Chapter 1335: 1336 The long-lost air battle
Air-raid sirens have been echoing over the old imperial capital in the past few days. The most boring thing for the Chinese people in the old imperial capital every day is to raise their heads and watch the Tang Army's planes hovering overhead.
The other side did not drop a large number of bombs, but occasionally dropped bombs on some sensitive military areas and destroyed some buildings that had little to do with people's livelihood.
For example, the telegraph office in the old capital, the radar stations deployed on the highlands outside the city, and some antenna equipment and material warehouses.
Today, a long-lost air battle broke out over the old capital. The common people of the old imperial capital finally enjoyed a high-standard air battle video.
At the beginning, two Thunder attack planes were hovering in the sky, followed immediately by at least ten 183 fighter jets arriving on the battlefield.
The Tang Imperial Air Force, which had not seen the Qin Air Force for a long time, immediately transferred the fighter jets patrolling the surrounding airspace, and the two sides immediately broke out in the most intense air battle near the old capital.
Wang Hai controlled his J-7 fighter jet to hover at high altitude. His infrared missile had just hit a target. The plane burned and fell, disappearing into the embrace of the earth.
But the second combat missile he launched was actually thrown away by the opponent! This is definitely a new discovery for him.
So after he regained his height, he immediately began to search for the powerful enemy. He did not want an expert who could avoid combat missiles to escape from his hands like this.
Engines roared in the sky, and two other J-7 fighter jets from the Tang Army arrived. They quickly seized a favorable position, and then launched missiles to shoot down the two Type 183 fighter jets on the periphery.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Hai drove his J-7 into the battle group again and bit the aircraft flown by the experienced Qin Army jet fighter pilot.
The opponent discovered Wang Hai and immediately began to swing, trying to avoid Wang Hai's lock. The distance between the two aircraft was instantly shortened, because the speed of the J-7 was not comparable to that of the 183 fighter jet.
Two planes roared past in the sky one after the other, and the Dahua civilians on the ground watched with great interest. They have been longing for the Tang Empire for a long time, and the Qin Empire that came out halfway is just the object of their ridicule.
Other supporting characters have been actively ignored. Everyone is interested in the two planes that can chase each other and roll over. The 183 fighter jet flying in front tried its best to get rid of the J-7 that was chasing it, while the J-7 flying behind was very steady and did not fire, but just chased, as if toying with the opponent.
In fact, Wang Hai did not play tricks on his opponents, but gave them the greatest respect. He was accustomed to firing when he was most confident, and he no longer wasted the air-to-air missiles mounted under his wings.
His wingman followed him, covering the area behind Wang Hai. With his addition, the protagonists of the chase became three.
Through the sight, Wang Hai saw the tail flames of the Qin aircraft. The aircraft kept swaying but did not make any major maneuvers.
In air combat, the person who makes the maneuver first is often targeted. Once he enters a maneuver that cannot be recovered, he will become a dead target and will be shot down by the enemy soon.
It seems that this Qin pilot has at least 1,000 hours of flying experience and has participated in actual combat. He is very cunning and has rich actual combat experience.
But, who is Wang Hai? He is the elite among the elite of the Tang Empire, the ace pilot among the aces. He has brought out more than 100 pilot apprentices over the years. Soon, Wang Hai figured out the opponent's path. He was afraid of the air-to-air missiles mounted under Wang Hai's wings, so he was so timid.
What I didn’t expect was that the improved double-delta-wing J-7 still had very good controllability even though it was not very fast. At least, it can crush any first-generation jet fighter.
With his finger on the trigger of the joystick, Wang Hai calmly locked onto the opponent through the scope. When the opponent tried to swing again, he pulled the trigger.
“Thud, tug, tug!” The cannon on the J-7 fired a series of tracer bullets, which passed through the opponent's wing, and then continued to fly into the distance.
About a second later, the wing of the Type 183 fighter jet began to smoke, and then quickly broke off. The fighter jet without a wing immediately spun and fell in the sky, and soon hit the ground.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Hai did not see any pilot parachute out of the plane. He could only fly the plane to start climbing, away from the place where the plane crashed.
On the ground, the flames that exploded when the plane hit the ground set off billowing black smoke. The fuel in the plane would not stop the flames until it was burned out.
In order to reduce weight, the 183 fighter jet used some less flame-retardant materials, and soon the entire fuselage of the aircraft was submerged in the fire.
The original design of the 183 fighter jet even had some wooden structures. These structures were changed to aluminum alloy, which increased some structural strength and improved some performance.
It's a pity that now all the aluminum has been ignited and melted, turning into a raging fire. The fire trucks from the old capital finally arrived, and the ground troops who came to rescue also moved closer.
They extinguished the fire with the siren sounding, but at this time, the aircraft had only burned to a frame, and there was dark charcoal around it.
The cockpit was so scorched that nothing of its original appearance could be seen at all. But everyone knows that there should be a person sitting there, or that there was a person sitting there.
The plane did not crash into a residential area, but crashed near a farm on the outskirts of the old capital. Next to it was a Qin Army artillery position, and someone immediately rushed over to help.
Unfortunately, the fire was so intense that these people could not get close and could only wait for the fire truck to arrive.
"He didn't parachute." On the ground, the Qin officer who came over shook his head, handed another officer beside him a cigarette, and said, "We kept watching, but no one jumped out."
"Damn it, I've been cowarded for months, and now I suddenly came out and shocked us all." Another officer took the cigarette and said angrily: "Watching them being shot down, I felt... It doesn’t feel good, it’s better not to come out, there is always hope, right?”
Everyone knows that Qin's air force cannot defeat Tang's air force, but they haven't seen it with their own eyes. After all, they still have some hope. Well now, so many planes took off, but they were all shot down, and the score was 10 to 0. Everyone's hopes were dashed, and morale must have been affected.
"I don't know who it is..." The officer who handed the cigarette shook his head and sighed.
