Chapter 129 129 Returning from a Serious Injury
The leopards were cool when they chased the two flankers crying and shouting for their mother, but joy and sorrow were no joke. Because they were too protruding, the Leopard Bs penetrated deep into the airspace of the Soviet Union, and not only the rabbits were wary of the hairy bears, but the hairy bears were also wary of the rabbits, and they directly broke into a dense air defense network.
The number of missile battalions deployed in the Kazakh territorial air defense force is definitely more than that deployed in Xinjiang, although there is a certain gap between the S-200 and S-300 in terms of technology and technology compared with the red alert version of the Hongqi-9 and Hongqi-16, but it is still one of the best air defense weapons in this era.
It's just that from the beginning of the ground-to-surface missile raid, part of the missile battalion of the Soviet Territorial Defense Force suffered a blow, and the criticized long reaction time of the S-300 and other systems made them finally aim the missiles at the sky and launch a **** against the Chinese Air Force after the Leopard B knocked down all the intercepted Soviet fighters.
When the radar siren beeped, these pilots knew that the way was not good, but because they were born for combat and had all kinds of experience in dealing with the enemy in their talents, they did not panic excessively and calmly resisted the attacks of the enemy's surface-to-air missiles and antiaircraft artillery groups in a step-by-step manner.
"Maximum power output of the pressing system! ECM Spoofing Started! ”
When the S-300PMU's 48N6E missile hot launch took off, the Leopard Bs had already adopted a very loose defensive formation and made corresponding maneuvers. Of course, the most effective countermeasure to escape the capture of these anti-aircraft missiles is the electronic warfare system carried by each aircraft.
Because the 48N6E missiles use inertial navigation and active radar guidance, when these missiles are at the end, they will rely on their own fire control radar to capture the traces of enemy fighters, the Soviets are full of confidence in their S-300 system, but today is also the first time they have encountered a fighter with its own electronic deception in actual combat.
These 48N6E missiles are naturally able to detect enemy aircraft, but when they "hit the enemy" without hesitation and detonate their own fragmentation warheads, the observers operating the missiles found that the missiles did not hit anything, they only thought that they had hit the opponent.
This principle is quite simple, the Leopard B with ECM enabled first causes hundreds of targets to appear in the sky in an instant, and then randomly shifts its position, and the anti-aircraft missile is more likely to hit a false target in such a situation, and the place where the real fighter appears, but it is not necessarily displayed in the missile's fire control radar.
And so there was this scene - all the Soviet anti-aircraft missiles exploded in the sky like a nervous disorder, and then the Chinese fighters were far away.
In addition to these anti-aircraft missiles, another threat to the Leopard B is the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery group in this defense area. In a good way, they entered the territory of the 32nd Army, which was blocked in the mountains, and the 32nd Army, as a fairly mechanized unit, had a large number of towed and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in addition to ordinary battlefield anti-aircraft missiles, as if people returned to the battlefield of World War II.
A group of 57mm, 37mm, 23mm and other anti-aircraft guns of various calibers immediately fired a rain of bullets when the Leopard B was in the air, compared to something like the S-300, it can also be deceived by ECM, and there is no good way to dodge these stunned anti-aircraft guns. Fortunately, the flying leopards were not stupid enough to get too close to the obvious troops of the 32nd Army, so although these anti-aircraft guns worked very hard to weave a network of bullets in the sky, they were not able to really hit a flying leopard.
"Pull up the height!" The best way to deal with these anti-aircraft guns is naturally to exceed their firing height, such as 57mm anti-aircraft guns, which are relatively large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and the firing height is generally about eight or nine thousand meters, while the practical ceiling of the Leopard B is much higher, and this is no longer the time to entangle with the Soviets, and it is impossible for the flying group without many missiles to rush down and use the 23mm cannon to strafe the crowd.
"Terrain matching, coordinate marking!" Naturally, this breath can't be swallowed like this, the leopards can't make a move, but others can still move. The good downward-looking radar and ground attack mode can not only provide the Leopard itself with the convenience of attacking, but with the help of the army's integrated data link system, this information is also transmitted to a large number of short-range surface-to-surface missile launch platforms brought by the 309th Division hundreds of kilometers away.
And with these things, the 32nd Army, which was blocked on the other side of the collapsed and damaged road, would definitely not have any good fruit to eat.
Just as the flight team had completed its last mission and was about to return, something unfortunate finally happened. In a fit of rage, the Territorial Defense Force realized that its missiles could not hit any targets, and eventually began to fire a larger number of missiles instead of counting them. Even if the ECM makes these missiles lack accuracy, when bad luck comes, no one can stop it.
After flying more than 40 kilometers, a missile launched by an S-300PMU hit a false target, releasing fragments and steel balls in the sky, but a Leopard B happened to be not far from this false target, and the fragments that burst everywhere hit the vertical tail and left wing of the Leopard B, and also damaged an engine.
The fighter plane suddenly rose and fell sharply in the sky as if it were drunk, and the already irregular air currents caused it to constantly vibrate in the air.
"Hurricane 1-3, Galley 1-3, Rapid Ejection, Ejection!" The captain commanded in an anxious tone.
The pilot of the fighter plane that was hit replied with perseverance: "Captain, I can do it, the plane is not badly damaged, it has been flattened, and there is no problem in returning to the airport for a forced landing." ”
"Will it work?"
"No problem!"
Everyone knows that this is a very reluctant approach, the static instability used by the JH-7B will indeed help such a damage situation, but it still requires the pilot's full attention, constantly adjusting the flight attitude, his left wing and tail are constantly getting into the wind, making the air flow here disordered, plus an engine has been scrapped, with an engine although flying is safe, but it is still a risk.
The captain knew that it was impossible to change the idea of the Hurricane 1-3, so he left one plane to accompany him, and the other fighters returned to the station at full speed. Due to the terrible drop in speed after being hit, if all of them flew at this speed, it would definitely still pose a danger to the three flying groups.
Although ECM is good, it should not be superstitious, this system needs to be continuously improved and improved, at least the lesson this time is that the false target should not be too close to the machine.
Naturally, the good fortune of the Territorial Defense Force did not last, and the Hurricane 1-3 finally completed the return in the case of serious injuries, although the mission was not undamaged, but it also saved an aircraft that cost tens of millions of yuan. Even if the production cost of the base is not counted, the value of the completion of the thing itself is certain.
After the Air Force completed its mission, the Eighth Division of the Xinjiang Military Region, which had finally rushed from Wusu, had already taken over the heavily damaged Fifth Agricultural Division.
Division Commander Liu excitedly shook the hands of Zhao Lianxi, the commander of the 8th Division: "You are finally here, you are finally here, to avenge the sacrifices of our comrades in the Fifth Agricultural Division!" ”
Master Zhao was a little uncomfortable, and said apologetically: "It's all because we're late." ”
"As long as we arrive, it's not too late, the air force has already knocked out most of the Soviets' tanks, but when they left, they swept away some of the debris we had to collect in our mission, please be sure to take it back!"
Master Zhao nodded heavily and said, "It's good, it's up to us!" ”
Having said that, Division Commander Zhao also had a lot of pressure on his head, and after Solinsky was pulled out of his armored regiment, he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet and retreated, and he couldn't care about cleaning up the Fifth Agricultural Division, which had been basically scrapped. At this time, they had withdrawn to the other side of the national border, and Zhao Lianxi waved his army to fight, that is, to fight deep into the enemy's border, which was a place they were not familiar with, and they might encounter all kinds of dangers.
Next to the two division commanders is the armored regiment of the 8th Division, which is a motorized rapid reaction force, and also has an armored regiment dedicated to attacking fortifications, with 2 tank battalions, 1 infantry battalion and 1 artillery battalion. It is equipped with 70 Type 99 main battle tanks, 40 Type 09 infantry fighting vehicles (including other vehicles of the Type 09 family), and 18 PLZ-05 155mm self-propelled guns.
This armored regiment can be said to be the biggest magic weapon in Zhao Lianxi's hands, and since he changed his outfit, all his training has basically revolved around his "elite" armored regiment. It's just that there are few Red Police soldiers in Zhao Lianxi's Eighth Division, so the mastery of new equipment is not very good.
After a period of running-in, Zhao Lianxi felt that his troops could already compete with their opponents. So at the moment he was also complacent, wanting to teach the Soviets a big lesson, as Solinsky thought at the beginning.
Crawling out of a trench that was no longer in shape, Li Chen's face was full of black ashes, in this fierce battle, he lost many comrades, but he himself did not fire a single shot because of timidity. It is not known if it was Dilinaer's prayers that helped him, and he hid in the trench until the air raids arrived and scared the Soviets away.
Until this moment, Li Chen has not completely come out of the despondency. The comrades-in-arms around him cried bitterly while they were alive, and those who could still walk began to rescue the wounded and collect the bodies of their comrades.
"Li Chen, why are you in a daze! Go carry the wounded! A rough, but somewhat weak, voice came.
Li Chen looked back and found that it was his own regiment leader, but at this time he was no longer the regiment leader in his impression. Because the man in front of him, covered in blood, had a left arm that had gone to a thick bandage.
Looking at the disabled regiment commander, Li Chen's tears poured out like a volcanic eruption, he knelt beside the regiment commander, hugged the regiment leader's thigh, and choked up: "Regiment leader, I'm so useless, I'm so useless, everyone...... It's gone......"
The head of the regiment vigorously twitched the back of Li Chen's head, but shook his head again, and sighed: "Silly boy." ”
The regiment commander looked at Li Chen, who was crying incompretentiously, and said, "You are really not suitable to be a soldier." ”
