Chapter 140: The Eve of the Last War
That night, Long Yun was not in a hurry to return to the real world, but seriously prepared for the next day's battle.
Before going to check his new landline, the information from the regimental headquarters showed that he had roughly grasped the current combat situation on the French front.
After sweeping through the Federal Republic of Germany and settling the Netherlands and Belgium by the way, after a week or so of all-round advancement, the Soviet ground mobile forces have penetrated deep into the territory of France, bringing the capital Paris into the range of the army's mobile long-range rocket artillery. The current situation of the war can be said to be decided, and the French have no choice but to surrender.
In the course of the westward assault of the Red Iron Stream, apart from a few fierce battles with the improvised American ground forces and the hastily retreating Federal German Army, the Wehrmacht did not resist actively. Under the lead of the ambassador to France, the head of the French government was already holding secret talks with the Soviet side; In other words, the fighting on the European continent will soon be over.
Unlike the appeasement of the French, at such a time when the entire line was about to retreat, the combat activities of the United States land and air force became more and more frequent, and this was probably the last counterattack before retreating. You must know that once France surrenders, it will definitely not allow NATO military forces to continue to be stationed, so they can only retreat to the north of the English Channel and south of the Pyrenees, and it is impossible to dispatch air power to attack the deep territory of the Warsaw Pact-controlled area as easily as now.
The activities of the NATO Air Force have become more frequent recently?
Seeing such a battle report, Long Yun was very much looking forward to it.
In the final battle of the Red Thirteen, he was certainly looking forward to meeting a strong opponent.
After putting down the briefing on the battle situation and greeting the busy adjutant, Long Yun left the regimental headquarters and went to the temporary tent next to the maintenance hangar.
In the makeshift tent in the dark of night, Long Yun chatted with the pilots for a few words, and then participated in the routine inspection of the new Red Thirteen. Long Yun still had mixed emotions about this fighter plane that had just followed him but was destined not to fly into the blue sky often, and he wanted to get in touch with it as much as possible.
When testing the missiles, he already had a plan: if he wanted to maximize the results, it would be better to choose to mount all the R-73s. As for the R-27, the inherent flaws of semi-active radar-guided missiles, even if they are as strong as his ace, do not necessarily ensure that the missile hits the enemy aircraft.
"Okay. Then the missiles are six R-73s, and we will overhaul them again. ”
The busy pilots continued to work overtime, checking the missile's seeker and launch insurance in turn. Long Yun had told them before that one of the missiles he fired had failed during the encounter on the way home, and it was obvious that they were taking this matter very seriously.
Based on the air combat situation at that time, Long Yun speculated that the off-target R-73 should have a problem with the seeker, which was almost the same as the pilot's opinion. Unlike the old model of infrared-guided missiles, the seeker of the R-73 missile needs to be refrigerated, which is estimated to be due to the fact that the missile's seeker has not been refrigerated, and Long Yun has not waited for the lock prompt to launch.
With the advancement of technology, the technical level of modern air-to-air missiles is quite high, and the corresponding maintenance and overhaul tasks have become more onerous. To say that an infrared-guided missile like the R-73 is a simple attack process, but it requires the fire control, refrigeration, and launch mechanism of the carrier aircraft and the missile's seeker, thruster, and warhead fuse to work together to complete it smoothly. If any of these joints fails, the attack will fail, which means great danger in an air battle that is lightning and flint and cannot be attacked.
In the fierce air battle, many pilots do not wait for the fire control system and seeker to lock on to the target when the opportunity is fleeting, but directly attack intuitively. But the price of doing so is that you don't know if the missile is good or not after it is launched; If you lock on and then attack, then the malfunctioning missile will not be launched, and it will naturally be brought back to the base.
However, compared to a life-and-death battle, a missile is certainly nothing.
Seeing that the ground crew pilots were busy, the technician in charge of the electronic part took out a stack of materials to find Long Yun after checking the radar.
"Comrade Major, you see, we reported the electronic jamming equipment before, and the design bureau has already sent some reply."
"Ah, yes!" Long Yun remembered the idea of a missile jammer he had proposed earlier, and hurriedly came up to take a look. What do they think? There is no feasibility. ”
"Oh, yes, it's basically the same as we guessed at the time." The technician pulled out a circuit drawing, "The on-board countermeasure equipment of the MiG-29, theoretically can be improved to meet the requirements." It should be possible to first intercept and detect the radar irradiation wave of the enemy aircraft, and then use the countermeasure antenna to transmit a transfer signal to interfere with the seeker of the AIM-7 missile. ”
Knowing that this plan was basically feasible, Long Yun nodded happily. It's just that he knows that such a modification will take time, and he is about to be transferred, and he may not need it now.
"However, this equipment should only be used in small-scale encounters," the technician continued to explain his understanding, "and if it is irradiated by more than one enemy aircraft, the equipment cannot handle it, which is also common in air combat." Finally, consider the attraction effect of jammers: in a large-scale air battle, it is even possible to direct missiles aimed at other fighters to one's own position, which can be said to be quite dangerous. ”
Long Yun nodded. For the situation that the technician said, complex signal processing circuits were required to deal with it, which was certainly not difficult in the real world, but with the level of technology in the nineties of the Soviet Union, it was quite difficult.
In that case, let's not think about this thing for now!
With his own real kung fu, he can also beat the opponent crying dad and calling his mother.
Long Yun, who climbed into the cockpit to cooperate with the testing process and was busy in the hangar until late at night, probably didn't expect that the attention he received in this world was far beyond his imagination.
……
Washington, D.C., USA.
The Pentagon, which has been bright all night, has been busy since the beginning of the war, like a huge war decision-making machine, and like the nerve center of a giant that never stops.
In the course of more than a month of war, although the European front line is precarious, the mentality of the people in this building on the other side of the ocean has not changed much. For the war across the ocean, probably no one can have a real experience; In the case of the United States of America, the military is concerned, with the exception of the feelings, as if no one is aware that their country is in full swing in what seems to be a protracted world war.
At the end of the long corridor, in an ordinary office, the people sitting on the sofa scanned the furnishings in the room expressionlessly. Right in front of him, the desk was piled with papers and miscellaneous items, and James, the slightly balding director of the intelligence department, was sweating profusely on the phone.
"These subordinates of yours, obviously, are quite poorly capable."
A voice without any emotion, from the man on the couch; Under the dark black sunglasses, only the corners of the mouth are imperceptibly curled.
Hearing this, James froze for a moment, trying to speak but didn't have the courage to tell the difference. Yes, he knew that the person across from him was disappointed right now; These CIA agents sent out by themselves finally found the people and things he desperately needed, but they were attacked by the Russians; They ended up with nothing but the corpse of an old man.
Such a result not only made James feel shameless, but also made him feel inexplicable fear; I don't know why, the first time he saw the man, he could only unconsciously follow his instructions and complete any task he gave him, without a trace of other thoughts and thoughts.
That man...... Who is that person? What the hell is he......
"Alright, don't worry about the professor and the box."
Putting away Erlang's legs on stilts, the man's tone showed a rare impatience.
Looking at the poor creature in front of him, the man knew quite well in his heart what the KGB institutions of the Russians were capable of; When it comes to what they have in their hands, it is even more difficult to get it back than to ascend to the sky.
Even if it were him, even if he had an unprecedented amount of power to rely on - it would be quite difficult. Not to mention, the Russian pilot who caught his attention was actually rescued by the Russians in the same operation, and the ability of these CIAs to do things is simply extremely low.
But what can be done about it? There are some things that he can't do alone.
Looking at the huge map on the wall, the man's gaze lingered for a moment. After a moment, he raised his hand and stroked his smooth jaw thoughtfully.
"The professor also has an assistant. Find him. ”
In a simple word, James seemed to have received a hundred thousand urgent orders, and he continued to be busy at the messy desk, looking anxious and chaotic, like a poor mouse stared at by a giant cat. Without looking at him again, the man stood up and paced to the large, somewhat old map.
Caucasus.
With his eyes fixed on the land, the man thought of the intelligence report, and the origin of the mysterious thing; However, he immediately gave up on the idea, and instead slowly wandered his gaze over the vast area.
His overall plan is currently going fairly smoothly.
Those allies who are useless are either subdued in three or two strokes, or simply have their own little abacus; But it doesn't matter, they are just pawns for sacrifice, and in the end they are just stepping stones for his plans.
Will the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the lame giant whose glory is no longer glorious, with one foot in the mire of Europe, still withstood this unexpected blow? Looking at the map, the man could fully imagine that in the Caucasus, a rugged but strategically important place, with enough pressure, unexpected results could be achieved.
Then, it was one step closer to his goal......
The man's gaze, drifting slightly to the right, landed on another area of the map. Suddenly, he felt a burst of pride and secret joy for no reason for his wonderful war director.
The curtain has opened, are you still worried that there will be no ending?
