Changkong Fighter

Chapter 22 Eagle Soars into the Sky!

The alarm on the 815A ship was still sounding. Without the attack of three aircraft, the fire was quickly brought under control. However, the hull was now covered with holes. One of the four balls on the top was charred, and the other three were in poor condition. The laser communication device was damaged and malfunctioned.

The captain watched the battle in the sky through a telescope and breathed a sigh of relief. At least the 815A ship was saved, and it just had to go back to the shipyard for an overhaul.

"Professor! No! We're still fighting, you can't go out!"

Inside the cabin, several sailors stopped a naval technical officer, while Song Xizhu looked at the two sailors expressionlessly and said calmly, "The optoelectronic system is damaged. We must go out and collect some information."

"We can help you!" said the sailor without giving in.

Song Xizhu was not angry, because she knew that the other party was trying to protect herself, but because the optoelectronic system was damaged, she could only collect battlefield intelligence through handheld optoelectronic equipment.

"Well then, Xiao Wang, you go with them. I'll wait in the cabin."

"I understand! Professor!" the technician on the side said loudly, then pulled the equipment and walked quickly out of the cabin, while Song Xizhu turned on the device in his hand and waited for the wired signal to be sent back.

Seeing that the officer nicknamed "Professor" had no intention of forcing his way out, the sailors breathed a sigh of relief, picked up their equipment and followed the captain technician.

Captain Wang came to the second deck and found the best area. After setting up the equipment, he pointed the high-precision optical camera towards the sky.

Squeak! Using optical lens zoom, the device magnified the battle in the sky, and the image was sent back to Song Xizhu in real time via a wired connection.

Song Xizhu watched the battle quietly. When he saw the PL15 launched by the J10S explode outside the location of the triangular aircraft, his eyes flashed. Even if the infrared seeker had an error, it could not be so large.

When he saw the [140] aircraft being hit head-on by the enemy again, his eyes were full of worry, and he also inferred the attack methods of these triangular aircraft. Although it was invisible to the naked eye, the optical sensor could clearly see how the triangular aircraft attacked - launching energy weapons!
After damaging the [140] aircraft, another J15S and three unidentified aircraft crossed each other and formed a single loop.

Watching the [139] aircraft frantically pulling the angle just to seize that momentary shooting window, and at such a speed, the overload the pilot endured was very great!
Is he dizzy? As Song Xizhu was thinking strangely, the J15S gained an angular advantage and successfully cut into the inner circle of the triangular aircraft, with its nose pointing towards the other side.

Well done!

At this moment, she couldn't help but cheer for the naval aviator. However, just when she thought the other party would open fire, the nose of the J15S twisted strangely, and the nose deflected to another direction, and then the fire whip lashed towards the empty air.

She realized something. Could it be that the target was fake?

Just as she thought, in the empty air, the 30MM machine gun hit the glass-like aircraft, exploding it, and the wreckage scattered towards the sea below.

Then, regardless of the danger, the fighter jet turned on the afterburner, climbed to an altitude, and chased the triangular aircraft in front.

Once within dogfighting range, they unleashed an incredibly dangerous scissors maneuver! The J-15S and the triangular aircraft tangled, entwining and soaring upwards, like a Northeastern opera duo. The battle was all about energy. In a full-scale cannon engagement without missiles, whoever ran out of energy first would be at a disadvantage, then be brought down from above by the enemy, shot down like a target.

After the two aircraft flew upwards for 2 kilometers in an entangled manner, the speed of the J15S decreased, and the triangular aircraft also lost speed. It can be clearly seen in the optical sensor that both sides entered the low-speed section almost at the same time, competing to see who would lose energy first and fall.

This scene was not only seen by Song Xizhu, but also by the captain of 815A who had been commanding the battle. The laser communication sent back by the captain of Liaoning and the commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing, the political commissar, and WZ7 also relayed it to the command center.

Watching the J15S gradually gain the upper hand, the unidentified aircraft finally lost energy and fell down. The Flying Shark seized the opportunity and turned around to shoot the falling triangular aircraft with a 30MM cannon. The commander's mouth curled up at that moment.

That's how the battlefield works. As long as you win, the rest doesn't matter! And based on current intelligence, the Japanese are the first nation to shoot down a triangular aircraft! Two at once! This is crucial. Since their encounter with the unknown aircraft, the USS Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group has yet to shoot down a single one.

"Whose general is this?" the commander asked in a deep voice, feeling very satisfied.

"Report! It's the Liaoning's fighters, codenamed Fatty, and his apprentice, who doesn't have a codename yet."

Pilots cannot call each other by their names as it is easy to leak secrets, so they often have to use a nickname. However, Liu Jun had just obtained the daytime carrier qualification certification and had not had time to choose a nickname.

"Student?"

The commander was a bit surprised. The cadets were all on the battlefield? But even cadets were soldiers, no problem! "Fat Man" had to have shot down those planes. The naval commander nodded inwardly. These two had really made them proud. This time, they'd have even more energy to "cry poor"!
Just as the commander was thinking this, he saw the [139] which had shot down two triangular aircraft in succession flip its body in the air and dive down like a Saker Falcon seeing its prey!

The J15S, which had the advantage of height, dived down, and its potential energy was continuously converted into kinetic energy, with its speed increasing, heading straight for the third triangular aircraft.

Under the control of the other two J15s, the triangular aircraft was in a low-energy state (no speed, no altitude), [139] with the bow of the oil recovery aircraft pointing towards the other side. Suddenly, the triangular aircraft, which had been able to fly with ease before, seemed to have encountered its natural enemy and turned to the side to try to avoid the attack of the "Saker Falcon".

But the Saker Falcon seemed to know what it was thinking, pointed its bow somewhere and opened fire!
Connect! Connect! Connect!
The tracer bullet indicated the shooting trajectory, and the projectile fired from the GSH30-1 machine gun swept straight into the void. The next second, countless glass-colored fragments fell into the sky.

The "Saker Falcon" that caught its prey recovered from its dive and circled at low altitude, seemingly to confirm the damage. After confirming that the target was destroyed, it began to climb upwards.

"Commander, engine 139 is running out of fuel." The technician who had been paying attention to the battlefield shouted.

[139] The aircraft had traveled a long distance to reach the battlefield and had little fuel left. In addition, they had activated afterburner during the fight, so there was definitely not much fuel left.

"Commander! Battlefield communications are connected!"

"Inquire about the fuel situation of Engine 139 immediately!"
