Changkong Fighter

Chapter 24 Return
"Code name? I've thought of one."

"Oh? What's the code name?"

"The sky."

Liu Jun said the code name he had thought of a long time ago - Changkong, which means "eagles soar in the sky and fish swim in the shallows."

"This code name is good." Zhang Peng nodded in his heart. The eagle soaring in the sky is the romance of pilots.

"Master, what's your code name?" Liu Jun asked curiously. Fatty, this code name is not common.

"Haha, that's all old news," Zhang Peng laughed. Then, his eyes drooping slightly, he said as if recalling something, "At that time, I passed the pilot selection. My family was poor, and I had never eaten anything good. The army food was so good, and it was available 24 hours a day. I 'accidentally' gained weight and was almost rejected because of it."

"puff"

Listening to Zhang Peng's words, Liu Jun couldn't help but laugh. His master was truly talented. It would be unfair if he was rejected for being overweight. Pilots had strict weight requirements, and after all, the chief engineer didn't want a Goering sitting in the nose of the plane.

"How did you finally lose weight?"

"Control your mouth and move your legs," Zhang Peng said as he talked about his weight loss, his tone full of bitterness.

While chatting, the refueling was completed. Zhang Peng maneuvered the fighter to detach from the hose and retracted the refueling pipe. The other two J15S came over and prepared to line up for refueling. After all this trouble, no one had much fuel left.

[139, return home immediately! Repeat! Return home immediately!]

"Roger that, RTB!"

After receiving the order, Zhang Peng controlled the J15S to adjust the course to 060 and the altitude to 8000, and received fuel replenishment, which was enough to fly back.

Liu Jun glanced at 815A below, which was emitting a small amount of black smoke and moving towards the UFO wreckage floating on the sea. The density of the fragments, which looked like glass, seemed to be smaller than that of water. In addition, the buoyancy of seawater was greater than that of fresh water, so the fragments were extremely eye-catching under the reflection of the sunlight.

After Zhang Peng flew the plane for a distance, the radar captured a friendly signal. The IFF identified it as the previously damaged [1 (壹) 40 (洞)] aircraft and approached it.

After approaching the 140 aircraft, Zhang Peng observed the status of his wingman from the rear. During the previous battle, he had no time to carefully check the damage for his comrades. The pilot in the cockpit only knew that the aircraft was damaged, but had no idea how serious the damage was. He could only rely on his comrades' visual notifications.

The left engine stopped, the left elevator and yaw rudder were damaged, and before the automatic fire extinguishing device was activated, the tail had been burned black, which was very conspicuous on the low-visibility paint.

"How is it? Can you still fly?"

Flying parallel to the [140] aircraft, Zhang Peng turned his head to look at his comrades and asked worriedly, "Landing a carrier-based aircraft is like dancing on the tip of a needle. Now that the aircraft body is so severely damaged and only has one engine left, the difficulty of landing has increased by several levels."

"The right side is normal and can fly back."

This is why the Navy likes twin-engine heavy fighters. If one engine stops, the other can still be used. Moreover, heavy fighters are much stronger than light fighters in terms of bomb load and range. If they were single-engine fighters, the 140 would have abandoned the plane and parachuted long ago.

"learn."

Open the speed brake, and [139] aircraft will remain behind [140] to accompany the wingman, observe the status of the wingman, and notify the other party immediately if any abnormality occurs.

After a hard fight, the pilots on both aircraft (except Liu Jun) felt a little tired. They took out chocolates to eat and drank some water to moisten their dry throats.

[139 aircraft, missiles exhausted, 100 rounds remaining, aircraft in good condition.]

[Situation: RTB] Inside the command center, the commander looked at the [139] aircraft on the screen that was returning home, and then glanced at the [140] aircraft that was swaying and slowly returning home. He was a little worried about the damaged fighter.

"Reporting to the commander, 815A reports that the ship is salvaging the wreckage of an unidentified aircraft."

"Fisher them cleanly and don't leave any for them!"

This is their spoils of war, no one else can take it away!
After the unremitting efforts of damage control, the fire on the 815A ship was extinguished. The originally beautiful hull became "blue and purple", and the several balls on the top of the head looked like bitten apples, with a large piece missing. The laser communication system was damaged and the satellite antenna array malfunctioned.

However, as the three unidentified flying objects that continuously released electromagnetic interference were shot down, the 3A backup system connected the data link and radio communications were also restored.

There was no need for the commander to issue any orders. The 815A ship was watching the battle in the sky the whole time. After the [139] aircraft shot down three unidentified aircraft, it immediately changed course and headed towards the wreckage on the sea.

After confirming that it was temporarily safe, Song Xizhu, a specially recruited officer codenamed "Professor", stood on the side of the ship, using a telescope to observe the wreckage floating on the sea, his eyes fixed on the J15S that was sailing away.

"Who was the pilot on that plane?"

"Professor, the pilot of aircraft 139 is codenamed Fatty and a student." The technician on the side said as he put away the equipment. This basic information can be easily obtained by the 815A, which has a high level of technical reconnaissance authority.

“Oh, that’s amazing.”

During the first encounter, a single aircraft shot down three unidentified flying objects with machine guns, which left a deep impression on her. It turned out that there were indeed many hidden talents within the University of Tokyo.

In the following time, there were always four J815s escorting 4A, and 15A was like a "fishing boat" picking up spoils, not letting go of any fragments. Large fragments were caught with fishing nets, and small fragments were placed on speedboats. The most valuable of them were the one-third intact aircraft wreckage.

The wreckage was piled in a vacated hangar, carefully protected, and guarded by security personnel.

Suddenly, a strange yet familiar radar signal appeared on the 815A's sea search radar, slowly approaching, and there were 8 aerial targets in the sky.

"Captain! Surface target detected, identification signal: Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier!"

"Aerial target: 8, identified as Sea Rafale!"

The J15 responsible for escort captured these aerial targets, became alert, and flew towards the sea gust wind.

"Ask them what they are doing here?" The captain frowned. If it were normal times, he wouldn't be too worried, but now it's wartime, so one must be on guard against others!

When asked by 815A, the Charles de Gaulle gave a very tactful reply: it hopes to evacuate the current waters together and is willing to fight side by side with 815A.

"Want to fight alongside us? Haha~ Aren't they America's allies?" The captain of 815A was so angry that he laughed. Where were they when 815A was attacked by an unidentified flying vehicle just now?

No wonder satellites did not detect the attack on the Charles de Gaulle after the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group was attacked. It turned out that the situation was not good, so they just ran away as per tradition. However, as an aircraft carrier, without any accompanying ships, it is a high-value target.

At this time, the Americans were beaten badly by an unidentified flying vehicle, and the Charles de Gaulle could only come to the University of Tokyo to seek help. Otherwise, the sinking of such a unique ship that is a symbol of the country would be a huge blow to the people.

"This matter is not for us to decide. Report it."

"Yes! Captain."
