471 fighters take to the skies
Makarov called the captain of the supply ship into the command cabin and said: "On the way back to Vladivostok, we need to carry out a coal replenishment, so your fleet is very important, you must make sure that the coal is intact, you must know that this coal is bought from the Japanese at a high price." ”
The captain said: "Commander, rest assured, I will definitely complete the mission." ”
The supply ship set off in advance and set off for the expected sea area, Lin Yuan calculated correctly, they were heading towards this sea area, but Lin Yuan didn't know this, all he could do was to order the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to monitor this sea area at all times.
Two days later, on January 28, Tao Zheng came to report to Lin Yuan: "Four large ships have sailed into the target sea area!" ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "There are usually no other merchant ships passing by in this sea area, and the only ones who can come here are the supply ships of the Russian army, it seems that I have not guessed wrong." But Lin Yuan didn't dare to make a decision, he asked, "Can you determine the nationality of these ships?" ”
Tao Zheng looked embarrassed, shook his head and said, "It's difficult for the time being." ”
Lin Yuan said: "Okay, you send the image to my command module. ”
Soon, a few pictures were displayed on the integrated display screen, temporarily covering all kinds of navigation and hull information on the display screen, the decks of these four ships are very flat, and the hull is very wide, such a hull cannot be applied to a warship, because the maneuverability and flexibility will be very poor,.
However, such a hull can carry more cargo, so Lin Yuan can already be sure that these are cargo transport ships, but Lin Yuan still doesn't know which country this ship is, so he didn't directly give the order to attack.
Lin Yuan said to Tao Zheng: "Enlarge this picture and strive to be able to see the national flag on it clearly." ”
Tao Zheng operated a few times, and then said: "This is already the maximum resolution." ”
Lin Yuan saw that there were many squares on the mast, these were the outlines of the flag, but the pattern on the flag was not clear, Lin Yuan said: "In this way, let's lower the height of the drone and get closer to these ships." ”
Tao Zheng said: "But in that case, the drone will be discovered by them." ”
Lin Yuan smiled: "It's okay, even if they find out, it's nothing, they will definitely think that they are wrong." ”
Tao Zheng followed Lin Yuan's instructions and operated the drone to descend in height, and soon, the clear Andrei Navy flag appeared in front of Lin Yuan's eyes, and Lin Yuan said in his heart: "It's really a Russian transport ship!" ”
Lin Yuan then picked up the communicator at hand and said, "Order the fighter to take off!" Sink these four transports. ”
At the sound of the order, the entire aircraft carrier began to move, and the crew towed a fighter plane from the hangar to the elevator and put it on the elevator.
This process takes about three minutes, and during this time, the General Staff immediately develops a plan for carrying weapons and a flight plan, and summarizes the nature of the target, the location of the target, and the purpose of the operation to the pilot.
Does a carrier-based fighter load ammunition in the hangar and then go up to the flight deck, or do it load it after it has been raised to the flight deck? This is a tactical problem that needs to be weighed by the commander, Lin Yuan prefers to go to the deck first and then load the ammunition, so that the ammunition will not pass through the hangar, and even if there is an accident, it will not damage the precious fighter.
The fighter plane was raised to the deck, and the maintenance personnel immediately carried out a fuselage inspection, and the maintenance personnel continued to report the inspection situation to Lin Yuan's command room and flight command tower, and the voice of the maintenance personnel came from time to time in the communicator: "The landing gear inspection is in good condition!" The radome is well checked! There was no damage to the inlet guide vanes of the engine......"
Immediately after the fuselage was inspected, the flight command ordered: "Permission to enter the ammunition loading area!" The fighter came to the ammunition loading area under the traction of the tractor, and Lin Yuan asked the chief of staff beside him: "What kind of ammunition do we install this time?" ”
"The enemy has four transport ships with a displacement of about 10,000 tons, so we have prepared six YJ-83 anti-ship missiles," the chief of staff said. ”
Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Our enemy is not an advanced warship, put away the YJM missile, use aerial bombs, it is more than enough." ”
The chief of staff quickly revised the ammunition loading plan, and then took the reformulated ammunition loading plan to Lin Yuan, this time the fighter was equipped with eight low-resistance aerial bombs with a circular diameter of 1,500 kilograms, the bomb weighed 800 kilograms, and loaded with eight, such a weight was a piece of cake for the carrying capacity of the J-25 12 tons.
The crew quickly loaded the ammunition on the bomb bay and the external hardpoint under the wings, and after confirming that it was correct, the plane entered the ejection preparation area, and it was Xu Feng who carried out this mission, he boarded the fighter from the gangway stretched out of the cockpit, put on anti-load clothing in the cockpit, and then began to prepare for takeoff.
Before takeoff, pilots need to make a lot of preparations, for example, the turbofan engine used by the J-25 must be started with an electric motor when in use, so that the compressor and turbine can rotate, and there are various flight instruments, which need to be checked.
Xu Feng said: "I am Dongqi, call the tower, the engine speed is normal, the fuel pressure, the oil pressure is normal, the radar display is normal, the airspeed gauge is normal......"
Lin Yuan listened to Xu Feng's report and thought, "It's rare for him to talk to the tower so seriously, if it was before, he would definitely make a few jokes with the tower." ”
After Xu Feng finished the inspection, he said: "Everything is normal with the Dongqi, please take off, please instruct." ”
The tower then ordered: "You can take off." ”
Xu Feng's right hand turned on the switch of the lift increase device on the take-off control board, pushed the throttle lever with his left hand to inject fuel into the combustion chamber, and gently rotated the tail nozzle orientation on the steering stick with his right hand, J-25 is equipped with vector propulsion technology, under Xu Feng's adjustment, the omnidirectional vector nozzle immediately rotated to a precise position.
Gradually, the sound of the rotation of the blades of the turbofan engine became louder, and Xu Feng reported: "The engine starts normally, the vibration is normal, and the afterburner is being turned on." ”
Xu Feng pressed the afterburner switch on the throttle lever, and a light blue flame more than a meter long suddenly erupted from the tail nozzle, if there was no high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees, people who saw this beautiful light flame would even have the urge to embrace it.
Under the impetus of the catapult, the fighter plane was like an eagle with wings spread in the air, rushing out of the runway of the aircraft carrier, Xu Feng gently pulled up the nose of the aircraft, the fighter plane was like a dexterous swift, jumping into the sky lightly, Xu Feng cheered loudly in the communicator: "I finally touched the plane again!" Comrade Captain, may I fly a few interesting moves? ”
Lin Yuan also knew that he was joking, so he said: "You can fly whatever you want, but if you fall, no one will save you!" Xu Feng said nonchalantly: "If I fall, I will fall, maybe I can travel back." ”
Xu Feng was flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters towards the predetermined airspace, he turned on the airborne radar, turned on the target display, and switched to the target search mode, in this mode, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the radar will only carry out a simple search, only search and not track. Soon, four black spots appeared in front of Xu Feng on the sea, and Xu Feng said: "Comrade Captain, I have already found the target, do you want to attack?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "Launch an attack and blow up the Russian transport ship into the sea!" ”
