"There are so many targets on the radar...there are so many." In the fighter escort formation, Sun Rui's wingman looked at the enemy aircraft on his radar screen and said with some surprise.
The United Fleet has 10 aircraft carriers and can fly about twenty aircraft at a time. Such a huge fleet looks like a swarm on radar.
On another Phantom fighter jet, the pilot also saw the fighter jets patrolling the United Fleet on the radar. It was indeed very spectacular. He joined the chat and said: "I don't know if you have stoked a hornet's nest... This is at least
There are 30 planes!”
Sun Rui did not feel that these enemy planes posed any threat to him. Their tactics had undergone fundamental changes. The two sides did not need to contact each other at all, and the outcome was already decided.
According to the Tang Empire's sea attack tactics, the Datang Empire's air attack aircraft formations would launch attacks outside the enemy's air defense warning circle, and the escort fighters did not need to participate in the battle at all.
The main mission of these escort fighters is actually to suppress and expel the few enemy aircraft that accidentally break into the attack airspace.
To put it bluntly, the fighter jets of the Tang Empire are the escorts that guard the attack aircraft formation. If the enemy cannot come, they do not need to take the initiative to attack.
On the other side, within the formation of attack aircraft that had entered the optimal missile range, the commander issued an attack order: "All attention! All attention! The formation is locking the enemy warship! Pay attention to the formation!"
The Harpoon anti-ship missile they carry is actually average in power, and its flight speed is only subsonic, but it is the most advanced anti-ship missile that can be carried by attack aircraft.
It is equipped with a 221 kilogram warhead. Because it is an armor-piercing projectile, the so-called penetration power is still very amazing. However, compared with the Soviet anti-ship missiles equipped on the surface ships of the Tang Empire, its power is indeed a little smaller.
Despite this, it is indeed a bit too cruel to use it to deal with those battleships that were in the technical state of World War II.
"The attack aircraft force is dropping bombs, please take cover!" Sun Rui, as the commander of the fighter force, reminded all fighter pilots on the radio channel.
A pilot made a playful joke, flying a fighter jet to maintain altitude and using radar to monitor the enemy fighter groups flying randomly in the distance: "What are you covering? We are at least 50 kilometers away from the enemy aircraft formation! They don't even know we are coming.
.”
In the attack group, a pilot said to the fighter pilot: "The Prowler is implementing electronic jamming... There is a snowflake on the opponent's radar. Believe me, they are no different from blind men."
What he said is indeed correct. Two Prowlers are covering nearby. With these two electronic warfare aircraft, the opponent is almost a deaf and a mute. In this state, maintaining the fleet formation will test the commander's ability.
, let alone difficult tasks such as counterattack.
"Intruder 21 launches Harpoon anti-ship missiles!" On the radio channel, the first Intruder attack aircraft launched an attack. This type of attack aircraft is very fat. The pilots can sit side by side and can carry several Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
, a large amount and a full tube.
Another Intruder attack aircraft also started dropping bombs: "Intruder No. 23 launches Harpoon anti-ship missiles!"
"Intruder 24 launched Harpoon anti-ship missiles!" Immediately afterwards, the third Intruder attack aircraft also launched Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
Watching the anti-ship missiles ignite one by one, they detach from the wings and fly rapidly into the distance. The whole scene is very spectacular.
In the sky, white tracks gradually disappeared into the distance. Everyone knew that an attack had actually begun.
In the radio channel, the driver of the intruder said excitedly: "This is even more exaggerated than a drill. In the drill, at least the enemy will launch a counterattack, but in reality they don't even know where we are fighting."
Soon, because he was too relaxed, a pilot turned on the intercom and started chatting: "Isn't that good? Let's sink these fools quickly, and then return to Nanshan Port early for a vacation?"
"Are you sure it's Nanshan Port? I think it's better to go to Linshui." The third pilot put forward his valuable opinions, as if he had the final say where the fleet should go.
The first pilot who opened the microphone smirked and took the topic in a less serious direction: "Everyone knows that it is better to go to Linshui. It is much better than Nanshan Port. I like the girls there, they are warm and generous.
.”
Soon the group of LSPs all joined the topic and began to express their opinions: "No matter where the girls are, they will be enthusiastic and generous when they see your allowance."
"Hahahaha!" Then more pilots laughed, and the channel was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Immediately afterwards, a serious voice suddenly appeared: "I have to remind you that this is the combat command channel."
"I'm sorry, sir." The pilot who was the first to chat immediately knew that he had poked someone, and he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment to apologize.
The pilots who were chatting along also reviewed their idiotic behavior: "Sorry, boss."
After a short wait, the built-in radar seekers of all the first batch of launched anti-ship missiles started working. Now they no longer need the launch platform to provide radar guidance.
On the co-pilot, the pilot used the radar to lock the target again and reported the flight status of the anti-ship missile at the same time: "The anti-ship missile has entered the autonomous radar guidance stage."
Another pilot also said: "Our mission is accomplished! The missile flies autonomously and we can launch another attack."
Soon, the second round of attacks began. A pilot confirmed on the channel that he had launched the second batch of anti-ship missiles: "The first batch of anti-ship missiles entered the autonomous radar guidance stage and launched the second batch of anti-ship missiles! Invasion
The missile was launched on the 21st.”
"Radar guidance completed, the second batch of anti-ship missiles are launched!" In the channel, more pilots reported that they had launched missiles.
One missile after another flew towards the enemy in the distance again, and at this moment, their enemies didn't even know that they were getting beaten.
"All missiles have been launched! Maintain radar guidance..." The commander repeated various operations in the quiet channel. In the slightly cramped cockpit of the attack aircraft, which was full of equipment switches and huge radar screens, the pilots were
Launch the most ferocious attack on their invisible enemy.
Bernard, who was far away on the bridge of the Nanshan 01 aircraft carrier, had already prepared a second generous gift for his opponent at this moment: "Confirm the position of the second batch of attack aircraft, order them to enter the attack position, and launch counterattacks."
