Chapter 220 Nicknamed Cross Axe

Samsonov's idea did not appear out of thin air when speculating on the number one ace of the Red Air Force.

His doubts were not against Long Yun's combat capabilities; it was whether the ace could adapt to the combat environment as soon as possible and integrate into the combat sequence of the 237 Fighter Aviation Regiment.

He had a very detailed understanding of the combat career of the Red Air Force's number one ace. Samsonov knew that before he was transferred from the 309th Front Fighter Regiment, he always liked to fight alone in air combat, with less fighting more. The pilot arranged for him in the wingman in the regiment seemed to be poor in technology, but his luck was surprisingly good. After being shot down several times, he was able to return to the base safely, he became famous in the entire Western European front.

Since then, he has been allowed to attack alone and has experienced another parachuting adventure. Until the fierce air battle that shocked the two sides, the ace lieutenant colonel has been alone and is still at ease in the face of a large number of opponents.

Not only that, but probably dissatisfied with the low combat efficiency of over-visual missiles such as R-27. This ace pilot prefers to fly MiG aircraft to engage in high-intensity combat confrontation with the enemy, using skillful technology and bold judgment in thrilling visual air combat to eliminate enemy aircraft.

Among the twenty-five shot-down records of Victor Rezenov, most of them were obtained using R-73 missiles and navigation cannons, which probably shows how many times the number one ace combat was. Looking at the ace pilots that emerged in this war by the Red Air Force is actually a common phenomenon.

However, this is not absolute: Speaking of aces, Kamenev of their 237 Fighter Aviation Regiment is not like this.

In this war, Major Kamenev's six new shooting results (he had also killed one in border operations before), all of which were obtained using semi-active radar-guided R-27r. This combat style was affected by the 237th Regiment's engagement simulation.

As a fighter regiment responsible for air defense missions around the border, the 237th Regiment's combat method is mainly high-speed interception. After locking the target, it uses an over-visual missile to shoot these opponents that are invisible to the naked eye, and then turn and accelerate to break away, trying to avoid close-range conflicts with the opponent.

Even so, they have lost nearly ten fighter jets in the past month since the war started, and their combat effectiveness has continued to decline due to the inability to receive rapid replenishment.

In relatively dangerous combat, this kind of combat method of standing in the distance to fire guns is safer and can ensure the continuous combat capability of the aviation regiment; but it also makes many pilots who are eager to fight and eager to kill the enemy feel dissatisfied.

Can this Victor Rezenov, who prefers fighting, get used to and even like this combat mode now?

I'm afraid Long Yun will still have to answer this question himself.

Long Yun has not spyed through the thoughts of the people in the group these two days.

This was not surprising at first. Long Yun's consciousness-spying can only understand the ideas of a single person at the same time, and cannot achieve all-round reception and monitoring; and his current full attention is on Red No. 17, and he is very serious in both the launch training and technical learning, just to join the 237th Regiment's attack ranks one day earlier.

As the number of driving times increased, Long Yun's understanding of su-27 also grew rapidly.

After staying in the hangar with the technical manual and thinking about the significance of this heavy fighter to the Soviet Air Force and the entire Soviet Union, he felt that he had a great responsibility. He did not even rush to return to reality and participate in the first qualifiers of "Chenlong"; instead, he planned to be familiar with the Su-27s in a parallel world, and at least participate in a few battles before returning to reality.

In addition to his sense of responsibility for his current identity, what attracted him was also the real feeling of driving the Su-27 fighter jet.

Just like today, the single-seat su-27s with huge body and abundant oil are soaring in the sky of the Caucasus, traveling up and down between dense clouds; climbing up and down at a large angle of attack until the haze of gray clouds, the sunlight sprinkles on the streamlined body skin without any obscurity, and the changing soft luster appears under the lateral gaze of the dragon cloud.

This feeling of luring flying is indeed extraordinary pleasure.

"Call the anvil, the cross axe is ready, and interception training can be performed."

"The anvil received. - The ground reported the air condition without any abnormality; the target is set at one o'clock, with a distance of seventy and a height of five thousand five hundred meters."

Calling Korolev on the radio, the Red No. 17 Su-27s driven by Long Yun was driving, and the same type of fighter with a completely consistent appearance, with a completely consistent appearance, both turned on the force and climbed rapidly towards the airspace above 9,000 meters.

"Anvil" and "Cross Axe", these two tactical calls that are not fashionable at all, were the idea of ​​wingman Korolev.

In order to keep confidential in air combat and avoid leaking the identity of the pilots participating in the battle because of intercepting radio signals, Soviet Air Force pilots, like their NATO opponents, often use nicknames in combat rather than dull tactical numbers to call teammates.

However, unlike Western pilots who often miss some inexplicable artistic temperament or incredible ideas, compared with their call signs that are either non-mainstream or unknown to the so-called "orange", "cello", "Home" and other calls, these rough and heroic young people often use call signs that are very manly.

Now, although the airspace where Long Yun and Korolev are still far from the front line, under the surveillance of the three-coordinate radar deployed on the ground, there should be no NATO aircraft sneaking in; and the air force ace will soon take off to fight, so it is conceivable that it will be useless to keep it confidential at that time. Everyone will know that Victor Rezenov has left the European battlefield and arrived at the 237th Fighter Air Force Aviation Regiment.

So the current confidential call is mainly to create a habit for him, so he will not make mistakes when fighting later.

Oh, you said you don't know what a "cross axe" is?

Look at the sharp and winged r-27r with a flamboyant appearance, it should be the origin of this name.

In the 27s, which was carrying four out of two and a total of six missiles, Long Yun took the lead in maintaining a high angle of attack and climbed rapidly with force. In less than 30 seconds, Korolev, who maintained his formation next to him, flew up with his head held high and followed Long Yun's planes to keep their relative positions basically unchanged.

In the sky, the flames at the tail nozzles of the two fighter jets were particularly clear, leaving a rather steep white trail in the sky.

Looking back when tilting his head in the cockpit, Long Yun saw Korolev's su-27s, not only the painting was similar to his own landline, but also the number was the same as that of the same number.

Although he already knew the arrangement, Long Yun still found it a bit funny after seeing it.

Look at the surrounding sky, there is not even a bird at this time. Who should I show the exact number?
