Chapter 464: Sonic Boom

Away from the British, this was the only useful information left after that brief correspondence between the E4 ships and Task Force 38 in the Green Paint Zone. But given the breadth and depth of Chinese, the amount of information contained in these seven characters is a bit large.

"Task Force 38 keeps us away from the British, that is to say, the British are friends and foes, at least LN334 didn't accidentally hit friendly planes just now!" Zhang Jinshan, the foreman of the small package, said.

"Not necessarily, perhaps the Green Paint Zone and the British are neither allies nor enemies, and given our location near the Straits of Malacca, the choke point in the South China Sea, it would be normal for Task Force 38 to remind us to stay away from those 'gentlemen' who have paranoia about being killed." Su Yan said.

"Or, the people in the Green Paint Zone are indeed allies with the British, but that doesn't mean we don't need to guard against the British." Su Yan continued to analyze.

"What? Are allies still on guard? How do you say that? "Zhang Jinshan is a little out of the corner.

"There's nothing strange about it, selling teammates, which one is stronger? Look for cows on the island of Great Britain! Su Yan said.

This is really not Su Yan's scandalization of John Niu, just as the pit teammate Italy is the strongest, there is really no one among the powers who is more shameless than Niu Niu than selling his teammates. As early as the 18th century, John Bull let Prussia carry France, Tsarist Russia, and Austria-Hungary alone in the "Seven Years' War", but he took the opportunity to grab more benefits in North America.

Later, during the Napoleonic Wars, John Bull organized an anti-French alliance seven times, and persistently fooled the European countries to confront the little man. Before the outbreak of World War II, the Sudetenland of the Czech Republic was sold, and after the German blitzkrieg attacked Poland, only planes were sent to drop leaflets to prevaricate the offensive and defensive alliance promises against Poland. Then Niu Niu fooled Germany to scold the Soviet Union, but he made a fuss, and then Niu Niu pulled the Soviet Union and the United States to scare the head of state together, and the thickness of his face is really unprecedented!

Of course, what made the Chinese people gnash their teeth the most was Niu Niu's betrayal of the Chinese expeditionary force into Burma. Although the British army withdrew without warning in the Burma Tonggu defensive battle, which caused their flanks to be exposed to the Japanese front, the Chinese expeditionary force into Burma still fell in the way of John Bull in the subsequent defense of Mandalay. This time, Niu Niu was sold more thoroughly, which directly caused more than half of the soldiers of the expeditionary force to sleep in a foreign land, and the Savage Mountain alone devoured more than 30,000 Chinese hot-blooded youths.

"I'm rubbing! He also calls himself a 'gentleman', it turns out that this kind of British, who sells his teammates, is really not less! After Zhang Jinshan went through Su Yan's science popularization, he found that John Bull was not as dignified as he was in film and television dramas.

"So, judging from the fact that we can't operate the E4 ship at the moment, it is the best policy not to let the British find out our traces." Su Yan concluded.

"Sir, I just want to know what I should do with those six?" Kang Xiaoshuai kept listening to Su Yan's story on the radio, obviously a little impatient.

"What to do? With your level of artillery and the only remaining Sidewinder air-to-air missile, what else can you do with them? You don't want to sink them all to the bottom of the ocean again, do you? After hearing about the current bomb load of this F15C and evaluating Kang Xiaoshuai's driving level, Su Yan also had no confidence.

"Sir, if you have to shoot down these eight planes to buy you enough time, I have a way to get them all overboard. It's just that this method is a bit risky, you know, after all, my operation is at the rookie level. Kang Xiaoshuai said.

"You don't want to play the 'Barents scalpel', do you?" The rough embryo who used to work in the tower of a civilian airport interjected.

On September 13, 1987, over the Barents Sea, the Norwegian Air Force's P-3B anti-submarine patrol aircraft, while carrying out reconnaissance missions along the coast of the Soviet Union, encountered a Soviet Su-27 fighter, the Soviet fighter approached the P-3B for the third time, passed under the right wing of the P-3B at high speed, and cut a big hole with a vertical tail on the No. 1 engine on the right side of the P-3B. In the end, this thrilling story ended with the P-3B and the Su-27 returning to their respective homes, but this did not prevent it from becoming the famous "scalpel over the Barents Sea" incident during the Cold War that military fans talked about.

"I can't fly the F15C with such difficult maneuvers, and in terms of the structural strength of the ancient aircraft of this era, even if I have the technology, they may not be able to withstand the wake of the F15C when it approaches. My plan is precisely to let the strong air currents cause them to crash or even disintegrate. Kang Xiaoshuai said.

"Do you want to get close to these planes and fly to break the sound barrier to cause a sonic boom?" The blank tube was quick to express his conjecture.

"Breaking the sound barrier? I don't think these ancient wooden planes will be able to withstand it without breaking the sound barrier. Kang Xiaoshuai said.

By breaking through the sound barrier to generate sound waves and air wave effects to strike and deter the enemy, a stalk that has appeared in some Chinese and foreign film and television works. The female CIA agent in the Hollywood blockbuster "13 Hours of Crisis" begged the Eagle Air Force to fly the F16 at low altitude in order to use a sonic boom to deter the militants besieging the embassy. And a certain domestic "blockbuster" even performed this stalk wonderfully, directly using a certain fighter to break through the sound barrier at low altitude to trigger a sonic boom, thus killing the enemy.

Of course, these are not plots imagined by the screenwriter. In 1977, an illegal armed group from a small South Asian country hijacked a commuter train in the Netherlands. In order to rescue the hostages, an F104 fighter of the Dutch Air Force made several ultra-low-altitude sonic flights over the railway station, and the fighter jet triggered a sonic boom. Powerful loud sound waves and air currents incapacitated the terrorists, and the Dutch commandos took the opportunity to rescue the hostages.

The so-called sonic boom is that when the sound barrier is broken, due to the compression of the air by the object itself, it cannot propagate rapidly, and gradually accumulates on the windward side of the object to eventually form a shock surface, and the acoustic energy is highly concentrated on the shock surface. When this energy reaches people's ears, it causes a short and extremely strong explosion called a sonic boom.

Of course, when an object with a velocity of more than Mach 0.9 passes close enough to you, you feel more than just the acoustic energy, especially if the object is large enough, such as an F15C fighter jet.

The wake from the F15C when it breaches the sound barrier makes nearby adults unsteady on their feet, and the shock wave it brings can also resonate and damage the surrounding buildings. Of course, as long as you stand close enough, bleeding from your eyes and nose is a small thing.

And those ancient planes that Kang Xiaoshuai jokingly called will automatically disintegrate when the wind is stronger, obviously can't bear the flight of a big guy like F15C to break through the sound barrier by his side. Now the question is whether Kang Xiaoshuai, whose physical fitness and flying skills are far from meeting the standards of qualified pilots, can withstand the pressure brought about by flying to break through the sound barrier.
