Changkong Fighter

Chapter 261 Interception
While Liu Jun was fighting 16 Type 2 fighters, on the other side, the Dongda also dispatched fighters to intercept the enemy flying over the sea.

After being armed, two J-15Ts and two J-15Ss quickly took off from the Liaoning, adopted an intercept route, and flew directly toward the enemy.

Below the cockpit canopies of these four fighter jets are small stars representing the number of kills. Two of them have 4 kills and the other two have 3 kills, making them all "Golden Helmets" of Tokyo University.

"Chicken, all aircraft, target heading 030. Our unit will adopt an intercept route. After entering the jamming zone, we will carry out combat operations according to the pre-arranged plan." Chicken had only spoken halfway when it received the latest air situation through the data link and immediately informed its comrades: "According to the air situation in the distance, several Type 2 aircraft have crossed the defense line and are approaching the target. Prepare for battle."

"Coins received!"

"Fat Fish, received!"

"Pufferfish, received!"

Four Flying Sharks intercepting multiple enemies sounds difficult, but they are not fighting alone; they have the support of the Tokyo University system.

The HQ-16 air defense system was set up at the Guam base. Although the fire control radar and search radar were unusable due to Type 2 interference, the location of the incoming enemy could be easily determined using the three-point positioning method.

Then, one by one, the HQ-16 air defense missile systems launched missiles. The missiles flew out of the launch tubes and intercepted the target approaching Guam with a high-angle trajectory. At the same time, the HQ-16 systems on the warships also fired in the direction of the enemy's attack, launching at different angles together with the land-based air defense firepower to form crossfire coverage and intercept the incoming Type 2 missiles layer by layer.

The four flying sharks quickly climbed to 5000 meters and then approached the designated interception area.

On the J-15S, the pilot was flying the aircraft while the radar officer in the back seat observed the situation on the battlefield. He could clearly see the HQ-16 being launched, and could even visually observe the residual flames of the HQ-16 in the air, the white lines lingering for a long time.

Despite the support of land-based and sea-based air defense missile systems, the pilots on the four Flying Shark interceptors were under great psychological pressure because Type 2 missiles are not easy to deal with!
Despite the fact that the "Deep Blue Eagle" has already achieved triple-digit kill counts, making killing aliens seem like killing chickens, for ordinary pilots like them, things are alright when there are plenty of missiles. However, once the two sides enter WVR range, the enemy's laser weapons are simply too formidable.

Pilots who were shot down were often caught off guard and hit by the lasers. They had no idea how that prodigy "Chang Kong" managed to break through the laser firepower of the alien civilization's warships. Those beams of laser looked like a net made of lasers; if they grazed the air, they would damage the aerodynamics, and if they were hit, they would be shot down.

Currently, humanity's only advantage over extraterrestrial civilizations is that our weapons have a much longer range than the enemy's laser weapons.

The sound of radio interference came through the headset, and the weapons officer in the back seat also noticed ECM interference on the phased array radar, proving that they were very close to the alien spacecraft skimming the sea.

"How much further?" the little chick asked in a deep voice as it piloted the fighter jet.

Before they set off, the air situation they received from afar was that Chang Kong was going to intercept a large force of alien civilization "alone." Even a prodigy like Liu Jun couldn't possibly stop so many enemies. Then, with the interception of ground-to-air and sea-to-air missiles, they had to be prepared for the enemy to break through the defense line.

Fortunately, the battlefield is relatively close to Guam, and their follow-up support will arrive soon. Their mission is to shoot down the enemy plane that flew out of the facility.

According to past combat regulations, once the enemy is within range, a saturation attack can shoot it down.

As the distance drew closer, the radar officer looked at the interference source on the radar, which was now completely distorted, proving that the sea-skimming aircraft was very close.

At this point, visual search was necessary. The little chicken maneuvered its fighter jet, waving its wings and signaling to its comrades to disperse and search for the target, using a two-plane formation as the core. The two-plane formation quickly descended, exploring in the direction the target might be, then alternated to double-check, ensuring no target was missed.

After flying for more than 4 kilometers, the four fighter jets still hadn't found the target, which made the little chicken a bit anxious. Without communication, it would be very difficult to catch a Type 2 sea-skimming aircraft.

"Did you see it?"

The chick, pressing down on the slope, observed the distant sea. Under the suppression of surface-to-air missiles and sea-based air defense missiles on Guam, targets could only fly skimming the sea. High-speed targets would leave very conspicuous marks on the sea surface, visible from a great distance.

"Could it be climbing?" the radar officer in the back seat asked.

"No, if we climb, we'll be locked on by the HQ-16."

The chick said with certainty that if the other side wanted to break away, it would continue to fly over the sea, attempting to penetrate the air defense network of Dongda University through ultra-low altitude.

Time ticked by, and the little chicken grew anxious. If the enemy broke through, the mission issued by the superiors would fail, which would be a huge stain on the reputation of the Dongda pilots. According to Dongda's tradition, they would ram the enemy down, even if it meant crashing into them.

Suddenly, a J-15T flying not far away seemed to have spotted something and fired a signal flare.

With a series of high-intensity flares, the aircraft launched itself from the tail, creating a heat source in the air that was even larger than that of a regular heat decoy. The heat source was immediately detected by the IRST on the J-15T.

Without hesitation, the chick turned and flew towards the enemy, shouting loudly to the weapons officer behind it, "Prepare for battle!"

"Understood! Activate the seeker head!"

On the distant sea, the waves were not large. Something drew a white trail on the surface, and the air currents it created formed a silver snake on the sea.

"You cunning thing!"

The chicks watched the traces left by the spacecraft on the sea surface. This cunning alien was flying outward along the tangent. If they were any later, the enemy would have slipped out right under their noses. This was also because the Liaoning did not have a catapult and could not take off with full ammunition and fuel. The J-15T itself was not equipped with an optical communication system, otherwise the difficulty of detecting the enemy would be greatly reduced.

"Shoot it down!"

"understand!"

No need for further explanation, now that the target has been spotted, open fire!
Two J-15T and J-15S aircraft launched PL-15A missiles. After the missiles detached from their racks, the passive seekers were activated, the rocket engines ignited, and they emitted long plumes of flame, rapidly accelerating the missiles to supersonic speeds.

The passive seeker immediately acquired the signal source of the sea-skimming flight and flew toward the target under its guidance; under passive guidance, there was no need to worry about being interfered with by multipath clutter like with radar missiles.
