Chapter 702: Aerial Artillery Fighting

In the sky, the distance between the two X-8As, circling close, was shrinking.

Piloting the slender "Yan Dragon" with a bit of agility into a continuous horizontal maneuver, Long Yun's control at this time is very orderly, according to the traditional fighter aircraft gun fighting tactics, both sides will try to put the opponent in the direction of twelve o'clock, and now he is trying to do so.

However, his "Yanlong" was hovering as hard as he could, and Major Du Feng's landline was not idle, and the two fighters of the same model and state were soon entangled with each other. The fully extended swept wings provide ample usable lift for the attacker, the huge engine vent spits bright blue-blue flames, and the fighter planes maneuver frequently at supersonic speeds, and the air flow and white fog around the fuselage appear and disappear from time to time, but there is no fire and smoke from the fighters firing at each other, and the signs of electromagnetic cannon attack are so hidden and imperceptible!

There is almost no difference in the altitude and speed of the two attacking planes that are each on the opponent's 39th parallel, and such a confrontation is destined to be unable to quickly decide the winner.

In the cockpit where the black vision effect continued, controlling the fighter with full thrust and soaring overload and fighting with the opponent for a long time, turning sideways in the air for a long time, Long Yun asked himself that he had tried his best, but he could never find any opportunity to fire, which made him gradually become a little irritable.

Unlike air-to-air missiles, which can shoot in almost all directions, the guns of the assault aircraft are also fixed in the fuselage, and the nose needs to be pointed at the target and given a certain amount of advance before it can be hit. However, in a typical circling air battle, the continuous circling angular velocity of the two X-8A "Yanlong" is of course exactly the same, and the power is fully able to offset the effect of aerodynamic drag. If this continues, no one will be able to beat anyone. Do you have to keep going around in circles until you get dizzy?

- That's right. Why not give it a try with a missile!

Completely immersed in the tense and fierce circling air battle, probably because the desire to use the aerial cannon to win back a game was too strong, Long Yun suddenly came to his senses at this time; I heard the alarm of the missile detection system in my ears, and realized that I had not fired a single missile since I entered the battlefield, and I forgot to use it with twenty-four missiles, which was really undeserved.

Realizing that Major Du Feng had once again preemptively launched a missile attack, he immediately used the little control knowledge that he had temporarily added before, and poked and poked a few times on the display screen to command the fire control system to switch to automatic engagement mode. That is, let the system decide for itself when to use the PL-15C in the "Yanlong" magazine to launch an interception operation.

Of course, in the face of the heavily armored "Yanlong", a few missiles may not be able to force the major to withdraw from the circle, but it can cause some trouble to the opponent!

Although such a thought came out of nowhere, I have to say that Long Yun's thinking has become a little strange again; In fact, it wasn't until he heard the sound of the missile detection system that he was awakened by Du Feng's attack. In other words, if it weren't for Major Du Feng's preemptive attack, he probably wouldn't have remembered to use missiles until now, but would have been bent on using aerial artillery to solve the problem, although this idea is clearly not realistic at all.

A fire control system was hastily set up during the hovering. Long Yun in the cockpit was a little short of thinking off the line for a while.

However, unlike the human brain, which occasionally misses, the fire control system carried by the "Yanlong" has a very high intelligence. After receiving the order of the controller to "pick up the enemy independently", he immediately carried out situation analysis and number calculation, and Long Yun, who was nervous about the enemy, soon discovered how powerful the performance of this system was: I saw a green Chinese character prompt appear on the flat display, and the fire control system was asking the pilot if he could enter the reverse side turn in order to launch the missile backwards!

-- Launching missiles backwards?

In the tense and fierce confrontation, Long Yun, who saw this hint, was a little dazed, he clearly remembered that he had exhausted the twenty-four missile mounts of the "Yanlong" in the last confrontation, but he didn't see any of the missiles flying backwards. So what does this system mean, whether the missiles are mounted forward or backward, is this still randomly distributed before each simulated confrontation, and what is drawn?

I couldn't figure out what was going on at all, but at this time, the sound of the alarm system had become more and more sharp, and it was obvious that Major Du Feng's missile attack had come earlier, and at this time he could clearly see the incoming missile in the direction of eight o'clock!

Without having a chance to think more, Long Yun immediately followed the construction of the fire control system with a rod and a rudder, and the huge "Yanlong" fuselage immediately rolled a small half circle, and turned into a side rotation in the opposite direction. Just when he was fully controlling the fighter and had no time to care, he naturally didn't notice the weapon mount prompt at the bottom of the multi-function display, and the two PL-15C icons that were originally mounted in the forward direction first flickered, and then switched to the "backward mounting" pattern within ten seconds - that's right, unlike all traditional fighters, and even light attack aircraft like the X-7 "Fire Dragon", the "Yanlong" with a wide and thick body still has such a design, The PL-15C, which is nearly four meters long, can be disassembled into two sections in the huge magazine in the center line of the fuselage, and then reassembled after completing a 180-degree longitudinal "turn", thus giving the pilot a truly worry-free omnidirectional shooting capability!

Unlike the fourth-generation fighter with a built-in magazine design that is stretched thin and every inch of land is expensive, the "Yanlong", which is similar in physique to a heavy bomber, has much more design margin in the bomb bay in the aircraft, but Long Yun still doesn't know anything about these detailed settings, otherwise he may be even more at a loss and don't know how to give full play to the full combat power of the X-8A.

With the reversal of the missile, the "Yanlong" controlled by Long Yun has also entered the reverse side, out of the horizontal circling confrontation, just when he controlled the fighter to continue circling, and took the initiative to put the pursuers behind in the direction of four o'clock, the airborne fire control system decisively decided to fire, and the two PL-15Cs with the tips backward were immediately thrown out of the magazine, and after a short acceleration to overcome the reverse initial velocity, they rushed towards the only target in the sky.

Launching air-to-air missiles backwards used to be a dream of many pilots, but at the same time it was also a luxury, because ordinary air-to-air missiles, even if they were mounted on weapon pylons with their heads facing backwards, would only become headless flies and fly like flies when they were really launched.

But the PL-15C, which has omnidirectional thrust vector control, can play a role at this time.

Although overcoming the initial speed caused the missile to lose a considerable amount of thruster burning time, for the opponent who was pursuing at high speed behind, the head-on missile still made Du Feng feel a little surprised.

Isn't this guy a newbie?

But what's going on, he still knows such a tactic-

was caught off guard by Long Yun's missile-return rifle, but Du Feng, who was in pursuit, did not panic, he immediately pedaled the rudder to let the landline enter an irregular supersonic serpentine maneuver, drawing a chaotic gray track in the sky. In this way, it was able to dodge the head-on interception of the missiles, and was hit by one of them at close range, and the "Yanlong", which had almost no damage, continued to pursue, but at this time, the Longyun landline in front of it seemed to be addicted to sneak attacks, and I saw that there were two more PL-15Cs flying backwards in the sky!

This tactic of shooting backwards is no stranger to any pilot of the "Yanlong" attack plane, but now the Longyun landline is completely operated by the fire control system of the "Yanlong," and this point is only known to Lu Chunjiang, who is watching the battle, for the time being.

Observing the confrontation between the two X-8A on the folding chair, seeing that Long Yun coincidentally let "Yanlong" use such a means, Colonel Lu raised his hand and scratched his head, and couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth, what kind of situation is this, this hairy boy's luck is really not bad!

But after laughing, he carefully weighed the current air shape, but he shook his head slightly, feeling that this time it would probably be this Long Yun who would lose in the end.

Yes, looking at the current situation, it seems that Du Feng is still being beaten passively.

But with such a two-missile attack at a time, do you still want to stop the rapid pursuit of the active Feifei?

Of course it can't be!

This young man named Long Yun, even if he is crooked, but it can only go so far, you must know that the fully automatic control of the "Yanlong" fire control system is generally used in the air force when it is used to fight with the opponent's fighter jets; Two PL-15 return rifles at a time, if there are one or two F-22s or "Hurricanes" following the buttocks, then of course they will be cleaned up immediately, but now they are chasing a genuine assault aircraft, two PL-15Cs, which is not enough for the thick "Yanlong" to stuff the teeth!

The colonel's speculation, though a bit brutal, has to be said to be quite accurate.

In the blue sky, driving the "Yanlong" all the way to attack and turn sideways, during which he only saw batches of missiles launched by the fire control system to intercept the opponent, and the major plane behind seemed to be reluctantly supporting the left and right rush; But Long Yun was naturally not an ordinary person, and he quickly woke up from his momentary surprise and curiosity, realizing that he would sooner or later fall into danger if he continued like this.

Yes, in order to attack the opponent with missiles, put the major's landline in the direction of six o'clock?

In that case-

Isn't it the same as last time?

Suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately switched the fire control system, Long Yun suddenly pulled the lever to let the landline enter a large-angle climb.

Under the pursuit of Du Feng's landline frequently firing and shells flying, he simply used a strengthened version of the high-strength maneuver; It took a few shells to get out of the major's artillery attack cone, and then a Hebst landed on the wall and forcibly turned back, Long Yun held the joystick tightly with both hands, and fought with the opponent who calmly switched positions on the horizontal plane.

The fingers rise and fall on the button of the cannon from time to time, and the bursts of frustration and vibration of the body are felt, and the sharp "zizi" sound when the electromagnetic cannon is fired seems to be particularly harsh; Without the bursts of muzzle fire and gunsmoke during the fighter duel, the current Long Yun's spirit is even more excited, the target in his field of vision is still moving rapidly, and the strings of shells are roaring and flying between the fighters fighting to the death, and the unprecedented fierce firepower density makes Long Yun's eyes chaotic, as if there are traces of warheads penetrating the air everywhere, and debris and dazzling flashes that explode!
