Chapter Ninety-Three: The Eagle Spreads Its Wings II
Under Wang Wei's guidance, Wang Jiang and Liu Hai discovered that enemy planes were hidden and visible in the cloud cave.Six F-84 jet bomber fighters formed a herringbone formation and flew from northeast to southwest with great momentum.
Wang Dawei ordered loudly: "Calm down, don't worry, according to the usual shooting essentials, slowly push the longitudinal rod and dive down. Watch the rangefinder steady, aim and shoot! Wang Jiang and Liu Hai pressed the firing button according to the master's order, "Knock, knock, knock", "Knock, knock, knock" A string of 37 artillery shells fired at the enemy aircraft formation.
Wang Jiang hit the F-84 jet bomber on the far right, and after the plane rolled in the air a few times after being hit, it exploded in the air. Another F-84 jet fighter-bomber attacked by Bang Hai also dragged a long black smoke and roared into the sea.
An enemy plane was damaged, pulled black smoke, swayed like a drunk, and struggled in the air. Wang Jiang rushed forward desperately. At a distance of 700 meters from the enemy plane, he pressed the gun button again and fired two strings of 23-mm aerial artillery shells. Rip that F84 jet fighter-bomber off the right flank . This poor F84 fighter, like a spinning top, spun and rushed into the sea. At this time, he saw that the J10 piloted by the master and Zhang Tianfang was firing rockets from the back and above of his plane, spraying rockets with orange tail flames, and blowing up the other two F-84 fighter-bombers in the air. The remaining F-84 fighters turned around and wanted to run, but a MiG-15 of the other group rushed forward and fired at the enemy planes continuously. Suddenly, there was a flash of fire, and finally the F-84 jet fighter-bomber also fell down with black smoke and flames. Wang Jiang knew that this must be his classmates who were not convinced. Rush up and do it.' Ha ha. Not bad! Victory in the first battle' Wang Jiang thought beautifully in his heart. He quickly twisted the nose of the plane, drew a beautiful arc in the air, returned to the direction of the enemy plane at 11 o'clock, and joined the battle formation. Prepare to attack the next group of enemy aircraft.
After completing the formation, Wang Wei ordered to occupy the high altitude in the direction of 10 o'clock south of the enemy plane, use the sunlight, covertly meet the enemy, and prepare to launch a second wave of attacks.
"T107, 108 Attention! The target is at 10 o'clock in front of the left, below the clouds. You keep the altitude and pay attention to the search' At this time, Wang Wei and Zhang Tianfang stared closely at the multi-function color display. The F-84 jet bomber was followed by six B29 Flying Fortress bombers. They pulled down the helmet sight and turned on the digital mission computer. The clouds can block people's line of sight, but the fire control radar can indeed clearly show the enemy planes under the clouds, and after Wang Wei found the target through the airborne radar and thermal imaging system, he immediately turned on the helmet sight work switch. The 4 indicators on the lens on the right side of the indicator light are constantly flashing, indicating the direction of the target. According to the light instructions, Wang Wei turned his head to the right, and with the rotation of Wang Wei's head, the on-board fire control system also worked. The light-sensitive detector on the helmet continuously obtains the coordinate data of the target relative to the position of the aircraft by continuously measuring the position of the head, and transmits these changing data to the on-board electronic computer again and again. After the computer processes these data quickly, it immediately outputs the direction and pitch angle aiming instructions, and corrects the flight attitude through the automatic control system to control the airborne weapon system to aim at the target. This complex process is done almost synchronously in an instant. Wherever Wang Wei's head turns, the J10 fighter will fly and the aiming aura will be corrected. When the halo in the scope is completely aimed at the target, the target indicator lights will automatically go out, indicating that Wang Weike has launched an attack on the target. Wang Wei pressed the rocket nest launch button, and four 57mm rockets rushed out from the external rocket launch nest belt to find a beautiful tail flame. Flying to the target of 5 kilometers, one of the rockets accurately drilled in, and this time the leader of the team sneaked into the head of Colonel Shaqiu, deputy commander of the 5th Wing of the Kuomintang Air Force in the Pearl River Delta, and exploded. Blood and brain tissue, as well as body fragments, splattered all over the cockpit.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Tianfang was also turning his head and catching another enemy B29 bomber through the helmet sight, and the on-board fire control system was tracking the target. Zhang Tianfang then pressed the launch button of the rocket nest, and the target must be unable to escape the end. Zhang Tianfang thought, this helmet sight is really a good thing, it can give full play to the visual function of people, liberate people from the complicated tracking process, it is so fucking convenient to use, aiming and capturing the target quickly, accurately, it is really to see where to hit, where to hit where you want.
Wang Wei and Zhang Tianfang's eight rockets, like eight lightning bolts from the clouds, shot down two B29 bombers. At this time, the enemy planes panicked, and the formation was in chaos. They still haven't noticed where the plane that attacked them is? I had to flee in all directions. In fact, Wang Wei and Zhang Tianfang are fully capable of boiling these six big and stupid B29 bombers in one spoonful. But in order to train the actual combat ability of the new trainees, they retreated to the side to guard and prevent enemy planes from escaping. For these four MiG-15s to change the view of the enemy's formation. Cover them for an attack on the remaining four B29 bombers.
"J11101, an enemy plane was spotted in the left front, drilled out of the clouds, and asked for an attack" Liu Hai shouted excitedly.
'Agree to attack.107 cover, 108 attack!' Wang Wei gave the order to attack. 'That B29 jumped out of the clouds and wanted to fly high! Fly towards the sun! But don't you know that there are already four MiG-15s here, waiting for them here?
Bangs, Wang Jiang they saw a B29 bomber coming out of the clouds, like a big fly. They immediately rushed to the enemy planes one after the other according to Wang Wei's instructions.
At the same time they pounced, the B29 bomber also discovered them, and the enemy plane quickly turned around and wanted to drill back into the clouds, using the cover of the clouds to get rid of our plane. But it's too late. The enemy plane had no choice but to call out to its accomplices while meeting the trapped beasts.
Liu Hai, Wang Jiang saw the enemy plane rushing in, he was not afraid, pressed the nose of the plane, and bravely met it. 4000 m ...... 2000 meters! The 37mm cannon on the lower right side of the MiG-15 nose rang out, and it continued to spray fire snakes. The Kuomintang pilots were really confused. Damn, these rookies who have been flying for more than ten hours [***], why are they so harmful? It must be the big nose of the USSR, run! He fired a few shots indiscriminately, one flew sideways, and hurriedly dodged to the right and fled.
"I want to run" bangs quickly turned to the left side and intercepted from the right side of the enemy plane's flight arc. The enemy plane jumped into the clouds, they chased into the clouds, and the enemy plane rushed to the sea, trying to get rid of the attack at a very low altitude. Bang Hai held the longitudinal rod in his hand at this time, looked at the radio altimeter and electronic rangefinder, he pushed the throttle, rushed over, and firmly put the B29 into the aiming halo.1500 meters...... 1000 m ...... 800 m ...... He decisively pressed the gun button, and two 23mm cannons at the wing base fired more than 90 shells. The enemy plane trembled sharply, dragged a long black smoke, and fell into the sea with a wail, rushing up a large column of water dozens of meters on the surface of the sea.
Another cadet group also drove another B29 into the sea.
The pilots of the remaining two enemy planes, seeing their comrades buried in the sea, had already lost their self-confidence, and they were so frightened that they fled in the direction of Taiwan. However, it was discovered that two more powerful planes were intercepting them in their escape route. They thought there was no way to escape. Wang Wei dialed the radio into the enemy's communication channel and warned them: 'Please do not make unnecessary resistance, surrender to our Chinese People's Liberation Army at once, and fly according to the route I have designated, otherwise they will be shot down immediately.' The two B29 bombers, seeing that their companions were destroyed one by one, lost the courage to fight again. I had to obediently swing my tail to show negative obedience. Honestly fly according to the route designated by Wang Wei. When Wang Jiang and Liu Hai escorted the two B29 air prisoners left and right, they saw it, and the Kuomintang pilots in the cabin of the two B29s were also looking at them in dismay. This reminded Wang Wei of the scene when Wang Wei collided with a US reconnaissance plane in the naval aviation of later generations. He reminded me repeatedly: 'You two keep me away!' Don't get so close.' The battle was over, and Wang Wei led his comrades in the 1st Squadron to escort two B29 bomber planes. Piloting the Warhawk Triumphantly.
The 4.5 air battle was not only a very good result, but it was of great significance, as it was the first time that the first batch of young people's air forces in New China confronted enemy planes in the air! The average time these four young pilots spent flying on a jet fighter at this time was only about 28,35 hours. Also included is this transition flight time. Defeated, drank thousands of tons of aviation fuel, flew thousands of hours to study in the United States of the Kuomintang Air Force veterans. We have shot down 6 enemy planes, and we have not damaged any of them, with a record of 12 to 0, setting a record for capturing enemy fighters in the air. It has written a glorious chapter in the history of the People's Air Force of the People's Liberation Army of Chinese.
After the end of the 4,5 air battle, the supreme chief, after seeing the battle report transmitted by the Air Force Command, was extremely happy and wrote in his own hand: "Salute to the 1st Mixed Division of the Air Force!" Training and growth in combat is not only a requirement of the objective situation of war, but in my opinion, it is also the correct way to promote the rapid growth and expansion of the Air Force. ”
Commander Liu Yalou was even more ecstatic about the outstanding performance of the new generation of pilots on the battlefield. He personally went to the base and Deng Feng to study and further expand the scale of the aviation school. The problem of getting more new cadets into the war.
