Changkong Fighter

Chapter 249 Beach Breakthrough
With a whoosh, after being ejected, Liu Jun pulled the stick and the fighter jet flew into the sky.

The first impression upon pulling the stick was how heavy the aircraft was. Carrier-based aircraft are already quite heavy, and with a full load of ammunition and fuel, they are even heavier, making him feel like he was driving a raging heavy transport truck.

If we're talking about the aircraft with the best handling, it has to be the J-11D that I flew over Saudi Arabia. It's truly the most easy-to-control fighter jet.

However, as if the fighter jet beneath him knew that he was piloting "himself" while thinking about other aircraft, it suddenly began to vibrate violently. Liu Jun quickly regained his composure, gripped the control stick, and pushed the throttle valve. The J15T flew towards the high altitude with the optimal climb curve.

Meanwhile, on the 076 Sichuan aircraft carrier, two fully prepared Dark Sword UAVs were launched and quickly caught up with the J15T ahead.

Liu Jun looked at the two aircraft connected to the data link, then turned to look at them. He saw their fuel, speed, ammunition, and other information appear in the helmet of his new anti-G suit, and it even reported the AI-controlled flight path to him.

Artificial intelligence has been applied to drones. If alien civilizations cannot interfere with data links and radar, what kind of combat power will these drones unleash? Most importantly, they are not afraid of losses; at most, they will simply have to rebuild them.

In future air combat, pilots will gradually shift from the role of "charge into battle" to that of "commander," which is an inevitable trend. However, for Liu Jun, it is a pity that he cannot understand the enemy in dogfights.

[Upgrade Ceremony]

What Rupa said—that the alien civilization's society is Darwinian—makes one think of those giant lice, lobsters, and crabs controlled by crystals. It really gives off a feeling of technological barbarism.

While pondering, Liu Jun piloted the J15T to an altitude of 12000 meters. Turning his head, he saw two Dark Sword drones following him on the left and right, acting as his wingmen, requiring almost no action from him.

Climb to the predetermined altitude, level off, adjust the throttle valve to enter cruise speed, and wait for orders from superiors.

More than ten minutes later, the EODAS system installed on the J15T detected some heat sources, which the IFF identified as friendly forces.

The J-15T aircraft, which took off from the Liaoning, entered the mission area, and the aerial sprayers carried under its wings detached from the pylons, spreading their wings and flying toward the coordinates provided by the US military on Guam.

After dropping its aerial bombardment, the J-15T changed course and returned to the Liaoning. Naval aviation's combat missions are that simple and straightforward: drop the bombs and return, leaving the remaining tasks to be completed by the ammunition itself.

Liu Jun glanced at his returning comrades, then surveyed Guam below. From this height, Guam looked very small, with the island's docks and airports vaguely visible. On the sea, the Type 076 and Type 071 destroyers of the Dongda Navy entered their attack positions, while two 100,000-ton cargo ships, escorted by two Type 054A frigates, headed straight for Guam's docks.

Judging from the deployment of the University of Tokyo, it is clear that they intend to eliminate all the alien creatures on the island in one fell swoop.

The Type 071 amphibious transport dock stopped near Guam, its 76mm main guns turned and aimed at Guam. On either side of the Type 071, two Type 054 corvettes also turned their main guns toward Guam and began bombarding the area on Guam occupied by the alien creatures.

Shells were fired one after another, the spent casings were ejected, and then the firing continued.
The stern compartment of the dock landing ship opened, and the Type 726A air-cushioned landing craft, driven by a QC-70 small gas turbine, sailed out of the dock and then sailed across the sea, increasing in speed until it finally rammed into Guam at a high speed of 80 knots.

The Type 726A landing craft are not equipped with the Type 99A main battle tank, a signature weapon of the Northeast University, but rather with the Lynx family of tanks. Behind the two Type 071 dock landing ships, the Type 076 amphibious assault ship also deploys Type 726A hovercraft, carrying the Northeast University's light tanks. Meanwhile, on the flat deck, rows of black-painted Attack-11 drones are preparing for takeoff.

With the aid of catapults, Attack-11 drones loaded with precision-strike munitions were launched from the flight deck.

With external defenses in place to prevent alien intervention, the Type 055, Type 054A, and Type 052D vertical launch systems launched CJ-10 cruise missiles to conduct long-range strikes against Guam.

Then, on the helicopter deck, a Z-8 helicopter with a rocket pod attached took off and flew towards Guam. As a helicopter of the University of Tokyo, it can be without missiles, but it absolutely cannot be without a rocket pod. The ancestral rules cannot be changed!

Air and sea strike groups targeted the remaining alien biological weapons on Guam, while Type 726A hovercraft on the sea gradually approached Guam.

Meanwhile, the domestic program "A Bite of Dongda" is airing a special episode about visiting the cooking squad.

Brother Jie, who brought his own chopsticks, walked into the naval mess hall and looked at the dishes being prepared: spicy bullfrog and grilled octopus.

First, peel and cut the frog into sections. Then, heat oil in a pan and add the frog sections. Remove the head from the octopus, leaving its tentacles.
Brother Jie picked up a piece of grilled octopus with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, revealing a satisfied expression:

"This grilled octopus is best eaten fresh out of the pan, it's so delicious!"

In space, American satellites were constantly monitoring Dongda's every move. Seeing Dongda's skillful beach landing procedures, even more so than those of the Americans, and the fact that they were landing on territory previously occupied by the Americans, made the US president feel somewhat uneasy.

The naval guns covered the area occupied by the alien biological weapons, but the 76mm naval guns did not have the explosive power of the 155mm howitzers, which made the Dongda combat personnel somewhat dissatisfied. The firepower was not enough!
Then, the Longsword-10 carried out targeted strikes on the areas where biological weapons were concentrated. Before the biological weapons on the ground could recover, the third wave of TL500 aerial seeders arrived over the battlefield. The projectiles shattered with a crack, and the cluster bombs inside were released downwards.

After the explosion, the area occupied by the alien biological weapon was riddled with bullet holes, and the shattered debris was spread out on the ground, some of which was still reflecting the sunlight.

After the first few waves of attacks, the Attack-11 drones entered the field. Their bomb bays opened to reveal precision-guided bombs inside. The bombs detached from their racks, spread their wings, and drifted toward the ground to clear out the remaining alien creatures.

On the other side, after the Type 726A hovercraft landed on the beach, the front hatch opened, and the Lynx unmanned vehicle drove out of the hovercraft, followed by robotic wolf guards that circled around it, probing into the island.

The first wave of units deployed to the battlefield consisted entirely of unmanned equipment, except for the people operating the ships.

After the drones cleared a safe landing area, the Type 726A landing craft carrying manned combat units stormed the beach, and PLA Marines wearing exoskeletons and headgear stepped out.

Drones led the way, followed by PLA soldiers clad in Hollywood sci-fi exoskeleton armor. A sea breeze carried the eagle-like scent of hawks far, far away.
