The first decision Bai Wuchang made was to run and climb to a high altitude to avoid the pursuit of the F16. There was an obvious gap between the second-generation fighter jets and the third-generation fighter jets. Fortunately, the Iraqi pilot was not proficient in mastering the F16, so Bai Wuchang let Bai Wuchang Got a chance to breathe.
As for aerial combat, Bai Wuchang has no intention of fighting to death. He is a first-rate ace pilot, and he will never engage in combat with second-generation or third-generation fighters. This is completely seeking death.
If the Iraqi pilot was flying an early model like the F16ab, he would probably have some ideas, but the chance of winning is not high. But the aircraft behind him must be an F16c in terms of speed and technical parameters following him. Although this The model is considered low-end among the US military's F16 fighter series, but it is much better than the J-7M he drove.
The only lucky thing may be that the driver behind him is an Iraqi, but even if he is an Iraqi, he can only flee in a hurry. After all, the only thing he can use is a machine gun, not even an air-to-air missile, and the Iraqi behind him seems to be It comes fully loaded.
He can't run to the north, he can only go around these two sides. If he doesn't leave the Iraqi airspace, he will die if he runs to Iran. Going north will definitely be a dead end. Baghdad International Airport is an American air force base, and there are cars parked inside. There are dozens of F16s, and they are all US military pilots.
As the radar warning system sounded the alarm, Bai Wuchang knew that he was locked. When Canglong slowly told him that two air-to-air missiles were captured on the radar, Bai Wuchang knew that his dangerous time had come. Now he was connected to the infrared There is no bait.
He could only make various tactical moves in the air. Seeing the two missiles getting closer and closer, Bai Wuchang's heartbeat accelerated. The radar on the plane showed two red dots constantly approaching his fuselage. If he was hit, The result would definitely be a plane crash, and everyone would be killed. The replacement pilot would definitely eject immediately and be locked by two missiles. There is no infrared decoy, and there is basically no way to survive.
However, Bai Wuchang did the opposite. He was not prepared to eject. He seemed to be muttering something silently. When the two missiles were only about a few hundred meters away from the fuselage, Bai Wuchang controlled the aircraft and performed a tactical roll. Then the J-7m began to make a spiral motion in the air.
The rolling action will consume part of the aircraft's kinetic energy and slow down the speed. Generally, in a dogfight, if the speed is faster than the enemy aircraft and is about to miss the enemy aircraft, the pilot will try to use the rolling action to slow down the speed to maintain a good position. Attack position, but no one knows that the rolling action can also avoid missiles.
Of course, there must be two missiles chasing at the same time, because most missiles are infrared tracking, so once locked, they will fly wherever they fly and track them. The rolling action takes advantage of the missile's tracking performance, which is the same as a magnet. The two missiles are so fierce that they want to stick together, but the corresponding magnetic principle will also make the missiles follow the movement of the aircraft. When the aircraft rolls, the missiles will also follow the regular rolls.
The distance between the two missiles will get closer and closer, and they will spirally interfere with each other and get closer and closer to the fuselage. When the distance is only a few hundred meters, the shell of the missile will automatically fall off, and the speed will increase instantly, delivering a fatal blow.
Rolling will undoubtedly bring the distance between the aircraft and the missile closer and closer, but at the critical moment, Bai Wuchang suddenly pressed a button on the aircraft, and then made another tactical action, diving.
Just the opposite of climbing, dive is the process of converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy (it’s taught in junior high school physics, if you don’t understand it, read it out). The greater the angle between the tail and the ground during dive, so it will accelerate instantly and the flight altitude will decrease. Now, the aircraft is more flexible.
This is usually used to attack low-flying fighter planes, but Bai Wuchang used it to avoid missiles, but it was undoubtedly very effective. The moment he dived, something dark fell off the plane, and the two The tracking missile seemed to have lost its target and moved ahead, but soon they caught the target again, which was the dark thing on the plane.
With a loud "bang", Bai Wuchang narrowly avoided two missiles. The thing he just dropped was the J-7m's auxiliary fuel tank. If there were no auxiliary fuel tanks, it is estimated that the two missiles would continue to follow. That's when it was dead.
But he was not relieved, because the F16 usually carries six missiles, four air-to-air missiles, and two air-to-surface missiles.
So now he still needs to dodge two missiles, and at this moment, Canglong's very unpleasant voice came: "Not bad, it seems you can handle it."
"Fart." Bai Wuchang cursed, "I lost an auxiliary fuel tank, do you still want me to lose the main mailbox too?"
"Don't make trouble." Canglong said with a smile, "The missiles are coming again."
"Damn it." Bai Wuchang had the urge to strangle Canglong to death.
After adjusting the angle of the plane to change the dive action, he started to climb again. This time he was not escaping. Instead, he placed the lever at about 40 degrees, suddenly put the throttle at 0, and then continued to pull the lever to adjust the angle between the aircraft and the ground. After reaching 120 degrees and maintaining it, something wonderful happened. The aircraft actually stopped in the air. It was like a high-speed sports car that suddenly braked.
After three seconds of stillness, the fuselage suddenly entered a stall state and the nose of the aircraft plummeted. But at this moment, Bai Wuchang turned on the afterburner to restore speed, but at this time he had completely turned in another direction. The missile was originally chasing him. , but now it has turned into heading towards the missile.
It looked like he did a somersault in the air, turned around at an incredible angle, and hit the missile. But as he got closer and closer to the missile, Bai Wuchang opened his cannon and fired a fierce burst of fire at the missile. Bai Wuchang immediately made the same somersault as before, turned around again, reached maximum speed, and went in the opposite direction.
The cannon hit the missile, followed by a violent explosion. However, because the distance was too close, the strong airflow made the fuselage somewhat unstable. Fortunately, Bai Wuchang was well prepared, controlled the aircraft, and After all this, he was out of breath.
He was gambling with his life just now. If there were any mistakes in this, such as the calculation of the speed of the somersault, the calculation of the distance and speed of the missile, and the calculation of his cannon rapid fire, he was already calculating the somersault and U-turn. As long as there was any one of them If he makes a mistake, his action would be tantamount to suicide.
Of course he completed it, completed it perfectly, and did not even cause damage to the aircraft. Of course, this was only possible because the enemy aircraft was still far away from him. If the enemy aircraft was right behind him, doing such an action would be courting death, even if he avoided it. The missile will also be blown up by the cannon of the F16 behind it.
But his actions just now and the time he wasted have already allowed the enemy plane to catch up. With a burst of "beep beep" cannon sounds, Bai Wuchang felt a dangerous and huge threat. The dogfighting design of the F16 is definitely better than that of the J-7M. It was much more powerful. Although Bai Wuchang had solved the missile threat, Bai Wuchang couldn't fight with him anymore.
The action just now caused the fuselage to become violently unstable. If it was engaged in various dogfights, the aircraft would probably disintegrate in the air. After all, this aircraft is too old and it is a second-generation fighter aircraft, so its performance cannot be improved at all.
So he could only run while turning on the radio and asking Canglong for help: "If I lose my auxiliary fuel tank, I will lose power very quickly. If you don't want me to die, you'd better come up with some strategies."
"Do you want me to use the missiles from the base to deal with this F16?" Canglong asked, but refused before he could answer, "But if we use missiles here, don't we tell the Americans that our base is here? I guess In less than two days, the Americans will blow this place to the ground."
"You really want to kill me." Bai Wuchang said coldly.
"I won't kill you to death, but if you hold on for ten minutes, I will have a way to get rid of him after ten minutes." After finishing speaking, Canglong turned off the radio.
Snow Leopard said strangely: "What else can you do?"
"Let's go to the hangar and get the other plane out." Canglong said calmly.
Snow Leopard looked surprised: "You can fly a plane."
"I have studied for a day or two." Canglong finished speaking and walked towards the door. "Now you take command. After killing the F16, I will cooperate with the elite troops to attack the Qatar prison and remove obstacles for them."
Although Xue Bao didn't believe it, looking at Cang Long's serious face, he was obviously not joking. About ten minutes or so, another J-7M also took off. In order to avoid the radar, it could only fly at low altitude, but from the radar, Xue Bao discovered The plane seemed to be shaking.
"Bird No. 2, are you sure you can fly a plane?" Snow Leopard picked up the radio with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine once you get used to it." Cang Long's voice came.
At this time, Bai Wuchang was already feeling exhausted. He wanted to press the ejection button several times, but thinking of Canglong, he did not press it. After all, they had so much firepower in Iraq, and he was still unwilling to give up this until the last moment. An old fighter aircraft.
At this time, he was making various evasive movements in the air. The Iraqi pilot behind him was training his trembling skills as if he was using him as a target. At the same time, Colonel Mike was also watching this scene, on the radar He watched in disbelief as the pilot of the other plane made such amazing moves, avoiding two missiles and blasting two of them with his cannon.
"It would be great if you were an American, but it's a pity." Even Colonel Mike couldn't help but feel in awe, "You are my enemy. If you don't die, it will be a disaster for the U.S. Air Force."
Colonel Mike thought that if the positions of the two pilots were reversed, the battle would probably be resolved in just a few minutes, so he felt regretful.
He picked up the radio and ordered the Iraqi pilot: "Eagle 1, destroy the enemy plane immediately, destroy the enemy plane immediately."
"Eagle One understands." came the Iraqi pilot's broken English reply from the other end of the radio.
Then I saw the F16 speeding up on the radar, while the J-7 speed became slower and slower. The Iraqi pilot on the Eagle 1 had completely locked onto the aircraft.
In Bai Wuchang's cabin, the alarm sounded continuously: "Warning, locked, warning locked."
He was helpless for a while, but in the end he couldn't save the plane. But just when he was about to press the ejection button, a voice suddenly came from the radio: "Bird No. 1, this is Bird No. 2. Are you still alive? If you are alive, just say something. Hold on. A while."
"Damn it, you cheating piece of shit, you really know how to fly a plane." Bai Wuchang's first feeling at that time was not surprise, but nervousness.
"Of course, I said I would be your wingman, not to mention that you are in crisis, how could I not save you." Canglong smiled.
"You have been waiting for death without saving me." Bai Wuchang replied, taking advantage of the situation and making difficult evasive actions to avoid the machine gun fire.
"Asuka No. 2, you return to the base and I will kill him." Canglong said calmly.
"Are you sure?" Bai Wuchang couldn't believe it.
"Get out of here quickly." Canglong replied.
Then Bai Wuchang didn't say anything, and dived down quickly, obviously preparing to avoid radar detection, and the Iraqi plane dived down immediately, and just as it was about to hit Bai Wuchang, Canglong suddenly climbed from a low altitude and arrived. Behind him, the manual guidance expertly locked onto the F16, pressed the launch button without hesitation, and two missiles flew out one after another.
The Iraqi pilot also seemed to have discovered the aircraft. After being threatened, he quickly gave up the pursuit of Bai Wuchang. He seemed to be surprised by the sudden appearance of the J-7m from behind. He evaded it in a panic and continuously released infrared decoys to target the missile. Induced out.
But when he came back to his senses, he found that the plane appeared in front of him like a ghost and was heading towards him. The Iraqi pilot was obviously panicked, but when he was panicked, the Canglong's cannon had already opened fire. Already.
When the bullet hit the F16's fuselage, Canglong swooped down instantly, and then a huge explosion sounded from above.
Colonel Mike stared at the radar screen and was stunned when he saw the disappearing F16 and the other J-7M that appeared strangely. At the base, Snow Leopard looked at the radar screen and just murmured: "Is this guy... Human beings."
