Changkong Fighter

Chapter 70 Leaving
Looking at the Arleigh Burke-class aircraft carrier so close, Liu Jun had no way to retreat and could only move forward!

When the enemy entered within 5 km of the USS Stout, all the soldiers on the destroyer felt as if their hearts and lungs had stopped.

Modern warfare is not World War II. Being penetrated by the enemy within 100km is extremely fatal for any warship, especially when it is interfered with by electromagnetic clutter.

"Sir! The enemy is approaching! Distance 6000!"

"5500!"

"Open fire! Stop them! Smoke bombs!" Captain Stout shouted orders.

As the captain gave the order, the Stout's main gun turned its muzzle and pointed it at the incoming enemy, while the secondary gun phalanx also turned its muzzle and fired at full force.

This US destroyer is doing its best to survive.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Inside the VSL, the loaded Standard 2 missiles were still being fired, and the RAM missile was also making its final effort to launch all the remaining missiles!
Bang! Bang! Bang! The main gun fired VT shells one after another.
Da da da da da da... The six 20MM barrels of the secondary gun rotated at high speed, the search radar ran rapidly, and the fire control radar switched to optoelectronic tracking under the interference of clutter, trying its best to lock and follow the target.

The 20mm 6-barrel Gatling gun spewed out fierce flames, and the shells poured out at an extremely high rate of fire, shooting towards the target like a storm.

In just a few seconds, dense rain of bullets intertwined in the air into a deadly firepower network, with powerful destructive power, trying to completely destroy the invading enemy.

At the same time, smoke bombs with the ability to mask the heat source signals of ships were also launched to shield the hull and prevent possible attacks from missiles or other weapons. The US military is still fighting in the same way as it confronts other countries.

close!

Closer!
Pulling the safety on the throttle valve, Liu Jun pushed the throttle valve to the bottom, the engine air intake sucked in a large amount of air, and the afterburner mode started!

The Flying Shark suddenly increased its speed as if it had turned on its jump engine, interfering with the tracking of the optoelectronic system and changing the lead angle of the shooting.

Faced with the dense array of missiles so close, it was not enough to just turn on the afterburner. Liu Jun controlled the Flying Shark under extremely extreme conditions and made a second small-angle turn, successfully avoiding the steel barrage.

However, the sentinels behind him were not so lucky. One of the sentinels crashed directly into the steel wall of the Phalanx components, shattered in an instant, and the wreckage fell onto the sea.

"Changkong! They're still following!"

The remaining five Sentinels seemed to be determined to keep a close eye on Liu Jun. They were not distracted by the firepower of the Stout and continued to chase him from behind.

Ding dong! Ding dong! The UV proximity warning system sounded an alarm, alerting the two of another incoming missile wave. However, because the launch range was too close, the missiles had no time to perform high-g maneuvers before the Flying Shark flew through the seeker's field of view. The missiles, having lost their target, began inertial navigation, flying into the sky on a strange trajectory, and finally exploded.

In front of the supersonic J15S, an ordinary person might not even take off his pants. Liu Jun looked at the hull getting closer and closer, slightly pulled the lever to increase the pressure, and the J15S passed through the Arleigh Burke class like performing an acrobatic trick.

The supersonic air currents ripped across the deck, sending some soldiers plummeting to the ground, their heads bleeding. Several Sentinels behind them, entering the effective range of the pulse lasers, unleashed a barrage of high-energy pulses. The lasers' energy was weakened by the aerosols in the air and the smoke bombs released. The Arleigh Burke was pierced several times in the side by the pulse lasers.

A Sentinel following closely behind slammed into the hull of the Arleigh Burke, and the glass-colored body structure shattered, like a fine work of art hitting the ground, and the middle section of the Stout's hull also exploded with a bang, and some aircraft wreckage mixed with hull fragments flew out and fell into the sea.

The entire hull shook violently due to the impact, the ship's firepower was interrupted, a huge hole appeared at the impact point, a fire broke out, and the alternator dragged the net.
Liu Jun had no time to check what happened to the Stout. After passing it, he immediately pulled the lever to climb to a high altitude. The remaining four Sentinels continued to follow Liu Jun and climb to a high altitude together.

Tsk. Liu Jun looked at the sentry who was still following him in the rearview mirror, and looked at the fuel level of the J15S as if he had autism. If he continued to fly forward, he would fly to the American aircraft carrier. He had to return to the Shandong as soon as possible.

Height 3000
Height 3500
Leng Peiqiang, who was sitting in the back seat, drooped his head. He shuddered and looked outside. His fragmented memory came back to life, and he found that the altitude of J15S had returned to 4000 meters.
"Changkong, the enemy is still at six o'clock!"

"I know. I'll try to get rid of them."

The J15S dived into the cumulonimbus cloud. Liu Jun suddenly looked up. In his [Situational Awareness], he saw multiple aircraft approaching from above!

Liu Jun stepped on the rudder, and the J15S performed an upward barrel roll in the air, avoiding the collision course with the opponent.

In the thick dark clouds, a gray-painted fighter jet and a low-visibility-painted J15S crossed each other. At the moment of crossing, Liu Jun turned his head and saw with his extraordinary eyesight the model of the other aircraft - F18!

Hurray!
The F18 pilot was frightened by the sudden appearance of the Flying Shark and began to evade after crossing each other.

The two fighter planes flew upward and downward respectively.

The bow of the J15S pierced through the cumulonimbus cloud, and the rain dissipated instantly.

The moonlight was like water, pouring down on the clouds, and there was silence. However, in contrast, a dazzling fire suddenly erupted from the cumulonimbus clouds below. The light of the explosion penetrated the clouds like light through frosted glass, and the faint light appeared and quickly disappeared.

In such bad weather, lowering altitude and using Sentinel WVR are the worst options, but Liu Jun understands these pilots on the other side of the ocean very well. The order from their superiors is to let them cover the Stout.

The F18 Hyena Squadron exchanged fire with the Sentinels and also held back the four Sentinels behind them. The specific situation was unclear due to the obstruction of clouds, but Liu Jun wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly leave the battlefield. The Flying Shark was running low on fuel and had reached the mission warning line. If it did not return, it would run out of fuel and crash halfway through the flight.

"IRST captures the target, number 6! At 3 o'clock, distance 5000! 4800! Turn on the track light!" Leng Peiqiang operated the onboard equipment.

In this situation where communications and radars are all jammed, IFF cannot be used, and the enemy can only be searched by visual and optoelectronic means, the track lights on the wings of the J15S are equivalent to IFF, telling the other side that there is no enemy here.

It's a pity that the Flying Shark does not have the EODAS system, otherwise it would be able to obtain better omnidirectional perception in this situation. The electro-optical distributed aperture radar is not cheap and is a standard feature of the fifth-generation aircraft.
