Chapter 174: Balloon Fighting
"I went, carelessly, forgetting that our altitude was too low." Yang Luo said.
“……”
Ye Jianlong was speechless.
"See, get back to me right away."
Yang Luo stopped doing it and said, "Commander, we will be outside the city soon, it is a real shame to go back at this time, we can't be anticlimactic, we must kill this balloon."
"Commander, I agree with 301's point of view, since the incident has happened, we have to do it to the end, I think the superiors will understand our difficulties." Ye Jianlong echoed.
Hu Zhongming thought for a moment and said, "302, report the target situation." ”
Ye Jianlong replied, "The target has reached the outskirts, the altitude has risen to 1,500 meters, and the shooting conditions are not yet mature, which may affect the people on the ground." ”
"How long will it take you?"
"Five minutes at most."
Hu Zhongming gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you five minutes, and I'll immediately ask my superiors to shoot it down with an aerial cannon." ”
As Ye Jianlong said, things have happened and cannot be reversed, so simply do a good job and care what others say.
"Understood."
After two responses, Yang Luo and Ye Jianlong continued to push the balloon.
The two fighters were on combat readiness duty, carrying three types of weapons, 200 rounds of artillery shells, a rocket launcher with seven rockets, and four air-to-air missiles.
However, live ammunition is not something that can be fired if you want to, and it must be approved.
The right to approve is no longer in the regiment, and the use of aviation artillery must be approved by the division, and if rocket artillery and missiles are to be used, the approval of the military region is required, and the relevant materials must be sorted out and handed over afterwards.
Of course, there are exceptions, and if it is an emergency, such as being attacked, any tower can temporarily authorize the pilot to fight back, and it is sufficient to provide evidence to support it afterwards.
As a front-line combat readiness unit, the 122nd Regiment has often fired live ammunition, and it used to be quickly approved.
But today, Hu Zhongming still made a lot of effort to explain to Song Yongqi before he was approved.
Five minutes later, Ye Jianlong reported to the tower, "Report to the tower, the target has floated to the outskirts, visual observation, the conditions for shooting are ripe." ”
"Let's make sure again, we must not have an impact on the masses."
After a few minutes of adjustment, Hu Zhongming has regained his composure, but the expression on his face is obviously not very good-looking.
At this time, Yang Luo was relatively close to the balloon and looked down at the ground.
Although there were still a large number of people following out of the city, taking pictures and videos all the time, they were not directly under the balloon, and the horizontal distance was still quite far away, so the shooting would not affect them at this time.
"Tower, the conditions are ripe for shooting, 301 requests to shoot." Yang Luo hurriedly said.
Hu Zhongming's eyes were staring at the radar screen, and after hearing Yang Luo's words, he suddenly said angrily, "You give me the side, 302, and the shooting is up to you." ”
Hu Zhongming was angry that he shouldn't have listened to Yang Luo, how could he still let Yang Luo shoot.
Well, that's right, Hu Zhongming at this time is a little small-bellied.
Yang Luo was a little excited, pedaled the rudder to turn, climbed the lever, and controlled the fighter to leave the edge of the balloon, so that it was convenient for Ye Jianlong to shoot.
"Understood."
Ye Jianlong replied energetically, pedaling the rudder to turn, and went around to the direction where the balloon floated out of the city, and the nose of the plane pointed at the balloon.
"Tower, I'm ready to shoot."
"Yes."
The 302 J-10C aims at the balloon, and the head-up display of the instrument panel displays the aiming information, while the helmet sight locks on the balloon.
The thumb of Ye Jianlong's right hand touched the launch button at the top of the joystick and pressed it decisively.
"Bang."
30-mm aerial artillery shells burst out of the barrel on the belly of the aircraft and traveled along a predetermined trajectory at speeds of up to several hundred meters per second, easily traversing space.
Hitting a balloon is really not difficult, it is easier than hitting an empty target, after all, an empty target is an enemy aircraft in simulated motion, and neither speed nor maneuverability can be compared with a balloon.
As for the balloon, the movement speed is slow, there is no maneuverability to speak of, and once locked, it is impossible to miss, unless the pilot is too vegetable.
Obviously, Ye Jianlong is not a vegetable, on the contrary, he is very powerful.
In less than a second, the artillery shells approached the balloon, and the radio proximity fuse sensed the target and exploded with a bang.
The fragments of the exploded artillery shells flew irregularly, the balloon was hit by the fragments and exploded in the air, and the red banner under the balloon lost its floating power and fell helplessly downward.
Ye Jianlong pulled the rod and pedaled the rudder, adjusted the canard wings and flaps, increased the angle of attack, enhanced the lift of the fighter, and roared to climb in the direction of Dongling Field Station.
In addition to being seen from movies and television, the shooting of fighter jets can not be seen in ordinary times, and today has opened everyone's eyes.
The scene of firing was naturally filmed and transmitted to the Internet, and people who did not understand the behavior of the two J-10s before suddenly understood, and at the same time, the news on TV also explained.
"Tower, the target is concentrated, it's gone, it's over." After Ye Jianlong pulled it up, he reported.
"301, 302, return immediately, over." Hu Zhongming gave the order.
"302 understood, over."
"301 understood, over."
The two of them returned to Donglingchang Station, gradually becoming smaller in the eyes of the melon-eating crowd, and finally disappeared.
Returning to Dongling Station, the fighter plane was stopped at the parking stand, and while the maintenance personnel were busy, the two of them left and returned to the combat readiness duty room.
As soon as he stepped into the combat readiness duty room, he saw that Hu Zhongming was already waiting inside, pulling a face and looking at the two of them gloomily.
"Commander." Yang Luo smiled wryly and shouted.
"Laugh, you can still laugh." Hu Zhongming said angrily, "I was miserable by the two of you." ”
"Commander, that's so serious, isn't it just being photographed and videotaped? It is more than 1,000 meters apart, and you don't have to worry about the risk of leakage. Ye Jianlong said.
Hu Zhongming said, "Don't worry about leaking secrets, the problem is that both of you are on the news, and the people of the whole country are watching it, and those who understand know that you are for the safety of the masses, so you have to push the balloon out of the city to solve it." But what about those who don't understand? They will only think that our Air Force has too much money to burn, especially if someone with ulterior motives takes it out of context, the trouble will only be greater. ”
"We can't control our mouths on others, we just need to be worthy of our own conscience and do our part, no matter what they say." Yang Luo said indifferently.
"Is it that if you don't find you if you're looking for trouble, you don't care?" Hu Zhongming glared at Yang Luo and said, "Let me tell you two, once I am in trouble, I will make you feel bad first, hum." ”
Hu Zhongming is purely unfounded.
The higher-ups are not going to punish the J-10C because it was exposed.
The J-10C and J-10B are highly similar, and non-military enthusiasts simply cannot tell the difference between the two models.
Besides, there have been a lot of specious pictures circulating on the Internet for a long time, but the appearance is just exposed, according to the usual practice of our army, it should be treated coldly, that is, not deny, uncertain, let you guess.
