Chapter 261: Pursuit at Sea
In the Kushiro-Rumoe area, the Soviets to the north and the islands to the south, the armies of both sides are ready to fight at any time on the border, and according to this form, their air forces should also patrol the border line frequently. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, the opposite is true, and the skies over Hokkaido have always been quiet. Although the island nation has redeployed a large number of fighters at the Chitose base in Hokkaido, the training has always been carried out in the airspace of the south, and it rarely flies to the north, let alone to the border line.
The reason is simple, the islanders are afraid of expanding the conflict before they have the necessary certainty.
Everyone knows that the Soviets are unreasonable, they have always been aggressive. If the fighters of the island country patrol the border line, then the fighters of the Soviets will definitely accompany and track on the other side of the border line. Collisions can occur at any time, and then turn into large-scale air battles, and the ground will also fight, and the Soviets will take advantage of this opportunity to occupy all of Hokkaido!
Therefore, the islanders are very restrained. Looking at the north and gritting his teeth, he has to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
Helicopters, on the other hand, are not restricted, and they are still operating in their own territory, eliminating the Chi troops that continue to appear in various places.
The two AH-1 Cobra helicopters that received the order quickly took off from the tarmac of the base, and they had already received a report that the defected No. 024 was flying in the direction of the east, so they quickly pushed the nose of the plane, flew over the white chaff, and flew towards the sea.
There is no radar equipment whatsoever. The pilots of the Cobra helicopter can only rely on their own sight. Observation of targets at sea.
The first Lu Wei Tanaka kept looking at the sea in the distance. If that helicopter wants to defect, it will definitely fly in a northeasterly direction! Therefore, that is the main direction of his search, and in order to avoid being detected by radar, they will definitely reduce their altitude and fly close to the surface of the sea!
After receiving the news that the city had been attacked, the two helicopters took off, and the distance between them and the defected helicopter was only a dozen kilometers. In a clear sky, the visual distance of a good pilot will exceed twenty kilometers.
"Target found!" Tanaka spotted the bright spot on the sea in the distance, and the light reflected by the propeller in the sunlight was so clear!
"Catch up and kill him!" The pilot in the back shouted, and the engine on the top of the helicopter made a loud roar and had been accelerated to the maximum. The speed of 277 kilometers per hour is faster than the speed of the defected 024 flying close to the sea!
Tanaka turned on the weapon switch, a Tao anti-tank missile, ready for launch.
When helicopters appear on the battlefield. Anti-helicopter research began, which ultimately proved to be the most effective anti-helicopter weapon. Helicopters are one of them!
AH-1 Cobra, also has good anti-enemy helicopter capabilities. Airborne anti-tank missiles can be used against each other, as well as specialized Sidewinder missiles. It's just that now they are in a hurry, and they are not equipped with Sidewinder missiles, and they can only use Tao anti-tank missiles.
Five thousand meters, four thousand meters, three thousand meters, the distance is constantly decreasing, and at this time, the defected helicopter, only caring about flying forward, did not find itself!
What a great opportunity!
The infrared of the sight, which had already been successfully aimed at the flying helicopter, Tanaka gently pressed the launch button, and a Tao anti-tank missile, flying out of the short-wing pylon, dragged the tongue of fire, forward!
The pay-off device at the tail constantly releases the wire, which is a common guidance means for missiles now.
The missile that adopts radio command guidance is very susceptible to electromagnetic interference on the battlefield, so dragging the wire for guidance and using the wired guidance method can avoid the enemy's electromagnetic interference and improve the hit rate.
The speed of the missile is not fast, the maximum speed of 360 meters per second, and it takes more than ten seconds to fly this distance of three thousand meters.
Holding his breath, Tanaka silently counted down in his mind, nine, eight, seven, six...
The missile is still flying forward smoothly and hitting the target, and it is only a matter of minutes.
Just when the missile was still one second away from the target, the Cobra helicopter, which was originally flying close to the sea, suddenly pulled up in height, and the speed was so fast that Tanaka could not react, and when he hurriedly adjusted the aiming device and re-aimed at the target, the Tao missile had already passed by the side of the target helicopter.
It's not a proximity fuse, it has to be in contact to hit! Tanaka couldn't help but curse, Yaga! If it had been a rattlesnake, the battle would have been settled long ago!
Pull it up! Osamu Maruoka slammed the total moment bar to the highest with his left hand, and his mouth was still panting, it was really too dangerous just now!
Just clinging to the sea, hurry up and fly to Kushiro, it will be safe when you get there, but he didn't expect that there is already a tracker behind him!
Fortunately, in the last second, Osamu Maruoka spotted the sparkling sea, but it suddenly turned red, and immediately thought that it was the light reflected on the sea surface of the missile with a tail flame! I can see it from the side of the sea, which means that the other party is very close, and he is almost about to hit himself!
So, without any hesitation, Maruoka Shu quickly pulled the total moment to the head, if it was an ordinary civilian helicopter, so suddenly, the helicopter might fall, and the current armed helicopter, the performance is quite good, the operation is flexible, and then the height is lifted all of a sudden.
Pushing the lever and steering, Osamu Maruoka saw the two helicopters of the same type that had caught up from the side.
"Yaga!" Osamu Maruoka cursed in his mouth, knowing that he was in big trouble.
"No, let's go!" Rokuro Ohashi shouted, "We have no weapons!" ”
Rockets are useless in air combat, and there is still hope for anti-tank missiles, but both weapons were used up when they just attacked the US military headquarters, and at that time they were afraid that there would still be a living mouth in it, leaving regrets, but now Ohashi Rokuro regrets it, I knew earlier, it would be good to leave one or two anti-tank missiles!
"We can't leave, we can't return safely without killing them." Osamu Maruoka was extremely calm: "We still have a cannon. Ohashi-kun, think of Mieko! ”
In addition to the weapons under the short-wing pylons, the AH-1 Cobra helicopter, there is also an M197 type 3-barreled 20mm "Gatling" cannon! (To be continued.) )
