Chapter 257: The True Tiger Side of the Atomic Bomb

The 8K14 nuclear missile flew at high speed, emitting enormous heat in the cold air, leaving a long trail of infrared heat sources behind the trajectory on which it operated. A forward-looking infrared detection system installed on a Chinese "Hunter" helicopter gunship on duty over the northwest of the town of Rivia Gora spotted the "dangerous big guy" as soon as the missile entered its detection range, and promptly issued a voice and graphic prompt and warning to its indulgers.

"Missiles!" Li Weiguo, the helicopter pilot who was sitting in the back cabin of the "Hunter" helicopter gunship, looked at the warning information on the multifunctional display and the graphic prompts of this aircraft flying at high speed in the air, and he immediately made an accurate judgment. "The Soviets launched missiles!"

Niu Jinbiao, the weapon in the front compartment of this "hunter", also said through the voice system in the front and rear cabins: "Man, plug it in and kill it!" โ€

The pilot, Li Weiguo, turned the helicopter to the right and plugged it diagonally in the direction of 2 o'clock.

Under the blow of the powerful military force of the squadron, the Soviet army's mechanized offensive tactics of large regiments with large depth, high speed, and wide front have completely failed. The long-range strikes of the [***] squadron, 'digging out the heart or beheading', information covering, concealment and interspersing, and roundabout encirclement -- these new tactics were organically combined, and the various units of the Soviet army in the Far East were divided into pieces. It is already good that the departments of the Soviet army can use regiments as combat units.

The remnants of the 4th Motorized Infantry Regiment of the 90th Division of the 1st Army of the Post-Baikal Military District of the Soviet Army were surrounded by a rapid reaction force of more than 600 people from the 53rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 7th Division of the Shenyang Military Region of the People's Liberation Army in the town of Riviagora, and they were already cornered. Under the orders of the political commissar of the Red Banner Military District of the Soviet Far East, the commander-in-chief of the Provisional Command of the Far Eastern Military District of the USSR, General Huapinovsky, and the "letter of persuasion" of the squadron, the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Kukayilov, made the wise choice of stopping resistance and surrendering to the squadron.

On the order of the regimental commander, Major Sovaro Verv, chief of staff of the 4th Motorized Infantry Regiment of the Soviet Army, drove a "white flag" gas 69 military jeep with a "white flag" made of his own white shirt back fan, and surrendered to the [***] team on behalf of the 4th Regiment of the Soviet 90th Division.

He drove up to a "Destroyer" tank parked on the road west of the town and said loudly in Russian to the Chinese soldiers on top of the tank, "Please take me to the Chinese comrade in charge here, I have something important to talk to him." He saw that the Chinese soldier did not know what to do, so he pointed to the "white flag" on the car.

To tell the truth, Major Sovarov was well aware of China's prisoner-of-war policy and knew that the Chinese comrades would not be embarrassed for themselves. But through the life-and-death struggle in the past few days, I really saw the mighty [***] people face to face, and there was still an inexplicable fear in my heart.

Although these [***] people are not too tall, when they fight, they are really not afraid of death, do not want to die, dare to rush and dare to fight, plus the weapons and equipment are good, and the combat effectiveness is very strong. As Lieutenant Colonel Kukayilov said, I have fought with the Germans, and I have fought with Yue myself, and this time I learned from my fight with the Chinese [***] team that the Chinese [***] team is the most terrible, the bravest, the most capable of fighting, the least afraid of death, and the best equipment in the world, and I am really ashamed of my own arrogance before this."

Soon, Major Sovarov and his entourage were taken to an armored command vehicle and met with the "Loved People's Liberation Army" who could give them warmth and food.

In the armored command car of the instructor Wang Jianjiao of the 7th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 53rd Division of the Shenyang Military Region, the two sides had a very friendly and frank comradely conversation.

Instructor Wang Jiandu said that he welcomed the comrades of the 4th Motorized Infantry Regiment of the 90th Division of the Red Star First Group Army of the Soviet Army, who made the right decision at a critical moment and saved the lives of more than 1,000 Soviet officers and men. In order to make it easier to better "take care" of the Soviet comrades and not disturb the normal life of the Soviet people. The comrades of the 4th Regiment of the Soviet Army were asked to gather in the school east of the town of Rivia Gora and the town axe in the center of the town, and if the room was not enough, they could temporarily set up some tents. In order to solve the shortage of food for the Soviet comrades, 1,583 Soviet officers and soldiers were temporarily allocated 3,000 kilograms of flour, 2,000 canned luncheon meat and 2,000 canned pickled cucumbers, for a few days. When it got to the official "Soviet military guest house", everything was good. As for 2 taels of wine a day, it will be free of charge, and it can only be available at the "Soviet Army Guest House".

Major Sovarov expressed his heartfelt thanks to the Chinese comrades for their meticulous concern and reiterated that he would obey the command of the Chinese comrades and organize all the work before his "entry into the station."

The 1,583 prisoners of war of the Soviet Army, under the organization and arrangement of Sovarov, quickly completed the handover of weapons and the concentration of personnel with the squadron. Subsequently, the 7th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 53rd Division of the Shenyang Military Region, except for the instructor Wang Jiandi and a squad of soldiers, handed over these Soviet prisoners of war and the weapons and equipment of the Soviet army to the more than 500 militiamen of the Red Frontier who followed behind. The rest swept in the direction of the city of Krasnokamensk to the east.

Li Weiguo and Niu Jinbiao, who were on duty in this area in the Hunter gunship, discovered that the Soviets had launched a missile, and they quickly made a correct response, and they intercepted the missile at a speed of 270 kilometers per hour at a diagonal angle from the direction of 2 o'clock.

Since their main combat mission on duty was to search and discover the ground forces of the Soviet army, provide the latest battlefield intelligence for the Chinese ground forces, and assist the ground forces in striking at the ground forces of the Soviet army, they did not carry more air-to-air missiles, and only brought two TY58 air-to-air missiles improved by infantry shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles, which were mainly used to deal with Soviet helicopters and low-altitude targets.

TY-58 missiles, that's a good thing. It uses a multi-infrared seeker, with excellent anti-jamming and omnidirectional attack capabilities, with an entry angle of 0 degrees to 360 degrees, a head-on attack without dead ends, and an autonomous launch capability. The maximum flight speed is greater than Mach 2, and it has excellent close-range combat ability at low altitude and ultra-low altitude. The TY-58 air-to-air missile is characterized by its small size and light weight. The length of the projectile is 1900 mm, the diameter of the projectile is 90 mm, the total weight of the projectile is 20 kg, but the warhead weighs 3 kg. It has a high killing power, and its single-shot kill chance is 80%. And with a good on-hook adaptation surname, due to the light weight, the carrier aircraft can hang more missiles. It has a large dynamic range, the attack range is 500-6000 meters, and the combat height is 0-6000 meters. Large attack range.

Niu Jinbiao in the front compartment did not look at the instrument in front of him, but used his helmet sight to search for this Soviet missile; After staring closely at the missile that was getting closer and closer, and after locking on to the target, he used the method of "locking before launch", also known as "direct fire", to launch a TY-58 missile at a distance of 5,000 meters from the Soviet Union's 8K14 nuclear missile.

This milky white front end is a transparent red hat, the compact TY58 air-to-air missile, attracted by the thermal radiation of the Soviet behemoth, at a speed of Mach 2, rushed to the Soviet Union, an 8K14 tactical nuclear missile that weighs more than 200 times its own.

With a loud bang, the high-speed flying "Pegasus" exploded in the air, and in an instant, a huge fireball cut off the Soviet Union's 8K14 nuclear missile with a length of 11.1 meters, a diameter of 885 millimeters, and a total weight of 6,370 kilograms.

The 8ะค14-269a nuclear warhead with a nuclear charge of 10 kilograms of uranium-235, a length of 2,870 millimeters and a diameter of 884 millimeters lost power and crashed into an open field 1.3 kilometers east of the town of Riviagora 1.3 kilometers east of the town of Rivia Gora, 1.3 kilometers from the town's primary school.

The Soviet 8K14 nuclear missile is an implosion-type nuclear warhead, and the structure of the warhead is to make a spherical device of high-explosive explosives, and the uranium-235 nuclear charge less than the critical mass is also made into small balls, which are placed in a spherical device made of these explosives. Through the synchronous ignition of the electric detonator, the explosives are detonated at each point at the same time, generating a powerful implosion wave, so that the peripheral nuclear charge closes to the center at the same time, making it greatly exceed the critical limit. Using a controllable neutron source in the center, when the implosion wave effect is at its highest, it is "ignited", and a self-sustaining chain reaction is realized, resulting in an extremely violent explosion.

Although this 8K14 nuclear missile was successfully shot down by a TY-58 missile launched by this Chinese "Hunter" helicopter gunship. However, its detonating mechanism was not damaged and was still working according to the programme. The explosion occurred at the same time that the 8ะค14-269a nuclear charge of 10 kg of uranium-235, the implosion nuclear warhead crashed to the ground with the wreckage of a section of the launch vehicle.

Suddenly, the bright light shone, and a white fireball brighter and more dazzling than the sun rose into the air, and within 5,000 meters of the explosion center, it would be illuminated by more than 10 times stronger than the sun. The huge mushroom cloud swirled and soared, surging and soaring into the sky, reaching a height of more than 7,000 meters. An extremely intense scorching heat quickly ignited everything that swept by. Then the heavens and the earth roared, and there was a deafening loud noise, and a huge shock wave suddenly swept through everything here like a hurricane, and suddenly the sand and rocks flew and the sky was dark

At this time, Li Weiguo, who was piloting the "Hunter" helicopter gunship, and Niu Jinbiao, the weapon gun, had completed the attack on the Soviet nuclear missile very beautifully, and they were just about 4 kilometers above the center of the explosion point.

Niu Jinbiao, the weapon commander, instantly closed his eyes, pulled down the sunshade, and shouted in horror: "Atomic bomb!" The Soviets launched an atomic bomb! โ€

Li Weiguo didn't have time to put down his sunshades, he closed his eyes tightly, and felt the helicopter roll in the air waves like a small sampan in the roaring sea. Up and down, left and right, the bumps are extremely large. I felt the impact of a huge wave. He used his hands and feet at the same time, and drove this beloved helicopter gunship with great difficulty, trying his best to stabilize the helicopter like a wild horse at this time, and he tried his best to turn the helicopter to the northeast. The helicopter made a "check" almost along the edge of the rising mushroom cloud, turning from northwest to northeast, and quickly escaped from the nuclear explosion area.

They quickly inspected their fighter planes, and the strong pulse rays produced by the explosion of the nuclear missile launched by the Soviet Union interacted with the surrounding matter, causing the growth and disappearance of electric current, and the electromagnetic pulse produced seemed to be powerful thunder and lightning, and the electric field strength could reach hundreds of thousands of volts, disrupting the normal radio wave propagation, causing the communication on the "Hunter" helicopter gunship they were piloting to be interrupted, some electronic control equipment to malfunction, and electronic computer data to be confused. At the same time, the electromagnetic pulse also had a certain harm to them, making them unusually excited and angry.

The helicopter gunship, which was almost entirely out of order, flew to the site where the nuclear missile was launched. They're going to get justice with the Soviets here, fuck it! Don't play like this.

The nuclear charge that crashed into an open field 1.3 kilometers east of the town of Rivia Gora, 1.3 kilometers from the town's primary school, was a 10-kilogram uranium-235 implosion nuclear warhead explosion, which not only released a huge amount of energy, but also completed the nuclear reaction process in a microsecond time.

The fireball produced by the nuclear explosion glows for a few seconds, but in just a few seconds, the air temperature around the nuclear explosion point is as high as hundreds of thousands of degrees, and the light radiation emitted by the fireball travels at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second in a straight line to kill all living things within 1,600 meters.

More than 40 militia fighters sitting in Soviet armored vehicles and cars on the Red Frontier, the closest to the nuclear explosion site, were the first to be killed, and under the action of light radiation and shock waves, they were instantly transformed into charred corpses. Cars and armored vehicles have been "blown away" to a distance of 2 or 30 meters from their original positions, and they have completely lost their original appearance, and the five T55 tanks of the Soviet Army have also been torn off their turrets, unrecognizable, thrown more than ten meters away, turned into a pile of ugly scrap steel, the artillery on the turret has become twisted like twisted flowers, and some of the surrounding trees have been uprooted, even the "strong trees" that have not been uprooted have also become crooked, uneven, charred and carbonized wooden piles

Everything here turned into a charred black incineration in an instant.

The huge energy generated by the 10 kg uranium-235 nuclear reaction is released in less than a second, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas produced expands strongly in all directions, resulting in an overpressure of a huge air flow, forming a high-pressure shock wave, which is like a hurricane-like pressure wave that spreads through media such as air, water and soil. Shockwave killing, one of the fourth most lethal powers of the atomic bomb, was formed.
