Chapter 1785 Attack to Intercept

With the roar from the tail, Ted pushed the throttle stick to the maximum, the flames at the tail turned orange, released the brakes, and the fighter plane was on the icy runway, rolling quickly, the flames at the tail will The ice melted, revealing the snow-white, specially made concrete below.

The two Stormbird fighters quickly pulled up. After the formation took off, they turned to the southwest during the climb, and under the guidance of the ground radar, they rushed towards the target.

Ted's mood was calm.

Generally speaking, soldiers who experience combat for the first time will have an inexplicable excitement, but Ted is not, his heart is very calm, just like the previous flight training.

In contrast, Carl, the lead pilot in front, was a little excited. He came, and finally came. The last air battle was not enough. This time, he can finally have a good fight!

Killing their reconnaissance plane, firing three shots, one hit, this is the goal Carl set for himself.

In the past, Carl was Nowotny's wingman. Almost a lot of the time, he flew behind Novotny's ass to protect his rear hemisphere. There were few opportunities to fire. Now it is different, he has Promoted to captain.

This time there must be a victory!

The two planes climbed to a cruising altitude of 14,000 kilometers, started normal cruising, and rushed towards the target.

They left Greenland and flew to the southern part of Davis Strait, the northwest corner of the Atlantic Ocean.

Below is the blue sea, and two silver-white fighter planes are flying lightly, getting closer and closer to the target.

At this time, Ted looked at the sky in the distance with his sharp eyes, hoping to find the target from the clear sky.

Ordinarily, in a clear sky, he should be able to see the planes in the airspace 30 kilometers away.

At this moment, in the radar station at the rear, the radar soldiers were also staring at the screen tightly, not daring to blink. On the screen, the bright spot suddenly began to turn around.

"Attention, attention, the target is turning to flee, the target is fleeing to the southwest." Nowotny's words came over the radio: "Go after it, kill it!"

No plane can escape the interception of jets. The fastest propeller planes can fly to 700 kilometers per hour, which is already very against the sky, but jets can easily fly to 1000 kilometers per hour.

As long as one's own side wants it, the other side will never be able to escape!

"Attention, you are about to fly out of the radar monitoring area, be careful." At this moment, Novotny's voice continued to come.

The ground-based warning radar has a search distance of about 300 kilometers in the air, so it is easy for them to fly out of this range. After all, with the speed and range of a jet, around 500 kilometers is the most common.

This is not too dangerous. Radar is a new thing. There was no radar in the past, so there is no need to take off and fight?

Radar is just an aid, that's everyone's opinion.

"Got it." Carl shouted over the radio, "We'll definitely catch up!"

At this point, Carl could already visually see a clear bright spot in the sky in the distance, it was the fleeing enemy plane!

Still want to run?

"Gummy, keep up," Carl called to his wingman on the radio.

Ted can only laugh at this radio nickname. During the flight training in the past few days, those so-called flying veterans have found that no matter what movements, Ted, a rookie, can keep up with it, just like a gummy, sticky. In the back, so, gave Ted the nickname Gummy Candy.

Ted didn't like it, didn't disagree, what it was called was secondary, as long as it could fight.

Ted has also seen the bright spot in the distance. I don't know why, when he saw this bright spot, he always had a strange feeling that something was wrong!

The speed of the other party is not fast, only about 400 kilometers per hour. In the eyes of a jet flying at about 1,000 kilometers per hour, it is as slow as a snail.

Soon, the target gradually became clear. What appeared in front of him was no longer a bright spot, but an outline. Immediately, Ted shouted in the radio: "They are not one plane, but four!"

The resolution of radar is not high. When flying in dense formations, a bright spot will appear on the radar. Even in later generations, this is one of the most common tactics.

I felt that the other side was fighting, and my own side dispatched two fights, which should be more than enough. As a result, when I got to the front, it turned into four fights, and the advantage turned into a disadvantage.

This is like a luxury car that scratched with a Wuling van. Two bodyguards got off the luxury car, trying to save face, but more than 20 people got off the Wuling van. This scene is spectacular.

Although he saw that there were four opponents, Carl was not afraid, but even more excited. What was he afraid of, the more opponents there were, the more records he would have!

"Visually it's a P-51 Mustang, the main American fighter." Ted continued to shout on the radio.

When he saw it was a Mustang, Karl was even less afraid. This kind of plane can't do anything, it's not as good as the U.S. Navy's Inverted Seagull. At least the Inverted Seagull can climb very fast, and this kind of plane can't do all the performance. It can climb even FW190. Can't compare, let alone a jet.

At this moment, the four target Mustang fighters suddenly separated into two groups, and then began to dive down.

"Gummy, let's fight two each!" Carl yelled over the radio.

Now they only have two fighter planes. The other party clearly discovered them and wanted to escape separately. If the lead plane and the wingman were still in formation, they would definitely let go of two planes. Carl was not reconciled.

At the same time, it also gives Ted a chance. Generally speaking, the wingman rarely has the opportunity to fight directly. Now throwing two planes to Ted is to let Ted win the first time. For his own wingman, Carl is Very satisfied.

Hearing that they had to deal with them separately, Ted was stunned for a moment, and the lead plane was flying in formation.

However, in the air, the wingman must obey the commander's command. In the current situation, it seems that separation is the most appropriate.

So Ted didn't hesitate any longer and swooped down.

Carl to the left, Ted to the right, and they swooped down toward the two twin formations.

If you hit and run, and don't fight with them in the horizontal plane, what can be the problem? Depending on the situation, the other party must want to dive to the sea and use their good horizontal maneuverability to get rid of it. Ted remembered the fighting skills of the past few days, and he was prepared in his heart, and then dived down.
