Chapter 417: Descend! Descend!
"Wuyi 01/02 understand!" The two pilots' voices were sonorous and powerful, filled with excitement before the battle.

"According to the target track tracked by our radar, your two aircraft will rush to the xxx airspace and intercept the enemy aircraft in that airspace."

The reason why we don't launch the interceptor from due west of the enemy plane is this. The enemy plane is flying south, so we launch the interceptor from its southwest and rush directly to the east to intercept it. When approaching, we can enter from the side and rear.

Two pilots were flying fighter jets, approaching the xxx airspace at a high speed.

With a cruising speed of 800km/h, it only takes about half an hour for the fighter to reach the target airspace. At this time, the enemy's P-2V cannot even pass over the electronic reconnaissance ship. When they are discovered, they are still 180 kilometers away from the electronic reconnaissance ship.

With the P-2V's cruising speed of about 300km/h, they cannot fly the 180km in half an hour.

The electronic reconnaissance ship, regardless of its own safety, maneuvered to the south-east, so that they could track the enemy aircraft for a longer time.

In fact, this is not necessary. In terms of distance and time, it is enough, but they don't want to miss any opportunity.

In the P-2V, except for the crew, the rest are all electronic warfare personnel. The mission has been completed. Except for the crew and the electronic warfare officer on duty, the rest of the personnel look relaxed, as they have finally completed another mission.

They all knew that every time they went to the other side, the chances of their group being killed would be higher. The other side would definitely not be able to bear it, and being unable to do anything at the moment did not mean that they would never be able to do anything in their lifetime.

But at least this time, they returned safely. According to past experience, at this point in the voyage, the other party would no longer be able to intercept them because they could not be seen.

The electronic warfare officer on duty suddenly raised his head and said, "Sir, there was a radar signal just passing by."

This sentence immediately caught the attention of the P-2V's captain: "Continuous? Can you tell the type of signal?"

The others were also worried. In order to ensure secrecy, they carried out the mission without any escort.

The duty electronic warfare officer shook his head and said, "It disappeared very quickly and we haven't seen it since. Judging from the signal frequency, it should be the 'Turquoise' radar that the other side introduced from the north."

Captain Denzen felt relieved upon hearing this.

"Turquoise" is a shore-based radar, and its detection distance for targets at an altitude of 500 meters is much smaller than the distance between its own aircraft and the coastline.

"That could be the refraction of sky waves. Don't worry, it's okay."

As an electronic warfare intelligence commander, the electronic warfare captain has solid basic skills.

Sky waves are electromagnetic waves reflected or refracted from the ionosphere of the atmosphere. Later, the Russians made several over-the-horizon radars based on this principle, and we even copied the music station among them.

But in the 60s, sky waves were not available and the signal processing system performance was not up to par.

Although it cannot be utilized, as a professional electronic warfare personnel, the electronic warfare captain is still very clear about this phenomenon.

I heard that the signal was a "turquoise" signal, which only appeared for a moment and then disappeared. Hmm, it should be a sky wave.

For the P-2V, ground or sea clutter is also difficult for it to deal with, so it is difficult for it to detect electronic reconnaissance ships at a distance of more than 150km. Even if it finds one, it will probably just think it is a cargo ship.

"The target has entered the xxx airspace." The electronic reconnaissance ship reported the position of the P-2V to the command center. The enemy was flying very steadily. It was obvious that his flying skills were excellent. If not, he would not have been able to fly this plane and play hide-and-seek with our fighter jets in the mountainous areas on land.

In one word, this technology is stable!
A solid batch!
The flight was stable, which meant that the enemy had not discovered anything unusual. This made the comrades on the electronic surveillance ship feel relieved. The sky was gradually getting brighter, and after a while, even if they found something wrong, they would not be able to escape.

The sea is not like the mountains, it's not that easy to hide.

The two fighters continued to approach the designated airspace. The voice of the command center came from the encrypted radio: "Wuyi 01, continue to move forward along the planned route. You are still ten blocks away from the grocery store. There are no rickshaws nearby. There are five trees in front of you. Be careful to avoid them."

Wuyi 01 was the lead plane. Hearing this, he was delighted. This command proved that the enemy had not noticed anything unusual and was still trying to get into their trap. Their two planes were still 100 kilometers away from the enemy planes, at an altitude of 500 meters, and there were no other enemy planes near the designated airspace.

100 kilometers doesn’t even take ten minutes.

You little bastards! Let's see where you can run this time!
On the P-2V, the electronic warfare officer on duty raised his head and said nervously: "Sir, a radio signal has been detected. The frequency is the frequency commonly used by the other side for command communication. There are radar signals from multiple ships on the surface. The target type cannot be determined for the time being."

Captain Denzhan was a little nervous: "What did you say?"

What he was concerned about was whether the content of the call on the other end was related to himself. As for surface ships, they were very common and there was no need to worry about them unless there was a special reason. In addition to fishing, this waterway was also used by cruise ships and cargo ships.

"It's encrypted. It can't be deciphered. It's gone now."

"Oh, keep monitoring." The captain of the electronic warfare team cursed himself for being a little too nervous. They were less than 400 kilometers away from the base. It was very safe. There was nothing to be afraid of.

"Sir, the signal from the Turquoise radar appeared again, but it disappeared again soon after."

"understood."

The captain of the power station turned around and smiled at the other electronic warfare personnel: "The ionosphere is very active today. Even though it is hundreds of kilometers away, it can always reflect the radar signals from the other side. It's a pity that the ionosphere can send the signals over, but they can't send the radar over, haha!"

Just as he was halfway through laughing, the captain of the electronic warfare team suddenly turned around with a terrified look on his face, like a chicken being strangled by the neck. "Descend! Descend! Descend! Turn on the electronic jammer!"

At this time, about 2 kilometers away from the P-80V, the captain of the electronic reconnaissance ship suddenly ordered: "Turn on the high radar and continue tracking!"

At this time, the fighter jets coming from the side and rear of the P-2V were less than 50 kilometers away from the enemy aircraft. Even if the enemy had wings, it could not escape.

It is meaningless to use passive tracking anymore, and it may even lead to missed opportunities.

The electronic reconnaissance ship directly turned on the radar and continued to track the P-2V.

At the same time, the electronic reconnaissance ship took over the guidance mission of the fighter jets from the command center and constantly reported the enemy's position to the fighter pilots. The electronic reconnaissance ship could not only see the P-2V, but also its own fighter jets.

"Spring! Spring!"

"Summer! Summer!"

The closer the season is to the Chinese New Year, the closer we are to enemy planes.

This is just perfect. If we can shoot down an enemy plane, it would be like celebrating the New Year.

"The enemy planes are starting to lose altitude. They are releasing electronic jammers! They want to escape!"

Suddenly, the voice of the electronic reconnaissance ship rose octaves, and there was no time to use secret language to give commands. The main reason was that I had never done this job before, and the few secret languages ​​I had just learned from the command center were not enough in this situation.

Liao Yaoxiang: 6!

6 wool yarn, you were running away, this is chasing, they are different, okay?

"Don't worry, they can't get away! Wuyi 02, throw away the auxiliary fuel tank! You maintain altitude and pay attention to the enemy's movement! I will start the attack."

The two Wuyi 01 aircraft had already seen the enemy aircraft through the cloud holes in the hazy sky at this time, and both dropped their auxiliary fuel tanks.

Wuyi 01 tilted its nose and pounced on the enemy plane far below. Wuyi 02 followed and circled at a higher altitude.

At this time, the enemy plane was in chaos.

When the captain of the electronic warfare team realized that there was a possibility of being tracked by the imitation radar on the ship, our electronic warfare ship had already completely revealed its true colors. I won't pretend anymore!

For the ship's radar, this distance was enough to burn through the interference of the P-2V. At this moment, the ship's radar power was fully turned on, staring at the P-2V. For a moment, the alarm sounded in the enemy plane's cabin.

“Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!!!!!!”

The electronic warfare officer on duty suddenly became busy.

"Report! Continuous radar signal detected! The signal source type is 'Turquoise' radar."

"Report! Position xxx, a moving target spotted at sea, suspected to be a warship from the other side."

"Report! The source of the turquoise radar signal is consistent with the location of a moving target at sea."

However, they still did not notice the two fighter jets swooping down rapidly from the middle and high altitude behind them.

The P-2V is equipped with a radar on its belly. Regardless of whether this radar can scan 360 degrees downward, its flying altitude means that it cannot detect our fighter jets high up behind it.

But at this time, the captain of the P-2V no longer cared about this, he was frantically calling his base.

"Base, base, our aircraft is being tracked by the enemy's radar. Our aircraft is being tracked by the enemy's radar. We may be intercepted by fighter jets. We need escort. We need escort."

This tone was even more urgent and miserable than his predecessor's "give a hand, brother".

After all, in a war on the ground, if you are lucky, you can just surrender and not necessarily die. But if you are hit in the air, in the case of the P-2V, you will definitely die.

Here’s a hot and spicy bit of knowledge – two P-2Vs were shot down, and not a single person was left alive.

Feeling the situation was urgent, the P-2V captain called for help in plain language, but they were using an encrypted radio.

Liao Yaoxiang: Thief 6! !
There is an air force base on the other side of the strait, where the Black Flying Squirrel Squadron is stationed. All the planes that are disturbing us come from this Black Flying Squirrel Squadron, which has been working professionally for the Citigroups for decades.

The deputy captain of the Black Flying Squirrel Squadron, who was commanding the operation, was horrified when he heard the panicked voice of the pilot. What new weapon did the other side want to test?

Even though they were not from the same unit, they were still frightened by the two warships that were sunk not long ago. The opponent's strength was growing too fast and they were too ruthless!
Two warships and hundreds of people were sent into the sea to feed the fish in just a few minutes.

With this previous experience, he couldn't help but be more cautious about the opponent's proactive actions of attacking and looking for opportunities. What if the opponent is testing new weapons, and he asks the fighter unit to escort them, wouldn't that be a waste of time?
