reborn super empire

'beep!beep!beep! '

Suddenly there was a high-pitched siren sound in the air force base, and at the same time, hundreds of people at most, and dozens of pilots at least hurried out of the dormitory or the standby room with their flying equipment.

The ground crew quickly pulled the fighter plane out of the hangar. The only thing that was already ready was the runway of the airport.

In order to ensure that the fighter planes can take off at any time to fight, several snow plows are arranged at the airport, and some corners that cannot be cleaned are cleaned one by one by the soldiers in charge of the airport runway.

But just after cleaning, within ten minutes at most, the runway was completely white again, and the ground crew had to clean the runway again to prevent the fighter plane from skidding when it took off.

Taking off in such a bad weather requires high technical requirements for pilots. If you are not careful, you may slip off the runway during takeoff, which will bring danger to the pilot's life.

Especially when the plane is landing, if the control is not good, there will be a scene of loss of control, which is more dangerous than when taking off.

But they are all Air Force pilots. Once the combat alarm sounds, even if it is a sea of ​​swords and flames, they have to go on without hesitation. They are the country's first and last line of defense.

"Old Liu, what mission?"

A lieutenant colonel quickly put on his flight cap. Unlike other ordinary pilots, he has two scopes on his cap, and there are more than 50 people in this base like him.

They are the pilots who have just returned from the mainland for less than a week, and they are also the first batch of pilots equipped with air-to-surface missiles in the Chinese Empire.

However, during this week, they conducted a total of four take-off and landing training.Three of them flew in the air without ammunition, that is, to adapt to take off in the snow.

Only the last time it took off with full armor.And that take-off also brought them a lot of trouble.Because air-to-ground missiles are a bit heavy, they require a longer taxiing distance than other fighters.

And this also caused them to have a greater chance of skidding than other fighters, and naturally they were more dangerous. During the previous practice, one plane almost crashed and died. Fortunately, the pilot did not directly reduce the speed to the minimum. .

While rushing out of the runway, the pilot just let the fighter plane continue to taxi, and basically did not use the brakes, which is exactly this kind of measure.It saved his life.

But when the plane was inspected later, the landing gear was severely damaged, and a set of landing gear had to be replaced before the fighter plane could continue to take off.

This lieutenant colonel was named Sun Qi, who was originally the deputy head of the Third Flying Regiment. After going to the mainland for training this time, their division deliberately integrated the pilots who had received training from various bases.

Sun Qi also served as the deputy head of the regiment, stationed at Ulan-Ude Air Force Base, and led 56 pilots under him to be responsible for the tasks in this area.And their head is stationed in Bratsk, leading the remaining 70 or so pilots, responsible for the tasks in that area.

A regiment is stationed in two airports respectively.This has never happened before, that is, after they returned from the mainland, the headquarters wanted to strengthen the combat capabilities of each airport.We have to follow the size of the task area and the proportion of the task.

Re-divided the stationed airport for them.Because the number of trained pilots is relatively small, and there are still some local pilots and pilots stationed in Saudi Arabia.There are only a few hundred people allocated to the North Army Group.

And they had to be scattered in various airports on standby. In the case of insufficient troops, Liu Ling could only divide them up in this way.

In order to save time and ensure that the fighter planes can ascend to the sky in the shortest possible time, the task arrangement in the airfield of the Imperial Chinese Air Force is different from that in other countries.

Here, the tower at the base will sound the alarm first, and at the same time issue combat tasks to the ground crew, who will quickly take out the map and mark the mission objectives on the map. These are when the pilot puts on the equipment or runs to the side of the fighter plane and it will be done.

Next, the ground crew will hand over the map to the pilot, and dictate the mission again. They often use this method to convey the mission.

After many experiments, this method can save one to two minutes or even longer time than other methods.

If the ground staff and the pilots have a tacit understanding, then the fastest time from when the alarm is raised to when the first fighter plane takes off is a little over one minute. Of course, this is also under certain conditions.

For example, the pilot is just not far from the fighter plane, and the fighter plane has also replenished fuel and ammunition, and the engine is already being prepared.

Especially in this kind of big winter, fighter planes generally need to warm up for a while before they can take off, otherwise it will have a certain impact on the life of the engine, and it will also bring certain dangers to the pilot.

"Your task is to fly directly to Novosibirsk, destroy the hospital there, and the headquarters of the Soviet Far East Military District. Old Chu and the others will be one step ahead of you, and they will guide you with specific targets at that time."

Old Liu handed the map and some photos to Sun Qi.

It was the first time for him to fight in this form, and it was also a battle that he had never seen before. After the fighter jets went out, they were not fighting, but playing the role of scouting.

And the main force of the real attack turned out to be these weird-looking guys. Of course, it is undeniable that although these guys seem to be powerful, they have never used them. It is better to pin all your hopes on these guys. Just let the bombers go to bomb.

"Be careful, the weather is bad and the visibility is not high, try to bring all the brothers back."

Old Liu immediately patted Sun Qi on the shoulder, exhorting him.

Lao Liu is a senior soldier, that is, the highest rank among all soldiers. Because he did not participate in the war, and he could not meet the requirements for promotion to an officer, but it would be impossible without these people in the army, so he has never been in the army before. The level of sergeant major that has appeared is particularly numerous in the Air Force.

However, this type of people mainly appears on the ground staff. Due to the limited number of officers, most of these people are officers in charge of duty or deployment. A few officers are enough for a base, but the officers are transferred back and forth. Maybe one day I will go to another airport.

And these sergeant majors, to put it bluntly, are people with skills in their hands. They are all doing aircraft repairs. Although they are not officers, the treatment they enjoy is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. In terms of treatment, Lao Liu's current treatment is equivalent to that of a regiment-level army, that is, the treatment of a lieutenant colonel.

Moreover, an old sergeant major is no easier to get than an officer. Many new officers here have to establish a good relationship with these sergeant majors, because they can be said to be the leaders of these soldiers and also the people who assist these officers. , If the officers are not there, these sergeant majors can still lead the soldiers to complete the task very well.

And Lao Liu was originally a skilled worker in a certain factory in the Northeast. He had previously repaired aircraft in the Northeast Army. Although it was not an advanced aircraft, he was someone who had touched an aircraft.

Later, the Northeast Army ran away, and Lao Liu didn't want to mix with the Japanese, and the Japanese didn't want them, so he went to work as a worker in a factory. Later, when he was recruited, Lao Liu went back to his old job again, repairing Aircraft, now he is the chief sergeant of the ground staff of Ulan-Ude Air Force Base, and all soldiers must follow his instructions.

"Old Liu, don't worry. After we leave later, you can go back to the house and drink a few sips of tea first. By the way, boil more water. I will come back and drink with you later."

Sun Qi patted Lao Liu on the shoulder with a smile, and responded.Immediately looking around, after finding no one, Sun Qi quietly leaned into Lao Liu's ear, and said softly:

"Let me tell you secretly, today's visibility is poor. If it were changed to summer, the old Soviet Union would probably die before he even saw our shadow. This guy is definitely a treasure. You will see it with your own eyes someday." Know his power."

After finishing speaking, Sun Qi got into the fighter plane head-on, first started the engine, and then quietly waited for the command to take off.

The first batch of fighters to take off were ordinary fighters, about 57 of them, the remaining 43 were [-] modified J-[-]bs, and [-] J-[-]s were used as the second echelon.

Liu Ling finally adopted the method of two echelons to complete the attack under Huang Jianbin's suggestion. What these pilots didn't know was that under the unified dispatch of the North Army Group Command, the time for launching attacks on all battlefields was extremely different. It will not take more than 10 minutes.

The headquarters has even calculated the flight speed of each echelon, which not only left enough observation time for the first echelon, but also allowed the second echelon to follow up in time, without giving any reaction to the Soviet army. Chance.

'Buzzing...'

After the first echelon took off, about 10 minutes later, the second echelon also began to slowly lift off. After a whole hundred planes formed a team over the airport, they flew directly towards Novosibirsk. .

For the J-[-] fighters with airborne radar, the threat in the air is no threat to them at all. Next, they only need to avoid the anti-aircraft fire on the ground.

The fighter planes are flying in the stratosphere at about 8000 meters, so the air defense forces on the ground can only hear the sound, and cannot see the fighter planes in the air at all, so this is definitely the safest flight.

For pilots, the biggest challenge is not how to avoid ground anti-aircraft fire, nor how to deal with enemy fighters, but how to lock the target and launch an attack. (to be continued..)
