Chapter 199: Stavropol
Isn't it?
Now such a shape shì is needed by such an ace as Viktor Rezenov to press the formation.
In the military intelligence briefing delivered by the KGB commissioner, it was shown that the Americans had massed heavy troops in Turkey and Iran in the past month; The most important thing is that the deployment of air forces has increased by a large margin, and the total number of NATO fighter planes initially estimated to be deployed has exceeded 1,400.
Originally, this number was already more than all the active fighters of the Soviet Union deployed in the Caucasus and the fighter aviation regiments, and considering that the second-generation fighters on the Soviet side, whether it was the MiG-23 series or the Su-11 and Su-15, the combat capability was difficult to compete with the American F-15 and F-16, and the number of third-generation fighters such as the MiG-29 and Su-27 was relatively limited, so it can be said that the air pressure on the southern front was quite heavy.
Not to mention, according to intelligence agency reports, the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group now sailing in the Mediterranean, a NATO ally that has been confirmed to be stationed in the eastern Mediterranean, covering the southern side of the Black Sea; The other is about to cross the Strait of Gibraltar and will obviously arrive soon.
On the motherships of the two aircraft carrier battle groups, there are also more than 100 third-generation fighters in the air power, and this situation certainly exacerbates the combat pressure on them in person.
Such an idea, coupled with the recent sustained high-intensity sorties, has made Commander Samsonov feel quite suspicious; Personally, he really can't see how the Americans are calculating. Why did the Caucasus, a region full of lofty mountains and mountains that is clearly not suitable for large-scale ground operations, become one of the main fronts of NATO's all-out operations?
Of course, it may be their goal to capture a large number of military and industrial targets along the Black Sea coast, but to say that they want to get involved in the Soviet Union with this little strength is too self-conscious.
"The Americans are so active in the Caucasus, I am afraid that they want him to shock their opponents and kill the morale of the enemy."
"Oh? - Could it be that the number one ace won't be here for long? β
"Not necessarily. Hey! Either way, I'm looking forward to the fighting power of this ace. β
Isn't it? I had heard of this Viktor Rezenov's amazing record before, and I didn't expect that the above would transfer him so generously; Since this Air Force lieutenant colonel was able to shoot down 25 MiG-29s, it was only a month after the start of the war, and many pilots were just entering the state!
So let him control the more powerful Su-27, surely he can achieve better results?
- Of course, it also depends on how well he masters, and whether he can adapt to the tactics and style of play in their regiment.
While thinking like this, when Samsonov approached the tarmac and saw the ace of the fighter from a distance, the pilots and pilots in the regiment who had rushed over after hearing the news had already come to see the excitement; They were quite curious and very enthusiastic about the trump card in the middle, greeting and asking questions quite lively.
"Hey! Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, tell us the story of your operations on the Western Front! β
"Now is not the time to tell stories! -- Our trump card, when will we tell us about the tactics of war? β
"How is Moscow, are the girls there welcoming? β¦β¦β
Being watched by a large group of people, asking and asking, and constantly shaking hands with people, Long Yun's head is a little messed up now.
He really didn't expect that his arrival would cause such a scene; It's not that his whereabouts are kept secret, so no one here should know about his arrival?
Molotov, who was standing on the sidelines, also found it amusing to see that everyone was so enthusiastic about the new lieutenant colonel; When the crowd was more or less quiet, and when he saw Commander Samsonov walking in the distance, he took a few steps forward and saluted, and then shook the big hand stretched out by the commander.
"Comrade Regiment Commander, I have already sent the person, and I am ready to return home!"
Molotov, who was working as a flight instructor at this time from the aviation training unit stationed in the Moscow region, had worked with Regiment Commander Samsonov before, and the two men were of course quite happy to meet.
"I said, did you try to drive the Su-27 on the road to this ace you sent?"
Seeing that the one who sent Long Yun was really a Su-27UB two-seater trainer type, in fact, this is also what Samsonov meant, probably let him familiarize himself with the temperament of this fighter first.
Hearing the words of the regiment commander, Molotov raised his eyebrows quite excitedly:
"Really! This lieutenant colonel is not simple, I just give a hint that on the road he was already able to fly the Su-27 on a supersonic maneuvering flight. β
"Oh?" Samsonov was obviously a little surprised, "Is it safe to do this?" Are you too reckless and reckless? β
"No, no!"
Shaking his head at the old acquaintance, he looked back at Long Yun, who was still in the crowd, and Molotov's tone was also full of disbelief. "If it weren't for the combat experience before the knower was the ace, I wouldn't have believed that he hadn't touched the Su-27 a day before! But judging by his driving movements, he is more proficient than the young men who have been flying in the training base for two or three months. β
Hearing Molotov's explanation, Samsonov nodded thoughtfully, and then also looked at Long Yun in the crowd next to him.
Sure enough, it's the number one trump card, isn't it?
If ordinary people want to become an ace, they may have to rely on hard work, brains and courage; But such a super ace, in addition to all other conditions, must also have amazing talent.
While thinking like this, Samsonov said goodbye to Molotov, told him to wait for the routine inspection of the fighter planes to complete the routine inspection and then returned to the flight, and then walked to the crowd on the side.
At this time, Long Yun, after a lively greeting, was listening to the person next to him introduce a pilot with a rather tall figure and a well-defined face, he had just learned that this dark-skinned major pilot was called Kamenev, and he was the number one ace in the regiment.
"Hey! This is Kamenev, there are already seven downed results! β
"Hello, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel."
Shaking hands with the ace with two pinches of mustache, Long Yun had a simple conversation, he felt that this unsmiling ace major seemed to be a little restrained, and there was a rather complicated trace of emotion in his eyes.
However, at this time, the surroundings were very chaotic, and seeing the burly soldier who said goodbye to Molotov not far away, Long Yun intuitively realized that this officer with the rank of colonel was the commander here, so he didn't have the time to use his consciousness to snoop, but looked at the middle-aged man who was walking towards them.
"Ah, Comrade Rezenov! Hello, I'm Vasily Samsonov, commander of the 237 Fighter Aviation Regiment, and welcome to you! β
