Chapter 23 Aerial Artillery Strikes Missiles
"The target altitude is 4300, the speed is 526, the azimuth is 022, it is still accelerating, and it is expected to reach the sky over Tokyo in twenty minutes. Ono Hiroki wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly glanced at Shangguan, who was standing behind him with a blue face.
He still can't figure out how this tsunami-destroyed fighter plane got into the sky.
Less than 10 minutes after the F-2 fighter took off, the air defense system of the entire Honshu island was alarmed, and almost at the same time, more than a dozen radar signals were tracking and detecting the fighter, and radio communications in the air soared.
Chen Xin had already predicted this effect, and said unhurriedly: "Gangyi, immediately collect the electronic spectrum signals of various radar stations in Japan, intercept and record all the communications of their air defense command system, and test the reaction time of their C4ISR command system." (C4ISR is an abbreviation for Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, and Surveillance and Reconnaissance, and this system is the command nerve center of the modern military.) )
The steel hammer waved its wings and quacked and said, "No problem, let's go to Tokyo first." ”
The F-2 let out a shriek and began to accelerate.
In Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, Iruma Air Base, which is responsible for defending the capital, was put into combat readiness for the first time, the AN-MPQ53 radar vehicle was running at full strength, keeping a close eye on the F-2, and the Patriot 3 missile system, which was on combat duty, was erected high and ready to launch at any time.
Four F15J fighters took off urgently, these planes have previously upgraded their radar and avionics systems, and they are equipped with two AAM-5 close-range combat missiles developed by Japan and four AAM-4B medium-range interceptor missiles under their wings, preparing to intercept the daring fighters.
By the time the F15J formed a battle formation in the air, the F-2 was already less than a hundred kilometers away from them, and the airborne radars of both sides intercepted the target almost simultaneously.
For a supersonic fighter traveling in the opposite direction, 100 kilometers is only a matter of minutes.
said: "Lao Dou, four F15s, the other party enters the channel and asks for a call...... Oh, ignore them...... The other side issued a warning, asking us to immediately obey their command and descend to the airfield before they guided the descent into the airfield, otherwise we would attack immediately. ”
The HUD head-up display casts a light and shadow, and the four F15 fighter jets are clearly visible in the display, adding a bit of sci-fi color to the F2 cockpit, which is naturally a masterpiece of steel hammer.
Chen Xin took a deep breath and said a little nervously: "Gangyi, Lao Dou's little life is entrusted to you, don't worry about them, the target is Tokyo, if they attack, you can fight back." ”
"Okay!" The steel hammer was overjoyed, the F-2 let out a strange scream, the F110 engine turned on the afterburner, and the surging power burst out in an instant, and the acceleration pressed Chen Xin tightly on the seat, Chen Xin opened his mouth, and his eardrum was shocked to whine, and the next second, this shijie was completely quiet, and he couldn't hear any engine roar, Chen Xin couldn't help but shout: ", supersonic flight !!"
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Xin suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Steel hammer, don't drive the supersonic speed, it's too fuel-intensive, we still have to go home." ”
The current conventional fighter can only fly at supersonic speed when the afterburner is turned on, and the fuel consumption will soar by 1-2 times, the supersonic flight time is only a few minutes, and the maneuverability is also poor.
An aircraft with supersonic cruise capability means that it can fly at supersonic speeds of more than Mach 1.5 for more than 30 minutes without afterburner, so it can overcome the above shortcomings and greatly improve its combat effectiveness. For example, it can fly to the theater of operations at a faster speed to carry out tasks; it can get rid of enemy planes attacking at high speed; it can extrapolate the interception line so that enemy bombers and attack planes can be intercepted at a greater distance; and it can launch missiles at supersonic speeds to expand the attack zone.
This is also why the United States Weishenme will take supersonic cruise capability as one of the standards for fourth-generation aircraft.
Obviously, the Japanese F-2 fighter is not capable of this.
quacked and said: "Don't worry, old beans, the amount of oil in the machine is completely enough for us." ”
……
In the early hours of the morning, Japanese Defense Minister Toshio Kitagawa was woken up by an emergency phone call at his apartment, and in the past few days, he has not had a good night's sleep in order to coordinate the disaster relief of the Self-Defense Forces.
When the call came, Toshio Kitagawa had just fallen asleep, but as soon as he heard that a fighter jet had defected, he suddenly woke up.
Toshio Kitagawa patiently listened to the secretary report on the information he had collected so far, and couldn't help but slap the table and say in a foul mouth: "Yaga! What's going on at the Matsushima base, didn't you say two days ago that all the fighters were destroyed because of the tsunami? How could there be an F2 taking off from the Matsushima base, let the following report to me after the investigation is clear." ”
"Hey!"
Toshio Kitagawa frowned tightly, as the first defense minister to be re-elected since the Democratic Party of Japan came to power in 09, Toshio Kitagawa is not low in political sensitivity. Something like the defection of a fighter can be big or small, and it would be best if it could be resolved smoothly, but if something goes wrong and the matter becomes bigger, he, the supreme head of the Ministry of Defense, will be the end of it.
At the end of the day, he is just a civilian defense minister, not a high-ranking general with significant influence within the Self-Defense Forces.
Coupled with the poor disaster relief performance of the Kan cabinet since the 311 earthquake, the prestige of the Democratic Party among the people has plummeted, and the ruling position is in jeopardy.
However, when he heard that four F15J fighters had taken off to intercept the Iruma base, and the F2 did not carry heavy weapons such as missiles, Kitagawa Toshio breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this fighter is still under the control of the Air Self-Defense Forces, then everything will have room for maneuver.
……
Yoshihei Takahashi was the squadron leader of the 35th Squadron of the 12th Fighter Wing of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, and he did not expect that after 15 years of joining the Air Self-Defense Force, the enemy he would face in real combat for the first time was actually his own aircraft.
As a pilot with 2,000 flight hours, Yoshihei Takahashi has flown 4 types of aircraft and has a lot of experience.
He served in the 501st Reconnaissance Squadron as a pilot of the RF-4EJKai reconnaissance aircraft, a modification of the F-4 Phantom and entered service in the 70s. Later, he joined the fighter wing, flew F1, F2, and now took over the F15J.
This time in the face of the F-2 fighter he was familiar with, Takahashi Yoshihei looked very relaxed, he was well aware of the F2's air combat capabilities, and intelligence showed that the other side did not carry any missile weapons.
For a modern high-performance fighter, this is no different from stripping naked and going into battle.
"Captain Takahashi, the other party has not reacted, the course has not changed, do you want to attack?" said wingman Saichiro Noda.
Takahashi Yoshihei said: "Warning again! Warning again! I am Takahashi Yoshihei, the leader of the 35th Fighter Squadron, please answer when the F-2 fighter hears it, please answer when you hear it, please change course immediately, follow our guidance and land at Iruma Air Base, otherwise we will attack immediately, repeat, we will attack immediately." ”
The distance between the two sides was less than forty kilometers, and the fire control radar had already locked on to the target.
The other party still did not show any signs of changing course, Takahashi Yoshihei skillfully selected two AAM-4B medium-range air-to-air missiles from the weapon control bar, turned on the power supply, touched the missile launch button with his finger, and said: "Attention to all aircraft, attention to all aircraft, two medium-range bombs, ready." ”
"Understand !!"
"Ready, launch!!"
The F15J fuselage shook slightly, two AAM-4Bs slipped off the missile pylons one after another, the rocket engine started, and under the guidance of the fighter's fire control radar, it flew towards the target at 4 times the speed of sound, and a few seconds later, the missile's active radar seeker was turned on, if nothing else, once intercepted by the AAM-4B's radar seeker, the F2 fighter will be in danger.
At the same time, three other fighters also fired missiles separately.
Eight missiles converged on the F2 fighter jet like arrows from the string.
The F2 fighter's radar warning receiver in the cabin is ringing non-stop, and the trajectory of the eight missiles can be clearly seen on the head-up display HUD.
Chen Xin's heart rose to his throat, and he couldn't help but shout: "Steel hammer, be careful of missiles!"
Gaga Daxiao said: "It's okay, Lao Dou, look at Uncle's ability!"
The F2 fighter did not dodge, but went straight up in the direction of the missile's attack, Chen Xin only felt that the fuselage trembled, the aircraft cannon suddenly sounded, and eight 20mm tracer aviation shells flew forward like lightning meteors.
A few seconds later, within Chen Xin's line of sight, eight dazzling fires suddenly lit up one after another, like a series of brilliant fireworks, which were particularly eye-catching in the night sky at a height of 4,000 meters.
Chen Xin's eyes straightened, swallowed his saliva, and muttered: "Aircraft artillery hits missiles, aviation artillery hits missiles, and it's eight shots and eight hits, your sister's, this kind of legendary thing actually made me yujian." ”
Chen Xin waved his hands excitedly and roared: ", you are too powerful, I love you to death, I wipe it, I want to take a picture of tonight's air battle, I must take a picture!!"
Gangyi was startled, and hurriedly reassured: "Old Dou, calm down, don't stay calm, the big meal hasn't come yet!"
As soon as the missile exploded, Takahashi Yoshihei was ready to celebrate the victory, and in his opinion, it was impossible for the opponent to dodge the attack of eight medium-range bombs.
However, soon, he was stunned, and in the radar display, the light point representing the F-2 fighter was still clearly visible.
"Takahashi Nisa, what's the matter with you, the enemy is about to enter the fighting zone!"
The voice of the ground command post made Takahashi Yoshihei wake up in an instant, and Takahashi Yoshihei hurriedly said: "Pay attention to all machines, pay attention to all machines, enter the fighting mode immediately, Noma Kazusa, I will attack, and you will be responsible for covering." ”
"Understood!"
Yoshihei Takahashi could already see the tail flames spewing from the F2 fighter engines not far away, and once it entered the combat state, the danger was much greater than the previous over-the-horizon air combat, and it was now night, and the difficulty would only be higher.
But what made him strange was that even at such a close distance, the strange F2 still flew in a straight line, ignoring the four F15J fighters in front of it.
Yoshihei Takahashi was overjoyed, and the helmet sight tightly slammed into the F-2 in front of him, and as soon as he locked on, he immediately pressed the launch button of the AAM-5 close-range combat bullet.
The two planes flew in opposite directions, and at such a close distance, it seemed to him that the F-2 would not have been able to evade the attack of the AAM-5.
But in the next second, the smile on his face froze, and the fire of the F-2 fighter on the opposite side flashed, and the AAM-5, which had just left the fuselage to start the engine, exploded instantly.
At the same time, the melee missiles launched by several other planes also burst into sparks.
Faced with such an incomprehensible scene, the pilots of the four F15J fighters were stunned, and the voice of wingman Saichiro Noma sounded in Takahashi Yoshihei's headset: "Oh my God, what did I see! Is this a miracle?"
Takahashi Yoshihei finally understood that the over-the-horizon attack just now would fail, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, this kind of thing about aircraft artillery hitting missiles has always been just a legend, even if it has appeared, it is just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, but like this F2 fighter, there is no bullet missing, is the pilot inside still human?
Even so, the F-2 fighter on the opposite side still did not say anything else, and still rushed towards the fighter formation of the F15J regardless of it.
Yoshihei Takahashi no longer had the courage to attack, and pulled the joystick back, and the F15J roared up the nose of the plane, and xiangshang climbed.
Unexpectedly, the F2, which was originally unresponsive, also raised its nose sharply at this time, as if it was incarnated as an air-to-air missile, and directly aimed at Takahashi Yoshihei's F15J at a high angle of attack, and instantly rolled past the F15J's side.
The red blue tail flame of the F110 engine illuminated Takahashi Yoshihei's pale face, Takahashi Yoshihei was drenched in cold sweat, and he saw with his own eyes that the vertical tail of the fighter plane was just a few centimeters away from his cockpit canopy, and the pilot opposite actually had time to give him a middle finger.
Takahashi Yoshihei didn't care about intercepting the other party, and hurriedly pulled the joystick, adjusted the body and tried to climb high in the air.
The F2 fighter wagged its tail and ignored the four F15s, which were already dumbfounded.
Chen Xin can already see the brilliant lights of Tokyo twenty kilometers away, and without the interception of F15, the largest metropolitan area on Shijie is like a beautiful woman stripped naked, and he is free to pick it up.
However, the Japanese air defense forces were not without reaction, and more than a dozen Patriot 3s flew towards him with a long tail flame.
However, after being continuously blasted with aerial guns by steel hammers, the anti-aircraft missile units also fell silent.
The report of Yoshihei Takahashi was already sent to the commanders of the air defense forces, who also realized the peculiarities of this F2. And so far, the F2 fighters have only defended and have not carried out any counterattack, otherwise with the opponent's ability, the four 15J fighters of the Takahashi squadron will not escape.
Even within the Air Self-Defense Force, there are already high-ranking generals who want to capture alive the pilot of that amazing F2 fighter.
