Chapter 499: Abduction and Pursuit
Facts have proved that Long Yun's two sentences were shouted in a very timely manner.
But shouting and reminding is one thing, whether anyone at the scene can understand it, that's another thing.
While approaching in the direction of the runway, seeing that the door of the hangar, which is rarely opened, was slowly retreating to the side, the officer leading the team was obviously very surprised, and he immediately waved his hand to let his soldiers rush up to find out the situation, and at the same time ordered a second lieutenant next to him to take out a walkie-talkie to contact the airport command, sound the combat alarm and enter a state of alert.
Listening to the shouts of the suspected Rezenov just now, could it be that someone is going to hijack the fighter plane here?
In this seemingly slack-ready airfield, it usually seemed to be silent and unguarded, but with the officer's order, the soldiers who belonged to the airport garrison immediately took action. Monitored by two soldiers and walking to the wall of a building, Long Yun saw several heavily armed soldiers running out of the barracks not far away, and he was very sharp-eyed to find that one of them was also carrying a slender portable missile launcher on his shoulder, as if it was the 9K34 type with the Western designation SA-14, they were planning to shoot the hijacked plane?
Thinking of this, Long Yun felt that something was wrong, and the use of portable anti-aircraft missiles at the airport was a dozen and one accurate against the fighter planes that took off with afterburner; If you use this thing to shoot at the butt of the fighter, then don't you want to explode in the air on the spot?
Didn't you sue them, if you could, you still catch them alive!
Although he was very anxious, Long Yun still tried his best to calm down, and he even asked the soldiers beside him to take him to see the commander, but now the base was already in chaos. Hoarse and mournful loud sirens also sounded over the airport. The soldiers couldn't hear what he was saying for a moment.
Seeing that talking has no effect. Long Yun was thinking about whether to use his superpowers to get rid of the soldiers in front of him, but he saw that the door of the hangar, which was less than two hundred meters away from him, was completely open, and with the gradually increasing low roar, a huge silver-white plane taxied out of the hangar, and slowly drove into the airport runway under the surprised gaze of the surrounding soldiers.
The first time he caught a glimpse of the plane, Long Yun's eyes widened in surprise.
Is there something wrong with that nasty Yankee—is he going to fly away in a bomber?
From afar, the huge plane that had taxied out of the hangar and was climbing onto the runway. With a towering tail and a huge swept wing, the main landing gear seems to have a lot of wheels, and it is clearly a bomber!
Fortunately, the initial surprise passed quickly, and Long Yun was still a competent Soviet Air Force pilot, and he quickly corrected his wrong impression; Squinting his eyes and taking a closer look, he determined that the plane was not a bomber, but a product of the famous Tupolev Design Bureau, and the model number was supposed to be called the Tu-128.
The Tu-128, although it has the word "figure" in its name, is actually a long-range interceptor that the USSR Territorial Defense Forces used to be equipped with in large quantities in the sixties of the last century. This large fighter with a strong Tupolev style. At over twenty-eight meters in length, it resembles a medium bomber. In fact, it was indeed designed and developed on the basis of the original bomber.
At that time, the Tu-128, which had a range of 6,000 kilometers, was very popular with the Soviet Territorial Defense Force, although its performance was average and its maneuverability was poor, because the range was too important to carry out homeland defense missions in the vast hinterland of the Soviet Union. If you don't have a specific concept of this number, you can refer to China's H-6 medium-range bomber, which has a range of only about 6,000 kilometers.
I didn't expect to see this kind of antique stuff here!
Before he could satisfy his curiosity, Long Yun looked away from the Tu-128, and saw that some of the soldiers who had scattered and ran forward had already begun to fire warning shots, but they were obviously worried, and no bullets really greeted the fighter at first.
For a long-range fighter like the Tu-128, since it is about to take off, it is now equivalent to a big bomb filled with fuel, and if you shoot rashly, it may be a loud bang and a fireball. But it was too late, it was fast, the acceleration and take-off process of the plane was quite short, and in such a short time, the Tu-128 that climbed onto the runway was already at full afterburner, and it began to accelerate and slide away, and it seemed that it would soon raise its head and fly into the blue sky!
Is that hateful guy going to run away like this!
Witnessing this situation, not only did Long Yun feel a little angry, but the officers not far in front witnessed the hijacking of the plane in the base, and the anger in his heart at this time can be imagined.
What's going on?
- Whatever, knock it down first!
"Fire! Semyon, Ilyich, with 'Arrow' missiles! ”
The officer's loud shouting is very reasonable. As the person in charge of airport security, although there has been such a mess now, it is very dereliction of duty, but to say that a fighter plane was hijacked by American spies? The trouble was much greater, and he could fully imagine how his superiors would be furious, and how the KGB agents who came to investigate would be angry.
But what if the order is given decisively to open fire and knock the plane down?
Then the situation is very different: it is better to lose a plane anyway, and it is better to crash on the ground than to be hijacked by secret agents.
As the commander waved his pistol and gave a loud order, the soldiers not far away had already carried the launcher to their shoulders and began to track and try to lock on to the Tu-128, which had left the runway and was accelerating away. Hearing the "Didi" sound from the launcher on the soldier's shoulder from a distance, Long Yun knew that the missile's infrared homing head had sensed an obvious thermal radiation signal, which would definitely be nine out of ten if he pulled the trigger.
Feed! How can you be so reckless-
"Bang!"
With a loud and dull firing sound, a large cloud of white smoke rose around the soldier, and the missile, which looked like an arrow from a string, suddenly burst out of the launch canister and flew into the sky with the burning orange flame of the main thruster. Compared with the 9K34 missile, which accelerated away like lightning and distorted its trajectory like a wild bee, the Tu-128 with a bright tail flame in the sky still swayed like a heavy fat goose. Seeing that the fighter plane is in a catastrophe!
For the first time, I saw the launch of a MANPADS up close. This qiē was carried out as quickly as lightning. In a matter of seconds, the missile disappeared from Long Yun's sight, and it should have flown thousands of meters away.
The missile is far away, but did it hit?
Not only Long Yun, but also the officers who had given the order just now and all the soldiers present stretched their necks to look into the distance, waiting to watch the gorgeous scene of fireworks bursting out in the sky; But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in the air, only the Tu-128 that was accelerating to climb was obviously unharmed, only a small ball of fire exploded behind the fighter, indicating that the missile had self-destructed before it missed the target.
Not without hits. Rather an early explosion?
"--But, damn!"
Witnessing this qiē and angry wielding of the pistol, the officer couldn't help but curse in place. If you can't hit the target under the same shooting conditions like this, is it because the missile homing head is out of order? No, just now everyone heard the "Didi" sound of the system's locking prompt, and the seeker has obviously captured the target, so it can only be said that there is something wrong with the warhead fuse.
Seeing that the huge fighter plane in the sky gradually turned into a small dot, the officer still shouted unwillingly:
"Don't be stunned, go carry another launcher!"
While ordering the other soldiers to fetch the missile launchers to continue firing, the officer sighed a little frustrated, knowing that it would be difficult for the MANPADS to hit the fighter plane that had already flown away. At the moment, the only way to do this is to send fighter planes to chase and kill.
Just when there was chaos in the base just now, the alarmed airport guards had already moved quickly. They belonged to the 252nd Territorial Air Defense Regiment of the Soviet Territorial Defense Force, and because of their outdated equipment and unsatisfactory training intensity, they could only undertake the task of air defense combat readiness in the hinterland of the Soviet Union.
Nevertheless, stimulated by the news that "American agents infiltrated the base and stole a plane", everyone at the airport took action and quickly prepared for the rest of the fighters to attack, and the KrAZ-255 diesel tractor pulled two Tu-128 interceptors with full fuel and four K-80 series missiles to the runway, and the engines were also started by the ground crew and kept in a slow state.
Taking advantage of this short period of time, Long Yun had already cleared up the misunderstanding with the airport commander, and he quickly changed into the flight suit provided by the base and climbed the steep boarding ladder to enter the cockpit.
Seeing the major general of the aviation corps who appeared out of nowhere in front of him, and at this time he was about to personally fly the Tu-128 fighter to attack, and the pilots and ground crew pilots who were watching were stunned in place; Viktor Rezenov, the number one ace of the Red Air Force, seems to be confident in performing such tasks, could it be that he flew the Tu-128 before?
Or is it that as long as he is an ace pilot, when he reaches his level, he can eat all the models?
The temporary cameo appearance of the Tu-128 pilot, not only the people present were a little muttering, but even the pilot, who was sitting in the back seat of the interceptor and was in charge of weapons control, was also a little worried after seeing Long Yun jump into the driver's seat.
On the one hand, as a member of the Soviet Air Armed Forces, I had just seen the "god of the sky" in the eyes of all the pilots, and the arms controller was very excited; But on the other hand, he is also a little worried, can this number one ace, who has been flying Su-27 fighters before, really control the huge and bulky Tu-128?
Well, anyway, it's up to you to play now!
Sitting in the cramped cab, Long Yun, who was aware of the suspicious atmosphere around him, observed the layout of the dashboard, and he really didn't know much about this outdated large interceptor. But because of the clumsiness of this record, he doesn't need any superb flying skills to fly, and he is confident that he can still handle it.
After all, the target to be pursued has superpowers, and if he doesn't go up and stare at it himself, he can't rest assured.
With both engines at full full throttle, after accelerating and taxiing on the runway for hundreds of meters, the massive fuselage of the Tu-128 interceptor flew off the runway and began to climb, and a chase between heavy interceptors began. (To be continued......)
