Rows of new carrier-based fighters and bombardment fighters lined up on the tarmac at Fuzhou Airport, emitting a dark and bright light. The new carrier-based aircraft finally revealed its mystery, and the carrier-based fighter was officially named the Flying Eagle, which was modified on the basis of the J-1 fighter. In order to be suitable for sea operations, carrier-based aircraft are smaller in size and shorter in range than those on shore. The carrier-based bomber is a copy of the US Wildcat-type carrier-based bomber. This time, according to the unified deployment of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, there were no torpedo planes.

As for the lack of torpedo planes, the reason is that the Jiangxi Air Force Ordnance Research Institute is developing an air-directed guided bomb. The bomb was made with the use of aircraft over the ocean to tailor and carry out precision strikes against warships. The principle is to use the huge magnetic power of the battleship itself to lead the missile to fly to the target, and destroy the target with precise guidance. The aerial bomb can also be called the most rudimentary magnetic missile. It has the same characteristics as magnetic mines, but the sensitivity is much higher than that of magnetic mines.

This magnetically guided bomb cannot be dropped over long distances and must be over the target in order to be effective. In addition, the bomb had no guidance for targets that did not have magnetism. Since there are primary guided bombs, there is no need for torpedo machines.

At this time, two aircraft carrier warships were moored on the sea, and the momentum was magnificent. Two aircraft carriers, of which the flagship 0011 was named Zhongshan, and the second aircraft carrier was named Great Wall. The tonnage and data of the aircraft carrier are roughly the same as those launched in 43 and renamed again, and the American aircraft carrier Hornet is about the same. The difference is that the upper deck of the aircraft carrier is not equipped with any weapon systems except for the control tower, so a lot of space is saved on the deck, and fighters can be parked to the maximum extent in wartime.

In addition, the aircraft carrier-based aircraft has also been greatly reduced, which is to prepare for the further upgrading and transformation of aircraft carriers in the future. At present, the number of carrier-based aircraft of each aircraft carrier is 60, including 4 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, 30 carrier-based fighters, and 26 carrier-based bombers. So far, the escort fleet has only two destroyers and five attack submarines. It can be said that the aircraft carrier warship is basically a bare-bones commander. This is the status quo, but the possession of aircraft carriers itself is enough proof that the Chinese Navy has been born with a powerful appearance.

On the side of the apron of the airport, Tie Ning, the captain of the carrier-based aircraft group, stood in front of the queue with his whole body neatly draped and energetic. He was flanked by a team of equally well-dressed pilots. Tie Ning's face was filled with excitement, and so was the mood of his subordinates. The blue sky is like a wash, there is not a trace of clouds in the sky, the winter sun seems to have lost its previous majesty, the temperature can reach more than ten degrees, and the state is suitable for flight training, and this flight training means the beginning of an epoch-making.

At the end of the victory of the Taiwan Campaign, the Tiening 1st Flying Brigade was all requisitioned and transferred to Poyang Lake, Jiangxi. A special airstrip has appeared on the eastern shore of Poyang Lake, which is located on the shore of the lake, connecting to the land at one end and reaching out to the lake area at the other. They didn't expect that the new fighter plane that appeared in front of them was a carrier-based aircraft, and when they learned that they were going to become the first batch of carrier-based aircraft pilots in the Chinese Navy, Tie Ning and his subordinates hugged each other excitedly. Next, Tie Ning and his subordinates began a six-month high-definition "landing" training.

After five consecutive months of high-intensity training, 10 carrier-based aircraft were lost, and two pilots were killed and 8 were wounded. You must know that although the aircraft carrier platform simulated by the lake is realistic, after all, it is connected to the land, and having a reference object has little impact on the pilot's psychological factors. In addition, the simulated aircraft carrier platform is fixed and the deck of the aircraft carrier warship is shaky, these factors will cause the carrier-based aircraft to appear in two very different states during take-off and landing, which is particularly difficult and dangerous for the pilot.

The headquarters requires that the landing training is only 10 days, and the mission must be completed with quality and quantity. For this reason, Tao Yong, commander of the fleet, in order to ensure that there would be no accidents when Lao Jiang came to inspect, ordered Tie Ning to select 20 outstanding pilots to first master the take-off and landing training. was about to pilot the new carrier-based aircraft to pedal the ship, although he was excited, Tie Ning was still apprehensive. At this time, the flight tower commander waved a small flag and gave the order to take off. Tie Ning ordered boarding and ran to a carrier-based bomber first. Since carrier-based bombers are larger and clumsier than fighter aircraft, it is much easier to land a fighter fighter if they land safely on a carrier-based bomber.

Tie Ning was the first to pilot the carrier-based bomber into the runway taxi, and then the second entered the runway taxiing ・・・・・・. After all 20 fighters took off, Tie Ning led the formation of the aircraft group and flew around the airfield, then roared towards the sea. In the airport terminal, a ground commander looked at the direction in which the group was flying, and said with a long sigh: "Our mission has been completed, and we will immediately send a report to Commander Tao of the fleet that the first batch of 20 landed planes will take off safely." ”

The eastern coast of the airport is about 2 nautical miles from the shore, and the aircraft carriers Zhongshan and the Great Wall are lined up in a north-south formation, with a distance of about 10,000 meters between the two aircraft carriers. Two destroyers and five submarines are on alert in the deep water area, and several lifeboats are on standby in front of and behind the aircraft carrier. On the deck of the flagship aircraft carrier, Tao Yong, the commander of the fleet, stood with a solemn expression. He looked at his watch from time to time and could see the anxiety in his heart. Thousands of calls come out, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. The day of the landing of carrier-based aircraft has finally arrived, but it is also the most tense moment.

Suddenly, the alarm sounded, and the ground crew on the deck quickly entered the designated position. "Report, received a report from the airport, the fighter plane took off on time and arrived in 5 minutes!" An officer on duty stepped forward to report. "Ready to pick up!" "Yes!" Soon the group appeared in the sky, and Tao Yong's mood immediately became nervous, but his expression was calm. The group circled over the battleship to reduce its altitude, only to see a fighter plane swooping down towards the stern.

Tie Ning piloted the fighter plane and took the lead in landing on the white horizontal line on the runway at the stern of the ship. The white horizontal line at the stern of the ship is a sign of safe taxiing, and the length of the white line covers the entire runway horizontally and has a longitudinal width of 3 meters. When the nose wheel of the aircraft lands on the deck, if the landing point is on the outside of the white line, it is excellent, and there is no problem with taxiing stopping. The front wheels are considered unqualified if they are located in the white line area, but the glide does not rush into the sea. If the front wheel goes over the white line, it's dangerous. The iron condensation landing is smooth and neat, and the front wheels are 10 meters away from the white line.

Tao Yong saw the first carrier-based bomber stop at a safe distance from the bow of the ship, and his nervousness eased. The second front wheel was on the white line, Tao Yong's heart was raised again, there was no danger, the fighter stopped outside the cordon, but there was no big problem. The 10 carrier-based aircraft landed smoothly, and everyone was in a relaxed mood. However, there was a problem with the 11th plane, because the altitude was not grasped properly, the front wheel landed 5 meters over the white line, and watched the fighter plane cross the bow and plant into the sea. The bow of the ship was 20 meters deep, and the fighter plane fell into the sea, and the lifeboat immediately came to rescue the pilot. It doesn't hurt for the fighter to sink to the bottom of the sea, and it is not difficult to salvage it.

Perhaps affected by the previous one, the 12th also slipped into the sea with improper maneuvering. Subsequently, two more fighters slid into the sea, with a landing rate of 80 percent. Tie Ning ran to Tao Yong with some trepidation. "Report to the commander, we have completed the mission, please punish me!" Tao Yong looked at Tie Ning with a solemn expression and said nothing! Tie Ning was a little hairy, "Commander, I ・・・・・・!" "I said I'd punish your mom for playing the piano indiscriminately. Immediately gather his subordinates to sum up their experience, take off an hour later, and land on the Great Wall, then take off from the Great Wall and land on the Zhongshan. Today, your flying discipline is to take off and land frequently, even if all 20 fighters fall into the sea. "Yes!"

By 3 p.m., 12 warplanes had slipped into the sea, and there were no major accidents, with only minor injuries to individual pilots. Frankly speaking, Tao Yong was mentally prepared for the landing training, which was completely acceptable. At dusk, Tie Ning led his subordinates to take a traffic boat ashore and return to the airport. They were required to send all 120 fighters to the aircraft carrier warship in six days, during which they also underwent high-intensity training. At dusk, the engineering ship began to salvage the fighters that had fallen into the sea, and then the fighters were hoisted into the aircraft carrier's maintenance bay for emergency repairs.

That night in the pilot's dormitory at the airport, Tie stared at his listless subordinates and said, "Comrades, I was frightened by this difficulty. The commander said that the failure of the landing is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that we lose self-confidence. The key to the failure of the landing is a psychological factor, which leads to the wrong landing altitude and the deviation of the flight attitude. I'll start by talking about my experience, and then you're free to speak. On the same night, in the command cabin of the Zhongshan aircraft carrier, a subordinate reported: "Report to the commander, all 12 fighters that fell into the sea were salvaged, most of them were broken wings, and a small part of the landing gear was damaged, which can be repaired quickly!" ”

The next day, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft came aboard, and the following day of high-intensity training, six of them slipped into the sea. On the third day, there were still 6 planes that slid into the sea. On the 4th day there were zero losses, on the 5th day a fighter slipped into the sea, on the 6th day there were zero. The 10 days passed quickly, and the training was mostly as expected. On December 19, Tao Yong ordered the end of the training and the fleet returned to Mawei Military Port. In order to cope with Lao Jiang's inspection, Tao Yong finally successfully completed the arduous task.

On the bridge of the aircraft carrier, Tao Yong and Tie Ning stood side by side. The two aircraft carrier warships rode the wind and waves one after the other, and the destroyers and submarines on the left and right sides went hand in hand. On the deck of the aircraft carrier, the rows of neatly arranged fighters seemed to have a strong murderous aura.

"Commander, this is a summary report of 10 days of high-intensity training, please take a look." Tie Ning's black and red face, and his two eyes were bright. "I won't look at it, after the inspection tomorrow, your aviation team will be put into systematic and comprehensive training to form combat strength as soon as possible!" "Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! "Captain Tie, you may not realize that you are creating the history of the Chinese Navy, and our dream of the ocean has begun to take off, but there is still a long way to go."

Tao Yong seemed to be reminiscing, "10 years ago, when the Red Star Fleet was formed, Chief of General Staff Ouyang once said that we must build a strong navy, and everything today was unimaginable at that time, but it miraculously appeared. The next day when our Chinese blue water fleet will gallop across the ocean is not far off, and what will it be like in 10 years! "Commander, I believe that the rising Chinese nation will continue to make miracles continue・・・・・・."
