Chapter 22 Aerial Fighting
Air combat tests not only the pilot's flying skills, but also tactical thinking, reaction ability and psychological endurance.
Yang Luo's current flying skills are comparable to those of pilots who have been in the army for one or two years.
However, his mental endurance and reaction ability are quite strong, otherwise he would not dare to fly around and take dangerous maneuvers, and he evened it out at low altitude. In addition, I read the book "Fighter Air Combat: Tactics and Maneuvering" some time ago, and I was deeply inspired.
The battle in the sky continued. The two J-7Gs flew at high speed, from high altitude to low altitude, and then from low altitude back to high altitude.
The No. 862 J-7G in front, that is, the Vultures of the 123rd Regiment, tried every means but still could not escape Yang Luo's pursuit.
He almost managed to escape several times, but in the end Yang Luo used his strong reflexes to bite him in time.
"I basically figured out his strength, and I hope to defeat him." Despite the high overload, Yang Luo still looked calm and thought silently.
After a short and fast pursuit, Yang Luo basically figured out the strength of his opponent.
Understanding your opponent's strength is crucial in battle and will help you win.
The performance of the two fighters is the same. Blind pursuit will not allow you to win quickly, unless the opponent makes a mistake, or there is a huge difference in technology between them, and the opponent's technology is weaker than yours, which is obviously impossible.
Therefore, if Yang Luo wants to win, he must find other ways.
That is to induce the other party to make mistakes.
Yang Luo did not hesitate, he just did what he thought of. He immediately pulled the stick back with his right hand, raised the nose of the aircraft, turned on the afterburner device, and accelerated the climb.
The pilot of Fighter 862, Vulture, who was always paying attention to Yang Luo, thought he had an opportunity and immediately made a sharp upward turn maneuver in an attempt to turn the nose of the aircraft and gain altitude at the same time.
"You made a sudden ascent and turn. You made a mistake."
Yang Luo had been watching the J-7g ahead from the side glass. When he saw that the opponent made a mistake just as he expected, he narrowed his eyes slightly and seized the opportunity without hesitation.
Opportunities are fleeting and there is no room for hesitation.
The opportunity lies at the moment when the opponent climbs up. If the opponent successfully turns around, the situation will be out of control and Yang Luo will no longer be in control.
Press the stick, step on the rudder, pull the fighter out of the climb, and dive in the direction of the vulture.
The vulture was startled. He had thought that this was Yang Luo's deliberate move, but he didn't expect that Yang Luo's reaction was so fast and the dive angle he chose was so tricky.
He is also climbing now, and it is he who will actively send himself into the opponent's radar range.
The Vulture's original idea was to turn the plane around, so that even if it couldn't gain the upper hand, at least it would be evenly matched, instead of having to run away and evade like now.
"Which pilot from the 122nd Regiment is this? He reacted so quickly." The Vulture had no choice but to continue climbing, and it could not turn its nose around, so it had no choice but to continue to evade.
Big beads of sweat flowed down his face.
The previous chase with 836 had already endured a large amount of overload, which consumed a lot of the vulture's physical strength. Being chased by Yang Luo again made him even more exhausted.
Today's vultures are panting violently, greedily breathing in the oxygen provided by the onboard oxygen supply equipment.
Helpless, very helpless.
Halfway through the sharp upward turn, a large amount of speed has been lost, and the vulture can only choose to press down and dive to make up for the lost speed.
And this is exactly what Yang Luo wants. The reason why he chooses not to take the initiative to illuminate it himself, but to let the opponent take the initiative to send it into the scope of his radar, is to force the opponent to dive in exchange for speed.
Yang Luo dived before the vulture, so he had an advantage in speed. Coupled with his advantage in height, the vulture was almost in danger of escaping.
But an old flyer is an old flyer after all. His flying experience, skills and psychology are absolutely excellent, and he did not panic after falling into Yang Luo's trap.
Through various maneuvers during the dive, with his rich experience and superb skills, he managed to escape, leaving Yang Luo no chance to lock on for more than three seconds.
"As expected of an old bird, he can still make up for his mistakes." Yang Luo sighed, with a smile on his face.
Yang Luo was not worried at all. He was sure to win this battle. He now had an absolute advantage, and it was almost impossible for the opponent to come back.
The chase begins again.
attack.
Attack violently.
This time Yang Luo bit harder and attacked more fiercely, which made the vulture unable to deal with it and almost got hit several times.
"I'm going to do a tail rush maneuver. I'm being forced into a panic." Yang Luo almost shouted when he saw the vulture's maneuver.
This is an over-stall maneuver, and one of the few over-stall maneuvers that the J-7g can do.
The tail rush maneuver can intercept Doppler radar tracking. To put it simply, it means to pull up at a large elevation angle, decelerate to zero, and then dive with afterburner at a large angle.
This is an action performed at low altitude and has certain risks.
Yang Luo did not panic. He now had a height advantage. When he saw the opponent climbing at a large elevation angle, he immediately responded and pulled the lever to climb.
The action performed by Yang Luo was half a jindo. When the fighter plane reached its highest point and was in inverted flight, Yang Luo did not continue with the jindo operation. Instead, he chose to press down the nose of the aircraft and dive at a large angle.
Because Yang Luo has the advantage of speed, when Yang Luo dives, the vulture is also diving to gain speed, which just gives Yang Luo a chance to attack.
Lock on the 862 fighter jet and illuminate it with radar.
"drop!"
Suddenly, a sharp and urgent warning sound sounded in the cockpit of Fighter 862.
"Good boy, your reaction is too fast. I can't even get rid of you with a tail dive." The vulture, with sweat dripping down its face, hurriedly rolled in a dive, trying to escape from the lock.
This time the Vulture had a hunch that no matter what conventional maneuvers he used, he would not be able to escape the locked attack from the fighter planes behind him.
Unless a stall maneuver is made again, the altitude does not allow it and the aircraft performance does not allow it.
The warning sound that had stopped for a second sounded again. No matter how he maneuvered, the warning sound continued intermittently.
If you choose the wrong maneuver, your speed will be insufficient, and your flight will be slow and you will be like a living target.
If you lose with one move, you lose the whole game.
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
The fire control radar will continue to shine for three seconds to complete the attack and win.
This was Yang Luo's first formal aerial combat. Compared with previous combats at the training base, it was simply not on the same level.
This battle was hearty and hearty.
Yang Luo pulled the lever and pulled fighter No. 845 out of a dive attitude and returned to level flight.
I had been highly concentrated just now and didn't feel anything. Now I won the victory and relaxed my spirit, and then I felt completely exhausted.
Flying a fighter jet in the air is extremely physically demanding, not to mention the fact that it has to withstand high overloads from time to time in aerial combat.
Before coming up today, Yang Luo had already flown up and down, and before he had time to rest, it was followed by an aerial fight. It would be strange if he wasn't tired.
A fighter plane flew to the left side of fighter No. 845 to accompany it. The distance was only about 20 meters.
Yang Luo looked sideways and saw that the aircraft number 862 was the Vulture that he had just defeated.
"845, I don't think I've seen you before, and the previous pilot of 845 was not you." Immediately, a strange voice sounded in Yang Luo's ears, but it was Vulture who connected to his communication channel.
"I just left the tour less than a month ago. It's strange that you've seen me." Yang Luo said in his heart, but what he said was another set of words: "I'm just flying 845 temporarily. My plane is out of fuel."
"You are very powerful, can you tell me your name?"
"You can call me Sheep."
"Sheep, you are so deceptive. I will remember you. I am too tired today. See you next time." After the Vulture finished speaking, the fighter plane rolled and turned left.
"See you next time."
Yang Luo was also very tired. The sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks. He couldn't leave the joystick with his right hand because of the design of keeping his hands on the joystick, so he had to wipe the sweat on his forehead with his left hand.
"Call the tower, 845 has completed its mission and is preparing to return. It's over." Yang Luo contacted the tower.
"The tower has received it. You can return to the destination. It's over." Luo Chengbin immediately gave permission.
"clear."
I checked the fuel level with both eyes and saw that there was enough aviation fuel. I turned on the afterburner device and turned to return to supersonic speed.
Chapter completed!
