Chapter 78 A World War Shocked the World (Part 2)

"Squad leader, it's not me, it's really not me." Lei Wanchun opened his mouth wide and squeezed out these words for a long time, and his tone was so weird that he couldn't speak.

"Or squad leader, count the bullets, I can guarantee that there will be no more shots." Lei Wanchun said while turning off the bullet security and removing the magazine of the Type 81 submachine gun...

Everyone in the high-legged house looked at each other, and the chattering Shao Ruixiang murmured: "Is it really a close comrade-in-arms Chairman Jin? The distance from North Korea to Nansha is a bit far away."

"But this is too accurate." Shao Ruixiang smacked his lips.

With a "bang", Shao Ruixiang was kicked out of the anti-aircraft machine gun by Lu Yonghua.

"Don't let your mother gossip, what are you talking nonsense? You haven't sent a report to inform the base that the two Su22 attack aircraft have crashed, not shot down, but crashed, do you understand?" Lu Yonghua's smile could not be concealed in his voice.

In Lu Yonghua's perception, except for the legendary Second Artillery, the Republic has no other military department that can send strike forces thousands of kilometers away.

The Republic's strategic and tactical missile forces in the 1980s were simply shrouded in a bottomless fog. Except for a few senior and scientists who knew the truth, the remaining officers and soldiers and even middle-level officers who served in the Strategic Missile Tactical Force had no idea about the true performance and data of the Republic's missiles.

Lu Yonghua also relied on the gossip news that was spread among soldiers and was similar to gossip, and had a vague understanding of the Republic's strategic and tactical missiles, knowing that the thing can take off thousands of kilometers away and then accurately destroy the target.

The only Navy missile frigate with air defense function, No. 531, returned to the Zhanjiang base seven or eight days ago. The next supply cycle has not yet arrived, and there has been no news of the 531 ship coming to cruise. In Lu Yonghua's view, after receiving a telegram from the Vietnam Su22 attack aircraft, the base can react in more than an hour and put the strike force on Yongshu Reef thousands of miles away. It must be a good thing for the Second Artillery to do.

But this is too accurate. Across thousands of miles, two Su22 attack aircraft of the size of a house were hit by a Su22 attack aircraft. The comrades who had served in the Second Artillery then said that we were not bragging wherever we pointed. No wonder the Second Artillery troops had a high level of confidentiality. Such a powerful army should be hidden, Lu Yonghua thought to himself.

"Dongya, Dongya, two enemy planes have disappeared from the radar. Repeat once, the two enemy planes have disappeared from the radar." Qiao Pengfei's voice was full of excitement.

"The two caves are doing beautifully." Ning Lei's voice was also full of smiles.

"Two holes, restore awg-9 fire control lightning to reach pulse Doppler search mode, continue to maintain alertness, repeat once, continue to maintain alertness."

"The two holes received and are changing the working mode of awg-9 fire control radar."

For the F14 fighter, the AWG-9 has as many as 7 working modes, covering single-to-single-to-many, ultra-visual-range air-to-air missile attacks from ultra-long-distance single-to-one, single-to-many, and automatic locking of infrared fighting missiles during close-range combat. The pulse Doppler search mode is the furthest search mode of the F14 fighter.

The radar version provided by the United States to the Republic of AWG-9 is the earliest version of the F14 fighter equipment. Its pulse Doppler search mode is the discovery distance of large backfire bombers up to 213 kilometers. Generally speaking, when the F14 fighter operates independently without the support of early warning aircraft, it mostly uses the pulse Doppler search mode of the awg-9 radar.

The off-white painted f14 fighter has reduced its altitude to about 5,000 meters. Large clouds floating in the hollow space often pass outside the transparent cockpit of the fighter. The wings of the f14 fighter, which still maintain a cruise speed of Mach 0.87, have been closed at a very small angle. From a distance, the entire fuselage looks like a triangular arrow in flight.

"Eagle's Nest calls Haidongqing, Eagle's Nest calls Haidongqing, please answer when you receive it."

The call from the Lingshui Airport Tower sounded again in Ning Lei and Qiao Pengfei's headphones.

"Haidongqing received it, please speak with Eagle Nest."

"Haidongqing, Yongshu Reef Guard troops sent a message that the two Su22 attack aircraft have been destroyed. My God, how did you do it?" The huge questions and curiosity made the liaison officer of Lingshui Airport Tower subconsciously say the questions in his heart.

The Republic Navy Air Force, which had no idea about the out-of-visual air combat, felt very incredible that Ning Lei shot down two Su22 attack aircraft in a blink of an eye. From authorizing Ning Lei to the right to fire freely, to receiving a telegram from the Yongshu Reef Guards that the Su22 attack aircraft was destroyed, the time interval between them was less than 200 seconds.

If the invalid time such as telegram was removed, Ning Lei's plane completed this fatal attack, and only took about 2 minutes to kill an enemy plane, an average of more than 60 seconds.

Could it be that the pilots of the Su attack aircraft 22 were blind and fools, and they didn’t see the F14 fighter coming? In the perception of the Republic’s Navy Air Force, this air battle would take at least 4 or 5 minutes. You should know that the average time for an air battle was about 8 minutes above the Korean battlefield.

Even if the current flight speed of fighter jets and electronic equipment have made great progress compared to the Korean War, the air combat staff in the airport war room always believed that Ning Lei would take 5 minutes to shoot down or drive out enemy aircraft in a 1-to-2 situation.

Before Ning Lei could reply, the sound of awg-9 buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the cockpit of the F14 fighter jet when the awg-9 radar discovered an unknown target.

"Dongya, Dongya, I found an UFO, with a position of 25 degrees and a distance of 149 kilometers. It seems to be a formation of 4 aircraft, with an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters."

"Dongyao received it."

"The UFO is pointing at 170 degrees, with a speed of 1.1 Mach. It flies so fast, so we should accelerate." Qiao Pengfei prompted the latest data of the UFO.

"Received, the two holes are firmly seated. I will climb up 1,000 meters and speed up to Mach 1.2." Ninreira took off the flight joystick and turned on the afterburner switch of the tf-30-p-414 engine.

The F14 fighter jets shuttled through the clouds made a huge roar. As the plane accelerated, the sweep angle of the two wings became larger. As the two TF-30-p-414 engines burned, a short orange flame appeared at the tail nozzle of the plane. The plane quickly jumped out of the clouds and climbed into the sky.

"Eagle's Nest, Haidongqing needs authorization to open fire freely." Ning Lei said unfastly.

"I received the Eagle's Nest, Haidongqing waited."

After a moment...

"If it can be confirmed that the UFO is the Vietnam Air Force, Haidongqing can judge the situation on the battlefield by itself, and repeat it once. If the unknown target is the Vietnam Air Force, Haidongqing can judge the situation on the battlefield by itself."

"Haidongqing received it."

"Two holes, start the interception mode of aim-7 and aim-9, and take the enemy in three minutes. We will fight the Vietnamese in close combat." Ning Lei's tone could not hide his excitement.

The F14 fighter used by the Republic is randomly equipped with the Aim-7 Sparrow semi-active radar guided air-to-air missile. Although it is called a medium-range air-to-air missile, the model provided by the United States for the Republic is only the old Aim-7e (Note 1), with a range of only 15 kilometers to 20 kilometers, which is almost the same as the Aim-9 Diamondsnake infrared fighting missile used for close-range combat. The range of the US Navy's active Aim-7f is as long as 60 kilometers.

The only place where the aim-7e Sparrow Air-to-air missile is stronger than the Aim-9 Sparrow Fighting Missile is that the Sparrow Air-to-air missile adopts semi-active radar guidance. After discovering the target, it can be fully launched in all directions, unlike the infrared-guided Sparrow missile that can only be used for tail-chasing attacks.

When the F14 fighter launches interception mode, the flight data of the enemy aircraft will be synchronized instantly with the airborne missile. After the missile guidance part is solved, the fighter pilot can launch missiles at any time and greatly increase the hit rate of air-to-air missiles.

Lu Yonghua watched the two flames burning on the sea surface gradually extinguishing. The wreckage of the Su22 attack aircraft had long sank into the seabed hundreds of meters deep. What is still maintaining the flames are just some fuel floating on the sea surface.

He casually closed the insurance of the 54-type anti-aircraft machine gun and was about to call someone to move the bullet box back to the ammunition warehouse in the workplace. A faint roar came from the extremely distant skyline.

"Did you hear any sound?" Lu Yonghua first listened with his ears for a long time, then looked at his comrades standing beside him and asked.

"The squad leader, it seems to be the sound of the engine of the plane." Shao Ruixiang said.

"Lei Wanchun, go and take out the telescope."

When Lei Wanchun took out the telescope from the workroom, the roar in the sky was clearly heard. He raised his hand to put the 76-type high-power telescope on the bridge of his nose, and Lei Wanchun carefully searched the sky that made a roar.

"The squad leader, four large aircraft heading northeast, and the model cannot be identified for the time being, the country." Lei Wanchun said loudly.

"I'll identify the truth. Who except Vietnamese would come from the southwest?" Lu Yonghua raised his hand and pulled the security of the anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Xiao Shao, I'm going to send a report. As soon as I determine the target, I will send the news back to the base immediately. Comrades, the bullets are loaded, and the big-headed fly is coming again." Lu Yonghua shouted loudly.

"Squad leader, if you were still a Vietnamese, would you say Chairman Jin still be able to control this time?" Shao Ruixiang asked in a strait.

"I'm just worried, I'm not going to send a report yet. I'll send you anything I want to say. Don't come to the post later." Lu Yonghua raised his foot and kicked Shao Ruixiang out of the post of the anti-aircraft machine gun post.

"Dongyao, I think this is a trap." Qiao Pengfei said in the back seat.

"First use two Su22 attack aircraft as bait, then start the fighter planes to cruise the outer circle, and choose the right time to encircle and hunt the targets. These are the tactics we used to in the Korean battlefield back then. I am sure these four aircraft must be the Vietnamese Air Force MiG-23 fighters. This time the Vietnamese target is us, not Yongshu Reef at all." Ning Lei's tone was full of disdain.

In the 1980s, there were only two models of the Su22 attack aircraft and the MiG23 fighter that could fly to the Yongshu Reef.

"At present, the course, altitude and speed of the enemy aircraft remain unchanged. Didn't the MiG-23 fighter's airborne radar have a detection distance of hundreds of kilometers? Why haven't we been discovered yet?" Qiao Pengfei looked at the data returned by the airborne radar in confusion and said.

Ning Lei was not sure about this issue, so he could only say: "Let's be careful."

How could the two of them know that although the detection distance of the high-altitude Skylark radar equipped by the MiG 23 fighter is said to be nearly 100 kilometers, it is actually the detection distance of a large aircraft with a radar scattering cross-section (rcs) exceeding 50 square meters. For targets with a RCS cross-section of 20 square meters, the detection distance of the MiG 23 airborne radar is only 56 kilometers, while the RCS cross-section of the F14 fighter is only 12 square meters.

When the MiG-23 fighter discovers the F14 fighter, the distance between the two aircraft will be closer to less than 50 kilometers. For the supersonic fighter flying head-on, the 50 kilometers distance between the two sides will enter the fighting area in less than 30 seconds.

From discovery to contact, the reaction time for the MiG pilot will not be more than 20 seconds. In the situation where the ground command and early warning are separated, the Soviet-style aircraft's perception of the battlefield situation has dropped significantly.

Through the telescope, Lu Yonghua has identified the model of the MiG23 fighter. Although he has not seen the sign under the wings yet, he can guess the origin of these four aircraft with a little brain.

Seeing the MiG23 fighter aircraft group starting to lower its altitude under the leadership of the pilot aircraft, Lu Yonghua was about to put down his telescope and return to the anti-aircraft machine gun position, but suddenly found that the MiG aircraft group seemed to be a toad that was suddenly thrown into a hot water pot, and it suddenly pulled up without warning. It turned out that the neat four-plane formation was like ducks that had exploded. The four planes flew around in different directions.

What is this? Lu Yonghua observed for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what the MiG 23 fighter wanted to do. He put down his telescope and looked at the climbing MiG 23 and shook his head in confusion.

"Squad leader, look behind you." Lei Wanchun, who was outside the anti-aircraft machine gun position, shouted at the top of his throat.

Lu Yonghua quickly turned around and looked in the direction of Lei Wanchun's finger.

A gray-white painted fighter plane had just emerged from the clouds in the north of the high-foot house, and the dark red 815 stars on the wings were clearly visible.

"Our plane is our plane." The warrior on the high-footed house immediately cheered.

The soldiers standing outside the high-legged house looked for a long time and found that only one plane came out of the clouds. The cheers slowly diminished. A huge question arose in everyone's hearts. One-on-four, can this win?
