Chapter 824: The Eighth Master's Raid
For the audience present today, in addition to the first game of the rematch of "Chenlong", the personnel adjustment of the team is also worth paying attention to.
The so-called "there is no impermeable wall in the world", long before the start of the rematch, the first brother of the "Chenlong" team and the much-talked-about Long Yun has disappeared from the list of declared participants, although the team did not officially release the news, but it still caused many people to speculate and reverie.
In today's hall spectator seat, many people are also talking about this matter, and some people speculate that he was dug into the corner by a powerful veteran team, but he was unanimously refuted by the fans next to him:
"It's impossible, no one can poach Captain Long!"
"That's it, I said this brother, you don't know what the relationship between him and the image spokesperson of 'Chenlong' is-hey, isn't that beautiful Su Xue also here today, and is sitting there? Tsk, I'm going to try to take a picture with her later......"
"True or false? How did I hear that this is not the case,"
Anyway, the game hasn't started yet, and the man with glasses sitting next to a few people is holding popcorn in his hand, chewing and still saying, "The investor of 'Chenlong' is a twenty-year-old girl, you can just search on the Internet to know that someone broke the news that he is the investor's personal driver, and there must be ** between the two - anyway, I think it is impossible for Long Yun to leave 'Chenlong', even if he works part-time, he must choose a good owner." ”
"Driver—? Drivers can still compete in aviation, is flying a plane the same as driving? ”
"How is that possible, just kidding! ……”
The fans in the hall are still chatting enthusiastically around the game and even gossip, but this bustling scene is unknown to the players.
Seeing that the competition is about to officially begin. Walk slowly from the preparation room to the take-off area. Both Bian Chao and Liu Wei have abandoned distractions and concentrated. They met today's opponents at the game login, Li Tiezhu and Yu Min from the Inner Mongolia "Chifeng" team, and after shaking hands, they exchanged words and left.
Unlike the group stage match, each match in the semi-finals will produce a team that will be eliminated.
With the consciousness of "must win", he walked all the way from the login office to the airport runway and got into the cab of the red 01 J-10A "Raptor". Bian Chao habitually looked around for a while before sitting down and pressing the button to close the canopy.
After a tense pre-game busyness, the ground crew pilots were ready for the fighter to take off, and Bian Chao skillfully used an external power source to start the engine, and the smooth operation of the WS-10C engine brought a slight sense of vibration, which was transmitted to the cockpit through the guò body structure; After nearly half a month of adaptive training, he skillfully completed the self-inspection of the airborne equipment, tested the pneumatic control surface and the navigation and communication systems working normally, and after receiving the instructions of the tower to "allow take-off", he asked Liu Wei on the radio:
"Hole two, hole two. Are you ready? ”
"Dong two received, the landline status is normal. You can attack! ”
Hearing Liu Wei's loud reply, Bian Chao decisively loosened the brakes, pushed the throttle valve forward, and led Liu Wei's red No. 02 fuselage to move and accelerate forward.
When the two fighters slid out of less than 300 meters one after the other, Bian Chao made the landline look up, and the silver-gray "Raptor" front wheel left the ground at once; Although the sliding speed at this time did not meet the requirements of the fighter to take off, it was very easy for the J-10A with a canard wing layout to raise its head, and he continued to maintain the maximum thrust of the engine and slid forward for more than 100 meters.
Pull the lever and raise the head before the fighter accelerates to the ground speed, this method is only used during emergency takeoff, but Bian Chao intends to use this process to improve the coordination between partners - unlike the ordinary acceleration and gently pulling the lever, the fighter immediately raises its head and leaves the runway, and when the storage speed is insufficient, the nose of the aircraft is pulled up first, and when the fuselage leaves the ground is not something that the pilot can accurately control, and the actions of the long plane and the wingman need to be synchronized here.
After taking off, climb all the way, according to the tactics formulated before the game, the "Chenlong" twin aircraft plan to use the J-8IIM fighter "Chifeng" to conduct a high-altitude over-the-horizon competition, which is not only to have confidence in the high-altitude and high-speed ability of the J-10A, but also to allow the inexperienced Liu Wei to have the opportunity to play and accumulate actual combat experience.
With the continuous increase in the altitude number on the heads-up display, less than two minutes after takeoff, the "Chenlong" twin planes had already climbed smoothly to a flight altitude of more than 10,000 meters.
Before the game, the typical tactics of the "Chifeng" twin planes were studied, and the two players generally climbed into the combat airspace first, and then used the downward view mode of the airborne radar to find the enemy plane, and launched a fierce missile salvo.
The J-10A, which attaches great importance to high-altitude and high-speed capabilities in the design, has a large degree of static instability in order to improve maneuverability, and cannot become a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor with extreme speed, but it also has quite good high-speed characteristics. Commanding the "Chenlong" twin planes to maintain a dense formation and search for opponents at an altitude of 11,000 meters, this combat method can't help but remind Bian Chao of some old examples of warfare that his father talked about, and the high-altitude and high-speed confrontation mode has been a tactic many years ago, and it seems a little outdated in today's era, but the feeling of occasionally experiencing it is quite novel.
From the analysis of the data before the game, it is known that the J-8IIM fighter of "Chifeng" is equipped with the ZHUK-8II radar originating in Soviet Russia, and the detection capability of this radar and the 1473 pulse Doppler radar of the J-10A can be said to be half a catty, and now it is not an advanced model.
Based on a certain gap in the RCS, Long Yun estimated that the head-on detection distance of the Type 1473 radar to the J-8IIM fighter was about 90 kilometers, while the "Chifeng" twin aircraft should not have more than 75 kilometers to detect their J-10A.
In order to make full use of the asymmetric advantage of radar detection and avoid being attacked by the opponent, the Longyun twin planes dispersed far from the left and right after a short formation flight and began to search in level flight at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.
According to the rules of the IFT competition, the airspace of the two-plane confrontation is only 50 kilometers in radius, which is quite narrow for a modern jet fighter; However, two minutes have passed since entering the airspace of the engagement, and the position of the "Chenlong" twin aircraft is also close to the center of the airspace, but there is still no trace of the opponent, and seeing that there is no hint on the multi-function display, Bian Chao looked around in the cockpit with a little doubt.
The players in the sky are not clear about the situation in the airspace for the time being, but the audience watching the broadcast on the ground understands very well that the action of the "Chifeng" twin planes is a bit unusual now, they have climbed to an altitude of 14,000 meters, waiting for an opportunity at the edge of the battle area!
This situation is the first time they have encountered it, can they deal with it calmly?
The spectators on the ground sweated, and they were nervously searching for the enemy's side Chao in the air, and they were also speculating about some of the tactics that the opponent might adopt. For a competition without the support of early warning aircraft and ground guidance, finding the target is the first priority of the fighter, and he now estimates that the altitude of the "Chifeng" twin aircraft will only be higher than his own, and the distance is still far away; Although equipped with two WP-13B engines, the body of the J-8IIM is heavier, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is not superior to the J-10A.
Thinking of this, Bian Chao was relieved, after all, the standard over-the-horizon weapon of the J-8IIM is only the PL-11 with semi-active radar guidance, which is not very tricky, so he switched to the radar and continued to approach Liu Wei to the center of the airspace, even if the opponent finds them first, he is not worried.
The power of the PL-11 missile, he has not seen it before, so he is here to try it today!
In this way, after flying out of less than 5,000 meters, the radar alarm began to sound very dutifully, and judging from the indication information on the display screen, Bian Chao found that the "Chifeng" twin planes had run to the direction of eight o'clock behind them.
Before I knew it, I was behind me, which means that both sides were looking for each other just now, and the results were all missing?
Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to keep the radio silent, Bian Chao briefly contacted Liu Wei in the channel, reminded him to pay attention to the opponent's over-the-horizon missile attack, and then entered the side of the steep slope, ready to turn around to meet the enemy.
The battle took place at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and the "Chenlong" twin planes turned on afterburner acceleration while pressing the slope to complete the turn, preparing to launch the PL-12 leading radar-guided missile carried by themselves after accelerating through the sound barrier. At this moment, the radar warning equipment in the cockpit of the side overturned the prompt, probably because of the way they maneuvered just now to make the J-8IIM's ZHUK-8II radar temporarily unlocked, and the "Chifeng" twin planes mistakenly thought that they were evading in a big maneuver, so they seized the opportunity to lock on and launched the first wave of missile attacks!
The opponent has already fired first, and the "Chenlong" twin planes here have also captured the high-flying J-8IIM twin planes, with a distance of 50,000 kilometers and an altitude of 14,050 at a distance of 50,000 from the enemy and 14,050 at a height.
On the one hand, the height is 10,000 and has just broken through the sound barrier, and on the other hand, the height is close to 15,000 and the speed is Mach 1.7?
The speed of the attack was extremely fast, and the combat intent of the "Chifeng" twin planes had been fully revealed, and Bian Chao quickly determined one point, and they used the high-altitude and high-speed raid tactics that they had tried many times in the previous group stage.
