Five minutes before the George Washington received the air alert, on the flight deck of the Jiangsu ship, a J-15 with full fuel but no missiles and auxiliary fuel tanks had been locked on the catapult car of the electromagnetic catapult.

Although there are a lot of words, Zhou Ling's flying skills are actually not ambiguous, as Xia Yu's original old teammate, how many skills Zhou Ling has, Xia Yu is still relatively clear in his heart. More or less, in terms of tactical thinking and aerial skills and tactics, compared to others, Zhou Ling is the closest to Xia Yu.

Familiar with 300 Tang poems, can't make poems and can chant. Zhou Ling is like this, he has been flying with Xia Yu for a long time, and the strange and effective flight tactics used by Xia Yu when he is in the air, even if Zhou Ling himself does not have the same weird thinking as Xia Yu, but after long-term contact, he can always pick up some more or less.

Just like this time, after taking off from the deck of the Jiangsu ship, Zhou Ling did not choose a low-altitude sea-skimming flight that could avoid radar detection with the maximum range, but uncharacteristically controlled the J-15 all the way up, and climbed directly to an altitude of 20,000 meters to enter the cruising state, and the direction was even simpler, a straight line led directly to the George Washington.

Such an arrogant flight posture is simply a complete disregard for the radar network of the USS George Washington aircraft carrier battle group, but the reality will not become ineffective because of your ignorance, in fact, in the process of climbing, Zhou Ling has been captured by the radar network of the American aircraft carrier battle group, and the Americans have heard the shouting of the radio Zhou Ling, but this guy directly spread his hands and said that I don't understand English, and he has no intention of responding at all.

At an altitude of 20,000 meters, here is the stratosphere, the air is not only thin, but also basically free of water vapor, so there are no clouds at this altitude, and the sunlight has become very dazzling, and it is impossible to fly for a long time without putting down the goggles here, because the eyes will not be able to stand it. The stratospheric airflow movement is basically horizontal, and convective weather is rarely found, while the thin air can reduce air resistance, allowing the aircraft to maximize fuel savings.

And the most important thing is that the plane can fly faster, which is one of the reasons why Zhou Ling chose to fly at high altitude, because even if he is detected too early, he can still press the interception line of the American aircraft in the direction of their aircraft carrier.

"Ikaruga, the American aircraft carrier has risen two planes and is approaching you." The radio came to the air police 2000 correspondent contact, Zhou Ling looked down at the dashboard, the radar display of the over-the-horizon working mode marked two targets 320 kilometers away in front of him, and looked at the refreshed number, it was two F18 Hornets that were accelerating from a height of more than 8000 meters, and the speed was about Mach 1.4.

The height and speed of the other party are not enough now, and I still have an advantage, how about taking this opportunity to push forward? Zhou Ling thought for a while, in order to maximize the approaching distance, Zhou Ling still decided to push the contact point forward, so he also opened the afterburner chamber for afterburner, although turning on the afterburner will consume a lot of fuel, but as long as the internal oil is fully loaded, even if the auxiliary fuel tank is not mounted, the combat radius of the J-15 can still reach 1500 kilometers, so Zhou Ling is not too worried about fuel consumption.

Open the afterburner, as if taking a stimulant, the speed of the J-15 rushed upward, and soon reached the speed of Mach 2.5, the engine roared with all its might, the two sides quickly approached, and soon, the distance between each other has been shortened to 120 kilometers.

"Listen to the unidentified plane in front, this is a US aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft, you are approaching our aircraft carrier battle group, for your safety, please do your best to declare your identity and purpose."

The interrogation of the American pilot came from the radio again, and Zhou Ling knew that if there was no response at this time, the other party might really be about to open fire, so he said on the radio: "This is a Chinese carrier-based aircraft, I am practicing flying skills, what are you running here for?" Exactly, do you want to be together? ”

The long plane of F18 was stunned when he heard Zhou Ling's words, but he never thought that the other party would respond like this, as if he had accidentally walked to the house next door where he was doing BBQ just now, and then the owner of the house warmly invited him to join the party. What's going on? The pilot of the F18 thought to himself, then shook his head, as if to confirm whether he was having auditory hallucinations.

After relieving himself, the pilot of the long plane continued to follow the rules of air encounters and continued: "Attention to the Chinese carrier-based aircraft, your current course is approaching our aircraft carrier battle group, please turn away immediately, otherwise I have the right to fire at you and repeat the ......."

"Don't be nervous, brother." Without waiting for the other pilot's pilot to continue shouting, Zhou Ling interjected and said: "I'm practicing my flying skills, I'm not interested in your aircraft carrier, and besides, I don't have any weapons, so don't be too nervous, relax, relax." ”

Don't have a weapon? Do you say I'll believe it? The long plane of the F18 was made a little inexplicable by Zhou Ling, although the Chinese carrier-based aircraft still did not change course, but the other party did not turn on the fire control radar for irradiation, which can barely be regarded as a sigh of relief At the same time, the two sides are also approaching rapidly, and soon reached the visual distance.

However, for the two F18 Hornets, the height of Zhou Ling is obviously above them, and they can only look up to see the J-15. The F18 Hornet only has a practical ceiling of 15,000 meters, so that they are not superior in this regard in the face of the J-15 at an altitude of 20,000 meters, although it can still be forcibly climbed, but not only the climb rate is low, the acceleration is slow, and when it is necessary to maneuver to intercept, the aircraft's table is difficult to satisfy.

Therefore, when the two sides approached quickly and formed a convergence, Zhou Ling almost flew directly over the two F18s, without a little hesitation, not only did the course not change, but even the speed was maintained at Mach 2.5, and the two 18s were thrown behind the buttocks.

"Hey, two brothers, hurry up." When Zhou Ling exceeded two F18s, he actually had the interest to ridicule the other party a few words, which blew up the two F18 pilots, and when they turned around and chased back, in just ten seconds, Zhou Ling ran more than ten kilometers away.

Because the pilots of the two F18s had seen that the Chinese carrier-based aircraft did not carry any weapons, in this case it no longer constituted a reason for themselves to be threatened and could launch missiles to attack the other party, so they hurriedly turned on the afterburner and chased forward.

But the maximum Mach number of the F18 is only 1.9, because they lose a certain amount of ability by turning the direction, they also need to re-increase the speed, and they really can't catch up with Zhou Ling, who is flying happily, is it really to let the other party fly over their aircraft carrier? In a hurry, the long plane couldn't take care of much, so he hurriedly contacted the George Washington and asked for support after explaining the specific situation.
