Chapter 554: US-Japan Confrontation (I)


s: The description in the previous chapter is wrong.

The Air Force's dual-engine heavy combat is based on the Su-35, replaced by the engine and avionics of the F15.

In addition, a conformal fuel tank similar to the F15 can be added, so the appearance is still closer.

Su 35.

Our family is military-illiterate, you have to understand, ╮╭ Please vote for a 6000-word chapter What these pilots don't know is that there are actually more than two types of new fighter aircraft of the Air Force.

There is also a heavy-duty fighter with better performance that is undergoing test flights.

This is Chengdu's J-16 "Cloud Eagle", a long-range coupled canard triangle.

The main wing is an advanced fighter jet with integrated wing body.

It has a longer range and combat capability than Efei's J-12 "War Eagle".

However, Chengdu Aircraft made the same mistake when developing the J-2 this time because they also adopted too many new technologies this time.

As a result, the pace was slow.

It was too big, and the prototype was always unable to fly into the sky.

The Air Force couldn't wait any longer and flew into the J-12 first.

Later, with the intervention of Mr.

Wen, the Air Force still gave them a place.

At the same time, Mr.

Wen also told Cheng Fei not to worry and continue to improve.

Therefore, this aircraft will not be ready for test flight until the end of 1940, and it will not be put into service until 1941 at the earliest.

Although Chengdu Aircraft's heavy-duty fighter jets have been delayed due to technical problems, they have also taken a big piece of the cake in this military-industrial feast.

Their J-15 "Dragon Xiao" has become the main front-line fighter of the Army Aviation.

Well, the "Dragon Xiao" is enlarged on the basis of the original "Fierce Dragon" in space and time, and then replaced with a more powerful engine, thus becoming an excellent front-line fighter.

It is not only capable of frontline cover and suppressing opponent's attack aircraft, but it can also serve as a bomb truck and cooperate with the Qiang-7 "Thunderbird" attack aircraft to attack enemy ground targets.

In addition, the Qiang 7 "Thunderbird" attack aircraft is also the work of Cheng Fei.

Its appearance is similar to the A10 of the original time and space.

It is called a "flying armored combat vehicle".

It is a land-licking artifact and a nightmare for enemy armored forces.

Of course, it is still very different from the A10.

The biggest difference is that its crazy cannon is made into a cannon pod, but it is changed from a six-barreled Gatling cannon to a single-barreled rotary cannon.

This avoids the old problem of "smoking" of the A10.

The original six-barreled gun produced too much smoke. 8 out of 10 crashes of the A10 were due to smoke swallowing.

Moreover, after the position of the cannon is changed in this way, photoelectric detection equipment can be easily installed.

In addition, the fuselage has been modified, and the wings have become similar to the shape of the "Su 39", increasing its maximum speed to 950 kilometers per hour.

Yes, the Chinese Army Aviation in this plane is different from those countries in the original time and space.

It is not only equipped with fixed-wing aircraft, but also fighter jets.

This is mainly due to the coordination problem between the military services.

This has nothing to do with technology, but purely institutional reasons.

Even the most advanced military still exists.

The air force must be expected to provide support and cover for the army at any time.

This problem will not exist even 100 years later in the original time and space. cannot be resolved.

For example, the US military in the original time and space of the 21st century has caused many own incidents because of this coordination problem.

With so many lessons in front of him, Mr.

Wen naturally would not make any detours, so when establishing Army Airlines, he provided them with all the aircraft types they would use.

Of course, due to the mission characteristics of the Army Aviation, it is definitely impossible to compare the aircraft models with the Air Force.

They do not need to seize air supremacy or carry out strategic strikes.

Therefore, it will not be equipped with strategic reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighters, and medium and heavy bombers.

The main aircraft of the Army Aviation are frontline fighters to protect itself, attack aircraft for ground support, and of course short- and medium-distance transport aircraft and tactical reconnaissance aircraft.

The fighter jets that China has completely replaced this time are all third-generation jet fighters.

They are all advanced fighter jets that use turbofan engines and advanced fire control, flight control and other avionics systems.

And because the materials, electronics, and software technology in this plane are higher than those in the 1990s or even the early 21st century in the original time and space, their performance is still above the prototype.

Some people may think that it is not cost-effective to go directly to the third-generation machine.

They think that it is too advanced and has excessive performance, which will affect the cost performance.

The second-generation machine is enough.

In fact, it is just the opposite.

It is most cost-effective to directly upgrade to a third-generation machine, and it will last for thirty years after replacement.

If we continue to follow the example of the original time and space and replace it every ten years or so, that would be a real pitfall.

To put it bluntly, if things are done properly, this batch of models can be used for more than half a century.

If they are modified, it will not be a problem for them to be used for a century.

The unit price of the third-generation machine is definitely more expensive than the second-generation machine, but once the production volume increases, the cost will naturally come down.

Besides, turbofans are more fuel-efficient and have a longer service life than turbojet.

This is truly cost-effective.

Therefore, except for the J-10 "Golden Eagle", a high-altitude and high-speed interceptor derived from the MiG-25, which continues to use turbofan engines, other new aircraft use turbofan engines that are more fuel-efficient and have longer life.

Even the "Golden Eagle" turbojet is a new type of turbojet that uses space materials.

In addition, the airframe uses new materials and the avionics system is more advanced.

Its performance far exceeds that of the MiG-25 prototype.

As for excess performance, this has never been a problem.

If you have to tie up one hand and fight with someone if you don't use it, wouldn't you be a fool?

Some people say that third-generation aircraft are not suitable for dealing with low-speed targets.

In fact, it is quite the opposite.

Only third-generation aircraft have more capabilities.

With strong combat capabilities and maneuverability, only third-generation aircraft can hit high-speed and low-speed targets together.

Second-generation aircraft with rockets are simply not suitable for dealing with low-speed targets.

Besides, although this time it was a change of equipment, not all the aircraft had been replaced.

A considerable number of turboprop aircraft designed to deal with low-speed targets also remained.

And what about "balance"?

That's an issue that only the game considers.

There is no such thing as "balance" in reality.

When the British Empire dominated the world, who was going to talk to it about "balance"?

When the United States was the dominant superpower in the original time and space, who was going to talk to it about "balance"?

Naturally, not only fighter jets will be replaced in this major upgrade, but various types of aircraft such as attack aircraft, bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, helicopters, and transport aircraft will also need to be replaced.

Of course, the urgency of these types of aircraft is lower, so the priority is slightly lower.

Stay back.

March 6, 1940, Republic 2781, Moshan Strait.

The Moshan Strait is the Mozambique Strait.

After Mozambique was taken over by Japan, it was renamed Moshan, and the name of the strait was naturally changed accordingly.

At this time, it was calm, the sea reflected the blue sky, and the bright sunshine sprinkled thousands of gold stars on the vast sea.

At this time, the roar of an engine sounded in the air, breaking the silence.

It can be seen from the gaps in the clouds that this is a group of four-engine large aircraft.

They are flying from the north, and their heading should be the mainland of Western Japan.

Anyone who is familiar with China's armaments will recognize them at a glance.

These aircraft are all H-7 "Vulture" heavy bombers, one of the signatures of the Chinese Air Force.

They are the world's first aircraft equipped with a flight management system and a glass cockpit.

This aircraft was refitted in the late 1920s and became a symbol of strategic bombers as soon as it entered service.

Well, in fact, this is a modified turboprop version of the original space-time b29 "Super Sky Fortress".

Because it adopts many new technologies and designs from later generations, its performance is far better than the b29 because it is replaced with four 3000 kilowatts and 4023 horsepower. turboprop The engine has increased its maximum speed to 720 kilometers, its continuous cruising speed to 680 kilometers, and its maximum ceiling to 14,000 meters, which is enough to make a large number of foreign fighter jets just follow it and eat dust, unable to catch up.

To be honest, if it wants to run away, even China's own fighter jets will have a hard time catching it.

Of course, it is the fighter jets that were in service at the same time as it, not the jets it is currently equipped with.

Great efforts work wonders.

Due to the use of high-power turboprops, the maximum range of the "Vulture" has been increased to 14,000 kilometers, and the maximum bomb load has been increased to 16 tons.

When it carries 5 tons of bombs, the effective combat radius reaches 4,000 kilometers.

Moreover, it is also equipped with a modified version of the extremely advanced bomb sight Norton sight.

The bomb delivery accuracy is very high, almost reaching the limit of unguided weapons.

This heavy bomber has almost become one of the symbols of the Chinese Air Force.

Although it has no chance to participate in actual combat, its performance is such that it has naturally become a symbol of the bomber.

However, China has been very tight on this kind of bomber and does not sell it for sale at all.

Even if the member states of the People's Revolutionary League want to buy heavy bombers, they can only buy the next-level H-4 "Black-necked Swan" heavy bomber, that is, The modified version of the B17 Sky Fortress still uses an air-cooled piston engine instead of a turboprop.

However, the fuselage of the group of "Vultures" in front of them was replaced with the rising sun emblem of the Japanese People's Air Force.

Obviously, these were bombers belonging to the Japanese Air Force.

If foreigners see it, they will definitely be shocked.

The Chinese actually take out their treasures.

Although it is still an internal transaction within the Federation, it is also exported.

In the cabin of the lead plane, a pilot couldn't help but said to the commander beside him: "Captain Fujino, this Vulture is really great, much better than our mountain heavy blast."

In this plane, Japan also has a four-engine heavy bomber called "Shenshan".

This is based on the H-4 imported from China, and then they used various technical equipment such as engines from China to save it.

Of course, the performance is better than The original product with the same name is better.

"Hahaha, we are the first country besides China to use this kind of advanced bomber.

The Russian Empire and Turkey are still behind," Fujino said proudly.

He couldn't help but think of the envious and jealous eyes of the representatives from Belarus, Turkey, and Persia, as well as the sour congratulations that were obviously jealous.

Thinking of these, he felt so sour.

"It's right to give it to us first.

We in Japan are the important backbone of the People's Revolutionary League.

Of course Shiro and the others have to be at the back."

Hiroi, the bombardier next to him, said.

"Captain, this should be the most advanced heavy-duty strike aircraft in the world."

"Well, of course it's the most advanced, except for China.

If they don't have better re-explosion, they won't sell the Vulture to us."

Major Fujino is relatively calm, although he doesn't know what China's new re-explosion looks like. , but based on China's usual style of analysis, if they did not have a better heavy explosion, it would be impossible to export the H-7.

"Yes, China's aviation technology is so advanced," the captain, Second Lieutenant Maeda, sighed: "With this aircraft, we can carry out cross-oceanic attacks on the homeland of the United States."

"What nonsense are you talking about?

A one-way critical strike is not bad, unless we deploy it in South America."

"The location of the mainland of the United States is great.

There are vast oceans on both sides.

It is really difficult to hit them."

Everyone started chatting about how to defeat the United States.

This is not surprising, because the relationship between the two countries has plummeted over the South African issue during this period.

Both countries have deployed heavy troops on the border, and the smell of gunpowder has become stronger and stronger.

However, the two sides have no real intention to fight.

The American comrades Cactus are now concentrating on making war fortune, and they have no intention of getting themselves involved.

You know, he implemented the New Deal a few years ago, but he owed a lot of debt to the bank and started a war with Japan.

Wouldn't that be an advantage to others?

Ghanaian comrades would not do such stupid things.

And Japan doesn't want to fight.

They are currently undergoing an unprecedented relocation project to relocate the country.

Such a large project has already caused the death of many brain cells among the big bosses.

How can they be in the mood for war?

Besides, Comrade Bei Yihui is not sure of defeating the United States as President Wen has not yet expressed his clear support.

So what both sides are doing the most now is talking and talking.

At this time, communications officer Tanaka suddenly said: "Major, Commander Takamachi wants to speak to you."

Fujino quickly picked up the intercom and said, "Mr.

Takamachi, I am Fujino."

"Fujino, does your plane carry bombs?

How much fuel does it have?"

Fujino's familiar voice came from the earphones.

This was General Takamachi Shiro, commander-in-chief of the Japanese People's Air Force.

"Yes, Chief Takamachi.

When the Chinese comrades handed over the aircraft, they gave a batch of gifts, including the eight 500kg guided glide bombs we carry on the aircraft now, which use dual infrared and TV guidance.

I am from The aircraft took off from China's Red Sea base with about one-third of the fuel remaining.

If it maintains its current speed and altitude, it can still sail about 2,000 kilometers. " "Very good.

You should change course immediately and go to the southern part of Mosugi Strait.

The specific location is xx degrees x minutes x seconds east longitude and xx degrees x minutes x seconds south latitude."

Takamachi Shiro paused and said: "Now our naval comrades We are confronting the American fleet.

Please rush to support us.

Please note that you are not allowed to fire or drop bombs without my order.”

"As ordered, Commander Takamachi.

We will go immediately to support our naval comrades."

Fujino immediately dialed the intercom to the brigade channel and issued an order to each crew: "Everyone, Commander Takamachi ordered us to immediately support the navy.

Now we immediately change the route.

The target is xx degrees x minutes x seconds east longitude and xx degrees x minutes x south latitude.

Seconds.

Attention, prepare the 500kg guided glide bomb, but no attack is allowed without orders."

In the command center of the Air Force Command, Takamachi Shiro hung up the intercom and focused on the screen in front of him.

At this time, the screen was showing the situation of both sides.

The blue cursor representing the US warships was confronting the red cursor representing the Japanese warships.

There were also some fast-moving red and blue light spots around them, which were aircraft from both sides.

In the north of the strait, the First Heavy Explosive Brigade, which he had just ordered personally, was changing course.

At this time, a staff officer came over and said: "Sir, Minister Toyota of the Navy Department called and hoped that our Air Force would send two more wings of fighter jets."

Takamachi Shiro nodded: "Well, yes, it seems that HNA's people can't hold back the situation.

Just send the 12th and 13th Wings that have just changed their uniforms."

Takamachi Shirou is a non-existent character in the original time and space, because of course the cyborg he sent to Japan does not exist in the original time and space.

Shiro Takamachi joined the Japan Science and Socialist Party very early.

He graduated from the Aviation Department of the Army Sergeant School in 1912 and entered the army aviation service in old Japan.

He was a true one of his own.

During this period, he participated in World War I and competed with Allied pilots in Europe.

He achieved 28 victories and was the famous ace of Japanese Army Aviation.

By the time of the Japanese Revolution, he had become an aviation commander.

After the success of Japan's socialist revolution, in order to better control the army, the new government removed some personnel from the army and navy, and selected some new people from party members, league members and activists, and formed the Japanese Army in December 1924.

People's Air Force.

From then on, the Japanese army became a tripartite situation with three armies: land, sea and air force.

The Air Force is the biological son of the Japanese Science and Socialist Party, so of course it has to go up on its own.

None of the old army generals are suitable to control this brand new army, so Takamachi Shiro, a veteran of the Japanese Science and Socialist Party, started flying in helicopters.

That year, he was promoted to major general and appointed chief of staff of the Air Force.

He completely bypassed the nominal commander-in-chief, Kazuo Ogasawara, and gained real power.

In 1930, Ogasawara Kazuo was transferred to the Air Force Minister, and Takamachi Shiro naturally took over as the Air Force Commander.

South of Moshan Strait.

The Japanese Air Force's 1st Heavy Explosive Group is rushing to the scene of the incident at full speed.

Fujino looked out the window of the plane and saw a vast sea of ​​clouds, like thousands of waves rising from the sea.

The rolling Yunshan and Xuling ridges are like icebergs floating on the sea.

The golden sunshine outlines these silvery mountains and towers in sharp outline.

The clouds lay low below the cabin, as if countless snow hills formed a vast white wasteland.

The sky is a different scene, bright and clear, as if there is only boundless emptiness above the blue sky.

This kind of scenery is really pleasing to the eye, and Fujino feels that he will never get tired of it.

But now is not the time to look at the scenery.

He ordered: "Lower the height and go below the clouds.

The clouds here are too dense and you can't see anything."

"Major, there is an electric detector on the Vulture.

We can use the electric detector to detect the American fleet," the radar officer said excitedly.

After using Chinese radars, he felt that those Japanese radars could be thrown away.

"Baga, I know there are electric detectives on the Vulture.

I mean the Americans can't see us."

Fujino glared at the fool and said, "We are not going to fight now, we are going to show off our force.

If the other side can't see us, what?"

Show off force” "Hai, Major" the radar officer finally came to his senses.

Soon, the 1st Heavy Explosive Group dived at a small angle and rushed down from the clouds.

"The target has been found, Major.

Bearing 112, distance 136, number of sea targets exceeds 40, and air targets exceed 100," the radar officer reported quickly.

Fujino put his face in front of the commander's observation mirror.

Looking around, I saw that the sea below was vast and boundless.

The blue sea stretched forward from below the cabin and connected with the sky.

Where the sea and the sky connect, there are dozens of beetle-sized ships, shining with little brilliance in the bright sunlight.

At this time, a group of planes also painted with the rising sun emblem sprang out from the thorn.

The pilots on the other side were obviously stunned.

They had never known that Japan had such an aircraft.

After a while, a Japanese voice came through the intercom: "Excuse me, are you a fleet of the Air Force?"

"Yes, we are the 1st Heavy Explosive Group of the Japanese People's Air Force, and we have been ordered to come for support," Fujino replied.

He recognized it at a glance as Japan HNA's Ninety-Sixth Ship Battle.

Of course, the Nine-Six Ship Battle in this plane is completely different from the product of the same name in the original space and time.

They look more like the "Gale Wind" in the original space and time, but they are larger, the body is more streamlined, and the weapons are more powerful. .

Well, it can almost be regarded as an enhanced version of "Gale Wind".

This kind of aircraft is also made by the Japanese using parts from China.

But let alone, the performance of this "compatible aircraft" is quite good.

It is not inferior to European and American aircraft, and even outperforms them.

Under the guidance of this group of 96 Ship Battles, the First Heavy Explosive Brigade quickly arrived over the fleet.

I saw the American and Japanese fleets lined up below, facing each other face to face, just like two gangs of socialists standing in the street.

The "big brother" on the Japanese fleet's side is naturally the two Yamato-class battleships in the middle of the battle line.

"Wow, it's Yamato and Musashi," bombardier Hiroi shouted excitedly.

"There are also the Kii and Owari, as well as Ise, Kaga, and Nagato.

All 20 of our battleships have arrived and there are 8 regular aircraft carriers.

Let me take a look.

They are Shokaku, Zuikaku, and Hibi He, Yunhe, as well as Dafeng, Xiangfeng, Ruifeng, and Red Phoenix have all arrived."

Fujino said with a dark face and seriously: "Hiiroi, if there is any irreversible accident with this machine, you must remember to blow up the crit sight as soon as possible.

This is the most confidential equipment and must not be leaked."

"Hai, Major, I will protect it with my life," Hiroi promised quickly.

He looked at the red handle under the sight.

It was a self-destruct device.

As long as it was pulled hard, a small bomb inside would explode in 30 seconds.

It was not powerful, but it was enough to destroy the sight.

Moreover, even if it fails, you can still use the fire axe
