In the depths of the vast ocean, the blue sea is calm like a mirror reflecting the entire sky, and the gentle sea breeze blows on the face, and the whole world is more open than ever.
On the aircraft carrier Mogadishu, the main force of the Eighth Fleet of the Red Alert Navy, busy figures are all over the entire aircraft carrier.
Outside, the sun has set, and the young carrier-based aircraft pilots who have slept during the day are gathering in the canteen, and the aircraft carrier galley, which has not rested for almost 24 hours, is definitely the liveliest place on the warship.
The aircraft carrier operates at high intensity, and the operation is carried out in three shifts, that is, the galley here has to prepare a meal every three hours, and there are people here to eat all the time.
Some were pilots of carrier-based aircraft who had just landed, some were ground crews who did not have time to come down to eat after the previous meal, and some were staff officers of aircraft carriers.
In short, it is difficult to have a fixed time for eating here, and now that the aircraft carrier has entered the war zone, no one knows when the alarm will sound, and maintaining physical strength at all times is something that every aircraft carrier crew member must do.
Otherwise, there may be no time to eat for more than 10 hours in a row, which may affect the normal operation of the aircraft carrier.
If an aircraft carrier wants to give full play to its combat effectiveness, it needs the cooperation of every personnel, and if there is a problem in one place, it may affect the overall coordination of the aircraft carrier.
Eating is a person's top priority, and the other is rest. Even on a high-strength aircraft carrier, rest is still something that every crew member must complete. It is no longer a matter of personal spirituality, but a mandatory order.
On the aircraft carrier of the Somali Navy. Everyone's rest time is twelve hours, except for the prescribed eight hours of sleep, the rest of the time is relatively free, but eight hours of sleep is a hard indicator.
Because once the aircraft carrier is involved in a high-intensity battle, all of them are not allowed to rest and must get up at their posts.
In the dark, pilots on night flight alert missions got out of tight bunks under the automatic alarm clock for the landing of carrier-based aircraft.
Gather towards the cafeteria. Male and female pilots came together, and Alena was part of the group, even though she wasn't very young now.
"Alena, you stayed well in the First Air Division, how could you apply to come to the aircraft carrier." Alena, who had come to the table with her own dinner plate, had just sat down when she heard a male pilot ask on the other side.
"Zhang Mingyuan, didn't you also apply to become a carrier-based aircraft pilot from the Second Air Division?" Alena said without looking up.
"It's not the same, you're turned from a drone pilot. I have always longed for the blue sky and the sea, and this is the sky I yearn for. Zhang Mingyuan said.
"I just wish I could fly the fighter plane myself and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." Alena said calmly, in her arms. A photo from 14 years ago accompanied her 14 years of military career.
"Alena, who had heard about the First Aviation Division for a long time, was the first pilot to be recruited. A strong woman who does not lose to any male pilot, now it seems. The rumors are not false at all. Next to Zhang Mingyuan, another male pilot said.
"Our 8th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing has been established for less than a year. But I believe that it will definitely bloom the most dazzling glory in our hands. Zhang Mingyuan said excitedly.
This remark immediately aroused the echo of everyone around, many of them were old pilots, and many of them were new faces.
However, everyone except Alena came to the base, but no one knew the difference between them. Here, they are all comrades-in-arms, as a whole. That's enough.
"I will be the first ace pilot of the wing, my husband is an ace pilot, and I will be like him." Alena said firmly.
"Come on." At the dinner table, everyone cheered her on at the same time.
At this moment, a terrible siren suddenly sounded, and the communicators on all the pilots also sounded at the same time.
Battle Alert, Level 1!
Almost all the pilots put down the cutlery in their hands at the same time, and they were not stunned at this time, they all spread their legs and ran outside, and no one even bothered to say a word.
As they approached the cockpit, the roar of the fighter engines came overhead, which was the sound of a fighter plane on the deck preparing to take off as it ejected into the air.
The fighters on duty on the deck began to take off as soon as the alarm sounded, and the fighters waiting to take off behind also quickly moved the fighters to the catapults.
Fighters on combat readiness duty will be on high alert at any time and place, and they must take off as soon as the alarm sounds.
"It's the 3rd Squadron on combat readiness, good luck to them." Zhang Mingyuan muttered to himself, and the people around him were silent.
In the equipment room, everyone began to change into flight suits, under normal circumstances, they had to go to the war briefing room to learn about the mission first, but the first level of combat alert means that there is no such rich time.
All pilots must be replaced with pilots as soon as possible, go to their own fighter planes to standby, and once it is time to take off, the combat briefing will be directly transmitted to the fighter plane after takeoff.
At this moment, all the pilots of the entire Eighth Carrier-based Aircraft Wing gathered in the equipment room, and no one spoke, just quietly took off their regular clothes and changed into flight suits.
No one asked anything at all, and no one was curious to find out what was going on, because it was not peacetime, and there was only one possibility that the alarm sounded, and they needed to go to war.
The pilots who changed into flight suits quickly ran to the parking room, where the ground maintenance pilots were already waiting for them, and quickly explained the maintenance and maintenance of the fighter to the pilot.
After learning that their fighter could take off smoothly, every pilot got on the fighter plane as soon as possible, and then with the help of a trailer. Take the lift to the deck and wait for takeoff.
"First Squadron, are you nervous?" After getting on the fighter plane. The electronic communication began to open, and Zhang Mingyuan shouted in the squadron channel for the first time.
"A world without enemies. It's worth being nervous. A voice rang out, eliciting echoes from everyone.
For these blue sky pride, the air is the place to realize value, and there is no fear at all in their hearts, and some are the determination to fight.
"Alena, the female knight of our first squadron, is you nervous about flying a fighter plane for the first time?" Zhang Mingyuan asked again.
Apollo carrier-based aircraft under the cobble-oval glass cover, on the car. Alena was indeed a little difficult to calm down at the moment, and she didn't hide her thoughts, and said honestly: "To be honest, it's a little difficult to calm down. β
Speaking of this, she continued: "But please rest assured, captain, it's just a little bit, I can overcome it immediately." β
Zhang Mingyuan's question was just a routine act, because according to the information, this was the first time that Alena took to the air in a fighter plane. Every newcomer will be nervous, his job is not only to lead the squadron to complete the tasks assigned by the fleet, but also to pay attention to the mental state of each pilot.
In an air engagement, the psychological quality of the pilot is more important than the quality of the fighter. In this world, there are many pilots who parachute once they are locked by missiles, and this is the factor that the psychological quality is not up to par.
This factor is highly likely to cost the pilot's life. Therefore, every captain must be before the official liftoff. Make sure your men can withstand the pressure of the engagement.
And this time it was obviously a night flight mission, and there was no strong mental quality. The average pilot is simply not up to the task.
Although he also believes that Alena is already a qualified carrier-based aircraft pilot after systematic training, he must still be responsible for her safety.
As soon as he felt that Alena was unfit for combat, he would order her to leave the combat duty now and be replaced by a substitute pilot on combat duty.
Alena's answer, Zhang Mingyuan didn't say anything, he supported her determination, so he believed that she could control her nervousness about the unknown.
Alena didn't speak, the soldier is obedience to orders, and all her thoughts at this time are to follow the group to the sea to fight.
The fighters slowly came to the deck, and the flight commander immediately ordered all the fighters of the first squadron to prepare for takeoff.
Soon one after another fighters came to the take-off line and waited, and Alena and Zhang Mingyuan were the last two fighters to take off.
The comrades in front had already taken off in turn, and under the gesture of the ground crew, the two controlled the fighter plane to the catapult.
The signal light for take-off flashed, the ground guide made a take-off gesture, the fighter engines began to roar, and the catapult control center pressed the ejection button.
Under the electromagnetic catapult, the speed of the two fighters was increased to more than 200 kilometers per hour in just a distance of 100 meters.
Almost at the same time, both of them pulled up their joysticks, and the moment the fighter left the deck, it began to fly towards the sky.
Alena piloted the fighter plane to climb quickly, and the brightly lit fleet under her was exceptionally beautiful on the dark sea, but as the height of the fighter increased, it soon disappeared from sight.
The voice of the wing commander reached the ears of every pilot, "All the air eagles of the Eighth Carrier-based Aircraft Wing, this is the first battle of our Eighth Carrier-based Aircraft Wing, as the so-called first battle will be won with me, and at the same time, this battle is also the prelude to our life-and-death decisive battle with the enemy in the Indian Ocean, whether it is for our own honor or the honor of the naval aviation as a whole, we can only use meritorious service to write our glory."
The FΓΌhrer and the command have high expectations for us, and we can only report their faith and cultivation with our achievements. Now, the combat briefing has been sent to the terminal of each fighter, please check it yourself, and the early warning opportunity will give us a second guidance. May the will of the FΓΌhrer be with us and accompany me in slaying the enemy. β
At the same time, a briefing on the mission's mission appeared on the integrated screen of the fighter.
The briefing was very simple: NATO's Pacific Combined Fleet had a huge naval force at home, directly approaching the central Indian Ocean, and the vanguard was a two-carrier battle group composed of two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the US military. Two of the four major anti-submarine fleets of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force followed in the vanguard.
At present, the early warning atmosphere of the vanguard fleet has approached the alert airspace of the Eighth Fleet. Their mission was simple, to take out the alert carrier-based aircraft of the enemy's vanguard fleet.
Task requirements. They took out as fast as possible the squadrons of carrier-based aircraft that were close to the periphery of the fleet, but they were not allowed to get close to the local fleet. And once it is discovered that the US carrier-based aircraft are coming to support, they will be out of the battle as soon as possible.
No one questioned such an order. As the so-called generals are not subject to military orders abroad, but that is also in an emergency, and there is no one who carries out the order and wants to revise the order.
As the executors at the grassroots level, although they are very confused about this order, they do not raise any doubts, as long as the order is executed, the tactical level is not something they can consider.
"Empty layer control 120, change the geese flying formation."
Zhang Mingyuan soon gave the formation order. The other five carrier-based aircraft of the entire squadron all followed him, forming a semicircular arc flying angle.
"Lookout 77 calls the first squadron, the empty layer is maintained at 120, the bearing is adjusted to the right fifteen degrees, and after five hundred kilometers, it is the area of engagement."
The first squadron received an early warning from the early warning aircraft, and Zhang Mingyuan immediately ordered: "Maintain the current speed, and after arriving at the sky over the battlefield area, Alena and I will form an advanced command group." Fifteen kilometers ahead of the group, turn on the active scanning radar, and the other two squads, remain silent. β
"Alena understands." Alena immediately adjusted her course. Follow Zhang Mingyuan forward and leave the group for fifteen kilometers, in the position of leading the flight.
The four fighters in the back are divided into four fan-shaped planes. Follow behind them.
The distance of 500 kilometers was quickly reached.
"The command group is preparing to break away from the formation. After receiving the passive signal, Alena turns on the active radar scanning. Zhang Mingyuan ordered: "All pay attention." The other two squads, keeping a distance of 40 kilometers from the left and right flanks of the formation, found the target, and went around their flanks or rear. β
"Second squad understood."
"Team 3 understands."
"Captain, Alena has something to say."
"This is an order, and it will be carried out resolutely."
Zhang Mingyuan didn't give Alena a chance to speak, so he switched to the words: "Do you blame me?" β
"Captain, Alena is determined to carry out orders." Alena didn't show any mood swings, she said.
Zhang Mingyuan didn't say anything, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that in the face of unknown stealth fighters at night, taking the initiative to turn on the radar was not so much to search for the other party as to attract the other party. If you say it sounds good, it's called bait, and if you say it doesn't sound good, it's a target.
Zhang Mingyuan did this to allow himself and his wingman to attract the enemy, and once the enemy spotted them and turned on the radar or launched an attack, he would expose himself, and then others would seize the opportunity to attack.
Although Alena is also in the command team, she plays an important role.
Zhang Mingyuan exposed himself to the enemy, which naturally attracted firepower, and he also fully trusted her, because Alena had a lot of responsibility and needed to attack by surprise and disrupt the rhythm of the other party.
Otherwise, Zhang Mingyuan will really fall into a crisis, and when the time comes, everything will be to kill the enemy without dying.
And Alena hoped that she would attract the enemy's firepower and attract them from the stealth of the night, but Zhang Mingyuan naturally couldn't allow her to do so.
She fully understood the captain's trust, and with the battlefield orders, she knew she couldn't change anything, she could only carry it out.
Any willfulness may lead to the annihilation of the fleet, which also makes obedience to orders a standard of life and death.
Flying into the target airspace, the night is like ink, and the danger is hidden under this endless starry sky, and no one knows when the enemy in the dark depths will appear.
The unknown is often the most frightening, at this time, no one can maintain inner peace, nervousness is the most instinctive reaction of human beings.
Alena tried to calm herself down as much as she could, she didn't dare to be nervous, and she couldn't be afraid.
Intently looking at the gauge in front of her, she was waiting for the moment when the passive alert radar received the signal.
As for the window, no one can see anything at the moment, so there is no need to look.
Suddenly, a warning sound came from the radar receiver, but it was not Alena's radar receiver, but Zhang Mingyuan.
Two obvious targets appeared on the radar, and he immediately shared the information of the enemy aircraft with other fighters.
And the other party also responded to the found Zhang Mingyuan with Operation Century, and the targets of the two enemy planes suddenly accelerated instantaneously and quickly dived and turned in the air.
Zhang Mingyuan didn't have time to think too much, because he now had to speed up and launch missiles to counterattack as soon as the opponent entered the range of the missile.
At this time, in the night sky, four missiles were already flying towards him, and the two missiles he launched were also out of sight.
At a distance of 80 kilometers, it will be very difficult for the missiles of both sides to hit the enemy, even if neither side takes evasive measures to deal with them.
At this time, Alena was also following behind his fuselage according to the order given by Zhang Mingyuan, approaching the enemy plane.
The other fighters also carried out the order, and separated into two groups to outflank them.
At this moment, however, there was a rattle in everyone's headsets, the result of radio interference.
On the radar screen, snowflakes appeared, although the system anti-jamming repair had been turned on for the first time, but this could not be completed in a short time.
With the radar down for a moment, it is simply impossible to visually detect the enemy in the dark night sky, let alone use a combat cannon at close range, no one has such a chance.
However, in order to prevent the enemy from mastering his actions, Zhang Mingyuan also started the jamming device as soon as possible, and if the enemy wanted to make himself blind, then he would make the enemy blind.
Otherwise, a night air battle in which the enemy is in the dark and in the open will have only one result, that is, unilateral slaughter, even if the fighters are advanced, there will be no chance to resist.
Both sides are already very familiar with this kind of mutual interference, and turning on jamming and counter-jamming has long become the instinctive reaction of all pilots.
The probability of a missile being launched from 80 kilometers away to hit an enemy plane is less than 20 percent, and the opponent is a stealth fighter, so this probability will drop to an even lower level.
However, what Zhang Mingyuan has to do now is to continue to attract firepower, he knows very well that the enemy cannot have only two fighters, and in the dark, there must be more enemy planes hidden, but they are not exposed.
So, what he has to do now is not to kill the enemy, but to continue to attract the enemy's enemy firepower. (To be continued......) u
