The Type 23-3 double-barreled 23mm cannon located behind the nose landing gear is the same model used on the J-10 series fighter jets. Compared with the single-barreled 30mm cannon, it reduces recoil and increases firepower density.
With 230 rounds of ammunition prepared, Li Hai fired 44 rounds of 23mm aircraft cannon shells in one breath. From deciding to fire to completing the shooting, including turning on the weapon safety, Li Hai only took three seconds in the process.
When he was at the training base, Li Hai's nickname was Brother Three Seconds. His theory was that the outcome of a battle would be decided within three seconds. In close combat in modern air combat, after the two sides enter contact, if
There is still no way to tell the winner, and the battle will basically end in a stalemate.
This was absolutely unacceptable to Li Hai, who advocated lightning attacks. Therefore, his conclusion was "three seconds to win."
It is true that the current situation is not a real close combat, and the two sides are also in a state of power imbalance. The RC-135V/W is an airborne aircraft developed based on an excellent four-engine jet airliner. As a universal
The C-135 platform is widely used in the US military.
For example, the famous KC-135 aerial tanker uses this carrier aircraft as a platform.
However, no matter how excellent the carrier aircraft is, it is still a transport aircraft and can only be slaughtered in front of fighter jets. Even if Li Hai is currently flying a J-6 Plus, he still has more than a thousand ways to make the opponent survive rather than die.
cannot.
In three seconds, there are 17 control actions in the five essential steps of opening the weapon's main safety, selecting the cannon, powering on the weapon, aiming, and shooting. This does not include several adjustments that need to be made at any time in the process of aiming at the target.
action.
Li Hai, who had only received entry-level daytime shooting training in live-fire shooting, seemed to have divine help in placing his aiming point at the position of the RC-135V/W's left wingtip width indicator light.
The distance is 818 meters, the firing speed of the 23mm aircraft gun is about 700 meters/second, and considering that the instantaneous airspeed of the No. 81103 J-8F is about 120 meters/second faster than the RC-135V/W, the data Li Hai based on is-he
After the cannonball is splashed out, it reaches the aiming point in one second.
The RC-135V/W is making a left turn maneuver. According to the calculation of the aircraft's movement path, if the 44 rounds of aerial cannon shells are fired horizontally, they can basically cut off a section of the aircraft's left wing.
It can be seen that Li Hai still showed mercy, otherwise his aiming point would not be the width indicator light on the tip of the left wing, and the planned hit point would not be just the left wing of the target.
Dear teacher Li!
The flames formed by the aircraft cannon shells licked the past. At this time, Li Hai still had time to take out the Seagull military camera and get ready!
The first two rounds hit the target.
Then, basically consistent with Li Hai's prediction, the subsequent shells hit the target in groups of two. This string of shells hit the target on the left wing of the RC-135V/W about three meters away from the wing tip.
The point of impact is very much like the marks left by the air-cutting gun on the steel plate.
"Wow." Li Hai exclaimed and pressed the shutter dozens of times in an instant.
He used a delay lens, and the photo he took included a continuous light pattern similar to traffic at night, which looked very sci-fi.
Because of this, Li Hai exclaimed.
Li Hai observed the target carefully and was very satisfied with the effect.
The left wing of the RC-135V/W broke off a three-meter-long wing. In an instant, the smooth left turn was completely destroyed, and it rolled sideways and fell down. The sideways rolling posture was much worse than what many professional flight demonstration pilots have done.
outstanding!
That's a big plane!
Li Hai basically had no follow-up actions. He continued to pay attention and monitor the RC-135V/W until he saw the aircraft stabilized its attitude at the critical moment and flew stumblingly to the southeast.
"Dong 3 calls, the target has voluntarily evacuated Airspace No. 19, repeat, the target has voluntarily evacuated Airspace No. 19, requesting return, completed." Li Hai called Nanzhi.
Nan Zhi was silent for a full minute.
When Li Hai was feeling anxious, Nanzhi issued a new command, "Dong San, report your fuel balance, over."
In confusion, Li Hai glanced at the fuel gauge and saw that there was still 40 minutes of fuel left, so he immediately reported the truth truthfully.
Nanzhi said, "Don't return yet. In the intersecting airspace of Airspace No. 19 and Airspace No. 16, an iron ore ship reported that it was being followed by a suspected pirate ship. Report the situation immediately after identifying the situation. Over!"
Li Hai was stunned for a moment, knowing that there was still a second half to come.
He answered readily, "Dong San understands, and will rush to the target sea area immediately. I know where it is. It's over."
In other words, he does not need the guidance provided by the Southern Guide.
This is very rare at night.
In fact, in the sea and air, apart from the constellations, there is no reference object. It is the same at night and day, and whether there is ground guidance is crucial for any fighter under any conditions.
It’s just that Nanzhi knew that No. 81103 was a J-8F, which is a second and a half generation fighter that relies more on ground guidance. So after hearing Li Hai’s answer, the commander of Nanzhi was obviously stunned and asked a very rare question.
Less frequently asked questions in land and air communications: “Dong San, you don’t need ground guidance, right? Repeat, do you need ground guidance?”
"Dong three does not require ground guidance, it is over." Li Hai answered firmly.
The commander of the Southern Finger heard clearly now and was deeply surprised and admired at the same time.
Both Le Hai and Nanzhi are very clear that at a distance of 1,600 kilometers, the closest communication relay station to the Forgotten Reef area is the Forever Prosperous Island, which is 1,000 kilometers away.
The distance is long, the communication quality is poor, and confidentiality is relatively poor. In the rapidly changing battlefield situation, Li Hai hopes that he can have more initiative, and Nan Zhi also hopes that the front-line combat units can not be affected by objective factors.
Each other's goals are the same.
Li Hai has long been familiar with the airspace and sea within 500 kilometers of the Forgotten Reef. This familiarity is not only the theoretical familiarity of navigation charts and hydrology, but also the familiarity of practical navigation charts and hydrology. He flies hundreds of hours a month.
The direct effect lies in this.
Even with his eyes closed, he knew where Airspace No. 19 intersected with Airspace No. 16. Of course, during night flights, it was almost the same with his eyes open as with his eyes closed.
The so-called airspace intersecting Airspace No. 19 and Airspace No. 16, that is, the airspace about 50 kilometers southwest of the Forgotten Reef, is relatively small in area, but there is a lot of activity in the airspace and sea area, because the north-south international waterways and air routes all pass there.
Therefore, it is also called a high-incidence sea area.
With 40 minutes of fuel remaining, Li Hai went to the high-risk sea area to perform an emergency mission. It was like he was just along the way, and he did the work as a casualty. However, the meaning of the South Guide seemed to be very clear - Li Hai checked the situation on the scene,
I'll have to figure out what to do next.
When Li Hai turned around, he glanced far away and could no longer see the navigation lights of the RC-135V/W. He hoped that their God would bless them and make them gods as soon as possible.
After silently observing in his heart for 0.3 seconds, Li Hai sped up and flew towards the high-risk sea area.
