Chapter 134: The King of the Supersonic Age

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The crew of the Cento spent the next few minutes witnessing a scene that would last a lifetime, so much so that in interviews years later there were still claims that there was a moment when I really thought that World War III had begun.

Lillian, who was on board the Hundred-Eyes at the time, expressed this concern in an interview with the New York Times, and I began to worry about the rest of the route, and it was not until the ship's communications department confirmed that the world was still at peace in the ports of Tokyo and Singapore, and that we rescued an A7 attack aircraft and three MiG-23 pilots who had parachuted out, that the atmosphere on the ship recovered from anxiety.

Unlike the MiG-23 fighter that is trying to climb, the F14 fighter at high altitude does not make a half-dive appearance, and with the two sides heading towards a high hedge, for the MiG-23 fighter, the window opportunity to launch the R23 spire semi-active air-to-air missile plus the entire guidance time will not exceed 2O seconds.

After removing the first part of the missile and the flight time, there can be a maximum of 1o seconds is the effective attack time, but in this 1o second time, in addition to maintaining the continuous irradiation of the airborne radar on the intended target, the pilot must also carry out a wide range of maneuvers, after all, the opponent's medium-range air-to-air missiles are not vegetarian.

It can be said that the real strength of pilots from all over the world is completely reflected in this short 2o seconds, and in this extremely high sport, the comparison between the flying ace and the ordinary pilot's Su zhì can be judged immediately.

If this air battle were to be carried out over Fiery Cross Reef, Comrade 6 Guanghua, the supreme commander of Fiery Cross Reef, would definitely be keenly aware. The Vietnamese Air Force and the Soviet Air Force were at least two streets apart.

When the two sides were just approaching the distance of the medium-range missiles that could be fired, the four high-climbing MiG-23 fighters could not wait to launch their own R23 spire semi-active air-to-air missiles.

In the case of the R23 Spire air-to-air missile, which is only the pole of M2, it will have a higher hit rate when fired within 2O kilometers between the two sides.

The F14 fighter jet in the sky was unaware of the four straight lines of wolf smoke, and the flight path was still as if it had been measured by a ruler. Straight into the formation of MiG-23 fighters.

When the distance between the two sides is shortened to 15 kilometers. The high-altitude F14 fighter began to maneuver in a high-G, and as a string of flaming infrared decoys was dropped, the high-dashing F14 fighter made a large-angle S-shaped maneuver on the course, and almost in the blink of an eye, the four white lines were thrown away from the new course.

Ruan Zhiming never expected it. This F14 fighter overhead not only did not dive into the Sparrow semi-active air-to-air missile. Even the altitude and general course have not changed. After a continuous course change with a high G value, he walked over his head as if nothing had happened.

I was ignored, I was ignored! It's a complete humiliation. Thinking that he was tossing and turning in the air in vain with his formation like a clown, a wave of anger couldn't help but rise from the bottom of Ruan Zhiming's heart, damn the Chinese guys, you will pay a heavy price for your ignorance and arrogance, Ruan Zhiming's brows are about to twist together.

"The Mekong River called Changsha Island, notified the Su-22 formation to raise the alert level, and that there were enemy fighters infiltrating the rear of the battle line, and notified the 5th team of Wayama to intercept the enemy fighters with all their might. ”

Although Ruan Zhiming said that he was angry, he was still keenly aware of the possible crisis, and the Su-22 attack aircraft without radar could completely use the name target aircraft in the face of the F14 fighter plane, and the core of this attack on the Chinese naval fleet was the Su-22 attack aircraft that could shoot all kinds of rockets and X-series air-to-surface missiles.

"Mekong understands. The Vietnamese Air Force set up a command center in the Spratly Islands on Spratly Island and quickly conveyed Nguyen Chi Minh's orders.

"The Mekong River called Changsha Island to inform the six teams of Songshan that the course mission would remain unchanged, and that they should pay attention to changes in the airspace ahead at any time. Ruan Zhiming did not forget to arrange the forward alert of the group while making a U-turn, and in terms of the flight degree of the Mo.9 of the 6th team of Watayama, it only took 4O seconds to reach his current position to take over the alert.

"The 1st and 2nd teams of Watayama turned and climbed with strength, and tried their best to intercept the enemy fighters that had already flown to the rear. ”

During the time of communication with the base, Ruan Zhiming's line of sight basically never left the radar screen, and after finally confirming that there was no new air situation on the radar, Ruan Zhiming finally ordered all the MiG-23 fighters of the second wave to turn to deploy from three directions, and strive to annihilate the F14 fighters that crossed the defense line in the rear.

The MiG-23 fighter is characterized by a very good horizontal straight line performance, but the turning performance is not very good, and the high-altitude performance is even worse, at sea level when the MiG-23 fighter can maintain a climb of 26o m / s, but only to the height of 2ooo m The climb plummeted to 15o m / s, which is also a strange model in the history of fighters.

For Ruan Zhiming, after 15 seconds, the entire formation can complete an 18o degree turn, counting the time wasted in communicating with the base, the F14 fighter that slipped through the net is already 15 kilometers away.

In the sky above the Hundred-Eyed Giant, F14 fighters similar to the US Navy's Seagull Gray paint have already skimmed over the ship's channel, and even the shadows have disappeared, and the remaining eight MiGs in the high altitude are distributed in the vast airspace, after making a maneuver with a large angle turn. Changing its flight attitude and climbing high into the sky, a few orange tail flames appear extra dazzling against the background of the clear blue sky.

On the aft deck of the Hundred-Eyed Giant, a young male with a telescope suddenly pointed to the northern sky and shouted: "Look, another F14 fighter, I bet there must be an aircraft carrier of the Pacific Fleet near us." ”

With the shouts of the young people, the attention of the crowd on the deck was drawn to the north, and the MiGs with their orange tail flames were left behind in the blink of an eye by the crew who were watching the excitement.

Ning Lei glanced at the front of the air intake outside the cockpit and its thick white fog, and Roque's voice immediately sounded in the headset: "Dongyu." The third batch of MiG-23 is 3o km from us. The second batch is 25 kilometers away from us, and we expect to meet the enemy in 25 seconds, if only there were 8 rattlesnakes, then we can kick the Vietnamese in the ass. ”

"There aren't 8 rattlesnakes though. But 800 2omm shells were enough for the Vietnamese to drink a pot. It can be a bit bumpy at a moment. The two of them are going to sit down. Ning Lei glanced at the m2.25 on the empty watch and said with a laugh.

Like an unmistakable scalpel, Ning Lei finally appeared in the most appropriate place at the most appropriate moment, and the speeding F14 fighter jet crossed the sky for 2o kilometers in twenty-five seconds. Put the MiG-23 fighter in front of him who was doing a crazy turning maneuver into the locking aperture.

Ning Lei will never know what the MiG-23 fighter pilot in the locked aperture heard and said in the more than 2o seconds before pressing the Sidewinder missile button, but this is no longer important, all the qiē in front of him was already doomed when Ning Lei rushed to the radar recognition circle of the MiG-23 fighter at a degree of M2.25.

The MiG-23 fighter that served as a guard confirmed that there was a new air situation, and then transmitted the alarm to the Spratly Island base, and then transferred it from the Spratly Island base to the MiG-23 with the tail exposed, which consumed at least 2o3o seconds, and for modern air combat, 2o or 3o seconds after things are enough to decide the outcome of an air battle.

Seeing the two white smoke trails in front of him winding towards the two cylinders with orange flames more than half a foot long, Ning Lei did not wait to confirm the results of the battle at all, but steadily pushed the joystick forward, and the nose of the F14 fighter pressed down accordingly, jumping towards the other two MiG-23 fighters that were maneuvering below.

For Johann Strauss, he did not know that he was about to become a witness to history, and the moment he was born in front of him will remain in the depths of his memory and will never forget it for a lifetime.

Looking at the two fires flashing in the sky, and the two MiGs rolling down with thick black smoke and sparks, Johann Strauss waved his fist excitedly, the NATO F14 fighter was simply too exciting, just like a knight in heavy armor, armed with a spear, and rushing forward in the Middle Ages, accurate, brave, deadly, and unstoppable.

Holding his breath and watching the F-14 fighter jets in the telescope roll in the sky like shadows with the violently maneuvering MiGs, Johann Strauss felt his heart skip out.

No sound could be heard, only a long tongue of fire could be seen spit out from under the cockpit canopy of the F14 fighter, and another MiG aircraft emitted thick black smoke and planted it crookedly on the sea to the northwest.

"Beautiful!" Johann Strauss finally couldn't help but yell, "As long as Lao Tzu can go ashore alive, he will find this pilot to take a group photo and sign it." ”

A noisy commotion suddenly sounded behind him, and Johann Strauss had just turned his head when several A7 attack planes with their mouths wide open appeared in the northern sky.

"Could it be that the U.S. Pacific Fleet has come over? The Soviets, who lost the battle, will not vent their anger at us. Looking at the A7 attack aircraft scattered across the entire skyline in the distance, Johann Strauss muttered.

"Hai Dongqing called the eagle's nest, and Hai Dongqing called the eagle's nest and notified the birds to start hunting freely. Roque looked at the large flickering dots of light on the tactical display, and instead of Ning Lei, he gave the attack order to the A7 attack aircraft group.

"Eagle's Nest received. ”

Ning Lei was concentrating on piloting the fighter, trying to put the MiG-23 fighter jet that was rolling hard in front of him into the light green circle of the head-up display (HUD), and the radar officer behind him, Luo Ke, in addition to contacting the base, focused his attention on the lateral and side-rear airspace outside the cockpit and the tactical display, and gave Ning Lei some hints of the surrounding air situation from time to time.

At this time, the entire airspace has been completely chaotic. When the Ninglei fired the Sidewinder missile, the Vietnamese Air Force took over the four MiG-23 fighters of the third batch of the Songshan Sixth Team, which had been guarded by the original Songshan No. 2 Team, and they were already less than 1o kilometers away from the Ninh Lei.

However, the MiG-23 fighters that took over the alert did not attack Ning Lei in time for fear of accidentally injuring their teammates, but now they broke into the radar identification circle with Ning Lei, and there are 12 A7 attack aircraft flying closer.

In the face of such a complex situation, where can it be straightened out in just over 2o seconds, and by the time the sixth team in charge of vigilance reported the latest battlefield situation, Ning Lei had already reached the distance from the MiG-23 fighter in hand-to-hand combat.

One of the two MiG-23 fighters shot down by Ninh Lei using a Sidewinder infrared combat missile was Nguyen Chi Minh, the forward commander of the Vietnamese military's operation to reinforce Nam Zi Island, and the head of the 372nd Aviation Regiment.

After Nguyen Chi Minh was shot down, the air command system of the Vietnamese was temporarily paralyzed. In the rear piloted the deputy commander of the reinforcement operation of the Su-22 attack aircraft. At the base on Spratly Island in Guò, he is trying to rebuild the air command system.

This qiē was born in less than a minute, and in the face of the mess, the MiGs of the six MiGs of the Watayama team, who were in charge of the vigilance, had no choice but to focus on the A7 attack aircraft group directly in front of them. Let's save our lives first.

High in the air of the Cyclops. A MiG-23 fighter is at full throttle. More than half a meter of orange flames were rising from the tail vent, rolling desperately in the sky, and a light gray painted F14 fighter followed the MiGs like a shadow.

At low altitude. Four MiG fighters have already collided head-on with four A7 attack planes, and in the distance, two groups of two MiGs in two formations have just completed their turns, while in the opposite direction are two groups of A-attack planes in a four-plane formation.

As the distance between the MiG aircraft and the A7 attack aircraft narrowed sharply, in a flash of fire, several white lines crisscrossed the sky, and then the fighters all over the sky began a large-angle high-G maneuver.

At an altitude of more than 4o kilometers away from the Hundred-Eyed Giant, an F14 fighter was pulling a somersault, trying to shake off the two MiG-23 fighters following behind him, and in the low altitude of this airspace, 12 Su-22 attack planes painted with the logo of the Vietnamese Air Force were formed into three high-altitude and low-level four-plane formations with a distance of seven or eight kilometers from each other, and were flying towards the direction of the Hundred-Eyed Giant.

A large exclamation suddenly sounded from the crowd of people on the deck of the Hundred-Eyed Giant, and with the flash of fire, a large puff of black smoke suddenly appeared from the tail of an A7 attack aircraft, and the entire plane staggered away crookedly towards the north.

The end of the exclamations in the crowd had not yet dispersed, and several cheers began again, and as several people with binoculars danced and shouted loudly to the shouts of the crew, people looked up into the sky, and a MiG had broken down into several large pieces, and was billowing down from the sky with green smoke and flames.

"Four, I watched that guy fight four. Johann Strauss danced and pointed to the swooping light gray F14 fighter and shouted as he pulled the people around him.

"That guy's skills are so good, it's like Kungunir in the sky (Note 1), the whole process of the birth of an ace of air combat, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime thing, can I have a chance to see it? ”

Johann Strauss's face turned red with excitement, and the crowd of people around him also focused their attention on the light gray F14 fighter as Johann Strauss spoke.

Ning Lei did not know that a nickname that was about to accompany him for the rest of his life had been shouted by a man named Johann Strauss, and at this time, the complexity of the air situation had long since passed the command ability of the F14 fighter, and the entire airspace had been plunged into chaos.

After knocking out the nearest MiG aircraft, in the face of the chaotic airspace, Ning Lei decided not to care about Qiao Pengfei in the distance, but to go to the low-altitude cruise below, although the A7 attack aircraft has good air combat capabilities, but after all, it is not a professional air superiority fighter, plus the pilot training time is too short, if the loss is too much, it is enough for the Navy and Air Force to suffer for a long time.

The most striking feature of modern air combat is that it is short in time and high in intensity, and it is often immediately apparent that victory or defeat is achieved within a few seconds of round conflict, and even if neither side of the round encounter has made any achievements, then in the next few minutes, it will definitely produce decisive results.

From time to time, A7 attack planes in a two-plane formation will fly over the Hundred-Eyed Giant, and several clouds of pale cyan smoke or smoke trails will be scattered in the clear sky at different heights and directions, which are the traces produced when the fighter plane exploded or crashed just now.

At this time, the crew of the Hundred-Eyed Giant had already felt that on the A7 attack aircraft and F14 fighters, the military logo was not the well-known blue five-star and nayy but an unfamiliar text and logo, but looking at the two types of aircraft that were unique to the NATO forces, there were still people on the deck who frequently waved their arms to the fighters above and cheered loudly.

John Strauss counted the number of fighters still flying in the air in front of him, and the ratio of air combat was 12 to 3, but whose result was the result of the battle just now? It seems that the cannon and missiles of the F14 hit a MiG plane in no particular order, and this F14 can be regarded as a trump card? John looked up at the sky and secretly calculated.

"John, hurry up and help put down the lifeboat. First mate Gray emerged from the cabin and pointed to a few umbrella flowers floating in the sky.

"Is Gray going to save someone? Which sea are we going to go first?" said Johann Strauss, holding his telescope around his neck.

"Don't you need to ask, of course go to the northeast first. ”

The umbrella flowers floating in the northeast sky are obviously very different from the other ones in style and color.

"Hai Dongqing, the flock of birds has lost three young birds, one is headed northeast and missing, the other two have been confirmed to have crashed, and one of the pilots successfully parachuted. ”

Ning Lei's brows furrowed slightly, and he let out a long sigh, no matter how brilliant the victory was, it couldn't hide the heaviness of the sacrifice.

"Birds, Hai Dongqing has received it. ”

Hai Dongqing called the Eagle's Nest and informed the task force to send its best lookout personnel to pay attention to the surrounding airspace, and a seriously injured A7 is very likely to pass through the fleet's air defense circle and pay attention to the rescue. ”

"Eagle's Nest received. ”

Looking at the large steamer with the Swedish flag on the bow below, which was placing a lifeboat on the sea, Ning Lei pressed the joystick in his hand and said, "Dongduo, let's go down and say hello." ”

Johann Strauss was stunned to see the light gray F14 fighter he had just cheered for, whizzing from the stern direction, as if it could already hit the mast of the Hundred-Eyed Giant, and when approaching the stern, the F14 fighter suddenly rolled halfway, like a sharp blade that swept over the sea surface more than 3o meters on the left side of the research ship.

John saw the second pilot in the cockpit of the F14 fighter very clearly, and gave a thumbs up to the direction of the deck.

All kinds of screams suddenly rose from the deck, this action was simply too handsome, and when you scooped up the pilot, you must ask what the name of the pilot flying the F14 was, Johann Strauss thought excitedly as he put the lifeboat away.

"Hai Dongqing calls the birds, and Hai Dongqing calls the birds. After Ning Lei crossed the Hundred-Eyed Giant on the sea, he corrected the fighter and gently pulled it up.

"The flock of birds received. ”

"Twin formations, heading 19o, altitude 6ooo, the following will be our hunting time. Ning Lei's tone was full of lightness.

Note 1: The weapon of the main god Odin in Norse mythology, also known as the eternal spear (gungnir), has been translated as Kungunir, Gunnir, Ganggnir, the ability attribute of the gun is simple and powerful, "once thrown, it will definitely hit the target" is a hundred hundred divine spears, which can penetrate anything it hits.
