Chapter 213: "West-2010" (3)
September 18, the anniversary of national humiliation, is also the joint live-fire training day of the Wang Brigade and the participating troops of the 28th Division.
It is impossible to watch others fight, and Li Zhan can't wait to fight every day. The ammunition has been lent out, and it is impossible not to come with a few rounds myself. But then again, Chen Jialiang was able to pluck a few hairs from a super invincible iron rooster like Li Zhan, not because he was special, but because the 28th Division had "collateral".
Half of the aviation fuel in the oil depot at the North Depot Station belonged to them, and if Chen Jialiang dared not return the ammunition, Li Zhan would be 100 percent afraid to deduct his aviation fuel.
The H-6 oil tiger is really terrifying, and in the case of a two-hour sortie, twenty tons of aviation fuel will be gone. Therefore, everyone in the fighter division unit knows that the bomber division is a big dog, rich, and generous. It is said that the cost of raising one bomber division is worth two third-generation fighter pilots.
Bombers are not something that ordinary small families can afford, and if you look at the world, except for China, the United States and Russia, other countries are far away, and your military spending is not enough to fly a few laps a year. The other two of the five constants, Britain and France, have money, but they still don't dare to play bombers.
Don't look at the H-6 as old-fashioned, no one dares to ask for this thing even if you give it away, and you can't afford it.
Let's just say that Chen Jialiang wants to shoot live ammunition, and before the exercise begins, he will have a round of activities to move his body, and he will not be able to carry it at all if he is not less than 10 million.
Li Zhan's heart is also unbalanced because of this, they sabotage the Wang Brigade is considered rich, and they have also engaged in live ammunition shooting several times this year, hitting rockets and artillery, hundreds of thousands at a time, hundreds of thousands at a time, all of which have aroused jealousy.
But compared with the 28th Division, you will be poor and happy.
When people open their mouths and close their mouths, they are air-to-ground missiles, and they are too lazy to drop the aerial bombs. The more powerful air-to-ground missiles are more expensive than the J-7, and in the eyes of others, they are like aircraft guns, and they are not distressed at all.
However, after all, the 28th Division is hung with the word "strategic," and it is certain that there is a tilt in funding.
In order to balance himself psychologically, Li Zhan also had to fight air-to-surface missiles, using the Su-27, which was the same model as the H-6K. He wants to fight two, he will fight one himself, and he will transfer Nie Jianfeng to fight one as well. However, when the report was printed, only one was approved by the superiors, and the approval was a model imported ten years ago, the Russian-made Kh-31P anti-radiation missile.
When Li Zhan saw this model, the whole person was not good, this thing has been put on for more than ten years, and it is still necessary to say whether it can be started or not, and it is too picky! If you don't want to give me an improved model! Li Zhan knew that not long after the purchase of this anti-radiation missile, several hundred of them had been improved and replaced with a domestically produced seeker with better performance.
But the one that was given to him was original.
Originality equals backwardness.
The air-to-surface missiles he lent to the 28th Division were all new domestically produced, and their performance was not known to be much more advanced than that of the Kh-31P, and they were comfortable to fight.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, all eight H-6K planes took off, and except for those carrying air-to-ground missiles, all the rest filled the inner bomb compartment with ordinary aerial bombs. The shooting range in the depths of the desert has long been prepared, and that no-man's land has always been a shooting range for the troops.
Chen Jialiang was also a bold man, and the large formation used the Beiku Mountains as a cover to break through the defense, and then turned south to break through 300 kilometers, then turned to the west, and then launched missiles from a high altitude. Fifteen minutes after hitting the target with an air-to-ground missile with a range of 300 km, the H-6K carrying the bomb will take to the air and carpet bomb the target area with tons of ordinary aerial bombs.
Such a live-fire shooting will make your blood boil just by looking at the plan.
Li Zhan's eight Su-27SKs and four Su-27UBKs on Li Zhan's side, except for Li Zhan's No. 01 fighter plane, which carried KH-31P anti-radiation missiles and aviation rockets, the other fighters all had the old traditional and old skills - fighting aviation fire.
On the north side of Lake Ulun Lake, the ground support detachment deployed targets that simulated radar and continuously sent out radar detection beams, so that the KH-31P anti-radiation missile in Li Zhan's hand could fully play its role. After the anti-radiation missiles were fired, Li Zhan wanted to join forces with other fighters to cross the entire desert by means of ultra-low-altitude penetration, and carry out air-to-air firepower strikes after the bomber units had finished their strikes.
The coordination of the two air strike detachments is an air strike operation that includes supplementary strikes, and it is no longer a live-fire training in the ordinary sense, but more like a coordinated strike drill operation.
The advantage of holding the big project of the air division is that the application for live firing will be approved in a very short time. The live-fire training in which more than a dozen fighters are involved at every turn is by no means something that a regiment can decide, and even firing an aerial bomb must be approved by the division and put on record in the military region, let alone a large-scale operation that uses more than 10 tons of ammunition.
Lan Zhi commanded this live firing, and the North Kuta Station assisted in the command, and the specifications went up at once.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, four H-6K planes launched four air-to-surface missiles at a frequency of five minutes, and then the four H-6Ks and four other planes accelerated their speed and maintained their course for 15 minutes to arrive over the target area.
At this time, all four air-to-surface missiles had accurately hit the target, and the smoke of gunfire had not cleared from the location where they were hit. The fleet carried out carpet bombing in the air, and a full 12-ton ordinary aerial bomb was dropped like a chicken-6K, and the classic carpet bombing method of World War II was reproduced.
The scene of flying sand and rocks and billowing smoke and dust rising into the air fully reflects the power of bombers, and more fully proves that in today's multi-role fighter planes, professional bombers still play an irreplaceable role and are still the most backbone bombing force of the Air Force.
Li Zhan didn't have the opportunity to witness the great scene of a landslide and a ground crack, and he couldn't even see the H-6 fleet. Chen Jialiang and they went west, and he took eleven fighters to the south. Li Zhan is now actually playing the role of kicking the door, using anti-radiation missiles to knock out the enemy's eyes and open the way for the follow-up strike group.
This is not the first time Li Zhan has fired an air-to-surface missile, but it is the first time he has used a fighter jet to hit an air-to-surface missile. The J-7E can't hit air-to-ground missiles, and theoretically can hit air-to-air missiles, such as the Thunderbolt, but he used the J-7E to fly for so many hours for a thousand hours, and the engines were scrapped three, but they were all aerial guns, and the air-target shooting was only the time when he was in the Second Division.
Even if the J-7E handed over by the second division was changed to the J-7EG, in fact, some capabilities are only theoretical, to be precise, the troops have never thought of using the J-7 series to use air-to-air missiles against the enemy - you have to see the target must break through within 30 kilometers, which is very difficult to do. Instead of using your own weaknesses to fight with others' strengths, it is better to use your own strengths to fight with them, even if it is strengths against strengths.
So Li Zhan is also the first time that the eldest girl has been on a sedan chair.
The KH-31P anti-radiation missile is capable of striking not only ground-based radar targets, but also large radar targets in the air, such as AWACS aircraft. However, whether it is the Su-27 or the Su-30, including the J-8, the domestic model YJ-91 using the Kh-31, it must be mounted at the same time with an electronic pod to guide the missile to attack. Airborne radars are usually ineffective.
This type of missile was developed for the "Patriot" theater missile air defense system, so it is very targeted, and there is no problem in dealing with large radar targets, especially the target characteristics of the large radars of NATO countries headed by the "Patriot" system, but it is blind to small ground radar targets.
Li Zhan's No. 01 fighter was also equipped with an electronic pod, and the problem was how to counterbalance. The KH-31P weighed 06 tons, and the electronic pod was only a few hundred catties, so in order to maintain the balance of the load, Li Zhan had to mount a training bomb on the other wing.
As a result, the maneuverability of the fighter was greatly affected.
Therefore, Li Zhan flew in an orderly manner along the way, paying special attention to the state of the missile, otherwise if he was careful to turn on the power and explode himself, the warhead of up to 100 kilograms would tear him and his No. 01 fighter into squid wires.
"Lan Zhi, Dong Qi called, I'm ready to enter the attack program, over." After Li Zhan confirmed that he had reached the attack point, he called Lan Zhi.
"Hole, you can enter the attack program, lock on to the target and report again, over." Lan Zhi had been waiting for Li Zhan's news, and his reply was very fast.
"Dong Mi understands, open the pod, and search for the target signal." Li Zhan reported while operating.
Eighty kilometers ahead of him, there was only one place where a strong radar signal was emitting, and the electronic pod easily locked onto the target, quickly forming target parameters. Li Zhan energized the missile, loaded the target parameters, the missile seeker began to work, repeatedly proofread the target parameters, the indicator light turned from red to green, and Li Zhan decisively pressed the launch button.
The KH-31P anti-radiation missile, which had been in service for 12 years, broke away from the pylon, and the fighter suddenly lightened, and then Li Zhan saw a tongue of fire flying out in the direction of the nose, and the long tail flame was clearly visible in broad daylight.
The fighter plane rolled without any suspense, and Li Zhan pressed the height of the pole to confirm that it was indeed over no man's land, and then threw the training bomb down......
The fighter regained its balance, he pulled up the altitude and turned westward, and the group of planes more than ten kilometers behind followed the steering at the same time to rush to the target area where the H-6K had been lucky, and then used their traditional skills to shoot all the aviation rockets.
After about 110 seconds, the KH-31P will hit a target at a distance of eighty kilometers. The rest of the matter is not something that Li Zhan can control, and he can't see it. The missile's seeker guides the missile through all the rest of the work, and generally no target can escape the pursuit of a missile that reaches Mach 3 per hour, and it is a fixed target on the ground.
Ten minutes later, the Su-27 group flew to the second target area, and Li Zhan was the first to attack, he slowed down the airspeed lever and aimed at the white circle on the ground. The support personnel who were at a safe distance on the ground actually saw Li Zhan erecting the speed brake on the back of the plane, and the airspeed of the fighter plane was so slow that it seemed to stop flying in the air without a reference object.
In the past, there was no condition to drive the J-7E, so he could only fight and pull quickly, but now that he is driving the Su-27, he has the conditions to press down the airspeed and aim more calmly, and Li Zhan will definitely not give full play to the performance of the fighter.
When the airspeed dropped to 160, Li Zhan opened fire. The massive scene of an aerial rocket ground attack will make anyone's blood spin, even if they know that it is only a military fan of an unguided rocket. In terms of visual effects, the launch of any airborne missile is not as good as the scene of dozens of aerial fires being fired. Just as the navy has been obsessed with fighting anti-submarine rocket depth bombs for decades, the scene of dozens of anti-submarine rocket depth bombs being continuously launched from the launcher in the bow of the ship is a fixed-point picture in every news report.
This has a lot to do with our army's phobia of firepower, because since it suffered a loss of insufficient firepower on the Korean Peninsula and was deeply influenced by the Soviet Union's tactical thinking, prompting our army's commanders and fighters to put firepower first when proposing research and development targets to manufacturers and purchasing equipment.
It must be powerful and high-rate-of-fire, and these two indicators directly affect the amount of ammunition delivered per unit of time. Back then, the Americans in Shangganling made a Van Vliet ammunition ration, which made us suffer a lot, and secretly swore that one day when Lao Tzu had money, he would definitely buy two large-caliber guns, one for hitting you, and the other for watching and playing at home!
No army would delegate 122 mm howitzers to the brigade level as brigade firepower, let alone 300 mm rockets as corps firepower......
The Chinese really played rockets to the extreme, and the opening of the first year should be the year when the 107-mm multiple launch rocket was equipped with troops. We are the ancestors who play with fire, and everyone else is a disciple. We have a thousand ways to equip rockets with any ability for surface-to-surface missiles other than to fly out of the atmosphere, and of course there are a thousand ways for all branches of the military to use the old traditional skills.
Even the mine-sweeping units use anti-mine rockets......
When Li Zhan pulled up, the No. 01 fighter was already approaching the critical point of stalling, and it almost lost its wingtip and stalled. Pushing the throttle and pulling it up was to glance at the airspeed meter, which was only 140, which was simply perverted.
The follow-up comrades-in-arms obviously did not have such superb skills and courage as him, and they took aim and shoot in accordance with the requirements in a regular manner, and did not dare to erect a speed brake to slow down.
Captain Li is a man who can use the J-7E to make a cobra more than ten meters above the ground, which cannot be simply compared.
"Dong Qi, Lan Zhi called, received an answer, over."
When Li Zhan rose to the return altitude, he turned his head to look at the rest of the fighters behind him, but there was a call from Lan Zhi on the radio.
"Dong Yu received, is returning in formation, over." Li Zhan replied while joining the formation of fighters that had caught up with him.
Lan pointed and said, "Dongyi, you missed the target, it's over." ”
"The missile missed?" Li Zhan was taken aback.
"Yes, it was lost, ten kilometers off. Dongyi, you leave the formation and go to Nankuchang Station to land, you have to see the scene. Lan Zhi gave the latest instructions.
Li Zhan said neatly, "Understood, alternate to Nanku, go to the scene, over." ”
"Someone on the ground will pick you up, please find out the reason as soon as possible, over." Lan Zhi's tone was not very good.
No one will be in a good mood, what is the concept of a deviation of 10 kilometers, a total distance of 80 kilometers, and such a large deviation means that the missile was lost soon after it was launched, and it did not fly towards the target at all. Fortunately, there are all kinds of preparations, otherwise this deviation of 10 kilometers into the settlement area will be a big trouble.
Li Zhan was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly reported to the tower and then turned to fly to Nankuchang Station.
The KH-31P's error is definitely not so outrageous, and the biggest possibility is that he may not have locked on to the target at all, or locked on the wrong target!
It's his responsibility.
