[135] Surprise attack

The J-6 began to glide on the runway, swept 55 degrees to the extreme sturdy aluminum alloy wing of the large swept wing, carrying four Thunderbolt-2 air-to-air missiles, silver aircraft, milky white missile body, small and delicate missile wings, a little red on the black glass warhead, in the brilliance, with a sense of magic of science and technology. This is not destined to be a good sign for the Taiwan Air Force, and if this can be taken as a photo for the Taiwan Air Force pilots to see, I am afraid that they will be scared if they do not understand it.

To be more precise, this model is a modification of the Thunderbolt-2B air-to-air missile, that is, the Thunderbolt-2, which improves the problems of early explosion of the optical fuze, poor anti-jamming ability, and short range of action of the initial model of the Thunderbolt-2. After the model was equipped with the troops in 83, it was also mothballed with the retirement of the J-6. Now that it has come to 1950 and can be put into actual combat, it is finally not in vain This time, it seems to understand that it is going to be put into actual combat, and these missiles that have completed the loading are like living beings under the wings, breathing the sun and the breeze charmingly, as if they are about to move, and they want to fly away.

Lu Guoping is the pilot of the first batch of supersonic fighters in New China, J-6, and he is only 23 years old this year, but the instructors were impressed by the stable psychological quality he showed when he graduated from the aviation school, which did not match his age. At that time, he piloted a Japanese Type 99 higher education plane for a training flight, and the engine stalled in the air, but the calm and calm Lu Guoping used his courage and skills to fly the plane back smoothly and land on the runway, saving his young life and winning the weight of the instructor. You know, at the age of 23, you shouldn't be expected too much, but when you do, that's a different story.

Just before takeoff, the transparent glass hatch cover of the cabin had not yet been pulled up, and Lu Guoping, who was sitting quietly in the flight seat, checked the instrument again, and checked it again, still not at ease, and checked it again.

His flight gloves were already full of sweat, and he and his teammates completed the training tasks of all subjects except missile launches in less than three months of assault training. However, it is difficult to say how much strength he can give to the top high-performance aircraft of the J-6. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, the wait before take-off was the most tormenting, he must suppress the uneasiness in his heart at this moment, he told himself, be brave, be braver.

As a matter of fact, the training of Jian-6 pilots is generally three to six months according to the training program, and only 300 hours of flight time can be completed. In order to complete the training of the Jian-6 pilots of this group, Lu Guoping and his men have been flying for five hours almost every day for the past three months, and the cumulative flight time has exceeded 300 hours. The physical exertion brought about by flying is severe, but the air crew stove makes every pilot almost moved to cry, there is meat all the time, and there are buns and chicken legs to eat every other day. Later, I also took a multivitamin every day. Lu Guoping felt that if it was not a good thing to eat such a haode meal, it would be better to die.

At present, these pilots, according to the tutorial, have already calculated the division, and they are fully equipped with the ability to fly the Jian-6.

The turbojet engine life of the J-6 is only 200 hours, and in order to train this brigade, each pilot has consumed two J-6 engines. Since New China did not yet have the capacity to produce aero engines, every plane that Lu Guoping and his comrades-in-arms flew was brand new to them, and as soon as the engine's life was up, the whole aircraft had to be shipped to the Shenyang overhaul plant, which was being built urgently. Lu Guoping and his comrades-in-arms know that every minute in the sky is not easy to come by, if they can't get good results today, how can they be worthy of the two planes they drove and scrapped?

After receiving the take-off order, the Jian-6 fighters, which were so powerful that they were almost invincible in this era, were loaded with 48 Thunderbolt-2-B air-to-air missiles, gliding on the runway one after another, lightly pulling up into the blue sky. The Air Force Command gave them the following tasks: To discover the target -- launch missiles, then go up and hit them, run away after shooting the artillery ammunition, and to suffer as few losses as possible in air battles, and to protect themselves as much as possible.

As a first-generation air-to-air missile, the Thunderbolt-2 missile has a problem, that is, it is less maneuverable, and the carrier aircraft can only attack from the rear of enemy aircraft. If you attack head-on, you will likely be dodged by enemy aircraft.

For air warfare in the 21st century, this shortcoming is completely unacceptable! But now...... What's wrong with this!!

At the speed of one plane in two minutes, all the J-6s of a brigade completed takeoff. Under the leadership of Lu Guoping, twelve silver war eagles with a length of more than 2 meters and 13 meters long from Jian-5 formed an oblique line in the sky, and flew at high speed towards the direction indicated by the ground tower.

As for the fact that at this moment, 12 anti-sky air-launched missile launch platform Jian-6-B all-weather missile interceptors are approaching them, and the air force formation in Duwan is completely unaware of it! They are still attacking Jihua as planned, and they are constantly flying towards Puhai. Seeing that the coffin board is about to close, the nail is about to be driven down.

Li Pingyang, the captain of the Duwan bomber formation, reported to the Taiwan headquarters again on his B25 radio through the relay of the L5 communication machine: "Everything is normal, and when the formation is completed, it is expected to arrive in an hour to launch an air attack over Puhai." ”

At this time, the J-6 Brigade had already followed the guidance of the ground tower, went around to the rear of the bomber formation, and approached about three kilometers. According to the launch range of the Thunderbolt-2B air-to-air missile, which is at least 1.5 kilometers and maximum 7.5 kilometers, this is already very close.

But the other party still didn't realize that disaster was coming. According to Jihua, at this time, the formation of the J-6 team has become a squad mode of two and two combinations, and the distant zigzag spreads out into a horizontal column. The first squad led by Lu Guoping has begun to lock on to the target.

"Report to the Captain, Team 2 has been targeted."

"Roger."

"Report to the Captain, Team 3 has been targeted."

"Roger."

"Report to the Captain, Team 4 has been targeted."

"Roger."

……

After all the squads completed the target lock, Luo Guoping gave the order to attack: "Attention all squads, attention to all squads, 3, 2, 1, launch missiles!" ”

The first round of 24 air-to-air missiles whizzed away from the launcher under the wing of the J-6, and the J-6 flights could clearly see a row of dazzling fireballs, whistling towards the blue sky ahead. And at this moment, the bomber group in the distance, in the eyes of the J-6 pilots, has gradually appeared. In the distance, the formation of 71 large and small planes looked like a group of scavenging vultures circling from a distance, huddled together in black pressure.

For the Thunderbolt-2-B missile, which has reached a speed of Mach 2.2, the distance of 3 kilometers is really a blink of an eye after the missile accelerates to a maximum speed of 750 meters per second, and it is too late for the naked eye to react.

The first of the bombers to be shot was the L5 communication plane that was dragged in zuihou. A Thunderbolt-2 air-to-air missile exploded directly from the rear, and the entire back half of the plane was completely gone! The pilot died instantly, and the remaining shell of the L-5 telecommunications plane fell straight down like a broken half of a second kick after an explosion.
