Chapter 1350: 1351 Changes in the Qin Air Force
Chapter 1350 1351 Changes in the Qin Air Force
Wang Hai handed the report he wrote to his commander. He recently shot down three more Qin aircraft. This number is actually very rare.
Due to the huge losses, the Qin State actually rarely took off its own fighter jets to fight against the Tang Army's aircraft. Even if it did, they were sporadic sneak attacks, and the results were very limited.
This makes it impossible for the pilots of the Tang Army to continue to significantly improve their results. They can only occasionally encounter some targets. Even most fighter pilots choose to mount ground-attack rockets and perform ground attack missions. to increase their “role”.
Relatively speaking, the number of aircraft performing air security missions is being reduced bit by bit. Wang Hai has been performing similar missions because of his outstanding capabilities.
It is precisely because of this that he discovered some clues and wrote such a report that interested his commander very much.
"Are you sure what you found is not an exception?" The captain typed the report in his hand very interestingly and asked the super ace standing in front of him, his most valued subordinate Wang Hai.
Because of Wang Hai's existence, his fighter group is a model for the entire army. He himself is a star in the air force, which makes him attach great importance to Wang Hai's report.
“No, the other side is indeed deliberately experimenting with evading our Thunderbolt missiles. Although it is very clumsy, they are indeed trying in this regard.” Wang Hai said with great confirmation.
“The other side uses distance to observe each other. If we launch Thunderbolt missiles, they will immediately start violent maneuvers.” He encountered such tactics in a battle a few days ago.
It’s just that the opponent’s reaction had no effect. The infrared-guided missile locked onto the target very easily and accurately hit the target during the opponent’s violent dive.
The Tang Army’s infrared missile seeker is an improved second generation, and the possibility of simple interference is much reduced. At least the opponent's method of flying towards the sun won't have much effect.
A tactic like the MiG's vigorous maneuvering and then flying toward the sun requires speed to fight against this type of infrared missile. It's a pity that Qin's aircraft neither have infrared jamming bombs nor are they very fast.
Qin's jet fighters are the first generation of early jet fighters. Their performance is actually only slightly better than that of propeller fighters, and they cannot cope well with the pursuit of second generation jet fighters.
However, Qin's pilots were still using the most **** methods to find ways to counter the technological superiority of the Tang Empire's air force. They took off in small numbers, and then tried their best to find the weaknesses of the Tang Air Force.
The last few times Qin’s fighter jets have taken off, they have all adopted ultra-low-altitude flights. This was a method they found out accidentally, because it could greatly reduce Tang Jun's reaction speed.
The radar of high-altitude early warning aircraft needs to filter out ground clutter. The TA-183 fighter jet itself is a small fighter jet. It does have a certain degree of "stealth" capability despite the fact that Tang's radar itself is not particularly advanced.
This kind of ultra-low-altitude flight can indeed have the greatest impact on the air dispatch and command of the Tang Empire. However... it also makes it easier for these Qin fighter jets to crash on their own.
After several accidents, the Qin State found a more compromise solution: they would enter the battlefield at an altitude of more than 200 meters. Anyway, the ground forces of the Tang Empire had almost no anti-aircraft weapons.
Coupled with Qin's own Stukas and P40 fighter jets equipped with bombs, Qin more or less found a "tactic" for sneak attacks. Under normal circumstances, the opponent will move in and out quickly, hitting and running. Fly close to the ground and avoid encounters with patrolling fighter jets from the Tang Empire as much as possible.
And if they really encounter the Tang Army's fighter jets, Qin's 183 fighters will quickly raise their altitude to about 1,000 meters, and then use the less effective circling dog fight to cover the departure of their own Stuka and P40 fighters as much as possible. .
"Although they are very clumsy, they are really thinking of a way. Yesterday, they started to use hedging to hide their tail flames as much as possible." Wang Hai continued to report what he had seen.
After losing a large number of aircraft, the pilots of the Qin Army also summed up some experience and lessons. For example, they discovered that the Tang Army's air-to-air missiles always seemed to attack from behind.
Such an attack method reminds them of their own tail flames, so in recent air battles, Qin fighter pilots are always willing to use their noses to face the enemy and engage in hedging operations with Tang Army aircraft.
Even though such a choice has almost no chance of success when their maneuverability is inferior to that of the Tang Army, the Qin pilots are indeed working hard to find opportunities to compete with the Tang Army's pilots.
"It's really tricky. The opponent's tactics are giving us a headache." The captain put down Wang Hai's report and sighed with some depression: "The opponent is not dead, they are also changing. Recently, their propeller fighter jets appeared at low altitude. It’s really troublesome for us.”
“Thunder attack aircraft that originally provided ground support have now begun to participate in local air defense missions.” As the commander of a fighter unit, this situation is simply a shame for him.
The attack aircraft and helicopters that his fighter group wanted to protect were now forced to defend themselves. This was a naked slap in his face.
"Now the mission of the bomber unit has focused on finding and destroying the opponent's field airports... Since the opponent has changed their tactics, we also need to make certain changes." The captain said and looked at Wang Hai: "As for the You...I have applied, go back to the rear, receive new weapons and equipment, and conduct adaptive training..."
"I understand." Wang Hai nodded. His role on the front line is indeed not big anymore. The enemy rarely moves in the area he is responsible for. He can only shoot down one enemy plane on average for several days now. This efficiency is actually very low.
So, it may be a better choice to take the time now to go back and receive new equipment to gain greater advantages in the future and expand your record.
“I heard that the Army is discussing the rapid equipment of anti-aircraft weapons. The situation will become clear soon...” The captain comforted Wang Hai. For a front-line ace pilot, it would obviously be somewhat disappointing to return to the rear.
Wang Hai adjusted his mood, stood at attention, saluted and assured his superior: "Captain, don't worry, I will be back soon after I go back..."
"I believe this." The captain nodded and said firmly: "I estimate that it will only be a few months at most."

Updates have resumed. I cannot make up for the missed updates recently. After all, my wife has not been discharged from the hospital yet, but her condition has improved a bit. So I can only resume updating temporarily, sorry.
