Chapter 179: Target Shooting at Sea

After continuing to fly over the East China Sea for more than half an hour, after crossing a distance of more than 500 kilometers, Yang Luo had to find a target floating on the sea.

"Call the command center, 301 arrives at the predetermined location, ready to turn to the target." Yang Luo called by radio communication.

"The command center receives it, it can turn, pay attention to the altitude cannot be lower than 2000 meters." The commander said calmly, "I wish you victory." ”

"301 understood." After Yang Luo responded, he pedaled the rudder and turned, turning to the southwest, while reducing the height of the lever.

Suddenly, the flight attitude of the 301 J-10C changed, from level flight to diving, from an altitude of 10,000 meters to 2,000 meters.

"According to the results I calculated yesterday, target number one should have floated to this position, and hopefully there will be no mistakes." Yang Luo pondered, his eyes staring at the sea level through the cockpit glass.

The sky was blue, the sun hung high in the sky, and although it was noon, the light released was not hot, but only warm.

The boundless sea level, rippling blue waves, sparkling, reflecting the sun's rays, the wind and waves are very small, and it can be regarded as calm.

There was not a single vessel on the sea, and after it was designated as a temporary military exclusion zone, all ships were notified through public channels to bypass the area.

A few minutes later, Yang Luo flew to the target location he had calculated, but Yang Luo did not find anything, it was empty at sea level.

"How is that possible?" Yang Luo's eyes widened, looking down at the sea level, his face full of incredulity.

"Did I miscalculate?"

"Impossible, the speed of the current...... Wait a minute. After carefully reviewing the content of the mission, and then looking at the almost calm sea level, Yang Luo found that he had made a very big mistake.

According to the content of the mission, the targets were dropped at four different locations at eight o'clock last night, and Yang Luo needed to find four targets and destroy them with rockets.

However, Yang Luo got the task content yesterday, and naturally used yesterday's current speed to calculate, ignoring an important factor - wind.

Yesterday the wind was strong, today it is very small, and the direction of the wind is not the same.

Yang Luo couldn't wait to slap himself in the face, he would make such a low-level mistake.

Because it can't be turned on autopilot, the tactical tablet can't be taken out, and it is impossible to query the time when the wind speed and direction change. Now, Yang Luo can only look visually according to the approximate area, and there is no other way.

"I remember that yesterday it was a westerly wind, and the wind speed in this sea area was 10 meters second, and today it is a south wind, and the wind speed is only 3 meters second, so the target should be in front of me on the left......" Yang Luo thought.

At the same time, he steered the fighter plane, and a pair of sharp eyes searched carefully in the sea ahead.

Sure enough, after flying more than ten kilometers, a target was found in front of the left, and a non-powered boat was quietly drifting with the tide on the sea, of course, just looking like a small boat.

"Report to the command center, 301 has found a target, request to shoot, over."

Although there is no specific image of the target for comparison, and Yang Luo has no experience in target shooting at sea, it can be determined that this is a target, just because this sea area is designated as a temporary military restricted area, it is impossible for a ship to break in.

"301 can shoot, over."

Through the image projected on the big screen, Yang Luo finally found the target, although it took a long time, but after all, it was found, and the commander immediately breathed a sigh of relief and gave instructions.

If Yang Luo, who participated in the assessment, couldn't even find a target, it would be a big joke, and they would have to reassess Yang Luo's potential.

"301 received, ready to shoot, over."

According to the content of the task, the height when shooting cannot be less than 1000 meters, the distance cannot be less than 2000 meters, and there will be no second chance if one shot hits.

Yang Luo lowered his head and dived, and through the airborne fire control radar and helmet sight, he locked onto the target floating on the sea surface.

At the current speed of the dive, when the altitude of 1,000 meters is reached, the distance is exactly 2,000 meters, so most of Yang Luo's attention is on the altimeter.

If it is a fixed target on land, Yang Luo may take on the challenge of launching rockets at a higher altitude and a longer distance.

But the target on the sea surface is not stationary, it will drift with the waves, and the difficulty is much higher than that of a fixed target, and Yang Luo has no experience in shooting targets at sea, so Yang Luo must be cautious and must be foolproof.

If the first rocket misses and there is no chance of remediation, there is no need to look for the next three targets, which means that the assessment has failed, and you can directly return to Dongling Station.

Although I don't know what kind of assessment this assessment is and what kind of rewards there will be, since he has participated, Yang Luo wants to have a perfect result and can't give up halfway.

The J-10C swooped down with the momentum of thunder, and when it was almost 1,000 meters to the critical point, Yang Luo quickly checked the side, confirmed that it was correct, and pressed the launch button at the top of the joystick.

Rockets, fire!

"Whew!"

In an instant, the rocket launcher mounted on the belly of the aircraft was energized and activated, and the rocket engine at the tail of a 90-mm guided rocket ignited, leaving the launcher like an arrow from the string, shooting out, dragging a long tail flame, and hitting the floating and sinking target on the sea along the predetermined trajectory.

"Boom!"

The 90-millimeter unguided rocket spanned a distance of more than 2,000 meters, hit a target floating on the sea, activated the warhead, and exploded violently, emitting a dazzling fire and stirring up a huge splash.

After the explosion of the rocket, the irregular metal fragments were as dense as raindrops, and the goddess scattered flowers flew in all directions at high speed, and finally all fell into the seawater, causing a splash.

The target was shattered by the force of the rocket explosion and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Report to the command center, the target has been destroyed, done."

Yang Luo didn't rush to get up to the height, but just changed his dive attitude and circled in the air for thousands of meters, waiting to make sure that the target had been destroyed, and then pulled up and left.

"Received by the command center, congratulations on your victory, and I hope you can also destroy the next three targets." The commander sincerely wished.

"Thank you."

With the specific location of the first target, after reversing, the average speed and direction of the current from last night to the present were roughly calculated, and the approximate position of the remaining three targets was quickly obtained.

Without any hesitation, Yang Luo pulled the rod to push the throttle valve and swept towards the nearest target.

There was no big mistake in the calculation, and soon Yang Luo found the second target, and as concocted, a rocket easily solved this target.

The third target was also easily solved.

But when it came to the fourth target, Yang Luo didn't know what was wrong, and searched in the calculated area, but he couldn't find the target, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
