Changkong Fighter

Chapter 53: Be the Best Warrior

Above the sky, a human aircraft and an alien aircraft were entangled like eagles fighting!

In the fierce fight, the altitude of the two planes kept decreasing. The Flying Shark plunged into the clouds. The WS-10 engine roared and tore through the clouds. The thin clouds were pierced by the bow of the aircraft. The only remaining canard tore open the "cotton ball", turned into a vortex to increase lift and hit the wings. When the fuselage passed through the clouds, a layer of white clothes was draped on the fuselage of the Flying Shark. The white mist scattered on the sky, forming a conspicuous contrail.

The moment the J15 flew out of the clouds, another triangular aircraft rushed out with its nose pointing in the direction of the Flying Shark.

As if it was a sign, the fighter plane rolled and turned sharply, pulled the stick, and avoided the attack of the sentry. The G-force pressed Liu Jun tightly on the seat. He held the joystick tightly with both hands, ready to avoid the next attack of the sentry.

The eyes behind the sunglasses were very calm, and his gaze occasionally swept across the rearview mirror in front of the cockpit to observe the specific location of the sentry.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Rolling 360 degrees, the Flying Shark continuously fired large-caliber flares (decoy bombs), and bright white lines converged behind the tail of the J15, eventually forming a beautiful circle, with the Sentinel shrouded in it.

Swish!
A pulsed laser invisible to the naked eye pierced the white wreath, just like Cupid's arrow hitting the bull's eye, except that this arrow was fatal.

"The laser's deflection is limited. The decoy's interference is limited."

Liu Jun calmly analyzed the sentry's search method in his mind. First of all, it was definitely not radar search, as it was itself a large ECM generator. So the only remaining methods were optoelectronic search, or more advanced search methods.

The photoelectric search system will be interfered with by the fired heat-attracting bombs, but the sentry attack will be slightly affected after the large-caliber flares block the heat source of the aircraft.

However, contrary to the calm thinking of the brain, the blood in the body is constantly boiling. After the physical strengthening and life amplification, the heart beats rapidly, continuously transporting blood to all parts of the body. The adrenaline secreted under tension makes Liu Jun even more excited.

At this distance, if you are not careful, the pulse laser will hit you. The threat of death, as if dancing on the tip of a needle and being shot down if you are not careful, made Liu Jun deeply addicted to it.

Yes, that’s what it feels like!
The exhilarating enjoyment of dog fighting!

A confrontation of strength, wisdom and physique!
Liu Jun became more and more excited, with the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably. He became a pilot just to pursue this, a sense of excitement that no extreme sport could give him!
The fired flare affected Liu Jun's vision, but in his mind he firmly locked onto the position of the sentinel.

Five o'clock, above, distance, 400
Count to 1.6 seconds in your mind and roll!

At this time, the J15 has entered a defensive circling descent (descending shear), constantly avoiding attacks from behind through small radius rolls. When a fighter obtains a close-range attack position behind a slow-flying opponent, this kind of maneuvering flight often occurs!
Liu Jun successfully avoided the opponent's attack again, generating enough AOT to interfere with the sentry's cannon attack. In the helmet sight, the flight altitude at this moment has reached 8000!

This downward shear is not infinite, there is a very obvious limitation, that is the sea surface below!

If you keep tangling like this, you'll end up diving into the sea.
After a brief period of engagement, Liu Jun had already gained a preliminary understanding of the enemy's capabilities. This was crucial for air combat; only by understanding the enemy's performance characteristics could one formulate tactics tailored to their weaknesses. Four o'clock, distance 300!

Now, it's time to end the scissors game!
He reduced the throttle with his left hand and pulled the joystick with his right hand. After dodging the opponent's attack again, Liu Jun took advantage of the 1.6-second attack interval to open the J15's speed brake.

The speed brakes on the aircraft's back were hydraulically propped up, increasing the aircraft's induced drag and rapidly decreasing its indicated speed. A roll was applied to direct the J-15's lift vector towards the Sentinel, and it began to level out, creating the maximum track angle over the enemy and spreading out to create track separation.

Track separation is a very important part in air combat. Only with sufficient track separation can the nose of the aircraft be pointed at the enemy!
With a set of skilled movements, J15 suddenly stopped in the air as if it had stepped on the brakes. The sentry that was following closely behind and holding on to Liu Jun had no speed brake to slow it down. This was the sentry's biggest flaw!

It is not easy for a fighter jet to slow down in a dive. Without the assistance of a speed brake, inertia will increase the turning radius when leveling off.

Rolling the aircraft 180 degrees, within Liu Jun's visual range, in the black (black vision) world, the colorful aircraft could not slow down like a flying shark, and dived down with the inertia of a dive. At this moment, Liu Jun increased the throttle, pulled the correct G, and retracted the speed brake in one go, pursuing the lagging aircraft.

The J15 that paused in the sky swooped down and cut into the sentry's six o'clock position. The reflection of the enemy plane in his pupils rapidly enlarged - tail bite!
Liu Jun stared at the box in the HUD that kept changing the flight trajectory, his eyes narrowed slightly: I’m biting you!

After the spatial perception was upgraded, the position of the sentry body was identified more accurately than before. Liu Jun stepped on the steering wheel to point to the area and applied a little force with his index finger on the machine gun trigger.

Then, Liu Jun released his index finger. The enemy could shoot down the plane at any time, but now the sentinel was no longer a threat. After all, the enemy's energy weapon was also a forward-firing weapon and could not fire backwards.

[Red Fox-2 bites the enemy at six o'clock! Repeat! Red Fox-2 bites the enemy at six o'clock!]

Through the video footage observed by WZ7's optical sensor, everyone in the command center felt like they were watching a "Hollywood blockbuster" belonging to the University of Tokyo!
"Zhang Jun's generals are so brave! Excellent! Excellent!"

The old leader, who usually spoke very little, spoke in dialect and nodded continuously, with nothing else to say except satisfaction.

Dare to fight! Can fight! Know how to fight! This is the best fighter!
In addition to being excited about their comrades' fierce performance, the technicians were also interested in the combat data on the J15. This was a complete 1V1 dogfight, and the PL8B combat bullet was fired at close range!
The two sides' aircraft kept intertwining, and the data collected was enormous. It was a pity that the J15 was not equipped with an EODAS system, otherwise the data collected would be more comprehensive and more accurate!
"Strange? Why aren't you firing yet? Are you not sure?" a technician asked curiously.

On the big screen, the two aircraft that were fighting each other before were now like performing a duet. The Sentinel kept trying to turn and point the nose forward to fire, while the Flying Shark behind him simply copied the opponent's maneuvers, making all its maneuvers useless.

The J15 held on to the Sentinel's six o'clock position tightly. No matter how the Sentinel changed its flight direction and attitude, it could not get rid of the Flying Shark behind it.

"This is."

Even those who don't understand air combat have realized a truth at this moment:
The Sentinel was captured by Red Fox-2!
