Chapter 885 Cutting off Your Path

On the covers of those piles of textbooks, some Chinese characters can be vaguely seen.

"……set"

"Argument……"

Mathematics exercises? On the role of fertilizers in agricultural production? I can't see it clearly. I can't see the other words clearly.

We don't expect them to learn and use it all, but a part of it is enough.
-
One day in early November, in the sky above the eastern plateau, a self-assembled Tu-11 flew again from the direction of Lancheng Airport, met with four fighters from Xueshan Airport, and flew towards the SND area.

Instructions from the command center came through the fighter leader's headset.

"Mountain Eagle 05, the radar station notifies us that there are no enemy aircraft in this airspace, but there are two enemy aircraft patrolling over the plains."

This is what makes Zang San uncomfortable. From the plains, we have no idea about the situation on the plateau and cannot see it at all. But our radar station can look down from above and see their movements clearly.

"Mountain Eagle 05 understands."

Four fighter jets led the way, followed by a Tu-16, and flew straight towards the target.

On a main road on the eastern front of Shannan, about a regiment of the enemy was crossing a bridge. Around the bridge, the enemy had deployed a large number of anti-aircraft guns, and the deployment range of the anti-aircraft guns had even extended to a range of 5 to 10 kilometers around the bridge.

They were really scared, afraid that we would blow up the bridge again. After all, the Western Front Tactical Command and the second brigade were easily defeated by us with one strike.

Having suffered a great loss, Zang San obediently deployed a large number of air defense forces around the main bridges.

"Mountain Eagle 05, the enemy planes still have no signs of finding you."

They couldn't see the sky above the plateau, but they didn't dare to rush over to the SND area rashly, for fear of our air defense or air force. Knowing nothing about the air situation in Shannan, they were afraid of running into an iron wall if they rushed up, so they only dared to circle over their own plains, which was a very uncomfortable situation.

As for relying on fighter jets in the air to spot the planes over Shannan? You're overthinking it. It's unclear whether fighter jets these days have radars. Even if they do, their capabilities are only about the same as visual range, so don't expect this to happen.

"Mountain Eagle 05 understands."

The formation continued to fly forward.

"We are 50 kilometers away from the target and are about to leave our actual control line." Mountain Eagle 05 received a call from Kunpeng 03. Kunpeng 03 was responsible for carrying out the real mission, and the four Mountain Eagles were only providing escort and cooperation.

Being 50 kilometers away from the target means that the conditions for Kunpeng 03 to drop bombs are about to be met. At the same time, it is about to fly away from the actual control line, which means that it will enter the enemy's airspace. Even if the ground air defense force does not pose a real threat to the formation flying at an altitude of more than 1 kilometers, they may discover the formation and summon the enemy's air force.

"Mountain Eagle 05 understands. Eagle group, turn on the radar!"

The PD radar for fighter jets has not been fully developed yet, but some of the technologies leaked from Gao Zhendong have been applied to the modification of the radars of old fighter jets, which at least makes the detection distance better. In any case, it is definitely better than similar products in Zang San's hands.

As the saying goes, "an inch longer is an inch stronger." It's better to turn it on than not to turn it on. Although this radar may not be much better than the eyes on a sunny day, these days the eyes can't help missiles lock onto targets.

The formation continued to fly forward.

On Kunpeng 03, the co-pilot stared at his own track and informed the weapon operator: "40 kilometers away from the target."

Weapon Operator 01 replied: "Understood, close to 5 kilometers."

This Tu-16 is equipped with two weapon operators, not for anything else but for the TV-guided bombs. One system of this thing can only control one bomb for the time being, and the extra control system is prepared for dropping two bombs at the same time.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we have to make do with whatever we can.

Even the second weapon operator was the tail gun operator, which made him very happy.

The nominal bombing range of the two bombs on the plane was 50 kilometers, which even surprised Gao Zhendong.

When Chunlei Factory called Gao Zhendong, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Chief Engineer Gao, we changed something about this bullet."

Gao Zhendong didn't have any objections. He was not absolutely right. If he felt that some things had problems in practice, they had to be changed.

"Well, if it needs to be changed, then change it. What did you change?"

"The comrades who were engaged in TV signal relaying overfulfilled the task and achieved 200 lines per second and 5 frames. We thought that in this way, the bomb would not need to fly so slowly to obtain the shortest correction distance. We added a fairing to the high-drag bomb head, combined with a better TV signal relay system, and increased the bomb's throwing distance to 50 kilometers. In addition, the aerodynamic impact on the carrier aircraft was smaller, the bomb flew faster, and the carrier aircraft was exposed for a shorter time."

"Good! Good modification!" Gao Zhendong was overjoyed. Using a high-impedance shape was a last resort. Since the TV signal forwarding could reach this level, using a low-impedance shape became a natural thing to do.

"But this will make it more troublesome when installing the kit." The comrade from Chunlei Factory felt a little embarrassed.

"This little trouble is worth it. After all, under the premise of ensuring technical and tactical performance, shortening the exposure time of the carrier aircraft and causing a little trouble for the ground crew is not a problem at all." Gao Zhendong understood this relationship and readily issued a trial license over the phone.

And today was the first trial of a television-guided glide bomb.

The comrades on the Tu-16 resolutely decided to drop bombs at 40 kilometers in order to increase the hit rate. Now, with no enemy aircraft harassment, they are further preparing to shorten the distance to 35 kilometers.

The plane was still flying forward, and the two weapons operators entered the target coordinates for each of the two TV-guided bombs.

"35 kilometers, drop bombs!"

The Tu-16 can carry four bombs under its wings, but today was the first time it was tested, so only two were hung. Anyway, only two could be controlled at the same time.

Two one-ton bombs flew off the fuselage, flipped over in the air, spread their wings, and slid forward.

The Tu-16, having lost its load, even jumped up a little.

"Turn and keep a controlled distance."

Kunpeng 03 began to turn slowly, ensuring that it was no longer flying straight forward while still being able to receive television signals.

At this time, some scattered enemy troops had already discovered the plane and began to make frantic phone calls to report the situation.

Given the reaction speed of Zang San's command system, it would probably take a long time for him to command the two enemy planes over the plain to intercept.

At an air defense position about 10 kilometers away from the target bridge, a soldier seemed to feel something was wrong.

"Did you notice anything flying through the air?"

"No, maybe your eyes are blurry."

Two glide bombs flew over the valley one after the other, continuously transmitting signals backwards.

"The signal is normal, the target has been found."

Guided by the inertial guidance device, the bomb glided rapidly towards the target area. Although it was still several kilometers away, the image of the target had already appeared on the operator's display.

This is a suspension bridge. In this terrain with high mountains and deep valleys, it is difficult to build multiple bridge piers. The advantages of a suspension bridge are very obvious. It only requires building two bridge heads. Moreover, if it is designed properly, the two supports at the two ends of the suspension bridge will not be subject to lateral forces, further reducing the difficulty of construction.

"Target, the north bank bridge pier." Weapon operator 01 once again clarified to operator 02.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the strike, the target of the two bombs is the same. The manufacturer said that this thing is not as accurate as a laser-guided bomb, so just for insurance.

"02 understands."

As for why we attacked the north bank instead of the south bank, it was because the south bank was close to the dirty third side and it was relatively easy to obtain replenishment of building materials, supplies, and personnel, and the difficulty of repair would be lower, but it was different on the north bank.

"I'll repair the bridge if you bring the materials to the north bank."

"You repair the bridge and I will transport the materials to the North Bank."

The loop is closed!
The two operators carefully controlled the aiming crosshairs on their respective screens.

They have trained many times on the simulation training software. Although it is the first time to drop live ammunition, they are still familiar with the intermittent operation feel, including the image refresh rate of 5 frames per second. The refresh rate of the simulation software can be set. In order to ensure the effect, the operators started from 1 frame and practiced many frame rates.

"The operating feel of this 5 frames per second is much better than that of 1 frame per second." The two operators had similar thoughts, but they didn't say anything as they were too busy.

The images sent back by the bombs jumped one after another, and the crosshairs had already stabilized the target's north bank bridge pier. Even in the image of the bomb behind, the rear of the previous bomb could be seen.

Brothers, 5 FPS is really enough for eSports! ! ! !
The two bombs flew 2 kilometers apart in the air. Although the bombs were dropped almost simultaneously, this was achieved through route planning during the flight, which meant that the latter bomb had about 8 to 10 seconds to observe the effect of the previous bomb.

The previous bomb was operated by No. 01. From the TV screen, he felt that the target bridge pier was jumping towards him, and it was enlarged frame by frame on the screen.

At this time, Zang San, who was standing on both sides of the bridge, saw something like a small airplane flying quickly and crashing into the root of the suspension bracket on the north bank.

They didn't even have time to shout in panic before a huge explosion sounded at the north bank pier. Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and the pier began to shake, tottering and slowly falling down.

Zang San, who was close by, was completely unconscious even if he was not killed by the shock. Some of the warriors who were far away did not care about the flying flesh and blood and the buzzing tinnitus, and ran two steps towards the bridge pier, raised their hands as if they wanted to hold up the bridge, and then stopped dejectedly.

This one-ton giant is equivalent to a 1-pound bomb of the Citigroups, and its power is extraordinary.

"Hit!" The low roar of operator 02 came from everyone's headset. He didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of affecting the movements of his hands.
