split sky ride

Chapter 99 - Night Battle Altitude 8000
Hey, you bastards, I finally recognize you.

Chen Fei sat in the cockpit, looking a little square.

Except for video games, I have never really taken off by myself!
He saw the nearby No. 212 start the turboprop, and the short-haired girl in the front seat gestured at him, pointing unquestionably to the outside of the hangar.

Damn, I can only bite the bullet.

The first step is to fasten your seat belt.

Step two, put on the helmet.

The third step is to open the communication channel.

"Rookie, are you ready?"

As soon as it was connected, I heard the voice of Irini Lucius.

With a huge roar, a jet roared past the main takeoff and landing runway, raised its nose, and pierced into the sky.

Chekov's big bear ran away first, and he left the entire "Zhenxiang" squadron behind!
Several other A-39B "Big Mouth Monster" light turboprop attack aircraft rushed onto the runway, racing against time to take off one after another, fighting for air supremacy for the 911 Air Base.

"Ready."

Chen Fei ignited the ignition, and the nose turboprop spun violently, and the vibration transmitted to the fuselage quickly entered a state of equilibrium.

After decades of continuous optimization, the PT6A series turboprop engine is a general-purpose engine with mature technology that can no longer be matured. It has few shortcomings, is fuel-efficient and has high output, reliable quality and stable performance.

The five blades stir the air at high speed, and the resulting reverse thrust easily drives the 3.5-ton fully loaded body.

The tower communication has not yet been restored, but someone is standing near the turboprop holding a large whiteboard, gesturing to the pilots in the cockpit to see.

Direction 253 (due west and slightly south)

65 kilometers away
Height 8800 meters

Quantity 18
Speed ​​Mach 0.4
Identified as A-39B "Big Mouth"

IFF code: 911-33585#
"Follow up as soon as possible, I will keep an eye on you, be bolder."

With the voice of the deputy squadron leader "Devil Pepper" Irini Lucius, No. 212 slid out of the hangar, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

On the main take-off and landing runway, the beacon lights on the wingtips of the soaring turboprops were red and green on one side, flashing on the other and plunged into the night sky.

"Damn it, it's done!"

Chen Fei gritted his teeth, increased the output of the throttle valve, and controlled the "big mouth monster" to slide forward slowly.

It's a big deal to make another physical landing. Anyway, there is a parachute this time, so I won't fall too badly.

Ever since he confirmed that he is invulnerable, he has gained a lot of courage, and he is no longer the honest boy he was more than a month ago.

The 911 aircrew base... is poisonous!

Fortunately, the ground crew knew that he was a real rookie. He relayed the guidance throughout the whole process, and there was also a whiteboard with written reminders. The No. 211 "big mouth monster" slowly slid onto the waiting area of ​​the main takeoff and landing runway. It was the last One, don't worry there are other fighters urging behind.

Chen Fei really didn't dare to hurry, he was afraid that with a shake of his little hand, he would crash into the grass, and that would be a lot of fun.

Battle damage and self-damage are completely different things, and he really can't afford to pay for a "big mouth monster".

Especially at this juncture, if the fight broke out before the fight started, Manager Hana probably wanted to hang Chen Fei up and beat him to death.

Straighten the nose, slowly push the throttle to the maximum, the strong push back pressed Chen Fei firmly on the seat, the speedometer began to read, 30km, 60km, 80km, 120km, 170km, 230km, 300km... Pull the lever!
The level began to deflect, and the altimeter reading rose rapidly. After a little relief, Chen Fei finally caught sight of the other five "big mouth monsters", which were circling over the 911 air base, waiting for him.

"Very good, rookie, continue to climb, we will follow you!"

The voice of "Devil Pepper" Irini Lucius came into Chen Fei's ears, and his tone was full of encouragement.

Although the take-off action was somewhat sloppy and not crisp enough, at least it was considered a smooth take-off.

"What's the height? Where's the squadron leader?"

Chen Fei had no choice but to keep the angle of the joystick pulled back, so that the No. 211 "big mouth monster" maintained a climbing posture with a large radius and a large angle of attack. After all, safety came first.

He took the time to glance at the ground, and the few lights in the 911 Air Base were all dimmed, and it was plunged into darkness.

After the combat pilots took off collectively, the entire base entered a blackout, and all ground personnel were ready for air defense.

"Climb to 9100 meters first, don't worry about 'peanut butter', he is ready to go it alone!"

While responding, Irini Lucius controlled her No. 212 machine to follow closely behind Chen Fei's No. 211 machine on the left.

Except for No. 215, the other four "big mouth monsters" followed her No. 212.

Before gaining a sufficient altitude advantage, do not consider directly meeting the enemy for the time being.

"Here is 215. The enemy has divided their troops. The first part is 210, the height is 7500 meters, and the distance is 40 kilometers. The second part is 290, the height is 8000 meters, and the distance is 45 kilometers."

The No. 215 "Big Mouth Monster" equipped with an electronic reconnaissance pod was replenished with fuel and ammunition on the ground, and then still launched an early warning to provide timely battlefield information for other comrades in arms.

Through the battlefield data link, each "big mouth monster" can confirm the position, speed and altitude of both the enemy and us.

The EMP, which caused indiscriminate damage, created a large area of ​​communication interruption, so that the enemy fleet still failed to notice that the air power of the 911 Air Base had appeared and was trying its best to seize the altitude.

A light flashed in the distance, illuminating half of the night sky.

"Devil's Pepper" Irini Rousius said in surprise: "'Peanut Butter' succeeded."

Although the number of incoming enemy planes occupies an absolute advantage, three times the strength of the "Zhenxiang" squadron, the battle in the sky does not depend on the number alone to determine victory or defeat. Make no mistake, the ammunition carried by the "Big Mouth Monster" at full capacity is enough to teach opponents to be human again.

Immediately afterwards, there was another light, and the large and small flames slowly fell to the ground.

Although the high-altitude weather conditions are good, the clouds are thin, and there is an extraordinarily bright moonlight, it still looks a bit unreal.

A group of enemy "big mouth monsters" who were rushing towards the 911 air base were caught off guard by the MiG-28, who did mental calculations and did not care, and suffered a big loss on the spot.

Although Chekov's character is not good, his professional quality is quite good, otherwise he would not be the squadron leader who convinces every pilot.

The enemy "big-mouth monsters" that were divided into two teams were knocked out on the spot. The MiG-28 was not willing to fight, and left with one blow. The sky echoed with loud thunder.

Turboprops can't catch up with afterburning supersonic jets. The afterburning speed of the MiG-28 is more than three times the maximum speed of the "big mouth monster", which is almost crushed without any suspense.

No wonder Chekov the big bear chose the MiG-28 as his car without hesitation.

After the MiG-28 forcibly interspersed several times, the team of "big mouth monsters" was forced to disperse and completely lost their tactical formation.

The opponent never expected that the 911 Air Force Base would be able to organize an air force to fight after being beheaded and raided by the elite squad of the Merman Brothers United Defense Consortium, which caught them by surprise.

The 909 Air Force Base and the military contractor behind it have heard that the Meiman Brothers have jointly dispatched a mid-level fighter, a low-level magician, and two E-level and above supernatural powers , coupled with an elite fighter using optical stealth equipment, such a force to attack the 911 Aircrew Base, even the 909 Aircrew Base itself cannot stop it.

"Now the altitude is 9100 meters, the guidance is completed, the distance is 21 kilometers, and it is about to enter the line of sight, lock the target!"

Aircraft No. 215, which temporarily served as an early warning aircraft, took on its own tactical responsibilities. The "Peanut Butter" Chekov squadron leader dealt with a formation of enemy planes, and their six "big mouth monsters" dealt with another formation of enemy planes.

Although it is not a real early warning aircraft, after mounting the electronic reconnaissance pod, it has obtained some relatively simple functions, such as guided firepower, multiple target locking and battlefield dynamic trajectory collection, etc., which are shared with the battlefield data link. other fighters.

"Devil Pepper" Irini Lucius said loudly in the communication channel: "Aim at the target, FOX1, three, two, one, launch!"

After completing the climb, Chen Fei, who entered the wingman position, pressed the launch button together with other pilots.

The body shook, and the two programmable combat bombs broke away from the hanging point together, and a blazing flame was ejected from the tail, pushing the bomb body forward and lasing away. The multi-mode seeker can choose FOX-1 (semi-automatic electromagnetic wave guidance) before launching ) mode, FOX-2 (infrared guidance) mode, FOX-3 (automatic electromagnetic wave guidance), FOX-L (laser guidance).

Squadron leader Chekov is now a free man who is elusive, and the deputy squadron leader with short hair has become the turboprop formation combat commander of the "True Fragrance" combat flight squadron.

"All leave, azimuth 360, altitude 7000!"

With Aircraft No. 215 serving as an early warning aircraft, the tactics would become very boring.

Regardless of the missile launch, quickly shift positions and prepare for the second attack wave.

This kind of battle is to strike first to be strong, and to strike later to suffer.

Two rounds of fighting bombs rushed over, and at least half of the formation of "big mouth monsters" on the opposite side would be killed.

Turboprops can't even catch up with jets, let alone missiles. The hit rate of oncoming missiles will be frighteningly high.

When the missile's locking signal was detected, the tail flame and trail had already entered the visible distance, and the nine enemy "big-mouth monsters" immediately lost their positions, and released fighting bombs regardless of 21 [-].

It's a pity that firstly, they didn't lock in, and secondly, the "big mouth monsters" of "Zhenxiang" had already taken the opportunity to run away, and this wave of counterattacks was useless.

As for the No. 215 aircraft with the electronic reconnaissance pod hanging on it, which is still under guidance: Come here.

In a sense, the early warning aircraft is a low-power EMP.

The missiles that flew over soon became dizzy, scurrying around like headless chickens, and then ran out of propellant, exploding themselves in high altitude.

As expected, one of the two turboprop formations of the 909 Air Service Base, which was divided into two groups, was blown up by the first wave of missiles on the spot, and two more were killed by the second wave of missiles.

Nine enemy "big mouth monsters" lost more than half without even seeing the enemy's shadow.
