Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 473 This is a shame!

"Shet! The fighter planes on standby are taking off urgently!"

The commander on duty changed his face and gave an order loudly. He didn't know what was about to happen, but he felt strongly that the anti-aircraft fighter on standby must be scrambled to take off at this moment!

Only by releasing the anti-aircraft fighters can he regain a sense of security!

There are anti-aircraft fighters on standby at the take-off position of the flight decks of the two large aircraft-carrying carriers. After receiving the order, four anti-aircraft fighters can take off within one minute.

Four simulated Hornet fighter jets began to scramble.

But it was too late.

The radar operator saw the Gaoxin No. 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft suddenly climb to a high altitude. The movement was so large that the radar operator thought it was preparing to pull up and launch missiles. If he had not known in advance that it was just a plane without any attack capabilities.

Everyone's attention was on the disappeared Shen Hoy heavy fighter aircraft, and they did not pay due attention to the actions of the Gaoxin No. 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft.

"The first two air defense fighters have taken off!" the combat staff reported.

The commander on duty still felt uneasy. He picked up the telescope and walked to the cabin window to look northwest. His eyes moved steadily from southwest to northeast, scanning the Gaoxin No. 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft. Suddenly, he stopped, quickly moved his view back, and focused on the climbing Gaoxin No. 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft.

This is an old machine with a long history, and its climbing movement is very slow, just like an old man who is about to retire coming home from get off work and has to get off the car and push the bicycle step by step when the road goes uphill.

The aircraft is not threatening in any way.

The problem was that the watch commander saw a dark and light shadow underneath the aircraft. There is a light gray outline moving quickly on the dark green sea water background. He quickly adjusted the magnification to focus on the light gray shadow, and discovered that it turned out to be a fighter jet!

"Shet! Activate the close-range air defense system! Enemy planes are coming! Five kilometers away!" the commander on duty shouted in panic.

However, with a distance of only five kilometers, they had less than ten seconds to react. Five kilometers is regarded as the final distance of the air defense circle of the maritime ship formation. This layer of air defense network is composed of close-range anti-aircraft artillery systems, mainly the "Phalanx" close-range anti-aircraft missile system and the "Hiram" short-range air defense missile system. The last line of defense for the task force.

In other words, regardless of whether the incoming attack is a fighter jet or a missile, the task force has only the last resort for air defense.

The speed of the No. 1616 J-16 fighter-bomber, which has quietly reached close to the speed of sound, is still increasing. It is obvious that Li Zhan will not give the task force any chance. The "stacked Arhat" penetration tactic can shorten the distance to five kilometers, which Li Zhan never expected. He thought that being able to reach a position of ten kilometers would be a great success. He did not expect that the air defense of the task force would have such a big loophole.

In other words, their air defense network has major flaws.

If you don't try many things, you will really think that the opponent is too powerful. In fact, no matter how high-tech weapons and equipment are, it is impossible to be perfect. As long as you think of ways to find appropriate tactics, you can do things that ordinary people think you can't do.

Chen Fei was so excited, and he didn't expect it to be so successful.

To a certain extent, advancing to a position five kilometers away from the target already means victory in the battle. This is a distance that can hit the target even if a machine gun is used!

What frightened him even more was that Li Zhan seemed to be reaching supersonic speed at this time!

You must know that the sea-skimming flight height at this time is only about five meters!

What Chen Fei was worried about was that there was not enough fuel to drive back to Zhongnan Station.

As for traveling at supersonic speeds close to the sea, Chen Fei believed that Li Zhan could stabilize the posture of the fighter plane so that it would not plunge into the sea and turn into a submarine. Chen Fei was not surprised to remember that two years ago, when Li Zhan's troops were ordered to dispatch urgently to deal with the air situation, they had used the violent sound produced when breaking the sound barrier to scare away the opponent.

Li Zhan may be trying his old trick again, but the difference is that the last time it was at an altitude of several thousand meters, this time it is at an ultra-low altitude, and maybe it will climb to an altitude of tens of meters to fly over the task force fleet.

Because most of the fuel had been consumed before, the fighter's ultra-low-altitude acceleration performance was very good at this time. Li Zhan's calculation was very accurate. When it was three kilometers away from the target, the fighter had already approached the sound barrier, and there would be up to two seconds left. In just a short time, the machine head can pierce the membrane in front.

He shouted, "Prepare to attack!"

At the same time, the target was locked. It should be noted that he used the cannon sight to lock on the target - the flagship of the task force and one of the large aircraft carriers.

The fire control radar locking was operated by the weapons operator in the rear cabin. Chen Fei had completed the work long ago, but he did not turn on the combat mode, but performed the simulated locking procedure. After all, it is a confrontation exercise, and there is no need to consume the precious working life of the fire control radar. Fire control radar is a high-precision instrument, and its components have a working life.

Chen Fei completed the simulation locking procedure.

Two kilometers away, Li Zhan even saw support personnel wearing various vests running wildly on the target deck.

Li Zhan controlled the speed and carefully adjusted the heading and elevation angle so that the nose of the aircraft was pointed at the bow of the target ship instead of facing the side of the ship. This is not the best attack angle, it can even be said to be the worst attack angle. Chen Fei didn't know what Li Zhan planned to do for a while.

"Breaking the sound barrier." Li Zhan said suddenly.

The nose of the fighter plane pierced the air like a sharp sword. The huge noise caused by the fierce friction between the fighter plane and the air rumbled into the sea and every ship in the task force. The sound produced at such a close distance made some The windshield vibrated.

Suddenly, Chen Fei saw the landing gear light turn green - Li Zhan lowered the landing gear!

"Old Li! What happened to the landing gear!" Chen Fei was shocked.

Li Zhan said nothing. At this moment, he was only one kilometer away from the large aircraft carrier!

For the No. 1616 J-16, which has just exceeded the speed of sound, the distance of one kilometer is just the blink of an eye.

A scene that the task force commander on duty and everyone else will never forget happened.

The Shen Hoy heavy fighter suddenly lowered its landing gear, put up the speed brake on its back, and raised its nose slightly, getting ready for landing, but the speed was absolutely amazing!

All the personnel in the combat command center on the bridge watched in stunned silence as the Shen Hoy heavy fighter jet decelerated rapidly in the last kilometer and flew past the ship from bow to stern in the direction of the hull. He did not fly over, but flew over in a landing attitude. Everyone could clearly see that the two tires of the main landing gear came into contact with the flight deck and dragged out two plumes of smoke!

The ground support personnel on the flight deck were all frightened. The pilots of the second batch of anti-aircraft fighters who were preparing to slide to the take-off position saw a huge fighter jet flying at high speed in front of them. Their hearts were so shocked that they almost jumped out of their mouths!

The Shen Hoy heavy-duty fighter jet used the flight deck as its own runway as if it was in an uninhabited land. Just like a go-around after a failed landing, the main landing gear touched the flight deck a little bit, then immediately pulled up and then rolled rapidly. Detach.

The commander on duty looked at the Shen Hoy heavy fighter jet that turned away gracefully, and his mind went blank. With more than 20 years of command experience, he lost all thinking ability at this moment.

Was it a dream?

A Shen Hoy heavy fighter almost landed on our flight deck just now, right?

There were several fighter jets on standby on the parking bay on the island side of the flight deck. The pilots were already in the cockpit, waiting for the order to slide out to the ejection take-off position. However, the operation of the flight deck suddenly stopped, and everyone looked on in shock. Watching the Shen Hoy heavy fighter plane leisurely "go around" in front of his eyes.

This is a shame!

For three full minutes, the entire command and combat system of the task force fell into a state of mental stasis for three full minutes. Some people who witnessed that scene slapped themselves hard several times and felt real pain before they realized that it was not a dream, it was real.

The shrill, highest-level air defense siren kept sounding, and Richard, who once again sat in the simulated Hornet fighter cockpit, suddenly found that his hands and feet were shaking. He turned around to look for the Shen Hoy heavy fighter with the tactical number 1616, and saw it looking down at little people like them like a god in the sky above the fleet, and like a lion king standing proudly on the top of a mountain overlooking his territory, and everything in the territory was in danger. Belong to it!

Richard suspected that he was hallucinating. He actually saw the pilot in the front cabin of the Shen Hoy heavy-duty fighter plane grinning at him with a white face, and even gave him a thumbs down, wearing white labor protection gloves. Extraordinarily conspicuous!

He suddenly thought of the PR-41 crew, the crew that was frightened by the crazy dog ​​in the South China Sea and suffered a mental illness and had to bid farewell to the flight.

Maybe I also have psychological shadow.

The roaring noise of ultra-low-altitude supersonic flight, and the offensive connotation of proudly pulling up the nose of the aircraft and touching the flight deck of the own mothership with the tires of its main landing gear, all made Richard think "The earth is good" The fear of "I want to go back to Mars", the fear that arises from the soles of the feet rushes into the heart at a supersonic speed, causing the heart to beat at a supersonic speed and then stimulating the nerves all over the body!

"I think I will never have the confidence to push the accelerator lever again." Richard's lips trembled violently. He missed the pastoral scenery of his hometown in Texas. Maybe that was his own life.

Time seemed to have stopped flowing at this moment, and even the sea surface stopped flowing. The whole world stopped, except for the Shen Hoy heavy fighter plane flying leisurely in circles over the fleet.

Nothing in the world can stop him.

"The red square tests the six, we turn, repeat, we turn, excuse me!"

The blue team's task force called J-16 No. 1616 through the international general channel, announcing that this confrontation exercise ended with the red team's victory. The blue task force finally failed to get close to the twelve nautical miles of the island and reef. They quickly turned and accelerated away as if they had seen a ghost.

The performance of the J-16 fighter-bomber No. 1616 refreshed everyone's understanding of this type of non-contact confrontation drill. Before this, no one could have imagined that a confrontation drill could be conducted like this! What I didn't expect was that Li Zhan had such a heavy burden!

Not to mention the Blue Team and others, Chen Fei, who was sitting in the back cabin, felt like the shit out of him was scared out of him when the tires of the main landing gear of the fighter plane rubbed against the flight deck, but! What cannot be denied is that it feels really good!

Wu Feiyou's crew was even more astonished. Playing Super Cobra in front of the blue team's simulated Hornet fighter jet was already scary, but they didn't expect that he would actually touch the flight deck of the blue team's aircraft carrier!

Everyone thought that after successfully breaking through, he would fly past the blue task force at a very low altitude to prove that he had won the confrontation drill. In fact, this was already very surprising. It was a task force centered on an aircraft carrier with a tight air defense perimeter. However, everyone underestimated the courage and flying skills of the pilot of the Shen Hoy heavy fighter.

Supersonic speed is approaching, emergency deceleration, at a high speed of more than 900 kilometers per hour, it flickers from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier carrier and then hovers over the fleet, just like a naughty child gently teasing your head and then quickly After running away, he pointed at you and laughed.

"Too fierce!" The co-pilot swallowed hard after a long while and spat out this sentence.

Wu Feiyou couldn't come to his senses for a long time, and even almost drove in the wrong direction in shock. He quickly calmed down, adjusted his course and followed the task force, "gifting" them to leave. At this time, he discovered that the "Test 16" fighter plane had been above his left wing, escorting him in flight.

"Test Yaoliu, you should return." Wu Feiyou called, "You should be running out of fuel, right? It's over."

Li Zhan replied, "I can't fly anymore. I just asked Guangzhi for instructions. I have to make an alternative landing at Forgettable Reef with you. Over."

Wu Feiyou immediately grinned and said, "This is a great relationship. I'm just worried that I won't have the chance to meet you. It's over."

"They have left the prescribed sea area. Let's return, Gaoxin Sansan, it's over." Li Zhan said.

Wu Feiyou smiled and said, "Understood! You go there first, I can't fly fast, it's over."

Li Zhan said, "I'll go there with you, it's over."

"clear!"

The Gaoxin No. 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft entered cruising mode and flew towards the Forgetting Reef at a speed of 560 kilometers per hour and an altitude of 5,000 meters. Li Zhan flew above them at the same speed, turning on the airborne radar from time to time to search for the direction of the front hemisphere. The use of airborne radar is also one of the items in actual combat test flights.

Li Zhan set the flight parameters and started the autopilot. After instructing Chen Fei in the back cabin to monitor the flight attitude, he took out the aeronautical chart to look for Forgotten Reef. He was not familiar with the islands and reefs in this area, and Judging from the name, the Forgotten Reef should be an inconspicuous reef, which is very different from the island.

He didn't know what the situation was like at Forgotten Reef, but since his superiors believed that a backup landing could be made there, there must be no problem. The situation now is much better than it was many years ago. At least there are places in the South China Sea where we can make backup landings. Two or three years ago, if we were in a situation like this, we would have had no choice but to abandon the plane and parachute. This is one of the reasons why our military had almost no way to conduct normal patrols in the vast sea and air of the South China Sea many years ago.

Li Zhan and Guangzhi repeatedly confirmed the location information and then confirmed it with Wu Feiyou. Only then did they truly believe that the inconspicuous little dot on the navigation map was the Forgotten Reef, the closest reef with a runway to them and a full mile away from the mainland. A thousand kilometers.

He asked Chen Fei, "Are you familiar with Forgettable Reef?"

Chen Fei replied, "I have an impression but I am not familiar with them. They belong to the island guarding force and rarely interact with them."

"Is there an airport there?" Li Zhan didn't believe it.

Chen Fei said, "I'm really not sure about this. A lot of the construction of islands and reefs is kept secret, and we at HNA don't know about it. Since our superiors asked us to divert there to refuel, there must be relevant facilities."

Li Zhan thought for a while and called Wu Feiyou, "Gaoxin Sansan, what's the situation at Forgettable Reef? Can you protect my plane? Over."

Wu Feiyou said, "Sorry, I don't know very well, but there is an unfinished runway. I can land you without any problem."

…

Li Zhan was speechless.

In fact, he was not worried about whether he could land, but whether he could get supplies. It was now after noon, and nearly three hours had passed since they set off from Zhongnan Station. If they could not get oil replenishment at Forgotten Reef, not only would they not be able to return to Zhongnan Station within today, they might even be stranded there. This would have serious implications for the test flight program. The test flight plan itself has been delayed for a long time. If there are further setbacks, it may be difficult to complete before the big competition.

Li Zhan really didn't want to miss the first competition of the Air Force. It was the feast of the Chinese Air Force in so many years.

"Experiment Yaoliu, you can rest assured that the Forgotten Reef should be able to guarantee it. It's over." Wu Feiyou said.

"Understood, thank you, done!"

Li Zhan glanced at the flight plan again, and found that the name Forgotten Reef was not included in the alternate list. In fact, let alone a thousand kilometers away from the mainland, there are no suitable backup sites in the entire South China Sea, at least in the establishment list. But at this time, Li Zhan felt that Wu Feiyou's tone was ordinary, which made him suspect that the Gaoxin No. 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft had been using a certain island as a transit station for a long time.

The amount of information here is a bit overwhelming.

The Blue Task Force gradually sailed southward away from the designated waters. Li Zhan and Gaoxin No. 33 flew northward to the Forgotten Reef, more than 300 kilometers away. The process and results of this temporarily arranged confrontation exercise are being summarized and reported to the respective headquarters through different channels. The intelligence data captured by the reconnaissance equipment carried by the Gaoxin No. 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft and the scene at the time are also being reported through The dedicated communication channel was transmitted back to the Haisi Intelligence Bureau.

Before Li Zhan and Wu Feiyou's mixed two-plane formation arrived at Forgotten Reef, a Y-8 medium transport aircraft carrying a crew, fuel and related equipment took off from Shuilingchang Station, destined for Forgotten Reef.

PS: Two updates combined into one, this little plot can be more coherent.
