Chapter 1783: Interception

With the roar coming from the tail, Ted pushed the throttle stick to the maximum, the flame at the tail turned orange, released the brakes, the fighter was on the icy runway, and quickly rolled up. The ice layer melted, exposing the snow-white special concrete below.
The two Stormbird fighters were quickly pulled up. After the formation took off, they turned to the southwest during the climb, and leaped towards the target under the guidance of the ground radar.
Ted's mood is very 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 previous flight training.
In contrast, Carl, the lead pilot in front, was a little excited. He came, and finally came. The last air battle did not fight enough. This time, he can finally fight happily!
Killed their reconnaissance plane, fired three shots, and made one hit. This was the target Carl had set for himself.
In the past, Carl was Novotny’s wingman. Almost many times, he flew behind Novotny’s to protect his back hemisphere. He rarely had the opportunity to fire. Now it’s different. Promoted to long flight.
There must be results this time!
The two planes climbed to a cruising altitude of 14,000 meters, began a normal cruise state, and rushed towards the target.
They flew away from Greenland and flew to the south of the Davis Strait, the northwest corner of the Atlantic Ocean.
Below is the blue sea, two silver-white fighters flying lightly, getting closer and closer to the target.
At this time, Ted looked at the distant sky with his sharp eyes, hoping to find his goal in the clear sky.
Ordinarily, in a clear sky, he should be able to see airplanes in the airspace 30 kilometers away.
At this moment, in the rear radar station, the radar soldier was 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." Novotny's words came from the radio: "Catch up and kill it!"
No plane can escape the interception of a jet. The fastest propeller plane can fly to 700 kilometers per hour, which is already against the sky. However, jets can easily fly to 1,000 kilometers per hour.
As long as you want it, the other party will never escape!
"Attention, you are about to fly out of the radar surveillance area. Be careful." At this moment, Novotny's voice continued.
The ground-based surveillance radar has an air search distance of about 300 kilometers. Therefore, they can easily fly out of this range. After all, at the speed and range of a jet, it is the most common around 500 kilometers.
This is not too dangerous. Radar is a new thing. When there was no radar before, there is no need to take off for combat?
The radar is just an auxiliary, this is everyone's opinion.
"Received." Carl shouted on the radio: "We will definitely catch up!"
At this time, Carl was able to 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 shouted to his wingman over the radio.
Ted can only smile at this radio nickname. In the past few days of flight training, those so-called flying veterans discovered that no matter what actions they do, Ted, a rookie, can actually keep up, just like gummies. In the back, so, I nicknamed Ted a gummy candy.
Ted didn't like it and didn't resist it. What he called was secondary, as long as he could fight.
Ted has also seen the bright spot in the distance. I don't know why. When he sees this bright spot, there is always a strange feeling, as if something is wrong!
The opponent's speed is not fast, only about 400 kilometers per hour, and in the eyes of a jet flying at about 1,000 kilometers per hour, it is as slow as a snail.
Soon, the goal gradually became clear, and what appeared in front of him was no longer a bright spot, but an outline. Suddenly, Ted shouted on the radio: "They are not one plane, they are four!"
The resolution of the radar is not high. When flying in dense formations, a bright spot will appear on the radar. Even in later generations, this is the most common tactic.
I felt that the opponent was one, and I had deployed two, that should be more than enough. As a result, when I got to the front, it turned into four, and the advantage became a disadvantage.
This is like a luxury car, scratched with a Wuling van. Two bodyguards got on the luxury car and wanted to save face. As a result, more than 20 people got off the Wuling van. How do you look at this scene?
Although he saw that the opponent was four ~EbookFREE.me~ Karl was not afraid, but was even more excited. What's the fear, the more the opponents, the more his record!
"Visually it is P-51 Mustang, the main American fighter." Ted continued to shout over the radio.
Carl is even less scared when he sees a Mustang. This kind of aircraft can’t do anything. It’s not as good as the U.S. Navy’s inverted seagulls. At least the inverted seagulls can climb very fast. Comparable, let alone compared to jets.
At this moment, the four target Mustang fighters suddenly separated into two groups, and then began to dive down.
"Gummy, we'll deal with two each!" Carl shouted over the radio.
Now they only have two fighters. The other side clearly found them and wanted to escape separately. If the leader and the wingman were still in formation, they would definitely let go of two fighters. Karl was not reconciled.
At the same time, Ted is also given a chance. Generally speaking, the wingman rarely has the opportunity to fight directly. Now he throws two Teds at once to let Ted win the first time. To his wingman, Karl is Very satisfied.
Hearing that we should deal with them separately, Ted was shocked. The long wingman flew in formation. This is what the captain emphasized every day. Now Carl actually said we should separate?
However, in the air, the wingman must listen to the command of the leader. In the current situation, it seems that separation is the most appropriate.
So Ted stopped hesitating, and swooped down.
Carl turned to the left, Ted turned to the right, and they swooped down toward the two dual-aircraft formations.
What can be the problem if you don’t fight with them in the horizontal plane? Depending on the situation, the opponent must want to dive into the sea and use their good horizontal maneuverability to get rid of. Ted remembered the fighting skills of the past few days, and he was prepared for it, and then dived down.
