Chapter 666: The Essence of Traditional Craftsmanship
The aircraft carrier USS Jossington, which had made a brief stop to resupply at Kaidao, and its six frigates, two Spu-class missile cruisers and three Burke-class missile destroyers, as well as a Roasel-class attack nuclear submarine.
After receiving the order, they marched westward at full speed, and three hours later, they dispatched three groups of six Super Hornet carrier-based fighters to extend westward reconnaissance.
Fighting piracy is the natural mission of all countries in the world, and it is inappropriate to simulate whether it is inappropriate for the Blue Army troops to run over and confront the Red Army troops at this time. However, they believed that this would serve a better role in sharpening the Red Army troops, so they basically made their purpose clear.
Anyway, the simulated Blue Army troops like to use some indiscriminate methods, and the Red Army troops have long been used to it. There were many times when the navy and air force units were engaged in confrontation with brother troops, and the simulated blue army troops suddenly intervened, which really made everyone a little scrambling.
The USS Joshton aircraft carrier battle group was moving westward at full speed, reaching speeds of thirty knots per hour. With the narrowing of the distance between the aircraft and the Overlord Islands, the time for carrier-based fighters taking off from the Jossington will continue to be extended, and with the strength of more than 40 carrier-based fighters and carrier-based attack planes in Jossington, the air supremacy of the Overlord Islands is in danger of changing hands.
The front commander immediately asked for instructions and reports, and quickly adjusted the operational arrangements, mainly to increase the number of troops. The two divisions of the Air Force stationed in the southeast received orders and were ready to take to the air at any time, and the remaining ships of the Second Fleet quickly moved closer to the operational sea area, first forming a suppressive state on the periphery.
Although it is a simulated confrontation with the simulated blue army troops, the number of troops that should be dispatched is not at all, but because there will be no contact confrontation, more troops need to be dispatched to form a deterrent. In fact, simulating the Blue Army's troops is tantamount to helping the Western Pacific Pirates contain the forces on Li Zhan's side, which is obviously not a good idea.
The Tiger detachment sent the target parameters, and they successfully found a row of half-buried aircraft forts, there were actually as many as eight, judging by the security situation, there must be planes inside. Yuan Boning really determined the target and reported the parameters, and immediately moved to the dock. The plan is to use the ships of the pier to infiltrate Island A, and I am afraid that close fire support from Gaoxin-P will be required.
Li Zhan quickly entered the attack route, locked on to the target, and launched all the external bombs except for the aerial fire. In addition to the 500-kilogram bomb, it is difficult for other bombs to destroy the half-buried permanent fort, so when setting the aiming point, Li Zhan deliberately chose the location of the entrance of the fort, even if the fort cannot be destroyed, the fighter can be trapped in it or cause damage to it, and the purpose of destroying the enemy's air power can also be achieved.
Temporarily handing over the control of the plane to Guo Beimu, Li Zhan turned around and monitored the attack of the ammunition with the armorer Yang Shuwen. At the same time, preparations were made for aerial bombardment, and 105 mm guns were able to cause damage to semi-buried forts.
The light head of the nose can provide good visibility and visibility at night, and the LS-6 rocket-boosted precision-guided bomb goes straight to the target at a very fast speed, and will enter a vertical dive state when it reaches the target, increasing the flight speed is also increasing the kinetic energy, and the top of the target is attacked, and the effect is very good.
There are a lot of anti-aircraft guns and some short-range anti-aircraft missiles deployed around the half-buried bunker, which can rely on its own fire control system to strike at targets. In order to ensure safety, the high-tech - P and the target have always maintained a distance of twenty kilometers, and after firing the ammunition, the altitude is slightly reduced, those anti-aircraft artillery and short-range anti-aircraft missiles do not work for the time being, the problem is that they are nervous and are shooting blindly.
This made Li Zhan overjoyed—he didn't know where you were.
He quickly energized the aerial fire launcher, and at the same time, with the cooperation of Yang Shuwen, marked all the exposed ground anti-aircraft fire.
"Old battalion commander! You continue to steer the plane! The nose is aligned with the fort! I'm in charge of the aerial fire targeting attack! Li Zhan said quickly.
Guo Beimu said, "No problem! ”
The high-tech P-turned a corner and flew back at full throttle, still maintaining a relatively low altitude. The high-tech-P mounted aerial fire launcher pylons can be moved up and down, left and right at a certain angle, so even if the aircraft keeps the nose still, the shooter can still control the mobile pylons to aim at the target.
The LS-6 ammunition hit the target one after another, and a thick line of fire suddenly exploded in the middle of the anti-aircraft fire arch, which was the fire that burst out after the ammunition hit the fort. At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by the bombed aircraft fort, and Li Zhan seized this rare opportunity.
Guo Beimu's cooperation was very tacit, he suddenly climbed the altitude and then pressed the head of the plane to roughly aim at the direction of the fort, at this time Li Zhan quickly locked on the air defense position with the brightest fire, and decisively pressed the launch button. Two 90-millimeter launchers spat rockets and fired a straight fire dragon at night, shooting straight at the air defense position.
The anti-aircraft position, which had four double-barreled anti-aircraft guns, could not react at all, and under the bombardment of more than a dozen aerial fires, the men overturned on their backs. The double-barreled anti-aircraft guns in the frenzied fire suddenly became dumb.
Li Zhan quickly adjusted his aiming point and continued to attack other air defense positions, and the aerial fire continued to hit out, and the high-tech -P was like an aerial monster that could stick out its tongue, constantly harvesting the lives of ground targets with deadly weapons and ammunition.
In just a dozen seconds, Li Zhan knocked out all the aviation fires, and all of them hit the target, which impressed Guo Beimu. He knew that Li Zhan's skills in flying the plane were superb, but he had never seen Li Zhan fight so well.
You must know that there are several air defense positions scattered around the fort, and the high-tech -P is diving at a small angle from a position of ten kilometers, which means that Li Zhan fired at a distance of at least seven or eight kilometers, and such a long distance can actually hit such a hit rate, which can be called an air sniper.
"Breakaway!" Li Zhan ended his attack and shouted.
Guo Beimu suddenly pulled the rod and pedaled the rudder, and the high-tech-P climbed and turned to the right at a large angle, and soon disappeared from the sight of the remaining enemy on the ground.
The results of the battle were far greater than Li Zhan imagined.
First of all, all eight half-buried bunkers were destroyed, three of them collapsed, the fighters and maintenance personnel inside were buried, and the other five bunkers were damaged to varying degrees, and the fighters inside were definitely not saved.
The most coincidental thing is that those fighters are all mounted with live ammunition and ready to be dispatched at any time, and they have to hide in the bunker after the runway is destroyed. Under the bombing, the ammunition mounted on the fighter plane exploded, and the entire fighter plane was torn apart, and there was no value in even picking up spare parts to use as aviation materials.
What made the West Pacific pirates hurt was that when Li Zhan attacked those air defense positions, the largest position with four double-barreled anti-aircraft guns happened to usher in the commander of the garrison on the main island, and he came with two short-range anti-aircraft missile launchers and related ammunition that had not yet had time to deploy.
Under Li Zhan's aerial fire, those munitions were killed, and then the entire position was almost razed, and the commander of the garrison on the main island and his staff team were all killed. In other words, at this time, the main island is already a group of insects without a head.
Statistics from the aftermath showed that the aerial attack on this major air defense position alone brought huge losses to the West Pacific pirates in more than 30 killed, wounded more than 70 people, and lost four double-barreled antiaircraft guns, two short-range anti-aircraft missile launchers, and related support vehicles.
And the price paid by the high-tech -P is only a few dozen fires.
Fighting aviation rockets, as a traditional craft of our army's aviation units, has been played to the extreme here by Li Zhan, and dozens of extremely low-priced aviation fires have actually obtained combat results that are difficult to achieve by many air-to-ground missiles and precision-guided munitions, and this is undoubtedly the highest level in the aviation firefighting industry.
Up to now, all Li Zhan can control is the 730 gun in the nose, and there are only more than 200 rounds of ammunition left, and he can also fire two short shots if he saves it, which makes Li Zhan, a dignified super ace combat pilot, feel unsatisfied.
The high-tech -P does not have an external auxiliary fuel tank.
Yuan Boning suddenly reported: "High-tech bar P, our department has been transferred to Island A, and the dock can be destroyed!" Complete! ”
"Gao Xin Gong P received, Tiger, you have to speed up! Complete! Li Zhan reminded Yuan Boning.
"Understood!"
Guo Beimu frowned and said, "When the main island was violently attacked, the garrison on Island A did not move, and it seems that Tojo Kazuki is very calm. ”
Originally, it was thought that after the main island was attacked, the garrison on Island A would rush to the aid of the main island, but the distance between the two islands was only a dozen nautical miles, and the reinforcements came to last for half an hour. However, the garrison on Island A did not move at all, and the purpose of mobilizing the enemy's forces on Island A was defeated.
Li Zhan had thought about this problem, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I think he is afraid of death, but then we can at least be sure that Tojo Kazuki is definitely still on Island A." It's just that the Tiger detachment is probably going to be under more pressure. ”
Guo Beimu returned the control of the plane to Li Zhan, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the situation of the Tiger detachment is even more tense, and the appearance of the simulated blue army unit has put a lot of pressure on the front finger, and we don't have two hours left." ”
At this time, more than forty minutes have passed since the start of the operation, and although the former commander did not explicitly request the completion of the arrest task in advance, everyone felt the pressure.
"I have to get closer and try to give the Tiger detachment more timely support." Li Zhan said as he turned the nose of the plane closer to Island A, and began to fly counterclockwise to Island A, and the muzzles of all the guns in the weapons compartment were aimed at Island A, which was much smaller in area.
An uphill battle is imminent.
