Chapter 605: Black Hawk Falls
The huge Allied bomber group, avoiding the airspace of the war, continued to fly towards the territory of China.
To the peace of mind of these bomber pilots, the Chinese Air Force behind did not catch up, and there did not seem to be any interceptor planes of the Chinese Air Force in front.
Perhaps, this air raid can reach its destination smoothly.
This is the most ardent expectation of all bomber crews, because there are not many escort combat planes in their fleet, and once they encounter the Chinese Air Force's blockade, they can only rely on their own self-protection weapons to block the Chinese fighters.
However, if you want to load an anti-aircraft machine gun on a bomber, you will inevitably have a one-sided result against a high-speed jet fighter. Therefore, many crew members are praying to God that it is better for Chinese fighters not to appear.
Perhaps their prayers were really heard by God, and God was really taking care of them. When they saw the coastline of the Chinese mainland from afar, there were still no Chinese fighters in the sky.
However, just when these Allied pilots were in their hearts, a scene appeared in front of them that stunned them.
In the Chinese coastline that came into view, countless flames suddenly rose, and missiles dragged long tail flames and slammed into the bombers in the sky.
Missiles, this thing is not unfamiliar to these pilots, because the United States also has missiles, but when they see the missiles rushing towards them, everyone's heads appear blank for a moment. Is it okay for missiles to hit planes?
Yes, because the next scene confirms this very well.
Anti-aircraft missiles lifted into the air, except for almost half of which directly hit enemy aircraft. All other missiles exploded in the swarm. Nearly 100 kilograms of warhead exploded in the air, and the fragmentation shrapnel inside the warhead was sprayed in all directions under the kinetic energy generated by the explosion.
The missile warhead, with a radius of more than 100 meters, is an absolute nightmare existence for these groups of bombers.
The four-shot shrapnel easily penetrated the bomber fuselage within a radius of 150 meters, whether it was a super air fortress, a flying fortress, or a heavy mountain bomber, even the peacemaker could not withstand such dense shrapnel.
A missile worth tens of thousands of dollars, as long as it can shoot down a bomber. It's a big profit. Especially bombers like the Super Flying Fortress and the Peacemaker. The next one, even if ten missiles are wasted, is a big profit.
And in the Red Alert base, the only airspace air defense weapon. Patriot missiles. Radar that is as advanced as time and space. Basically, there will be no situation where several missiles go to hit a plane. With the mutual cooperation of computers and fire control radars, all launched missiles have found their own value.
Just a wave of attacks. Outside the port of Tianjin, nearly 100 Patriot anti-aircraft missiles are placed here. Even in later generations, it is difficult to have a precedent for the simultaneous deployment of nearly 100 anti-aircraft missiles in one place. And with the help of the Red Alert base, the anti-aircraft missile positions are only worth some ores.
Hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles were lifted into the air, and at least 200 bombers were killed. In addition to the dozens of bombers that were directly hit by missiles, many bombers were destroyed by shrapnel. Many Allied crews were shredded by the shrapnel that pierced through the plane, even before it fell.
It's just a little appetizer, and when the first wave of missiles starts to explode, the second wave of missiles also rises into the air, and then the third.
For every Patriot anti-aircraft missile, there are six anti-aircraft missiles. And these six anti-aircraft missiles were all fired in less than a minute. Dense bomber fleets, full of targets, anti-aircraft missile crews below, just mechanized press the launch button.
When all the missiles were fired, these missilemen, which were picked up by the Hongqi-1 portable anti-aircraft missile, ran out of the missile position and entered the anti-aircraft bunker.
At the same time, the air was already shrouded in the smoke of missile explosions, and bombers continued to roll thick smoke and fall towards the sea below, and some seriously injured bombers could not control the slow lowering of the altitude.
A huge fleet of aircraft, thousands of bombers, in just one minute, there are less than two hundred intact ones left. The originally dense fleet of aircraft has become sparse. And the escort fighters in the bomber group also lost most of them. The remaining nearly 100 fighters have already rushed towards the missile positions below.
They could no longer withstand another round of attacks, and they didn't need orders, and these experienced fighter pilots all pressed down on the nose of the plane. They want to destroy these weapons that terrify them.
Hundreds of fighter planes rushed violently into the anti-aircraft missile positions on the ground, and pilots with good eyes could already see clearly what the missile positions looked like. The huge box and the radar panel, looking up at the sky. Needless to say, all the pilots could see that this was the culprit who had caused their huge casualties.
Just as the thumbs of these pilots were about to press the cannon launch button, many Chinese soldiers carrying "bazookas" suddenly stood on the ground, and then, there was no more.
These fighters that swooped down at low altitudes, one after another, exploded in volleys, and less than a third of the fighters were able to rise into the air again.
However, what really makes people desperate is not the endless attacks of China, but the appearance of a large number of Chinese fighters in the sky, although these fighters are only China's second-generation fighters, Warhawk-2, but the result of this local airspace battle is already doomed.
Fifteen minutes later, a large number of planes rushed to the place where a major air battle took place over the Yellow Sea. The Allied aircraft group, which could still rely on the number of entanglements with Chinese fighters, has been broken after the addition of the new forces. The Chinese fighters who came to support not only wiped out the last bomber group, but also directly exchanged fire with the Allied propeller fighters after coming to this airspace. Let those Warhawk-3s be liberated.
The Warhawk-3 was quick to support the Black Hawk fighters below, and when the number ratio changed further, the Allied pilots suddenly felt a surge of pressure. Especially those pilots who fly Sabre jet fighters and orange blossom fighters are under a lot of pressure.
The previous entanglement with the Black Hawk fighters could still advance and retreat in an orderly manner by virtue of the numerical advantage. However, after the Warhawk-3, whose performance was no worse than that of the Sabre, joined the warband, the result of the air battle was one-sided.
With the support of the Warhawk-3. Zhao Kai and the others completely freed their hands, and with strong power, the maneuvering flyer quickly accelerated to subsonic speed, and soon got rid of the saggers that were trailing. And the formation of those sabers was also disrupted by the Warhawk-3.
When the Black Hawk comes back after making a quick turn, the performance of the Black Hawk really comes into play. If it weren't for the fact that they were trying to hold off these jets, they wouldn't have been so entangled with these Sabres. Now that reinforcements have arrived, these Black Hawk fighters have finally been freed.
At this time, a large area of aircraft wreckage and many airbag boats were already floating on the sea. On these dinghies, there are pilots on both sides. Not far away. One Chinese destroyer and two frigates. It's already moving towards here.
In the sky, planes continue to fall on the sea, and pilots who can successfully parachute can pick up a life, and those who cannot parachute and are buried with fighters. Naturally, there is only the end of the crash and the death.
At the same time. And not just over the Yellow Sea. From the skies over the northeast to the Ryukyu Islands, fierce air battles broke out at the same time. The Allies can be considered an all-or-nothing gamble. Countless planes converged in the Far East, and China did its best.
Whether it is the navy's land-based aviation or carrier-based aviation, as long as it is in the sea area where the war is engaged, all of them are engaged in battle, and the main force is exhausted. And the same is true of the Air Force, even if it is the second-line Warhawk-2 fighter unit, it is all dispatched. The two sides have gathered more than 10,000 planes, and you are always in the heat of battle in the air.
Several warplanes were shot down every second, both Allied and Chinese.
The Allied pilots seemed to have forgotten the main purpose of the trip, and when the news of the destruction of the bomber group came, the only thing left in the air battle was the red-eyed two.
Masao Yamaguchi, as one of the ace pilots of the Japanese Air Force, naturally has his own pride. But no matter how proud he was, looking at the Black Hawk fighters in front of him that had escaped from his pursuit again and again, he only had a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. The fighter he piloted was already a jet fighter representing the strongest force in the Japanese air, and such a proud fighter could not even catch up with the tail of the opponent's plane, which is how Masao Yamaguchi could swallow this breath.
Although he had used all his tricks and his wingman to constantly use cannons to limit the flight trajectory of the Black Hawk fighter, the other party was able to quickly get rid of him.
For the sake of the black eagle in front of him, Masao Yamaguchi has already paid too much price. The eight fighters that were originally eyeing this Black Hawk fighter are now only themselves and their wingmen. The other six orange blossom fighters were all killed by the other party after breaking away from the pursuit.
This is a shame that cannot be washed away, as if it were the feelings of the entire Japanese people when Japan was defeated in World War II.
Although it is only himself and his wingman now, Masao Yamaguchi has not thought of giving up. However, in the pursuit again, after seeing that his cannon was about to lock the opponent, the Black Hawk fighter in front of him disappeared in front of his eyes again, and then accelerated, a climb and rolled, and a few shots killed the wingman next to him.
At this moment, there are only Masao Yamaguchi and the Black Hawk fighter in front of him.
"Yaga!" The cursing on his lips never stopped for a moment, and when he saw the Black Hawk fighter plane that appeared in front of him again, Masao Yamaguchi felt that he was about to explode.
At this time, an idea suddenly flashed through Masao Yamaguchi's mind, and soon Masao Yamaguchi's face became serious, and he did not hesitate to push the power of the plane to the maximum, and the speed was also to step to the end.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, onboard!" Masao Yamaguchi's eyes burst into boundless madness, staring at the Black Hawk fighter in front of him.
Because the speed exceeded the limit of the aircraft, the plane began to shake violently, and the fighter plane, which had gained great power in a short time, soon approached the speed of sound. The Black Hawk fighter in front of him had a speed of only a few hundred kilometers per hour, and the distance between the two sides was not far, and this distance was also rapidly approaching.
The pilot of the Black Hawk fighter in front also saw the enemy plane that suddenly accelerated through the rearview mirror in the cabin, but before he could reflect it, the enemy plane was only approaching at high speed. At the last second, the pilot saw that there was no time to dodge, so he had no choice but to pull up the ejection seat.
In the sky, a violent explosion suddenly erupted, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke appeared in the sky, and in the gunsmoke, an umbrella flower was slowly falling.
This is the first Black Hawk fighter plane to be destroyed since the war, if it weren't for the distance and defenselessness, otherwise no matter how desperate Tachibana tried, it would basically not be able to hit the Black Hawk fighter. Because in terms of instant acceleration, the Black Hawk is enough to shake off the orange blossom for several streets.
However, this is just a small scene in the air battle, the two sides that hit the red eye, broke out with infinite killing opportunities, and they were always full of momentum without you. Even Americans rarely see scenes of fighting to the death.
However, this air battle is only half of the mission of this air attack, and the Allies have another means of attack.
When the results of the defeat of the forward bomber fleet reached the Allied Far East Command, another American weapon took off. A large number of Minuteman-1 dragged a long tail flame and flew towards the territory of China.
This is a ballistic missile that imitates the German V-2, and you don't even want to intercept such a new guy like an interceptor plane.
And because of the range, these Minuteman-1 missiles have no way to directly attack places like Hanjing, but there are still many valuable targets in the three northeastern provinces.
Like Germany, the Minuteman-1 missile does not achieve precision guidance at all, but only a very basic inertial navigation, and the range of this missile is much closer than that of the V-2. Of course, it is enough to strike at the northern regions of China.
When these missiles came to the sky over the northeast, the AWACS aircraft also detected these missiles, and the radar of the Patriot missile position below also detected missiles approaching at high speed.
Whether the Patriot anti-aircraft missile can intercept a ballistic missile is unknown.
However, the anti-aircraft missile positions on the ground still launched anti-aircraft missiles. The missiles that lifted off were quickly concentrated in the same direction, and then the tip of the needle was on the wheat mang.
When intercepted, nearly 100 Minuteman-1s and anti-aircraft missiles met and exploded directly in the air.
However, the probability of interception is not very high, because the Allied side launched hundreds of such missiles, and the probability of interception is less than 20%. And this probability is the result of launching an anti-aircraft missile after the radar has already detected the opponent's missile.
From this point of view, it seems that the probability of the United States intercepting the SAM missile is higher than that of the Gulf War in the future. In fact, first, the current missiles are not as advanced as the SAM missiles at that time. Second, the anti-aircraft missile positions and early warning planes at this time were on high alert, which was different from the United States in the Gulf War. Third, this air defense missile facility in China was directly manufactured by the Red Alert base, and its performance is very advanced.
In fact, the two are in different time and space, and there is no comparison.
Although this is not like the era of intercontinental missile warhead nuclear strikes in later times, as long as not all of the 100 missiles are intercepted, even if one warhead is dropped, it will be a failure. However, the remaining 300 or 400 missiles, even if the warheads of the warheads are not very good, still cause a certain amount of damage to many large cities and industries in northeast China.
These more than 500 Minuteman-1 missiles have been produced by the United States since they were developed. Fortunately, the missiles did not seem to disappoint the Allies, and caused some casualties to China. (To be continued......)
