Changkong Fighter

Chapter 45 TAB-3
Inside the command room, intelligence from various sources was gathered together, and each piece of military deployment information proved that humanity's naval forces were concentrating towards the Pacific Rim. The monkeys, in particular, were extremely active.

The old chief is somewhat clear about this. The monkey leader has been sitting unsteadily recently, but it is different from the Korean leader who can apply for World Heritage status and went to jail. He has not been in jail yet, but the situation is not optimistic. This time it seems that he wants to show his determination and gain more support from the United States.

"Hehe." The old commander snorted with a forced smile. The aliens would not show any restraint towards monkeys. He changed the subject and continued, "How is our fleet preparation going?"

"Reporting to the commander, the formal contact fleet, with the Liaoning as its core, will be reorganized within 12 hours and will depart within 24 hours. The new weapons testing mission will also be carried out within the planned time."

"Is there anyone suitable to test the new weapons?" the leader asked in a serious tone.

In order to deal with alien civilizations, a new sword is indispensable. Even if formal diplomatic relations can be established with alien civilizations in the future, having a sword but not using it is not the same as not having a sword in hand.

"Yes! The test ammunition has arrived at the frontline airport. This is the candidate provided by the think tank and the General Staff after a joint discussion."

The old leader took over the personnel information of the mission and looked through it.

"Liu Jun?"

He still knows this young man, and there are various assessments of him by think tanks above.

[Psychological Assessment: It has been determined that Comrade Liu Jun's mental state is normal after contact with the extraterrestrial civilization. No stress reaction was found after the battle. His current mental state is suitable for carrying out this mission.]

【Health status: normal indicators】

【Family factors: only child】

【Marital status: Single】

The following is the final decision:

[①. Under collective decision-making, while respecting the comrade's wishes, the candidate is assessed as the most suitable to carry out the weapons testing mission.]

[②. Under the mission assignment, weapons testing requires entering the alien civilization's aircraft warning zone. This comrade has experience dealing with alien aircraft, effectively increasing the success rate of weapons testing by 10%↑ and reducing the casualty rate by 15%↓.]

③Other factors

The old leader looked at the evaluation role. In the confrontation with alien civilizations, given the characteristics of the alien civilization's weapons, experience and inexperience are very important watersheds. It can greatly increase the pilot's chance of survival, just like an experienced test pilot, whose ability to deal with air situations far exceeds that of ordinary pilots.

Of course, the final implementation still depends on Liu Jun’s personal wishes. If he is unwilling, subsequent personnel will take over and carry out this task.

【Due to family reasons, you can choose to refuse】

"Command, this is Changkong. Ensure the mission is accomplished!"

Liu Jun said without hesitation, "How can I let it run away with the flying experience I've gained?" Besides, as a soldier, there's no reason to retreat before a mission!

After receiving Liu Jun's clear answer, the command center sent him a code via a directional data link.

After confirming Liu Jun's wishes again, the communication channel was silent for a few seconds before the next instruction was issued:
[Changkong, emergency code-2 (emergency codes are often used to quickly convey instructions and coordinate actions in emergency situations, but are fictitious here). Identification code to coordinates (latitude and longitude). Sail in silence, awaiting further instructions. Confidentiality level: Secret.]

"Changkong received, heading to coordinates completed (Roger)."

Upon receiving the order, Liu Jun immediately stopped en route to the Liaoning's location and pulled the lever to change course and altitude. Liu Jun wasn't particularly surprised by the sudden emergency mission, classified as [Secret]. Given the current situation, missions could be issued at any time. Looking at the coordinates given, which were in the Western Pacific, he remembered nothing but water and some reefs.

It is probably related to aliens, so choosing him is a "professional match".

After setting the current coordinates, I used INS (inertial navigation, no external guidance required) to move towards the coordinates specified by my superiors. I observed my surroundings through sunglasses. The light at high altitudes was quite strong, so I had to put down my sunglasses to protect my eyes.

The weather was good today. He took a look at the fuel. Although he had not entered the warning line, he did not have much fuel left. However, when he flew to 130 nautical miles from the coordinates, a directional data link was connected to J15.

[TAB (Forward Air Base)-3, calling Changkong, please land according to the guidance.]

"Changkong, received."

Liu Jun lowered the altitude and entered the landing procedure according to the guidance of the ground tower.

When the J15 passed through the thick clouds, a 4km long island appeared in his field of vision in the middle of the blue sea, with a conspicuous runway located on the long island.

When was an offshore airport built? Liu Jun looked at the airport below in surprise. This place was just an island reef not long ago. How many airports like this are there that are not used on a regular basis? Thinking about it made Liu Jun feel terrified.

"Prepare to enter, Changkong, calling the tower, requesting landing."

【Landing cleared.】

Rub the throttle, open the landing flaps, and lower the landing gear.

Bang! The J15 slammed heavily onto the runway, slowed down, and finally taxied to a stop in the designated parking area on the side of the runway.

After opening the cockpit, a ground crew member ran over with a ladder, another pulled the refueling hose and refueled the J15, and several ground crew members installed auxiliary fuel tanks on the heavy-load racks on the belly of the J15.

Liu Jun lay down the ladder and took a quick look at the frontline airport. The newly built houses in the distance were all reinforced mobile cabins, but the facilities were very complete. He also saw camouflaged surface-to-air missile positions, shore-based anti-ship missile positions, and radar positions.

Liu Jun withdrew his gaze and stared at several ground crew members checking the auxiliary fuel tanks. He calculated in his mind the distance of this mission.

The J15's range without auxiliary fuel tanks is about 3500 kilometers, and its range with auxiliary fuel tanks is about 4500 kilometers. Its combat radius is 1200 kilometers under standard configuration.

Judging from the current position, Liu Jun had some rough guesses in his mind. At this time, a transport vehicle came quickly, and several service soldiers brought Liu Jun hot meals and mineral water, as well as emergency food and drinking water on board. These things further confirmed his ideas.

Liu Jun ate quietly while the ground staff prepared silently. During the whole process, no one spoke to him.

"Lieutenant, fuel is complete, and everything is normal."

"I understand! Thank you for your hard work!"

After Liu Jun finished speaking, he saw a major arriving in a transport vehicle. After Liu Jun finished his meal, he signaled him with his eyes to go to an open place. Liu Jun stood up and followed the major who was holding the documents and walked to a distance.

In the sea breeze, the major handed the document to Liu Jun: "Comrade Liu Jun, this is your mission this time."

　Happy New Year to everyone! Happy New Year!
