Chapter 63 063 H-5 Defection Storm
Even if the navy didn't have the money to buy a new Shenfei skua, Qi Yiming would pay out of his own pocket to place an order and hand it over to the navy. He is very confident that the days of the country's embarrassment will not be too long, three or four years at most, and he believes that with the comprehensive and early launch of reform and opening up, the country's financial situation will improve considerably.
The test flight of the new aircraft is still carried out by experienced Red Alert pilots, although the skills of the Skua fighter are all from the system, it is logically said to be a mature model, but this one is after all an assembled version of the Shenfei, although there is no need to test the flight from beginning to end like a newly developed aircraft, but it is still necessary to carry out a normal factory test flight.
After the pilot boarded the aircraft, the power compartment cover in the tail section was opened, the engine nozzle was pointed diagonally downward, and at the same time the lift engines on both sides of the air intake tract also opened the covers. When it was ready, the J-8V turned on its engines, and orange-red flames appeared in the vent, and the fighter plane only slid on the ground for about 80 meters before leaving the ground and leaping into the air.
Li Jing, commander of the HNA Command, looked at the eyebrows and said: "The short vertical take-off and landing fighter is the most suitable for our HNA, there is no need for good airport conditions, and the aircraft is easy to hide and transfer, not to mention that this fighter can still be on the ship, I think we will not be willing to exchange the J-10." ”
Of course, the J-8V can't do the J-10, but it has some characteristics, and the J-10 naturally doesn't have it.
Liu Huaqing nodded, and asked Qi Yiming again: "Can this fighter still take off vertically, so that it can't even use a runway." ”
"That's right, the J-8V's vertical take-off and landing capability can be said to be the best among modern fighters of this type, but in the same way, the fuel consumed for vertical take-off will be very large, and the impact on the combat range of the aircraft is more obvious, but if it is a small-scale operation, such as operations within three or four hundred kilometers, vertical take-off is not a problem." Qi Yiming nodded in affirmation.
The J-8V, which is being tested in the sky, has done several maneuvers, such as climbing at high angles of attack, rolling, diving, etc., and it does not look worse than the agility of ordinary fighters, and it is much stronger than the original J-6, J-7 and other old fighters.
When everyone in HNA watched the performance of this newly manufactured fighter with satisfaction, Qi Yiming's mobile phone rang, he took it out, saw that the indicator light was actually red, hurriedly opened it, and then said to the left and right: "An Air Force H-5 has deviated from the normal training trajectory, and it should be heading to South Korea." ”
Liu Huaqing was stunned for a moment, and then his face became ugly, but fortunately, it was not the people of the HNA who had the accident, but his own people from the Air Force, and he immediately said to the accompanying staff officers: "Give the Air Force a call and verify the situation with them." ”
Before the 90s, dramas like PLA and Guojun happened from time to time. The earliest can even be traced back to the period of the Liberation War, and until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, such aircraft uprisings are still often seen. Qi Yiming didn't realize this problem at first, but now that he thinks about it, he is a little afraid. The factor that directly prompted the defection of pilots on both sides of the strait was that both sides promulgated incentives for pilots to revolt, such as the KMT side, which rewarded thousands of taels of gold for almost every pilot who passed. In addition, some pilots had personal quality problems, or had various conflicts with the troops and families, and they defected with fighter planes as soon as they gritted their teeth.
This situation is actually quite normal, and it is not surprising at all. However, for Qi Yiming, it is a particularly headache, because he has now equipped the Air Force and HNA with a large number of advanced fighters, this time it is a H-5, that is, the Soviet Union's Il-28, an old-fashioned model, but if one day I don't know which pilot in the road has a convulsion, driving a J-10 or Flying Leopard to be a "**** righteous man", although Qi Yiming does not believe that someone in Taiwan can copy it, but the loss on his side is also great.
First of all, the performance of the fighter plane has been looked at, and some important techniques may also be transmitted to other countries through the unsuccessful puppet regime, and in addition, the electromagnetic spectrum, friend or foe identifier and other important components of the fighter plane are detected, and they need to be completely replaced, which is another major loss.
Two years ago, as an Air Force test pilot, Sun Tianqin defected with a J-7II fighter that had just been developed, which directly led to the newly developed fighter not being able to enter the Air Force, and finally this fighter became J-7M, and also became a star in a generation of foreign trade fighters. But from which point of view, such an incident is very serious for PLA.
Qi Yiming had all kinds of documents in his hand that recorded which traitor defected in which year, but he didn't specifically mention it to the Air Force, or he didn't realize it at all, and the Air Force didn't pay attention to such details, which directly led to this time, which was completely avoidable The defection incident finally happened.
Qi Yiming also found out through the database that the guy who defected on the plane was named Xiao Tianrun, who took off from Jiaoxian County, Shandong, traveled to South Korea and then defected to Taiwan. Fortunately, Qi Yiming has not had time to equip the Air Force with a new H-6K medium-range bomber, otherwise the loss will be great.
Now it can only be remedied, the speed of the H-5 is only 900 kilometers per hour, originally it was doing flight training, it was originally flying at sea, when it deviated from the flight path, the system of the base reminded Qi Yiming, and retrieved other possibilities, judging that this H-5 was going to defect.
At this time, no one had the leisure to continue to watch the test flight of the J-8V, and all the generals and Shen Fei's personnel belonging to Qi Yiming also entered Shen Fei's ground tower, and a set of command and control systems were also installed here, and there was a data link with the whole army.
The communication personnel who have entered the combat position reported: "The Air Force has sent a message that they have urgently taken off two J-10 fighters and are pursuing the defected target at high speed, and the Air Force has prepared an anti-aircraft missile unit that will shoot down the defected target if it is forced to do so." ”
Qi Yiming glanced at the map on the big screen and sighed: "I can't catch up, at this position, the Hongqi-9 with a range of 200 kilometers can't hit, and now I take off the interceptor to chase it, and when I catch up, I will also enter the airspace of South Korea." ”
If it is said that the defected H-5 was detected as a defector when it flew together, the fighters of the Air Force could intercept it when it was dozing, but because it was doing training, the plane itself was flying on the sea, and it was not until it deviated from its course that it was caught by the radar of Qi Yiming's base, and it was judged that there was a problem.
Li Jing gritted his teeth angrily and said: "Won't these air force cubs teach their own people well?" How to raise a bunch of traitors. He can indeed say that, because most of the defectors in the history are pilots in the Air Force, and there are not many in the HNA Airlines. However, he is also forgetful, the first person to defect after the founding of the People's Republic of China was the pilot Liu Chengsi of HNA, and the HNA division where he was also greatly rectified, which may also be the reason why HNA did not defect pilots after what happened.
Liu Huaqing reprimanded Li Jing in a low voice, not letting him talk nonsense. Some relationships are destroyed because they can't keep their mouths shut, and now there is no fundamental contradiction between the Navy and the Air Force, so don't make trouble for yourself.
When the two J-10s had already crossed the middle line of the Yellow Sea, the H-5 had already entered South Korean airspace and quickly made a forced landing in a field of farmland. Historically, this forced landing resulted in the death of the navigator Sun Wuchun, the injury of Xiao Tianrun, and the death of a Korean peasant, but this time the traitor was lucky, the forced landing was successful, and the bomber was kept intact. Maybe it's because the Air Force training has kept up recently, so the technique is familiar?
It's just that this matter is not over, at least not according to the process of the original history.
Although the J-10 that took off from the two air forces has reached the top speed of Mach 2, there is still no way to catch up with the defected H-5, and no one expected that the air force commander of Jikong actually lost his temper and directly ordered the two J-10s: "Enter South Korea, find this defected plane for me, and destroy it directly!" ”
This is definitely not a wise choice, and when the J-10 arrived in South Korea, the three people on the plane had already climbed out of the plane that had made a forced landing. Because Xiao Tianrun, Sun Wuchun and Liu Shuyi were very different about the defection, and even directly fought in the farmland in South Korea.
If the two J-10 pilots knew that the person they had chased and killed for thousands of miles was such virtuous, I don't know how they would feel, and they didn't want to enter South Korea's airspace like this, and look for bombers that had been forced to land in such a big place, but the military order was like a mountain, even if Zhiludao's order was quite unreliable, they had to carry it out like this.
First a Chinese bomber entered, and then two Chinese fighter jets entered, the South Korean side was very nervous, immediately turned on the air raid alarm, and also urgently took off several of its own F-4 and F-5 fighter jets to take off in response. It's just that their movements are really slow, and they can't even compare to the level of the PLA Air Force, which has been trained hard for months, and the two J-10s wandered around Jeollabuk-do for a while before they met their own enemy.
A J-10 pilot was very nervous and asked his long plane: "Captain, what's going on?" The South Korean puppet army has come out, the number is 4 times that of us, a total of eight fighters, are we going to fight or run? ”
Changji was furious: "How can we revolutionary soldiers run away without even seeing the enemy's face? It's a shame, the task was not completed, and there must be no retreat. ”
The wingman hurriedly explained: "Captain, if you want to fight, we will suffer a loss if we enter the line of sight, and I believe that our J-10 is much more important than the defected H-5, if we are surrounded and shot down, the enemy will get the wreckage of our fighter, and the loss to our army will be greater!" ”
The long plane listened to the wingman's words, and immediately said: "Quickly solve this wave, find the traitor and eliminate it immediately, and then we will return!" ”
