Chapter 1012 Night air battle, defeat!

"Report! Discover more unknown enemy models! It has been confirmed that it is equipped with a radar system with weak power and has certain night air combat capabilities. Please indicate!"

In a temporary command center in the outskirts of Singapore, Jin Zhihao, the commander of the 12th Marine Division, listened to the loud communication of the communication soldiers, nodded slightly as usual, and said: "Tell the radar station and ships to continue monitoring. Without my order, warships are not allowed to fire at will. I want to see if these aircraft of unknown origin have the ability to find light-controlled ships."

A burst of thunder and thunder came from outside, and the rumbling air rushed into a messy storm, raising the infrared camouflage skin outside the command tent. There were even a few shells that exploded less than a kilometer away. The huge impact and shock made the things inside jingle and the lights were unstable.

But Jin Zhihao and his subordinates were ignorant. Those who were standing and sitting were all focused on their work, as if they didn't care whether the bomb had a considerable chance of falling on their heads.

Well, in fact, they don’t have to worry. In theory, the air defense vehicles equipped with each division-level command can use 25mm six-barrel near-defense guns and 12.7mm Vulcan machine guns to explode the missiles in the air. It is difficult for the aircraft to drop bombs on their heads.

The US military's P61 was discovered. In the ten minutes after the attack was launched, Singapore's defense forces had all entered combat. The reason why they were allowed to throw bombs in high altitude was that the purposeless horizontal bombing method they adopted was beyond expectations, and the other hand, they also needed to figure out their real intentions.

After this time, Jin Zhihao could basically determine that the intentional waste of ammunition by enemy aircraft is not rushing and timid, or unable to see the target clearly, but is bait at all. Facts have proved that when the ground searchlights and anti-aircraft guns were exposed, the second wave of enemy aircraft that rushed down and fired were enough to show their intention.

So, are they really just trying to attack the ground troops? Obviously not. Jin Zhihao could guess without thinking that what the enemy really cares about is the water ships. Similar bombings actually have little effect on ground units. Since they know, they cannot be satisfied. Even if the accuracy and density of destroyers and land anti-aircraft artillery fire combined is enough to eliminate the current two enemy planes, no one can guarantee whether they can break through the interception of the scattered ships when they pounce in groups.

Be careful. There is always no big mistake.

Jin Zhihao paused and ordered: "Let the air defense battalions focus on intercepting the dive enemy aircraft and attack them as much as possible! Let's talk about the rest!"

The 12th Marine Division is responsible for a heavy task. It not only needs to defend Singapore, but also cooperate with the navy. It is necessary to prevent the coalition from attacking from Malaya, but also attract attacks from all sides. He will not take out all his chips unless he has to.

But no matter what, the unusual ability shown by the enemy plane in front of him made Jin Zhihao feel a little alert, and he was patient to figure out what was going on.

When the P61 carrying eight guns and cannons opened fire on the ground, the sparkling fire whip was short and fierce, and the damage caused by the strafing was astonishingly great. It could sweep across an area of ​​500 meters in diameter in almost a second. A series of dense tiny explosions splashed into pieces of Mars. Houses were opened from the tops, with holes as big as fists or even basketballs. The sound of glass bursting and the screams of injured civilians were heard!

The residents of Singapore have not been evacuated. The city has just changed hands. They have not made a decision whether they should surrender. I don’t know if they are as fierce and cruel as they are in the publicity. Most of them hide at home and wait for changes to appear, but unexpectedly they are suffering such an unrestrained disaster!

Fortunately, the targets that enemy planes are mostly bright searchlights and anti-aircraft cannons that shine in flames, which really causes not many civilian casualties.

The scattered dive of twenty or thirty night fighters, the roar of the twin-engine engine was shrill and explosive. In a blink of an eye, you can clearly hear it. The explosion flames caused by the explosion illuminate the target that you don’t know whether it is true or not!

Just as these planes rushed to a height of less than 1,000 meters, the anti-aircraft guns were silent. Dozens of 6-barrel 25mm close-proof guns, or four parallel 12.7mm heavy machine guns, and the six-barrel Vulcan armored air defense vehicles suddenly opened fire!

Under the unified and coordinated command of the keen and precise fire control radar, the bullet flow emitted by the guns and cannons fired at a terrifying speed of 6,000 rounds per minute in one second can form a continuous metal storm! The dazzling white arc drawn by the tracer bullet mixed in the middle appears as the cannon seat swings cleverly, showing a curved wave of each second. Bullets as thick as radish, the shells are sprayed wildly into a velocity, like an ultra-high-speed engine roaring. In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming projectiles covered the sky!

"ohshit!" The US pilots all let out a terrifying scream, swaying their fuselage to avoid it, but the bulky big guy was easy to rush. He wanted to be as clever as a single-engine fighter, and it was too beautiful to think about it!

The balls of bullets and the sudden hail fell from the bottom to the top, hitting the fighter planes in a crackling manner. The thick skin and flesh P61 can withstand the holes pierced by 12.7mm bullets, but the 25mm bombs hit too much. Once it exploded, it would be a hole as big as a washbasin. In an instant, more than a dozen fighter planes broke down, emitting fire, or dragging thick smoke, rolling crookedly towards the ground and falling!

Behind the fleet, the Air Force Major Henderson, who led the team to fight, saw the bursting fire from afar and couldn't help but exclaim: "God! The Chinese have prepared so much air defense firepower. They must at least have a soldier in the army to have such a large number. It's simply..."

Too much.

What Major Henderson wants to say the most is actually this word. It is just a port city. But after only one or two days of occupation, it has produced so much anti-aircraft artillery fire. Did they say that they had long known that they would be subjected to violent air strikes?

It’s not impossible! The US military has carried out repeated inspections and cleanings over the past year, and has found some guys who had secretly maintained close contact with the Chinese before. They have revealed a lot of secrets of the US military. So now, is there another senior executive who has leaked the truth in advance?

It must be! Major Henderson thought hatefully and was deeply hurt by the planes that were shot down. The person next to him turned around and asked him: "Major! The enemy did not seem to have the intention of exposing their warships. What should we do?"

Henderson frowned slightly, this was not good news.

According to the plan, they used a few fighter jets to test bombing, find air defense fire points and destroy them, tempting their naval ships to fire and intercept them, and then concentrate their efforts to kill them, thus creating a temporary vacuum in the waters of Malacca. It provides valuable time difference for the remaining fleet of the coalition forces huddled in the Java Sea to regain Singapore.

A very complicated plan, but it is very feasible. Henderson was full of confidence, but now it seems that he is a little too early to be happy.

The lights are dark, and the ships controlled by lights on the sea cannot be found at all, unless the plane is allowed to risk flying from ultra-low altitudes. But the possibility of falling head-on is higher, so you can't take that risk.

Henderson said decisively: "Then keep attacking until they react as we want! If we are sure that there are no more fighter jets and air defense firepower, we can summon the heavy bomber group and give them some color!"

Yes, their mission is not just one layer. Throwing bombs is also to pretend to be bombers to attract enemy attacks. Once they send fighter planes to intercept, they will immediately transform and give them a heavy blow!

This kind of work is the unique design of the P61. It is not inferior to the bomber's physique. It has a maximum load of 2,900 kilograms, a huge range and ceiling. From there, it is all indicators of the bomber. In addition to its air combat capability, it can be said to be omnipotent!

The South China Sea Fleet Naval Air Force fighter jets, which were responsible for Singapore's airspace defense, arrived soon!

The fighter jets that took off from the Natuna Islands Airport, more than 200 kilometers away, crossed the sea and directly rushed to the southern airspace of Singapore. The aircraft group led by twelve "tiger sharks" easily locked in the third wave of enemy aircraft cruising on the periphery and searching for targets without saying a word. They fired fighting missiles from a high altitude five kilometers away!

The P61 hovering outside was not blind either. They were just warned of this move and rushed forward with a single machine regardless of their own. The machine gun was fully fired, and they were vigorously preparing to use unprecedented ammunition density to kill these hateful opponents.

It's not that easy!

The Zhu family army, who is the leader of the Air Force missiles, is a special robot assembly line, and a series of factories are cooperating with the production of the assembly line. The daily output of the guys spit out of the assembly line is calculated in hundreds of times, for fear that the supply of various parts of the air force will not be too high. In addition, it is also the extremely low cost of intelligent manufacturing to fight against the terrifying aircraft production capacity of the coalition forces ten times. I see whether it is a 100-kilogram missile weighing 100 kilograms, or a fighter weighing two or three tons, with expensive engines and pilots, which is more resistant to consumption!

Therefore, once a confident pilot takes action, the missiles will be made with two shots and one target. The more large combat units are given priority. The darkness is in full swing, and the P61s are naturally the target of public criticism. Twelve "tiger sharks" rushing in a two-plane formation, dragging the dazzling tail flames, and the meteors' breakthrough speed of the moon are killed by the sound, and the group that is closest to the sieve is immediately turned into a sieve!

The jet bomb rain of the alert fighter jets hovering alone like ghosts also flocked to this time!

The dense rain of bullets like a swell of explosion was something HNA pilots had never seen in their lives. They suffered a loss unexpectedly. They dodged left and right but were still hit by bullets. The most unlucky guy was hit by a 20mm cannon in succession, and the engine armor could not withstand it. He was blown away and caught fire. The wings exploded and broke, and fell down crookedly.

This was too frustrating. The pilot ejected the skydivingly, stabilizing his body in the air, while waving his fists at the speeding black enemy plane, and shouted through the radio: "Damn the foreign devil, you dare to take a damn attack! Brothers, avenge me!"

After the wingman avoided it, he laughed wildly: "You can't die again, go back and change the plane and beat him up, and you're just avenging him... Fuck, how could this damn god come from such a fierce firepower! This is not right!"

The pilot exclaimed and opened the throttle valve. The fierce 800-kilometer speed of the "Tiger Shark" fighter immediately took effect, and screamed like a rocket thruster installed on his butt. He suddenly drew an arc and drifted out more than a kilometer. Then he turned around in the air and turned around. The radar quickly locked the target, pressed the button swearingly, and two fighting bullets rushed over without hooking and tearing open two spectacular holes in the waist.

The explosion flash in the air finally illuminated the figure of P61, with its strange shape, sturdy body, ferocious guns and cannons, and the style of an air hunter made the pilot who had seen P38 mistakenly think that he had encountered that old model, but his intuitive judgment was obviously not. This guy is bigger, his firepower is stronger, his speed is higher!

"It's a brand new enemy aircraft! The shell is so hard that it's unreasonable! Both missiles were completely disintegrated. I really don't know how much capital the Americans have put in!"

The knowledgeable pilot praised the other fighter planes while sharing their discoveries.

This is not hypocrisy. Today, pilots are a knightly style all over the world. If you have advantages to your peers, you still have to praise them, and that is not sarcastic.

The fighting bombs equipped with "Tiger Shark" use needle-shaped fragment beam killing, locked with semi-active radar guidance, and then detonated by wireless near-blasting after forcing the target. They are scattered out in a fan shape.

Generally speaking, a single-engine fighter jet will be fine if it is corrected, especially in fast flight and maneuver. Even one-tenth of the broken hit is enough to disintegrate and crash. In combat against Japan, it is very successful.

However, it means that the fighter jets of the Americans have a little less effective effect, especially the B24, B25 and even B29 heavy bombers that appeared on the battlefield before. They are big and thick-skinned and have no choice but to deal with them if they don’t hit the missile. They can only resist a few holes, so they can still come back to work when they go back to repair them.

The P38 I encountered before often had similar situations, which forced fighter jets to use two missiles at a time. It seemed like a waste, but in fact it was safer.

Now, two fighting bullets passed, and the rushing P61 was not destroyed. It was just that the engine on one side was rolling smoke, and the flying cockpit was pulled by the blood Hulin. At least two of the three crew members inside died. The pilot at the front seemed intact and was desperately controlling the plane not to crash directly, but fell down crookedly.

This unexpected discovery immediately attracted the attention of the fleet and the air force. The targeted intelligence collection naturally strengthened. The current air battle, due to the sudden disruption of the twelve "tiger sharks", Major Henderson was happy and worried.

He hurriedly ordered the third wave of aircraft that had been waiting for a long time to quickly disperse and enter air combat, let go of the means and the "tiger shark" who was one level higher than his speed and maneuverability to play dog ​​fight. On a dark night, the performance of the radar showed a huge difference.

Because of Zhu Bin's interference, the radar of the "Tiger Shark" is all advanced things in large-scale integrated circuits. It can cooperate with early warning machines to conduct joint operations. When it comes to single-machine battles, it can still lock the opponent's targets tightly. Whether it is the discovery distance, speed, and accuracy, it is not the same order of magnitude.

One aircraft suffered a loss, and the other eleven aircraft were immediately cautious. They immediately dispersed the dual-aircraft formation, opened a huge grid, and sent the target radar launch signal back after confirmation and feedback. After the update, they immediately launched the second wave of missiles at a long distance, and then followed up to fight at close range!

With a 25mm explosive bomb killing that was twice the power of the opponent, three or five-one clusters of short shots hit the huge body of P61. Pieces of flames and explosive debris, Mars kept blooming at high altitudes. The flexible maneuvers of eleven tiger sharks forced Major Henderson to throw another group of aircraft in advance.

And the target he saw most, the warship, still did not appear!

The second batch of "tiger sharks" also rushed over after more than ten minutes, and their air combat capabilities increased sharply!

Major Henderson finally found that the new fighter jets that were highly anticipated were still difficult to regain air supremacy. The good news is that the manufacturer's claim of strong combat effectiveness and high indicators and high performance are not boastful. As long as there is enough number and the assistance of other fighters, even if you can't beat the Chinese Air Force, you can at least let it go!

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Henderson sent a helpless message: "Retreat! Let the damn Chinese be let go once!"

He could not throw all the fighter planes into it at once. Today's action has achieved considerable results. If he continues to tossing, he might have uncontrollable troubles!

The first wave of aircraft group that circled between 8,000 and 10,000 meters high was killed by six or seven of the 75mm anti-aircraft guns. The remaining accelerated maneuvers were separated. The second wave was hit by close-defense guns and anti-aircraft guns and was more than 60% disabled. The third wave was killed by two missiles and was raided by missiles. More than 100 large battle groups were covered in scars, but none of the warships sank.

Major Henderson, with his stomach full of dissatisfaction, took the remaining aircraft group to speed up and get rid of the siege, and turned around and whistled away. According to estimates, after spending half an hour in circles, they can directly return to the airport, summarize the experience and lessons, and carry out the formal battle.

But he never expected that the enemy ships that could not be found would have kept their figures firmly under the radar lock.
