Changkong Fighter

Chapter 10 Emergency Action

The waves crashed against the huge hull of the Liaoning, but were unable to shake this giant steel ship.

Liu Jun, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in a certain direction with confusion, but there was only the cabin wall in his field of vision. However, his feeling told him that there was something in that direction.

Just when he was wondering, the alarm suddenly rang in the cabin. His body, having been trained for a long time, reacted faster than his brain. He suddenly jumped out of the bed and quickly put on his clothes and pants. Only then did he realize what the alarm meant - level one combat readiness!
He opened the hatch and ran towards the locker room. The moment he rushed out, he felt the huge ship beneath him shaking violently.

"A sharp turn?"

Liu Jun quickly stabilized his body. The only reason that could cause such a huge ship to shake, besides being attacked, was to change course at high speed. Attacks are often accompanied by explosions, but he did not hear any sound of explosion, so the only thing left was a sharp turn.

"what happened?"

Zhang Peng held onto the bulkhead beside him, and his previous amiable expression disappeared, leaving only solemnity.

At the current position, sounding the first level of combat readiness and urgently changing the route is definitely not an exercise. Could it be that a war is about to begin?

"go!"

The two ran towards the hangar. At this time, the entire Liaoning ship was busy because of the combat alarm. It was like a huge machine started up, and the gears entered their respective positions one by one, and this maritime war machine began to operate.

The engine room is also the heart of the Liaoning ship. The chief engineer keeps a close eye on the operating status of the steam turbine. The steam turbine running at full power rotates at high speed, driving this steel behemoth to gallop across the sea.

Radars were constantly monitoring the surrounding sea areas, and the pilots on combat readiness duty rushed to their fighter planes, boarded them, and prepared to take off.

The ammunition elevator transports the ammunition to the deck, and the ground crew pushes the ammunition to refuel and load the J15 Flying Shark in the parking area.

Liu Jun, who had just changed into his anti-gravity suit in the hangar, ran to his aircraft No. 189 holding his helmet and found that the aircraft's skin, which had been blackened by gunpowder gas, had been wiped clean.

At this time, Zhang Peng also ran to his fighter plane [139], and the ground crew had already added aviation fuel and missiles in the hangar.

Compared to Liu Jun's J-15, Zhang Peng's aircraft is the J-15S, designed to train carrier-based pilots. The J-15S utilizes tandem two-seat technology, which improves the efficiency of long-range patrols, facilitates the transition of new pilots to combat, and enhances the effectiveness of air combat.

The combat effectiveness of a two-seat fighter is stronger than that of a single-seat one.

"Take my seat."

Zhang Peng gestured to Liu Jun to sit in the back seat of the two-seater fighter. He didn't know the specific situation at the moment. His apprentice had just completed the daytime aircraft carrier certification and was still a rookie. He was not very familiar with naval combat, and he was not confident in him to control the plane.

"Master, don't you have a companion?" Seeing the master say this, Liu Jun walked to Zhang Peng and asked curiously.

The partners of a two-seat fighter jet cannot be changed casually. After all, it takes a long time to develop tacit understanding and enhance the synchronization and coordination rate of the "dual cores".

"Your senior brother went to the Shandong ship and just left." Zhang Peng explained briefly.

The ground crew in the hangar quickly untied the moorings and started the trailer to move the J15S to the side elevator. Liu Jun also stood on it with the master, and the elevator started.

As the elevator reached the flight deck, the roar of the engines echoed across the deck. Cooling system deflectors shielded the high-temperature, high-velocity engines from the engines, and a J-15, loaded with bombs, took off under the cover of darkness. With the flight deck clear, another J-15, preparing to take off, followed closely behind, skidding across the deck as the exhaust from the preceding aircraft dissipated. The roar of the engines quickly faded.

The deflector was lowered and the ground crew quickly cleared the deck, preparing for the next wave of Flying Sharks to take off.

There is no doubt that we have entered a state of combat readiness, but we don’t know what the enemy is yet.

Liu Jun looked at the surrounding sea, but he didn't see any lights with his extraordinary eyesight, which meant that the aircraft carrier battle formation had already deployed into battle formation!
Zhang Peng, who was very popular on the ship, saw the captain walking towards the briefing room, stepped forward, grabbed him and asked quietly, "What's going on?"

The captain looked at Zhang Peng and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the details. "I don't know the details either. My superiors haven't informed me yet."

Hearing what the captain said, Zhang Peng didn't ask any more questions and walked towards the briefing room with his apprentice. His fighter plane was pulled to the parking area, and the ground crew began to refuel and load bombs, preparing for the attack.

The moment he entered the briefing room, Liu Jun saw several familiar faces and some he had not seen before. Of course, the pilots who were forced to rest were not here.

The captain sat in the front row, and Zhang Peng walked over and sat next to him. Liu Jun thought about it, found an inconspicuous seat in the back row and sat down, waiting for his superiors to explain the details.

During the waiting time, the atmosphere in the briefing room was very serious, because the captain was sitting below, which meant that someone with a higher rank would come to brief them, and it also meant that the situation was very unusual.

After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and Colonel Captain Zhang Jun and Political Commissar Yang Wei entered the briefing room together, with serious expressions on their faces.

After entering the briefing room and the door closed, Captain Zhang Jun walked up to the HNA pilots, scanning the heroic and weathered faces of these Seahawks, and said in a deep voice:

"Comrades, we just received an order from our superiors. After resupplying, our ship will immediately proceed to the Western Pacific to investigate the 'sinkhole' phenomenon."

Tiankeng? This name made the pilots present look at each other in confusion. They had never heard of this thing before.

Beep, a huge and strange hole in the sky was shown on the big screen. The hole was lit up with colorful rays of light from time to time, which was very beautiful, but beautiful things often represent danger.

"Just now, the Air Force's H-6K has released the WZ-8, and our unit will head to the nearby waters to investigate after resupplying."

Having said this, Zhang Jun paused for a few seconds, giving the airmen present some time to digest the information, and continued:
"The reconnaissance mission will be led by a drone. Because the danger of the mission is unknown, please prepare in advance. Be bold but also be careful!"

After saying that, Captain Zhang Jun looked at the political commissar, who signaled the orderly to hand the paper and pen to the airman present.

When Liu Jun took the paper, he was stunned for a moment before he realized what it was used for.

I picked up a pen and wrote my name on the printed form, then I started to worry about what I should write in my suicide note.
If I sacrifice myself, will they not be sad? Forget it, what parents wouldn't be sad!

After much thought, I wrote a message to my parents:

【Why bury your bones in your hometown? There are green mountains everywhere in life. 】
