Volume 7 Peninsula Gunsmoke Chapter 117 Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger
At 19 o'clock on the 6th, the aircraft carrier "Huaxia", the aviation operations center. 【】
"Targets are divided into three categories, from high to low, and are represented by three colors: red, yellow, and green." Yang Jinjie knocked on the big screen showing the tactical map, "The red targets are the air defense command center, communication center, long-range warning radar, air defense position and power distribution center on the whole island. The bombing mission was undertaken by the 2nd Squadron, with the fighters carrying built-in ammunition, and the 11th Squadron and the 1st Squadron carried out the first round of bombing, and if it was confirmed that the target was not destroyed, the 1st Squadron carried out supplementary bombing. ”
Yang Jinjie paused for a moment, and the staff officer adjusted the icons on the screen.
"The yellow targets are concentrated at Jeju Airport, mainly the airport aviation control center, the outer defensive positions, the three roads leading to the airport, and the nearby military camps." Yang Jinjie looked in the direction where the pilots of the three major groups were sitting, "The bombing mission is in charge of the three major groups, and after destroying the enemy's air defense system and command system, the fighters take off with the maximum bomb load, mainly using out-of-zone ammunition to avoid the strike range of the ground air defense system." The first round of attacks was carried out by Squadrons 1C2311 and 1C232, with Squadron 0233 conducting supplementary bombardment. ”
The staff officer adjusts the icons on the screen again.
"The blue targets are military facilities such as the South Korean army's shore defense positions near Hanlin." Yang Jinjie took a sip of water, and then said, "This is the basic tactical target, and the strike mission is in charge of a large team. In addition, a large group also has to undertake escort missions, so the fighters carry only one bomb, at least four interceptor missiles and two combat missiles. After the bombing began, the squadrons had to report the situation in real time. If you are in trouble, you can always call for support. When returning, if you need to refuel in the air, report the situation at least 15 minutes in advance. Finally, and most crucially. If you are unfortunately shot down by an enemy anti-aircraft missile or an enemy fighter jet, and then you are very lucky enough to parachute out and fall into the enemy war zone, please bring a call radio and self-defense weapons, and the special forces will come to the rescue as soon as possible! ”
"One more point." Zhu Ronghui walked up to Yang Jinjie and said, "If you are unfortunately captured by the enemy, don't make unnecessary resistance, make your identity, declare your position, ask for reasonable treatment, and then wait for the war to end, understand?" ”
The pilots all laughed, and the wing commander didn't joke with them.
"Finally, if you have a problem, you should raise it quickly."
"Will there be an air threat?" One of the squadron leaders of a large group asked the first question, because the first group was a ground air defense group equipped with J-15BB fighters.
"The reality is very bad. I am afraid that it will disappoint the pilots who want to achieve the results of air combat. Zhu Ronghui smiled. Said. "The US Air Force has withdrawn from the war. Japan did not enter the war. The ROK Air Force has been defeated by our ground air force and the shore-based air force of the Navy Air Force. In the first round of battles. The chance of encountering an air threat will not exceed 10%. Of course. We can't underestimate the 'ambition' of the sticks. Maybe there will be a few pilots who are not afraid to die and fly the FA-50 fighter into the air. Our principles are: It's not that we don't think about it. I don't let go of the place I encountered. Do you understand? ”
A large group of pilots laughed.
The FA-50 is a combat attack aircraft developed on the basis of the T-50 "Golden Eagle" trainer aircraft. Say it's a fighter. The performance is very bad. It is not even comparable to the J-1 fighters that have been eliminated by the air force and naval aviation of the Republic, resold in large quantities to friendly countries, or given away free of charge to friendly countries. Because the South Korean Air Force lost a large number of pilots in the Dokdo War. In recent years, there has been a lot of training for pilots. So a lot of the FA-50 was retained as a mid-to-high-level training aircraft.
"Who is responsible for in-flight refueling?"
"Air Force and Navy." Yang Jinjie answered a question raised by a squadron leader of the three major teams. "The rendezvous with the tanker is in the airspace of C507. Because the combat radius will not exceed 500 meters. So there aren't many opportunities for aerial refueling. If necessary. We'll make arrangements. ”
"If there is no need for supplementary bombing. Do I need to return home with bombs? ”
"There's no need for that." Zhu Ronghui glanced at his partner and said, "I want to add that this is a real combat mission, not a drill." You all have combat missions in your hands, and for the two squadrons tasked with supplementary attacks, if a supplementary attack is not necessary, bombs should be dropped on secondary targets, rather than returning to the carrier with them. ”
"Any questions?" Yang Jinjie glanced at everyone.
The pilots all shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem.
"The combat mission is very compact, and after we have completed the bombing mission, the fleet will attack important targets on the island with cruise missiles; After daybreak, the warships of the fleet will also carry out artillery shelling on targets on the island. If nothing else, there are more important tasks waiting for us tomorrow, so I hope that everyone will complete the mission smoothly, return to the carrier as soon as possible, get a good night's sleep for a few hours, and prepare for tomorrow's battle. Zhu Ronghui glanced at his watch and said, "Since everyone is fine, this is the end of the combat meeting." Fifteen minutes later, a large group took off first and went to the predetermined airspace to carry out air patrol duties. If you need to prepare for takeoff, hurry up! ”
The pilot dispersed, and Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie both shook their heads with a smile
After following Hua Jianfeng to serve in the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group, Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie ended their pilot careers and fully managed the 1st Air Wing.
Like the other 3 carrier-based aviation wings, the 1C2 team is all "rookies" except for the backbone.
The emergence of problems with carrier-based aviation has exposed the internal contradictions of the HNA Navy.
Although most shore-based aviation pilots hope to become carrier-based aircraft pilots, shore-based aviation units do not want to lose elite pilots, so they are willing to let them go. For example, the "super ace combination" of Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing was "forcibly" left in the shore-based air force and never had the opportunity to board the ship. In 2023, HNA put forward a "reform plan" and decided to implement a "rotation system" so that all pilots can master the skills of taking off and landing on aircraft carriers, and unify the establishment of shore-based tactical aviation and carrier-based tactical aviation to eliminate internal contradictions. Because the workload is too great and the training is too difficult, the reform will last for several years and cannot be achieved overnight.
At 20:C5, the fleet command received an operational order codenamed "Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger".
Immediately, a large group of 24J-15BB fighters ejected and took off one after another.
The 24J-15BBB carries SD-16 interceptor missiles, 2 PL-17 bucket missiles, and 1 kilogram-level "stand-off glide guided bomb" in the fuselage bomb bay, and a large auxiliary fuel tank under the wing. According to the operational arrangement, the first group will first carry out air defense patrol missions, reach the skies over the Jeju Strait before the second group carries out bombing, block the route of South Korean fighters to the western part of Jeju Island, and then carry out bombing missions, provide cover for other fighters when returning, and finally land on the flight deck. As a result, a large group of 24 fighters stayed in the air for the longest time, and could only carry auxiliary fuel tanks without refueling in the air.
When the 2nd Brigade of ground fighters was preparing for takeoff, the 2HJ-2000B carrier-based AWACS aircraft left the flight deck and went to replace the 2 AWACS aircraft, which had been patrolling for 5 hours.
The HJ-2C00B model is exactly the same as the basic type, but the internal configuration is different. After replacing the 8-stage composite battery with a 12-stage composite battery, the endurance of Type B has been increased by nearly 30%; Equipped with 2 more powerful electric motors, the maximum ceiling is increased by 18% and the maximum flight speed is increased by 21%%; Adjusting the internal layout, adopting more advanced information equipment, increasing the number of air guides to people, plus a faster central processing unit and command equipment with a higher degree of automation, it is possible to guide 24 fighters to perform air combat at the same time, which is 1 times stronger than the basic type; The use of low-sidelobe active phased array radar enhances the detection capability in complex environments, increases the detection range of low-altitude targets by 30%, and increases the detection rate by 1 times. With the addition of a tactical data link, it has the ability to provide target guidance for long-range anti-ship missiles and link with the fleet's air defense system.
These improvements have led to a significant increase in the combat effectiveness of the HJ-2000B.
If it were not for the very severe restrictions on arms exports imposed by the Republic, I am afraid that the HJ-2000B would have become the most sought-after small AWACS aircraft in the international arms market.
At this time, the other 2 aircraft carriers in the fleet also turned to sail against the wind and began to catapult fighters.
At 20 o'clock, the J-15BA fighters of the second brigade began to take off.
The departure time of the second brigade was about a minute later than that of the first brigade, which was not a matter of choice.
When the fighter plane is released, all the fighters must be concentrated on the flight deck and arranged behind the catapult in order of take-off, so as to maximize the take-off efficiency. Because the flight deck of the aircraft carrier was not open, the second batch of fighters taking off could only complete their preparations in the hangar. If nothing else, it is very troublesome to arrange the 24 fighters in order, and it will take a lot of time.
Unlike the J-15BB of the first brigade, the J-15BA of the second brigade carried weapons only in the bomb bay.
As the main attack force of the 1st Group, the 2nd Brigade had the strongest ground strike capability and undertook the most important and dangerous bombing missions. Only after the 2nd Brigade destroyed the air defense system on Jeju Island could the subsequent bombing operation be carried out smoothly.
At 211:15, the fighters of the three major teams took off one after another.
From this time on, Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie were a little nervous.
Although all the intelligence proves that Jeju Island's air defense system is very weak and the South Korean Air Force has been completely defeated, the two ace pilots of the HNA are still worried that the "rookies" who have not been on the battlefield will mess up the mission. Team 02 undertook the first round of bombing missions, which was not only a trust in Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie, but also a test for the two.
At 211 o'clock, a set of battle reports translated as "Tiger Descending Mountain" was sent back to the fleet headquarters.
The first round of bombing operations was successful, and the most elite strike units of the Republic's naval aviation successfully completed their combat missions.
Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The bombing campaign continued, and the fleet was lively. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to qidi, more chapters, author,! )
