On the windy and rainy flight deck, the colorful vests had something to hold onto to stand firm. Everyone wanted to return to the cabin in the hangar, have a cup of special black tea or coffee, and chat, but no one Dare to do this. The air defense sirens are blaring and the enemy is attacking. If no action is taken, this amphibious assault ship, which is performing its first mission, is likely to become a victory for the enemy and a shame for our army.
Zhang Juzuo took his air crew team to the deck despite the wind and rain. Although it was raining outside, there were no J-8V fighters parked on the deck at first. Captain Tang Zuogang, who was very vigilant, specifically asked the air crew to Keep at least two J-8Vs parked on the deck, even if they are caught in the rain. So Zhang Juzuo and his comrades used huge rainproof cloth to cover the two J-8Vs and fixed them in the parking area of ??the flight deck.
At this time, Zhang Juzuo was deeply impressed by the captain's foresight. He put the fighter planes on alert and waited for orders at any time even in the wind and rain. He also asked the North Sea Fleet's shore-based early warning aircraft to keep cruising, so that the Korean fighter jets could be grasped as soon as they took off. . As a military commander, he was never too cautious, and Tang Zuogang taught Zhang Juzuo a good lesson.
Zhang Juzuo personally rushed to the flight deck with his comrades, and took down the rain sheet despite the wind and rain. Two more comrades drove the boarding ladder trolley to set it up. The two Red Alert pilots immediately climbed into their fighter planes and conducted a final system check nervously and orderly.
Both J-8Vs were fully armed, with six air-to-air missiles mounted under their wings, including two PL-8s and four PL-12s. Zhang Juzuo knew that the main function of these two J-8Vs was to delay enemy aircraft. Attack, the four fighter planes on the ship alone are never enough to resist the invading South Korean Air Force. The shore-based naval aviation forces in the rear will also scramble fighter planes to reinforce after being notified. Therefore, as long as they can withstand the enemy aircraft, they will never be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
"Damn it, are you guys desperate for your life? Do you have to fight with us?" A noisy voice sounded from beside you.
When Zhang Juzuo saw that it was actually the Jarhead Zu Xiaozhou, he couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing here?"
"Come and help!"
Zhang Juzuo said angrily: "Just stop making trouble!"
"Hey, don't underestimate us. We have received similar training just to deal with emergencies like this." Zu Xiaozhou and his comrades immediately followed the training content and joined each group. Some were responsible for refueling the fighter planes, some ran to help the elevator, and some got on the tractor. It really looked like it.
This is also a helpless move, because there are really very few experienced air crew members on the Hainan now, and as the elite Evil Jiao Commando Team often has ship-based missions, temporary guest air crews are a required course. At this time, they are sent Used.
Zhang Juzuo ignored them and ran to a plane with a small board and said to the pilot: "Comrade, please lightly apply the brakes and check the front and rear flaps."
"Check the left rear flap, normal."
"Check the right rear flap, normal."
"Weapon system check, the weapon indication system is normal. Switch the cannon, the cannon rotates, normal. Switch the missile, the missile tracking system operates, normal. Switch the thermal decoy weapon countermeasure system, the response is good, normal. Weapon system and countermeasure system normal."
"The terminal speed is normal, the altitude is normal, the chassis is normal, the signal lights are faultless, the flight inspection is completed, Golden-billed Ou 31 requests to take off!"
A man in a yellow vest squatted half-crouched, with one hand behind his back and the other stretched forward. The J-8V's engine nozzle shone with orange-red light. He slid over the flight deck for more than a hundred meters and then left the deck and flew into the sky. middle. Then another J-8V followed and took off from the deck.
In order to block the enemy aircraft as much as possible in the inner defense circle that threatened the fleet, the two J-8Vs turned on afterburner and entered the fastest speed of Mach 1.6. Through data link sharing, they had obtained information about the invading enemy from the South Korean Air Force. intelligence.
"4 F-5s, 4 F-4s, approaching at high speed."
As a short-range vertical take-off and landing fighter, the J-8V has a limited bomb load capacity. For example, the two current fighters can only carry 6 air-to-air missiles each, while the J-10, the Air Force's main air superiority fighter, can carry only 6 air-to-air missiles if necessary. It can carry up to 12 missiles, and their usual mission mounting layout is also 8 or 10 missiles. Although 6 missiles are enough in a moderately intense air battle, it should be somewhat gratifying to consider that older generation fighters such as the J-7 can only carry 4 or even 2 missiles.
The J-10 in Qi Yiming's timeline also carried 6 mounts for basic air superiority missions. After he traveled through time, he brought a modified version of the J-10, which is simply a European Typhoon-style J-10 fighter with 17 pylons. The mounting capability is incredible. The Navy is also covetous of the J-10's ability to mount bombs, especially since its multi-purpose performance is pretty good and it can carry a load of more than seven tons. However, the J-8V currently used by the Navy has just been given awayIn hand, although it has the capability of short vertical take-off and landing, the bomb load capacity of more than 3 tons is really not dare to show off.
"The data link downloads the enemy's coordinates, and Tianniao 12 conducts guidance." At this distance, the J-8V's airborne radar cannot catch the opponent, but it is not a problem with the balance beam radar of the early warning aircraft. Such a unified combat mode, in fact, The fighter jet only serves as a launch platform for missiles, and the command center of the early warning aircraft is the one that actually performs discovery and guidance.
Without any hesitation, the two J-8Vs fired all their medium-range missiles, and the Mach 4 assault PL-12 also without any suspense hit the Korean fighter jets that they thought were flying across the sea and could not be discovered by the Chinese Air Force.
"What's going on? Have we been discovered by the Chinese?" The South Korean Air Force pilots who originally attacked with fear lost five comrades in a matter of seconds. Four fighter planes were directly shot down, and one was crumbling after being damaged. It seemed that it was planning to make an emergency landing somewhere.
"Another Chinese beyond-visual-range missile! Damn it!" The Korean army had suffered enough from the PL-12 before. At this distance of fifty or sixty kilometers, the Chinese can launch the PL-12 as they like. Attack the opponent, and the Korean army sometimes cannot even find out where the Chinese fighter planes are here, let alone attack the opponent.
There is no way to detect the opponent, and their semi-active radar-guided Sparrow missiles cannot attack. However, they are also lucky today, because behind several fighter planes is their own fleet, and entangling the opponent is the first priority, so the two The Jaegers would not take the previous method of detouring, deliberately making the Korean army invisible and then sneak attacks from other positions. They must now face the Korean fighter planes and engage in a face-to-face life and death battle to protect the fleet.
"The Chinese have been found, attack quickly!" At this time, the Korean F-5E finally saw the J-8V fighter. Eager to be the first to shoot down the Chinese fighter, the Korean pilot quickly pressed the missile launch button.
It's just that the missiles they launched were still AIM-7Es, with a hit rate of only more than ten percent. Moreover, when the radar beam scanned the two J-8Vs, the radar alarms were already sounding. The two fighters were not in a hurry and followed the lead. After making a maneuvering response, the rolling Skua easily escaped the F-5E's fire control radar. As soon as the Sparrow missile lost its target signal, it immediately turned into a headless fly and did not know where to go.
After dodging this wave of AIM-7 attacks, the two sides had already entered within visual range. Two J-8Vs faced off against two F-5Es and one F-4E, but that F-4E was carrying bombs. They were preparing to attack ships, so they did not engage in air combat.
But the J-8V pays more attention to this F-4E than the remaining two covering F-5Es. Unless the Koreans also want to learn from the kamikaze team, otherwise this F-4 carrying at least three tons of bombs will is the biggest threat. Frankly speaking, it is basically impossible for this kind of ordinary aerial bomb to cause much damage to the Hainan, but you can't let it go just because it can't sink you.
A J-8V dived down suddenly and launched a PL-8 missile towards the F-4. The PL-8 they equipped has the ability to attack in all directions, which is better than the AIM-9P currently equipped by the US military. It is higher and more powerful than the early model Sidewinder currently used by the Korean army.
This F-4E, loaded with bombs, wanted to avoid the missiles, but it was too heavy, which affected its maneuverability, so it could only fire heat decoys quickly. Who knew that the PLA version of PL-8 could distinguish the difference between heat decoys and aircraft nozzle heat, and still chased the F-4 Phantom II. Regular firing of heat decoys generally requires some maneuvers such as rolling. This guy is just flying flat, and there is no other way except being shot down.
After killing this F-4E, the remaining two F-5s also rushed towards the J-8V with red eyes, but another Skua took the opportunity to pull the aircraft, and suddenly the nose of the aircraft was aimed at the J-8V. On a diving F-5E, the pilot fired a cluster of 23mm cannon shells, which directly penetrated the left wing and tail engine of the F-5E. Although it was not directly destroyed, the fighter also lost the ability to fight again. He quickly exited the battle circle, kept the plane in flying position, and escaped.
The last F-5E found that he was the only one left, and he was also timid. However, his position was good, just behind the J-8V that had just shot down the F-4, but he still found that he was too optimistic. After the J-8V discovered that it had been bitten by the tail, it immediately climbed up and made a sudden turn. The F-5E was immediately in tragedy. When it found another J-8V approaching from behind, this Korean pilot who had lost confidence in combat was actually in The opponent pressed the ejection button without launching missiles or cannons. Perhaps he was afraid that there would be no possibility of escape after being hit, so it was better to take advantage of the opportunity and eject immediately to escape.
"Attention, the second wave of enemy fighters is coming. Golden-billed Gulls 31 and 32 will return immediately! Repeat, Golden-billed Gulls 31 and 32 will return immediately."
Just after the two J-8Vs completed their air combat missions, their replacements, two more carrier-based J-8Vs, also arrived on the battlefield. About 200 kilometers behind, eight J-8Vs took off from the land base. 8V is also thereEntering this airspace, even if the second wave of Korean air raid fleets were approaching, the entire fleet was temporarily relieved.
