Hunting's tactical adjustment was very simple. Since the A-1 attack aircraft could only conduct close-range dive bombing, he simply suspended the offensive operations of the remaining A-1 attack aircraft and handed over the next strike mission to the escorting F-86s.

Saber fighter jet.

Yes, it is the F-86 named "Saber"!

It is indeed an excellent fighter aircraft as famous as the MiG-15. Logically speaking, its target should be in the sky. However, what is little known is that except for the six 12.7mm Browns on the nose used for air combat, the F-86

In addition to the Ning machine gun, 2,000 pounds of other equipment can be mounted under the wings.

It can be a bomb used for dive attacks, or it can be an auxiliary fuel tank to extend the range. However, the F-86 that accompanied Huntinger on the night air raid mission this time is not equipped with a ground attack bomb or an auxiliary fuel tank, but a distribution

8 aviation rockets in two quad rocket launchers.

This type of rocket, called the MK-12, was originally used to carry out close-range air combat. After all, the power of the six 12.7mm Browning machine guns equipped with the F-86 is compared to the power of one 37mm aircraft cannon and two

The MiG-15 with a 23mm cannon is too weak.

A single 23mm aircraft cannon shell can severely damage it; if it receives two, it can have a close contact with the earth; if the character explodes and is bitten by a 37mm aircraft cannon shell, then you can congratulate the pilot f—

My 86-year-old brother, you can put aside all the troubles in the world and accept the call of God in advance.

On the other hand, on the F-86 side, we often ran out of bullets without seeing a few of them shot down, but a lot of them were injured. But within a few days, the ground crew would repair it and come back to settle the score with it. It was helpless.

Under this situation, the Americans could only find another way to directly take over the German technology of using aviation rockets to attack enemy aircraft in the late World War II and create this set of so-called MK-12 aviation rockets.

Not to mention, after the MK-12 aviation rocket is equipped with the F-86, the air combat power is instantly increased by several times, so that the US Air Force pilots also have a weapon that enchants the soul.

However, as the saying goes, this aviation rocket was originally used for air combat, but in actual combat, US military pilots found another way to use it more lethally, and that was ground attack!

Because the radio proximity fuse equipped on the warhead of the MK-12 aviation rocket can not only explode automatically the moment it approaches the aircraft to attack the incoming enemy aircraft, it can also be detonated directly at a height of several meters close to the ground, causing countless

The killing fragments pounce on the enemy target like a goddess scattering flowers.

The degree of damage it causes to targets is very significant, especially for light infantry that lacks armor protection like the Volunteer Army. The impact is particularly outstanding. Therefore, the U.S. Air Force's F-86 usually carries two quadruple missiles when performing missions over North Korea.

Equipped with mk-12 aviation rockets.

Even if it is not used in air combat, as long as it catches a suitable ground target, it will pounce on it like a hungry wolf, turning the rockets under the wings into vicious wolf claws until the target is torn apart!

Although Hunting's eight F-86 fighter jets were deployed in this configuration this time, originally according to Hunting's combat plan, in addition to being responsible for escort, these eight F-86 fighter jets also had the task of finishing the attack afterwards. After all,

Those rockets were still extremely lethal to the severely damaged Chinese logistics troops.

But now, with the defeat of the Kurt attack fleet, Huntinger had to unsheath the broken "Saber" early, because he not only valued the super maneuverability of the F-86 equipped with a jet engine.

, pay more attention to the range of the added mk-12 aviation rocket.

The previous disastrous defeat was indeed unexpected by Huntinge, but he soon calmed down and quickly summed up several reasons for the defeat. Underestimating the enemy was the most important reason. It was for this reason that large-scale flares were used to assist.

A-1 attack aircraft's tactical strike method of close-range dive bombing.

This tactic is naturally unfavorable against Chinese logistics troops who were only equipped with ordinary anti-aircraft artillery shells in the past. However, if it is used against anti-aircraft artillery troops equipped with radio proximity fuzes, it is tantamount to risking death. You must know which rounds detonate in the air.

The cannonballs will form a dense barrage that would scare even the devil.

If the fighter jets that broke into it were unharmed, then they would really have seen God!

Therefore, close-range dive bombing is naturally not advisable. Of course, Huntinger can choose to use B-26 bombing to carry out high-altitude air bombing. However, this method is safe, but the accuracy is pitiful, especially at night against several columns in the sky.

A target that looks about the same size as a few small reptiles is launched into a bomb attack. The degree of hit depends entirely on the character.

After much deliberation, only the combination of the MK-12 rocket with a range of more than 1,000 meters and the super maneuverable F-86 is the magic weapon to defeat the enemy, because Huntinge discovered through previous attacks that the downed A-1 attacked

All aircraft are located within the bright area of ​​the flare.

In other words, the light of the illumination not only indicates the target for one's own side, but also allows the enemy to clearly see the direction of its attack, which is why it suffers such heavy losses.

And if the attack position of the fighter plane is placed outside the reticle range of the illumination bomb, how can the Chinese logistics forces, which are not even equipped with basic air defense searchlights for night air defense pursuits, react?

The only A-1 attack aircraft equipped with aviation rockets that had just used aviation rockets to conduct a tentative attack had already given the answer Huntinger wanted, which was no response. If that was the case, what else was there to say?

Just swing the "saber" and chop the Chinese on the neck.

So Huntinger picked up the command intercom without hesitation and ordered unceremoniously: "Edson, I won't say any more nonsense. You also saw the exploratory attack just now. As I said, 1,000 flares

Launch aerospace rockets outside the code's warning radius, and then immediately climb up and enter high altitude. You have to know that the Chinese in front of you are powerful, but they are completely night blind and blind!"

"clear!"

Although Lieutenant Colonel Edson, the commander of the F-86 fleet, was somewhat reluctant, he still accepted Colonel Huntingger's order. After all, he also knew that this battle was related to the success or failure of the US military's counterattack on the front line, but more importantly, the previous

The successful attack carried out by the A-1 attack aircraft assigned by Colonel Huntingger completely dispelled all his worries.

Propeller planes can still complete the attack safely. If the current fighter fleet he leads, which has a world-class standard, can do so, it will be laughed at by his air force colleagues in the future.

Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Edson had to fight whether it was for the sake of the overall strategy or personal dignity. So he, who was extremely cautious in the past, finally released his wolf-like nature today, quickly adjusted the channel of the intercom, and issued a short command:

"'Hungry Wolf' Group C and Group D attack from the four o'clock direction, others follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Adelson took the lead in driving the F-86 and rushed down. Following his actions, the eight F-86 fleet quickly divided into two teams and attacked the Chinese train set from two directions.

Centripetal assault, but in the blink of an eye, the roaring sound of jet engines in the sky was deafening. The two teams of F-86 finally showed their ferocious fangs and rushed towards the Chinese logistics troops like wolves and tigers...

However, Song Tianming, who was sitting in front of the comprehensive console at this time, had a look of shock. Facing the two incoming targets, he just sighed deeply and then said steadily into the intercom: "Get ready to fight."
Chapter completed!
