Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 588 Clear the place and follow me back to the office

The unguided air rocket completely relies on its own power to fly out of the rocket nest. Whether it can hit the target and where it hits depends entirely on the shooting skills of the pilot. The more stable the fighter aircraft's posture, the more accurate it can judge the wind speed and direction, and the more accurate it can grasp the impact point, and the more accurate it will be.

Aerial fire target shooting is the most commonly trained ground attack subject, which includes shooting moving ground targets. It can be said that Li Zhan fought more aircraft fires than aircraft guns. The Air Force has long lacked ground strike ammunition, but there are many types of air-to-air missiles. Since the 1990s, China's air-to-air missiles have been at the forefront of the world.

The monster blank bombs that Li Zhan once fought are proof of this - with a maximum range of more than 300 kilometers, a terminal flight speed of Mach 5, and a projectile body of almost eight meters long, heavy fighter jets such as the J-11 series can only carry Can mount two.

Therefore, for a long period of time, aircraft fire was the main ammunition used by the Air Force to support ground fire support. This tradition naturally followed the HNA troops. Now the HNA troops often use aircraft fire in live-fire assaults at sea.

Can aircraft fire sink a ship?

It is more difficult to sink a military ship of more than 1,000 tons, but it does not necessarily have to be sunk to make a ship lose its combat effectiveness. And if you are really lucky and several aircraft fires hit the same location, it is not impossible to penetrate the hull and deck.

Li Zhan was dealing with armed pirate ships of seven to eight hundred tons. Of course, those civilian-standard ships were incompetent, and Li Zhan's accuracy was so high.

A series of 90mm caliber aviation rockets flew out in a line of fire, with flight trajectories that were difficult to detect with the naked eye. All seven aerial fires from the first seven-tube launcher hit the target, and two of them hit the cockpit. The prefabricated fragments generated by the explosion blew the pirates inside into sieves. Others crackled through the decks and started fires below.

Li Zhan saw that the artillery on the target deck was still firing, and immediately turned on the power of the second launcher, and seven more aircraft fires were fired.

"Boom boom boom!"

The continuous explosions stunned Li Zhan - the aircraft fire in this launcher was actually an armor-piercing warhead!

The entire armed pirate ship was blown into a wreckage, with few pieces remaining intact. It should have penetrated the deck and hit the ammunition compartment under the main gun on the bow, otherwise such a violent explosion would not have occurred.

"The aircraft maintenance of a certain regiment is very good! You know how to put armor-piercing warheads on me!" Li Zhan laughed loudly, quickly accelerated and pulled out a quick turn, and immediately established a second attack route.

When he entered the second attack route and prepared to attack the second target, he suddenly discovered that another armed pirate ship was making an emergency turn. He quickly judged the trend of its trajectory and keenly discovered that if it wanted to avoid colliding with the target armed pirate ship, it must turn on the extended line of the ballistic trajectory and keep sailing in the same direction as the target armed pirate ship. In other words, the two armed pirate ships would be in A certain node in the near future is on a line.

Li Zhan had a bold idea and quickly calculated in his mind.

About twenty-one seconds later, the two armed pirate ships were in line. The error should be two or three seconds, but this error would not have an impact on the attack.

Li Zhan decisively postponed the launch, slowed down and continued to approach.

As the distance got closer, artillery shells of various calibers began to fly up and down from the left and right sides of the cockpit. The whistling sound caused by the supersonic flying artillery shells breaking through the air rang clearly in Li Zhan's ears. Several 40mm artillery shells with proximity fuses exploded on the side, and the prefabricated fragments hit the fighter plane, making the fighter plane tremble.

Li Zhan quickly checked his condition and found that it was a false alarm. It was probably just a skin injury. Looking again at the left side of the canopy, there was an obvious scratch, and I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the wrong angle, he would probably have to open the top again.

He thought again of the two years he spent on the gunship in the air. The cannonballs exploded countless explosive points in the air, clearly telling him that this was a battlefield and not a shooting range!

After suppressing the sight line, the second armed pirate ship turned urgently as he expected and formed a state of sailing in the same direction as the target armed pirate ship. Under the action of inertia, it basically formed a line with the target armed pirate ship. Li Zhan slightly adjusted the angle of attack, then turned on the power of the third aerial fire launcher, and pressed the launch button based on his feeling.

Seven 90mm aircraft fire flew out in a "whoosh". The first three had the same trajectory, while the last four had a higher trajectory. In the first section, it seemed that the seven aircraft fires were still on the same trajectory, but in the second section, they were divided into two waves, shooting at two targets respectively.

"I hope it's an armor-piercing warhead!" Li Zhan muttered to himself.

Due to time constraints, the maintenance staff may not have time to tell him the distribution of warhead types, or the maintenance staff may have forgotten it in such an emergency. The regiment's maintenance personnel had actually never encountered such a combat situation before emergency takeoff. It was reasonable to not have good communication with unfamiliar pilots, but it also exposed some problems in the current combat system.

In the most ideal situation, after the aircraft has been loaded with ammunition, the maintenance staff will input all the information about the ammunition into the fighter's tactical terminal. Even if there is no communication with the pilot, the pilot can know exactly what ammunition he has in his hand just by looking at the tactical terminal. .

All aircraft fire hit the target accurately.

Li Zhan felt cold when he saw that there was no movement between the two targets after being hit. His men did not slow down and quickly accelerated to pull away. Artillery shells of various calibers chased him, so that he had to make an emergency roll to destroy the gunner. The amount of advance, the afterburner is used to quickly open the distance.

What he is most worried about is that the KN-59MT air-to-surface missile mounted on the inlet pylon will be hit. If it explodes, he will sleep in this sea together with No. 533 J-15.

Just when he was trying to avoid it, several closely connected and huge explosions suddenly came from behind him. He subconsciously shrank his neck and quickly turned his head to look down. What he saw was that the two armed pirate ships were divided into several groups. The block just hit the sea hard.

This is impossible!

How could aircraft fire break a seven- to eight-hundred-ton ship into several pieces and then send it flying!

"Test! The Great Wall boat and I hit the same target!" Li Zhan suddenly remembered something and couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Zhan became even more calm. Since the Great Wall boat had gone on a killing spree, the remaining dozen targets had basically no chance of returning alive. The armed pirate ship, which was thrown seven to eight meters high by the blast wave, frightened the other ships. They finally became confused, accelerated their speed, and fled in panic.

"Bomb truck, the firepower team has arrived in the launch airspace. Please indicate the target. We are about to launch the missile! Over!" The eight J-11Bs of the firepower team finally arrived on the battlefield. At this time, they were fifty kilometers away.

Li Zhan suppressed his desire to continue the attack, quickly prepared himself, and replied: "Fire team, please launch the attack according to the plan. I am ready to indicate the target! Over!"

"clear!"

The fire team launched eight KN-55MT air-to-surface missiles at a frequency of fifteen seconds between two missiles in each wave. Fifteen seconds was left for Li Zhan to guide.

The control of the instruction pod was linked to the color touch screen on the left. Li Zhan took off the white labor protection gloves on his left hand, held the joystick in his right hand, and quickly operated it with his left hand. First select two targets, use airborne radar for continuous tracking, and then transmit the target position parameters to the KN-59MT air-to-ground missile through the indicating pod. The airborne radar obtains the latest location information of the target in real time and instructs the pod to transmit the latest data to the KN-59MT air-to-ground missile. This process only takes two or three seconds.

After the KN-59MT enters the autonomous guidance stage, it no longer needs the guidance of the instruction pod. The seeker will lock on the target until it hits the target.

Li Zhan completed the guidance settings for the first wave of missiles within fifteen seconds and then continued to set the guidance data for the second wave of missiles. The J-15's airborne radar can lock six sea targets at the same time, otherwise the indicator pod alone can only guide one missile attack at the same time.

After widening the distance, Li Zhan circled and turned to look at the main fleet of the West Pacific pirates scattered on the sea. Immediately afterwards came the start of the fireworks show at sea. Seven of the eight KN-59MT missiles hit the target. The heavy warhead that can paralyze large surface ships basically smashes the target. It is smashed. There is no need for the warhead to explode!

Various explosions occurred, the debris flying in the sky swayed helplessly in the water, and the explosion of the ammunition depot was an important footnote to this fireworks show at sea.

When the sound of the explosion slowly disappeared and the smoke filled up, Li Zhan felt the pleasure of revenge. The revenge of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899 demands an interest today.

The eighth KN-59MT may have been lost because of a seeker malfunction. It happened to hit the wreckage of a pirate ship where pirates were struggling to put out the fire, and the whole world fell silent. Looking again, a dozen armed gunboats were speeding away from the scene. These evil-doing pirates finally got a taste of the iron fist.

Li Zhan calmed down and said, "Firepower team, I suggest that you chase the fleeing armed gunboats. The crimes committed by those armed gunboats are no less serious than those of other ships. You can also gain some valuable experience in sea attacks." .complete."

"Understood, thank you for the bomb truck, over!" the leader of the team said gratefully.

What the army lacks most now is this kind of actual combat mission, and combating pirates is the best way.

Li Zhan rechecked the remaining ammunition, and found that half of it was still there. Two KN-59MTs and three 7-tube 90mm aviation rocket launchers were still in good condition.

He thought for a while and asked the early warning aircraft, "Peeping maniac, there are several isolated unknown islands in the 020 direction. According to reliable information, there is a secret lair of West Pacific pirates. I request to go to attack the pirate lair. Over .”

The Peeping Tom first asked Li Zhan to wait, and quickly contacted the ground command for instructions on the action. After receiving approval, he called Li Zhan, "Bomb Truck, I agree with your extension in principle, but it must be confirmed that it is a pirate lair. I will let him Air cover unit covering you. Over."

"clear!"

When looking for the Great Wall boat, Li Zhan conducted a large-scale radar search of this sea area, but they did not find the main fleet of the West Pacific pirates. Within this range, there is a small island group composed of three adjacent unnamed islands. It is very likely that the main fleet of the West Pacific pirates came from there.

The location where the anti-submarine ship was encountered was only fifty kilometers away from the small island group, and the ship could reach it at full speed in more than an hour, so the result was obvious.

Now that we have taken action against this group of West Pacific pirates, it is very necessary to attack one of their lairs while we still have the remaining strength. Even if we can't completely annihilate this group of Western Pacific pirates, we can at least prevent them from going to sea to do evil in a short period of time.

When Li Zhan flew towards the small island group at full speed, he found a ship underneath that was sailing in the same direction at high speed. Judging from the wake, the ship was traveling at least thirty-five knots.

Who else besides the "Qian Tuanyu 101" ocean-going high-speed tuna fishing vessel?

"Mr. Li, what are you doing?" Li Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he called the satellite phone and asked.

Captain Li also spotted Li Zhan in the air and replied with a smile, "You guys have eaten all the meat, but my brothers are still holding back their fire, so I just went to the pirate lair to see if I could get some soup to drink." "

There must be a big boss on that fishing boat!

Li Zhan was convinced of this again and was ahead of him in everything. Judging from the distance, they had turned to the high speed and headed here after the last fairy tale ended. The boss on the fishing boat was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Are you sure it's a pirate lair?" Li Zhan asked.

Mr. Li said with great certainty, "You can be sure that I often run this route and am very familiar with the situation on the high seas. The location of the small island group is very awkward and it has always been an unowned island. Until a group of pirates many years ago The pirates who quietly occupied the place were the notorious West Pacific pirates.”

"I understand, it'll be easier as long as you make sure." Li Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

The three J-11Bs responsible for air cover accelerated past Li Zhan and flew towards the small island group in a dense formation. After a few minutes, they saw one large and two small green islands. The area was very small. The largest island The area is only the size of a standard sports field, and only a small half is flat land with several brick and stone houses on it.

The most important thing is that there is a dock. Judging from the dock facilities, it can berth 5,000-ton ships. Undoubtedly, this dock is the most important facility in this pirate lair.

The air cover team directly reported the target situation to Li Zhan, and then told Li Zhan: "Bomb truck, we and the fire team are returning, and you can only rely on yourself from now on. Over."

Li Zhan replied: "Understood, good luck! It's over."

At this time, the J-11B fleet has almost reached the maximum combat radius limit, and they do not have the ability to refuel in the air, so they must return.

Peeping Tom immediately completed the pursuit mission and the fire team issued a return order.

Eight J-11B heavy fighter jets caught up and used aircraft fire and cannons to give the pirate armed gunboats that were escaping at high speed a lesson. One pilot used an aircraft cannon to blow up one of the pirate armed gunboats, which became the most exciting moment in the pursuit. scene.

Although their total tonnage sunk is not as much as the two ships sunk by Li Zhan, the advantage lies in their large number. Everyone can fire a few shots, and actual combat experience is the most valuable. The pirate logistics supply ship with a displacement of 10,000 tons was sent to the bottom of the sea by the Great Wall boat with two 533 mm heavy-duty torpedoes. The Great Wall boat also became the combat unit with the largest displacement of sinking a single target. It made a fierce blow. Bad breath.

The drama came to an end quickly, and the one left to mop up the drama was the bitter Li Zhan. Who gave his fighter plane the ability to refuel in the air?

He just relaxed a little and peed again. If he often stays in the air for a long time in the future, he may need to spend more money to buy adult diapers.

"We are the only ones left in the gun group. The mopping up operation begins!"

PS: 31000/72000, this ends tonight, we will fight again tomorrow.
