Red Soviet Union

Chapter 792 The Roar of the Shilka River

Damn, how could these big killers be in the hands of the Argentines?

The wingman at the back had no time to think about it. Just as he dropped the bomb at will and was about to turn to escape, his body also trembled.

The roaring Shilka River kept hitting the American carrier-based aircraft in the sky into fireballs. Without using advanced surface-to-air missiles or other weapons, it was only the quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that turned the American attack aircraft into fireballs. Disabled!

In the battle between ground air defense firepower and fighter planes, generally speaking, fighter planes have the advantage. After all, fighter planes can attack from certain directions at will due to their high maneuverability, and there are various air-to-ground weapons. However, it is not that the anti-aircraft gun is useless. The Shilka River self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is such a fierce weapon! Even in the Gulf War of later generations, the pilots of the coalition forces did not dare to fly too low in places where Iraqi self-propelled artillery was haunted.

But now, they hit the Americans with a surprise attack. They didn't even know that there were such powerful guys on the ground. Moreover, they were all attack aircraft full of bombs and without mobility!

In the radio, there was a lot of noise. The sacrifice of the front fighters brought opportunities to the rear. The pilots behind dropped the bombs and climbed up urgently. Even if the A-7 attack aircraft had boron carbide armor, it could not block the 23 mm high Explosive Molotov cocktail attack!

The pilots who escaped from the dead were terrified, but they had no ability to attack, because their bombs were all thrown away!

And the Tomcat fighter jet cruising at high altitude is just a kind of air superiority fighter, attacking the ground? They don't have this capability, and the expensive Tomcat fighters can't perform this kind of mission either!

The first attack, just like this, came back without success! When screams came from the radio, the faces of the US Navy personnel on the bridge were extremely serious.

This is a well-designed ambush! The Argentines set up self-propelled anti-aircraft guns near important targets in advance, and when their attack planes entered from ultra-low altitude, they were hit by them!

Colonel Harold's face was very ugly. The Americans arranged the attack in a hurry, so they did not send officers with higher ranks. Colonel Harold was the commander of the entire formation, and at the same time, the planner of the entire operation plan. , And now, the U.S. Naval Aviation has suffered a lot of losses!

The order to return has already been issued. Colonel Harold stood on the bridge and looked at his own aircraft carrier. On the empty deck, the operators were also looking forward to the return of the carrier-based aircraft.

Half an hour later, finally, there was a roar in the distant sky, and the A-7 fleet appeared!

Aim at the narrow landing zone on the deck,

With the help of the Fresnel landing assist system, the A-7 attack aircraft landed easily. This kind of aircraft, which is not fast at all, has excellent take-off and landing performance.

However, when the arresting wire was hooked and the fighter plane stopped, the pilot opened the hatch, and the pilot inside looked dazed and frustrated.

Failed, all the bombs were thrown away in a hurry, and he flew back, which is a shame for an attack aircraft pilot!

Closing his eyes, he waited for the crew on the deck to drag the fighter plane into the hangar. Before the pilot's eyes, the scene from a few hours ago seemed to reappear. His lead plane almost exploded in his field of vision! And the ferocious monster-like anti-aircraft gun on the ground brought him a deep fear.

Until now, the pilot could not get rid of the nightmare. When the fighter plane was first dragged to the parking area, and then he got down from the gangway, the pilot did not go to rest. He stayed on the deck and watched the follow-up fighter planes return.

One, two, three... There were a total of 30 A-7 attack planes when they attacked, but now, only 15 have returned! The rest of the people, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back! The fierce anti-aircraft gun, as long as it is hit, it will explode instantly!

The people on the deck were also waiting, waiting, until a rickety A-7 attack plane appeared in the field of vision!

One-third of the plane's wing was knocked off! Obviously, it was a ferocious anti-aircraft artillery shell that hit its wing, but he was still flying strong!

Pilot Tom is working hard to operate the plane, his eyes are already in a trance, sweat is dripping from his forehead, and his cabin is full of blood.

A 23mm shell tore through the armor protection of the cockpit and got into his thigh. At that time, he thought he was going to die, but he still drove the plane back with his strong will!

Sequoia tree, skydiving, redwood tree, skydiving! The voice of Thomas, the commander of the carrier air wing on the bridge, came from the headset. He had already learned about Tom's condition from the radio. Yes, landing a plane is quite dangerous. The U.S. Navy can afford to lose one plane, but it is not worth losing another pilot.

parachute? Tom, whose radio code name is Sequoia Tree, looked down at himself. There was blood everywhere, and his legs were no longer in control. If he parachuted directly like this, then when the seat was ejected, one of his legs would be broken. It will be cut off abruptly!

What's the point of being alive if you lose your own leg?

Tom gritted his teeth and said, The redwood trees can fall!

He struggled to open his eyes, looking at the signal light on the optical landing aid equipment, and the voice of the guide came from the earphone.

Lower the altitude, and then lower the altitude! Adjust your attitude!

Right, right, off the landing path!

Damn it, pull it up, pull it up!

Seeing that the A-7 attack plane is about to land, but the elevation angle is too high, if it falls directly like this, it will be bounced up by the deck!

It's a pity that as soon as this sentence was said, under the surprised eyes of the deck staff, they saw the A-7 attack aircraft flicker. The landing gear on the left touched the deck first, and then it was bounced hard! The fuselage leaned to the right, and the right wing directly touched the deck! A spark was drawn, and in its direction the deck crew scattered in surprise.

The plane is out of control! After sliding forward for more than 20 meters, the right wing finally broke! A-7's attack reversed in an instant! Then, continue to slide sideways.

Only one meter away from the fighter plane parked at the side, the A-7 opened its mouth helplessly, buckled upside down, and fell into the sea water!

Thankfully, no damage was done to the rest of the deck! (To be continued.)
