Chapter 144 Immelmann's Turnaround, Harassment and Bombing (Please Subscribe!)
Domi brought dinner to Hans; with time running out and the task so demanding, Hans was completely absorbed in his work, neglecting to eat or sleep.
"If I had known I was going to be an arms officer, I should have gone to college like my sister did."
The next morning, Hans, sporting panda eyes, spoke to Xia Yu.
"That way I should be able to drive the Gale."
This is a different life altogether; Hans the tank gunner becomes Hans the aerial gunner.
It's unclear how many of those old Tornadoes are still operational given the Federal Defense Forces' fighter jet readiness rate. They might only earn a few dozen hours of flight time per year, making their income extremely precarious.
"I think your temperament is more suited to a U-boat."
Xia Yu patted the anti-G suit, which fit Hans's size, onto his chest.
"You know what, a relative of my grandmother's was a submarine commander in the Red Navy."
U-boats have never had a nuclear-powered version, and Hans wasn't disappointed about that; he was just a little curious about what it would be like to launch a torpedo.
Hans is now obsessed with modifications, from tanks all the way to fighter jets, a truly remarkable range.
Such efficiency is far inferior, unlike now where each camp is bombed several times, and no one can escape the fear of being bombed.
"Let bygones be bygones," Sasu said with a sigh.
After inspecting the six hardpoints, all 18 bombs were found to be small and forward, and Hans also got out of the cockpit.
Considering that we will acquire other two-seat fighter jets in the future, it is unnecessary for Xiaowei to train a qualified Radar Intercept officer.
Upon arrival at the airport, the vehicle was identified and allowed to pass through the checkpoint, and then driven directly back into the hangar.
Sure enough, watching too few movies and TV series can make difficulties seem like illusions.
"Captain, boss, you're wrong!"
Shao Mi screwed the fuse on the bomb, while Hans took out a marker and wrote "To your respected General Busa" on the bottom of the bomb.
As Hans started the engine, he asked Sasu, who had been tinkering in the front cabin for a while.
Hans piloted his fighter jet southward.
Busa had barely set foot in the border rainforest when he seized a distant gold mine to obtain gold to support the expansion of his army.
Hans said that another role of the F-4K was that it successfully carried out tactical deception against the White Hats, but that trick can only be used once, so now it is just a small "truck" for Taiwan's operations, specializing in hauling aerial bombs.
It's like someone who wanted to fly a carrier-based Rafale, but after graduating, they were assigned to fly a Super Etendard, and then, after going around in circles, they were shot down from below the rainforest.
Of course, the drag coefficient of mK82 is not yet available. After inputting the information and confirming that the crosshair under the display is always locked onto the target, you can press the tGt.lns target selection calculation button.
It takes negotiating with multiple companies to secure that contract. Xia Yu's accounts only have a small amount of money available. If he dared to withhold military funds, the entire staff would probably defect. Maintaining the status quo is the safest option.
Then, the extension arm is used to insert it into the wing mounting points, and the fastening and wiring are performed according to Professor Hans's procedure.
Before the complex exchange, Yang Li pushed the control lever back to lower the altitude and end the dive.
A series of explosions engulfed the camp in flames, with one aerial bomb directly detonating two trucks parked nearby.
"Buzz~~"
After receiving takeoff clearance from the control tower, the F-4K signaled to the tower to depart and taxied out of the hangar, speeding toward the runway.
The Air Force's F-4Fs were not fully deployed until 2013, so the newly graduated new recruits had to be sent back to gain experience.
If there were no mines, Firepower could still make a profit from the previous rainforest clearing contracts.
While I said that, I was secretly relieved that I hadn't made any mistakes; it was my first time, and I wasn't completely flustered.
"Waaah~~"
Even under the worst storage conditions, the old ghost can be fully revived in just a few months, which shows how strong the boss's connections are.
The subsequent recapture of Immelmann was not the end of the story. The mopping-up operations were also aimed at eliminating the remnants of the rebels. It was possible to completely wipe out the warlords, flour dealers, and mining gangs entrenched there.
Xia Yu couldn't help but complain.
It's been less than a few months since we led the remaining troops to retreat to the rainforest. We started by living entirely in tents, and now we haven't even built a few wooden cabin camps with some dilapidated facilities.
Like a cunning rabbit with eight burrows, Busa divided his thousands of men into several smaller groups, relying on air power to retreat and bombard them. From the ground, he could only concentrate his forces to retreat and attack one of my units.
That would shorten the fuselage by nearly half a meter while retaining the Phantom's catapult takeoff capability, which is a win-win situation!
Xia Yu called?
"Mongoose, how did it feel to make your move?"
"Yes, Captain!"
As a good boss, Hans chose to cooperate with his employees' performance.
As a first-time fighter jet pilot, Sasu, despite his outstanding physical condition, was still overwhelmed by the low-G pressure causing cerebellar congestion and was unable to catch his breath.
I hope there will be fewer employees like me. As long as they are willing to learn, Hans is willing to train them.
"Anyway, you'll be flying it and fighting any eighth-generation fighter. It's mainly used for dropping aerial bombs."
The service of writing the blessing message was included outside the contract, so it wasn't charged in the package. Before it went wrong, I took a video and sent it to Meng Qiao via Wi-Fi at the airport.
Sasu input the target distance, target altitude, bomb drop point altitude, and distance between the bomb drop point and the target with an accuracy of 30.5m on the control board of the AN/ASq-91 ballistic simulation computer, and input the time difference from the bomb drop point to passing under the target in 0.5s units.
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~~"
What was that sound?
After dropping the bombs, Hans pulled up the nose of his aircraft and climbed backward at a 45° angle.
Before the F-4K passed under Immelmann, it continued flying eastward toward a small patch of primeval rainforest.
Realizing something was amiss, Sasu immediately admitted her mistake, but by then it was too late.
I did mention it before, but the generator was supposed to be running at noon, so why was it turned on?
Humans have no limits. I'm a bit worse than ground-based people who get seasick even in helicopter maneuvers like the Mitsubishi. With training, I should be able to handle some maneuvers, but that would only be enough to operate weapons and radar. If I were to control an aircraft, I'm afraid I'd crash into it.
Badly, it's harder to become Michel Wittmann than to become Sassu Rudel.
"It's alright. It's very difficult to simulate, but you can guarantee that you can throw accurately in real practice."
"That thing is really difficult. If the data processing is slow enough, the accuracy rate is still very low."
An mK82 aerial bomb with its demonic wings spread landed on a barracks about 100 meters away.
The first step is to install fuses on the projectile. The projectile, which is made of forged steel, has a fuse chamber at the rear, tail, and center of the projectile. It is connected by two fuse tubes. If none of them work, it will detonate, thus reducing the dud rate.
The F-4K also has a few camera positions under the fuselage, so that we can edit the footage before sending it to the client.
Before circling the machine for inspection, Yang Li also retreated into combat mode.
Busa's goal is rather small and far-reaching. It's not something that a brigade can accomplish. With over 10,000 men and no armored units, they should just stay outside the rainforest!
"yes!"
Hans pulled the control stick forward, and the nose of the plane instantly tilted downwards, pinning Sasu firmly under the seat while he was still in sync with the action.
"Please call you Sasu Urvashi Rudel!"
Before connecting the data from the AN/ASN-63 inertial navigation system, such as ground speed, vertical speed, azimuth, nose position, trajectory, altitude, and vertical acceleration, to the system.
It's possible that the entire military budget could be contracted out to PMC for one or two years.
Sitting in the front cabin, Sasu looked at the control panel, which was less complex than the rear cabin but still simple, and tried to match the knowledge in his mind with reality.
Another aerial bomb exploded nearby. This time it didn't hit any buildings, but the shrapnel pierced through several poorly defended wooden houses, injuring armored personnel outside.
Yang Li stroked the fuselage of the F-4K and said.
Before seizing Yang Liqin, Xia Yu seemed to have forgotten about us, but I will forget that humiliation.
In a small wooden cabin in the center, Busa lit a cigar and slumped in his chair, puffing away.
Going out is the same as dying anyway. Focusing fire on defense and eating meat is a waste!
When you open a shop to do business, customers aren't emperors. Hans feels there's still a lot we can improve on.
"That's good, you can set off now!"
"Is his son Rudel? He was the captain of the Panaka United Team back in the day. Now you can experience what the Panaka Mobile Team is all about!"
"Your family situation is quite complicated!"
Busa was unaware that Hans was targeting my wallet; he simply gathered his men to assess the losses and prepare for an immediate evacuation.
"You've finally come back to life. It seems that even if you went to flight school, you could only serve as the front-seat weapons officer."
Push the throttle lever all the way down, engage afterburner, and lift off. Because of the reduced engine height, the old monster skidded a shorter distance off the runway before soaring into the sky.
After breakfast, Domi drove the two of them to the airport. Xia Yu had brought the F-4K back to the hangar last week and replaced the F-4K's 1-meter "long legs" with the complete landing gear of the old Magneto Phantom F-4J carrier-based version.
Six mK82 Snakeeye bombs were previously deployed on the two pylons at time intervals. An action camera mounted on the left side of the fuselage captured the footage of the high-drag bombs automatically unfolding their folded seven-bladed tail fins before detaching from the pylons, gliding toward the ground target with a highly imposing posture.
"This is also weaker than the F-4F. It seems to have its ground attack capability directly crippled. You went to the Air Force back then, not because you were afraid to fly that thing."
Choices really matter. I, a meerkat, should be an armored soldier; weapons officer and such are just side jobs.
Sasu didn't get into character deeply enough, but you know, there's really no way that's possible.
"Buzz~~"
At the same time, Sasu activated the high-altitude bombing/weapon delivery switch.
Hans opened the communications channel and called my front-seat weapons officer (RIo).
"Whoosh~~"
Hans had watched movies like "Das Boot," "U-571," and "U-47: Captain Prien" several times, but those were all old World War II films, and he wanted to see something new.
"We haven't even finished the first mine yet. Once you've dumped everything, you can call it a day."
Compared to cluster bombs, which have a 7% to 30% dud rate, using conventional aerial bombs is probably a form of mercy!
There's nothing righteous or just about it. The gang that originally operated there was also a mining thief. Both sides were just taking advantage of each other, and in the end, every gram of gold ended up in Xia Yu's hands.
"Mongoose, well done, you guys go to the other camp."
The violent explosion destroyed the entire row of wooden houses, and the shockwave swept in all directions.
"Whoosh~~ Boom~~"
"Wow, that's amazing. It's in much less bad condition than when it was first bought."
The rebels' supply train was worth less than bombing our wooden houses.
See? The customer is very satisfied.
Although it's called a border, it's actually part of Guo's territory on the map; it's just that Xia Yu doesn't have the actual control over it.
Yang Li was clearly getting into character, even mentioning Stuka. Hans thought that guy had seen Stuka before, so he had to pull a fast one to confuse me.
The players I'm currently focusing on developing, besides Sasu, are Xiao Wei and Shao Mi.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
Xia Yu paid for the aviation kerosene for the bombing contract, and Hans didn't hesitate to turn on the afterburner and speed towards Immelmann.
We can only say that the times have created this situation, and we should just look at it objectively.
Busa gripped the doorframe and looked up at the sky until he saw a fighter jet with its wings covered in bombs.
I will go back. This time, I will bring the war to Yangli and throw that city of nearly ten million people into complete chaos.
Yang Liyi grasped Xia Yu's idea, but apart from using shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles to try to shoot the fighter jet up, there was nothing else he could do.
"Honey Badger, open the ammunition depot and prepare for mounting operations!"
"Buzz~~"
Straightening the fuselage, Hans flew back towards Yangliqin.
Sasu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
My phone vibrated, and I saw that Meng Qiao had replied with a thumbs-up icon.
Shao Mi took out the key hanging on his chest, unlocked the ammunition depot door, and then used a large forklift to fork out the mK82 high-drag bombs that Xiao Wei had damaged in the eight-cell composite rack.
"Yes, yes, he can't be the front-line weapons officer even in the concentrated fire defense. Give him a special allowance when we get back."
"Buzz~~"
Driving tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and heavy military trucks also honed my skills in logistics, supply, and equipment maintenance.
The AN/ASq-91 stopped its calculations and provided the final data when the F-4K was halfway down its dive.
A combo of diving high-altitude deceleration and bombing followed by a dive pull-up and bombing; he threw nine MK82s at that camp, and six of them hit key positions. It has to be said that Sasu really has no talent in that area.
Seeing that hellish scene and smelling the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood, Busa almost lost his footing.
"Calling the meerkat, do you feel nauseous?"
According to the intelligence provided by Xia Yu, the fighter jets slowly flew to the coordinates of the rebels' seventh camp.
Deep in the rainforest, a cluster of stilted wooden houses were scattered around, with armed men carrying AKs and not wearing camouflage uniforms moving back and forth.
Yang Li said in German in a very unrefined way.
Furthermore, the company needs versatile talents with one specialty and a few additional skills, who can learn and master new skills on the basis of their original professional expertise. Hans will definitely not be stingy with compensation.
"Boom!"
"You left it under Stuka's dashboard; the war is far from over."
Busa stubbed out the cigar, leaving only the bottom, by pressing it outside the ashtray and then got up and went inside.
"Boom!"
"You've reached your destination. You're about to dive. Prepare to drop bombs!"
The camp is in danger. Xia Yu actually hired PMC fighter jets to bomb us. Is he trying to slow down our expansion?
"So, what happened to Colonel Sasu's Knight's Order of the Diamonds, Gold Swords, and Oak Leaves?"
Hans first did a half somersault, followed by a half roll, completing the combo into a full Yang Liqin flip.
