Changkong Fighter

Chapter 67: Diverting trouble to the east
It was not until the surrounding electromagnetic interference disappeared that the 093 class contacted the command center via satellite communication.

"Report to the commander! The Virgo Superstar is leaving the danger zone!"

"Immediately send the Jiaolong Commando to completely clear out the militants on the ship and capture a few alive!" The commander said angrily, hoping that they could keep their mouths shut and enjoy the hospitality of the University of Tokyo more.

"understand!"

Following the commander's order, the subsequent Jiaolong assault team boarded the Shanghai Z-8 ​​and flew towards the Virgo from the nearest 055 destroyer.

"Two holes and two?"

"Reporting to the commander, we are still struggling with Type 1 and cannot contact them at the moment!"

Leng Peiqiang, who was sitting in the back seat, stared blankly at his junior brother's smooth control. To be honest, as HNA pilots, each of them was a child of destiny. He did not think that he was much worse than Liu Jun.

If you don't even have the courage to compete, then don't be a soldier.

Now, he was convinced. At least Leng Peiqiang didn't think he could continuously fire at the targets on the cruise ship in such a short time. He could hit 1-2 at most, instead of taking care of every target like a precise machine.

The radar screen was full of clutter and interference, and they immediately realized that the sentry chasing them had not left. They turned their heads to look outside the cockpit cover, looking for the sentry.

"No visual sighting of the target."

"Understood! Quickly disengage."

At high speed, Liu Jun used the last window to fire at the militants standing on the deck. He did not have time to see how much damage there was. After passing the field, he immediately pushed the throttle and flew away from the sinkhole.

The WS-10H was running at full power, providing the aircraft with strong power. After the previous hovering and CAS (close range fire support), the Flying Shark's energy was greatly reduced.

The six Sentinels swooping down from high altitude carried far more energy than the J6S. Liu Jun had to narrow the energy gap between the two sides.

As long as the energy difference is leveled, the J15S will not be caught up by the six Sentinels whether it chooses to retreat or not.

The machine gun was used in a 1V6 situation, and was bitten at six points. The PL11A carried had no launch window, so the wise choice was to disengage as quickly as possible.

This is also the reason why in modern air combat, fighter jets pay less and less attention to machine guns. After launching the missile, they will disengage. No one will be stupid enough to engage in a dogfight. That would be asking for death.

"Changkong! Visually focus on the target! Six o'clock!" The war eagle who had been on alert shouted.

The energy gap between the two sides cannot be widened in a short period of time. Liu Jun looked at the increasing airspeed and swept his eyes through the rearview mirror. Several bright spots were very conspicuous in the night sky, so he carefully observed their positions.

Huh? This time, the Sentinels chasing them weren't in the triangular formation they'd been in before, but were instead divided into three pairs!
In this pursuit formation, two of the fighters hold on to the six points tightly, and the remaining four fighters raid or ambush the enemy. The J15S that is held has almost no chance of turning the situation around.

Three groups of alien spacecraft formed a semi-encirclement and followed closely behind Liu Jun. The distance between the two sides was within 3KM and was still slowly approaching.

"Changkong! The target is approaching, two planes at six o'clock! Two planes at five o'clock! Two planes at seven o'clock!" Leng Peqiang, who was sitting in the back seat, said loudly.

"Understood!" He pulled the rod to continue the shallow dive, using gravity to accelerate, and his eyes kept scanning the rearview mirror to observe the distance between the two sides.

Outside the cockpit, the rain was getting heavier, and the sound of raindrops hitting the skin was getting louder and louder. The low-altitude turbulence continued to affect the flight trajectory of the J15S. Liu Jun focused his mind and concentrated on flying the fighter. Otherwise, at the current altitude, he would dive into the sea if he was not careful. He didn't want to be the first pilot from the University of Tokyo with a displacement!
The most important thing to do now is to pull up the nose of the plane, get out of the dangerous low altitude, and climb to higher altitude. However, the energy gap between him and the Sentinels that are chasing him closely has not widened, and the distance between the two sides is still slowly closing. Once Liu Jun pulls the stick to climb to higher altitude, the angle of attack of the J15S will change (slow down), and the six Sentinels will immediately come up.

With six Sentinels firing pulse lasers at the same time, it was only a matter of time before they were shot down. And parachuting in this kind of weather would be extremely dangerous!

The best option is to fly level to accumulate speed, wait for the energy of both sides to be equalized, and then climb to completely get rid of the sentry behind you.

The gorgeous glass-colored aircraft still looked like a work of art, without any raindrops staining their bodies, but the projection was a little distorted. At the position of the main body, the rain was constantly knocked away by the sentinels, revealing the outline of the sentinels.

Bad weather will affect optical projection, and Liu Jun took note of this feature.
-
Bad weather has a huge impact on radar. Rainfall will attenuate and scatter the radar signals of early warning aircraft, reducing the radar's detection range and accuracy, and affecting the ability to monitor and track targets.

The warning range of the E-2 early warning aircraft responsible for surveillance in the sky also became smaller.

Suddenly, a large amount of clutter appeared on the E-2 radar, along with seven targets. The combat support radar officer immediately reported loudly:
"Sir! 6? 7! Sea skimming! IFF unresponsive! Distance and course closing in on the Stout! Entering the attack path!"

"Notify the Stout immediately!"

In this kind of weather, not only the E-2 early warning aircraft, but also the radars of ships on the sea are severely interfered with. The influence of the earth's curvature and sea-skimming flight greatly reduces the radar detection range of the destroyer!
"No, the Stout has entered the interference zone and cannot be contacted!"

"Notify the USS Truman and dispatch the TFSC (Tactical Fighter Squadron) to intercept!"

"Yes, sir!"

E-2 orders sent to USS Harry S. Truman.

The TFSC Hyena Squadron on combat duty quickly ejected and took off, reunited in the air, and climbed to a higher altitude.

Twelve F12s formed a dense battle formation. Based on the lessons learned from the USS Carl Vinson, the human air force's tactics were not suitable for dealing with alien civilizations. The US military quickly improved its tactics and pulled out tactics from World War II.

The F18s formed two combat formations with different altitudes and flew towards the sea area where the USS Stout was located, with the standard Growler electronic warfare aircraft following behind.

"Hyena 1 to all aircraft, data link incoming"

[Magician (AWACS) calling Hyena Squadron, proceed to Alpha-8 (to avoid radio confusion, substitute A, A-8), alien craft approaching the USS Stout at 30 nautical miles, altitude 50, speed 1MBandit7]

"Hyena Squadron, Roger, Radar, Contact."

"Seeker head on! LOCK ON!"

"FOX3!"

After climbing to an altitude of 8000 meters and entering the range of AIM-120, the Hyena Squadron launched a full-scale missile attack!
The biggest warning that the USS Carl Vinson gave to the Navy was not to leave radar missiles in the interference zone before launching them. The seeker would not be able to capture the target at all. Apart from discarding the mount, keeping them would only become a dead weight that affects the maneuverability of the fighter.
