Changkong Fighter

Chapter 63 Low Altitude Reconnaissance
Gurgle. Bubbles rose from underwater and quickly merged into the sea water. The Jiaolong Commando was less than 200 meters away from the cruise ship.

Under the cover of night, the commandos carefully poked their heads out of the water and observed the Virgo in the distance.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities, the commandos made a gesture and slowly approached the ship's side with the help of thrusters, preparing to board the ship.

Right now
U.S. Army Combat Command in Hawaii.

"Sir, we're in trouble!"

The Virgo's route did not follow the Americans' plan to draw an arc and pass through the edge of the danger zone, but went straight under the tiankeng!
The leader who was responsible for planning the operation and selecting personnel to carry it out had a grim expression on his face and uttered the American national curse.

"What's going on? This isn't part of our plan!"

The most they wanted to do was to disgust the University of Tokyo, to put pressure on it, to gain some international face, and to prepare for future actions. He had no plans to do something that would directly offend the other side!
Otherwise, if the higher-ups want to ease the situation, they will just use him as a scapegoat. He doesn't want to be shot in the back and commit suicide!

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relations.

"Shit! We've been tricked!"

The experienced leaders realized that the people they had placed on Virgo were not only working for them, but also for other organizations! In other words, in addition to Dongda and the Americans, there was a third force involved, taking advantage of the Americans' plan to push forward!
At this point, how do you solve the problem? Of course, kick the ball away.

"Notify the USS Truman and ask them to find a way to intercept it."

Before he could finish his words, several men in black suits hurried into the command room, stepped forward to restrain him, and pressed him into a chair. An agent came forward and took out a document: "Sir, according to federal law, you have endangered national security. Please cooperate with us!"

It wasn't just this small leader. After discovering that their field staff had rebelled, the Americans immediately began a [special investigation] within the organization.

At the same time, a call from across the ocean also came into the East China University Command Center. At this time, the most important thing is to reconcile intelligence, otherwise it will be like dropping mud into your pants, and it will all be shit!
high altitude
Liu Jun controlled the J15S to quickly escape the danger zone without even looking. A sense of danger came from above his head, and the feeling gradually intensified, causing his temples to throb slightly, but that electric current feeling had not yet appeared.

"They're coming!"

Leng Peiqiang looked up and saw six bright spots like six light particles separating from the surrounding area of ​​the tiankeng and approaching them at an increasingly faster speed.

"We need to speed up and get rid of them!"

"Understood! I'll help you watch the back."

The two people have a clear division of labor in their work, which is also one of the advantages of a dual-seater system, as it can work with dual cores and dual threads.

Liu Jun pushed the throttle to speed up the Flying Shark, while the six Sentinels behind him chased them desperately. They dived down with potential energy and the speed exceeded 1.2 Mach. The distance between the two sides was slowly closing.

Liu Jun continued to dive, and the bow of the J15S plunged into the cumulonimbus clouds, and the cabin cover was immediately wet by raindrops.

It's raining.
The two WS-10H engines continuously draw air into the combustion chamber through the compressor, while the other part is ejected from the tail nozzle through another duct. The engine's rainwater intake-proof design prevents rainwater from entering, allowing the engine to operate normally in heavy rain.

However, Liu Jun still felt that the engine control lever was a bit heavy. Rainy days are often accompanied by strong winds and turbulence, which increase flight instability and may cause damage to the fuselage structure.

"Junior brother! I can't see clearly!" Leng Peiqiang looked out through the canopy. The rain caused visibility to drop sharply, and the visibility was only about 2 kilometers. This made him a little nervous. The radar had failed, and he mainly relied on IRST and visual search for the enemy.

Rainy days seriously affect vision. In such weather, it becomes a problem to visually find the cruise ship on the sea and guide it out of the dangerous area.

However, rain is also beneficial to them. Bad weather has a great impact on the Sentinel's pulse laser. Laser weapons will be affected by aerosols in the air. In such rainy weather, the air humidity is extremely high, and the energy carried by the pulse laser will quickly deplete, and its power and range will be reduced.

Liu Jun maneuvered the J15S through the clouds, and the altitude continued to decrease. As the altitude decreased, the air density at low altitude increased and the resistance also increased. The airspeed would be affected, but the benefit was that the lift of the aircraft would increase.

Swish!
Liu Jun felt his eyes brighten, and the J15S passed through the clouds, and he could see the sea below. Countless raindrops turned into silver threads connecting the sky and the earth, and the sound of the fuselage skin hitting the raindrops continued to be heard.

The silver threads affected his vision, the radio failed, and the IRST's search range was reduced, but his enhanced eyesight allowed him to see farther.

After maneuvering the plane to fly left and right in a serpentine pattern at low altitude for more than ten kilometers, a ball of light on the sea surface attracted Liu Jun's attention. The brief light illuminated the sea surface.

"Look at the target, three o'clock."

After saying that, Liu Jun controlled the joystick and flew towards the direction of the light.

As the distance got closer, Liu Jun soon discovered dots of lights appearing on the sea, which was the target they were looking for - the Virgo.

"I tried but it doesn't work. The radio noise is too loud!" Leng Peiqiang operated the radio and found that the interference noise was too loud and he couldn't establish communication with the Virgo below.

"Launch jammers and prepare for optical guidance!"

puff!puff!puff!
Heat-seeking flares were continuously thrown from the tail of the J15S, lighting up in the dark night sky. Soon, the heat-seeking flares were affected by the weather and extinguished in the rain, while the cruise ship below seemed to be invisible and maintained its original course and speed.

puff!puff!puff!
We continued to drop heat-seeking bombs, but Virgo still didn't respond!

"Junior brother, come closer and take a look."

Liu Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at the Virgo. The angle at which the J15S dropped the heat decoy bombs would definitely be seen by the first/second/third officers on duty. In addition, the previous explosion of the CJ-10 cruise missile would wake them up even if they were fast asleep.

Continue to decrease altitude, dive towards Virgo, and continue to decrease altitude.

The fighter plane circled at a low altitude of less than 300 meters above the Virgin SuperStar with the roar of its engine, and made a left bank. The two men observed the Virgin SuperStar visually. At this time, most of the lights on the cruise ship were off.

What is this? Liu Jun observed fleeting lights flashing around the control room from time to time, which looked like automatic weapons firing, and some people in black clothes were moving around on the deck.

At this moment, the onboard IRST captured the IR identification module. The resolution of modern IRST can reach 0.1-0.5 milliradians, and the detection range of individual targets is usually less than 1 km. At a low altitude of 300 meters, the IRST successfully identified friend or foe.

"It's our people!"
