Chapter 532 Self-destruction? Don't even think about it!
Feitian 01's voice sounded in the command center. Every time he made a report, the joy on the faces of the commanders grew heavier.
After he finished his report, the two commanders made a quick decision.
Commander No. 1 took the microphone and issued an order to Feitian 01.
"Feitian Formation, this is the XX Airspace Command Center. We are now officially ordering that your formation's training mission today is cancelled, and will be converted into a combat mission. The target aircraft is U2."
When the two comrades of the Feitian Formation heard this, a rush of blood rushed to their foreheads. They had waited until today, haha!
Why practice? Isn’t it better to just beat the real guy?
"Feitian 01/02 understand!" The two men's firm and powerful voices sounded in the command center.
"You are now ordered to advance to the XX airspace at the maximum cruise speed!"
Receiving the order from the command center, the two 6 Masters made a beautiful turn in the air and headed towards the designated target airspace. Flying away, they are now north-east of U-2, and the flight direction of U-2 is northwest.
This airspace is the intersection airspace between the flying formation and the U-2 calculated by the command center in a side-to-side pursuit state. The actual intersection may be deviated, but there is no problem in the general direction.
The rendezvous distance of 600 kilometers took about 40 minutes at Mr. Liu’s cruising speed. The two pilots were focused on nothing, and under the command of the command center, they rushed towards the expected airspace for the engagement.
Time passed minute by minute, and on the U-2, Major Huang watched the radar warning while flying the plane, and felt a little relaxed.
For a while just now, even the warning sound of the П-20 disappeared. It seemed that it flew out of its range. Although a new radar warning signal soon came up, but from the own We have already flown over a P-20 radar station, but there was no response from the other side. We must be lucky this time.
The radar screen showed the radar signals of several aircraft in front of him. Judging from the speed and altitude, it should be the MiG-17 on the opposite side.
This makes Major Huang feel a little more relaxed. This proves that there is a high probability that there are no surface-to-air missile positions ahead. Otherwise, there is no need for the other side to make unnecessary efforts and send out this fighter jet that clearly cannot reach him. This will have a negative impact on the ground and air. Missile operations cause interference.
Thinking that the other party could only fly over thousands of meters in the air, helplessly watching him fly over, with no weapons but nothing to do, which made him feel even more comfortable.
The automatic photo reconnaissance mode on the aircraft has long been turned on. The U-2 is flying over according to the preset program, taking photos all the way. Major Huang did not take care of the photo taking, and flew over at his own risk. And in order to take care of the image quality, it also flew at an altitude of 21,000 meters, which is worthy of the old man.
My main focus must still be on saving my life.
A big problem was discovered at the command center.
"Commander, we don't have a radar station on the U-2 route, and the target will be lost."
P-20 is a good thing, and good things mean expensive, so the quantity purchased is on the coast. Tight defense can be guaranteed, but further inside, we can only focus on taking care of it.
And this time the U-2 route happens to have a lot of things that cannot be taken care of.
This puts the commander in a difficult position. Should he rely on the flying formation to fly over and find it himself? They knew very well about the radar on Master 6. The range of action in the stratosphere in clear skies was not as reliable as what the pilots could see with their own eyes.
At this time, the No. 2 commander remembered something.
"There is a Tu-4 special aircraft deployed at the nearby airport. It was originally for the P-2V. Now the P-2V is no longer here, and it has been a long time since it came out to exercise seriously."
The commander has eyes. Yiliang: "You mean, let the Tu-4 Special act as an air radar station?"
The Tu-4 Special has a high-power radar. Although it is not as good as the П-20, the range is For an aircraft like the U-2, it is not bad. With proper ground guidance, after flying over, even if the Tu-4 does not fly as fast as the U-2, it can still provide long-term air condition support.
At an airport in front of U-2, the four propeller engines of a Tu-4 made a huge roar, dragging its huge body into the air.
Major Huang stared at his radar screen and suddenly discovered a place that was different from usual. The signal of a large aircraft appeared on the radar display. At the same time, the radar warning sounded loudly. A new radar frequency appears.
This made Major Huang a little uneasy. This had never happened before, and no accomplice had reported this situation.
He stared at the signal of this large aircraft carefully for a long time. Judging from the radar signal, it was a Tu-4 on the opposite side. Except for this, there was no such big aircraft on the opposite side.
This conclusion made him feel slightly relieved.
Modified Tu-4 with radar. People who flew P-2V in the past mentioned that this aircraft was very difficult for the P-2V. Even the last P-2V that was shot down was Maybe it did it.
But this is not a threat to Major Huang. He knows very well that this plane is too far away from him. The altitude difference of 10 kilometers makes any action of this plane in vain. Just for show.
He guessed half of it right. Although this Tu-4 Special was equipped with missiles, it was obviously unable to defeat the U-2. However, the mission of this Tu-4 was not to shoot him down, but only for the air situation relay. .
At this time, thirty minutes had passed since the Feitian formation changed its mission. The auxiliary fuel tanks of the two aircraft had been burned out and thrown away, but there was still plenty of fuel left.
The removal of the auxiliary fuel tank also makes the fighter more flexible and lighter. The impact of the auxiliary fuel tank is not only the weight, but also the damage to resistance and aerodynamic shape.
"Feitian 01, spring."
The command center's secret message came from the earphones, which let the Feitian formation know that it was already approaching the enemy aircraft.
The U-2 and Feitian formations are flying high in the sky. The command center can see clearly through the radar network on the ground and in the air. There is no need for the combat aircraft in the air to report the enemy contact situation themselves like the P-2V. Instead, It is the fighter jets in the air that can maintain radio silence and just follow the instructions from the command center.
The comrades in the command center looked at the Zhan-6 at an altitude of about 16,000 meters high in the sky, rapidly approaching the U-2 at an altitude of 21,000 meters.
The practical ceiling of the Zhan-6, thanks to the LYP-6, is 18,000 meters, but the flying formation must leave a certain space for afterburner sprint. The climb rate of this type of Zhan-6 is 190 meters Every second, the height difference reserved is enough for it to sprint for 10 seconds. "Feitian, summer."
Getting closer, the pilot comrade Feitian 01 began to check the status of the aircraft.
At this time, the U-2 may have a guilty conscience. Major Huang once again felt a little uneasy. Although the Tu-4 was very low in altitude, it followed him relentlessly. The special radar signal belonging to the Tu-4, It has always shone on me and never disappeared.
This persistent radar signal shrouded Major Huang's heart like a dark cloud.
There must be something wrong. A Tu-4 is used to continuously track and detect U-2. This situation has never happened before.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Major Huang still understands this truth.
"Flying, autumn."
At this time, the command center's secret message sounded again in the Feitian formation's headphones.
In fact, at this time, guidance is no longer needed. There is an important requirement for pilot selection these days: good eyesight! 1.5 is not enough, 2.0 is enough.
The two pilot comrades in the flying formation have been able to visually detect the target.
High in the sky ahead, a small black dot was flying in the air, slowly growing in size at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
The distance in autumn is the encounter between you and me, the coincidence that just makes me take the initiative.
In human terms, the secret word "Autumn" given by the command center represents the distance between the two sides, which is exactly the distance required for Zhan-6 to launch an afterburner sprint and complete the jump attack.
It's too far and out of reach. It's not too close. It's even too much to rush directly under the person's house.
Feitian 01 initiated the first active call since the mission change and high-speed contact with the enemy.
"Feitian 01 requests an attack."
The two commanders in the command center looked at each other.
"Permission to attack! Pay attention to your own safety."
Feitian 01, who received the permission order, issued combat instructions to Feitian 02.
"You watch, I'll go!"
"02 understands!"
Feitian 01 connected power to the missile, turned on the afterburner, and a long tail popped out The red flame roared and stabbed diagonally toward the U-2 above!
On the radar screen of Figure 4, I saw a small dot flashing with afterglow. Every time it scanned, it would move forward a step.
In U-2, Major Huang felt that something was abnormal, and his uneasiness had reached its peak. Although the various signals did not change much, he still decided decisively to increase the altitude!
Under his operation, the U-2 nose raised slightly and flew upwards.
But by this time, it was already too late.
The U-2's climb rate of 50 meters per second seemed inadequate compared to the 6 Ye's climb rate of 190 meters per second.
If Major Huang had had an outside perspective, he would have discovered in despair that a Yinyan carrying two missiles at the rear was rising rapidly, approaching him at a speed exceeding Feng Lei.
But Major Huang did not have an outside perspective. He, including the radar on his plane, could not see the Z-6 approaching rapidly from behind and below. He was just slightly nervous and could just climb to 24,000. As for reconnaissance Mission, damn it!
At this time, the pilot of Feitian 01 has turned on the cooling device of the Thunder-1 missile on the right. For safety, he only fires one bomb at a time.
The sprint and jump route of Mr. 6 is very straight compared to that of U-2. The pilot of Feitian 01 does not even need to turn on the radar to cross-link missile fire control. The seeker of Thunder-1 is in the process of sprinting. The locking signal has been sent and the enemy aircraft has been successfully locked.
This time, Major Huang was still controlling the U-2's slow climb. It wasn't that he didn't want to go faster, but that he couldn't go faster.
"18000"
"19000"
"20000"
At this time, Feitian 01 had almost sprinted to the top. The pilot pressed the button, and a fire flashed under the right wing, heading towards U-2, which had not climbed very high, pounced straight away.
In Feitian 02, which also climbed to the ultimate altitude of 18,000 meters but did not jump to attack, the pilot pressed the shutter button of the camera gun, and a somewhat blurry photo was frozen on the film.
A few seconds later, Major Huang, who knew nothing about the rear attack, felt the fuselage shake violently. All kinds of alarms in the cockpit suddenly sounded, the lights flashed randomly, and the sounds were loud!
"Hit!" Although he didn't know where the attack came from, he still decisively activated the ejection. As for self-destruction, go to hell!
In Feitian 01, where the altitude had begun to fall, the pilot looked at the beautiful fireworks in the sky and smiled happily.
