Chapter 1784 Interception at night

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    An army aviation base on the Korean peninsula.

    When the siren sounded, the little devil's army aviation pilot Kojima Zhongtai quickly ran into his plane.  His two companions, with him, also jumped aboard.  Then, the plane's engine started up quickly.

    If it is during the daytime, if an emergency is found, take off to intercept, then the little devils will dispatch their most common ordinary single-engine fighter jets.  But this kind of aircraft is not very useful at night.  Since there is only one pilot, he has to take care of the flight, search for the target, and attack. In many cases, it is impossible for one person to be competent.  So now after receiving the news, this twin-engine aircraft was sent out to perform the mission.  It is very similar to an ordinary twin-engine aircraft, with a streamlined fuselage in the middle, a large nose, a small rear, straight wings on both sides, and an engine inserted on each wing.  It's just that in the army equipment of the little devil, this kind of aircraft is rarely seen, because the two engines are too resource-intensive.

    This aircraft is called Type 13, (there is also information called Thirteen Test, I don¡¯t know what this test means, does it mean experiment?) Its development also has some twists and turns.

    In 1937, the little devils began to bomb China across the sea.  With the expansion of the battle front, the existing aircraft were not enough, so the little devil found that he needed a long-range twin-engine land fighter.

    At the same time, during the war, they also realized that their single-seat fighters usually have insufficient communication and navigation capabilities when flying long distances. They need a "guide fighter", which can not only navigate  Sometimes, you can fight like a fighter jet.

    So, the little devil transformed his Type 2 land reconnaissance plane into a Type 13 twin-engine land fighter.  The prototype was completed last year, code-named Tianlei, although it is an ordinary fighter with twin engines, it is equipped with three crew members.  The wings are equipped with two 1,200-horsepower engines, which are said to have good power, but after it was manufactured, the little devil discovered that the aircraft was overweight, so the combat performance was not very good.  Therefore, this type of aircraft was not mass-produced, and the only few aircraft were equipped with aviation bases on the Korean Peninsula.

    Now, after the engines on both sides started, Kojima Zhongtai quickly pushed the accelerator to full power, and amidst the rumbling sound of the engines, their plane taxied quickly and then flew into the sky.

    The navigator Okawa Shiro held the chart in his left hand and a pencil in his right hand, and kept drawing on it.  At the same time, he was still in constant contact with the ground: "Where is the target plane now? How about its altitude and speed? Send it quickly."

    In this era, although the little devils have not yet experienced night bombing, they already have specialized radar equipment.  Earlier, when a plane was spotted approaching, the radar station hadn't paid much attention to it.  But then the plane flew to Tokyo and dropped a large number of leaflets. When it returned, the radar locked on the target again, and immediately notified the target to the Army Aviation Command.  After research, they decided to let North Korea take off fighter planes from the airport to intercept them.  Whether it is day or night, they must destroy the incoming enemies.

    The little devils are still somewhat sure. Last time during the day, they taught the American bomber force a hard lesson.  That's why the Americans didn't dare to come during the day, and stopped for more than ten days, but now it's turned to night.  Even if it comes at night, Americans must not be allowed to have good fruit to eat.

    All hopes were pinned on this plane.  Since it is a three-person crew, it should be very suitable for performing search tasks.  As long as they can find that bomber, they are sure to shoot it down. After all, when this plane was originally designed, it was designed according to the goal of a long-range fighter. Although it was not as flexible as a fighter because of its overweight, the overall performance is quite good.  .  It has an absolute performance advantage against bombers.

    While climbing up, Kojima Zhongtai asked Shiro Okawa: "Which direction should we fly now?"

    "According to the current heading, continue to fly forward, and we will intercept the target in about 20 minutes." Okawa Shiro replied.

    This plane obviously took off from mainland China just like last time.  So when flying to the Japanese mainland to bomb, it will fly over the edge of the Korean peninsula.  This happens to be convenient for them to take off fighter jets from bases on the Korean peninsula to intercept them.

    The sound of radar kept coming from the earphones, guiding them to continue flying into the sky, but whether they could find the target in the end still depended on the three crew members.

    It is not easy to fight at night. In the beginning, night battles depended entirely on the pilot's eyes.  In that era, it was not so easy to find the target.?So when radar detection was invented, it was quickly used in combat.  There shouldn't be any problem with using radar to find the target, but the radar technology of this era is too backward, and the error may be several kilometers away.  Therefore, the radar is only responsible for guiding the aircraft to an approximate position. Whether it can find the target and shoot down the opponent depends on the pilot's ability.

    It was not until the later period of World War II, with the continuous improvement of radar technology, that engineers moved small radars to fighter jets.  It doesn't matter how far this radar can illuminate, a distance of five kilometers is enough, but the accuracy must be high enough to be able to determine the specific location of the enemy plane, so that the pilot can catch up with it.  In order to install this radar, the nose of the fighter must be empty, so night fighters are all dual-engine structures.  Otherwise, there is simply no way to install radar equipment.

    Now this little devil's plane does not have special radar equipment, they can only rely on their own eyes.  In the dark night sky, they carefully observed the airspace ahead, and time passed by like this.

    Li Pengfei had already completed the task of navigating.  He only needs to repeat the positioning after a while.  As long as you can fly to Shanxi, you are actually done.  Even if the accuracy is not high enough, there is finally radio navigation.  Now Li Pengfei has very high demands on himself. Even if there is no radio navigation, he still has to guide the plane back and successfully find the runway.  Only in this way can he show his role.

    After completing the positioning this time, Li Pengfei looked around. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on something in the distance, and then he said quickly: "Report, I found something flying in the night sky on the side ahead.  Come closer to us." (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
