Volume 7 Peninsula Gunsmoke Chapter 70 Ace Debut
The service ended early. There is a good side to [Reading.com]. There is also a bad side.
According to the battle plan drawn up by the General Staff. The second campaign 25 night began. The Air Force first seized air supremacy to ensure it
The security of the corridor. Subsequently, 2 airborne brigades were dispatched. The troops of the face entered the court at 25 o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at the Kaichuan Tokugawa with the final judgment before 260 o'clock. 6:30 a.m. on the 2nd at the latest
Push south.
When the 771st Brigade invaded Hamhung. Pei Chengyi is making the most preparations for issuing the battle order.
It's obvious. The second campaign had to start early.
The 2nd Marine Division was encircled and annihilated, and the 101st Air Assault suffered heavy losses in the battle of Xianzhou. The anti-aircraft battalion of the 771 Brigade was knocked out to
After the helicopters of the 101st Air Assault Division. The more than 100 U.S. troops who remained in Wonsan would certainly retreat south. The 7th Division, which accompanied the ROK army's northward assault on the battlefield, had stopped at 16.30 on the 25th. The 1st Division, which supported the South Korean army in its assault on Pyongyang, also stopped after 16,30 minutes.
The battle couldn't be more obvious. The army is ready to "slip".
Although in the first battle, the goal of the great annihilation of the living forces of the American army has been reached. But the meaning of the General Staff is clear. The gains must be expanded. Completely crush the will of the United States to war.
At the pace of the US military. A few hours late meant that thousands of American GIs could slip out of the "fishing net".
The question is. None of the participating units were prepared. The consequences of starting early are difficult to predict.
17 o'clock sharp. Xiang Hui personally gave Pei Chengyi the order to start the battle.
Pei Chengyi did not hesitate. The adjusted battle plan was immediately issued to all units participating in the battle.
The reorganization was completed and the pilots were replenished with the 11th wing of fighters at 17:10
Receive combat orders.
17:15. Jia Baoguo took the lead in piloting the J14A fighter in the air.
Within 15 minutes. Dozens of pilots, including Lin Jue and Mei Lechi, took off after the J14A fighter jet.
Because the 11th Wing suffered heavy losses in the battle for air supremacy in the early part of the first campaign. More than a third of pilots were killed or wounded. These include 1 captain, 5 squadron leaders and 11 squad leaders. Lack of experience for novices to supplement. Therefore, Jia Baoguo and Lin Jue left the command work to the staff officers in charge of logistics and communications, put on flight suits, and "re-cherished the old business".
This situation is not uncommon in the Air Force. The captains of the five fighter wings that participated in the battle all went to the front.
Among the pilots of the 11th Wing. Melache was not lucky. Rather, it was very lucky.
In 5, he carried out 17 combat missions and participated in 28 air battles. Not only was it not shot down. At least 16 US fighter planes were also killed, and seven of them had common results and four failed to admit them. On the morning of the 25th. After killing 2 enemy planes in the 28th air battle, the number of red stars on the Melechi fighter increased to 21. Colonel Yoho, who surpassed the 211th Brigade, had a total of 0 results. Become the number one ace in air combat.
Lucky for lucky. Without great strength, it will certainly not be favored by the god of luck
Not to mention anything else, 85 percent of the downed pilots were "rookies" who had not participated in previous wars, and the probability of being shot down was calculated. "Birds" are less than 10%, and rookies are "up to 3%. The two data illustrate the problem, and actual combat experience is more valuable than any training.
Exactly. When Mei Lechi was about to "harvest" 22 results, another group of "flying dragons" killed the battlefield.
Not someone else. It was the 001 tactical fighter group under naval aviation, led by Guoxiang.
Because the air battle precedes the face battle. So when the first battle began. HNA applied to send troops to participate in the battle for air supremacy on the peninsula. In accordance with the plans of the General Staff. HNA was tasked with assisting the parent battle group in "resisting" the U.S. and Japanese fleets. Always ready to strike at the American and Japanese fleets. Although the 3 aircraft carrier battle groups of the US military left the waters of the Yellow Sea one after another. But Japan's 2 aircraft carrier battle group has been operating in the western Pacific Ocean east of the Okinawa Islands. Whenever possible, it will enter the waters of the East China Sea. During the First Campaign. Pei Chengyi did not ask for HNA to participate. The Air Force did not even ask for help from the HNA Force. The General Staff suppressed the matter of the HNA participating in the war.
The second campaign began ahead of schedule. Support must be provided to the Air Force.
Five minutes after receiving the news at 17:0, Liang Guoxiang led 24 heavily armed J14B fighters of the 001 Brigade to take off.
Compared with other officers and soldiers of the HNA . Liang Guoxiang was even more anxious to participate in the war.
The reason is the same: Liang Guoxiang on the 21st is still the undisputed number one air combat ace in the air force and navy of the Republic. Just a few days. Liang Guoxiang not only lost the crown. It fell to 0 places!
What made Liang Guoxiang even more unhappy was that. Mei Lechi, who ranked first, was still a "rookie" under him a few years ago!
Soldier. It is a group of people who regard honor as more important than life!
3 ago. Liang Guoxiang chose to stay at the grassroots level. There is no intention to give up the position of "number one ace" to anyone else.
For several days in a row. Liang Guo made a phone call to the commander of the HNA in 4 hours. Ask about HNA participation in the war. Get it to the end. The Commander simply called him on time. Relay the reply of the General Staff.
Waiting period. Liang Guoxiang did not waste precious time in vain.
In addition to performing normal patrol duties. Liang Guoxiang spent a lot of time cheering up the pilots in the brigade. Let the crew use all their abilities to keep the fighter in the best condition.
2 a.m. The commander of the HNA called. Let Liang Guoxiang prepare for a long-distance attack.
At that time, total
The ministry has not yet decided to send a flight to the war. But the situation is all too obvious. HNA Movement. It was difficult for the Air Force to complete the "preparations" for the second campaign alone. Naval combat units will certainly be transferred to the northeastern zone of air-based. It's just that the transition will waste precious time to expose the operational intent and the size of the force. Troops participating in the battle with the Navy will participate in the battle in the form of long-distance raids. After completing the combat mission, go to the Air Force Base. The judgment is very accurate. After Xiang Hui decided to let HNA participate in the war. The order is a long-distance rush mission.
Not the right blow. and to assist the Air Force in seizing air supremacy in the area north of the 38th parallel on the Korean Peninsula.
Liang Guoxiang's appetite
Before take-off. The crew of the 001 Brigade did only one thing: a J14B with a 42100 oversized auxiliary fuel tank hanging under the wing.
General. J14B is executing "
Optimal service does not use external hangers.
Use pylons. In addition to reducing the stealth performance of J14B. It also produces greater air resistance and reduces cruising flight.
With 4 super-large drop fuel tanks attached, the J14B will not exceed 095 Hz.
interactively. At that time it was absolutely necessary to hang auxiliary tanks for the J14B.
Zhoushan is 1,100 kilometers away from the third line of the Korean Peninsula. The return flight to the air-based area of the northeast is not 5 meters. The Cruising Range of the J14 without an external fuel tank is more than 1,000 kilometers, and the maximum combat radius when performing long-range interception missions is more than 150 kilometers, so there is no need to carry additional fuel.
Liang Guoxiang did so. There are only 2 meshes: to reach the battlefield as fast as possible. Get more fighting opportunities.
After reaching the cruising altitude. Liang Guoxiang took the lead in opening the afterburner.
With 2 motors reaching maximum thrust, the J14B fleet quickly broke through the sound barrier. Fly to the Korean Peninsula at 15 times the speed of sound.
It's faster. The fuel consumption is also very staggering.
In the case of the use of afterburner. The fuel consumption of the J14B is 4 when cruising
|。 4 super-large drop fuel tanks in 80 aviation kerosene will be 30
The bell burns out.
For Liang Guoxiang, he can only seize the battle, and he will even pay for 84 aviation kerosene himself.
Compared with the results of the timely participation in the war, the purchase price of the 24J14B fighter with an additional 01600 aviation kerosene and HNA is about 91 yuan per liter. A total of less than 184 yuan is nothing.
The J14B fleet threw external pylons and fuel tanks over the Yellow Sea.
In order to avoid damage to the stealth appearance of the fighter, the J14 column, including the J15 column, the fighter adopts an electrically integrated external pylons ejection device, instead of the traditional explosive bolt ejection device, mainly when the explosive bolt detonates, it will produce fragments. Break the skin of the wings and fuselage. During the battle, the fighter throws the external pylons along with the external load. It's not like in the past, only the load is thrown away, and the hanger is not thrown away.
After throwing off the pylon. Only a few recessed joints were exposed under the J14B wing.
As long as it is not irradiated by radar waves. This, minor issues will not have much of an impact on the stealth performance of the J14B.
Liang Guoxiang did not continue to accelerate and run wildly. The afterburner of the motive was turned off. Fly towards the battlefield at a cruising speed of 135 Hz.
At 18:15, the 24J14B fighter was the same, and the active electromagnetic interference device was activated.
At this time. The fleet is located less than 100 metres from the Grand Black Mountain Islands southwest of the peninsula. It is 40 kilometers away from the E11A warning that is hovering over Daejeon. Although the maximum present distance of the E11A to the J14 column fighters will not exceed 30 meters. But Liang Guoxiang did not despise the enemy. Active electromagnetic interference devices were activated in advance.
"Brother Liang. Combat Order. ”
"Damn. It's finally our turn. Guoxiang muttered. Asked. "What task?"
"Sneak attack" Eagle's Nest ". Liang Guoxiang was stunned. Then it turned white. "1 hour follows the long plane. Prepare to attack the US AWACS aircraft. The other squads continued to follow the scheduled route 1 to the battlefield. ”
"Brother Liang. Do it ourselves? ”
"When it doesn't matter whether fat or thin. It's meat to the mouth! ”
Hearing Liang Guoxiang's words, Bo Qing laughed. No doubt. Liang Guoxiang was panicked by "hunger".
"Eagle's Nest" is the nickname of the South Korean and American AWACS aircraft. Pretty much the same as the "Dragon's Lair" of the Air Force of the Republic. In the past. Liang Guoxiang will definitely not personally attack targets that have no ability to resist such as early warning aircraft. Meritorious tasks are often left to other pilots who urgently need to perform. In Liang Guoxiang's eyes, no matter how valuable the AWACS aircraft is. Killing 10 AWACS aircraft is not enough to shoot down 1 F2A.
The 3J14B accelerates. Another 1 J1B of the 14 squadron followed the pace of the 2 squadron.
"Brother Liang. What are you going to do? ”
"In the simplest way." Liang Guoxiang has already thought of tactics. "Rerouted. Ultra-low-altitude entry. Set off a Christmas firework. Celebrate the holiday for American GIs. ”
"It's Christmas today? That's right. I still forgot. ”
Liang Guoxiang smiled coldly. The lever was depressed.
3J14 roared to the surface. With a cruising speed of 115 Hz at low altitude, it flew close to the sea and headed for the Korean Peninsula at a much slower speed at high altitude.
