Chapter 181: Air Combat

The second part of the assessment is the confrontation of air combat.

Because there were only three people in the second base, one less than the first base, Instructor Zhu joined them as a wingman.

Of course, Instructor Zhu will not play freely, but will fight with King Kong's orders, otherwise, with his skills, I am afraid that one person will be able to wipe out the three-legged cat's Dewey and their group.

But even so, Dewey and they did not dare to underestimate it, and they were about to win a big victory, if they were turned over by King Kong at the last moment, it is estimated that the roar tomorrow night will not ring in King Kong's phone, but Dewey's phone.

Therefore, after returning from the assessment, the four of them locked themselves in the room and deduced the tactics over and over again, and the same scene was also carried out in King Kong's room.

In the last battle, no one wants to lose, let alone lose.

In fact, helicopters mainly attack ground targets, and air battles between them are rare, but not impossible, and most of them occur between two evenly matched armies.

When neither side has absolute air supremacy, the chances of an air battle between helicopters are greatly increased.

As early as the Iran-Iraq war, as a result, there were 56 air battles between Iraq's Russian-made Mi-24 Hind and Iran's American-made AH-1J Cobra.

In addition, in the second part of the movie "First Blood", there are also clips of helicopter air battles.

However, the Qianlong is on a mission outside, and it is impossible to equip a helicopter, and even if there is, it is snatched from the enemy, and the possibility of air combat is extremely high, so this assessment will be specially arranged.

Unlike fighter jets, helicopter air combat capabilities are actually very weak, even if there is an air battle, most of them are mainly cannons, with the advancement of technology, ultra-light air-to-air missiles appeared, so that helicopters have long-range attack capabilities, but even so, still many models are not even equipped with air-to-air missiles.

And even with air-to-air missiles, the performance cannot be compared with that of a fighter.

For example, the well-known longbow Apache AH-64E, which is equipped with a long-range air combat weapon, is the AIM-92 "Stinger" air-to-air missile, with an attack range of 200~8000 meters and a maximum launch height of 4000 meters.

This distance is still within the pilot's visual range, and compared with the air-to-air missiles of fighters that are more than 100 kilometers away, it is simply a child.

But because of this, helicopter air combat is equivalent to hand-to-hand combat, more intense than fighter air combat, just like between fighter jets in World War II.

The choice of tactics is extremely important, and the helicopters participating in the competition are not the same model, but from different countries, and the performance is also different, and will be divided into two groups according to the light and heavy models, and the selection will be drawn by lot.

Dewey: What they have to consider is how to combine different types of helicopters to achieve the best tactical effect.

When the needle reached one o'clock in the middle of the night, Dewey patted the notebook on the table and said, "Okay, let's follow this plan." The next task is to sleep and meet tomorrow's final battle with the fullest spirit! ”

The next day, all the trainees had breakfast and went to the tarmac.

The lone wolf picked up a coin and said, "Now the lottery begins, and you can choose the heads and tails." ”

"I want to be positive." King Kong said first.

"Then I'll do the opposite." Dewey followed.

With a flick of the lone wolf's thumb, the coin spun in the air to its highest point, then spun and fell.

All looked nervously at the coin, and the shepherd clenched his fists and shouted, "Tail, tail!" ”

It doesn't matter if it's heads, no one knows which side of the coin will face up when it falls, but the chosen one will have the right to choose first, which is equivalent to taking the lead, after all, everyone wants to choose the group with the longbow Apache.

At the sound of the shepherd, the coins fell to the ground with a snap.

Hiss!

Everyone gasped, and the coin was coincidentally stuck in the gap of the cement slab on the ground and stood still.

"Lone wolf, you're so awesome, the probability of one in a billion can make you throw it, you really should buy a lottery ticket." The shepherd said with a grin.

The corner of the lone wolf's mouth twitched, obviously not expecting this result. Hearing the shepherd's words, he immediately glared at him fiercely and said, "Give me another shout, the second base will be chosen first!" ”

The shepherd was so frightened that he immediately stretched out his hand to cover it, and he didn't dare to make a sound, but silently read in his heart: "Opposite, negative, must be negative!" ”

The lone wolf tossed the coin again, but fortunately the 1 in a billion probability did not appear again, but under the poisonous milk of the shepherd, it was face up.

The three of King Kong were all overjoyed, and King Kong immediately said, "Let's choose the first group!" ”

The first group is the group where the Longbow Apache is located, and the flagship of the second group is the Russian Mi-28N, known as the Night Hunter, although it is known as the benchmark Longbow Apache, but Russia's backward electronic equipment is destined to be unable to truly compete with the Longbow Apache.

"Xian'er, I'm sorry everyone, my milk is so strong." The shepherd said in frustration.

"It's okay, weapons don't decide anything, it's people who really make the difference." Dewey comforted, but looking at his expression as if he had eaten a fly, he also knew that it was against his will.

"Xian'er makes too much sense, I'm waiting for you to win us again." King Kong sarcastically said beside him.

"Of course, they don't have the longbow Apache, but they have the Longbow Apache, and with the strong firepower of the Mi-28N, they will definitely win." The parrot also said shyly.

Longbow Apa dolphin is the nickname of military fans for the domestic Wuzhi 19.

The "longbow Apa dolphin" mentioned here refers to the Wuzhi-19 helicopter equipped with an overhead millimeter-wave radar, that is, "the top one."

Ball" version of Wuzhi 19.

The reason why the word "dolphin" is used is because the predecessor of the Wuzhi 19, the Z-9 helicopter, is based on the imitation of the French SA-365 helicopter, and the nickname of the original French product is "dolphin".

The U.S. military's "Apache" helicopter gunship was renamed "Longbow Apache" because of the installation of the overhead "Longbow" millimeter-wave radar, so military fans simply put the two descriptions together and put them on this improved Wuzhi-19 helicopter, which did not have any insult or self-deprecation at all.

Although both are equipped with overhead millimeter-wave radars, there is no comparison between the two, because the Wuzhi-19 is a light armed helicopter, and the US military helicopter of the same level should be OH-58 "Kiowa" or AH-1 "Cobra".

Relatively speaking, the domestic Wuzhi 10, as a medium-sized armed helicopter, is a bit reluctant compared to a heavy helicopter like the "Apache".

However, judging from the performance of the two opponents of the same level of the Wuzhi-19, it can be said that the "Longbow Apa Dolphin" does have an advantage, the OH-58 "Kiowa" is mainly reconnaissance and lacks firepower, the "Cobra" is a good weapon and lacks reconnaissance ability, and the "Longbow Apa Dolphin" just has both reconnaissance and firepower specialties, which is very prominent in light armed helicopters.

"You!"

The shepherd was so angry that he rushed forward, but Dewey grabbed him and said, "Okay, let's go, don't be like them." ”

Fei Lian and Leng Mian also persuaded them, and the shepherd glared at King Kong and them angrily, and followed Dewey to board the plane.

It is impossible to use real live ammunition in air combat, so an instructor sits in each helicopter as the referee for this time, and they determine whether the helicopter is shot or not.

Dewey drove the Mi-28N, as the second-place cold noodle, but he drove not the Ka 50 with comparable performance, but the Wuzhi 19 of the longbow Apa Dolphin.

Everyone completed the ground inspection and reported it to Dewey, who asked the tower for instructions: "A team is ready, request to take off." ”

"Take off."

Four helicopters took off and flew towards their intended location, and behind them, the King Kong crew also took off and headed for their destination.

The aerial battlefield is not here, but twenty kilometers away, and the two teams are fifteen kilometers apart, and then attack each other at the same time, and finally decide the winner.

At this moment, Dewey's face no longer had the frustration just now, but was full of high fighting spirit.

"Xian'er, playing the art of war again?"

As a referee, the lone wolf sitting next to Dewey looked at him with a smile.

Dewey smiled embarrassedly and said, "There's no way, I'm afraid I won't be able to win otherwise." ”

"I'm a little disappointed that you're so unconfident." Lone wolf said.

"Of course I have confidence, but it's not wrong to add a little more weight." Dewey replied with a smile.

"It's good to have faith, I'm afraid that if you don't have faith, then you really don't deserve to stay in the hidden dragon. In fact, the type of aircraft is not that important, the base has been well thought out, each group of aircraft is very well equipped, the important thing is whether you can combine their advantages. ”

The lone wolf smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I can't say anything further, it's up to you." But looking at you like this, you should be sure, but don't forget, King Kong and they won't ignore these issues. ”

"I understand. But I'm curious, lone wolf, why are you telling me this, you're the referee. Dewey asked, puzzled.

The lone wolf laughed when he heard this, and said, "The reason is very simple, because I used to be the first base, and I also want you to kill the second base." ”

Dewey smiled dumbly and said, "I didn't expect you to be our old squad leader, Lone Wolf." ”

The old squad leader is the name of the Chinese soldiers for the veterans, although the Qianlong does not belong to the army sequence, but Dewey is not wrong to call it so.

"Well, it's really right for you to call me the old squad leader, I used to be the captain of the fourth team, but I'm afraid there is no one I brought in your team now, oh, no, the stone should still be there. How is he now, it's time to retire, right? Lone Wolf asked.

"Stone, I was injured last year and retired." Dewey replied, his voice a little muffled.

The lone wolf raised his eyebrows and asked, "Injured?" What's going on? ”

Dewey recounted the situation at that time, and the lone wolf couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said: "Fortunately, at least I didn't have a disability." As a hidden dragon, he can be regarded as a good ending like this. ”

"Lone wolf, your legs?"

Everyone had already seen that the lone wolf's leg was injured, and Dewey had long wanted to ask this question.

"It's okay, I was also a little injured, and I was asked to retire at that time, but I didn't agree with it, and I finally came here."

The lone wolf said as if he was talking about someone else's business: "I've been in Qianlong for a long time, and I'm not used to returning to the place, so it's better to continue to stay and exert some residual heat......

While the two were talking, Dewey and them reached their designated position, suspended in the air.

With his eyes, he couldn't see King Kong and them fifteen kilometers away, and he quietly waited for the tower's order.

"Let's go!"

The tower order came, and Dewey immediately took the crew and flew towards the location of King Kong.

"Shepherd, heading 45 degrees, outflanked on the periphery. Cold noodles, flying cheap, straight forward. Dewey ordered.

"Roger, heading 45 degrees."

"Roger, straight ahead."

Dewey and the shepherd's helicopter quickly turned, circled in the air, and outflanked it from the other direction, while Leng Mian and Fei Lian continued to move in a straight line.

In this way, there will only be two helicopters in the face of King Kong, Lengmian and Feilian, and they are both Wuzhi 19

, 2:4, so that they will fall into a greater disadvantage when they are already lagging behind in performance.

However, the lone wolf next to him nodded secretly.

Leng Mian and Fei Lian drove the helicopter on, and the radar was turned on, scanning the front with all their might.

Soon, four bright spots were shown on the radar, none other than King Kong and their four helicopters, and as far as the eye could see, in the blue sky, there was still nothing.

"Xian'er, find the target, ten kilometers away." Leng Mian reported.

"Keep your distance."

"Understood, keep your distance."

And at this moment, nothing is shown on their radar.

This is the advantage of Wuzhi 19, and the only advantage against Longbow Apache.

The Airborne Radar of the Longbow Apache has a scanning range of eight kilometers, a range of 360 degrees, and a scanning period of six seconds. Although the performance is very advanced, there is a generation gap compared with a certain type of millimeter-wave active phased array radar in China.

The "ball" of the Wuzhi-19 has a variety of functions such as search, jamming, and friend or foe identification, and can have the advantage of being the first to detect the AH-64E at a long distance.

It's a pity that the air-to-air missiles equipped with Wuzhi 19 only have an attack range of only 6 kilometers, otherwise they can completely achieve over-the-horizon killing, so that King Kong and they can't react, so they directly declare defeat.

Compared with the two types of missiles, although the data shows that the maximum attack range of the "Stinger" is long, considering that the Wuzhi 19 will have the advantage of being the first to discover, this advantage is not obvious.

If the two sides were within range of the cannons, the advantage of the Apache would be extremely obvious, and the Wuzhi 19 would not be able to penetrate the Apache at all.

The Wuzhi 19 is equipped with a 12.7 mm aviation machine gun pod, regardless of the difference in range, rate of fire, ammunition reserves, etc., what is more terrible is that the AH-64E has extremely strong protection capabilities, and it is difficult to cause fatal damage to 12.7 mm.

Leng Mian and Fei Lian flew backwards, always keeping their distance within ten kilometers, while Dewey and Shepherd flew at ultra-low altitudes in the mountains, hiding their figures in the mountains.

"Why haven't you seen them yet?"

King Kong kept looking at his radar, which was blank and had no targets.

He thought for a moment and said, "Instructor, please go into a low-altitude flight and search the valley for enemy aircraft." ”

"Roger, search for enemy aircraft at low altitude." Instructor Zhu replied.

Instructor Zhu lowered the helicopter and began to search the valley.

Because he was a supporting wingman, he was not flying the longbow Apache, but the French Dolphin, the predecessor of the Wuzhi 9, a light gunship.

At the same time, Dewey gave a new order: "Cold side, approach enemy aircraft, eight kilometers away." ”

"Received, approached enemy aircraft, eight kilometers away."

The cold-faced aircraft flew forward, while Fei Lian remained within 10 kilometers.

Seeing the green dot on the radar, King Kong immediately cheered up and shouted: "Enemy aircraft have been discovered, all ready to fight!" ”

"King Kong, am I returning?" Instructor Zhu asked.

"Keep searching, there is only one target." King Kong replied.

"Understood, continue searching."

Suddenly, the green dot on the radar disappeared, and King Kong immediately shouted: "Target flee, all attack, catch up with him!" The instructor continues to search at low altitudes! ”

The three of them increased the throttle to the maximum and rushed towards the direction where Leng Mian was just now.

At this time, the bullpit reminded: "King Kong, be careful, prevent traps." ”

"I know that as soon as I lock him in, I'll kill him right away." King Kong replied.

The Stinger has a range of 8 kilometers and can be attacked as long as the radar can detect it, but it takes a locked time.

They gave chase, and finally the target reappeared, and King Kong immediately began to lock on.

But because of the radar, Leng Mian already knew in advance, he just entered King Kong's radar range and shook it, and immediately fled without waiting for him to be locked.

"Cunning guy, you can't run away!" King Kong gritted his teeth hatefully, and then asked, "Instructor Zhu, answer, did you find an enemy plane?" ”

However, there was no answer from Instructor Zhu in the headphones, and King Kong immediately realized that something was wrong, and Instructor Zhu was killed.

That's right, Instructor Zhu's dolphin was killed by Dewey.

No matter how good the pilot is, he can't make up for the generation gap between the planes, and the dolphin, which is only equipped with cannons and doesn't even have radar, was locked without even seeing Dewey's face, and was then declared dead, and he didn't have time to report to King Kong.

At this time, King Kong also found that a bright spot appeared on the side, and according to the location, it was the place where Instructor Zhu searched.

"Mi 28n! Damn it! It really sneaked up! ”

King Kong angrily pushed down the accelerator and said, "Parrots, bullfights, you search for enemy planes at low altitudes, and I will continue to pursue." ”

"Roger."

King Kong believed that the only one that came to sneak attack was one helicopter, and as for Dewey's other three planes, they should have set a trap and were waiting for them to get in.

The Parrot and the Bull are heavy and light, and the Stinger missiles carried by his longbow Apache also have the ability to fight one-on-three.

Dewey hid in the mountains, stared at the target on the radar, saw the parrot and the bull outflanking him, and immediately burrowed into the valley.

Parrots and pit bulls also discovered Dewey's Mi-28N!
