Chapter 374: A false alarm
Yang Feng did not guess wrong.
At this time, on the northeast sea 200 kilometers away from Yingtian, two huge bombers were flying towards the city at an altitude of about 100 meters above the sea surface.
This is the Tu-85, which just made its first flight two years ago, and so far only these two Soviet piston propeller bombers have been built, which was originally designed to be the cornerstone of Stalin's strategic nuclear deterrent, but unfortunately because of the development of aviation technology, it can already be eliminated when it begins to put into production, because the updated Tu-95 and Mia-4 are close to completion, and the latter can make its first flight this year.
Shi Darlin, who was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, in order to vent this evil breath that had been held for almost ten years, simply sacrificed these two bombers that were worthless to him.
This was a well-planned attack, taking off from Lushun and flying all the way through Xinhua's airspace, Starlin's bet was that neither the people of the United States nor Comrade Li would meddle in this matter, the former was certain, and the latter was not sure, but it was impossible to risk provoking him, after all, Xinhua was really relying on the Soviet Union and not Yang Feng, and it was obvious that he was right.
Bombers flying at a high altitude of more than 3,000 kilometers all the way descended in altitude before entering Yingtian's air defense identification zone, evaded Yingtian's land-based radar monitoring by virtue of ultra-low-altitude flight, and flew all the way to a distance of more than 100 kilometers from Yingtian to launch an attack.
Under the wings of each of the two Tu-85s, there is a small aircraft that looks much like a miniature version of the MiG-15, with wings with wing knives, a flat tail at the rear, and a nose air intake, but without a pilot's cockpit. This was the first cruising DAO bomb deployed in combat in the Soviet Union. Their own number KS1 comet, NATO number AS1 kennel, high-altitude launch maximum range of more than 100 kilometers, and have radar-guided anti-ship capabilities, can carry a conventional warhead or a 900-kilogram nuclear warhead, Stalin this time is going to use four of these missiles to completely bombard the sky.
"Start climbing. Comrades, for Stalin, for victory, for revenge! ”
Major Korolev, who was in charge of the operation, roughly determined the current position based on the radio signals sent by the navigation stations on Hainan Island and Yogyakarta, and then gave the order to start with a solemn face.
"For revenge!"
The same solemn sound immediately sounded from the other bomber, and the two giant bombers began to climb slowly, while turning on the on-board radar to search for the exact location of Yingtian.
"Discover the target."
Almost at the same time. Three nearby air defense ships, the ground-based radar station in Yingtian, and the dozen or so Ming fighters searching for the two bombers in the sky immediately resounded with all kinds of exclamations.
"Shoot down!"
Yang Feng did not hesitate to give the order.
On the destroyer Xuda, 60 kilometers away, two spiral arm missile launchers immediately rotated, and then two long-range ship-to-air missiles of the Zhentian-1 type, which were on standby, sprayed flames and slammed straight at the target. Just after the launch of these two missiles was completed, the spiral arms of the two launchers were automatically erected vertically upwards, and the two same missiles in the lower magazine were instantly raised. Immediately after that, the spiral arm was tilted again to the launch angle, and the second batch of two missiles flew out after it. Then the spiral arm was erected again, and in the same way, the third batch of missiles was launched, and in just a few seconds, the fourth batch was launched.
In more than ten seconds, eight extended-range earthquake missiles with booster rockets were launched in this way, and under the guidance of the shipboard radar on the Xuda, they attacked one of the four missiles in the same way. Straight down on two Soviet bombers at 2.5 times the speed of sound.
At the same time, the six nearest land-based Tiger Shark fighters also turned on the afterburner and killed them at a high speed of Mach 14.
At this time, the two Tu-85s were still climbing, and their airborne radars had already received a chaotic echo from Yingtian 150 kilometers away, but such a distance wanted to ensure that the Comet missiles hit Yingtian. You have to climb to an altitude of 8,000 meters. The thrust of this cruising DAO bomb engine is very small, and it cannot maneuver all the way like a modern cruising DAO bomb, and if you want to hit a distance of 150 kilometers, you must use a high-altitude ballistic flight to fly, but it is not easy for the large and bulky Tu-85 to climb from a height of 100 meters to 8,000 meters.
Of course, it is not only a matter of height, but also the use of liquid fuel, which must be refueled through the fuel tanks on the bomber before starting the missile.
"Enemy planes!"
The radarman on Korolev's plane exclaimed.
"Keep climbing!"
Korolev said with an expressionless face.
As the hands of the altimeter kept turning, the Tiger Shark group on their radar screen was also approaching, but soon Korolev's face showed a smile, because he knew that he had won, these fighters could not arrive before he launched the missile, as for whether he could escape after launching the missile, he was no longer interested, as long as he could launch the missile, then he would be famous for a long time.
"Comrades, let those Imperial Righteous people taste the taste of the proletarian Jie-level iron fist, the missiles are ready to be launched!"
At the moment when the altitude reached 8,000 meters, he waved his fist and shouted without hesitation, and at the same time, the accompanying security agency officials began to take out the key, open the safe with him, and then activate the nuclear bomb fuse through the code, this thing is not something that can be used by anyone casually, in fact, it takes three people's keys to take out the password.
But at this moment, two eye-catching white tracks suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and before he could react, he had already reached another Tu-85.
"Damn, where did the missiles come from, ah..."
Immediately after that, the screams of the pilot on the Tu-85 were heard on his radio, and almost simultaneously two fireballs exploded in the sky, and the Tu-85 shook violently and began to fall downward.
"Missiles!"
The screams of his own pilots rang out beside him, and in the sky outside, six identical tracks were coming straight at him, four of which were clearly aimed at him.
"Launch the missile!"
Korolev screamed like madness and threw himself at the launch button, despite the fact that the missile had not yet finished aiming, and even the fuse was not activated, and the moment the sky-shattering missile outside hit him, he pressed the launch button of the comet missile.
"Damn, enemy planes launch two missiles!"
On the Tiger Shark fighter plane that was about to enter the attack distance in the distance, Yang Lin, the pilot of the Ming Army who arrived first, looked at the two small planes flying out from under the wings of the Tu-85, and immediately exclaimed into the radio.
Ying Tian's Ming Army General Staff was in chaos in an instant.
"What's the panic? Missile launches haven't already hit! ”
Yuan Feng Yang sat on his generalissimo throne and drank tea, and his face sank and he shouted.
As soon as he saw his posture, everyone in the command hall instantly calmed down, that is, what can the missile do if it is launched, can't it be brought down? On the air defense positions that were already in a state of combat readiness, one after another Eagle missile launchers immediately rotated, and then one radar after another locked onto the target, preparing to launch the missiles as soon as they entered the firing range.
However, at this moment, Yang Lin's obviously much more relaxed voice sounded on the radio in the command hall again: "It's okay, this missile is very rotten, it's not as fast as my plane, it's already shot down, and I'm aiming for the second one." ”
Well, the Comet missile is actually not much stronger than the V1, the fastest speed is only Mach 0.9, and such a speed can be forced in front of the propeller fighter, and the Tiger Shark with a little Mach 4 and an air-to-air missile will be closed. Yang Lin sat in the cockpit of the tiger shark, humming a song leisurely, then turned to the back of the last comet, locked on to the target through the infrared sight, and then pressed the missile launch button, a Thunderbolt air-to-air missile flew out and caught up with the comet in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, this terrifying nuclear missile fell with billowing smoke.
Almost at the same time, at an altitude of 30,000 meters, the invisible Voyager also quietly left.
Yang Yuan's pretending to be as steady as Mount Tai is of course not without reason, generally when there is no other mission, the Voyager is hovering over Yingtian, even if these two Tu-85s are not discovered, Stalin's nuclear plan will not be successful, because this spacecraft is equipped with a high-power laser, as long as it is a target that poses a threat to the sky, it will be directly shot down when it enters a range of 100 kilometers, not to mention the primary version of the comet DAO bomb, even if the ICBM comes over, it will still be shot down.
However, the Ming army was able to solve this crisis with its own ability, which was still very gratifying to Yang Feng.
Looking at the cheering subordinates in the command hall, Yang Yuan Shou sat there with a teacup and sinisterly pondered how to retaliate.
"Those four missiles didn't explode, did they?"
This guy asked Wu Zurong, who was standing beside him.
"No, I don't know why, but this kind of nuclear bomb has a very strict launch procedure, otherwise it will be used by people with ulterior motives, and it will provoke a nuclear war, and the first Tu-85 did not have time to launch at all, although the second one was launched, but it is estimated that it should be launched in a hurry, and those procedures cannot be completed in a short time, so there is no explosion."
Wu Zurong said.
"Where did they fall, and what about the depth?"
"Shallow water, water depth within 100 meters."
Wu Zurong said without even looking at the charts that although the vast majority of the South China Sea is a deep water area, the west of the line from Saigon to Brunei has become a very shallow sea, with an average water depth of only a few tens of meters.
"Arrange for someone to fish it out!"
Yang Feng said.
"That's right, as long as we fish it out, we'll have a nuclear bomb."
Wu Zurong also thought of this, and immediately said in surprise.
"No, fish them out and throw them back!"
Yang said lightly. (To be continued.) )
