Chapter 663: An Opponent Who Has Never Been Ignored
Gaoxin-P approached cautiously, afraid of waking up the enemy in his dream, Gaoxin-P just wanted to gently mess with the enemy, don't worry......
The more than 70-ton Gaoxin-P approached the main island of the Overlord Islands at a speed of more than 370 kilometers per hour at a speed of more than 8 meters from the sea surface, and the frequent swelling waves seemed to be under the wing, and the wingspan of the aircraft reached 38 meters.
In other words, if the tilt angle of the aircraft is slightly deviated, the wingtips will rub into the waves more than three meters high or even plunge into the seawater, and the pilot must not have the left and right tilt angles of the aircraft not more than a very small angle.
Li Zhan focused most of his attention on flying, and left other aspects to Guo Beimu. In order to achieve absolute concealment, the high-tech-P is in a state of radio silence, that is, it only receives and does not send.
Ordnance engineer Yang Shuwen and avionics engineer Wang Fei are busier than people think. The high-tech-P uses a large number of new airborne weapons and avionics technology, and is basically still in the stage of combat testing, which needs to be closely monitored and ready to deal with unexpected problems at any time.
Especially for Yang Shuwen, he must ensure the normal operation of internal and external weapon systems, which is the top priority of the operation. The avionics system and the weapon system are closely related, so Wang Fei communicates with Yang Shuwen in a low voice from time to time to ensure the normal operation of the entire large system.
The distance was rapidly approaching, and the Tiger detachment was under no less pressure than Li Zhan.
In order to ensure the success rate of infiltration, Gaoxin-P chose ultra-low-altitude diving, which means that they have to parachute at ultra-low altitudes, and they have to paraglide. Low-altitude skydiving at sea at night is one of the most dangerous and difficult of all skydiving subjects.
Tiger detachments rarely infiltrate using such methods. The principle of special operations is simple and straightforward, and those long-winded and flashy battle plans are usually found in tactical class assignments.
And the weather conditions were not good at this time, which was a big challenge for the Tiger detachment that had to use paragliding.
However, the Tiger detachment is a battle-hardened unit, and operations behind enemy lines are commonplace for them, and they are responsible for the targets that the local armed police and special police cannot handle, so although the task is difficult, they are still full of confidence and very relaxed.
At this time, in the crew compartment, the thirteen members of the Tiger Detachment either closed their eyes and rested their minds, or steadily sorted out their weapons and ammunition, or checked the equipment and equipment, or took small bites of high-energy chocolate, without the slightest tension before the battle.
Yuan Boning hugged his arms and closed his eyes to recuperate, but in his mind, he was repeatedly familiar with the battlefield environment, the enemy's deployment, and the battle plan. He was wearing headphones, and the commands from the cockpit could go directly here, and there were multiple indicators on the bulkhead on his side, and when the red light came on, it meant that they were ready to skydive, and the green light came on to start the skydive.
The ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming penetration of the high-tech P-P is very successful, and the poor weather has invisibly increased the difficulty of the enemy's sea-side warning radar. Moreover, the high-tech-P also has a killer feature - the use of virtual signals to simulate enemy targets, although it can only last five minutes, it is enough for the Tiger detachment.
Of course, it's best not to use a killer feature as much as possible.
The AWACS aircraft 200 kilometers away constantly sends location information to Gaoxin-P, and Li Zhan can know the distance between it and the main island of the Overlord Islands and the real-time location of the unit in time. Implementing infinite silence means that the radar is also unusable, so the pilot has neither the location of the target nor his own exact location. Of course, the approximate location is well known, and it is easy to make approximate data by using time and speed calculations to fly according to the planned route on the chart, but this is not accurate enough.
The guidance of AWACS aircraft is very important. This is the reason why AWACS aircraft are regarded as multipliers of combat effectiveness.
8:25 p.m.
Li Zhan finally gave the Tiger detachment an order: "Prepare in five minutes!" ”
The high-tech-P has approached a position of fifteen kilometers and is already able to see the lights on the island, if there are lights on the island.
The Flying Shark team sped up, and they wanted to provide cover for the high-tech -P personnel while they were dropping them. At this time, regardless of whether the purpose of the operation will be exposed, everything is aimed at ensuring the smooth airdrop.
The four F-15Js thought that the Flying Shark team had begun to attack them, and hurriedly met them. An air battle broke out not far from the head of Gaoxin-P, with the two sides firing medium-range air-to-air missiles at each other and then evading each other, which is quite a bit of a civilized war.
The Flying Shark Squad is definitely the brightest star in the night sky, and they have no scruples to display superb flying skills, and the fire control radar shines everywhere as they fly up and down, beating the medium-range bombs to the fullest. However, their opponents' movements are slightly dogmatic, with more than enough standards and lack of flexibility, and they are quite difficult to deal with.
Li Zhan climbed to a sea height of 300 meters, and after level flight, he pressed the indicator light to prepare for parachuting and opened the tail side hatch at the same time. Yuan Boning jumped down without the slightest hesitation, and the rest of the team members followed, standing on the side door of the side hatch was Li Yunxiao, a cameo parachutman.
The high-tech -P was exposed in front of the enemy's radar, but at this time the engagement in the air was in full swing, and it took time to identify the target. Although it was only a few minutes, it was enough for the high-tech-P. Li Zhan didn't even wait for the side hatch to close, then turned around at a large angle and accelerated away.
When the island's air defense system reacted and entered, the Gaoxin-P had once again descended to the altitude of the bottom-skimming sea, and the radar tracking signal was once again interrupted in the increasingly bad weather.
Accelerating to reach fifty kilometers, Li Zhan climbed back and turned the nose of the plane, breaking the radio silence at the same time.
Each member of the Tiger detachment is equipped with a GPS locator, and the high-tech-P can monitor their specific location in real time. Li Zhan has a portable tablet in his hand, and he can also check the situation of the Tiger detachment. This facilitates the exchange of various information with the Tiger detachment.
Thirteen small red dots of the representative and the tiger detachment flashed slowly towards the main island, if the shiny red dot turned into a solid yellow dot, it meant that the team members were in distress, and there would be an SOS mark on the side, if it went out, it meant that the team members died.
Yuan Boning's infiltration was much smoother than expected, and they found that the ground defenses on the island were very weak. When they landed on a relatively flat open ground at night, they found an anti-aircraft position in the woods less than 200 meters away, but there was no patrol to ensure its safety.
Important air defense positions will even put the cordon a kilometer or two away.
It can be judged that the Western Pacific pirates believe that no one will be able to threaten the security of one of the nests of the Overlord Islands, and it is enough to have a relatively complete air defense network. In fact, satellite reconnaissance proves this, but satellite reconnaissance cannot detect the enemy hidden in caves or underground fortifications.
It stands to reason that the Overlord Islands are an important nest of the Western Pacific pirates in the southwest Pacific, and there should be no shortage of garrison forces.
Maybe on Island A?
Yuan Boning had no way to judge for the time being, quickly cleaned up the landing site, marked the landing site at the same time, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness with the team members. Their first target is the radar station, then the aircraft bunker, and the others are placed last.
The destruction of the radar station on the island is the most critical, without which the island's air defense network will be without eyes, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. This is also a prerequisite for the high-tech -P air attack - the high-tech -P cannot brave the fierce anti-aircraft fire into the air.
The runway of the main island airfield has been destroyed, and it is impossible for the enemy's fighters to play a role until the runway is repaired, and now only the ground air defense positions are left to affect the high-tech-P.
The Tiger detachment bypassed the nearest air defense positions and followed the clues in search of radar stations. They are looking for mobile radar stations hidden in the woods, which are the most threatening to change positions at any time and disguise their antennas as trees, and can even evade anti-radiation missile attacks by turning them on and off from time to time.
As for the stationary radar station deployed on the hill, at this time Li Zhan began to pack up.
After entering the target designation parameters, Li Zhan climbed to the launch altitude and launched a 500-kilogram LS-6 rocket-boosted precision-guided bomb. Because the launch altitude is not as good as that of the J-15, the maximum range of the same LS-6 launched by the Gaoxin-P is only 80 kilometers, which is obviously completely sufficient.
The radar station at the highest point of the Overlord Island is an early warning radar, which is the radar station that can see the farthest in the Overlord Islands, but it does not have a fire control function. After destroying this radar station, your own fighters can compress the combat range to within thirty kilometers of the Overlord Islands, and basically press the opponent's front and open fire.
The high-tech-P attack early warning radar station, and the Tiger detachment reconnaissance mobile fire control radar, poked at a pair of eyes of the enemy troops on the blind island in both directions.
Li Zhan raised the nose slightly to keep the plane climbing at a fifteen-degree elevation angle, and then launched a 500-kilogram LS-6 rocket-boosted precision-guided bomb. The bomb first fell, and then the booster rocket ignited and pushed the bomb to accelerate the flight, and after a certain speed, the rocket booster fell off, the retractable wings on the bomb body expanded, and the bomb entered the gliding phase and continued to approach the target.
After entering the attack phase, the bomb entered the dive phase, the main wing fell off, and under the stabilization of the tail fin, the bomb rushed to the target at a dive angle of more than seventy degrees.
The LS-6 warhead penetrated the radome but exploded after hitting the radar base, and in the huge explosion, most of the early warning radar station was blown up, and in the night, in the billowing smoke, the farthest eyes of the Overlord Islands were blind.
At this time, the Flying Shark team began to show results.
Although there is an airfield on Island A, the airfield on Island A cannot guarantee the operation of F-15J fighters, and the diversion at the airfield on Island A is equivalent to losing the combat effectiveness of four F-15Js. Moreover, they believe that since the other side has hit the airfield on the main island, it will naturally strike at the airfield on Island A, and if there is no continuous attack, I am afraid that it will wait for their four F-15Js to land.
At least that's what the command headquarters deployed on Island A thinks, and at this time, Tojo Kazuki, who was working underground under the tower on Island A, deeply felt the difference in strength between them. He knew very well that the other side had only dispatched a part of the forces of a fleet, but it had already made his own side almost powerless.
You must know that the pirate armament based in the Overlord Islands is more than half of the strength of the pirates in the Western Pacific.
F-15J pilots, whose mentality was affected by the bad news, were soon taught a lesson from the socialist air-to-air missile. Han Hongjun ventured into the enemy line and put an F-15J into the inescapable zone of the PL-9, and used only one combat bullet to blow the opponent into a volley explosion, and then dived and fled under the frantic siege of the rest of the enemy planes, driving the movements of the enemy planes in the process, creating opportunities for Yang Fan, who was covering his attack.
Yang Fan seized the opportunity to shoot down a second F-15J.
At this time, the two remaining F-15Js saw that the situation was not good, and fled frantically, and Dai Wenming and Gu Mingmu, who had been preparing for a long time, turned on the afterburner to catch up and used the PL-12 medium-range air-to-air missile. To ensure a hit, they both fired two PL-12 medium-range air-to-air missiles at their respective targets.
The highly-anticipated second-generation over-the-horizon (medium-range) air-to-air missile once again verified its combat capabilities, with the PL-12 using active radar guidance with a maximum range of 70 km, a maximum overload of 38 G, and a maximum speed of Mach 4, which is quite advanced.
The two F-15Js that were pursued by the PL-12 were very miserable, they were all hit, and the second PL-12 almost hit the wreckage, and one of the pilots did not even have a chance to parachute. The other pilot managed to parachute, but the debris from the explosion of the second PL-12 broke through the parachute, and the pilot quickly fell to the surface of the sea, and then slapped heavily on the surface of the sea and was seriously injured, and died after suffering for more than an hour, which can be said to be the worst.
All four F-15Js were shot down, and the main island airfield lost the ability to dispatch fighters, and there were four F-2 fighters on the airfield of Island A, and Tojo Kazuki dispatched these four F-2 fighters after a little consideration. He committed a great taboo in the army, lost the good situation that could have formed a superiority in troops, and turned it into a tactic of adding fuel to the army.
But no one thought that those F-16 imitation F-2 fighters would actually bring a lot of trouble to the Flying Shark team.
The F-2, also known as the "Heisei Zero Battle", has a unit price of up to $180 million, making it the most expensive fighter in the world, and $30 million more expensive than the F-22A. The unit price of its imitation F-16 is only 30 or 40 million US dollars, and even if it is sold to local tyrants, it does not exceed 50 million US dollars.
The strength of this fighter should not be underestimated, it is the first fighter in the world to use an airborne phased array radar, and it is a more advanced active. It took five years of its service before the F-22A officially entered service. The air combat capability of the early models was mediocre, but after the replacement with more advanced avionics systems and modified radars, the air combat capabilities were greatly provided.
Crucially, this fighter inherits the excellent maneuverability of the F-16.
All the pilots of the Flying Shark squad have never neglected the F-2, and to be precise, the commanders and fighters of the People's Navy Aviation have never despised the F-2 fighters. But most people believe that the F-2 fighter, no matter how advanced, will not be more advanced than the F-15J.
This is the result of the lack of confrontation.
It is a fact that many people are unaware of the fact that the pilots who flew the F-2 fighters were the best pilots in the Western Pacific Corsair Corps, and had more experience than the F-15J pilots.
