Chapter 272: Countering the Sneak Attack
In the sky with white clouds drifting, over-the-horizon contact between the two sides soon arrived.
Just when cruising at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters at a speed of about Mach 0.8, Long Yun and Liu Wei heard the sound of the radar alarm in the cockpit almost at the same time, and he immediately glanced at the direction indicator of the alarm, but saw that the indicator light flashed a few times and there was no movement.
"Liu Wei, did you hear that?"
After all, the game is not a battle, and it is generally okay to call them by their first names when communicating in the air.
"I heard," Liu Wei apparently noticed the situation as well, "it seems to be in the direction of eight o'clock, but now it has disappeared again." β
What's going on, is it a short radar scan?
Long Yun did not find the location of the incoming enemy plane from the alarm, he looked around, and then roughly guessed the tactics to be adopted by the "Saturn" twin planes.
In the brief radar contact just now, although the warning was slow and did not provide much target information, it is very likely that the enemy planes had roughly grasped their position and stored it in the target guidance system of the MiGs, and then they directly turned off the radar's transmitting antenna.
ββWhat will the opponent do next?
Based on Long Yun's understanding of the MiG-29, he quite boldly guessed that after discovering their whereabouts, the "Saturn" twin planes would immediately speed up, cover up at high speed in the direction of the target just determined, and try their luck with a wave of R-27T salvos on the way.
The R-27T, an infrared-guided medium-range missile, generally does not require a carrier aircraft to provide continuous radar irradiation, and it is best for sneak attacks; Although he does not know the situation of the missiles carried by the opponent, this tactic Long Yun is very familiar with.
- If you think about it, they're probably behind you right now!
Thinking of this, Long Yun immediately made a decision; He immediately ordered Liu Wei to follow him to speed up, and at the same time, the two planes parted ways, one left and one right, and climbed further slowly in the process of accumulating speed, in order to avoid the opponent's plunder, and even managed to get behind the tail of the MiG.
Such a tactical action with obvious intentions, if it is within the observation range of the enemy's radar, will certainly not be able to escape the radar's scanning; But now Long Yun is betting that the "Saturn" dual chances will always turn off the radar and rush straight up to the dogfight, and he has not used such tactics when he flew the MiG-29 in the parallel world before.
Sneak attack and anti-sneak attack, it depends on whose guess is more accurate!
With full afterburner, the light J-7IIM continued to climb at a small angle of attack under the Longyun control, turning an arc with a large radius in the sky; Looking back from afar, Liu Wei's fighter plane also did the same, and now it has become a blurry gray shadow in the sky dragging white smoke.
Continuing to climb and accelerate, Long Yun only broke through the speed of sound after piloting the fighter plane one hundred and eighty degrees, and the white sonic boom cloud flickered away, and the short and rough sound resounded in his ears; The J-7 with a single WP-7C engine is not abundant, and now his control is quite soft, and the silver-white sharp fighter plane draws a smooth course in the sky, and swoops down towards the "Saturn" twin planes that are already looming in the distance.
Finding a target at a visual distance can be said to be half the battle.
Under Long Yun's eye-catching gaze, the unaware "Saturn" twin planes were still speeding up at this time, and in front of them were four R-27T, which were pioneers and had bright tail flames!
The battle combination, known as the "Twenty-Nine Princes", was quite skillful in the silent assault of the previous move.
As long as you start searching after liftoff, use N019 to find the target, and then immediately shut down and sprint at full speed; Using the R-27T to carry out a sneak attack on the way can make your opponent scramble even if you don't knock them down.
In this case, relying on the powerful power characteristics of the MiG-29 to rush into close-quarters combat, it is often easy to win in a few rounds.
Even now, knowing that their opponent "Chenlong" only has two old J-7s, they have not slackened in the slightest: this fledgling "Chenlong" team did not know that there was such a team before, and in the first game, they actually used the seventh master to clean up the J-10A twin aircraft of the "Tianhe", which is a bit incredible.
But even so, I'm afraid there is an element of luck!
With their cunning tactics, even if the opponent can dodge the surprise attack of the R-27T, the combination of "Two Nine Princes" is not at all worried about the close-range combat behind.
Thinking so easily, the "Saturn" long plane casually glanced at the airspace in front of him; But to his surprise, they didn't find anything all the way to the cover-up.
Looking around, there was nothing in the empty sky around you except a pale blue sky background and drifting white clouds!
No, they are so alert, could it be that they ran away early when they knew the news in advance?
- Wouldn't that be a waste of four R-27s!
Aviation competition is not a small amount of money, even if it can be recycled and reused, the thrusters of the four missiles will cost two or three hundred thousand. Knowing that they were so cowardly, it was better to rush directly to fight, where did they run now?
Looking around in the sky, by the time the "Saturn" twin planes discovered the target attacking in the sky behind them, it was already too late: just above the "Saturn" twin planes, which had arrived violently and were now a little dazed, Long Yun, who had completed the maneuver, had already completed the rendezvous with Liu Wei again.
To his surprise, these two "princes" were so big that they didn't have any feints at all, and flew over one after the other, without any defense behind them; Such an opportunity can be said to be fleeting, Long Yun and Liu Wei immediately entered the rice machine formation and dived, and swept down from a height of nine thousand meters!
In the clear sky, the gray-blue figure was like wind and electricity, the shock wave and the divergent white smoke pierced the sky, and the J-7, which was already in a supersonic state, further accelerated in the dive!
Right in front of Long Yun, the two small targets gradually grew larger, and as the speed climbed, he could feel a slight tremor in the body, and at this time, the airspeed monitor showed that the speed had exceeded Mach 1.7! Such a high-speed approach, even if the enemy has already noticed it, the speed difference between us and the enemy is as high as hundreds of kilometers per hour, and they will not have a chance to escape again.
Just when the "Chenlong" twin planes thundered behind the two MiG-29s of the "Saturn" and were about to collide almost a few seconds later, the "Saturn" combination, which was a little caught off guard, woke up from an inexplicable panic.
They're - they're here!
Keeping Mach one point and two speeds to search in place, the opponent who could not be found everywhere suddenly killed from the most dangerous direction, which surprised the "two nine princes"; But as a seasoned competitive player, they are naturally not ordinary people who panic in case of trouble, they reacted almost immediately, and the two MiG-29s immediately turned sideways and separated from each other!
