Chapter 184 184 Air Raid on Sibanga

In fact, there are only 16 fighters in Malaysia, and at this time Malaysia has not bought MiG-29s, no Hornets, no Su-30s, and only 16 F-5E Tiger 2 fighters. All the fighters were deployed in West Malaysia, mainly at the air base in the North Sea (Butterworth), while in East Malaysia there were no fighters.

Not only is there no interceptor aircraft to use, but East Malaysia also lacks ground air defense weapons, not to mention that there are few shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, and even anti-aircraft artillery is not complete, so when a large number of F-14CNs come to their doorstep, they can only be decisive and tragic.

Today is Chen Feng's third mission, these days he is attacking, returning to rest, and then attacking, and the excitement at the beginning is slowly dissipated because the enemy is too weak. However, Chen Feng generally understands that today's bombing of the Xibanga Naval Base in East Malaysia will probably be the last long-range attack mission of their Tomcat group, and now recall, although the long-range attack mission is tiring and difficult, it has been completed neatly, and it also makes him feel full of pride.

Chen Feng served as the captain of his own flight squadron, and he explained: "We are going to receive the attack information from the early warning aircraft, and we will wait until we get closer before we make a move, but be careful in everything, although the opponent's air defense capability is relatively low, it also has a base of anti-aircraft artillery, and it will shoot within ten nautical miles of the coast." ”

"Understood!"

The superior geographical environment of the Sibanga base made it impossible for the frigates, which were more than 100 kilometers away, to use anti-ship missiles to directly hit the warships of the Maldivian Navy docked there. This is because there are mountains and forests on the small peninsula on the harbor side, and there are too many small islands on the outside, and the interference with the seeker of the anti-ship missile will be very serious, although the YJ-83 is a very good anti-ship missile, but it is not yet intelligent to this extent. The Tomcats in the air can choose the direction of attack more flexibly, and the YJ-83K they drop is more accurate, and their AR-2 and LT-3 can effectively deal with some facilities in the port.

When the Tomcats entered the range of the Malaysian army's air defense alert, it would take a few minutes for their air defense sirens to beep, and the consequences of this kind of business readiness were painful, until the F-14 appeared in the line of sight of the Xibanga base, the base was in chaos, some soldiers did not even come to their respective combat positions, and the already small number of anti-aircraft guns had not yet been operated.

However, the position of 10 kilometers is already quite close to the position of the Tomcat pilots who have been attending the ground attack training course since they began to take the ground attack training course, because the PLA air force is conceptually advanced in this era, so they have always given priority to non-contact combat, and they will never fight dogs until they are forced to fight in the air, and they will never fly directly above the target until they are forced to do so until they are forced to do so on the ground. If it weren't for the unfavorable terrain here, Chen Feng and the others estimated that they would have started throwing bombs and missiles forty or fifty kilometers away.

This proximity also has considerable advantages, that is, it will give the weapon a better and clearer range of fire, in this position, the F-14 is like a flock of lambs tethered to a pillar for the ships in the harbor that have not yet untied, while the birds of prey in the sky can circle and dive at will.

Chen Feng also secreted a large amount of adrenaline hormones, and the feeling of excitement enveloped his whole body, and he skillfully manipulated his landline, input the automatic coordinates through the downward-looking radar, and then pressed the launch button. This F-14 was carrying two YJ-83K missiles, and after the plane dropped these two missiles, which together were more than a ton, it suddenly became lighter, and Chen Feng did not need a guided weapon, because they were all shot and left alone.

He pulled the lever sharply, pulled the nose up, and after making a vertical climb maneuver, the plane continued to fly backwards to 180 degrees in the positive direction, and then adjusted the flight attitude again. He made a reverse dive, trying not to get as close as possible to enemy anti-aircraft fire, even though there had not been a single anti-aircraft fire so far.

His comrades-in-arms basically made a similar choice to him, after the fighter plane dropped the bomb quickly, they either pulled up the nose and turned backwards, or made a quick turn backwards, like an invisible red line drawn in the air, and none of the tomcats abruptly crossed over.

The two YJ-83Ks that Chen Feng dropped each chose the biggest target, that is, the two frigates Cassuri and Ramat. Originally, according to the normal operating mechanism of the YJ-83, when the missile reaches a distance of 20-30 kilometers from the target, the warhead will separate from the missile body, and the two-stage solid rocket engine at the rear of the warhead will ignite, pushing the warhead to, 1. Mach 5 terminal supersonic speed, and at the same time began to perform tactical maneuver evasion maneuvers to evade those close defense weapons. But because Chen Feng's attack was too close, the second-stage rocket engine didn't have time to ignite, and the missile hit headlong and down.

Both shots hit the mark!

One hit the position of the bridge of the Cassuri, and the bridge of the Cassuri was not so thick that the armor could not withstand the extremely strong armor-piercing anti-ship missile, and the delayed explosion fuse only exploded violently after penetrating the bridge control tower, Chen Feng didn't see this scene because he pulled up the nose, but there is no doubt that anyone inside will be blown to pieces.

Fortunately for the Malaysians, due to their slack work attitude, the captain, officers, and sailors had not yet reached the battle position, except for a few sailors on duty, who were unlucky, and most of the officers and men on the ship had not yet boarded the ship.

Another missile hit the bow of the Ramat because of the close range of air launches, the trajectory of the entire missile flight was not so normal and straight, this missile pierced diagonally and penetrated through the front deck of the Ramat and exploded directly into the gate.4 The 5-inch gun turret was lifted, a large hole was blown out of the foredeck, and the hull was noticeably tilted.

The Kasuri was blown out and the bridge was not necessarily completely sunk, but the Ramat was pierced through the foredeck, and the counterweight was completely messed up, and it was bound to sink.

The bombs dropped by other Tomcat fighters also found their own targets, because it was the first time to try to bomb targets in the harbor, and the shape of the warship was indeed not a good target, so the hit rate of the Tomcats was not particularly high, only about 70 percent, especially GPS-guided weapons will basically all deviate.

"It's still too close, change the photoelectric pod with a laser mark!"

After changing the strategy, the Tomcat with the optoelectronic pod began to aim at the enemy on the ground with its own pod, and after the laser was fired, they threw laser-guided weapons such as the AR-2, which would attack precisely at the marked position, which was indeed more effective at such a close distance.

The AR-2 is a missile of only about 200 kilograms, which is still a little weak for a frigate of nearly 2,000 tons, but it still has a very good lethality against small boats of several hundred tons. After several AR-2s were dropped from the air, they directly hit the missile boats that were already ready to start, and these missile boats were almost killed by one hit, not to mention multiple at the same time.

Pilots who observed the results did not notice the death of the missile boat, and speculated that the Malaysians did not even fill the missile boat with missiles.

There was also a Tomcat carrying the YJ-83K relaxed, only to see this plane swooping down from the sky, still in accordance with the rules of operation did not get too close, separated by a distance of more than ten kilometers, its variable swept wing opened to a large angle, to adapt to the ultra-low altitude of 20 meters above sea level, the bold pilot flew at such a low altitude, the purpose was to flatten the anti-ship missiles under the wing.

Two anti-ship missiles were fired in response, and sure enough, at such a low-altitude position, the anti-ship missiles resumed their normal trajectory, and the two missiles, one on the left and one on the right, maintained a height of three to five meters, and fired at high speed at the frigate Kasuri, which had not yet sunk. When there was still a kilometer to the target, the two YJ-83K projectiles separated, and the warheads were pushed by the two-stage rocket engine to directly attack the enemy ship with supersonic power.

Two huge explosions and two columns of water against the nearly 2,000-ton frigate exploded, both hitting the Kasuri waterline, and the huge impact caused by the explosion first threw the frigate off the water for some distance, and then the gravity of the earth carried the ship to the level fiercely. Like a wooden plank hitting the ground, the frigate, which is tens of meters long, could not withstand such a slap and broke directly from the center into two pieces.

Seeing this scene, all the Tomcat pilots couldn't help but cheer loudly.

A battle or carnage that had not existed from the beginning ended after a dozen minutes, because there were not many targets in the Sibanga base that the pilots considered worthwhile, and the F-14 fleet did not even drop all the bombs after sending all the visible ships to the bottom of the sea. Some of the facilities on land Chen Feng did not destroy all of them after weighing, and the order he received was only to destroy all the ships of the Ma Navy, not including the shore facilities. Without ships, even if there is fuel in the oil depot and sailors in the barracks, what is the use.

Chen Feng joked with his comrades-in-arms: "We really didn't deliberately save ammunition, but the Malay monkeys don't have anything for us to fight." ”

In the South China Sea, hundreds of nautical miles away, Zheng Zhantu, commander of the South China Sea Fleet's task force, also received the news that the HNA had completed the bombing, and he did not seem very excited, everything was reasonable, and said casually: "There is no threat to our rear road, the navy of East Malaysia has been destroyed, and now we can deal with the enemy on Kuantan's side wholeheartedly." ”

Mai He shouted: "Great, commander, the comrades of our carrier-based aircraft unit are ready to go, just like Xibanga, first bomb Kuantan Port, knock out all ships and coastal defense facilities, and then our surface capital ships cover the landing fleet to launch a landing!" ”

Zheng Zhantu smiled and said, "Since you know the way, don't do it quickly." ”

"Yes, Commander!"
