Chapter 323 Sea Dragon Jet Carrier Aircraft: Victory in the First Battle(2/3)
Ge Yunsheng in the picture also saw Zhang Shusheng on the screen and heard his orders, which made him feel a little incredible. Although he had known that the flagship had a very advanced ultra-long-distance information transmission system, he did not expect that it could not only transmit sounds, but also
The pictures can be transmitted in real time. Ge Yunsheng is not a scientist and will not think deeply about the meaning, but he knows the confidentiality regulations and is happy that the country has such advanced equipment.
After Zhang Shusheng turned off the compound eye system, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Jet fighters are not new. At least China already has an inventory of more than 2,000 land-based TL-1 and Type 1 modifications. The Navy also has an inventory of more than 200 ship-based aircraft, excluding those reserved for training pilots.
In addition to the remaining domestic fleets and other domestic fleets, the two Emperor-class aircraft carriers of the Pacific Expeditionary Fleet and several of the Sengoku-class aircraft carriers are equipped with a certain amount of HL-1 type carrier jet fighters. About 120 HL-1 type aircraft carriers.
Although the number of jet warships and aircraft is not very conspicuous among the number of warships and aircraft in the entire fleet, it is definitely a big deal in this era.
After all, according to intelligence personnel's information about American jet fighters that is almost accurate to single digits, the total number of American jet fighters does not exceed 50, and the second batch is still on the assembly line. If the situation were not too tense, the Americans would
More time to produce more fighter jets.
However, this new type of aircraft has just been finalized and produced by the Americans. It is difficult to produce, has low efficiency, and has a high failure rate. Judging from the current tense atmosphere in the Pacific, these first batch of 50 jet fighters should all be deployed to Watts in the Pacific.
Hu Dao Base. As for how many land-based types and ship types there are, it is unknown.
In the original history, the Germans frantically built more than 2,000 me262 Stormbird jet fighters before their collapse in 1945. Today, a conservative estimate is that the total number of such fighter jets has reached about 1,000. After all, the war situation is not as good as in the original history.
The situation is so bad that the Germans have not tried their best to build it and try to save the decline. However, with a population of about 1,000, it is also the world's largest jet fighter country after China.
Needless to say, the American F-86 jet fighter, although its production has not yet been raised, its performance is superior to the Storm Bird. In addition, the British Meteor jet fighter and the Soviet MiG
-9 jet fighters and the Japanese Sakura jet fighters. These three types of jet fighters are the least mature. Not to mention combat, they have not even solved the high failure rate in flight. The Japanese alone lost three of them in a month.
A Sakura demonstrator. This was the result of technical support from the Germans. Just like the British, even if they received technical assistance, the plane would still fall from the sky, let alone large-scale deployment and combat.
Among these countries, China's Tianlong jet fighter and Sea Dragon jet fighter are undoubtedly the most advanced. Even the F-86 is one or two levels behind it. Not to mention, the Tianlong-2 fighter jet is already being produced in small quantities.
This type of fighter emphasizes air combat and competition for air superiority. It carries four standard Patriot 1 air-to-air missiles with a range of 4 kilometers, completely surpassing the era of cannon and machine gun confrontation.
At the same time, the American air-to-air missile program had just been launched. It would not be finalized until the end of 1945 at the latest, and it would not be put into service until 1946.
This is due to the changes in China that have greatly matured the U.S. technological system. Historically, the combat missile program established in 1945 could not be equipped until several years later.
It can be said that China relies on its inventory of more than 2,000 jet fighters and its jet fighter factories that can produce up to 500 jet fighters per month once the machines are fully turned on. This is China's biggest reliance in the future era of jet fighter decisive battles.
.
But now, the Americans are boldly and experimentally deploying jet fighters. If China's expeditionary fleet continues to be hidden, it will lose strategically.
Zhang Shusheng knew deeply that this World War II would definitely be more ferocious than the original one in history, because China, a huge butterfly, is constantly flapping its wings in Asia and has changed too many things. The result is that all countries will be unwilling to
When you admit defeat, you will drain your wealth and fight a hearty world war.
The Allies could liberate the Axis Powers under the banner of freedom, peace, prosperity and equality, and these are precisely what China can do.
Zhang Shusheng always imagined, why can't the Chinese Communist Party wave the flag and rescue the people of all countries from dire straits? This is a problem, but it is definitely a problem with a solution.
…
After receiving the authorization, Ge Yunsheng was no longer as anxious as before, until the Seahawk Squadron reported that everything was normal in the nearby waters and brought back clear training pictures of American jet warships and aircraft, and there were even vaguely visible images on the deck.
When using an aircraft that looks like a jet warship, there is no longer any doubt about the outcome.
"This is a U.S. aircraft carrier fleet that has just finished, or has urgently ended its ocean-going test training mission due to our Pacific offensive. The fall of Guam has made the Americans see a real crisis, and it is inevitable to order this training fleet to return.
The reason why they couldn't wait to conduct the ocean test was because they wanted to have one more weapon to use in the decisive battle at sea. However, it is a pity that we have caught up with them."
At the combat meeting, Ge Yunsheng personally gave a brief explanation of the enemy's situation. The purpose of the meeting was simple: to eat up this enemy squadron and sink these aircraft carriers containing the new hope of the U.S. Navy into the sea to feed the fish.
Gao Xiaochuan continued, "At present, the ordinary HJ-2 and Type 3 warships and aircraft are no longer suitable for participating in wars. Although our two types of warships and aircraft, especially the HJ-3, are not suitable for combat when facing the F-86 fighter
, theoretically it will not be completely at an absolute disadvantage, but
There is no need for us to take risks. According to the orders of the base camp, testing the combat effectiveness of this new type of aircraft of the US military, obtaining first-hand actual combat information, and sinking this aircraft carrier squadron are tasks we must complete. Chief of Staff Guo, please tell me
Battle plan.”
"yes."
Rear Admiral Guo Shaofeng, Chief of Staff of the Pacific Fleet, walked up to the operational map and quickly explained, “In accordance with the spirit of the captain-staff meeting just now, the main characteristics of this operation are speed and ruthlessness.
In order to ensure that the information about our military's use of jet fighters is not lost, we will annihilate all 12 US warships.
The main operational intention is, first of all, to dispatch large-scale electronic jammer-3 electronic warfare aircraft to break in from high altitudes, avoid the radar detection height of the US aircraft carrier fleet, and conduct wire interference to the fleet, although this absolute height is safe for the US fleet.
Yes, but it cannot avoid our reconnaissance planes and electronic jammers.
The U.S. military has never suffered this loss before. The design of ship radar has always been developed towards long range and wide range. There has always been a bottleneck in detection height, which we can take advantage of.
Interfere with the communications of the US fleet, destroy and interfere with enemy radar equipment to a certain extent, and ensure that intelligence is not leaked.
Then we will take off an HJ-3 high-speed fighter jet as a decoy and deliberately expose it within the search range of the US military radar to attract US military jet fighters to attack. If they do not dispatch their jets, we will shoot them down. If they do, we will shoot them down.
, we will lead them into the ambush circle of our HL-1 jet fighter squadron, and let our jet warships and US military jet fighters have a first battle.
Subsequently, regardless of the outcome of the confrontation, we will take off the superior aircraft fleet and carry out a devastating air attack on this squadron. In order to ensure the speed of the operation, we will be allowed to use the air-launched Sturgeon 1 anti-ship missile."
After the combat plan was briefly explained, the detailed combat missions were naturally distributed and explained by the chief of staff. Ge Yunsheng stood up and said: "Comrades, this battle may seem small, but it is the first jet fighter battle between China and the United States.
The world's first collision of advanced jet fighters. The Germans have the Stormbird, but the British Meteor is too weak and powerful. Let's give our Pacific Fleet a good start in the history of world air combat."
Ge Yunsheng's idea is very simple. Victory is needed, and experience is also needed. Then it is very simple. Send 50 jet fighters. However, the American aircraft carrier squadron only has one main aircraft carrier that has the conditions to take off jet fighters. Then, it
Even if it is stretched to death, it cannot hold 40 aircraft. This is the result of strict analysis by the staff.
Let the same number of fighter jets have a try with the Americans' babies first, stop when enough is enough, and swarm them. When there is no difference in quality and no cross-generational boundaries, quantity and technology can decide everything.
As the order was issued, the combat sirens on the five large aircraft carriers Huangdi, Dashun, Dachu, Daqi, and Dayan were sounded, although it was not unified by the entire fleet.
action alarm sound frequency, but also provoked an immediate response.
The first aircraft carriers Dashun and Daqi to prepare for takeoff are the -3 electronic jammers. Their huge models, excellent high-altitude performance, and large range allow them to fly at high altitudes temporarily and safely in this era.
.
As the two -3 electronic jammers started up, the aircraft trembled as if it would fall apart at any time, but in the end it was still pulled up in front of the safe takeoff line. The two electronic jammers, which were huge compared to ship fighters,
The combat aircraft had quickly taken off and rushed to an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters above the target sea area to stand by.
Then the Sea Dragon jet fighter appeared.
One after another, the Sea Dragon fighter jets were quickly lifted up from the hangar through the elevator. Since the folding wings were also used, the staff quickly moved the aircraft to the takeoff preparation area. While opening the wings, they inspected the aircraft and refilled the fuel.
, this series of processes is very cumbersome, but because of enabling that
A group of deck ground crews who have been trained to take off jet fighters are extremely agile. The soldiers who are waiting for the propeller fighters not far away are full of envy. Jet fighters are no longer a secret on the aircraft carrier. After all, they are so
I saw the big guy taking off and landing.
And for these sailors who are loyal to their country and even fly to warships all year round, nothing is more important than loyalty and honor.
On the deck of the Huangdi aircraft carrier, the first Sea Dragon jet fighter No. 55 is ready.
As the fighter pilot in the cockpit made an OK gesture through the glass cockpit, the deck takeoff and landing commander waved the signal flag, and the Sea Dragon fighter No. 55 quickly started.
"Rumble..."
It was a completely different take-off method from that of a propeller fighter. The jet engine ignited instantly and turned on the afterburner. A line of fire spurted out from behind Hai Long's butt, and then it pulled up and took off in just two or three seconds.
, the whole process is ten times smoother than when a propeller aircraft starts slowly, the propeller accelerates, starts, and takes off slowly.
Although this was not the first time Hailong took off, it was the first time it participated in actual combat, and everyone cheered.
"Long live!! Long live the navy, long live the sea dragon!!"
The strong power of jet fighters, the domineering take-off, the more streamlined design, the faster speed and the better climb rate compared to propeller aircraft are so obvious in the eyes of these sailors. People who deal with aircraft every day take a look at it.
You know what a huge role these guys who took off just now will play in the sky.
At this time, a total of 50 Sea Dragon jets in two waves had taken off. After completing the second formation in the air, they quickly flew towards the target sea area.
…
On the USS Maine, the flagship of the US 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron, the commander of the squadron, Rear Admiral Nick, was looking into the sky with a telescope. In the lens, several shining silver fighters were flying over quickly.
"How far are we from the Hawaiian Islands?"
Major General Nick asked intently.
"General, we are still 320 nautical miles away from the Hawaiian Islands. We contacted Hawaii five minutes ago. General MacArthur asked us to speed up our return and sent a land-based air force to escort us."
The adjutant reported the situation faithfully.
"There are still five Poseidons that have not landed. These guys are really precious. If most of our aircraft carriers are equipped with such ships and aircraft in two years, what will the Chinese or Germans have to fear? Perhaps,
Maybe their jet fighter will be a rival."
Major General Nick was responsible for the ocean-going test mission of the new aircraft this time. He was naturally no mediocre person. He put down the telescope and said to himself, "Contact the direction of Hawaii again and report our position. The test mission has been completed. The Chinese fleet may discover us at any time. We
Can't take any chances."
However, although the cautious Rear Admiral Nick understood the importance of the 15 F-86F Poseidon jets on his aircraft carrier, he did not know that two black jets were not far away at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Rumo's large electronic jamming aircraft is lowering its altitude and is on the spot.
After analyzing the radio frequency of the U.S. fleet and adding multiple frequency bands, high-power interference equipment has been turned on. A series of destructive radio waves with the same frequency but much higher intensity and voltage are attacking the U.S. ships.
High-power radar carries out high-intensity destructive interference.
The two large-3 electronic jammers basically concentrated the most advanced electronic technology of the Republic. Only a few dozen were manufactured, and the number that could be put on the shelves was even smaller. However, for this mission, two were dispatched.
It is enough to interfere with the US military's less advanced ship radar.
Soon, Major General Nick received the report.
"Report to the general, we seem to have encountered some problems with our wire and electrical equipment." The adjutant reported the fault faithfully. Just when he was about to generate power in the direction of Hawaii, he was reported to the wire room to be abnormal.
"Huh? Abnormal?" Major General Nick couldn't help but frown slightly. There was an abnormality in the main line electrical room. It was a mechanical equipment failure or enemy interference. In any case, he still issued the most stable order, "Turn on the backup line equipment and contact us again."
From the direction of Hawaii, report our position and ask the air escort fleet to speed up and move closer to me."
"yes."
However, this time, before the adjutant left the command room, he was bumped into by an officer running towards him. He didn't even bother to get angry, but the other officer got angry first.
"Jesus, General, our radar is malfunctioning, it's covered in damn snow..."
This officer seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem. As the commander, Major General Nick was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot.
To be continued...
