Chapter 99 Night Battle at 8000m Altitude

Chapter 99 - Night Fight at 8000 Altitude

Hey, you bastards, I finally recognize you.

Chen Fei sat in the cockpit, feeling a little confused.

Except for video games, he had never really taken off by himself!

He saw the neighboring No. 212 start the turboprop, and the short-haired girl in the front seat gestured to him, pointing outside the hangar without question.

Damn it, I can only bite the bullet and go.

The first step is to fasten the seat belt.

The second step is to put on the helmet.

The third step is to open the communication channel.

"Rookie, are you ready?"

As soon as the call was connected, I heard the voice of Ilini Lucius.

A jet whizzed past the main take-off and landing runway with a huge roar, and raised its nose and pierced the sky.

Chekov the big bear ran first, leaving behind the entire "Zhenxiang" squadron!

Several other A-39B "Big Mouth Monster" light turboprop attack aircraft followed closely and rushed onto the runway, taking off one after another in a race against time to gain air superiority for the 911 Air Force Base.

"Ready."

Chen Fei ignited the engine, and the nose turboprop spun violently, and the vibration transmitted to the fuselage quickly entered a balanced state.

After decades of continuous optimization, the PT6A series turboprop engine is a general-purpose engine with mature technology that cannot be more mature. It has very few shortcomings, is fuel-efficient and has high output, reliable quality, and stable performance.

The five blades stirred the air at high speed, and the resulting reverse thrust easily drove the 3.5-ton fully loaded fuselage.

The tower communication has not yet been restored, but someone stood near the turboprop with a large whiteboard, motioning to the pilot in the cockpit to see.

Direction 253 (slightly south of due west)

Distance 65 kilometers

Altitude 8,800 meters

Number 18

Speed ​​0.4 Mach

Identified as A-39B "Big Mouth Monster"

Identification friend or foe code: 911-33585 #

"Come up as soon as possible, I will keep an eye on you, be brave."

With the voice of the deputy squadron leader "Devil Pepper" Illini Lucius, No. 212 slid out of the hangar, speeding up.

On the main take-off and landing runway, the wing tip beacon lights of the soaring turboprop aircraft were red on one side and green on the other, flashing continuously and plunging into the night sky.

"Damn it, done!"

Chen Fei gritted his teeth, increased the throttle output, and controlled the "Big Mouth Monster" to slide forward slowly.

At worst, he would have another physical landing. At least this time he had a parachute, so he wouldn't fall too badly.

Since he confirmed that he was invulnerable, he became much bolder, and he was no longer the honest child more than a month ago.

911 Air Force Base... this place is poisonous!

Fortunately, the ground crew knew that he was a real rookie, and they relayed guidance throughout the whole process. There was also a whiteboard with text to remind the precautions. No. 211 "Big Mouth Monster" slowly slid onto the waiting area of ​​the main take-off and landing runway. It was the last one, so there was no need to worry about other fighters urging it behind.

Chen Fei really didn't dare to go fast, for fear that his little hand would shake and he would crash directly into the grass, which would be a lot of fun.

Combat damage and self-damage are completely different things. He really can't afford to pay for a "Big Mouth Monster".

Especially at this juncture, if a plane was damaged before the battle, it must be that Manager Hana wanted to hang Chen Fei up and beat him to death.

Straighten the nose of the plane, slowly push the throttle to the maximum, and the strong push back pressed Chen Fei tightly on the seat. The speedometer began to read, 30km120km, 170km, 230km, 300km... Pull the lever!

The level began to deflect, and the altimeter reading rose rapidly. After a slight sigh of relief, Chen Fei finally caught the figures of the other five "Big Mouth Monsters". They were hovering over the 911 Air Crew Base, waiting for him.

"Very good, rookie, keep climbing, we will follow you!"

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

Although the takeoff action was a bit sloppy and not neat enough, at least it was a smooth takeoff.

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

Chen Fei had to keep the joystick pulled back to keep the No. 211 "Big Mouth Monster" in a large radius and large angle of attack climbing posture. After all, safety comes first.

He took the time to look at the ground. The few lights in the 911 Air Crew Base dimmed and fell 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 9,100 meters first. Don't worry about 'Peanut Butter'. He's going to go it alone!"

Ilini Lucius responded while controlling her No. 212 aircraft to follow closely behind Chen Fei's No. 211 aircraft on the left.

Except for No. 215 aircraft, the other four "Big Mouth Monsters" followed her No. 212 aircraft.

Before gaining enough height advantage, don't consider directly meeting the enemy.

"This is No. 215. The enemy has divided its forces. The first part is heading to No. 210, at an altitude of 7,500 meters and a distance of 40 kilometers. The second part is heading to No. 290, at an altitude of 8,000 meters and a distance of 45 kilometers."

After refueling and ammunition on the ground, the No. 215 "Big Mouth Monster" equipped with an electronic reconnaissance pod still took off for early warning to provide battlefield intelligence to other comrades in time.

Through the battlefield data link, each "Big Mouth Monster" can confirm the position, speed and altitude of both the enemy and us.

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

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

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

Although the number of enemy aircraft groups has an absolute advantage, which is three times the combat strength of the "True Fragrance" squadron, the battle in the sky is not determined by numbers alone. High speed and large maneuvers are enough to diffuse the disadvantage in numbers. As long as there is no mistake, the ammunition carried by the "Big Mouth Monster" is enough to teach the opponent a new life.

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

Although the weather conditions at high altitude are good, the clouds are thin, and there is an exceptionally bright moonlight, it is still a little unclear.

A team of enemy "big-mouthed monsters" rushing towards the 911 Air Force Base was caught off guard by the MiG-28, which was calculated but unintentional, and suffered a great loss on the spot.

Although Chekov Big Bear's character is not good, his professional quality is quite outstanding, otherwise he would not have become a squadron leader that every pilot believes in.

The enemy "big-mouthed monsters" divided into two teams were knocked down on the spot. The MiG-28 did not want to fight and left with one strike, and the sky echoed with loud thunder.

Turboprops can't catch up with supersonic jets. The afterburner speed of the MiG-28 is more than three times the maximum speed of the "big-mouthed monsters", and it is almost a crushing victory without suspense.

No wonder Chekov Big Bear chose the MiG-28 as his battle vehicle without hesitation.

After the MiG-28 forced several insertions, the team of "big-mouthed monsters" was forced to scatter and completely lost their tactical formation.

The other side never thought that after being beheaded by the elite squad of the American Brothers United Defense Consortium, the 911 Air Force Base could actually organize air forces to fight back, catching them off guard.

The 909 Air Force Base and the military contractors behind them heard that the American Brothers United sent a mid-level combat professional, a low-level magician and two E-level or above psychics, plus an elite warrior using optical stealth equipment. Such a force to sneak attack the 911 Air Force Base, even the 909 Air Force Base itself can't stop it.

"Now the altitude is 9,100 meters, the guidance is completed, the distance is 21 kilometers, and it is about to enter the visual range and lock the target!"

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

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

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

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

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

Squadron leader Chekov is now a ghostly free man, and the deputy squadron leader short-haired girl has become the combat commander of the turboprop formation of the "Zhenxiang" combat flight squadron.

"Everyone disengage, bearing 360, altitude 7000!"

With the No. 215 aircraft acting as an early warning aircraft, the tactics will become very boring.

After the missile is launched, don't worry about it, quickly move the position and prepare for the second wave of attack.

This kind of battle is completely the first to strike, the last to strike will suffer.

Two rounds of combat missiles rushed over, and at least half of the "big mouth monster" formation on the opposite side would be killed.

Turboprop aircraft can't even catch up with jet aircraft, let alone missiles. The hit rate of the oncoming missiles will be frighteningly high.

When the missile's locking signal was detected, the tail flame and the tail trail had entered the visual range. The nine enemy "big mouth monsters" immediately lost their composure and released combat missiles without thinking.

It's a pity that they didn't lock it, and the "big mouth monsters" who were "really fragrant" had already taken the opportunity to run away, so this wave of counterattacks was equivalent to useless work.

As for the No. 215 aircraft with an electronic reconnaissance pod and still under guidance: Come on.

In a sense, the AWACS is a low-power EMP, which is incompetent and is the best at making trouble.

The missiles flying over were quickly stunned, and they ran around like headless flies, then ran out of propellant and exploded in the sky.

As expected, one of the two turboprop formations of the 909 Air Force Base, which was divided into two groups, was destroyed by the first wave of missiles, and the second wave of missiles killed two more.

More than half of the nine enemy "big mouth monsters" were killed before they even saw the shadow of the enemy.
