Chapter 425: Demon High or Dao High
Yes, against the opponent in front of him, now he has to stay calm.
The battle that took place in the 27,000-meter night sky was like dancing on the tip of a knife; Long Yun's immediate response was to continue to accelerate, while making a slow turn with a huge radius, gradually cutting into the track that the "Blackbird" had just skimmed, and then catching up with the "Blackbird" at maximum speed to carry out his own nirvanal attack.
The reason why it must be killed with one hit, although the pilot on the SR-71 is still ignorant of the approaching threat, but using the past combat process of the Territorial Defense Force, it is speculated that once the "Blackbird" finds that it is under attack, it will immediately climb and accelerate its crazy escape at the same time, Long Yun knows that the maximum speed of the SR-71 equipped with two J58 turboramjet combined engines can be close to, or even reach the perverted Mach 3.5!
At such a high speed, even if you really try your best, your MiG machine can't catch up.
So be careful and don't make a mistake every step of the way!
Cautious control of the fighter to turn sideways, so far a qiē shun lì; Long Yun saw that the bright spot representing the "Blackbird" in the background of the night sky was gradually approaching and getting bigger, which was the illusion caused by the slow turn of his differential flat tail.
Now the actual situation is that the MiG-25PD he is piloting is slowly cutting into the almost ballistic straight course of the "Blackbird": observing the airspeed counter, Long Yun is a little excited, and at the same time very nervous to find that the speed of the landline has reached Mach 2.87, which has exceeded the safe flight speed limit of the MiG-25 fighter.
Soon is it?
But further acceleration is needed!
Before departure, the amount of fuel was accurately calculated, all unnecessary equipment was removed, and even the necessary radars and missiles for combat were not carried. The missile pylons under the wings were all removed; Now the MiG-25PD piloted by Long Yun has actually been compared with the YE-266 (which is actually the declared model of the MiG-25) that has set many flight records. This is just to hide people's eyes) The state is very similar. This gave him considerable confidence, and as he continued to steer and gradually pressed the throttle valve to the bottom, the Iron Warrior roared like a cannonball out of the chamber and slashed towards the intruder in the night!
The precise control of the landline came to the rear of the position of the "Blackbird", and after seeing the tail of the SR-71 with the same engine fully turned on, the tail flame dragged was particularly bright and dazzling, Long Yun confirmed that the speed of the landline had reached an astonishing Mach 3.1 before putting on the goggles, and he continued to accelerate boldly and began to prepare for the use of the aerial gun.
As the distance between friend and foe decreases. Vaguely feeling the familiar dark consciousness drifting ahead, Long Yun intuitively felt that it was the mysterious guy who drove the "Blackbird" tonight, and he actually ran to spread the wild again!
In the face of the arrogant invasion of US reconnaissance planes, is it "the magic high or the road high"?
The answer is not long in coming!
At this time, the land of the Soviet Union was at its quietest after midnight, and most of the inhabitants of the nearby time zone had already fallen asleep; And in the 27,000-kilometer dark night sky, the pursuers who are determined to win and the pursued who are ignorant are staging the fastest race in human history.
While preparing for the aiming and firing of the aircraft gun in the night state, feeling that the landline in the extreme state was already a little unstable, Long Yun quickly realized that the MiG-25PD had entered the so-called "uncontrolled" state - the speed of the two R-15BD engines greatly exceeded the standard. The cockpit began to smell a rather ordinary faint burnt smell; Turbojet engines, which are pumping huge amounts of gas, are further deteriorating in terms of compressor wheels. The sensor detected that the shaft temperature and the high-pressure turbine temperature had exceeded the warning line, and the entire engine could even burn out at any time!
After finally confirming the speed before entering the attack, Long Yun was surprised to find that he was setting a world record for the speed of the Zào interceptor: more than 3,400 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to an incredible Mach number of 3.32!
Long Yun, who was highly nervous, was firmly staring at the "Black Bird" that was already not far in front of him at this time, he had to accurately control the attitude of the fighter, and under the current high speed conditions, the ailerons and vertical tail were completely ineffective, and he could only use the differential flat tail to carefully control the steel MiG, which had gone completely crazy.
Speeding through the night sky, the speed of three times the speed of sound is not the most exciting, and then he has to use the improvised cannon to attack the enemy plane that is also flying at three times the speed of sound when flying at such a crazy high speed!
This way of fighting, to put it bluntly, is no different from gambling.
For ordinary pilots, the cannon is a weapon that is easier to use than air-to-air missiles, and the restrictions on the launch conditions of carrier aircraft are not as harsh as those of many missiles. However, under such extreme flight conditions, the way of propelling the projectile by relying on the explosive force of gunpowder will encounter quite a lot of problems: the previous Soviet fighter aircraft has never used an aerial gun at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, and there have not even been a few shots of a real nature, because theoretical analysis points out that this is extremely dangerous, and in the high-altitude rarefied air environment, the rapidly expanding gunpowder combustion gas will be sucked into the air intake, causing the engine to surge or even stop in the air.
The trouble of swallowing cigarettes is true, but the high speed makes the problem even more serious.
Under the condition of flying at three times the speed of sound, the problem of air shock waves caused by supersonic speed of fighters is already very acute, and at this speed it is actually impossible to use missile weapons at all: before the missile leaving the launcher has time to ignite, it will "hit" the cone-shaped shock wave wall caused by the carrier aircraft, and it is likely to bounce back directly and hit the carrier aircraft -- then it will be completely finished.
So as a last resort, Long Yun chose to install an aviation gun this time, but he didn't know if the two GSH-30 cannons installed in the lower part of the nose could send the shells out of the shock range?
Even if it can be sent, where will the projectile that has been baptized by the shock wave fly?
Originally, these problems had to be determined by one's own experiments, but the time was too short to take care of that much. The fighter plane was still sprinting at full speed, and at the same time, it was shaking more and more, Long Yun knew that there was not much time left for him to kill the enemy, and he had to take the risk and try it!
Without any ranging equipment such as radar, Long Yun could only use his intuition to estimate the distance between friend and foe, while praying that the artillery would not go wrong. When it was approaching about less than a thousand meters, with the familiar cold and dark feeling becoming more and more obvious, that is, the signal that it was very close to the enemy plane, Long Yun tried his best to trap the aiming aura that was almost not in advance, and then decisively pulled the trigger of the gun's launch.
With the slight explosion and tremor from the body, and the violent shaking that followed the fire of the shelling, the engine had a brief surge due to the inhalation of gunpowder smoke, and Long Yun almost thought that he was about to lose control of the fighter!
However, fortunately, this was expected when the battle plan was formulated, so the cannon was installed in the front of the belly, and at the same time, it was only slightly pulled when firing, and it was estimated that only about ten shells were fired; Because the number of launches and the number of projectiles were minimized, it was fortunate that there was no guide engine and it was parked directly in the air.
But even so, due to the drop in power caused by the smoke swallowing surge, Long Yun's MiG-25PD temporarily slowed down and just stopped the momentum of overtaking the "Blackbird", and he immediately reluctantly adjusted the attitude of the landline, and then fired again.
For an air target that is flying at its limit, even a single shell can often cause devastating consequences; Through the observation of the goggles, Long Yun had already roughly guessed the general direction of the artillery shells, and now it was up to him to see if he could have good luck. Another shot still didn't work, because it was very close to the "Blackbird" at this time, and the strong blinding tail flame made it impossible for Long Yun to observe the situation of the shells as they approached the enemy plane, even if he had already used tracer rounds.
Just when the second shot still didn't work, as if he found himself in danger, Long Yun suddenly sensed that the "Blackbird" was trying to change its track and began to accelerate, and also felt the fluctuations in the consciousness of the pilot in front of him.
Worst!
It's still discovered, and it must not be allowed to escape!
Although the fighter engine was on the verge of overheating and scrapping, and even a serious accident could occur at any time, Long Yun knew very well that once the "Blackbird" in front of him raised the speed, it would be impossible to catch up again.
Hold on for a few more seconds, just a few seconds!
Completely with a gambler's mentality, Long Yun worked hard to control the completely crazy MiG-25PD to continue the pursuit, gradually narrowing the distance between the two planes; Since it was too far away to miss, it was only possible to make up further. In this way, he completely frantically gave up his life to pursue, and when the distance between the two planes was no longer close, and it was shown that the "Blackbird" had also increased to Mach 3.3, Long Yun seized the last opportunity before being thrown away by his opponent, and he pulled the trigger again.
Just after this shot, Long Yun immediately reduced the throttle and began to perform a turning and disengagement maneuver with a gradual decrease in height.
There is no way, maintaining a flight above Mach 3 for more than two minutes in a row is already a great adventure in itself; Whether it was the condition of the aircraft or the amount of fuel, Long Yun was not allowed to hold on any longer. And not only that, but the intuition after the short shot also told Long Yun that this time there would likely be a hit; If this hunch is true, following the tail of the "Blackbird" that is about to get out of control is an extremely dangerous thing in itself.
Just a few seconds after leaving the course, he suddenly noticed a small eerie flash of fire on the outer edge of the bright spot representing the "blackbird" in the dark night sky ahead, and then the blazing fireworks began to distort and scatter, and it was obvious that the SR-71 had been hit by a cannonball, or at least damaged, and was now on fire and beginning to lose control.
The desperate tail chase shelling, this time it really hit! (To be continued......)
