Chapter 220: Nicknamed the Cross Axe

Speculating on the number one trump card of the Red Air Force, Samsonov's idea did not appear out of thin air.

His doubts were not aimed at Long Yun's combat ability; It is whether this ace can adapt to the combat environment and integrate into the combat sequence of the 237 fighter aviation regiment.

With a detailed understanding of the combat career of the Red Air Force's number one ace, Samsonov knew that before he was transferred from the 309th Front-line Fighter Regiment, he always liked to fight alone and fight more with less in air combat; The wingman assigned to him in the regiment, the pilot seemed to be unskilled, but he was surprisingly lucky, and after being shot down several times but being able to return to his station safely, he became famous on the entire Western European front.

Since then, he has been allowed to go it alone, to another parachute adventure, and until the fierce aerial battle that shocked the warring parties, the ace lieutenant colonel has been a loner and still comfortable against a large number of opponents.

Not only that, but probably dissatisfied with the low combat efficiency of over-the-horizon missiles such as the R-27, this ace pilot prefers to fly MiG aircraft to engage in high-intensity combat confrontation with the enemy, and use skillful technology and resolute judgment to destroy enemy aircraft in thrilling visual air battles.

Most of Viktor Rezenov's 25 shootdown records were achieved using R-73 missiles and aerial guns, which probably shows the number of combat battles of the number one ace; Looking at the ace pilots who emerged in this war in the Red Air Force, it is actually a common phenomenon.

However, this is not absolute: speaking of trump cards, this is not the case with Kamenev of their 237 fighter aviation regiment.

Major Kamenev's six new takedowns in this war (one he had previously flown in a border operation) were all achieved using the R-27R, which was guided by a semi-active radar, a style of combat influenced by the 237th Regiment's engagement simulation.

As a fighter regiment responsible for air defense around the national border, the 237th Regiment's combat mode is mainly high-speed interception, using over-the-horizon missiles to shoot at these opponents that are invisible to the naked eye after locking on the target, and then turning and accelerating to break away, so as to avoid falling into a close conflict with the opponent as much as possible.

Even so, in the month since the start of the war, they have lost nearly 10 fighters, and their combat effectiveness has continued to decline because they have not been quickly replenished.

In a relatively dangerous fight, this way of standing at a distance and firing a gun is safer and can ensure the continuous combat capability of the aviation regiment; However, it also made many pilots who were eager to fight and eager to kill the enemy feel dissatisfied.

Can the combat-loving Viktor Rezenov get used to, or even like, this mode of combat now?

I'm afraid this question still has to be answered by Long Yun himself.

Regarding the thoughts of the people in the group, Long Yun has not snooped on them one by one in the past two days.

Originally, it was not surprising that Long Yun's consciousness snooping could only understand the thoughts of a single person at the same time, and could not receive and monitor them in an all-round way; And he is now focusing all his attention on the Red Seventeen, whether it is take-off training or technical study, he is very serious, just to join the 237 regiment one day earlier.

With the increase in the number of drives, Long Yun's understanding of the Su-27 also deepened rapidly.

After holding the technical manual in his hand and staying in the hangar to reverie about the significance of this heavy fighter to the Soviet Air Force and to the entire Soviet Union, he felt that the responsibility on his body was heavy, and he did not even rush to return to reality and participate in the first battle of the qualifiers of the "Chenlong"; Rather, it is intended to get acquainted with the Su-27S in a parallel world, and at least return to reality after participating in at least a few battles.

In addition to the sense of responsibility for his current identity, what probably attracted him was the real feeling of flying the Su-27 fighter.

Just like today, the massive, fuel-rich single-seat Su-27S soars through the skies of the Caucasus, up and down through dense clouds; The high angle of attack climbs until it breaks out of the gloomy gray clouds, and the sunlight shines unhindered on the streamlined skin, glowing with a soft and unpredictable sheen under the side gaze of Long Yun.

This feeling of flying freely is indeed extraordinary.

"Call the anvil, the cross axe is ready, and you can conduct interception training."

"Anvil received. -- There is no abnormality in the air situation reported on the ground; The target hypothetical is set at one o'clock, at a distance of seventy, and an altitude of five thousand and five hundred meters. โ€

After calling Korolev, who was accompanying him on the radio, the red No. 17 Su-27S piloted by Long Yun and the fighter of the same type 100 meters away with the same exterior finish both turned on the afterburner and climbed sharply towards the airspace of more than 9,000 meters.

"Anvil" and "Cross Axe", these two tactical calls, which are not at all foreign, were the ideas of wingman Korolev.

In order to maintain secrecy in air combat and to avoid revealing the identities of the pilots involved in the battle if radio signals were intercepted, Soviet Air Force pilots, like their NATO counterparts, often used nicknames rather than rigid tactical numbers to call their teammates in battle.

However, unlike Western pilots, who often leak some inexplicable artistic temperament or bizarre ideas, compared with their call signs that are either non-mainstream or do not know the so-called "orange", "cello", "Homer" and so on, these rugged and heroic young people often use manly call signs.

Now, although the airspace where Long Yun and Korolev flew is still far from the battle line, under the monitoring of the three-coordinate radar deployed on the ground, there should be no NATO planes sneaking in; Moreover, this ace of the Air Force will soon take to the skies to fight, and it is conceivable that he will go on a killing spree - it will be useless to keep it secret when the time comes, and everyone will know that Viktor Rezenov has left the European theater and joined the 237 Fighter Aviation Regiment.

Therefore, the current confidential call is mainly to develop a habit for him, so that he will not be mistaken when he fights later.

Oh, you say you don't know what a "cross axe" is?

Take a look at the R-27R, which has a sharp wing and a flamboyant appearance, which should be the origin of the name.

Piloting the Su-27S, which was equipped with a total of six missiles in two middle schools and four countries, Long Yun took the lead in maintaining a large angle of attack and a rapid climb with a large afterburner, and had climbed to an altitude of nearly 8,000 meters in less than 30 seconds. Korolev, who was in formation next to him, also flew with his head held high at this time, closely following the Longyun landline to fly, keeping their relative positions basically unchanged.

In the sky, the flames from the tail vents of the two fighters were extremely clear, leaving a rather steep white trail in the sky.

Tilting his head in the cockpit to look back, Long Yun saw Korolev's Su-27S, not only painted with the same livery as his own landline, but even the red No. 17 with the same number.

Although he already knew the arrangement, Long Yun still felt a little funny when he saw it.

Look at the sky around you, there is not even a bird at this time, who will show the exact same number?
