Chapter 142: Attack! MiG of the Dragon
The morning sun rises as usual, and it's a new day.
That night just passed, what happened in the night, Long Yun didn't know anything about it.
Waking up from his sleep, he washed up and ate early in the morning, and came to the lounge to prepare for battle; The air briefing received by the regiment shows that the NATO air force is still quite active today, and it is a good time for him to make a big fight.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, sitting in the cockpit, the Red No. 13 MiG-29 slid onto the runway with full oil.
"Дракон (dragon), ready, request to attack."
After receiving instructions from the tower, Long Yun waved his fist to his comrades on the side of the runway, and then released the brakes and took off with afterburner.
- Red No. 13, Longyun landline, attack!
With the belief that the enemy will win, Long Yun shouted loudly in his heart, and after sliding less than 400 meters, the head of the plane raised and pierced the blue sky.
Flying in the embrace of the blue sky with the brand-new Red No. 13 MiG-29, Long Yun felt that the control of this successor was still a little jerky, which was unique to the mechanical transmission system, and he could get used to it immediately after running in. Compared to the MiG-29 that was previously used, there were few changes in the cockpit; In addition to the higher brightness of the head-up display than before, the radar display is also a bit different.
It's actually better that way.
The inheritance of weapons, which the Soviet Union has always attached great importance to, is indeed quite applicable in large-scale operations; Thinking of the F-16 he had experienced on a real-world simulator, the cockpit configuration was quite luxurious; But once there is a battle damage, if you can't find the same production batch of models, it will really take a long time to adapt, and you won't be able to take to the air for three or five days.
Soon after the sortie, Long Yun was already close to the battle line of the fierce battle between the two armies, and at this time, the ground guide specially indicated the target information for him.
An air alarm was heard in the channel, and it seemed that a NATO attack plane was spotted at ten o'clock, at an altitude of less than two thousand, and was now directing nearby fighters to intercept it. As for whether Long Yun wants to make peace or not, it all depends on his own intentions.
After receiving the air situation report, Long Yun suddenly became excited. The curtain call battle of the MiG-29, he was looking for a guy to practice his hands, and here it is! This time he did not carry any medium-range missiles, which was just right for approaching low-altitude targets.
Following the instructions of the navigation beacon, he immediately changed course to accelerate, and sprinted towards the target airspace.
After a short acceleration sprint, following the direction of the echo given by the radar, he quickly found the target at low altitude in front of him, and he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but from the fire on the ground nearby, it seemed that the enemy plane had completed the attack and was on the way back. At this time, Long Yun estimated that the distance between us and the enemy was about 10,000 meters, and the artillery was powerless at this time, so he quickly entered the dive to shorten the distance with the enemy plane.
By the time he got close to about five thousand meters, Long Yun's eyesight had allowed him to see his opponent clearly, with a chubby body, short wings, and a stupid pig-like appearance that was quite rare.
-- It turned out to be a Harrier or an AV-8B!
After so many air battles, I really haven't seen this thing. Long Yun thought like this, no wonder it would suddenly come out of nowhere and sneak attack, eighty percent of it took off from a nearby hidden airfield for a short distance.
Looking at the stupid thing below with a short stature and still ignorant of Long Yun's appearance, remembering that there were always people boasting about the so-called maneuverability of this vertical take-off and landing fighter, Long Yun subconsciously shook his head.
What maneuvering characteristics? In front of the MiG-29 it was simply a target aircraft.
Without any fancy maneuvers, he directly dived at a large angle to receive the roll correction, and just when the enemy plane had just entered the head-up display, he pulled the trigger, and the chubby body hit the black smoke straight out, and fell directly to the ground.
Simply kill this enemy plane, Long Yun looked down at the radar display, and knew that this was just his appetizer today.
Just now, a message from the ground guidance station suggested that a large number of NATO fighters were moving near the battle line; In order to cooperate with the large-scale movement warfare on the ground, NATO warplanes stationed in France launched a large-scale attack in an attempt to prop up a defensive umbrella for the ground troops against the Warsaw Pact air attack.
Sure enough, just as he turned to meet the enemy, the belated NATO escort fighters also arrived from the direction of nine o'clock and launched a chase for Long Yun's MiGs.
To Long Yun's surprise, after the first photo, judging from the sharp shape of the enemy aircraft and the layout of the delta wing, it should be the Mirage 2000 of the French Air Force, which he had never seen in previous operations.
It's really interesting, why do you always see some rare models?
Just before he was shot down, Long Yun already knew the general shape of the European battlefield, and the appearance between the French and the NATO European Command was quite obvious on the battlefield. Because they had been fighting passively before, they rarely encountered the fighters of the French Air Force.
But now, since he dared to intercept his Red Thirteen, no matter whose plane it was, it would end up the same. Originally, Long Yun was still a little hesitant, but after the Mirage 2000's long plane fired an R550 "Magic" missile at him, the only remaining doubt disappeared.
Probably these French people have been hiding for a long time, and they still don't know how powerful the Red Thirteen is?
I'm going to show you now!
Such a thought passed in an instant, and Long Yun reversed the sideways and added a string of jamming bombs, which simply shook off the attack of the "Magic" missile, and at the same time faintly formed a circling confrontation against the Mirage 2000 twin aircraft. Seeing the movements of the MiGs, the French accepted the challenge almost without thinking, and the twin aircraft formation and Long Yun's MiG-29 became entangled and spiraled.
But Long Yun was not in the mood to slowly rub against them at this time, there were still many enemy planes active in the north, and he didn't want to waste a minute of his time on these two Mirage 2000s with a worrying level. Using the Mirage 2000, which is good at high-speed raids, to fight the MiG-29 is indeed a stupid strategy, and it seems that the French Air Force, which is hiding in hiding, still lacks combat experience, unlike the Germans and Americans who have experienced ace pilots in battle.
Seeing that his opponent had made such a mistake, Long Yun did not have the slightest mercy, and he immediately turned sharply sideways and followed up with a climbing somersault, putting the wingman of the Mirage 2000 into the missile's attack cone.
The button was pressed, and the R-73 flew into the air, followed by the expected brilliant explosion.
Less than two minutes into the battle, Long Yun won the second result without any suspense. He continued to chase the Mirage 2000 long plane that was accelerating without pause, but found that this guy was probably frightened, and at this time he was running away with all his strength, and the speed seemed to have reached Mach 1.5!
Originally, Long Yun could have been beaten up, but the GCI message reminded him that more enemy planes were approaching him, and he would not do the thing of throwing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds.
Without paying any attention to the lost guy, Long Yun immediately turned to his direction at three o'clock, at this time a large blurred echo could already be seen on the radar, which was not necessarily a signal from an enemy aircraft, but also a sign of the other party's use of electronic interference.
But generally speaking, the place where there was electronic interference was where the enemy planes were, and without any hesitation, he climbed with afterburner and swooped straight in the direction of three o'clock.
The speed of the afterburner soared, and Long Yun's battle intent was unprecedentedly high.
For the final battle of the Red Thirteen, he made up his mind to use all his strength to kill!
Enemies, naturally, the more the better.
