Chapter 280: Engine Noise
Wearing an oxygen mask and holding the operating lever, Andre looked at the sky outside, the clear blue sky, what a good weather for flying!
Came out of the command headquarters and flew the fighter again, this is Andrei once again flying the MiG-31 interceptor! As the supreme commander of Hokkaido, Andrei fought in the sky, which was the most incredible, almost everyone in the command was against it, and Andrei finally convinced everyone.

The battle on the ground, there is no longer any suspense, the Soviet steel torrent, able to quickly advance to the south of Hokkaido! Now, the most important thing is still the air battle, as long as the planes of the island nation and the planes of the Americans supporting them are killed in the air battle, they will be able to achieve their strategic goals!
Moreover, Andrei also promised that he would not fight on the front line, but only in the rear, accompanied by AWACS aircraft to escort the air.
The MiG-31 is an early warning aircraft, after all, it is not as good as a professional moss early warning aircraft, so now it flies next to the moss, on the one hand, to provide escort missions, on the other hand, when needed, it can turn on its own radar at any time to provide additional early warning.
Flying into the blue sky again, Andrei's mood was exceptionally calm, the last fight proved that the modification of the MiG-23 has the ability to fight with the F-15, and the biggest threat to their side, the Tomcat carrier-based aircraft on the US Navy aircraft carrier, is now gone.
Merchant ships on Sakhalin, loaded with main battle tanks, went in a big circle, went to Tokyo to land, of course, this is a trick made up by the strategy of its deception! This kind of trick will not work if you use it twice in a row! Moreover, Tokyo Bay is not Kushiro, and landing from there will take at least another ten years, and the aircraft carrier formation of the Red Navy will have strong enough combat effectiveness, so let's land by sea!
Those merchant ships have completed their mission, the Americans' aircraft carrier formation, has been transferred, without the support of Tomcat fighters, Andrei has full confidence to seize the current battlefield air supremacy.
It's a pity that there is no scene of the MiG-23 fighting the Tomcat, and the competition between the two variable-swept wing fighters will definitely be more exciting, but Andrey doesn't want the Tomcat fighters to cause trouble.
"The fighters at the Chitose base have taken off, pay attention, the 171st regiment, go to the sixth airspace to intercept!" With a scanning radius of up to 370 kilometers, the moss early warning aircraft can monitor Hokkaido in the Sea of Okhotsk, and the bases such as Aomori on the opposite side are also within the monitoring range.
Teach the odious Soviets a decent lesson!
At the northern tip of the island nation of Honshu, the Misawa base in Aomori.
As the northernmost air base in Honshu, this is already a full frontier, and as soon as the command order is conveyed here, the base immediately begins preparations for the attack.
The 35th Wing deployed here, originally only the 14th Squadron was reequipped with F-15s, and now, even the 13th Squadron has been reequipped with the same F-15 fighters.
Although it has suffered several losses, the F-15 still has outstanding combat performance, as the third generation fighter of the United States, it can carry all the advanced missiles in service in the United States, and it is completely able to suppress the Soviet fleet in the front, except for the metamorphosis like the MiG-25!
Just a few days ago, the F-15 fighters of the Self-Defense Forces of the island countries were actually besieged by a group of MiG-23s! The pilots who fled back from the island country said that the MiG-23 of the Soviets was very evil, and it was as difficult as the MiG-25! This made the squadron leader of the 13th squadron, Major Dick, very angry.
MiG-25, it's really hard to entangle! Thinking of the experience two years ago, Major Dick still had a chilling feeling, but at that time, it was also because he was flying an F-4 fighter, if he was flying the current F-15, he could still let go of the other party, as long as the other party did not enter the high altitude!
That battle, so vividly remembered, after that, Major Dick returned to the country, changed to fly F-15, after that, he could have been transferred to the European forces, but he decided to return to the Far East, he wanted revenge!
Soviets, wait to be brutalized by advanced F-15 fighters! Major Dick sat into the cockpit, stabilized his thoughts, and began to methodically start the two F100 engines in the tail.
Driven by the ground power supply car, the tail made a soft roar, and the left engine was successfully started!
Then, the right hair also roared, and the blazing tail flame, at the tail of the F-15, bloomed into two beautiful flowers.
"Successful start!" The ground crew shouted and made a familiar gesture as they directed the F-15 to taxi in the direction of the runway.
At this moment, suddenly, the ground staff frowned.
"Engine noise, engine noise!" The voices of the ground crew, over the radio, reached Major Dick's ears clearly.
As a ground crew, you need to be proficient in your own techniques, such as observing the tail flame of the engine, verifying that the engine is in normal working condition, and verifying whether the engine is faulty by listening to the sound of the engine.
And now, in the roar of the engine, the ground crew heard an abnormal squeak.
This voice, through the body, also reached Major Dick's ears.
What to do? Engine noise! This means that if the engine fails, you don't have to fly for this sortie! The aircraft needs to be overhauled.
Damn it! The worst thing is that there is no backup engine here! You know, the current production of F100 engines is simply not enough to ensure that the newly produced aircraft can be installed with engines immediately, and you need to wait before leaving the factory! And it is even more impossible to provide surplus engines to serve as backup engines for front-line troops.
Not only is there no backup engine, but even all kinds of spare parts are insufficient, many times, once the engine is disassembled, there is no ten days and half a month, it is not repaired at all, and this big war, you don't have to go out.
Thinking of this, Major Dick gritted his teeth and said on the radio: "Aomori, Fox Hunt didn't hear the noise of the engine, and the data of various instruments are normal, please take off!" ā
The thirst for battle, the thirst for revenge, made Major Dick forget about the risk of engine failure, and his confident call made the tower think that it was just a mistake by the ground crew.
"You can take off." There was an echo from the tower.
Major Dick swept the ground crew standing on the outside of the runway, released the brakes, and began to gently increase the throttle with his left hand.
"Bang, bang, bang!" At this moment, at the tail of the fuselage, at the right engine, with this sudden sound, a burst of flames burst out.
The engine is on fire! (To be continued.) )
