Chapter 434: Even if you have the instruction manual!
“I would like to hear the details.” Major Zhou is very good at listening to opinions.
The captain first introduced the situation in the direction of Bohai, the capital. After listening to it, Major Zhou felt doubtful.
"According to what you said, isn't the direction of Songjiang equally dangerous? Don't forget the existence of the unknown new radar station at the Songjiang protrusion."
The captain shook his head: "We You can enter from the mountainous area hundreds of kilometers south of Songjiang. Before approaching the coastline, fly at a low altitude of 50 meters. It will be difficult for any radar station to detect us. By the time they can detect us, we are only dozens of kilometers away from the coastline. , coupled with deliberately avoiding known radar stations, this way, the chance of them discovering us before we approach the coastline is very low.”
"But it will still be discovered?" As an electronics expert, Major Zhou still understands the capabilities of the opponent's radar.
"At this time, they have no time to mobilize fighter jets to prevent us from entering the mountainous area. Major Zhou, don't forget, once we break through the coastline and enter the mountainous area, the night will be our world whether we find it or not! We don't know how much The first time I flew out of a mountainous area at night while being chased by fighter jets from the opposite side. "But doesn't fuel consumption increase significantly when flying at low altitudes?" Major Zhou still understood this basic knowledge.
“This is another place where Songjiang is better than the capital. Songjiang is close and the fuel is very abundant. In order to prevent people from guessing the target before setting off, every time we set off, the fuel is very abundant. They are all fully loaded.”
After hearing the captain’s words, Major Zhou felt that it was very reasonable, and he put aside most of his worries: “Then this mission will rely on the superb skills of the brothers. This time period is approaching a major festival on the opposite side. Although it does not fall on October 1, the level of guarding must be far better than usual. Under this situation, we will definitely be able to collect more information. When the time comes, I will go up to the peak to ask for your credit. ”
The captain smiled and said: "Easy to say, easy to say, I will definitely give Major Zhou a safe journey."
The plane flew all the way at a low altitude of 50 meters. Time passed slowly, and the P-2V began to approach about 300 kilometers south of Songjiang. The coastline is less than 100 kilometers away from the coastline.
As a professional, the captain's judgment was accurate. On the sea more than 100 kilometers south of them, our electronic reconnaissance ship was still carrying out training missions.
In order to have enough rotating operators, rather than using a team of black and white, and considering that there may be more than one electronic reconnaissance ship in the future, the current electronic reconnaissance ship is basically a non-stop operation. Taking turns to train is an old tradition.
But this electric reconnaissance ship in training did not find the P-2V in the night sky. The dog flew too low and could not be seen. Similarly, the P-2V did not find that the radar power was fully turned on. , electronic reconnaissance ships scanning everywhere, otherwise, given the enemy's courage, they might have been frightened back.
Flat Earther: False, all curvature of the earth is false.
Just when the P-2V was only dozens of kilometers away from the coastline, the operator of a coastal radar station discovered clues.
"Report, found a target at sea, altitude 50 meters, distance 40 kilometers, bearing xxx, highly suspicious of P-2V."
In fact, it goes without saying that we can basically rely on P-2V. , except for this thing, other unknown targets would not fly to this height at this time, and the radar station quickly reported the situation to the corresponding command post.
“It seems that the enemy is still determined to give up!” the commander sighed while listening to the report from the radar station.
At the same time, a combat order was quickly issued: "Mobilize the two fighter jets patrolling the XXX airspace to intercept."
After receiving the order, the two fighter jets in the nearby airspace quickly rushed to the target airspace.
Unfortunately, the distance discovered was too close. By the time the fighter jets arrived, the enemy had already entered the mountainous area. Apart from the fleeting enemy signal, the two fighter jets were only greeted by ground clutter. them.
"Report, the enemy has entered the mountainous area from XXX area, the signal has been lost, we are tracking and searching."
However, the search ultimately found nothing. After the enemy plane entered the vast mountainous area, two aircraft The fighter jet disappeared without a trace.
Although the comrades at the command post had expected this, they still felt a little frustrated when they heard the result, and let it slip in again!
The good news is that in order to avoid the terrain, the enemy cannot maintain a low-altitude flight all the time. Occasionally, for safety, it needs to rise to a certain height, which allows the radar stations along the way to occasionally detect its presence. .
The more this happened, the more airspace commanders felt that the enemy was mocking them, and they became increasingly angry.
At the Eastern Command Center, a commander raised his head: "Judging from the enemy's flight trajectory, its target is most likely Songjiang! Has our Tu-4 been modified?" Even if it is only equipped with Even if you have a pistol, you have to go over and take a fucking shot!
The Tu-4 is not so bad. It was originally a bomber and had no shortage of machine guns for self-defense.
Another commander gave good news: "The situation reported today is that one aircraft has been modified! The radar and Thunder-1 have been installed, but the crew training time is not enough." He has also been concerned about this matter. .
The former commander thought for a while and made up his mind: "Don't be afraid if you don't have enough training. Use combat as training. No matter how much you master, even if you go up with a manual, you have to scare the enemy into a fight." ! The festival is approaching, and we cannot let the enemy be so arrogant!"
Another commander pondered: "You can try it."
Even if the radar and missile training is not enough, he is responsible for flying. Comrades, they have been trained for a long time. Considering the special modification purpose of these Tu-4s, they originally selected crews with good skills and capable of night flying. The enemy has no ability to resist. As the earliest strategic bomber, the Tu-4 has relatively complete night flight equipment and is not very dangerous.
From a time perspective, in order to avoid radar, the enemy has been flying The low and roundabout flight also greatly delayed their flight time, which should still be enough.
A phone call was made to an airport in Jianning, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. As the most complex radar modification in the Tu-4 modification work, it was carried out in Jianning. Even the Thunder-1 missile, which was born in the capital, was Radar modifications are all shipped here to be completed.
After receiving the call and limited time, the airport ground crew immediately divided into multiple groups and rushed to the Tu-4 pilot dormitory.
There are also comrades related to modification work in these dormitories.
Even if the radar modification staff are nearby in Jianning, in order to complete the modification work as soon as possible, they are just like the comrades from the Air Force and the comrades from the Institute of Guidance and Research who come from afar, eating and living at the airport, just to complete the modification work as soon as possible. The modification work can be done a little earlier.
It seems that their hard work and efforts were not in vain. At least the Figure-4 was able to be pulled out when it was needed most.
Hearing that all the Tu-4 units were called up, the leading comrades of the Jianning Electromagnetic Institute and the Institute of Guidance and Research also got up and called the comrades from their own units.
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know, but the comrades on the crew are up, let’s go see what’s going on.”
“Yes, yes, crew training It’s not over yet, maybe we can help.”
In less than twenty minutes, all relevant personnel gathered in front of Tu-4, including comrades from the factory who came to refit.
At first glance, this Tu-4 looks no different from the ordinary Tu-4, and the engine has not changed at all.
Looking carefully, four forward-facing Yagi antennas extend out from around its nose, slightly tilted downwards. It looks a bit like a night fighter in the S2 era. Its miniaturization, functionality and performance meet the requirements. There were not many radars at this time, so the comrades from the Institute of Electromagnetics simply installed the Yagi antenna.
Under the wing of Tu-4, four pylons are installed, on which four slender Thunder-1 missiles are hung. At this time, the protective cover on the front end of the seeker has been removed. Under the ground support lights, the optical system in the seeker reflected a faint light.
The pylon used by fighter jets is used on the Tu-4, which is more than sufficient. The Tu-4 flies at a slow speed, and the various performance requirements for missiles ejected downwards from the pylon are even lower than those for fighter jets.
The entire aircraft still uses the original bright color paint of the Tu-4. It is used on our own site, and there is no need to make it dark.
"Comrades, we just received an order from the Eastern Air Command Center. An enemy P-2V once again crossed into our land from the southern mountainous area of Songjiang. Preliminary judgment is that their destination is the Songjiang area. Superior We are required to use the new weapons that have been modified to take the initiative to attack the enemy. This will surely curb the enemy's arrogance."
The crew of the Tu-4 was overjoyed when they heard that they could go to the battlefield just after being modified. For them, it was nothing short of a great joy, and their mood for war was strong.
It takes time, energy and cost to modify it just for this day.
The comrades from the Institute of Electromagnetics and the Research Institute are dumbfounded. What do you mean? It’s not our share, right?
The leaders of the Institute of Electromagnetics and the Institute of Guidance and Research looked at each other and couldn't let go of this opportunity!
The comrades from the Institute of Electromagnetics spoke first: "What about us? The radar has just been modified and the comrades on the crew are not quite sure about its performance yet. It would be better for us to go up in person."
Research Director Comrades from the hospital also said: "Yes! The air-to-air missile has just been refitted, and many comrades operating the crew are not familiar with it yet. In order not to delay the fighter plane, we also asked to get on board!"
The comrades in the Air Force looked at each other: "You guys We can’t get on, and the plane can’t hold so many people.”
The electromagnetic institute said: “Just get me up, and add another radar operator.”
"Me too, the missile trumpeter and I, just the two of us. The Tu-4 is a bomber, and it doesn't carry bombs. We know that adding a few of us won't be a problem!"
In fact, it's just the missile trumpeter and the operator. Just go up with your hands, but as leaders, they must go up in this situation. The comrades below are all taking risks to join the battle at their request, but theirs is shrinking back, so how can it be done?
The comrades in the Air Force pondered for a moment. Time is urgent. We don’t have time to quarrel with the comrades who have come to fight in these places. If you want to go, then go! It is true that the comrades in the relevant combat positions of the crew have not yet fully carried out relevant training. With them here, we will have greater certainty.
