Chapter 84 Napalm!
The wings have been adjusted to the minimum sweep angle of MiG-23, spreading its wings, like eagles, entering the war zone from a low altitude.
Although the Iranian army was exposed to the plain without any danger at this time, for the high-speed planes in the sky, flying by was only a minute at most, and the shooting window was very short, so the pilots were ready before entering the war zone.[]
All bombs are unlocked, and the fire control system is switched to ground mode!
The fingers wearing white gloves skillfully tweaked a few times in the large pile of switches on the right, and a halo appeared on the monitor.
The pilot was counting silently, "Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven..." and counting until zero, the Iranian armored troops appeared in their field of vision, pushing the halo to the densely populated land, and pressed the launch button on the operating rod!
The pilot of the MiG-23 fighter was doing this ordinary and unusual action, which was not an exercise.
Suddenly, 12 bombs on the wings and abdomen fell down one after another, as if the goddess was scattering flowers, but what was spreading was death.
The two squadrons of MiG-23, nearly 150 250kg bombs exploded and fell from the sky. The Iranian army below began to panic instinctively.
They have a spirit of not fearing death and can use their flesh and blood to attack the fortifications outside Abadan. That is their hope of victory, but they have no means to deal with these planes above their heads.
Some soldiers picked up automatic rifles, shouted wildly, and shot blindly into the sky.
The armored soldiers rushing in the front also began to control the anti-aircraft machine guns on the top, and shot desperately in the direction of the plane.
However, everything was in vain. After the MiG-23 of the two squadrons flew past, the ground was filled with fire from bombs and the planes in the sky were not damaged at all. They pulled up from the low altitude and prepared to gather and return.
The protagonist in the rear, Su-20, finally took the stage.
Unlike the MiG-23 that continues to drop bombs and carpet bomb, the Su-20 needs to fly three times in the war zone and drop different ammunitions it carries in turn.
In the cockpit, the pilot turned several switches and his subordinates transferred the weapon switch to the napalm bomb on the inside of the wing.
Napalm is made by adding thickener to gasoline. A basic charge of napalm bombs made of mixed aluminum soap of cycloalkane acid and fatty acid. The bombs containing napalm are called napalm bombs. In order to attack targets in the water, some people also add active alkali metals and alkali metal potassium, calcium, barium, and hydrogen released from the combination of metal and water to the napalm bombs is burned again, which increases the combustion power.
Napalm bombs form a layer of flame after explosion, sputtering around, emitting high temperatures of about 1,000°C and can stick to other objects for a long time to burn. They are definitely a powerful weapon to deal with the army.
When formulating the combat plan, Zhang Feng asked in detail about the types of bombs in the Air Force's ground bombing. Zhang Feng knew that the Iraqi Air Force lacked precise attack weapons against the ground, that is, various ground missiles and laser-guided bombs. However, there is always no shortage of ordinary bombs, right?
As soon as he asked, sure enough, especially when Zhang Feng knew that when he had stored such a large amount of napalm bombs in the Iraqi Air Force's arsenal, he immediately showed a terrified smile on his face: "Yes, just use this kind of bomb, it's time for the Persians to taste the power of our Air Force."
Why not use these things? Zhang Feng really couldn't figure it out. In the later stage, Saddam even used chemical weapons.
Although the Iranian army was fighting desperately, when the plane flew overhead, the opponent's first wave of attacks did not cause too much damage to itself. More than 100 craters were distributed over a distance of several kilometers, and were not very dense. Especially the armored troops at the forefront, as long as they were not hit directly, there was basically no danger.
At this time, the order to retreat finally came from the command center. Before the air force arrived, his army, in the endless river plains, was slaughtered. Although Hassan was eager to completely annihilate the fleeing Iraqi army, he did not want to consume all his troops here. It was already a great achievement to rescue Abadan. The cautious Khomeini agreed to his decision to withdraw immediately. Even Khomeini, who did not understand military affairs, already knew that this might be the trap of the Iraqi army.
However, they all thought that the Iraqi Air Force was just here to help the army retreat, and they cooperated with each other in a clever way, and the time was arranged just right. Their own fighter planes were rushing to the sky above Tehran and could not return to help. No one could see that the biggest back move, the danger that was so close to him was Abadan.
After receiving the order, Taji did not hesitate and immediately ordered his tank company to retreat. His tank company rushed to the front line, but the artillery bombardment and the bombing of the plane were lucky enough to suffer no losses. The only thing that disappointed him was to let go of the Iraqi army that he was chasing.
Their air force is here to cover their retreat. This time they are lucky, so they will let them go. Taki feels a little unwilling and can only comfort himself like this.
"Retreat." Taji shouted in the radio. The explosion just now caused many craters to explode on the ground. The driver in front of the turret must operate carefully, otherwise it will be very easy to overturn.
This old m48 tank cannot achieve in-place steering at all. The driver drove forward and pulled the left operating lever. The tank turned left, then braked, flipped the reverse gear, and pulled the right operating lever. While the tank retreated, it twisted the body and drove forward. It repeated three times before the steering preparation was completed.
The chief tank behind it was much easier. The driver operated the tank and turned beautifully. The left track turned forward and the right track turned back, twisting a large mound of soil on the ground.
Due to the steering, the already chaotic formation became even more chaotic.
The medical soldiers also rushed from behind to treat the injured people in the explosion just now. They all thought that as long as they stopped chasing the fleeing army, everything would be over. When did the Iraqi Air Force organize continuous bombing? The eight planes bombed together just now, that was already the limit.
None of them expected that this was just the beginning.
At this moment of panic, another group of aircraft flew over my head.
As a professional attack aircraft, Su-20 has a complex attack navigation system, including acП-17(bc) sight, which is mainly used for visual sighting, cvm-20-22 central computer, used for system control, navigation calculation and weapon placement calculation, although simple, it is absolutely sufficient, cЛnh(klen)-54 laser range measurement
Indicators, sps-p-72-32 atmospheric data center instruments, etc.
The pilots chose the simplest way to use sight drops, and it was dive bombs, which was also the strength of Su-20. Their main target was the enemy's tank armor cluster.
Although there are countless guns on the ground firing towards the sky, the Su-20 has armor protection in key areas. If it is an anti-aircraft gun, it may cause some harm to itself. A small-caliber rifle is simply scratching the surface.
The pilot looked at the chaotic armored troops below from the glass on the side, pushed the driving rod, dived, aimed the sights at the dense area of the armored vehicles, and pressed the launch button.
Two huge 500kg napalm bombs left the wings of Su-20. The pilot felt that the plane suddenly became lighter, pulled up the nose, and prepared to turn three times to enter the bombing route again. Everything was skillfully like the exercise.
Through the periscope, Taji saw the bomb falling from the opponent's wings. It was a little different from the bomb just now. What's the difference? It's bigger.
"Be careful, be careful!" As soon as Taki finished speaking, he heard an explosion.
In the periscope, a huge fire filled his sight. Then, a hot feeling came. Before Taji could make a sound, he felt that the blood in his body was evaporating, and his tank had turned into a big oven, turning him into a roast chicken.
Then, he lost consciousness.
Taji was very unfortunate. In the first round of bombing, a napalm bomb hit his tank, connecting several tanks around him, and were surrounded by fire. Then, due to the high temperature, the ammunition exploded for death, and several m-48, one after another, turned into a fire coffin.
"Reported, the hanger of the No. 8 aircraft has failed, the bomb on the right side has not escaped smoothly, and the weapon insurance has been opened." Suddenly, the formation received a slight panic from the pilot of the No. 8 aircraft.
The hanger failure must be the negligence of the ground crew. When Zhang Feng heard the panic sound of the pilot at the military headquarters, he knew that this was the case. Iraqi Air Force was slow to train and it was possible that such a thing happened during wartime. It was really a critical moment to lose the chain.
"Do you have a large overload maneuver immediately and shake the bomb down. If it doesn't work, parachute immediately." Arslan's calm voice came from the passage.
Can't fall down? Then throw you off!
The pilot of the No. 8 aircraft made up his mind and pushed the throttle rod to his head, and suddenly pulled up the nose.
Su-20 is an attack aircraft. If you get overloaded to 6, you may disintegrate in the air, not to mention that it is still full now, and 4 overloads are dangerous.
However, the weapon insurance has been lifted, and the napalm bomb is at risk of explosion at any time, blowing it into a fireball.
Pull it up, dive again, and then pull it up until the fourth time, the pilot heard a "bang" sound and looked out. The napalm bomb under the hanger was gone.
Only then did he feel relieved, sweat has already wet all over his body.
"Electricity No. 8 cancels the bombing mission and returns with the Axe Squadron." Axe Squadron is the MiG-23 Squadron that has completed the bombing mission.
Rome was not built in one day. If you want to build a strong air force and make a fist in the Middle East, you may have a long way to go! Zhang Feng thought secretly.
ps: I was very nervous today, but it turned out to be a big mistake. Fortunately, Fascist's reminder made me realize that I had made such a serious mistake. If I didn't say anything, I would make up for it immediately! I started writing after the invigilator in the afternoon. I just revised it again. I haven't eaten my supper yet, and tomorrow will be a torture day.
