"Start the engine." In the large cab, Captain Carory said to the pilot Mark beside him.

Mark flipped the switch, and there was a roar outside.

Compared to a fighter jet, the cockpit of a bomber is quite large, and even so, it is still not very comfortable to sit in it, because there are countless operating switches around.

In this era, there is no concept of glass cockpit, and if you want to operate such a large bomber, it is not something that one or two people can complete, and the two people in the cockpit are all surrounded by instruments, front and back, left and right, and even the overhead are densely packed with switches one by one.

Take-off must also be carried out step by step in accordance with the operation steps.

Mark was flipping the switches on his right side, flipping all the switches in a row in place, and then looking at the dashboard in front of him.

Every engine is working normally, the oil pressure is normal, the inertial navigation equipment is normal, and finally, after sweeping the instruments one by one, he said to the captain on the right: "Everything is normal." ”

"Take off." The captain shouted.

Takeoff! Mark let go of the brakes.

The wide B-52 bomber began to glide down the runway.

More than 50 meters long wingspan, sweeping the ground on both sides, at this time the sky is still dark, the runway lights on both sides are so conspicuous, Mark's right hand slowly pulled the throttle lever, the thrust of all eight engines to the maximum, and then, I heard the unique whistling of the engine.

The bomber was still gliding smoothly on the runway, moving forward and forward.

"Pull it up." Carory shouted.

At this time, almost to the middle of the runway, Mark pulled the operating disc in his hand back smoothly, the roar of the plane changed in an instant, with the movement of the tail rudder, the nose of the aircraft was slowly, slowly tilting upward, and then, the front wheel was finally raised.

Compared to the small fighters, the take-off of the bombers is quite slow, especially now, they are loaded with 30 tons of conventional bombs, which, if dropped, will definitely form a carpet of death on the ground! That's how scary about the B-52 bomber.

In Vietnam, they used to do this, and they were impressed, and now, the bomber continued to slide, almost to the end of the runway, and finally, the rear wheels were lifted, and the B-52 bomber was now almost full of fuel, weighing more than 200 tons, and flying slowly.

They were slowly climbing and turning in the direction of Hokkaido.

It took more than three hours to fly before they were able to reach the skies over Hokkaido.

At this time, Nathan's fighter plane was already in the sky over Hokkaido, slowly looking for it.

The wings are straight, in this state, the fighter's low-speed flight ability is quite prominent, the handling performance is very good, under Nathan's operation, the nose of the aircraft from time to time like a dragonfly dipping into the water, hoping to find something.

However, Gus found nothing.

"Our radar can't detect that tank force, it's beyond our capabilities." Finally, Gus came to a conclusion, there is no need to toss, no matter how much you toss now, it is useless, and you can't find the other party.

Nathan leveled the plane, it is true, the speed of the other side is very slow, and his own radar cannot be distinguished at all, if it is a later improvement, it is almost the same.

Well, after going back this time, I must propose to my superiors to digitally improve this set of radars!

The radar of the F-15 is stronger than its own processing power, and this set of radars should also be changed, not to mention that there is no money, this is a war!

Since the radar can't detect it, then there is only one way for the other side to guess where the other party is most likely to appear, and then drop the flare to take a look.

This is a strange task that the Air Force can do on its own, but it still needs its own help.

Nathan was still complaining in his heart, and his fighter plane had already begun to dive downward, and he had to get closer to see it clearly after dropping the flares.

Nathan didn't know that at this time, the tank troops below were also waiting.

They didn't move.

When the Cobra helicopter was killed, they picked up speed, and at this time, the front tank was about to pass through the canyon, and it seemed that it was a flat horse.

At this moment, the roar of fighter planes was heard.

When he heard this voice, Nikolai immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing, and the entire tank queue stopped.

In this case, they are stationary, just like the ground, and according to the working principle of the pulse Doppler of the fighter radar, they are also filtered out as clutter.

So, Nathan simply couldn't find tank troops on the ground.

Originally, they thought that the other party was flying in a circle and then leaving, but now, they heard the sound of the other party's fighter plane swooping down, and they didn't leave? Don't blame us!

"What about the Strela-3 missile? Get up there, kill it for me! Nikolai shouted.

Arrow-3, the second-generation portable anti-aircraft missile developed by the Soviets, codenamed SAM-14 in NATO, was used to replace the previously produced SAM-7 portable anti-aircraft missile.

Compared with the previous missile, its biggest improvement is to improve the sensitivity of the seeker, in addition to being able to chase the attack, but also to attack head-on, mainly used for combat forward air defense, against low-flying attack aircraft and hovering helicopters.

After all, its shooting height is limited, and an aircraft that is too high cannot reach it.

In the tank troops, a certain number of these portable anti-aircraft missiles were deployed, but they had been marching at a rapid pace just now, and the troops equipped with such missiles were behind, but they did not catch up and were almost wiped out by the Cobra helicopter.

After that, the operators of the portable anti-aircraft missiles in the back rushed over, and they were also arranged above the valley to protect the safety of this side.

Now, if the other party dares to swoop down, then don't blame yourself for being unkind!

A warrior squatted halfway up the hill with an arrow-3 on his shoulder.

This kind of missile is similar to the Stinger anti-aircraft missile, which was widely spread in later generations, and its operation is also much the same.

Put on the headphones, carry the missile, turn on the hot battery, cool the probe, and then the seeker begins to search for the target.

At this time, in the sky, the fighter plane that was diving down was so conspicuous that the soldier turned the missile around, and then, the familiar sound of intercepting the target came from the earphones.

Then, it can be launched, it is best to wait for the moment when the opponent dives and pulls up, at that time, the fuselage will block the pilot's view, and you will not be able to see the missile launch here at all, after all, it is night, and the flame of the missile launch is too conspicuous.
