Chapter 180: Fireworks in Newport

“…… Now the entire east coast of North America is under severe electromagnetic pollution, and we have no way to get intelligence from the scene, but according to the front-line reporters who have just returned by helicopter, we don't know what happened near Newport, and the thick smoke can be seen dozens of kilometers away, and the other helicopters of the main station going to the Washington area still have not responded, considering the upcoming solar storm and the possible large-scale landing operation of the ACA, we can only pray......"

"Boom-"

The two combat missiles were detonated at the same time under the transport plane, and Ling Yu, who was holding the guardrail, clearly felt that the entire rear of the plane was lifted up by the impact force of the explosion almost half a meter high, and glanced at the people who were stunned - Liana and Han Fei had long known this possible situation, and fixed themselves to the temporary seats on the bulkhead of the plane with their seat belts, but a few TFs who were quite conceited about their balance ability suffered a small loss.

"Hangar! Report the damage! ”

"The second-story hangar is broken and the pressure is lost! The modular armor layer in the abdomen is broken through and abandoned, and with another shot we will become open-topped! ”

"All evacuate the hangar, leave those baggage alone!" Reanna shouted at the phone, apparently she had to be ready to continue to defend against the next round of missile attacks with a relatively less important, thickly armored, compartment-prowessed belly.

"No other damage?!"

"This is the cab, the number of engine No. 2 is a little abnormal, maybe shrapnel caused damage! The fault cannot be eliminated! ”

The sound from the cab made Ling Yu grit his teeth. Then he turned around and shouted at a few people behind him.

"Fasten your seatbelts now, we've got to have a big game!"

"What do you want to do?!" In the midst of the terrible siren, Liana put her head to Ling Yu's ear and asked loudly!

"The second wave of missiles is approaching! Quantity twenty-four! ”

Apparently, the other wingman, having found that there was no danger around, also received an order to attack.

"The belly laser interception equipment is malfunctioning and cannot be rotated!"

"Wheelhouse, prepare to dive!"

Ling Yu fixed himself to the wall with his right hand and grabbed the phone with his left hand. Then he turned his head to look at a wire in his hand. Helis who fixed himself in the position next to Ling Yu.

"Listen, the tactics are like this, if this round of missiles hasn't killed us, then we'll dive straight at maximum speed. Until about a hundred meters above the surface of the sea. Then Helis turned the electronic interference to the maximum. It should be possible to rush out of their radar lock range! ”

"You're crazy! The current condition of the fuselage will disintegrate! ”

The sound of the cab came, and Ling Yu threw away the phone. Plug the cab into your headset, "It's all dead anyway, more or less fight!" ”

"The missile goes into the range of the laser interception system!"

"Cockpit! Shoot all the decoy bombs! If you don't need to drop it now, you won't have a chance to use it again! Ling Yu gave a loud order, and then stretched out his right hand to grab Helis, "When the dive starts, you can use all your strength to jam the area, as long as you can temporarily make the opponent's active radar lose its target, we will be saved!" ”

Helis nodded vigorously, stretched out his hand, and showed the path of the simulated missile in the CIC on the map table, but before Ling Yu could look at it, he had already felt the vibration of the decoy bomb launched from the tail, and countless metallic chaff strips were thrown out directly, if you look at it from the radar screen, this C292 is like a hornet's nest that has been stabbed, flying out a group of white light points representing the target.

"Start diving! The angle can be as big as it gets!! ”

Ling Yu, who finally had time to look at the simulated missile path, instantly improved his plan, about a dozen missiles passed through the laser interception net, three or four more hit the aluminum foil strips used for interference, and finally four or five missiles came straight to the plane.

And just as the missile was about to detonate, the huge C292 began to dive at a high altitude at a near-vertical angle as if it had been shot down.

The moment the huge feeling of weightlessness came, two more missiles hit the belly of the plane, but that area had already been evacuated, and a large amount of equipment and baggage were sucked into the air from the huge breach in the fuselage, but it also happened to save Ling Yu the process of ordering these things to be abandoned.

"Engine No. 3 was hit and caught fire, shut down!"

"Engine No. 2 oil line is damaged, closed!"

As a military transport aircraft, the C292, which has four large jet engines, is naturally able to fly with only two engines, not to mention that now the belly nacelle is broken, not only the equipment carried has been lost, but even the fuselage itself has been broken with a big hole, and the weight has been reduced a lot.

"What's next?!" Reina didn't know what Ling Yu was going to do, but it was a dead end anyway, so Ling Yu came.

"Pray that it doesn't disintegrate, that the tail doesn't break!"

In fact, between the words, the plane had already begun to dive at extremely fast speed and at a terrifying angle, but after listening to Ling Yu's words, Liana really began to fold her hands and pray.

No wonder older people are superstitious.

Ling Yu came up with the idea that he would be beaten to death if he said it for no reason, but everything he could do was done, and the rest was really just a matter of resignation.

The dive process took almost three minutes, and in these three minutes, every second was as long as a century, and in every second, Ling Yu seemed to be able to hear the hole in the belly of the plane being torn open little by little by the fierce wind that was poured in, and it seemed that every second could be accompanied by a loud noise to tear off the entire tail, Ling Yu struggled to control the sense of danger that was rushing towards his face like the sea, and this meaningless warning message was like a battlefield that had been completely suppressed by electromagnetism, making him lose his fingers.

Ling Yu was so focused on controlling his emotions that he didn't notice that Herris, who was trying to interfere with the entire airspace, was clutching his right hand tightly.

Suddenly, Ling Yu seemed to feel the huge transport plane tremble, and then. The whole plane began to slowly change out of the state of diving, and Ling Yu, who had been holding his breath and concentrating, breathed a sigh of relief, but his psychology was full of admiration for the two pilots in the cockpit.

You must know that not every driver can allow himself to be so crazy, the joystick is in the hands of others, isn't it better to grab it and drive it himself?

In fact, Ling Yu's admiration was not groundless, after this huge C292 dived at a dive angle of nearly 70 degrees, the final height after change was only less than 200 meters above sea level!

This is not one of those fighters that can shuttle in the middle of the waves, but a transport AWACS aircraft like a flying fortress!

"CIC, turn on the optical camouflage now!"

At the moment when the plane was flattened. Ling Yu immediately gave an order to the upper floor. Then he spoke without stopping, "Then check the damage in the cargo hold, make emergency repairs, and discard a single thing that you don't need, including the cargo door panel." The laser interception system in the tail and belly was also lost. Flee or die. Now to lose a qiē weight and run away! ”

"Sir, we only have two engines now, and if we hang up another one, we're going to make a forced landing. Aren't we climbing a little bit. ”

“…… Well, pay attention to the height. ”

Ling Yu hesitated slightly, nodded in agreement with the cockpit's order, and then immediately added, "Accelerate as fast as possible within a safe range, we must get out of here as soon as possible, and then it's up to you." ”

"No problem, sir." The voice that came from the microphone was obviously relieved.

After another four or five minutes, although the red alarm in the cabin was still flashing, the alarm had been turned off by the CIC, and at this time, as long as it did not sound "irradiated by fire control radar" or "missile approaching", it was already the best news.

"It looks like there's no problem for the time being, Ling Yu, can you explain to us how we survived."

Logan unbuckled his seatbelt, let out a long sigh of relief, and spoke half-jokingly.

"The ACA's radar system is not more advanced than us, on the contrary, strictly speaking, if the electronic warfare is carried out fairly, the alliance is slightly superior, why can't we detect the ACA early warning aircraft, but the ACA early warning aircraft can guide the fighters to intercept us?" Ling Yu unbuckled his seatbelt, patted Helis on the head and gave him an approving smile, then stood up, "If you want to say that in this electromagnetic environment, those two fighters collided with us by great luck, it would be too coincidental. ”

"So I think the key to the problem should be on the armor plates in the belly that have not been replaced, and the stealth effect is greatly reduced, so if this is the case, then if we use the back with complete stealth capability to face the radar of the opponent's early warning aircraft, in this electromagnetic environment, it should be possible to fake the illusion of falling."

"Genius ......" Han Fei stood up with a disgraced face, but the water bottle that Linya handed him rolled his eyes at Ling Yu, "You are not afraid that the entire tail of the plane will fly into the sky, we will really be shot down." ”

"It's okay to survive in death, anyway......"

"Sir, we can't restore communication with Newport Harbor, and we risk being drawn into the battle, do we want to change the landing location?"

"Are there any nearby landing sites?" Ling Yu grabbed the phone, only to remember that the cockpit communication had been connected to the headset by him, so he pressed the headset, "It can support this plane." ”

"There's a civilian airfield in Warwick in the northwest where we should be able to land." The captain was silent for a moment, as if to ask the co-pilot to adjust his course, but then spoke again, "By the way, we can see Newport in a moment." ”

"Don't get too close, release the drone." Ling Yu nodded and gave an order, and then looked at Helis, who walked to the control platform, and the main power light of a reconnaissance drone hanging on the wall of the cargo compartment lit up, and after a few seconds of self-inspection, the black drone drilled out of the hole in the hangar.

This is......

After a few minutes of flying, Helis was suddenly stunned for a moment, and a word bubble popped out of Helis's head, who was standing next to the map table again.

"What, do you see anything?" Ling Yu turned his head and asked.

No, nothing could be seen, and the engine inhaled a lot of smoke, and the drone soon had to make a forced landing...... Judging by the amount of smoke, it is unlikely that there will be such a large amount of smoke unless the entire Newport fuel is lit.

"Sir, the number of engine number one is a little wrong, we may not be able to get to the civilian airport, we may have to make a forced landing at an abandoned National Guard base nearby...... FXXK! Engine No. 1 caught fire and shut down immediately! ”

"Ditch the modular fuel tank, open the valve to release the remaining oil, we're going to make a forced landing!"

"All hands are ready for a forced landing!" Liana shouted out directly, with the experience of the last time, this time a few TFs in the cabin were not reckless, obediently rushed to the seats, buckled their seat belts, just like elementary school students who took a plane for the first time.

"Where's that airport?" Ling Yu turned her head to look at Helis sitting to her right, and the girl nodded to mark the location of the airport.

"Well, just west of Newport...... It's still a little close to the war zone, but there's no way around it. ”

Ling Yu nodded slightly, then took a breath and closed his eyes, waiting for the impending impact.

Fortunately, the C292, which had its landing gear broken and lost its left engine, did not disintegrate during the forced landing, or rather, did not completely disintegrate.

The sound internal stability design and excellent materials allow the formidable Airmaster to disconnect from the already crumbling tail, while the parachute specially designed for forced landings and a one-time hard-landing thrust reverser rocket also greatly reduce the pressure on the crew in the cabin.

After the violent tremors, everyone unhurriedly unbuckled their seat belts, and the communications staff officers on the upper echelons rushed down with body armor and helmets on their backs and assault rifles.

"The four of you go check the cockpit, someone may be injured," Ling Yu shook his hand and gave the order to the four staff officers, and then turned his head to look at the TF here, "Helis immediately unleashed the drone that can still be used, and set up a warning area around the plane, Logan and Linya come with me." ”

After speaking, Ling Yu opened an escape passage next to him, slid down the ladder directly, drew out the mystery pistol, glanced at the empty airport, and then signaled to Logan and the others to go to the right side of the plane to observe in the direction of the sea.

"Ling Yu, I think you'd better come and see it in person."

Not long after Logan went around to the other side of the plane, he suddenly spoke, Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, but he still turned over and climbed onto the wings, and turned over the deformed fuselage, only to see a piece of fire.

"No wonder...... They were sure that the Fourth Fleet would all be parked in port. ”

Linya's voice came from the side with the same shock as Ling Yu, and in front of them was the No. 4 Chemical City that was blazing. (To be continued......)
