Chapter 563 Responses from All Parties
The Air Force thinks this idea seems to be a good idea, but they are not impressed. Their demand is for better rescue pilots.
But the chief engineer of the National Defense Work Committee’s eyes lit up.
My brain feels itchy, as if something is about to grow.
After thinking about it, the Air Force thought that Gao Zhendong’s suggestion was also very good. If someone is responsible for the rescue, someone must be responsible for the cover. Otherwise, it will only add fuel to the fire. Maybe the person will not be rescued. Past search and rescue efforts The helicopter was still planted there.
"Well, that's a good idea. Come on, let's discuss it and hand it over to the Northeast Helicopter Factory together."
Just do it and strike while the iron is hot!
So Gao Zhendong lit the fire, and the experts at the meeting added firewood, and soon decided on this armed type, which would carry 7 people, have two standard external 12.7mm machine gun pods, and two multiple rocket launcher nests. indivual.
After settling this matter, Gao Zhendong put forward the last suggestion about the organization of the search and rescue force.
“If you are performing a search and rescue mission in a high-risk area, you may consider mobilizing Il-10 and other close support attack aircraft to participate in the search and rescue.”
The matter of converting the Il-28 into an attack aircraft has not yet been settled. Gao Zhendong used the Il-10 as an example. Anyway, this does not target a specific aircraft model, as long as it is an attack aircraft that undertakes close support missions.
In fact, this configuration is the youth version of Citigroup’s future standard search and rescue configuration.
It’s just that at that time, their guys were doing things better. The search and rescue team was Black Hawk or CH-53, the military commander was AH-1 or Apache, and the fixed wing flying in the sky was A-10.
They will even mobilize air superiority fighters in the combat airspace for cover, such as F-15s. But this involved thing was far away, and Gao Zhendong did not specifically bring it up.
You still have to copy the good things from Citigroup. Gao Zhendong has no psychological pressure on this, and he even feels secretly happy.
When the Air Force heard this, it was a good suggestion to ensure search and rescue safety to the greatest extent.
The next thing is the most important thing in the search and rescue system - the regulations of the institutional system.
However, this is very specific and involves many details. It is not an issue that should be solved at this meeting. Search and rescue is already beside the point. If we go to formulate a search and rescue system, it will be like a row of egrets ascending to the sky - —Flying farther and farther.
So Gao Zhendong just put forward a suggestion to establish an institutional system. Everyone discussed the basic composition of the institutional system and did not go any further. The rest of the matter was left to the comrades of the Air Force to solve on their own, and they only knew about this system. How to do it.
This day's meeting was occupied by the matter of search and rescue, but in a broad sense, this is really an integral part of the Air Force system, and it cannot be considered a complete digression.
And because of the sudden incident of "one-for-one" between our brave and fearless heroes and enemy planes, it seems logical to insert this slightly obscure topic.
As soon as it was time for dinner, the comrades of the National Defense Work Committee and the Air Force were very satisfied. The results of this day can be said to have completely made up for the missing link in the Air Force's combat system and filled the gap.
"Let's stop here today. This meeting has to be held tomorrow. Comrade Gao Zhendong's last model, I won't be reconciled if I don't hear it." The leader of the National Defense Work Committee laughed.
Everyone laughed. Although they were tired, they were very happy.
A fruitful meeting and a frivolous meeting have two completely different feelings.
Although one plane was lost, the pilot was fine, so we here are happy and optimistic about this matter.
But on the day when Gao Zhendong and his colleagues set up the search and rescue system, they shot down a U-2 again. The little information that was extremely limited because of the short time spread through various channels caused a stir. The reactions are different.
The first one to know was naturally the other side. For no other reason, the time was up and U-2 did not arrive.
This made the people at the Black Rat Squadron base immediately aware of this problem.
Yao Shou, the U-2 flying 24000 was also shot down!
Although they did not know the shooting process, their judgment of the shooting height was based on their understanding of the pilot.
Major Fang would never lower the flight altitude. He even said that the fact that he did not fly to 27,000 was already the result of Major Fang's strict execution of orders.
As for the possibility that the pilot surrendered while flying, there was no possibility. Major Fang's wife and children were still here, so he didn't dare.
This judgment made them feel like they were mourning. Looking at their superiors who were still waiting at the base, the squadron leader of the Black Rat Squadron said softly: "Sir, it has been two hours past the scheduled time. Even the radar signal None. It seems that he will not be able to come back. "
"Do you think it is possible that Major Fang was intercepted and chose another route? "
I just bought the plane on credit. I haven’t paid back the money (hai) yet (huan). The plane is gone.
This made the boss subconsciously unwilling to believe that the plane had been shot down again, but intended to grab a life-saving straw technically. The squadron leader shook his head: "Sir, at this time, even if the plane is flying normally and runs out of fuel, it will fall down."
"Was it brought down by a missile? "This is the last hope. As long as it is hit by missiles, the initiative is essentially still on your side.
The squadron leader did not continue to attack his superior. Anyway, he would not be able to get a plane in a short time. It was good to leave him some hope. If he talked too much, he might even wear small shoes for himself.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Although we have mastered the current positions of all known SA-2s on the opposite side, maybe they bought a new batch."
In his mind, there was still a sentence left. It's too easy to say - maybe they made new ones themselves, which would be more cruel to themselves than buying new ones.
“Yes, yes, that’s what it should be.” The boss, who agreed, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Sir, it's getting late. You should rest. The other side will always issue battle reports, whether they were shot down or our people flew down on their own. They won't lie about this. . ”
The Citigroup also learned about this very quickly. They didn’t care about the loss of the plane. It was not their own plane, and the people were not their own.
They were just surprised by the rapid rise of that eastern country. If they used to rely on will to fight, now their technology is also developing rapidly.
Maybe the overall situation is still lagging behind, but at least a few of them are changing visibly to the naked eye.
Anti-ship missiles and air-to-air missiles, judging from their actual combat performance, may not even be comparable to the weapons in our own hands. Of course, the former is an exception. Anti-ship missiles with iron bombs are the correct choice. choose.
The latter, although nothing is known about its performance, at least showed an extremely high hit rate against low-mobility targets.
What is even worse is that although the information from the Eastern Kingdom is not available, the Langley Center can obtain the information from Lao Maozi.
The performance of Lao Maozi's AA-2 infrared combat air-to-air missile has surpassed that of his own AIM-9B, and the most incredible thing is that the reason for this surpassing is that Lao Maozi has obtained technical support from that country!
This information immediately gave Citigroup a sense of absurdity as if the sun was rising from the west. Is this world already so strange?
This time, they shot down the U-2 flying at an altitude of 24,000 meters, which made Citigroup feel very nervous.
Especially in the intelligence, the possibility that it was shot down by a fighter jet cannot be ruled out.
Citizen also has no doubt about the shooting altitude of 24,000. This altitude may rise, but it is impossible to fall.
After taking stock of his arsenal, Citigroup found that it would be difficult for him to do the same thing with a fighter jet.
How did they do it?
This means that there is a possibility that we will no longer be able to obtain information about that country quickly and conveniently, and a huge unknown will undoubtedly bring huge pressure.
Especially under the premise that this huge unknown just beat me up ten years ago.
Maybe it’s time to do something around them. It’s not enough to just rely on the lonely side overseas.
The advantage of being alone overseas is safety, but the disadvantage is that the other party is also safe. This is especially true after that country used two anti-ship missiles to push its enemy back nearly 100 kilometers from the sea.
Compared to them, although Lao Maozi received the news a little later, it was much more detailed. This was reported by us on our own initiative.
This notification contains a simple combat process.
"Ula! Linochka, our Davaris in the south are still so brave and fearless!"
We did not hide our efforts to shoot down the U-2, because at the limit The fact that one fighter was lost while fighting under conditions.
When this happened, it was the country's problem that failed to provide better equipment, but it was not the fighter pilot's problem. He was a brave and fearless hero who tried his best.
"This is simply unbelievable. Maybe this kind of battle is difficult to repeat." Linochka is very objective.
“Yes, maybe this kind of battle is difficult to repeat, but I am sure that after this news spreads, there will be no more Citigroup planes in the southern sky in the short term. Citigroup dare not! "Comrade Minister is more objective.
“Fortunately we don’t need to take such big risks, we have better aircraft.” Linochka is full of pride about this, although the southern MiG-19 is better than our MiG-19 Better, but they only have MiG-19s for now.
“Yes, we have better aircraft, but we don’t have better results. Do you think I should be proud or frustrated?”
Compared with the frequency of U-2 activities, the number of U-2s shot down was not large. In Gao Zhendong’s previous life, a total of 7 U-2s were shot down, 5 of which were shot down by us, and the other two were shot down by Lao Maozi, one is a cigar country, all are the results of S-75 and its imitations.
It can be seen that the U-2 was very difficult for the fighters at that time.
“This is not all bad news. Citi people will associate the abilities of southern comrades with us, and perhaps the activities on our heads will no longer be frequent.” Linochka looked at the problem from a unique perspective.
