- After takeoff, the excitement of Xu Huansheng and everyone gradually subsided. Compared with the vast sky, no matter how large the aircraft fleet is on the ground, it is just a small dot. The long-distance flight was tiring. In order to avoid the Soviet planes in Herat, the formation needed to detour through the Muslim League-controlled areas in India, then enter the Indian Ocean from Gwadar Port to the west and pass over Muscat.
The total distance is 3250 kilometers and takes ten hours.
After the fleet climbed to 6,500 meters, Xu Huansheng let engines 1 and 4 feather. This is a working method that reduces power and uses the wind to drive the blades to rotate so that the engine does not stall, which can reduce fuel consumption. Then he turned on the autopilot again and handed the aircraft to the co-pilot.
"Captain, here you go, the strong tea you just brewed."
After the navigator tuned the radio to the frequency of the Persian Gulf theater, he handed over the vacuum thermos cup. There were too many tea leaves, which made it taste bitter, but very refreshing.
Because it is a long-distance transition, the bomber will not carry bombs. The smaller the load, the faster it is, but in order to keep pace with the transport aircraft, it must maintain a cruising speed of 330 kilometers per hour.
You can see through the portholes that the entire fleet is like a group of migrating geese. There are 76 Y-9s in formation to the east, with two groups in the middle, 48 Y-10s in the front and 52 H-5s in the rear. H-7 is in the westernmost part of the wild goose formation, with a total of 44 aircraft in two squadrons. The H-5 and Y-10 were somewhat reluctant to fly such a long distance. Fortunately, a few ground crews invented the soft fuel tank technology three years ago. That is, when long-distance transitions are required, a soft fuel tank made of rubber and cowhide is added to the cabin. Each soft fuel tank can hold one ton of gasoline, and because it is plugged into the cabin without affecting wind resistance, one or more can be installed as needed during use.
The H-5 with a soft fuel tank has a transit range of 3,700 kilometers. The Y-10 is a transport aircraft with a wide cabin. With two of them and one ton of dry cargo, it can fly 3,800 kilometers.
The flight formation is not randomly organized, because the west is close to Afghanistan. Therefore, in the event of an enemy aircraft, the H-7 can still rely on 10 machine guns to protect the transport aircraft. Of course, they are only the last line of defense. The two squadrons scattered on the periphery and the 44 twin-engine J-6 fighter jets sent to escort are the main escort.
The J-6, nicknamed the "Double-Headed Jiao", was developed by Shenyang Northern Raytheon Company. It uses two 1937 Kunlun 1937 type 12-cylinder electronically injected water-cooled engines produced in Hanyang, each with a power of 1,500 horsepower. There is a supercharger in the tail boom. The water injection limit output is 1,750 horsepower. The maximum take-off weight is 9.9 tons. The maximum speed is 660 kilometers and the ceiling is 13,400 meters. This engine is also standard equipment for new Y-7 and Air Force fighter jets. According to the actual test analysis of Merlin obtained by the Air Force from secret channels, the Kunlun series is not as fine as others in terms of processing, but is slightly ahead in spark plug and EFI technology, and is basically the same in other aspects.
When talking about the "Double-Headed Jiao", we must mention its designer, the Czech Klos (book friend crossover guest star). This designer who fled to China and settled in China during the European War is an alternative. It is said that he has intermittent madness. Many of his designs are works after his madness. In addition, this person has a very unknown characteristic. Just obsessed with all things that save fuel!
As early as 1933, when the H-5 was finalized, the Air Force found that there was a lack of fighter jets that could accompany the escort. At that time, the radius of the Snake fighter was only 330 kilometers, so the concept of a twin-engine long-range air control fighter was proposed. As one of the leading designers of Raytheon Company. Cross, a fuel-saving maniac, took the initiative to take over the business. After two and a half years of hard work, he came up with the prototype of the "double-headed dragon".
In appearance, the "double-headed dragon" looks very much like the American P38 fighter jet. It is the product of the Air Force's pursuit of long range. It uses more flexible flaps and has slightly stronger firepower than the P38. Installed 2 25mm machine guns and 4 12.7mm machine guns. The "Fuel Saving Maniac" also gave full play to its ability to tap potential, making the double-headed dragon's combat radius as high as 1,300 kilometers and its maximum range of 3,930 kilometers. When two 500-kg auxiliary fuel tanks are mounted, the maximum transition range reaches an astonishing 4,400 kilometers.
Looking at the current models of fighter jets in the Republic of China and even around the world, the only one that can defeat the double-headed dragon in terms of range is Cross's other masterpiece, the Raytheon Company's J-8 "Tianquan" fighter with a range of up to 4,000 kilometers, which is undergoing its final test flight. Of course, each type of aircraft has its own disadvantages. If asked about the biggest failure of the "Double-Headed Dragon", it is that there is only one pilot in the ultra-long range. Even if an autopilot is installed, the Double-Headed Dragon is all pilots. nightmare.
But the "fuel-saving madman" came up with a more alternative method. Inspired by his Chinese wife wearing diapers for her children, he invented the first Air Force adult diaper.
"Captain, how do you think that lunatic came up with this idea? Flying a plane with a diaper in his hand, I heard that they almost beat up Cross." The bombardier pointed at the double-headed dragon and gloated, not noticing that the corners of his own captain's eyes were twitching. .
After the double-headed dragon was finalized, the Air Force placed the first batch of orders for a total of 1,180 aircraft for 10 brigades. At that time, Xu Huansheng, who wanted to fly a fighter jet, took the initiative to apply to fly after seeing the data of this fighter jet.??During long-distance transfer training, I suddenly got a stomachache in the middle of the flight. After getting off the plane, I felt so miserable that I felt shameless and dejectedly applied to be transferred back to the bomber unit.
"Captain! Look."
When Xu Huansheng couldn't bear to look back, the four "Double-Headed Jiao" aircraft on the westernmost periphery that had already abandoned their auxiliary fuel tanks suddenly dived downwards. Looking in the direction of their dive, several black spots were approaching quickly. "British plane?" Xu Huansheng looked at his watch. He had been flying for more than five hours. Judging from the distance, the formation's position should be near Gwadar Port. The British army has aircraft in Gwadar and Muscat across the strait, so before setting off, he had thought that he would encounter a British Air Force patrol plane.
If it is a British plane, there is no need to be nervous, because Britain now hopes most for a war between China and the Soviet Union, so it has agreed to open the airspace in the areas controlled by the Muslim League, but his idea was quickly shattered by the navigator's report.
"bf109! There are 2 bf109s and 6 i16s!"
¡°Damn it, why is bf109 here?!¡± Xu Huansheng was startled. According to previous intelligence, the Soviet army already controls Tarom and Bandar Abbas Port, so the only interception point should be near the Strait of Hormuz. Therefore, when making the plan, we deliberately chose Gwadar Port, which is 650 kilometers away, so that the bf109 cannot reach it even if it is equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks. And for double insurance, the two aircraft carriers of the 22nd Fleet have also been patrolling the waters off Muscat.
"The second, third, and sixth squads go up and kill them! Cancel the autopilot. The remaining planes go east, take Besni to the sea. Call the 22nd fleet, encounter enemy plane interception, coordinates 122 kilometers north of Gwadar, 2 BF109, 6 i16s. Attention all combat formations! Be sure to ensure the safety of the transport aircraft!" Xu Huansheng rushed into the cabin without any time to think, turned off the autopilot, and led the fleet to quickly deflect to the left.
When the Soviet fighter jets with red stars on them saw the fleet and wanted to run away, they threw away their auxiliary fuel tanks and rushed over at full speed. I found out later. The Soviet army had guessed that the National Defense Forces would reinforce Saudi Arabia through the air, so it deliberately deployed 6 BF109s and 24 i16s to the Chabahar Port near the Indian border. And this Soviet team was also lucky. They ran into a group of planes as soon as they arrived. Of course, this is also because piston fighters have few restrictions. As long as they have a piece of flat land and enough fuel and ammunition, a small field airport can be quickly established. Moreover, after the experience in Afghanistan, the Soviet army also learned from the National Defense Forces' method of using external auxiliary fuel tanks to increase the range.
The huge fleet of aircraft made the Soviet pilots' eyes bloodshot, especially when they saw that there were no escort fighters, they jumped up and down excitedly. As for the "two-headed dragon", it appears for the first time. And because of its large size, it is regarded as a small transport aircraft.
But the problem is, the double-headed dragon is not a transport aircraft! At the beginning of the design, Cross, a madman, not only tried his best to increase the range. It was also equipped with air combat flaps. Although it is not as good as the latest fighter jets, it is much better than the i16 and the early models of Huashe.
?? 12 "Double-Headed Jiao" aircraft from three squadrons rushed forward in groups of two and two, although the pilots were all participating in the battle for the first time. However, they had all received intensive training from Afghan veteran pilots before, so they immediately assigned 8 aircraft to focus on dealing with the most threatening bf109.
The performance of bf109 in the Spanish Civil War surprised all countries. After the Soviets got it, they felt like a treasure! Have they ever seen such an advanced fighter jet? All-metal structure, airborne radio, excellent medium and low altitude hovering capabilities, moderate firepower (the version sold to the Soviet Union is a 4-piece 7.62 machine gun version). Even the shortcomings of short range have been beautified into being very suitable for bayonet fights in the air. Therefore, the Soviet Union immediately mobilized the best pilots in the country to fly these aircraft, and also tried to imitate them. However, because the Mercedes db engine was too well made, it was not possible to produce it under the rough industrial model.
However, Germany¡¯s sale of BF109 to the Soviet Union still aroused great vigilance of the Chinese Air Force. After Jin Bihui obtained one through the transaction, he immediately arranged for the best test pilots to conduct testing. Its speed, hovering and fighting capabilities once worried the top brass of the Air Force. Finally, after competing with various types of domestic aircraft, the Air Force also required pilots to avoid low-altitude fights with them as much as possible.
Therefore, the attacking "double-headed dragon" abandoned the idea of ??fighting and took advantage of the height difference to quickly dive to seize the upper hand.
The Soviet pilots who can fly the BF109 are also the most experienced, and Second Lieutenant Bebelayev is one of them. He had shot down two snakes in Afghanistan, so when he saw the two-headed dragon approaching him, he immediately shouted that it was bad. "This is not a small transport plane, it is a fighter jet!" Seeing the clues, he immediately turned around and notified his partners to avoid it together. But he forgot that, except for another bf109, the six i16s had no radio stations at all.
When the two bf109s used their excellent hovering ability to evade, the i16 behind them was in bad luck. They were cumbersome with extremely poor maneuverability, and they couldn't escape after being bitten by the four "double-headed dragons" using their diving speed. The terrifying fire net composed of 8 25mm cannons and 16 12.7mm machine guns hit three aircraft at once, and one of them even had its wing broken by the cannon.
"It is indeed a warFighter! "Second Lieutenant Bebelayev sighed, without thinking too much, he held the control stick tightly and stared at the double-headed dragon with the national flag painted on the fuselage that rushed over.
With excellent German craftsmanship and rough Slavic operating style, the BF109 in the hands of Second Lieutenant Bebelayev was not much worse than the German ace pilot. He quickly used his hovering ability to bite the "double-headed dragon" and shoot out a string of bullets. The sound of strafing made Lieutenant Bebelayev's adrenaline surge sharply, and he finally shot down one.
But when he was just about to find his next target, something shocking happened! I saw that after the hit double-headed dragon fuselage flashed several fire points, it didn't even emit smoke, but suddenly accelerated forward, more nimble than a bouncing prairie dog.
"What's going on?!" Lieutenant Bebelayev went crazy. He bets that at least 20 bullets hit the opponent just now. Even if the fuel tank is half empty when you fly here, it won't catch fire, but at least give him some reaction! After being shot, he actually ran faster than himself! Is this a fighter jet or an aerial tank?
How did he know that while ensuring the range, Crazy Cross also worked with Chinese designers to strengthen the body structure and cover it with 1.5 tons of armor! The in-cylinder water injection and supercharging device ensure that the maximum output can reach 660 kilometers. The BF109b sold by Germany to the Soviet Union is nothing more than the use of four Soviet-made machine guns, but the engine only has 970 horsepower and a maximum speed of 610 kilometers, so when When Lieutenant Bebelayev thought about it and wanted to pursue it, the double-headed dragon had already escaped the range of the machine gun.
Second Lieutenant Bebelayev had no choice but to let go of the double-headed dragon first. Just as he was about to look at his wingman's position, another double-headed monster rushed over from the side. To be honest, no matter how good the data of the double-headed dragon is, it is difficult to catch the low-altitude BF109, so Lieutenant Bebelayev swung the operating stick and rolled down to avoid the nose fire. But the line of fire from the 25mm cannon and the 12.7mm machine gun still scared him into a cold sweat.
After avoiding two double-headed dragons in a row, Lieutenant Bebelayev discovered that all six 116s had been destroyed, and his wingman was entangled by six double-headed dragons. The most irritating thing is that these two-shot monsters don't fight at all. When they see the opportunity, they speed up and shoot. If they miss, they run away. After you dodge, another one will definitely come over. With their rough skin and thick flesh, they are basically The style of medieval heavy armored knights.
This style of play is too torturous! Second Lieutenant Bebelayev immediately rolled to the left, trying to rescue his wingman, but a double-headed dragon had already seen the opportunity and rushed over from the right. If there is a camera to capture the panoramic view, you will find that the two BF109s are rolling up and down and rushing left and right, while the 12 double-headed dragons around them are spear cavalry, attacking repeatedly.
After fighting like this for more than ten minutes, Second Lieutenant Bebelayev finally bit a double-headed dragon again, and this time he did not miss again. The two-headed dragon that was hit emitted billowing black smoke and fell towards the sea. But this was also his last achievement. Just as he was trying to escape, a double-headed dragon attacked from behind and avenged his comrades with 25mm shells.
After the lead plane was finished, the wingman couldn't hold on for long. The tail fin was broken by the cannon and disintegrated in the air.
After an 8 to 1 "double-headed dragon" fight, there wasn't much fuel left, so I couldn't rendezvous with the fleet. After confirming that my comrades had died, I simply took the nearest Strait of Hormuz and forced it through
