PS: 5,000 words chapter, I won't be disgusting to split this chapter into two chapters, let's have a good time! I'll be able to finish this episode tomorrow.

They searched for these Vietnamese Navy ships fighting in the waters of Chigua Reef through radar, and through the information fed back by the radar, they could even guess which one was their own 051 frigate, and after discovering these warships, the wingmen flying at high altitude shared information with the long plane that had descended to a low altitude in time.

"Long plane, long plane, this is XXXXX, I have searched for the location of the local naval vessels, there are four large combat ships located two nautical miles southwest of Chigua Reef, and the remaining five ships are off the coast of Chigua Reef, and our 051 frigate is also exchanging fire with enemy ships off the coast of Chigua Reef."

After receiving the voice message from the wingman, the long plane probably already had an idea of the direction of the two navies, but it still didn't feel enough, and it would be nice to be able to share the radar search confidence of the wingman from his own radar display!

There is a need in actual combat, which is helpful for operations, unfortunately the current J-74 is obviously not possible to achieve this function, but it does not mean that it will not be possible to do it in the future, perhaps with an early warning command aircraft, these will be able to do.

Shaking his head and throwing this idea aside, the main task now is to effectively support the 051 frigate that is fighting in the waters of Guajiao Reef, and a low-altitude raid is the best, although he did not bring anti-ship missiles, but he also has his own methods.

"Long plane received, please continue to confuse the enemy's sight at high altitude, I will surprise the enemy warship from a low altitude, and I will surprise them without anti-ship missiles!"

After that, the course was adjusted precisely according to the flight map again, the distance of the last 12 kilometers was calculated, and the height of the plane from the sea surface was lowered again. Hopefully, it will be effective in delaying the time of detection.

Just as the two J-74 plans that arrived first, the wingman swaggered in the air and flew towards the airspace above the warring sides, and in order to safely raise the altitude again to the opposite Kotlin-class destroyer to put out anti-aircraft fire, as an old artillery destroyer, his anti-aircraft fire can only deal with low- and medium-altitude aircraft.

The four Cortlin-class destroyers that pursued the 051 frigate on the sea also searched for this uninvited guest in the sky, and it was obvious that this plane was not friend or foe. The commander of the ship 857 decisively ordered that the high-level dual-purpose run, which was participating in the firing of the 051 frigate, be changed to the anti-aircraft alert mode.

Finally, look at your own car, this is the Soviet Union's improved Kotlin class, equipped with the Goa SA-N-1 anti-aircraft missile is a low-altitude anti-aircraft missile, as long as this aircraft dares to make any move to lower to medium and low altitudes, the anti-aircraft missile can give it a good look.

In this way, the high-level dual-purpose gun with a fast rate of fire was changed to anti-air alert, and the density of firepower invested in the 051 attack was greatly reduced, which was a bit better news. This allowed the 051 frigate to land on the reef in the midst of the fire of the four warships.

When I felt that the warship was in close contact with the reef, although the moment of hitting the reef caused a lot of vibration due to the high-speed navigation, at least it was safe to hit the reef and not sink, and now it was time to start aiming steadily and firing.

At this time, it doesn't matter so much, now our own warships can stop and attack if they are rushing to the beach and running aground, and their accuracy can be greatly improved, and the Vietnamese side will also change from attacking mobile targets to hitting fixed targets.

"The gun emplacements fired freely. Stay safe! ”

As the captain gave the order, the main guns and auxiliary guns of the whole ship began to fire non-stop. They had to shoot all the shells, and when the guns poured on the warships of the Vietnamese Navy, the shells of the Vietnamese Navy also arrived, and there were constant reports of breakdowns and breakdowns.

As an armor-piercing round from frigate 051 pierced the side of the Cortlin class on the opposite side, there was a loud thud, followed by a sudden fire and spread. Presumably, it penetrated the power compartment of this warship.

Seeing that the power of the warship on the opposite side was getting slower and slower, the captain knew that the time had come to seize the opportunity, and began to order all gun positions on the ship.

"Order, all ships gather fire on the enemy ship No. 856, be sure to sink it for me!"

The Vietnamese warship Project 856, which had lost power, was again set on fire. Jing to Jing shot, both sides greeted each other in various ways, although the 051 frigate was attacked more, the superstructure and the building were almost flattened, the side strings were also shot, and even hit the power compartment of the 051 ship.

But fortunately, the 051 frigate has run aground, the power compartment has stopped running, and the fuel consumption has not been much in more than ten days, and the probability of being hit by a bullet and catching fire has been greatly reduced.

No matter how many ways you come, I only go all the way, the whole ship set fire 856 ship finally came to fruition, when a pig main gun hit the opposite ammunition compartment again, everything was over, with a huge explosion, the entire 856 Kotlin-class destroyer was directly blown into two and sunk, and there were not even a few surviving sailors on the whole ship.

This explosion shocked the warring parties, and the entire sea and air were quiet at this moment, and the artillery of both sides stopped

And the first to react was the captain of the 051 frigate, who immediately gave an order when he saw that the 856 ship on the opposite side was detonated.

"The entire ship's sailing personnel gather, distribute and supply all the ammunition in the ammunition depot to the combat units, reduce the probability of large-scale explosions, and must hold on to the end"

At this time, the naval combat ships in the Nan Naval Port began to replenish on a large scale, and the warships patrolling outside also began to rush to Chigua Reef, but the speed of the Navy limited their movements, and to effectively support the current Chigua Reef, we could only look at the naval aviation.

The first batch of eight Jian-74 anti-ship missiles also flew to the first target sea area, where they converged with the first bombardment-6 air tanker that had just arrived, and the two-plane formation that had already been formed began to refuel in the air, and the first batch of two air refueling was completed less than five minutes later, and then they did not wait for the refueling planes behind them, and rushed directly to the airspace of the battle.

Now there is only one air tanker arriving for air refueling, and it will take at least half an hour to wait until all eight are completed for air refueling, and now it is not that long to wait.

Just when the first batch of sea attack formations were refueling in the air, the two combat-ready duty planes that took off at the beginning also ushered in the most critical moment, and the high-altitude wingmen always affected the anti-aircraft fire of several warships on the sea, which created an opportunity for the long-term aircraft of the low-altitude raid.

At this time, the long plane could already see that the ships at sea level were firing and attacking, and black smoke was filling the entire airspace. This is the opportunity to turn on the radar, he has to make a try, although the two Thunderbolt 8s he carries are air-to-air missiles, it does not mean that it cannot be used to attack ships on the sea.

Thunderbolt 8 is infrared-guided, and as long as there is an infrared heat source, it can be locked for attack. Unfortunately, there are also many infrared heat sources for naval ships, not only when artillery fires, but also when the chimneys of warships are fired, they can also be attacked by infrared-guided air-to-air missiles.

Sure enough, the two Thunderbolt missiles under the wing successfully completed the lock, although I don't know where they locked, but now there is no need to care so much, just press the missile launch button.

When two Thunderbolt 8 missiles slipped out of the wings. Even if the entire fighter attack process is completed, according to common sense, it is time to evacuate, but this brave naval aviation pilot still has his own unique skills, and no one can predict the final result of just launching air-to-air missiles, after all, air-to-air missiles have no armor-piercing ability, and if they hit the armor of warships, it seems that they will not play a big role, and it must be like tickling.

And the most important thing is. There are also two guys under his wing, who can also surprise the Vietnamese. At the same time, only he personally flew to the operational airspace to let the officers and men of the 051 frigate in the bitter battle see it. In this way, the 051 frigate can be given hope and show the constant presence of naval aviation!

"Look, I'm going to surprise you!"

Seeing that the two Thunderbolt-8 missiles launched by himself broke through the speed of sound and flew towards the enemy warship, he avoided the missile trail and the engine swallowed smoke, and continued to fly fearlessly.

But how could an airplane outpace an air-to-air missile that flew several Machs. In just a few breaths after the missile was launched, both missiles flew to the Project 857 Cortlin frigate.

The first missile was to identify the chimney that kept releasing the infrared heat source, and flew straight towards the chimney, although the Thunderbolt-8 missile smashed on the chimney did not have armor-piercing ability, but the speed of accelerating to Mach 2.1 gave it great kinetic energy.

In the end, it was steadily attacked from above the chimney with the largest infrared heat source. A thin layer of iron sheet runs through the top of the chimney, and when it passes through the iron sheet, the Thunderbolt 8 trigger fuse activates and explodes inside the chimney.

The other missile was a miracle, and I don't know what was going on, the main guns of the Vietnamese 857 ship aimed their guns at the 051 frigate, but the rear of the weak turret was facing the side where the missile was flying.

In view of his original design, the turret is not fully enclosed, in order to remove the shells and facilitate the entry and exit of personnel, a large hatch is opened at the rear, which can also play a role in ventilation during combat, and can quickly disperse the smoke and high temperature in the turret.

Therefore, the hatch at the rear of the turret was opened throughout the battle, but this gave the Thunderbolt 8 an opportunity, and the turret continued to fire, but the stranded 051 hit several shots, but the high-speed fire made the temperature in the turret very high, which gave the Thunderbolt 8 another target.

After identifying the target, the missile flew towards the wide open hatch. Flowers can get into something, and it's not impossible to get through such a big hatch now.

In this way, the Thunderbolt 8 missile should have drilled into the turret, hit the inside of the turret, triggered the trigger fuse again, and exploded at the same time 2500 steel balls swept all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in the turret, not only the monkeys inside did not live, but there were always one or two of the 2500 steel balls that were lucky, and directly hit the ammunition in the turret at high speed.

This triggered a secondary explosion, although it did not blow up the entire 857 ship, but the entire turret had to be lifted, and the huge explosion blew the turret away, even flying above the height of the mast, and then rubbed the side strings and fell into the water, splashing high.

This is also the luck that has not been too bad, if the turret falls back on the deck of this warship, then hehe

The Jian-74, who flew slower than the missile, watched this amazing scene from behind, and the whole person was stunned, he did not expect that his two Thunderbolt-8 missiles could perform miraculous feats like this.

"Haha, even if I don't bring anti-ship missiles, air-to-air missiles can still make a contribution, and these two missiles are not a loss!"

And the navies of both sides that are fighting are completely dumbfounded. Vietnam's Project 857 destroyer naturally didn't expect that it would be lifted from the Tianling cover, and the chimney didn't seem to be attacked! That's how

The captain of the 051-class destroyer stranded on Chigua Reef held a telescope and swept past the 857 ship that had been lifted from the Tianling cover just now.

"Damn, which gun position hit. This shot is so fucking exciting! As long as he can go back alive, Lao Tzu recommended him to be a gun commander, which is simply too accurate. ”

However, no one answered for a long time, which made people a little confused, didn't someone come early to report the good news when the 856 ship was knocked down just now? Why are they all dumb this time

At this time, the political commissar reminded on the side: "It seems that there is no gun position attacking the enemy 857 ship, they are"

The captain with a disbelieving face replied wordlessly: "Are you saying that it was because the other party operated improperly, or it was blown up?" ”

Just when both the warring sides were wondering, the low-altitude raiding J-74 was also about to make the final blow, calculated the weight of his two auxiliary fuel tanks, and the pilot calmly pulled up a certain height. Waiting to fly over Fleet 857.

At this time, the No. 857 ship finally discovered this flying fighter, and saw two huge cylinders under the wings, which were obviously free-fall bombs! If two bombs of this size could have landed on a level deck with no protection

"There's an air raid, lie down!"

That's right, the captain of the ship 857 actually used the auxiliary fuel tank as a free-fall bomb, can these two things be confused? Although they are indeed quite similar, especially the type of auxiliary fuel tank inherited from the old J-7.

With a strange smile on the corner of the pilot's mouth, he seized the opportunity to decisively press the button and throw away the auxiliary fuel tank. The two "bombs" fell in a graceful arc towards the deck of the No. 857 ship. Although I don't know if I can shoot in the end, the pilot did his best. Everything depends on the will of God, after all, the last time I flew five or six years ago, what if the technology regressed?

With a free smile, he immediately turned on the afterburner and directly prepared to break through the sound barrier at ultra-low altitude to escape, although his own fuel was precious. But in order to save your life, you can't be stingy at this time.

When the afterburner was turned on, the plane naturally broke through the sound barrier and quickly left the battlefield at an ultra-low altitude again, but just now he saw that the 857 destroyer was equipped with an anti-aircraft missile launcher, God knows

And the commander of the ship 857 was lying on the deck because he felt something heavy on the deck, and he thought he was dead. The urine was going to scare out, but I don't know how long it took, a second, ten seconds, a minute

I didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but at this time I was woken up by my deputy, and when I opened my eyes, I found that I was not dead. Then he rejoiced: "What fell was a dud?" ”

With a look on his face that he had survived, he asked his deputy, but no one answered, he just gestured and pointed to the wreckage of the "bomb" on the deck.

At this time, I looked in the direction of my finger, the broken iron sheet, and the flames burning in a small area on the deck, and then I realized that this thing was

If you want to think of one sentence to describe the current activity in your heart, I am afraid that there is only the sentence of the previous person: "I am grass Nima!" ”

"Air defense, anti-aircraft fire for me to knock him down!"

People who are angry are always aware of it, and when he gives the order at this time, the plane has already flown out of sight, who let this guy lie on the ground for too long.

The deputy cautiously explained what happened this time, for fear that the commander would be furious: "I tried to leave this plane behind just now, but this pilot fled with afterburner after dropping the auxiliary fuel tank, and our anti-aircraft fire was all aimed at the plane in the sky, and after reacting, it was already "

In this way, an anti-aircraft combat plane that did not carry anti-ship missiles launched an anti-ship attack, and not only did a miraculous feat, but also successfully escaped.

Speaking of the J-74 fighter that successfully escaped from the air defense fire network, after flying out of the afterburner, it flew to a safe airspace and found that it really didn't have much fuel.

"Base, this is the XXXXX plane, my plane is short of fuel, I request to return and refuel in the air!"

"Received, allowed to return, the air tanker is in the north latitude XX, east diameter XX, I wish you a safe return."

A nice small radius turn, bypassing the anti-aircraft fire network of the airspace of the engagement, began to return home, and within flying two hundred kilometers it was possible to search for the real first attack formations, although there were only two, but as an informed person knew what these two planes meant.

Connected to the radio channel: "xxxxx, xxxxx, I wish you a victorious start, if you see a broken warship without a heavenly spirit cover, remember that is my victory just now, and say hello to them for me!" ”

Suddenly hearing such a sentence, it was still unclear about the two attack formations, could it be that this guy did something just now

But nothing, a confident reply came over the radio: "Don't worry, none of them can escape!" (To be continued.) )
