Chapter 606 Backfire is coming!

 Shuangsha Island Base.

The early warning aircraft with the mushroom disk above its head slid to the tarmac, and a row of soldiers ran over, loaded with guns and ammunition, and stood guard.

Although a hangar has been built here, it is prepared for fighter jets after all. Big guys like the Air Police-2000 cannot be dragged into the hangar and can only be stored in the open air.

 The cabins were opened, and a group of soldiers in air force uniforms came out, as well as some technicians in work clothes.

"Old Wang, how are you feeling?" A gray-haired old man looked at the person next to him: "Are you still able to bear the food? You don't have to travel back and forth, just stay in the 14th hospital."

"Old Lin, how can I rest assured? Although this early warning aircraft has been tested for several months, it has not been tested in actual combat after all. No one knows what accidents may be encountered. As the chief designer of the early warning aircraft, Master, I have to be at the scene. But you, why did you come with me?"

"Of course I'm coming. Our Air Force will take off for combat at any time." Mr. Lin said: "I have to come in advance to familiarize myself with the environment. The Navy only has a few J-15s and no decent third-generation aircraft. At the critical moment, , we still need our Air Force to take action, I think there is no problem in stationing an aviation regiment of Su-27s at this base."

The Shuangsha Island base was the first to be reclaimed from the sea. Later, various infrastructure constructions were carried out, and the settings became more and more complete. However, in order to avoid irritating neighboring countries, no large-scale fighter jets were deployed here. Moreover, due to the navy's Funds are limited, so the naval aviation force is still dominated by the J-7, J-8 and Flying Leopards. The real third-generation fighter jets are just the J-15s on aircraft carriers. If there is a war, the Air Force's fighters will still have to take the lead.

 Mr. Lin obviously has a purpose. If the Su-27s of an aviation regiment are really transferred here, they will probably not be evacuated in the future, and this base will be reserved for the air force.

The roar was still ringing in the sky, and two escorting Su-27 fighter planes landed. Since the Air Force's early warning aircraft were to be requisitioned, the **** aircraft were of course also sent by the Air Force.

“Everyone, please come to the restaurant of the base for a meal. We have received orders to entertain you according to pilot standards.” The commander of the base guard force came up to him.

"Pilot standards? Okay, what good food do you have here?" Mr. Lin asked with a smile.

“The most indispensable thing here is seafood. A large amount of seafood is farmed in Shuangsha Island Fishery Tourism Village. Although it is farmed, it just soaks in the sea water and tastes the same as wild food. You can have a good time.”

Although the scenery is nice, after all, it is on the sea and the humidity is too high, so it is impossible for soldiers from the land to be stationed on the island for a long time. The officers and soldiers currently stationed here are the newly mobilized batch at the beginning of the year. The commander It was Zhao Heping, a soldier who went to the island twice.

When he was stationed on the island before, there were no tasks. It was like entering a storyless kingdom. Every day was a repeat of the previous day. How could he not be excited when a task suddenly came this time?

 “Okay, let’s go eat seafood!” Mr. Lin waved his hand.

Night slowly enveloped the sea, and the island gradually fell into sleep. I don’t know when the rumbling sound sounded again.

Zhao Heping stood on the tarmac, looking at the outline of the plane appearing in the darkness, and watching the plane land on the center line of the runway with the runway lights on. When he saw the plane clearly, he was so surprised that his eyes almost fell off.

 “This shouldn’t be Todoroki!”

The superiors have issued instructions, and a large number of aircraft groups will be stationed. In addition to early warning aircraft, there will also be bomber units, and they will be asked to prepare the largest hangar.

Although I didn’t say anything, there are only a few models in China, and it needs the largest hangar, so it must be the H-6!

Who would have thought that what came down looked nothing like Hongliu!

Huge rectangular air intake, unfolded wings, and huge tail. This big guy is... Tu-22M?

I heard that in recent years, China has been in contact with Lao Maozi to purchase Lao Maozi's advanced Tu-22M supersonic bomber. It seems that this transaction has already been carried out!

“Everyone should pay attention to the discipline of confidentiality. No matter what plane comes to the base, pretend not to know, let alone go out and talk nonsense!”

“Yes.” The soldiers next to him quickly replied. Their eyes were still looking at the huge aircraft. Can it be stuffed into the hangar?

The second and third planes landed one after another. The first plane had already arrived at the hangar door with the help of a tractor. The wings of this plane were slowly turning backwards, greatly reducing its wingspan!

 The soldiers guarding the hangar were extremely shocked.

 The three H-6Js slid into the hangar one after another, and the base returned to calm.

Last year, we showed off our muscles by using ballistic missiles to hit moving targets at sea. If we show off our muscles again this year, it will have to be completely different! This time, relying on absolute strength, even without using a big weapon, it can still intimidate the opponent.

This night, many people are bound to have sleepless nights.

"It's too dangerous to continue sailing. I think we should stay on the high seas." Rupert finally couldn't help but speak: "With the help of that early warning aircraft, every move we make will be seen by the other party. "

Brown's face was also ugly: "Then how do we achieve the goal of coming here? If our surface formation cannot enter, how about sending a nuclear submarine over?"

Rupert was even more shocked and broke into a cold sweat: "Mr. Brown, if our surface ships cannot enter that sea area, it will be even more dangerous to send a nuclear submarine there!"

 Are you kidding me, do you think this is a crying country?

The Orientals have powerful anti-submarine capabilities. Almost every warship carries anti-submarine helicopters and advanced towed sonar. If they send a submarine there, they are seeking death. Moreover, the sea area is full of reefs. Conventional submarines are likely to hit bottom, but nuclear submarines are even more difficult.

 No, absolutely not!

"Then we just hang out outside? No, absolutely not!" Brown has a strong self-esteem in his heart and will never tolerate staying here and hanging out. How will the outside world publicize it? Was our side scared away by the Eastern aircraft carrier formation?

 “Sail as planned!” Brown finally made a decision.

Rupert has no choice. If they keep sailing, they will officially enter the southern seas by day tomorrow. At least they will be safe this night. As for tomorrow, they can just leave it to fate.

 Rupert was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night.

 At night, the wind and waves were a bit strong, and the 20,000-ton aircraft carrier was also swaying from side to side. Listening to the sound of waves lapping against the ship's side, questions kept flashing in Rupert's mind.

  Why does our country not have a powerful aircraft carrier? Why are the maritime powers of Easterners getting stronger and stronger?

Finally, in the early morning, Rupert fell asleep in a daze. Therefore, he did not experience the next scene. He could only hear about it from his subordinates. Even if he heard about it, it was enough to make him sad. He was frightened.

The person on duty on the island was First Mate Drake. He was also in a tired state and was yawning constantly.

The sky in the east began to turn pale, it was a new day, and today, they were about to enter the predetermined sea area, and various conflicts may occur.

In order to cope with possible situations that may arise next, most of the personnel on the warship are resting and recuperating. Drake is also looking forward to rushing to the shift handover time. He glanced at the navigation clock. He has been up for five hours and is still Gotta stay up for another hour.

 Drake stood up from his seat and planned to go to the back to get a cup of coffee to refresh himself.

 The layout of ship bridges in different countries is different. There are seats everywhere on their bridge, not because of their poor physical fitness, but because of their different duty methods. The duty watch system left over from the ancient tradition is a two-shift system, which means that they do 6 There are 6 hours of rest every hour, and two breaks during the working day.

Most countries in the world use a three-shift system, with three shifts of duty and rest a day, that is, 4 hours of work and 4 hours of rest. There is even a more frequent four-shift system, which means there are 4 shifts of duty and rest a day, that is, 3 hours of work and 3 hours of rest.

There are only three hours of shifts every time, and there is no problem standing on the boat, but if it takes six hours, it will be too tiring to stand.

Just as Drake was walking back, he heard a rumbling sound from the sea in the distance, like thunder.

So, out of curiosity, he came to the far left end of the ship island. From the porthole here, he had the best view and could see everything around him.

The deck was empty, and there were no aircraft in the take-off and landing area. There were only a few Sea Harriers and two Sea King helicopters docked in the parking areas in front and behind the island.

 The roar in the distance is getting closer and closer.

How is this going?

On a Type 42 destroyer at the rear of the formation, the lookout post was performing his duties conscientiously. Therefore, he was the first person in the formation to visually discover the incoming aircraft group. When he heard the roar, he immediately He heightened his vigilance, and in the gray sky, he saw three targets flying towards him at high speed!

what is that?

He was certain that it was definitely not a Sea Harrier. The Sea Harrier fighter jets did not fly in such a large formation. From the sound of the noise, they sounded like their Victory bombers, the oldest bombers from the 1960s and 1970s.

Getting closer, getting closer, he finally saw the outline of the incoming fighter plane. When he saw the huge rectangular air intake clearly, he immediately shouted: "Attention, three MiG-25s!"

You can’t blame him for his long hair and short knowledge. After all, the MiG-25 and the Tu-22M are so similar. Although there is a big difference in body shape, if you look at them from a distance and don’t know the exact distance, you can’t tell them apart based on their body size.

 At this time, he felt a little confused.

  MiG-25, where did the MiG-25 come from?

This kind of aircraft was once all-powerful and made the West tremble. It was not until Belenko defected that the West learned that this dual-triple fighter was made of stainless steel and was no longer afraid of it. However, this also opened the door for the MiG-25 Green light, you can finally export and earn foreign exchange!

 Multiple countries have purchased the MiG-25. However, in the current sea area, no country uses this kind of fighter!

 And this kind of fighter jet cannot take off and land from an aircraft carrier, so where did it fly from?

At this time, the lookout post was surprised, but he still quickly informed the entire fleet of his discovery.

 MiG-25, three MiG-25s are flying over!

 The siren echoed on the warship, but it was meaningless!

In this field of vision, the distance at which the aircraft could be clearly seen was only a few kilometers away. Just as the lookout post quickly reported after visual discovery, the three MiG-25s had already flown above their heads!

 “Attention, pass at full speed!”

The formation commander flying from the sky shouted loudly.

 As he shouted, the three planes turned on their afterburners.

  The engine at the tail burned rapidly, hot flames shot out from the tail nozzle, and the huge bomber accelerated rapidly!

The wings on both sides swept back quickly, looking so spectacular that the lookout was dumbfounded.

 Drake was stunned. He looked at the wings of the three planes turning in surprise, and he roared amidst the sound of the air defense siren.

“Damn, this is not a MiG-25, this is a Tu-22M! What does Da Mao want to do?”

Of course he knew that Da Mao's naval force was stationed at the Cam Ranh Bay base in the nearby Monkey Kingdom. Although he had never heard of Da Mao deploying Tu-22M bombers there, but now that he saw such an aircraft, there was no difference. It is possible that he must have flown over from Cam Ranh Bay!

 Damn Da Mao!

In the past era of the Red Empire, Lao Maozi was constantly expanding. After all, for any empire, if it stopped expanding, it would mean decline. In the Pacific, Lao Maozi was also aggressive, not only with dual aircraft carriers The fleet also came to the Cam Ranh Bay base from Monkey.

It is a pity that without a strong economic foundation, it is impossible to support a strong national defense. The collapse of the Red Empire makes people extremely sad.

After the collapse of the Red Empire, Da Mao, who inherited the mantle, was still struggling to support himself and wanted to restore his former glory. However, their power was getting weaker and weaker. By the end of the two thousand years, they could no longer afford the rent of Cam Ranh Bay. , and could only withdraw in despair.

 Now, we are still at the stage where a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

 Drake subconsciously thought it was Da Mao's bombers and Da Mao's provocation!

As he roared, his eardrums began to sting, and he made a painful sound. With anger in his eyes, he looked at the three hateful bombers. At this time, white cones appeared on the noses of those bombers. , of course he knew that it was the sound barrier cloud that the aircraft needed to break when it entered supersonic speed.

 Bang, bang, bang!

The sonic boom sounded and hit the aircraft carrier firmly. The steel aircraft carrier vibrated like a bell, and it was unknown how many people were completely awakened.

 “Damn, what’s going on?” Brown woke up from his sweet dream. First there was an alarm, then a terrible sonic boom. He was made very uncomfortable and couldn’t help cursing.

 Rupert sat up suddenly and ran to the bridge. He had already had a premonition of what had happened. However, he still failed to catch up.

Drake covered his ears in pain and looked at the sky with angry eyes. Three huge Tu-22Ms flew past him, with exaggerated missiles hanging under the wings, and the red five-pointed stars and eights on the wings. The sign of One is so clear.

 Isn’t it Da Mao’s plane?

 “Quick, quick, take off the Sea Harrier immediately!”

At this time, someone on the bridge was already shouting.

It's so embarrassing. They were unprepared and were passed over by three bombers. What does this mean? If during the war, their aircraft carrier formation had been sunk by the opponent, and now the opponent flew by like this just to show off their force, it would be like a big mouth, slapped hard in their face. superior.

 Take off, take off immediately!

 Actually, taking off is meaningless.

If they could detect the opponent before it flew in, the Sea Harrier might be able to intercept it, but now, they have flown over, and they are passing at supersonic speed! Even if they take off the Sea Harrier, can they catch up?

When the Harrier fighter first appeared, it was an out-and-out subsonic fighter with a maximum speed of only Mach 0.95. Moreover, the designers did not consider supersonic flight capabilities at all, and its engine did not even have afterburner. Combustion chamber!

Until the later stage, the "Pegasus" 11-03PCB version adopted external afterburner, and the full afterburner thrust could reach 12009daN. This engine pushed the Harrier fighter into the ranks of supersonic fighters, and according to the development idea, the PCB can eventually provide a thrust of 17792daN. However, this engine has never been put into service. Even if it can push the Harrier to supersonic speed, the fuel consumption will be reduced. It's not something it can bear.

Later, the Pegasus engine without afterburner could also output a thrust of 12454 daN, which barely allowed the Sea Harrier to fly at supersonic speeds. Even so, the acceleration process was slow and weak, and it was definitely unable to compete with the Tu-22M in speed. . Before they could take off, the Tu-22M had already disappeared from their sight!

On the deck, the white vests were busy. They operated a small tractor and planned to drag the Sea Harrier from the parking position to the ski jump take-off position. At this time, the pilot on duty was also running out of the ship island in a hurry.

At this time, it was less than two minutes before the three bombers flew over the sky, which is enough to show that they are well-trained. This is the heritage of the old empire!

However, the roar of the plane came again in the distance. They stopped what they were doing and turned their heads in the direction of the sound. Three bright spots appeared on the sea. Under the morning sun, those three bright spots reflected With a layer of golden light, it looks very dazzling.

 Three more planes came?

“Damn it, where is our radar? Hasn’t our radar found it all this time?” Drake shouted in great depression.

“The report states that they are flying at ultra-low altitude and emitting a certain amount of electromagnetic interference. Our radar can only detect such aircraft at close range.”

At the same time as the radar operator reported, three fighter planes roared over again. The people on the deck could see it clearly. Someone murmured: "Su-33, it is a heavy fighter!"

The wing body is fused, the air intake is in the belly, and the two engines are directly poked into the fuselage. Just look at this appearance and you will know that it is the Su-27 series. Look at the small canards protruding from the side wings to tell the difference. Find out what model it is.

"It's not the Su-33, it's the J-15! Damn it, we were sneak attacked by the Easterners!" the pilot of the Sea Harrier fighter said angrily.

At this time, three J-15s had flown above their heads. They could clearly see that missiles were mounted on each pylon under the wings. This was to show off! Such a J-15 can carry as many missiles as three or four Sea Harriers. These three J-15s can kill the entire Sea Harrier on their aircraft carrier!

 Are you still flying?

 Flying up is looking for abuse!

 The beautiful J-15 flew by, leaving only a huge shock. Everyone in the formation was stunned.

 They came here to show off their power, to show off the strength of their formation, but what happened?

They have been taught a lesson. Their formation is simply not as good as that of the Easterners. In fact, the two batches of planes that just arrived were able to send their formation into the bottom of the sea!

 The roar of the engine has disappeared, but everyone present felt a huge loss in their hearts.

When Rupert rushed to the bridge, Brown was already standing there. He was watching the Sea Harrier take off on the deck, not knowing what he was feeling inside.

“The Orientals did not know how they obtained the Tu-22M bomber. This bomber was used to deal with the US Navy’s aircraft carrier formations.” Drake introduced it to him.

When he heard about this type of aircraft, Rupert's face turned pale instantly. The huge sonic boom in the cabin made his chest hurt, and his ears were rumbling. It has not been relieved yet, and his mind was filled with pain. The rumbling started again.

In the era of the Red Empire, the maritime power was not as strong as that of the United States, so they had to find ways to make up for this shortcoming. They invented a series of plans, including underwater nuclear submarines, surface fleets, air bombers, and a large number of anti-ship missiles launched together, or If you don’t fight, fight to death!

After the collapse of the Red Empire, these forces gradually weakened, and a large number of bombers were mothballed and probably would never see the light of day again. I really didn’t expect that the Easterners would actually obtain this kind of bombing.

 Some time ago, I heard that Dongfangfang and Lao Maozi were negotiating to introduce this type of bomber. Who would have thought that the other party would move so quickly!

"Your Majesty Commander, when the other side has such a powerful strike force, it is better not to move forward for the time being." Rupert began to suggest to Brown.

Brown continued to look at the deck in trance, and after a few minutes, he finally said quietly: "We also need a more powerful aircraft carrier! We need a large aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 60,000 tons, and we also need a professional air defense ship similar to the Aegis system. We can't No more waiting!”

Although he was arrogant and arrogant, he was also measured. He anticipated many emergencies, but he did not expect that the opponent would be equipped with advanced supersonic bombers, and he did not know how many of them they would have.

Now that they have suffered a loss, they have no other choice but to endure it for the time being.

However, it would be too shameful to leave in despair. Now, of course, they have to stay here and wait for the opportunity!
