Hurry up!
Time is life, and the first requirement for aircraft carrier combat is speed!
Inside the Liaoning aircraft carrier, all non-combat positions, such as kitchens and post offices, have been closed. Non-combat work such as equipment maintenance and duty has been minimized. All officers and soldiers on the ship shuttle through extremely complex routes along specially planned roads. in the passage.
Immediately afterwards, all offensive and defensive functions of the Liaoning aircraft carrier were turned on, and the radar equipment and combat systems entered the highest efficiency operating state.
Level 1 combat readiness, just for fighting!
The Liaoning aircraft carrier, which is in a state of first-level combat readiness, exudes the aura of being a top-level war killing weapon, cold and cruel.
Immediately afterwards, when all the officers and soldiers of the aircraft carrier rushed to their combat positions, the main flight control room of the aviation bridge located at the top of the island received the latest mission from the supreme commander of the carrier-based aircraft.
The aircraft carrier island is divided into multiple cabins such as the aviation bridge, the navigation bridge, the command post, and the navigation room. Among them, the aviation bridge is mainly responsible for scheduling and managing the entire takeoff deck, and all ground staff on the ship are dispatched and managed by the main flight control room. .
"A J-15C that has fought, my day..." As the 'aviation boss', the aviation commander Jiang Xianyun was stunned for a moment when he was checking the mission content. He knew that something big had happened, so no wonder he had to sound the first-order alarm.
A battle-damaged J-15C 'Tiger Shark' is about to make an emergency landing on our ship and clear the deck immediately. ——The leader of the second carrier-based aircraft flight group, Luo Xiannian, and the captain, Xiang Minghua.
Be obedient, this is incredible.
Looking at the latest mission description, Jiang Xianyun was keenly aware of the key word - battle damage!
Anyone who thinks with their toes knows what it means for a fighter jet to be damaged in battle.
The most important thing is that this is the latest J-15C 'Tiger Shark' carrier-based aircraft in service, which can carry out electromagnetic ejection into the air.
"Aviation operations, the landing area on the take-off deck has been cleared. There are damaged fighters making an emergency landing!" Jiang Xianyun looked serious. He immediately picked up the intercom and issued the deck-clearing command through the flight deck broadcast system.
Fighter plane crash landing?
In an instant, a unique alarm sounded from the flight deck public address system, and the ground crew in the landing area of the takeoff deck received the command from the aviation commander and immediately got busy.
Ground crew members wearing various colored vests operated efficiently like a sophisticated machine, clearing the deck as quickly as possible, adjusting the arresting cables, and preparing for the landing of the carrier-based aircraft.
At the same time, the aviation rescue support department also received the order, and support personnel and medical staff were ready as quickly as possible. They immediately wore white vests and entered the take-off deck and were on standby.
Orders were sent from the command room on the ship island to all departments on the ship. Firefighting, damage control and various support positions were all on standby. Soon, the Liaoning aircraft carrier, which was in a state of first-level combat readiness, completed preparations for the forced landing of carrier-based aircraft. This information is gathered into the aircraft carrier command room through the ship's combat command system.
"All departments are on standby."
In the aircraft carrier command room, a young male dispatcher issued the latest instructions, stared at the LCD screen displaying a series of radar detection data, and reported the situation to the captain Xiang Minghua and the flight group leader Luo Xiannian standing behind him: "Report to the chief, The target is 230 kilometers away from our ship, with a speed of 500 and an altitude of 3,000. It is on the scheduled route. The deck has been cleared and our ship is ready."
"Establish a communication connection with Unit 101."
The group leader Luo Xiannian nodded and responded.
Captain Xiang Minghua stood beside him and said nothing. What should be explained has been explained. He just needs to wait now.
The aircraft carrier department system is divided into two sets, one is navigation, which is under the responsibility of the captain, and the other is aviation, which is under the responsibility of the supreme commander of carrier-based aircraft. All carrier-based aircraft and combat aircraft on the aircraft carrier are commanded by the supreme commander of carrier-based aircraft. Both sides They do not interfere with each other and are all under the jurisdiction and command of the aircraft carrier battle group commander.
However, the commander is not on the ship today, but at the Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base.
The young male dispatcher immediately executed the order, entered the dynamic encrypted communication channel, established a communication connection, and called Zhou Hai: "Call Unit 101. This is the Liaoning aircraft carrier, codenamed Pomegranate. Please answer after receiving it."
"Reporting to Pomegranate, Unit 101 has received it, please speak." After receiving the communication request from the Liaoning aircraft carrier, Zhou Hai, who steadily controlled the Tiger Shark, spoke calmly and forcefully.
"Unit No. 101, I am Luo Xiannian, the leader of the second carrier-based aircraft flight group, codenamed Albatross. Our ship is ready to recover the carrier-based aircraft. How is your situation now?"
After successfully establishing a communication connection, the team leader Luo Xiannian picked up the intercom, reported his own information, and asked Zhou Hai.
Zhou Hai glanced at the various flight parameters displayed on the main avionics HUD. Except for the constant low-fuel warning on board, the other conditions were pretty good: "Albatross, my aircraft is in good condition and everything is normal."
"No. 101, do you need partner refueling? Your current fuel is not enough for a go-around." Luo Xiannian checked the cockpit flight data and body condition information of No. 101 transmitted by the data link, confirmed that there were no abnormalities, and then continued to ask.
According to the current fuel consumption, after the Tiger Shark comes into contact with the Liaoning aircraft carrier, there will be no aviation fuel available for a go-around.
And this means that Zhou Hai only has one chance to land on the ship.
"There is no need for partner refueling. I have not received partner refueling training. An accident may occur. The current fuel is sufficient. I am confident that I can successfully land the ship in one go." Zhou Hai rejected Luo Xiannian's proposal. Although partner refueling can obtain valuable aviation fuel , but accidents may occur during the docking process.
First, he had not done that training.
Second, precise docking is difficult. Due to the limited flight performance of the tiger shark after damage, Zhou Hai cannot ensure that it can be docked.
Everything, seek stability.
Zhou Hai had enough confidence and strength to pilot the Tiger Shark to successfully land on the ship without the need for a partner to refuel.
After hearing Zhou Hai's answer, Luo Xiannian did not insist. He stared at the various data displayed on the radar screen and replied: "Okay, be careful and keep the communication open."
For the Liaoning aircraft carrier, which has completed preparations for the recovery of carrier-based aircraft, all that can be done now is to wait and pray.
Praying to hold on.
As the supreme aviation commander of the Liaoning aircraft carrier, Luo Xiannian clearly understands how dangerous the current situation of the No. 101 J-15C Tiger Shark is.
"Received on the 101st." Zhou Hai responded. After he finished speaking, he withdrew his attention and put it on the main HUD. He was highly concentrated and ready to respond to possible emergencies at any time.
This was his first time flying a fighter jet that was so seriously damaged, so he had to be careful in everything.
"Buzz!"
The sound of the vector turbofan engine is endless.
Soaring in the blue sky at an altitude of 3,000 meters, overlooking the endless blue sea, I don’t know whether it is Zhou Hai’s good luck or the quality of the Tiger Shark. As time slowly passes, the entire Tiger Shark spans a distance of more than 180 kilometers. , the flight process is surprisingly quiet and stable.
At this time, through the cracked cockpit glass, Zhou Hai looked at the sea ahead and found a maritime giant belonging to the Chinese Navy more than 30 kilometers away, sailing on the blue sea.
The deck is cleared, all personnel are on standby, and everything is ready.
"It's so spectacular. I didn't expect that the first flight would land on the Liaoning. Liaoning, here I come." Zhou Hai looked at the Liaoning aircraft carrier that had already appeared in his field of vision, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
