Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 362: Massacre of F4U!

Wei Yongguo and his wingman stared at a Rogue Eagle Corsair fighter and locked onto its radar.

The ever-shortening distance prompt on the fire control radar made Wei Yongguo's adrenaline rise to the extreme!
7 km!

5 km!

A beeping sound came from the radar, "Fire!" Wei Yongguo roared, and he and his wingman pilot pressed the missile's fire button without hesitation!
This was the first time that air-to-air missiles were used in combat, and Wei Yongguo and his team chose the two-plane concentrated fire method to fire the first shot!
Under the wing of the J-5A, a PL-5 air-to-air missile ignited and detached from the rack. After falling for dozens of meters due to inertia, it quickly accelerated wildly due to the rapid burning of rocket propellant. In an instant, it surpassed the J-A fighter and rushed straight towards the opponent like a thunderbolt!
The clouds were thick and foggy, and soon the PL-1 disappeared into the clouds.

Wei Yongguo and his wingman slowed down, their four eyes fixed on the small screen of the fire control radar.

The infrared guidance used by PL-2 actually exceeds the level of PL-8 air-to-air missile in the historical time and space of the main world. Its effective range exceeds 3500 kilometers and its maximum speed exceeds 3 kilometers per hour, which is almost close to Mach !

The overall weight is similar to the original version, still maintained at more than 80 kilograms.

The high-speed flying PL-2 air-to-air missile found the target in about 6 seconds, and the two missiles arrived almost at the same time and hit the F4U fighter head-on!

F-4U Corsair
On the other side, the pilot of the attacked Rogue Hawk F-4U fighter jet didn't notice anything unusual until the missile was several hundred meters away, but he didn't have time to figure out what it was.

Two PL-1 missiles hit the nose and fuselage one on the left and one on the right with two loud bangs.

The violent explosion meant that the Rogue Eagle pilot had no time to parachute, and the entire front half of the fighter plane was blown to pieces!
A large target prompt information immediately appeared on the radars of Wei Yongguo and his wingman.

"Hit it! Commander, hit it!" the wingman pilot shouted in surprise.

This is the scattered debris reflecting under radar and turning into information similar to a large bomber target.

"Never mind it, 20° to the right, next one!" Wei Yongguo was excited, but he immediately calmed down, "Aim at the next one, you go first!"

After the first target was destroyed, Wei Yongguo gained confidence and wanted to try whether he could kill the opponent alone.

After all, they only carried a few PL-4 air-to-air missiles, with only four under each wing!
In the air, the two J-5As made a beautiful right turn and soon locked onto the second Rogue Eagle's F-4U fighter in the radar field of view!

As the distance was already very close, the wingman pilot who locked onto Wei Yongguo immediately opened fire!
A PL-5 missile under the wing of the other side of the J-A fighter ignited and detached.

"Captain, I'm firing!" said the wingman excitedly.

It feels so cool to be able to shoot down an enemy plane while chatting and laughing.

Wei Yongguo kept the direction of the radar lock fixed, staring closely at the locked Rogue Eagle fighter. If the wingman missed, he would make a second move!

A few seconds passed in a flash, and the radar screen flashed, showing that a large target had been discovered!

KO!

Wei Yongguo clenched his fists.

Facing the Rogue Eagle F-4U fighter that was unaware and did not perform evasive maneuvers, the infrared homing function of the current PL-4 air-to-air missile was simply an impeccable killer. The huge engine heat source on the nose of the F-U was as dazzling as a guiding light, attracting the PL- to rush into the flame!
"Everyone, pay attention!" Wei Yongguo verified his idea and switched from the wingman team channel to the public channel.

"Each team should lock onto the target and fire a single shot. The other team should focus on finishing off the enemy. Increase the distance between us and the enemy aircraft and look for opportunities to attack head-on. One shot is enough. Don't waste our precious missiles!"

"Repeat, keep your distance and look for opportunities to attack head-on. One person attacks while the other one finishes. After you hit the target, the radar will briefly show that a large target has been found. Be careful to identify it."

"Commander, we have discovered that this type of missile is incredibly powerful. Our combat team has already shot down two of them. This missile is really useful. Can we ask our comrades in the military industry to find a way to add a few more of them? If we have ten, our regiment can definitely defeat them." A pilot said excitedly.

Sure enough, the pilots of the 1st Air Regiment were not rule-abiding people.

The first wave was still honestly following the tactical arrangement, but seeing that the effect was so good, no one missed the first wave of attacks, and immediately some smart people started to try the single-shot mode!
Soon I discovered that a single shot was like shooting a bird, and the enemy plane was hit without realizing it.

Now that the team leader has made arrangements, even those who were slow to react have come to their senses.

After approaching the enemy aircraft group, he did not choose to rush over and fight with bayonets!
Instead, it chose to fly sideways and make a large turn, thus regaining the distance from the Rogue Eagle fighter.

The F4U fighter pilot on the Rogue Eagle side who was still remaining in the clouds was a little panicked at the moment.

Because they kept calling other teammates, they found that many of them did not respond!

It was as if it had disappeared directly into the clouds. This strange situation had never happened before, and no one knew what had happened now.

Having never seen a missile attack, most of them did not know that a fighter plane could be destroyed in an instant, leaving the pilot with almost no time to react.

Especially in a head-on hunt, the Rogue Eagle pilot would be killed before he could react to the abnormality.

As a result, they were all too late to report this abnormal situation. The thick clouds covered the sky and the one-sided hunt.

Relying on the powerful airborne radar of this era, the First Air Regiment destroyed the panicked Rogue Hawk F4U fighters in the air one after another!
Relying on its bright radar eyes in the clouds, the J-5A achieved a decisive kill on the F4U carrier-based aircraft wing!

For the F4U carrier-based aircraft wing, today is the saddest and darkest day in history, because an entire wing never returned after taking off!
Amid the frantic calls from the aircraft carrier's command room, no pilot answered their calls!
Because everything happens so fast, for the J-5A, destroying a fighter plane now only takes a few seconds!

Compared with the long dogfights with machine guns that often take more than ten minutes or half an hour, the emergence of air-to-air missiles has redefined air combat!
Radar lock, fire, and then next!
Such a simple process directly wipes out the technical experience accumulated by pilots in the propeller fighter era!
The tremendous advancement in technology has minimized the role of personal combat experience!

However, after completing the final blow to the F4U carrier-based aircraft wing, the st Air Regiment also began to return to prepare to replenish ammunition and fuel.

Although the battle was not long, the J-5A had short legs. It had just been rushing on the road and was running at full speed. Its range of several hundred kilometers could only be replenished after each battle.

This is a weakness that the turbojet engine cannot overcome at this stage. However, the turbojet engine will soon have a second generation, because Ren Zhong has brought back the first generation of high-temperature alloy technology.

After the material breakthrough, the potential of turbojet engines will be further tapped.

By that time, with the increase in onboard fuel, the cruising range of the new generation J-5B will be greatly increased. If the use of auxiliary fuel tanks is combined, it will not be a big problem for the fighter to take off and fight with a cruising range of more than 1200 kilometers.
