Chapter 315 Emergency Rescue, Strategic Rapid Response Capabilities
As the first third-generation fighter jet to be put into service by the United States, the F-14 Tomcat fighter surpasses the previous generation F-4 Phantom fighter in all aspects of performance.
The power system is equipped with two TF-30 turbofan engines, each with a thrust of 9.4 tons.
The turbofan engine is also one of the hallmarks of the third-generation aircraft.
Its maximum take-off weight is just over 30 tons, slightly higher than the F-4 Phantom fighter.
最大飞行时速2马赫、航程2573公里、爬升率153米每秒，升限1.8万米、载弹量6.5吨......
For the Tomcat fighter, the biggest feature is its variable sweep wing structure.
"We only have less than ten minutes of airtime left. We should split up and attack the area where the fighting is most intense."
The pilot of one of the F14 Tomcat fighter jets glanced at the fuel gauge in front of him and whispered into the headset.
"Roger that!"
The flight from Yongzhou City to Taijing is more than 1300 kilometers, and that was with bombs loaded.
It was easy for them to fly over, but it was impossible for them to go back with this amount of fuel.
So they will go to the nearest air force airport in southern Shan State, which is only five or six hundred kilometers away.
This will also become their temporary air force base.
As a patrol aircraft, the F-14 Tomcat fighter did not carry many ground attack munitions.
Each fighter plane was only urgently equipped with four 4-kilogram low-drag, high-explosive bombs.
In addition, it is also equipped with two Sparrow and two Phoenix missiles.
The Phoenix missile is the world's first fire-and-forget active air-to-air missile and is the Tomcat fighter's most powerful weapon.
The fighting in the Grand Palace is now very fierce.
However, if we have to pick out the most intense one, it is undoubtedly a gate on the east side.
Under the bombardment of heavy artillery, the huge marble door frame was collapsed and the gate disappeared without a trace.
So this place also became one of the places where the rebels attacked most fiercely.
An assault force consisting of more than ten Vickers light tanks covered thousands of rebels in their attack here.
The guards responsible for guarding this place also suffered heavy casualties, and the defense line here is on the verge of collapse.
"Chirp..."
"boom....."
A 500-kilogram bomb dropped from the sky and landed accurately among the crowd, causing a huge explosion and flames engulfing the crowd in an instant.
The fierce shock wave carried shrapnel, tearing apart and blowing away all the rebels, tanks, and debris along the way.
The sudden attack caused heavy casualties to the rebels attacking here.
The number of casualties in this wave reached hundreds.
It was only at this time that someone noticed the F-14 Tomcat fighter jet roaring past at low altitude.
"Jet planes...are planes made by the ancients!"
The rebels didn't know what jet fighters were, but John and Gaul's military advisors did.
When they saw the fighter planes flying low, their pupils couldn't help but shrink.
It has only been about an hour, and the ancient country's fighter planes have actually flown to Taijing. The speed is really too fast.
"Reinforcements from the ancient country are coming! Reinforcements from the ancient country are coming!"
The palace guards cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.
Reinforcements from the ancient country have arrived, the rebels' doom is approaching, and they are about to win the war.
John, Gaul and the rebels began to get anxious.
They didn't expect that under such a fierce attack, the guards of only more than 2,000 people could resist so tenaciously.
They also didn't expect that the support from the ancient country would come so quickly.
"Two, they only have two fighter planes.
Don't be afraid of them, keep attacking, as long as we can capture the Grand Palace we will be victorious."
The rebels saw that they did not see any more fighter planes, so they regained their confidence and launched the attack.
The pilots of the two F-14 Tomcat fighter jets also began to get anxious.
Because they had used up all the bombs they carried and only had air-to-air missiles left.
Now they could only launch ground attacks with machine guns.
"we are coming!"
A voice came over the radio channels of two F-14 Tomcat fighter jets.
Suddenly they looked around in surprise, searching for friendly forces coming to reinforce them.
After a moment they locked onto their target.
The second batch of fighter jets that arrived in Thailand consisted of four aircraft.
However, it was not an F-14 Tomcat fighter, but a TU-22M3 Backfire supersonic strategic bomber, one of the new strategic bombers equipped by the Southern Military Region Air Force.
The original TU-22 supersonic strategic bomber has been retired.
Although both fighters are called Tu-22, they actually have nothing to do with each other.
The Backfire is nominally an improved version of the Tu-22, but is actually a fighter jet of a completely new design.
Its logo is similar to that of the F-14 Tomcat, and it also uses a variable-sweep wing design, a maximum flight speed of 2.3 Mach, a range of 7000 kilometers, and a maximum weapon load of 24 tons.
Currently, there is only one squadron of 12 Tu-22M3 Backfires deployed in the entire Lingxi Air Force Base.
These four planes received the order to attack while conducting live-fire training and rushed over urgently.
Compared with the F-14 Tomcat, this big guy with a maximum take-off weight of 120 tons is much more ferocious.
When they started bombing, the rebels experienced what it meant to be the end of the world.
As the Backfire strategic bombers flew over the battlefield, 250-kilogram bombs fell one after another.
The bombing site they chose was as far away from the palace walls as possible to prevent the bomb from veering off course and flying into the palace.
But when the dense explosions rang out, the rebel forces began to collapse.
The internal ammunition bays of these four M3 Backfire strategic bombers are each loaded with 50 250-kilogram bombs, which are used to practice carpet bombing.
I didn't expect it to come in handy here.
The rebels were forced to flee in panic by the continuously falling bombs.
Two F14 Tomcat fighters left the field and four Backfire strategic bombers took over the battlefield.
"Damn the ancients!"
The rebels were unable to launch large-scale attacks under the harassing bombing.
The casualties caused by the bombing were actually not large, but everyone knew that when they appeared, the ancient country's air force fighter jets would arrive in large numbers.
So the rebels had no intention of fighting anymore.
The main reason was that the lower-level soldiers were unwilling to attack the palace.
"Damn it! Send the supervising team up. We must attack the palace. We must attack the palace."
The garrison commander, General Basong, swept the things on the table in front of him to the ground and roared angrily.
If the attack failed, he would surely die.
He doesn't want to die, he still has a lot of wealth and a good life.
At the intersection of the sky in the distance from Bangkok, more than thirty F-14 Tomcats and Tu-22M3 Backfires were flying in dense formation.
Two F-14B fighters and four TU-22M3 backfires bought precious time for the arrival of the main aircraft group.
When the main fleet arrived over the battlefield, the rebels' doomsday had already come.
Tomcats and Backfires repeatedly launched attacks on the ground.
Not to mention the rebels, even the supervisory team collapsed.
The rebels collapsed across the board, with tens of thousands of people fleeing frantically through the streets and alleys of the city.
After defeating the rebels, the fleet circled over the Grand Palace.
Their mission is to ensure the safety of the palace.
As for pursuing the rebels, it was left to the follow-up troops.
King Larma VIII walked out of the palace, looked up at the fighter planes circling in the sky, and immediately burst into tears.
He knew he was safe.
He was also extremely glad of his decision. He must hug this big, thick leg tightly.
A few hours later, dozens of helicopters of various types arrived over Bangkok.
Also accompanying the mission were eight F-8 Eagle fighter jets that provided escort.
The F-15 Eagle replaced the F-4 as the Air Force's primary air superiority fighter.
The F-14 Tomcat fighter is a multi-role fighter of the Air Force, and both fighters are in service in the Air Force at the same time.
The F-14 Bearcat made its first flight in 70, and the F-15 fighter jet made its first flight in 72.
These two classic fighters have been unlocked and naturally become the main models of the Air Force.
Jiang Hua, who owns the Red Alert base, can retire the previous generation of fighter jets without hesitation and does not have to patch them up for another three years.
Besides, retired fighter jets will not be wasted. They can be sealed up and then refurbished and sold after a few years.
UH-60 Black Hawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters landed in the open space of the Grand Palace.
The second-generation double-blade attack helicopters continued to hover over the palace to provide protection.
If the first-generation Twin Blade resembled the AH-1 Cobra, the second-generation Twin Blade resembled the AH-64 Apache, cut from the same mold.
Except for the avionics equipment which is inferior to the Apache due to technological limitations, the flight performance is almost the same.
The second-generation Twin Blades have gradually replaced the previous generation of Twin Blades and become the army's main heavy armed helicopter.
One by one, special forces soldiers jumped from the helicopter and took over the guard of the palace directly.
The commander of the 14th Special Operations Brigade of the 14th Group of the Southern Military District also met with the target of this protection, King Larma VIII.
"You are finally here, thank you for the rescue from the ancient country!"
King Larma VIII's eyes were filled with tears, and he excitedly held the brigade commander's hand.
Although he didn't understand what Lalma VIII said, the brigade commander still smiled and said, "You are safe!"
Ambassador John and Ambassador Gaul also received accurate information at the Thai Kyung Security Command.
"The ancient country's helicopter has landed in the Grand Palace, and their ground forces have arrived."
"Damn it! How can their helicopters fly so far? Taijing is thousands of kilometers away from their territory."
The ancient country's reaction was too fast, which directly caused their plan to fail.
"It seems we have to prepare to evacuate. If we continue to stay in Taijing, the ancient people and the king will not let us go."
As representatives of John and Gaul, they did not have a harmonious relationship with Laalma VIII.
With the support of the ancient country, there was nothing the country could do about killing the two ambassadors.
So they chose to retreat very decisively.
As for Basong...the clay Buddha can't even save himself when crossing the river, so who cares about his life or death?
Airports around Bangkok were also brought under control that day.
It is also a large civil airport and one of the only two airports in Siam that can take off and land heavy aircraft.
The ancient Air Force dispatched a transport aircraft unit that night to transport a light combined brigade to Thailand.
The C-5 Galaxy strategic transport aircraft, the super giant of the ancient country's air force, became the main aircraft model for this transportation.
New equipment from the ancient country also appeared in Taijing one after another.
