Chapter 371: Aircraft Carrier to Aircraft Carrier
"Discover the Soviet fleet!"
In the command room of the Kunlun aircraft carrier, the shouts of the radar officer suddenly sounded.
Han Yanzong, who was anxiously waiting, did not hesitate to pounce on the chart, and after quickly determining the location of the target, he immediately gave the order for all carrier-based aircraft to take off, and as the alarm sounded, a large number of pilots rushed to the deck, and quickly boarded one fighter jet after another on standby.
Except for the six air-to-air missiles that are responsible for air combat, all the other Tiger Sharks are all hung with laser-guided bombs, which are mounted according to the layout of one on each of the belly and one on each wing, but the one on the belly heavy load pylons is a one-ton bomb.
At the same time as they took off, twelve Canberra bombers also began to take off at the civil aviation airport in Zhaosheng Province, and the transport planes transporting fuel and ammunition did not arrive in time because of the weather, so the fuel and ammunition of these bombers were pieced together from other aircraft. Unlike those bombers that hang ordinary aerial bombs, these bombers cannot be discarded even if the bombs are not used up, after all, this is an expensive laser-guided bomb, even if the Ming army is rich, it cannot be wasted, fortunately, the special enhanced pylons ensure the safety of this.
At this time, the radar on the Georgia also detected the Kunlun, and the two sides were only 100 kilometers apart at this time, but there was still a 30-kilometer wide land in between, and Kasatonov almost immediately made a decision that could be called absolutely that he directly ordered the carrier-based attack aircraft to take off. There were twenty-four carrier-based versions of the Il-10 on board on this aircraft carrier, and it turned out to be a complete mistake to take these attack aircraft on this voyage. If it was twenty-four Yak-25s, maybe the situation would have been better. In that case, just let them out. If you can hit even one bomb on the Kunlun, it will be enough to save a little face.
So immediately after that, twenty-four Il-10 quickly rose into the air, without fighter cover, in order to avoid being detected by the Ming army's radar, all of them flew at ultra-low altitude, in fact, it was already dawn at this time, although it was not yet completely dawn, but it was also guaranteed to be able to fly close to the sea surface. After all, an aircraft like the Il-10 has a cruising speed of more than 300 kilometers.
However, from the fighter jets that have been exposed to the sun at high altitude, it is difficult to see these small planes that are almost integrated with the sea surface below, and the Tiger Shark's airborne radar only ensures that it can find targets such as warships on the clash background of the sea surface, and has the detection capability of the Il-10. As a result, although the two sides staggered dozens of kilometers apart, the Tiger Shark group did not find these Il-10 who were preparing to bomb the Kunlun, and for the Ming pilots on these planes, they only thought about going to fight the Georgia at this time.
"Enemy aircraft spotted!"
When the Tiger Shark group was less than 50 kilometers away from the Georgia, a group of small points of light suddenly appeared on their onboard radar screen. Immediately after that, Zhao Peng, the captain of the Kunlun carrier-based aircraft group, heard a shout on the radio.
This is the last ten Yak-25 on the Georgia.
"Liu Yu, the six of you solve them. The rest of the men come with me, target the Georgia! ”
Zhao Peng said immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yu, the leader of his first squadron, led six Tiger Sharks with air-to-air missiles to attack the Soviet fighters.
Unlike the Air Force's older fighter-bombers, the Tiger Shark is much more automated, including the function of the laser indication pod has been integrated into the fire control system, which can be controlled directly from the joystick. It is even possible to use the radar's sighting system to aim, as in modern fighters, and all the pilots need to do is fine-tune according to the images obtained on the screen, so that they no longer need to venture into the range of Soviet shipborne anti-aircraft fire, and can easily drop bombs directly at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the tiger shark that began to drop bombs in the sky overhead with a telescope, Kasatonov was stupid, how to fight like this? Such a height can barely be reached except for a 100-mm anti-aircraft gun, and all other small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns have become decorations, which are of no use at all, even if the single-barreled eight-five-millimeter anti-aircraft guns on the fast-class destroyers can hit such a height to the limit, but there are only a few 100-mm anti-aircraft guns in his entire fleet?
There are twelve guns on the Nevsky, but only six can be used because of the firing range problem, and there are twenty-four guns on the Georgia itself, but only sixteen can be used for firing at Ming fighters, which means that he has a total of twenty-eight anti-aircraft guns, which can provide protection for the aircraft carrier. At this time, these 28 anti-aircraft guns were indeed raising the elevation angle to the limit, desperately firing at the Tiger Shark group hovering overhead, but at such an altitude, it really took luck to hit a target with shells at a speed of thousands of kilometers per hour.
But the Ming army didn't need luck, they only needed technology, two Tiger Sharks with laser-guided pods were responsible for irradiation, and the other 22 fighters dived at a large angle, at a height of nearly 10,000 meters, each dropped a one-ton laser-guided bomb at the same time, and then pulled up and climbed away from the Soviet fleet's 100-millimeter anti-aircraft artillery attack distance.
The bomb, which fell in a near-vertical position, instantly received the laser reflected from the deck of the Georgia, and after slightly adjusting the wings, it whistled down with precision.
The Georgia twisted its huge body desperately, dancing on the surface of the sea and walking in exaggerated zigzags, but it was useless, 45,000 tons, more than 200 meters long, it would not be as simple as a dozen steering wheels in a car on the road. Even if it turned as much as possible, it even tilted its body in an exaggerated attitude, and it did not complete its zigzag in the dozens of seconds of flight time of the bomb, while the beam of light on the illuminator hovering in the sky was always locked on its deck, like an invisible line pulling the bomb down.
Soon, the first bomb slammed into the beveled deck of the aircraft carrier with a piercing whistling sound.
Because the hull of the ship was so tilted that Kasatonov had to hold on to a handrail next to him, he could even clearly feel the sound of heavy bombs hitting the flight deck.
The high-quality steel plate more than ten centimeters thick was pierced by the huge impact force, and the slender bomb instantly drilled into the hangar below, and then turned into a terrifying fire demon that suddenly exploded, and in the earth-shattering explosion, the violent force blasted the flight deck into the sky from below like a crushing crater rock, and then the unrestrained flames followed up to the sky.
Kasatonov subconsciously exclaimed.
But at the same time, a series of the same impacts continued to come like hailstones, and the next moment the world in front of him was completely a sea of fire.
"Mah, it's still a big bomb!"
Zhao Peng, who was in the sky, looked at the six fire balls rising from the deck of the Georgia with interest and said.
It should be said that the Georgia's struggle is still useful, of the twenty-two one-ton bombs dropped by the Tiger Shark group in the first round, only six finally hit the aircraft carrier, after all, the laser-guided bombs themselves also have a certain error, not to mention that they are high-speed maneuvering targets, such a hit rate is already okay, anyway, even if these six bombs, they completely made the Georgia lose its combat capability.
This is a one-ton bomb, not to mention a 45,000-ton aircraft carrier, even a battleship of the same tonnage, and it still has to kneel when it encounters a bomb of this level, in fact, the Georgia at this time looks miserable, the entire flight deck has completely turned into tattered scrap metal, and the huge holes are shocking, fire and smoke are constantly spewing out of these holes, and the deck is full of Soviet sailors running in terror trying to put out the fire.
But the tiger sharks in the sky are not ready to let it go because of this, they still have dozens of 500-kilogram bombs, they can't return with them, right?
"Attention everyone, prepare for the second round of attacks!"
After circling at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, Zhao Peng said.
But at this moment, a large group of light spots suddenly appeared on his radar screen, and the location of these light points was actually ......
At least fifty kilometers behind them.
"Damn, where did this plane come from?"
His scalp tingled and he exclaimed subconsciously.
This is the Soviet carrier-based attack aircraft that began to climb, because the speed was too slow, the Tiger Shark side crippled the Georgia, and the twenty-four Il-10s only began to climb in order to fly over the land in front of them, and when they flew out of the background of the waves on the sea surface, they were immediately invisible in front of the Tiger Shark's airborne radar.
At the same time, on the Kunlun aircraft carrier at the western end of Tomini Bay, the radar also spotted these enemy planes less than forty kilometers away from them.
"Tell Zhao Peng, continue the work of ****, he doesn't need to take care of it here."
Han Yanzong said casually.
Indeed, there is no need to call the Tiger Shark back, it is just twenty-four piston propeller attack aircraft, and in World War II, this may be a huge threat to the aircraft carrier, but for the Kunlun aircraft carrier, this is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning at all.
Because at this moment, on the platform behind the double-barreled 114 mm main guns of the twelve Hanqi-class frigates, the twelve Sea Sparrow anti-aircraft missile launchers rotated at the same time, and the eight missile storage boxes divided into two groups immediately raised their heads upward. In the fire control room, an operator quickly used the radar to lock on to their respective targets, and then pressed the launch button one after another, and the lids of the two launch boxes on each warship flew out, and at the same time, Sea Sparrow ship-to-air missiles sprayed flames from the boxes, and two groups flew to twelve targets under the guidance of the ship's radar. (To be continued.) )
