Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Chapter 94: ME-262 jet fighters attack, and the aerial massacre begins

In the early morning of March 22, 3nd year of the Renshen era, at a small airport in the northern part of Chengbei, a fighter plane with a big belly taxied from the runway.

After gliding for several hundred meters, the plane raised its nose and rushed into the sky.

The reason why it is called a fighter plane with a big belly.

This is because an S-band AN/APS-20 radar is installed in the fairing under its belly.

This fighter jet is none other than the TBM-3W airborne early warning aircraft that was put into service by the United States at the end of World War II.

The detection range for low-altitude targets can reach 100 kilometers, and the detection range for surface ships can reach up to 320 kilometers.

This already has the prototype of a modern early warning aircraft.

But a prototype is just a prototype after all.

Its carrier platform is too small, with only one pilot and one radar operator, and it has no air control and command capabilities at all.

Therefore, this TBM-3W can only be regarded as an airborne radar warning aircraft.

When it detects a target, it needs to transmit the early warning information to the ground radar station via the UHF band data link, and then the ground station personnel will interpret the radar information and guide the fighter jets to attack and intercept.

Compared with truly modern early warning aircraft, it is a bit primitive, but in this era, it is already a top-level black technology.

Especially in naval battles, the maximum detection distance of 320 kilometers enables the fleet to detect the enemy from a distance and then dispatch carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack.

This information gap can enable one's own fleet to establish a huge battlefield advantage.

However, the aircraft carrier belonging to the Restoration Army Navy is still on the slipway of the naval base, so now it has been moved to land and used as an airborne radar warning aircraft.

A squadron of six TBM-6W airborne early warning aircraft are deployed at this small airport.

At present, the entire Fuxing Army Air Force is equipped with 6 early warning aircraft squadrons, all of which are directly under the command of the Air Force Command.

It will be transferred to whichever area needs it.

There are currently three squadrons around Chengbei City, with a total of 18 TBM-3W airborne early warning aircraft.

They will take turns taking off 24 hours a day to perform air surveillance missions.

Especially for Zhili, it is the key target of surveillance.

The fighter jet that took off was to carry out a patrol mission in the airspace at the border with Zhili region.

For the crew members, this was a mission that could not be more ordinary.

However, when they flew to the designated airspace for patrol, they immediately discovered the air situation.

The radar operator looked at the dense beams on the radar in front of him and his face changed immediately.

"Aerial situation detected, bearing 11, distance 97 kilometers, number over 200, flying at an altitude of 3000..."

The pilot's face changed drastically when he heard this.

More than 200 aircraft.

This is not a small number. The Fuso people have launched a general attack.

"Send the information back immediately."

Under the operation of the radar operator, the radar information was transmitted to the Chengbei City Ground Air Situation Processing Center via the UHF band data link, which is also a large radar station.

"Report, urgent air situation!"

This radar station is the ground command center for the entire Beire Province and even the surrounding areas.

After the air situation was discovered, commands were transmitted from the radar station and flown to major airports in the southern part of Beire Province.

At this moment, the second emergency air situation report came.

The patrol formation discovered a large fleet of aircraft on the edge of the Zhili Strait.

The radar reflection waves of this fleet are very strong, and the flight altitude is about 5000 meters. They are medium to large targets, with more than 150 aircraft.

Combining these two air situations, an Air Force colonel in charge of on-site command also guessed the Fuso people's combat plan.

"Haha, fighter planes took off from Zhili to attract our attention and at the same time hold back our fighter planes.

Then a group of bombers took off from Goryeo and launched an air raid on Chengbei.

Finally, we flew back to Zhili together...

I have to say that this calculation is quite sound.

But they miscalculated.”

Who are they?

They are the Renaissance Army Air Force.

Now they can proudly say that they are the world's number one air force.

There are more than 3,000 fighter jets of various types, all of which are the most advanced models.

It is the best in terms of quantity and other aspects.

In his opinion, the Japanese air raid was just a show of force.

But the other party has already attacked, so they have to do their best to intercept them.

"Woooooooo..."

"Hurry up!!!!"

When the combat alarm sounded, the pilots ran quickly towards the hangar.

Soon, a number of camouflaged ME-262 Feiyan jet fighters were towed out of the hangar.

After the pilot boarded the plane, he skillfully performed a self-inspection according to the procedures.

When it was confirmed that there was no fault, the two Jumo-004b-1 turbojet engines on the wings of the Feiyan were started.

This engine is also an axial-flow turbojet engine with a single thrust of 900 kg.

Its appearance also laid the technological route and foundation for the development of turbojet engines after the war.

Although the Meteor fighter of the same period was also a jet fighter, it was far inferior to the Swift in terms of performance and reliability.

The problem actually lies with the engine.

At that time, turbojet engines had two development paths, one was axial flow and the other was centrifugal. The Meteor used a centrifugal engine.

The ME262 Feiyan fighter jet is equipped with these two 900 kg turbojet engines, and its performance far exceeds that of propeller fighters.

Even the P-51 Mustang, the king of piston fighters, cannot be compared with it.

At an altitude of 6000 meters, its maximum flight speed can reach 870 kilometers per hour, and its climb rate can reach 20 meters per second.

The Mustang's maximum flight speed is only 700 kilometers per hour, and its climb rate is 16 meters per second. The gap is still very obvious.

In terms of weapons, the ME262 had to deal with the Allied bombers with tough skin and strong flesh.

So it is equipped with four 4mm machine guns, two with 30 rounds of ammunition and two with 100 rounds of ammunition.

Facing the Fuso people's thin-skinned fighter planes, one shot can blow one up.

The engines of the ME-262 jet fighters began to roar, making a deafening roar.

When the pilot pushed the throttle to the bottom, the speed of the ME-262 jet fighter on the runway became faster and faster.

Until the speed exceeded 200 kilometers per hour, the nose of the plane tilted up and soared into the sky.

As the first ME-262 jet fighter took off, one after another followed.

When the early warning aircraft discovered the air situation, the Fuso fighter jets had just completed their assembly in the designated airspace.

They then formed a dense battle formation and flew towards Chengbei City at an average speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

It takes half an hour to fly a distance of 100 kilometers to enter the territory of Beire Province.

At this time, the Restoration Army's air force had enough time to take off and complete assembly.

The four ME-262 jet fighter squadrons that took the lead formed a large flying formation and encircled the Fuso fighter group.

Behind the four jet groups, three more Mustang fighter groups took off.

On the other side, a total of 6 squadrons of Mustangs and Bottles also took off and headed towards the Fuso bomber formation.

Regarding this retaliatory airstrike against Fuso, Air Force Commander Cheng Shijie had only one sentence: "Let them never return!"

Deploying 13 groups and 43 squadrons of advanced fighter jets is already a great respect for the Fuso Army Aviation.

The first air battle to break out was undoubtedly in Zhili.

The junction of Zhili Province and Beire Province is the Great Wall and endless mountains.

This is also the front line of the confrontation between the Fuxing Army and the Northern Frontier Army.

The air battle broke out over the Xifengkou Pass on this line of defense.

An entire division of the Northern Frontier Army is stationed here, and it is an elite division of the direct lineage.

In the camps scattered in the mountains behind the pass, the Northern Frontier Army stared in amazement at the Fuso aircraft fleet roaring through the sky.

If they had not just received news that these were Japanese, they would have thought that it was the Restoration Army coming to bomb them.

When the Fuso fighter planes appeared, no excitement appeared on the faces of the Northern Frontier Army soldiers, including the division commander.

His expression was actually very complicated.

Using the Japanese to deal with their own compatriots was a despicable act that made them, as soldiers, feel ashamed.

Just as the Fuso Army Aviation fighter jets were about to fly over Xifengkou, the Northern Xinjiang soldiers watching the battle below clearly saw black spots quickly emerging from the clouds.

These black spots emerging from the clouds were exactly the ME-262 jet fighters from one of the squadrons.

Their appearance also caused chaos in the Fuso Army Aviation formation.

"Attack!"

The fighter planes in the front Fuso formation began to climb one by one to meet the incoming ME-262 jet fighters.

Then the entire fleet started moving and rushed over in a huge crowd.

However, at this time, ME-262 jet fighters also rushed out from several other directions.

This also caused chaos in the entire formation.

"Boom boom boom..."

As the captain of the 12th Squadron, Pan Fei took the lead and rushed into the Fuso fleet.

When the gyroscopic sight was aimed at a biplane Type 92 fighter, he decisively pulled the trigger.

As eight shells whizzed out, Fuso's Type 8 fighter plane crashed into the flying shells before it had time to react.

"boom....."

A ball of dazzling fire exploded in the air ahead.

Under the fire of 30mm machine guns, Fuso's biplane fighter was directly blown up and disintegrated in mid-air.

"It's great! It's so great!"

After feeling the tremendous power of the machine gun, Pan Fei's expression became excited and his blood began to boil.

"Da da da...."

Fuso's fighter planes also began to fight back.

However, Pan Fei's ME-262 fighter was too fast and easily escaped the range of the Fuso fighter.

Then a Fuso Type 91 fighter plane appeared in front of him, climbing.

The Fuso pilot also noticed the strange fighter plane flying towards him, and a look of horror immediately appeared on his face.

"Dong dong dong..."

Several more shells flew over.

The Type 91 fighter plane, which had predicted its route, came into close contact with the artillery shells.

Pan Fei added another victory to his record.

There were quite a few jet fighters like Pan Fei's that were rushing left and right.

Its radical attack also completely disrupted the formation of the Fuso Army Aviation.

Faced with this strangely shaped fighter, the Fuso pilots even began to panic.

"It was so fast, like lightning, there was no time to lock onto each other."

"Damn it, I'm locked in..."

"How can they fly so fast without propellers? I can't hit them at all."

As the battle continued, more and more ME-262s rushed into the fleet and joined the battle to get a share of the spoils.

It was at this time that the Fuso Army Aviation witnessed the power of the Restoration Army Air Force.
