Volume 7 Peninsula Gunsmoke Chapter 121 Ska Attack
The J15BB fighter was flying when the 15BA was lifted to the flight deck by the lift. 【】
The J15BB, which performed the escort mission, took off first, and then it was the turn of the J15BA, which performed the attack mission. The landline was towed behind the No. 1 catapult located on the port side of the aircraft carrier and at the front end of the landing area, Yue Tongsheng explained a few necessary matters to the service personnel, and made a boarding gesture to the 23 pilots who followed him, and took the lead in climbing onto the fighter.
After the last batch of 3 J15BBs was ejected, Yue Tongsheng and the 2nd squadron leader's plane were towed into the ejection point.
With the instrument normal, the oxygen supply equipment normal, the ejection seat normal, the power system normal, the communication equipment normal, the navigation system normal, the motivation normal, and the ammunition normal, Yue Tongsheng completed the inspection work step by step and gave a thumbs up to the ground guide standing on the right side of the fighter.
3 The ground crew is responsible for checking the external equipment of the fighter, and everything is normal.
The deflector behind the ejection point slowly rises, and the take-off director raises his right hand and stretches out 5 fingers. Yue Tongsheng took a deep breath, and after confirming that the brake was closed, he turned on the power supply of the motor and pushed the accelerator to the minimum gear. Driven by an electric motor, the turbine motor starts smoothly. The fighter shook slightly, and then spewed out a scorching air current. The working status of the motivation was displayed on the screen on the left, and seeing the guide stretching out his fingers, Yue Tongsheng slowly increased the accelerator. Although the electromagnetic catapult can accelerate the 28:heavy fighter from a standstill to a knot, the fighter must let the engine reach the maximum thrust when the fighter catapults and takes off, so as to ensure that the fighter can leave the "danger zone" in front of the aircraft carrier as soon as possible after the ejection is launched, leaving room for the fighter plane that rises behind.
The turbofan engine let out a deafening roar.
In just 1C minutes, all the preparations are ready.
As the take-off guide swung his arm forward, Yue Tongsheng released the brakes, and the J15BA fighter glided 11C meters on the deck alone, with a speed of more than 160 knots, under the pull of the electromagnetic catapult. The moment it left the flight deck, the fighter plane fell down about 2 meters, and then jumped into the sky at an elevation angle of about 1 under the impetus generated by the wings.
3 catapults work at the same time, catapulting fighters at a ground speed of 6 per minute.
Unless there is a sudden sneak attack by the enemy, it is necessary to take off an air defense fighter immediately. Otherwise, the aircraft carrier will not eject fighters with maximum efficiency. In order to maximize the working life of the catapult. Save maintenance costs for the Navy.
Yue Tongsheng's landline has not yet risen to a cruising altitude of 2,500 meters. The 3rd Group of 24 fighters and the 2nd Group of 12 fighters all left the aircraft carrier.
"The sea fortress calls the skuas. Sea Fortress Call ......"
"Skua received!" Yue Tongsheng frowned. He has always disliked the code name "Skua Gull". Because skuas are not birds of prey. It is only a small seafowl that is good at stealing eggs and chicks.
"Heading 25. Height 5500. Prepare to follow the command of the Flying Fortress. ”
"Understood. Obey the command of the Flying Fortress. Yue Tongsheng said. While looking around.
The other fighters were accelerating their climb to follow the long plane in a diamond-shaped squad.
Unlike the J15B, where Zhu Ronghui was piloted, the J-15BA uses more automatic control equipment and is not equipped with a navigator. Although the carrier-based aviation has repeatedly responded to this problem, believing that fighters carrying out attack missions, at least some fighters, should be equipped with navigators, the HNA believes that there is no need to add a second pilot to the fighters, and one pilot is enough to complete all operations.
"Skua calls the Flying Fortress ......"
"The Flying Fortress received, the battlefield information is being transmitted, and the course is turned to 20."
Yue Tongsheng glanced at the main screen in the center, and after seeing the displayed information, he said: "I have received the battlefield information and navigation instructions, the heading is 20, the altitude is 55C0, and the flight altitude will be reduced after 15 minutes." ”
"Exactly, have a nice trip."
Exercise! Yue Tongsheng cursed in his heart, because carrier-based aircraft pilots hate the word "smooth journey" the most. "Attention squadrons, follow the long plane."
Under the leadership of Yue Tongshengdi, the aircraft group adjusted its course and headed towards the South Korean fleet.
Compared with the Air Force and the shore-based aviation units of the Navy, the tactics of carrier-based aviation are more concise because the command and control capabilities of carrier-based early warning aircraft are much worse than those of large early warning aircraft. Most of the time, the AWACS aircraft sends combat instructions and battlefield information to the fighter through the tactical data link, and does not need the pilot to give orders by voice. The navigation system of carrier-based fighters is also more advanced, and as long as the combat mission and the target orientation are clear, even if there is no early warning aircraft to provide it, it can accurately fly to the target and attack.
After entering the scheduled route, Yue Tongsheng activated the autopilot system.
The autopilot system can rely on the route data provided by the AWACS aircraft to control the course, speed and altitude of the fighter aircraft on behalf of the pilot, without the need for pilot intervention. Using the "Beidou" 3rd generation navigation satellite to provide ground navigation information, the navigation accuracy of the automatic driving system has reached 1/10,000, that is, the deviation of 1 kilometer is only 1C meters. Even if the satellite navigation signal cannot be received, the navigation accuracy can reach one thousandth by relying entirely on the inertial navigation system and using the high-precision laser gyroscope, which is enough to meet the tactical requirements.
During the flight to the target, the group will maintain radio silence for the entire time.
As a "pilot" who participated in the East China Sea War and the South China Sea War, Yue Tongsheng was much more careful than those "rising stars". Yue Tongsheng will check the status of the fighter and confirm that the navigation information received is not wrong and that the navigation system is not malfunctioning. Of course, he also checks the autopilot system.
After inspecting the various systems for the third time, Yue Tongsheng glanced at the anti-ship missiles mounted under the wings on both sides of the fighter.
The internal bomb bay of the J15BA is not large, and it can only carry guided bombs and short-range ground-to-surface missiles, and cannot be equipped with heavy anti-ship missiles with large volumes. Although this is the biggest flaw of the J115BA, no pilots complained, because no tactical fighter was able to stuff a 6-meter-long and 1,250-kilogram ground-based anti-ship missile into the "belly". The maximum range of heavy anti-ship missiles is 1,000 kilometers, and even if the range is halved when setting a complex attack route, fighters can launch missiles outside the interception range of the warship's air defense system without flying too close.
The red indicator light above the left screen flashed, Yue Tongsheng frowned slightly, and turned on the formation communication channel.
After a while, the main screen appeared with tactical information needed to attack the target.
Yue Tongsheng said while inputting tactical information into the fire control system and letting the fire control system provide the necessary guidance information for the missiles: "All squadrons pay attention, distribute tactical information, and prepare for attack. ”
When the Xindi navigation information appeared, Yue Tongsheng switched the fighter to manual control and pressed down the joystick.
Although he could not see the South Korean fleet hundreds of kilometers away, Yue Tongsheng knew that they were about to enter the detection range of the South Korean destroyer's air defense radar, and the attack was about to begin.
Ultra-low-altitude flying is not an easy task for all pilots.
Although flying over the ocean does not need to worry about hitting the undulating mountains, the ocean background can easily make pilots have the illusion, especially on clear nights, the starlight and moonlight reflected on the sea surface have a strong confusing and paralyzing effect, and the slightest carelessness will make the pilot feel that the world is turned upside down, so as to make the wrong operation.
As the leader of the aircraft, Yue Tongsheng also had to bear the attack tasks of all the fighters.
On the left screen, there are 9 fighter icons, representing the 9 squads on the attack mission. When a squad is ready to attack, the icon will turn green.
After all 9 icons turned green, Yue Tong let out a sigh and said, "Attention squadrons, follow the long plane into the attack route and prepare to launch anti-ship missiles!" ”
The long plane was the first to climb high, and the three J-15BAs of the same team immediately followed.
At an altitude of about 1,500 meters, Yue Tongsheng pressed the missile launch switch, and the heavy anti-ship missiles hanging under the wings detached from the pylons in a symmetrical manner, and reached a maximum flight speed of 2 Hz after diving about 1C00. The missile will fly at this speed until it enters the final stage of the attack and throws off the ramjet.
"The 1st Squadron followed the long plane, and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Squadrons advanced at low altitudes."
The 8J15BA continued to climb, while the other 28J16BA quickly dived back above the surface.
The attack is not over, and Yue Tongsheng and the others still have a very important task to complete.
The radar alarm machine sounded, and Yue Tongsheng quickly glanced at the information that appeared on the main screen. X-band electromagnetic waves, the phased array radar on the South Korean destroyer showed a high-speed approach J15BA fighter. Without any hesitation, Yue Tongsheng pushed the throttle to the maximum gear and started the afterburner.
"Activate the active electromagnetic interference device and enter the countdown to the attack." After speaking, Yue Tongsheng pressed the countdown button.
If all goes well, the radar operator on the South Korean destroyer will definitely be stunned, because the 8 targets that were still on the screen at the beginning are gone. Regardless of whether the South Korean destroyer fired an anti-aircraft missile or not, it could not deal with the J15BA fighter that was approaching at high speed at this time. At this time, Yue Tongsheng and the other eight pilots had to do a good job, which was to input the radar wave signal they had just received into the anti-radiation missile's ground guidance system, so that the anti-radiation missile could "remember" the target's working frequency.
On the screen, 2 large numbers are jumping.
After everything was zeroed, Yue Tongsheng turned off the active electromagnetic interference device, turned on the power supply of the missile, and activated the anti-radiation missile in the bomb bay.
The 8J-15BA fighters opened the hatches of the bomb bay almost simultaneously and dropped 2 anti-radiation missiles each.
At this time, the radar warning aircraft sounded again, and it was very sharp, indicating that the South Korean warship's ground fire control radar had begun to work, and was directing the approaching J15BA fighter with anti-aircraft missile attack.
"Activate the tactical data exchange system, evade missiles!"
The 8J-15BA turned to dive at a speed close to 2 Hz, while using a tactical data exchange system to send the information of the electromagnetic waves that had just been intercepted to the 28 fighters approaching the South Korean fleet at low altitude.
Although the maximum range of long-range anti-aircraft missiles equipped with South Korean destroyers exceeds 200 kilometers, the maximum range against low-altitude targets will not exceed 120 kilometers, or even more than 1,000 kilometers.
The 8J15BA managed to avoid the anti-aircraft missiles without danger, and the other 28J-15BA smoothly entered the attack channel.
What awaits the South Korean fleet will be the final verdict of fate!
