[270] The shock wave becomes a cloud

While Boone was contemplating how to command the fleet in a naval battle with a large number of small formations of dozens of torpedo boats in the bridge command cabin of the Chicago, a report came from the radar room that the SC-type anti-aircraft radar had detected a large number of high-speed aircraft approaching, numbering about 50 aircraft.

Boone jumped up from the couch welded to the command bulkhead, and ordered in a state of rage: "Order, all ships go into air defense!" ”

Before Boone could finish speaking, a report came from the communication room: "General, the Chinese Navy has sent a notice that their air force has 24 fighters and 24 torpedo attack planes at an altitude of 1,000 meters above the strait, and the commander of the other side wants us not to worry, we can continue to pass through the strait." ”

Boone stared, his pale yellow eyebrows curled across his brow bone, and it was obvious that he was slightly annoyed.

"I know, they already have some jets, these Chinese performances are really endless, when I pick up the Valley Fuge, they must see the American carrier-based aircraft!"

After all, Boone was still nervous with a deep curiosity, and he frowned and complained:

"Since it's here, let's take a good look at the jets that the Chinese got from the Russians."

However, instead of landing on the observation platform at the top of the bridge again, Boone simply came to the joint command platform, picked up the phone and ordered:

"Pick me up in the radar room. Radar room, keep watching! Inform the other party of their position and speed. ”

"Attention all combat units, the main and auxiliary artillery fire control radars are fully turned on to scan and range the fleet of the Chinese Navy. All anti-aircraft gun-to-air fire control radars are turned on to scan and measure the range of Chinese aircraft! ”

Carrying out this air mission were 24 Jian-6 fighters of the First Air Force and 24 bombardment torpedo planes of two battalions of the newly established First Division of the Naval Air Force. The central authorities' order is very clear: Let the Americans see clearly and weigh the price to be paid for blockading the Taiwan Strait.

The radar room on the Chicago is constantly reporting the speed and course of the approaching group.

Radar Control Non-commissioned Officer Wilkins sweated profusely as he looked at the flashing and high-speed approaching dots of light on the 9-inch green PPI monitor in front of him, and hurriedly reported on the phone:

"Damn, they're too fast! It's too fast! The planes of the Chinese are supersonic! Supersonic! The speed is ...... The speed is ...... Mach 1.2! 1.2 Mach!! My God! ……”

Walter Boone had already learned from the information sent back by the US Consulate in Taiwan that China had jet planes, but who would have thought that the Chinese planes had actually broken through the sound barrier! Reach a staggering Mach 1.2!

Hearing the report from the radar room, Boone almost jumped to his feet, and scolded jealously and angrily: "Damn the Russians! These dog mongrels! I bet! Just give money! There is nothing they dare not sell! ”

Boone couldn't bear it any longer, and he took three steps and two steps to climb onto the lookout platform at the top of the bridge again, and raised the binoculars on his chest to look in the direction where the officers on the lookout were nervously observing.

I saw that the Chinese fighter in the distance was like a silver rocket constantly whistling and sweeping, and one after another, there was a continuous explosion sound in the air after the fighter broke through the sound barrier, and the shock wave sent by the fighter instantly broke through the sound barrier atomized the water vapor in the air around the fuselage, and pulled out a cone-shaped cloud behind him! The silver eagles of New China burst out of the cone cloud as if tearing through time and space!

24 J-6s, 24 sound barrier clouds! The Jian-6, which broke through the sound barrier, was like an out-of-control silver lightning, whistling and screaming, and swept over the head of the Seventh Fleet, as if mocking, leaving behind the unique long wake-edge cloud of turbojet engines, which pressed on the head of the Seventh Fleet one by one, as if an invisible cage, locking the sky of the Seventh Fleet.

The scene of these 24 supersonic J-6 fighters opening the afterburner at the same time to break through the sound barrier is so amazing that the entire US Seventh Fleet on the sea is stunned, and their brains are a little unable to turn, and they are completely unable to accept the current situation of the Chinese Air Force having supersonic fighters.

Now, the gills of fleet commander Walter Boone are already trembling with anger, and this supersonic field at an altitude of 1,000 meters above the head of the US fleet is undoubtedly a naked threat and a show of force.

You know, it wasn't until October 1947 that the U.S. Air Force broke the sound barrier in Shiyan for the first time, and the supersonic fighter that could be put into actual combat could not be born until 1954.

"Russians~~! The Russians have already begun mass production of supersonic fighters! They have actually equipped the Chinese! This group of bitches raised! There is really nothing they dare not sell! Boone scolded through gritted teeth.

Navy Staff Officer Rear Admiral Frank exclaimed nervously, "God, even if we take back the Valley Fortify, the Seventh Fleet will not be able to gain air superiority. The fighters of the Chinese are too fast! These supersonic fighters will shoot out all our propeller carrier-based aircraft like a turkey hunt! ”

And Brooke, the navigation staff officer on the observation platform of the Chicago bridge, was still entangled in the Chinese Navy's telling torpedo boats that he didn't care about the planes in the sky, and the telescope in his hand was always close to the 6625 torpedo boat in the distance. Finally, as if he had studied something, he suddenly said: "This kind of torpedo boat with a speed of 54 knots is really surprising enough, you know, although the previous G5 torpedo boat of the Russians also has this speed, but the displacement is only 14 tons, and the tonnage is at least half worse than this new model, according to the Soviet Navy's torpedo boat combat regulations, the G5 can only attack in the case of wind and waves below the third level, and this torpedo boat, I know only by visual inspection, its displacement is at least 35 tons!" He was designed for the sea conditions of the fifth level of wind and waves! And at present, none of the torpedo boats of such tonnage that I know of can exceed 40 knots. ”

The second mate Mike said irritably: "Brooke, I said you should stop paying attention to those little wasps, our real threat comes from the sky, the sky!" Do you understand? It's the sky! ”

In the Xining Mixed Formation Brigade, the officers and men of the New China Navy were proud and excited at this moment, and some even left tears.

Political Commissar Chen's face was wrinkled, and he kept shouting: "It's enjoyable!" Enjoyable! Supersonic! Supersonic! Old Deng, look! This is our supersonic fighter! ”

Commander Deng Zhaoxiang clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the excitement in his heart, he really wanted to shout at this moment: "Long live the motherland!" But the calm personality he has cultivated all the year round made him just nod happily, pointed to the cone-shaped clouds, and said intoxicatedly: "Lao Chen, look, that is the sound barrier cloud, it is said that the fighter instantly breaks through the sound barrier, and after exceeding the speed of the sound, that thing will appear!" Look at this one...... It's beautiful! ”

Political Commissar Chen kept counting the sound barrier clouds without blinking, and muttered happily in his mouth: "Yes! It's beautiful! It's so beautiful! Hey, if you can see this big scene in this life, it's worth it to die. ”

After the Jian-6 fighters passed through the field at supersonic speed, it was the turn of the H-5 torpedo planes, and the two H-5A torpedo aircraft groups just formed by the naval aviation, each carrying two Yu-2 under the wings, flew over the head of the Seventh Fleet.

In the radar room of the USS Chicago, Radar Control Officer Wilkins continued to report shockingly bad news to the command room: "900 kilometers per hour!" ”

Walter Boone almost fainted when he heard the results of the speed test in the radar room.

"Twin-engine jet torpedo attack aircraft at 900 kilometers per hour! The Russians are simply crazy! It's really crazy! The top speed of the F4U Corsair carrier-based aircraft on the USS Valley Forge is only 717 kilometers per hour. Other words! Our fighters can't even catch up with the Chinese torpedo machines! Damn it!!! ”

Rear Admiral Boone was in a complicated mood to the extreme, and after sending off 24 supersonic J-6s, he once again watched 24 twin-jet torpedo attack planes pull out more wake clouds over the Seventh Fleet.

Major Frank held the iron railing of the lookout with his hand, turned to Boone with a bitter face, and said, "Dear Mr. Commander, we must report to Honolulu and Washington at once!" After retrieving the USS Valley Forge, the Seventh Fleet cannot rush into the Taiwan Strait again. I mean, if it is to be passed, it must be responded to by the Chinese next time. While the Chinese may agree again, it is by no means a safe option to put the entire fleet under the watchful eye of a large number of supersonic fighters and jet-torpedo attack aircraft, as well as torpedo boats with impact speeds of up to 54 knots, through this narrow sea lane. There is no doubt that the future southbound route of the US Far East Command from Japan needs to be restudied and greatly revised. ”

Boone put down his binoculars, squinted at the formation of Chinese Navy destroyers and torpedo boats in the distance, gritted his teeth, and said in an eerie tone: "Unbelievable...... Chinese...... They stuck our necks ......"

On May 5, 1950, today's Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., the sound of gongs and drums and suona in the factory has not stopped since the morning, and the workers and engineers, teachers and students hugged each other excitedly, celebrating the successful ignition of the first blast furnace in New China.

Engineer Wang Qian was very excited, he hugged the factory director Shao Xianghua tightly, and shouted excitedly: "Xianghua! It's the end of the year! Can we really complete the double 100 task of 1 million tons of iron and 1 million tons of steel? ”

Shao Xianghua slapped Wang Qian's back vigorously and said, "Old Wang, why don't you believe it!" Take a look at our five-link 5000 cubic blast furnace! What a spectacular ignition! Wait, wait! The first molten steel is about to come out! ”

Wang Qian let go of the arm holding Shao Xianghua, stood there and wiped his tears and said, "It's not easy!" It's not easy! It's finally time to go out of the steel! It's time to go to steel! ”

The gong and drum team organized by the families of the Angang workers on the side kept beating as if they didn't feel the sourness of their hands, as if they thought that this festive and noisy drum beat could also increase the temperature of the blast furnace.
