Kosiczsky is not ashamed.
Many pilots seem very proud on the surface, and the landing actions are very standard and done at one go. However, after getting off the plane, they can't sleep all night. It seems that landing at night has consumed all their energy.
Only an energetic guy like Nathan would regard landing at night as simple as eating and shit. But this time Kosichesky took two times to land, which was quite exhausting for him.
Kosiczsky waited for twenty minutes, until the other Tomcats had landed, and he slowly crawled out of the cockpit and walked back slowly.
And his radar officer walked behind sympathetically and said nothing.
"Hey, Kosiczsky, don't be discouraged. I have encountered such a situation." At this moment, a voice came from behind and Nathan came over.
Not everyone can land accurately once, and the landing action for the second time is relatively standard.
"Thank you, Nathan," Kosichsky said.
Nathan patted him hard on the back.
Nathan returned to the bridge and saw Petropaoli. In every night mission, Petropaoli had to wait until the last plane returned to sleep in peace. Now, his eyes are a little red.
"Nathan, how do you feel this time?" Petrobori asked him.
Nathan shook his head: "Of course it's not good. No one gave an order. Otherwise, I would have knocked down their Backfire bombers."
Of course it was uncomfortable, just using the radar to lock the opponent and frighten the opponent, what kind of ability, ability, but really knocked down their Backfire bomber.
After busy working all night, there was no result in the end, but Nathan's characteristic is that he will definitely not be wasting his efforts, as long as he goes up, he has to open fire anyway.
"Go back and rest, maybe there will be a task tomorrow morning." Petrobori said.
It was early in the morning, and supposedly there wouldn't be too many things now, and Pietro Pauli asked Nathan to go back to rest, in case something happens again in the early morning.
"Okay." Nathan went back.
The aircraft carrier fell into silence in the middle of the night. Only two hours later, the new E-2 early warning aircraft was ejected. At the same time, the E-2, which had been cruising in the sky for six hours, also returned.
Limited by the body, the E-2's cruise time is only six hours. Therefore, four E-2s must be available to meet the uninterrupted patrol mission. Now in the war period, uninterrupted patrols must be guaranteed. Who knows if the Soviets will kill a carbine
It's just that the Tomcat fighters that attacked were too tired, and now it's at night again, and the E-2 is flying over the head of the fleet. At the same time, there are two A-7s with missiles attached to it. It is enough to escort it.
The entire fleet continues to sail in the Pacific Ocean in the southeastern part of the island nation, a full five to six hundred kilometers away from Hokkaido.
This is night, and there is no mission. It is farther away from the target to avoid being attacked. At this time, the aircraft carrier formation is now in a defensive position.
Over Honshu, the E-3 early warning aircraft was finally exhausted after patrolling for more than 20 hours. As a long-range aircraft, its endurance is quite outstanding, but the crew on the aircraft is physically limited.
Even if there is a rotation unit, it won’t work if you keep going like this, it will be dragged down.
If there are two E-3s, the early warnings can be alternated. But now, the E-3 early warning aircraft here is the only one. After all, the US Air Force does not have a few such valuable strategic early warning aircraft, most of them are in European.
Therefore, the E-3 AWACS started to return after calling Yokota Base. It needs to rest. In this gap, it can only be filled by the EC-121 AWACS.
The EC-121 series of electronic warfare and early warning aircraft are all developed from the C-121 transport aircraft. There are many models, such as EC-121D and K, which are mainly used for early warning and training, EC-121M for early warning, EC-121P for anti-submarine detection platform, EC-121Q early warning and control platform, and so on.
Among them, EC-121C is the first EC-121 series early warning aircraft of the US Air Force. It was put into use in October 1953. There is a 2.44-meter long radar cover on the back of the fuselage. It is equipped with AN/APS-20 search radar. It can provide four Early warning information within a hundred kilometers.
Compared with other early warning aircraft, its radar is not a big plate, just like a big brick erected. On the back of the fuselage, the radar inside this big brick is not advanced enough to filter complex ground. Clutter, therefore, its take-off is only a supplementary effect.
After tossing for so long, do the Soviets still have energy? By tomorrow, if the Soviets do not compromise, then the whole world will see the tragic end of the Soviets. Those wrecks on the airport should be shown to the world so that the whole world knows that the Soviets provoked the war. The result was a funny loss!
After taking off, the EC-121 AWACS continues to fly northward. If it is a precious E-3 AWACS, dare not fly too far north. If it is killed by the opponent's MiG-25, it will not be a loss.
But the EC-121 is different. This kind of early warning aircraft is equipped with dozens of aircraft in the United States, and it can bear the loss.
Moreover, because of its limited performance, if it flies over Honshu Island, it will not be able to effectively cover the airspace here.
It didn't know that, just as it rushed to Hokkaido, a sudden battle broke out unexpectedly.
Kunashir Island.
During the day, most ships were unable to make effective landings. When the Americans intercepted them, they were quite benevolent. They only intercepted armed helicopters that were about to fly over Hokkaido. For these ships sailing in international waters, Did not do it.
Therefore, most of the ships are still intact. They returned to the sea area of Kunashir Island and waited quietly.
Did the Soviets lose? of course not! Their battle will continue!
Since the Soviets are going to land in Hokkaido, they must step up!
On the sea, boats are sailing toward their goals, and in front of them, there are strips of rubber boats. The tails of these rubber boats are sprayed with water, which seems to die forward. gallop.
Yes, it's almost the same as sending death. If you drive a rubber dinghy to rush over during a beach landing, you will definitely be beaten back by the firepower of other coastal defenses. As many as you come, you can kill tens of thousands of them. Human offense.
However, they are not afraid, because the sea area they are going to has no defensive power at all.
Their goal is the Shiretoko Peninsula. (End of this chapter)
