Changkong Fighter

Chapter 26 Heartbeat Moment
While anxiously waiting, the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier received a reply from the University of the South: Yes, but the command will be handed over to the University of the South, and they will fight in coordination.

"Sir."

Looking at Dongda's reply, the officers on the bridge looked at the commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing, waiting for his response.

To be honest, this request is not excessive. If they were in my place, they would only do something more excessive.

"Reply to Dongda, we agree to open the data port."

The lives and property of thousands of people on board, the honor of France, and the possible wreckage of the UFO made the Gauls lower their proud heads.

They are all Earthling technologies, and no matter how they change, they remain essentially the same. Countries have conducted joint exercises, and as long as the port is opened to receive data, it can be linked to the Todai combat system. Of course, this link is one-way and can only receive combat data.

Soon, the IFF identification of the Charles de Gaulle became a friendly force in the radar of 815A, and the Rafale patrolling in the air around it also became a friendly force. Their sensor signal data was sent to the 815A system and then sent to the combat command center after processing.

During the situational awareness, new "friendly forces" joined in, dispelling a large area of ​​war fog and enhancing the perception of the surrounding waters. The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier turned its course and approached 815A. It was about 815 nautical miles away from 2A, acting as her sword-wielding bodyguard. It was really impressive for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to escort a reconnaissance ship.

The captain of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier stood in the bridge, observing the hull of the 815A with a telescope, and mentally assessing the damage to the reconnaissance ship.

From the charred hull, it can be seen that a fire had occurred on the ship. The spherical cover is full of holes and the extent of damage to the radar module is unclear. The most conspicuous thing is the wreckage of the unidentified aircraft on the helicopter pad. The glazed shell is shining with colorful light, which is difficult to ignore.

As expected, the three aircraft were shot down by the Todai, and no conspicuous debris was found in the surrounding waters. They must have been salvaged. How should the wreckage be exchanged? The captain of the Charles de Gaulle pondered for a moment, then gave up. It would be better to leave these issues to the higher-ups to negotiate.

After securing the salvaged wreckage, the 815A, carrying the newly joined Charles de Gaulle, sailed at full speed towards the Liaoning aircraft carrier battle group.

Although many of the Charles de Gaulle's permissions were unavailable, the intelligence received contained a large number of pictures of the damaged Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group, whether intentionally or accidentally.

In the satellite images, the damaged USS Carl Vinson was filled with smoke, its carbon emissions were seriously exceeded, its deck had almost become a colander, its bridge was like cheese, the close-in defense guns on the side of the ship were missing, and only one launch pad for the Sea Sparrow remained. Several French naval officers had already sentenced it to death.

Even if it can successfully return to the West Coast, it is still a question whether Newport News Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company can repair it in the east.

Even if it can be repaired, given the current industrial strength of the United States, is the budget enough?

Even if the budget is sufficient, how many years will it take to repair it? Building a destroyer is already a struggle, let alone repairing such a severely damaged aircraft carrier.

Its subordinate ships were not in a much better situation. A layer of the Ticonderoga-class superstructure was plowed flat, and the ship fell into a dead silence. The leaked engine oil polluted a large area of ​​the ocean.

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer's vertical launch unit exploded, breaking the front half of the hull. The surviving crew members paddled in kayaks to get away from the sinking destroyer.

The luckiest one should be the nuclear submarine, which hid underwater and successfully avoided the attack of the unidentified flying vehicle.

The entire aircraft carrier formation withstood the attack of the triangular aircraft. After leaving the "sinkhole" for a certain distance, the triangular aircraft gave up the chase and returned to the vicinity of the sinkhole, flying around the sinkhole like a bee guarding its nest.

The USS Carl Vinson thus escaped being sunk.
Whether it was the University of Tokyo, France, or any other nation capable of observing this battle, no one could laugh at the tragic plight of the American carrier battle group. Inside the 815A control room, Song Xizhu pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, intently sorting through data from the engagement with the UFOs. Watching the combat videos of the UFOs, he came to a firm conclusion: they were not human creations.

"Doctor, the superiors have sent a notice. After reuniting with the Liaoning, you must immediately go to headquarters for a meeting."

"clear."

At the same time, on the flight deck of the Liaoning aircraft carrier, the aircrew were frantically busy, pulling up the arresting net on the deck, and the fire trucks were deployed to one side of the flight deck. Once the landed J15S caught fire, they would immediately spray it with fire foam to prevent the fire from spreading.

Inside the bridge of the Liaoning, the commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing used a telescope to look at the two approaching J15S aircraft, [139] and [140].

The superiors attached great importance to the two aircraft. Aircraft 139 shot down three unidentified aircraft, and aircraft 140 was attacked by an unidentified aircraft. The internal data was invaluable.

After approaching the aircraft carrier, aircraft 139 separated from its escort, while aircraft 140, which was severely damaged, struggled to adjust its landing attitude. The elevators could still be replaced by canards, but only one yaw rudder remained, and the aircraft's controllability was greatly reduced. Whether the landing hook could be accurately hooked on the arresting cable was a test of the pilot's skills.

"Notify aircraft 140. If you are not sure, you can parachute." Zhang Jun, commander of the carrier-based aircraft wing, said with some worry. This was the first time since the founding of the People's Navy that a damaged carrier-based aircraft had landed in actual combat. Compared with foreign countries, they did lack a lot of experience.

"Report! We are sure!"

[140] The damaged parts of the aircraft are of great research value. They can be used to analyze the performance and type of enemy weapons and assess the damage to the main fighter aircraft.

After much hesitation, Zhang Jun chose to trust the pilot's skills.

【agree! 】

After receiving permission to land, aircraft 140 followed the normal landing procedures, slowing down and opening the flaps. With one engine missing, the aircraft's thrust was only half. The old pilot rubbed the throttle carefully, and his forehead was soon covered with sweat due to nervousness.

The fuselage swayed as it descended towards the flight deck. The familiar fuselage became somewhat unfamiliar after losing its elevator and tail fin. The pilot adapted while making subtle adjustments to maintain the best landing posture.

Finally, when the fighter's landing gear touched the aircraft carrier, the huge landing force caused the landing gear's shock absorber system to press down hard, and the two pilots even heard the creaking sound of the landing gear under the heavy load. But at least they landed anyway, and the landing hook successfully hooked the fourth arresting cable. Then the pilots reduced the throttle without hesitation and activated the speed brakes.

After gliding for a distance, the J15S crashed into the arresting net and stopped like a shark caught in a fishing net.

After confirming that the landing was successful, the two pilots collapsed in the cockpit as if they had lost all their strength.

At the moment the fighter plane stopped, the ground crew sprinted 15 meters towards the JS, opened the canopy, carried out the exhausted pilot, put him on a stretcher and transferred him to the infirmary.

The damaged 140 aircraft was transferred to the parking area. After the ground crew cleared the deck, the [139] aircraft landed smoothly on the flight deck under the control of Zhang Peng.
