Chapter 372: Escape
Twenty-four Sea Sparrows, or as they are called by their new name, Ziyan ship-to-air missiles, powered by powerful dual-thrust engines, slammed into targets at twice the speed of multisonic speed.
This missile is actually a hybrid of the Sea Sparrow F and the earlier E, the engine is the Hercules engine of the F, but the internal electronics and fire control are all E, after all, this thing is produced by the Ming Dynasty, and the transition to the late seventies is too ruthless, and it is still acceptable at the end of the sixties. Therefore, the performance of this missile is not good, many fire control systems have to rely on manual, and basically do not have the ability to intercept anti-ship missiles, and can only attack one target at a time, in short, it is a missile that is barely okay in Yang Feng's opinion.
But......
The Il-10, which is used to fight with a cruising speed of only 360 kilometers and a maximum speed of only 500 kilometers, can be said to be an artifact.
Before the Soviet pilots could react, the two missiles hit the Il-10 at the front, and the radio proximity fuse detonated the warhead charge at a very close range, and the force of the explosion suddenly spread outward from a circle of metal rods around it.
These metal rods are connected from end to end, just like a folding ruler, in the process of spreading into a circle, also relying on the power of the explosion, spinning at high speed to crash into the target, all the metal rods that are stretching are combined into a ring chainsaw, the sharp front end suddenly hit the Il-10 fuselage, the force of rotation drives this high-speed chainsaw, and instantly cuts into it like sawing wood.
This is what anti-aircraft missiles and air-to-air missiles are most accustomed to, continuous rod warheads. Cutting the chain of death of the plane.
This Il-10 immediately turned into a burning wreckage and fell.
Look at this horrible scene. Then look at the dozens of eye-catching trails that swarm like wolves in front of you. All the Il-10s immediately scattered in horror, but it was useless, all their whereabouts were monitored by the radar of the twelve Hanqi-class frigates, and one frigate kept an eye on one Il-10, sending new commands to the missiles through radio waves, guiding them to continue crashing into their respective targets at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, eleven flames exploded in the sky.
All missiles hit.
If it is against jet fighters, it will definitely not have such a good effect, after all, the maximum launch height of such missiles is limited. But a propeller attack aircraft, which is slow and has an equally slow rate of climb, is a complete tragedy in front of this thing.
In this way, the Soviets lost half of their attack planes at once, but fortunately, the Kunlun in the distance had already appeared on the sea level, and the Soviet pilots of the remaining twelve attack planes rushed straight to the target with hatred.
But at this time, a second round of missiles was launched.
"You see, the era of dive bombers is completely over."
Han Yanzong looked at the Il-10 that had been blown up in the air one after another, and said with a smile to the chief of staff beside him.
Indeed, there will never be another aircraft carrier battle of World War II, those who descended from a height of three thousand meters at an almost vertical angle, under the attack of countless small and medium-caliber naval guns. With a roar of death, it dived all the way to a height of six hundred meters, and then dropped bombs almost close to the mast of the battleship. Blood-pumping dive bombardment. That is already history, the era of precision guidance has begun, the United States is developing their radio command air-to-surface-air-to-ship missiles, and the Soviets have also begun to test their radar-guided cruiser missiles.
Of course, the most majestic thing now is the guided bombs of the Ming Empire.
The attack on the Georgian aircraft carrier was over, and just as the Kunlun formation had blown up all the Il-10, the Tiger Shark group dropped more than a dozen laser-guided bombs on the aircraft carrier, completely blowing it into a pile of burning scrap metal. But what is amazing is that this aircraft carrier that inherited the Prussians is indeed very strong, it has not sunk even after being bombed like this, and even the power system has not been fatally damaged, and it can still run at a speed of twenty knots.
Of course, this was mainly due to the fact that the Ming fighters did not have torpedoes, and although the explosion on the sea surface looked ferocious, the two layers of armor on the flight deck and the hangar deck, coupled with the huge size of 45,000 tons, well offset the power of the Ming bombs.
Tiger Shark fighters stopped attacking.
Because by this time the Soviet fleet had sailed out of the Makassar Strait, there was no longer enough fuel for the Tiger Sharks to carry out the attack on the sea, and there was no nearby airfield for landing, after shooting down the last Yak-25, which was still struggling to support, all the Tiger Sharks turned around and returned home. After they left, Canberra, which arrived shortly afterwards, bombed the Soviet fleet again, sank a destroyer and damaged the Nevsky, but had to stop the attack because of another storm.
So far, the heavily damaged Georgia, the wounded Nevsky, and three destroyers finally escaped from the Ming army's attack range.
"That's the way the weather is there, it's always raining, it's raining, it's better now, and if it's the rainy season, there's not a day when it doesn't rain."
Yang Feng said to Johnson.
The latter was obviously not satisfied, although the Canberra bomber, who was in charge of the attack at the end, had taken pictures of the Soviet fleet, and had been sent here by this time, and it appeared that the Georgia had indeed been bombed terribly. With his level, he can also judge that even with the industrial strength of the United States, it is estimated that it will take two years to completely repair this aircraft carrier, and in fact, if it is blown up like that, it should be directly sunk into the sea as a reef when it is put into the United States.
But the problem is that it hasn't sunk yet, and you promised us to send it to the bottom of the sea.
"Oops, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, my bomb is good, but it can't be used in the rain, we're friends, I'm not afraid to tell you this, it's similar to the Thunderbolt air-to-air missile, it's all about hot things, aren't you also working on the Sidewinder missile? The principle is similar, but heavy rain can have a serious impact on its sensing system, even degrading to the level of unguided bombs.
But don't worry, I have ordered the Huaxia Yanhuang 2nd ship to attack, and now the Soviets no longer have carrier-based aircraft, and the Georgia is only 20 knots, so it will definitely be able to intercept them in the South China Sea, and then a cannon shell will be bombarded into the bottom of the sea and pulled down. ”
Yang Feng said.
Johnson knows that this guy is there again and again, he knows the infrared guidance of the Sidewinder air-to-air missile, but the bomb of the Ming army is definitely not infrared guidance, and he also knows that the infrared guidance of the bombing of warships is barely reasonable, and the artillery positions of the bombing people in Goryeo can't also be infrared guidance, right? Could it be that those cannons firing also provide guidance signals? Even so, where do you find infrared signals in the Tianzhu bombing bridge?
But the matter has come to this point, it's useless to talk too much, and although the Georgia has not sunk, it is actually not much different from sinking, and it is difficult to say whether there is repair value, at least in two years, the United States does not need to think about it. And Vladivostok did not have a dock sufficient for its repairs, and if the Soviets wanted to repair it, they had to build the infrastructure first, so that it would be good if it could be opened in three years, and as for three years later, the crusaders would have been in service long ago.
Of course, Yang Feng was no longer interested in caring what he thought, anyway, it was interesting enough for him to do this step, as for the interception of the Huaxia Yanhuang fleet......
That has to be able to be stopped, if you can't find the Soviet fleet, of course, you can't intercept it.
"Führer, the cruiser Dzerzhinsky of the Soviets surrendered."
At this time, Hu Hao smiled and walked over and said.
Yes, Dzerzhinsky surrendered.
This newest Soviet cruiser, in fact, did not engage in a real battle after breaking away from the formation, and they had nowhere else to escape, although next to it was the Autonomous Republic of Sulawesi of the Dutch-Indian Federation, but in fact it was also Yang Feng's territory. I wanted to find a Ming city to bombard it to show the heroism of the Red Navy, but the nearby desolate coast was full of people, and after a few hours of wandering in the wind and rain, Captain Andreyevich and his officers and men were all deflated.
After the rain stopped and a large number of Ming bombers appeared overhead, and even the battle-class destroyers and missile boats at Shohito Naval Base appeared, the Soviets on this lone cruiser finally made the last choice, they raised the white flag on the mast, becoming the fifth Soviet ship to surrender to the Ming army.
And immediately after that, another exciting news reached Yingtian, the helicopter responsible for searching and rescuing the Soviet sailors who had fallen into the water at sea fished out a senior general of the Soviet carrier-based aviation, a major general.
"Pokryshkin? Isn't this the second ace pilot of the USSR? By the way, what about the No. 3 ace pilot we caught last time? Dead or not? I remember the last time we exchanged prisoners with Tianzhu, it seems that we didn't exchange him, right? ”
Yang Feng said happily as he looked at the captive's name.
"No, he's still in our prisoner of war camp."
Hu said with a smile.
The Ming army's prisoner of war camp was actually a coolie camp, most of which were Soviet prisoners captured in previous wars, and of course some Japanese nationals, and the specific location was in Changning Province, which was an open-pit coal mine in Central Borneo before. It's not abuse, they eat there to be full, and those who smoke smoke also smoke, but they don't pay their wages, because the Ming and the Soviet Union are still at war, and the Soviet government has no Ming prisoners, so there is no exchange of prisoners of war, since there is no exchange of prisoners of war, then they have to be coolies all the time.
"Then send them over too! When Starling is dead, when will it be said. ”
Yang Feng thought about it and said, he decided to keep this group of people for Bai Jiahei as a gift. (To be continued.) )
