Chapter 895: The Wind Takes Off
The 31st Tactical Wing, the largest tactical wing in Germany, is also one of the first crisis response forces, that is, once a war breaks out, this tactical wing will be dispatched within a few minutes, after all, the distance between the two sides is too close, and the ability to react quickly must be done. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, this tactical wing always maintains a standing fighter, loaded with all kinds of weapons, and at the same time remains fully fueled, ready to take off to meet the enemy. And their main armament is the fighter-bomber Tornado, which mainly carries ammunition for attack tanks, ready to deal with the rolling armor torrent of the Warsaw Pact at any time!
And now, on the runway, under the wings of the Tornado, mounted Maverick air-to-surface missiles and Sidewinder missiles, are turning on the afterburner and sliding quickly from the runway!
If you take off without an order, you will be suspected of defecting to the enemy! Moreover, both of them thought of a more terrible situation, and their faces suddenly changed greatly.
"Hammer, hammer, stop, no takeoff, no takeoff!" On the radio, the call has begun.
The aircraft received the number 4528 and was none other than the fighter piloted by the pilot nicknamed Hammer.
At this time, in the cockpit of the fighter, the hammer with the oxygen mask skillfully took off, and at the same time adjusted the radio to the public channel, and shouted in English in the channel: "There is a tank unit near the Nerfenich airbase, please immediately retreat and leave our base, otherwise, we will attack!" ”
"Repeat, near Nerfinich Air Base, there is a tank unit, please retreat immediately and leave our base, otherwise, we will attack!" Hammer's words were full of gunpowder, and at this time, the muscles on his face were twisted by the overload during takeoff, but his heart was extremely hot.
The air force of the Federal Republic of Germany is also extremely proud, in the era of World War II, they were an excellent air force, it can be said that the Luftwaffe fought with the air forces of the world, fighting the Soviet Union in the east and Britain in the west, creating a proud record.
And now, they have to endure such humiliation! Their defense ministers have been controlled by the Americans! The news of the grapevine that the United States wants to coerce the German top brass and agree to some of their rude demands!
Over the years, Germany's gas has had enough! Even the Minister of Defense can be imprisoned, is there any hope for this country? Of course there is, just by relying on a hot-blooded warrior like yourself!
What kind of Americans and Britons who care about your grandmother, if they dare to come to the base to make trouble, they will beat you!
With yesterday's incident, the base has been placed under martial law, and an order has been issued to prohibit takeoff, however, Hammer and his weapon operator, bypassing the sentry, quietly got on their own fighters, and were not discovered until the fighters were ignited!
It's a pity that it's too late! With the opening of the afterburner, the two three-rotor RB199 engines burst out with the maximum military thrust of 70 kN, and the Tornado fighter was loaded with ammunition and quickly slid on the runway, and then, the landing gear in the nose left the runway and continued to slide for two seconds, and the main landing gear also left the runway!
The Tornado fighter retracted its landing gear, and at the same time, the arrogant warning sound from the radio was heard all around.
The 5th Regiment of the British Army, a veteran unit of the British Army, participated in the Normandy landings, occupied Berlin with the American army in the final battle, and, after the war, has been stationed in Germany.
As the ace unit of the United Kingdom, the equipment of this unit is also the most advanced, for example, after the development of the Challenger main battle tank, this unit is the first unit in the British Army to be equipped with the Challenger tank! The pride of the British Army, the Challenger is also one of the most advanced main battle tanks in the world.
The 1200 horsepower engine gives the tank unparalleled mobility, and the 120 mm tank gun has surpassed the mainstream 105 mm caliber tank gun of NATO at this time, and the armor of this tank is the Chobham armor that the British have spent many years of hard work to research, and the protection ability is second only to the depleted uranium armor of later generations!
In fact, in history, the Challenger-2 main battle tank was developed in 86 years, almost made out in 87 years, and it was not until the nineties that it began to enter service on a large scale. But now, stimulated by the military strength of the Soviet Union, the American M1 and the German Leopard 2 are significantly ahead of history, so the British tank crews have upgraded their Challenger-1 earlier to the level of the current Challenger-2.
This time, they accepted the order, and it was already a very dangerous act to let the German army continue to operate the Pershing missile when the German army was unstable, especially since the German army also lost a nuclear warhead! In this case, it is necessary for the NATO side to collect these missiles and temporarily keep them in the custody of the NATO side.
When this topic was raised by the United States, the French side remained silent, while the British side took the initiative to undertake this task, and Britain wanted to advance and retreat with the United States! After all, in the Falklands War, the United States had already paid enough for Britain.
Moreover, they came this time, all the way carefully, did not disturb the German people, let alone suffered a bomb attack, they were also strictly ordered, unless absolutely necessary, not to open artillery, their task is to protect those Pershing missiles, not to confront the German army.
It's a pity that this is just their wishful thinking! At this time, the threat coming from the radio made the British regiment commander Eyler angry.
Nima, this is a nose on the face! The Tornado fighter was jointly developed by Britain, Italy and Germany, and Britain was also an important developer among them, and even the engine was developed by Britain. And now, the Germans are actually flying such fighters, shouting at themselves to open fire!
At the same time, Eller also knows that the ground attack capability of the Tornado fighter is very powerful, after all, the goal of this fighter is to restrain the armored torrent of the Warsaw Pact.
The aircraft was equipped with two 27 mm Mauser cannons with a capacity of 188 rounds each. There are also 7 outer pylons, 3 under the fuselage and 2 under each wing. The mounted weapons are diverse, and can be equipped with air-to-surface missiles such as AS.30, Maverick, GBU-15 Sea Hawk and Cormorant for ground attack; ALARM and HARM anti-radiation missiles designed specifically to attack ground-based radars and other facilities; LAU-51A and LR-25 rocket launchers; JP233 anti-airport runway bombs, "paving" laser-guided bombs, "dexterity" bombs, various cluster bombs, deceleration bombs, MK.83 bombs, incendiary bombs, flares, etc.
Even the fuselage pylons can be attached to nuclear bombs!
Among them, the Maverick air-to-surface missile is a perfect match for tanks! And now, this tank unit of our own side really has no effective means of air defense!
Originally, the ground forces were no match for air power, and if the ground forces wanted to be dispatched, they must have absolute air supremacy, and for the NATO forces, they relied very little on ground anti-aircraft firepower, and they mainly relied on their own air power. There was also simply no such huge field air defense as the Soviet army.
Now the British 5th Regiment was faced with such a situation.
What to do? Of course there can be no compromise! Did the Germans still dare to fly fighter planes to bomb their own troops? (To be continued.) )
