90 Fade Chen, the chief is looking for you

Chen Fei's words made the room fall into a long silence.

It is really too difficult for a third-generation aircraft to fight a fourth-generation aircraft. It is almost an impossible task. You don’t even know where he is, and his missiles are coming at you. How to fight?
So everyone felt the pressure, and the little bit of excitement just now disappeared.

After a while, everyone dispersed, and Fade Chen's dormitory became quiet.

He returned to the desk and sat down, and began to think about this aspect.

The stealth fighter is indeed very strong, but Chen Fei believes that he is not invincible, and he must have shortcomings. As long as he finds his flaws and breaks through there, he will definitely find a way to defeat him.

As far as he knows, so far in beyond-visual-range air combat, the only F-22 of the U.S. Air Force is the AIM-18 "fired by the U.S. Navy's most advanced electronic warfare aircraft, the EA-120G, during the confrontation exercise at Nellis Base." shoot down".

Although the U.S. military handled the matter in a low-key manner and did not release detailed details, after analysis, Fade Chen believed that the EA-18G used firepower + electronic warfare to "shoot down" the F-22 in beyond-visual-range air combat.

In over-the-horizon air combat, the reason why stealth fighters are difficult to deal with is because of the following two reasons: the enemy is difficult to find at a long distance;

According to Chen Fei's preliminary analysis: For the first point, EA-1G uses ESM equipment (ALQ-18) to intercept the signal of F-218's APG-22 and roughly orient it.

Based on this, when F-22 launches AIM-120C, EA-18G uses ECM equipment to interfere with F-22's weapon data link and APG-77, and ALQ-227 can scan F-22 and AIM-120C's weapon data link Information, ALQ-99 can jam it, ALQ 99 can also jam APG-77, and finally "at the perfect time" EA-18G launches AIM-120C to "shoot down" F-22 (relying on "jamming cancellation system" can both jam F-22, and guided attack F-22 AIM-120C).

Therefore, it is not impossible for the stealth fighter to be shot down, but how to fight it requires careful research.

But he couldn't think quietly for a long time, and soon, someone came to him, saying that he and Li Donghai were going to be on duty for combat preparation.

At this time, most of the pilots in the base were sent out, Qin Qingyu, Huang Haijun, Yang Dong and Li Cheng were also sent out on missions, so Chen Fei and the others had to be on duty.

Fade Chen didn't know exactly what happened, but what was certain was that it must have something to do with the alien stronghold during the day.

The reason why the hidden strongholds of the aliens could be discovered by Fade Chen is because they sent electronic signals. Obviously, it is impossible for the aliens hiding nearby to have only one stronghold, otherwise they would not be able to communicate with electronic signals, it must be There are many, so the base quickly found other strongholds through the harvest of that stronghold, and found other strongholds. Therefore, a big battle was inevitable. Therefore, other pilots were sent out to perform missions, so the work of combat readiness on duty Naturally, it can only fall on Chen Fei and the others.

At this time, Fade Chen didn't know much about the situation of this base, but based on some limited information, it was speculated that this base should be the headquarters of an aviation division and a regiment-level station.

The air force of our army generally exists in the division system, and the situation of brigades is relatively small, while the US Air Force exists in the wing system.

What is the difference between the aviation division system and the wing system?

The former is more suitable for homeland defense, and the latter is more suitable for offensive air forces.

Most of the "division system" in China adopts the three-three system. An aviation division has three regiments under its jurisdiction, and each regiment has three flying brigades under its jurisdiction, and three squadrons under the brigade.

Generally speaking, such an aviation division is equipped with about 2-3 stations, one of which is the main airport, and is equipped with a corresponding logistics brigade.

This constitutes a key point of homeland air defense. Several such aviation divisions and airports cover a certain range of homeland air defense, and everyone takes care of one piece.

In fact, the "divisional system" in China is a typical decentralized deployment method, which disperses large-scale aviation units over a wide area. Since each independent unit needs logistics maintenance capabilities, the logistics unit cannot be directly controlled by the division. Decentralized to the regiment, so that only 2-3 stations can carry out more effective aircraft maintenance for regiment-level troops.

In this way, the three regiments under each aviation division can control a certain range, which is suitable for defensive homeland air defense.

The "wing system" in the United States is just the opposite. It is a typical centralized deployment. The wing (division level) directly governs the flight brigade (regiment level) and the ground support brigade (regiment level). Both are equal, and are directly under the direct control of the alliance.

This deployment method is more suitable for the offensive air force. It concentrates its forces in one place, and does not need to disperse and defend a large area. Otherwise, if the flight brigade leaves the wing, there will be problems with logistical maintenance.

The decentralized deployment of the "division system" and the centralized deployment of the "wing system" will essentially make a huge difference in the tactical methods of aviation.If the "division system" air force deployed in a dispersed manner is in war, it often appears as a tactical air force. For example, the air force in the Soviet-Soviet era mainly focuses on covering and cooperating with ground operations, and will not be used for any strategic purpose. .

The "division system" is very convenient to move. For a group of troops in one direction, one or two aviation divisions will be assigned to it. An aviation division with three regiments will continue to be assigned to the lower army and division level, and the aviation regiment has its own logistics. Maintain capabilities and stations, and don't have to worry about problems after leaving the division.

Of course, this kind of tactical thinking is already relatively old, because the airports of frontline tactical air combat are often the key targets of the enemy, and a large number of airports are needed to maintain them. Therefore, temporary airports must only have airstrips. Most of the current third-generation and a half fighters have no There is no way to take off on this kind of dirt runway.Moreover, in terms of strike methods, air superiority cannot be formed after the aviation regiment is dispersed among the troops.

This is a backward tactic that appeared when the flight range of the aircraft was too short. If the attack distance and ammunition load of the aircraft were large, it could take off from a safe airport behind. This is why most Western fighters are very fancy.

And being able to maintain and take off at the same large airport is much more efficient. This is the advantage of the centralized deployment of the "wing system", so in general, the "wing system" actually conducts long-range tactical/strategic strikes. It is in conflict with frontline tactical air force.

And if the front-line tactical air force is still engaged in now, wouldn't the long-range stealth capabilities of the J-11B, J-16, and J-20 be useless?

However, changes in aviation and air combat thinking will inevitably lead to the collapse of the "division system". Even in order to adapt to changes in fighter aircraft, centralized deployment is imperative.

However, advanced and backward are also relative. Under different circumstances, the backward may be more useful. For example, at this time, as an important force in the second line of defense, it must be mainly defensive. Therefore, Chen Fei speculated that this area There should be an aviation division stationed there, and their base is actually almost a regiment-level station.

Of course, this is just Chen Fei's guess, and he doesn't know whether it is right or not.

The busy and tense days at the base lasted for three days. On the fourth day, the atmosphere calmed down. There were far fewer planes taking off and landing, and the density was also lower.

When Fade Chen was flipping through a book in the combat readiness room, a staff officer walked in: "Fade Chen!"

"Here!" Fade Chen stood up abruptly.

The staff officer was a major with a higher rank than him, but Fade Chen didn't call him the chief. Although he was only a captain, he was a pilot, so he didn't need to be called the chief of the other party. This is the habit of fighter jet units.

"Chen Fei, follow me, the chief is looking for you."

"The chief is looking for me? Which chief?" Fade Chen was taken aback.

But the guy didn't answer.

After regaining his senses, Fade Chen hurriedly said, "But I'm on duty?"

"It's okay, the chief has arranged for other people, they will be here soon, let's go!"

Fade Chen collected his things, and then followed the staff officer to the office building.

But this organ building is quite hidden, and it is different from the organ building that Fade Chen went to before, it seems to be of a higher level.

He took Fade Chen straight to an office on the third floor.

"Report—" Fade Chen shouted.

"Come in!" A soft voice came from inside.

Chen Fei walked in and took a look. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a square face and a crew cut, a typical soldier image.

"Hi, Chief!" Fade Chen stood at attention with a snap and saluted.
