readx; When the Songshan was taking off and landing, the same thing was being done on the Taishan and Huashan, but there were not many fighters on the two ships that needed to take off, but they needed to take advantage of the few fighters left to take off during this time period to serve as the fleet's air defense mission, and at the same time, they also needed to prepare for the landing of the first wave of attack aircraft that were about to return.

Perhaps this is because of the first large-scale battle of the Chinese Navy in a few years, and the commanders below ignored certain problems in order to strive for higher combat efficiency, which led to the fact that when the Songshan received the landing air defense fighter, an F8G fighter failed to hook the arresting cable, and on this straight-deck aircraft carrier, once the fighter failed to hook the arresting cable when landing, then the end was tragic, and the F8G fighter rushed directly to the guardrail net, Then he rushed into the middle of the other two F8G fighters parked at the front of the deck, fortunately, the F8G fighters that landed were all out of fuel, and they did not carry aerial bombs, so there was no explosion, but it caused more than ten casualties, and directly damaged the three F8G fighters, one of which even fell into the sea.

Rear Admiral Zhao Zidong looked at the chaos on the front deck of the Songshan, and his face darkened, but at this moment, he also knew that it was not the time to be anxious, the landing of carrier-based aircraft has always been extremely risky, and the pilot's feeling of landing was that every time he was dancing on the edge of death. Whether it is in the course of combat or training, accidents during the take-off and landing phases are endless.

It is precisely because there is a great risk in the operation of carrier-based aircraft that the Chinese Navy is forced to develop a tilted deck, the most fundamental purpose of which is not to improve the operational efficiency of carrier-based aircraft, and at the same time take-off and landing are not much different from the propeller era, the Navy pays the most attention to the ability to tilt the deck to effectively reduce the risk of landing, because if the carrier-based aircraft lands on the inclined deck, if it is not able to hook the arresting cable, then it can accelerate the go-around, which can not be done on the straight deck, Because the straight deck is in the landing stage, the front deck is full of planes after landing, once it fails to build a blocking cable, it will crash into the landing group, the previous method adopted by the Chinese Navy is to set up a pair of interception nets behind the blocking cable, forcibly stop the unsuccessful landing of the aircraft, to avoid the aircraft on the front deck from being hit, but sometimes it will fail, so that the landing failure of the aircraft directly into the front deck of the group.

The Songshan had a landing failure accident, if it was in peacetime, it would definitely stop all training and then carry out the rescue of the wounded and find the cause of the accident, but now, the landing operation of the Songshan has not stopped at all, the two damaged fighters on the front deck have been urgently transferred, and the treatment of the casualties is also in tense progress, and at the same time, the blocking cable and the blocking net are raised again, because there are still many F8G fighters waiting to land behind, and they can't wait long without much fuel.

While the 21st Squadron was making intense preparations, taking off and landing air defense fighters, and at the same time preparing to welcome the first wave of attack planes back, the second group had already formed a formation in the air and then flew straight to the northeast, consisting of 80 carrier-based planes, which were going directly to the main fleet.

At the same time, over the 24th Squadron, an air raid had come to an end, and the first wave of planes sent by the 21st Squadron launched a large-scale attack on the transport and escort fleets below.

After a large-scale air raid, the transport and escort fleet on the sea was already in shambles, and the damage suffered far exceeded the damage caused by the previous battle with the 25th Squadron, the Nazhi was already seriously tilted, the superstructure was almost destroyed, and the port side was torpedoed, and a huge crack poured into thousands of tons of seawater. If it is a new type of battleship, it may survive a torpedo attack, even if it is a heavy cruiser or large cruiser of about 20,000 tons, it is possible to continue to maintain combat effectiveness, but this is impossible for the Nachi, the influx of more than 2,000 tons of seawater almost made the Nachi tilt forty degrees in an instant, and in just five minutes, the captain Yamanoigawa Osa was forced to give the order to abandon the ship, and it would not take long for the Nachi to completely capsize.

Some of the planes of the first wave of the 21st Squadron returning home were also scarred, saying: "Although my own anti-aircraft firepower is not as good as that of the US Navy and the Chinese Navy, and there are no anti-aircraft bombs with radio proximity fuses, many small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns opened fire in unison, and still caused a lot of damage to the first wave of the incoming 21st Squadron, six planes were shot down in the air raid, and many carrier-based planes were damaged."

At this time, a B18 dive bomber was staggering and barely keeping up with the formation to return home, the left wing was already half missing, and a large number of bullet holes could be clearly seen in the wing and fuselage.

At this time, Zhao Zidong of the 21st Squadron in the distance received the radio report from the returning aircraft group and said: "Prepare for the treatment of the wounded, and let the Huashan vacate the deck and prepare to accept the landing of the injured fighters!" Technicians must also be prepared for quick repairs, and as soon as the attack aircraft group returns, the third wave of attack aircraft will be prepared immediately! ”

On the Huashan, at this time, the planes and sundries parked on the deck had been emptied, several military doctors dressed in officer uniforms had prepared for surgery, and a large number of medical soldiers had prepared a large number of medicines and medical equipment, waiting to amend the injured. The officers and men of the fire squadron have already taken firefighting measures, and once an accident occurs during the landing of an injured fighter, such as an accident, an explosion or a fire, they will rush out to extinguish the fire, rescue the pilot, and control the situation, so as to avoid affecting the safety of the aircraft carrier itself.

A large number of maintenance technicians have prepared a variety of commonly used replacement parts, just waiting for emergency repair of the injured fighters, so that they can return to the blue sky as soon as possible.

In the pilots' conference room, more than 20 pilots sat together, some of them were regular pilots who did not participate in the battle, and some were substitute reserve pilots.

After a nervous wait, there were also black spots in the sky for the returning group, and a few minutes later, the first wounded B18 torpedo bomber was wobbly approaching the Huashan and preparing to land.

Captain Qin Haitao, the landing commander, observed the B18 torpedo bomber that was about to land close to the rear of the Huashan, and he was wearing headphones at this time and had a direct call with the pilot, guiding the pilot to land in a correct attitude, but after the B18 torpedo bomber approached, Qin Haitao found that the landing gear of the B18 torpedo bomber was only two, and the other one was not put down.

"798, your left wing landing gear is not lowered, please stop landing, go back to flight, and enter the 5th stage of operation!"

The so-called fifth stage of the operation, even if the aircraft is allowed to climb again and then dive and pull up, use the dive gravity to see if the landing gear can be re-released, if it is not possible, it will directly give up landing, and can only take the way of forced landing on the water.

Immediately, the pilot's voice came from the headset: "Understand, if it is not successful, I will take a forced landing on the water, please be ready for salvage!" ”

The first wounded fighter B18 that was ready to land failed to land successfully, and the second wounded fighter had arrived behind the Huashan at this time, this was a wounded F8G fighter with little fuel left, this F8G fighter carried out many dive strafing attacks during the operation, and was hit by one of the fuel tanks, although it did not explode, but caused a lot of fuel leakage in the fuel tank, at this time it could not continue to hover for too long.

And this time the landing was very successful, the fighter plane successfully hooked the blocking cable and then stopped, and then a pilot wearing black leather armor climbed down, and Lieutenant Fei Bin, who took off his helmet, looked at the obvious bullet holes on the wing of his fighter, and smiled: "Lao Tzu has a big life, this can let me fly back!" Ha ha! ”

Obviously, he was in a good mood as he had escaped death, and at this time a sergeant came over: "Sir, please go to the rest room to rest, it won't be long before you have to take off to fight!" ”

Fei Bin laughed: "What to rest, I'll go to the landing command room to have a look!" ”

In the landing command room, five or six pilots were sitting, and the landing command of the carrier-based aircraft was actually not commanded by personnel inside the aircraft carrier, but by the senior pilots of the aviation wing, and Captain Qin Haitao was a senior pilot belonging to the Sixth Carrier-based Aircraft Wing. The reason why pilots are used to command the landing is because only experienced pilots can provide optimal guidance for the landing of fighters with their rich experience.

Fei Bin walked into the landing command room, looked at a few familiar faces, and immediately said: "Old Qin, you lost money if you didn't go this time!" ”

Captain Qin Haitao smiled: "Didn't I lead you to land, but I'll also fight later!" ”

"But, what about my brother, why didn't I see him!" The younger brother Qin Haitao said was not his own brother, but a cousin, two years younger than him, a second lieutenant in the navy, an F8G fighter pilot, who graduated from aviation school a year and a half ago, and was only promoted from a reserve pilot to a regular pilot last month.

"Qin Laoer, this kid is very elf, I saw him fighting at the beginning, and he was a burst of strafing at a destroyer!" When Fei Bin said this, he suddenly remembered that the battle was so fierce at that time, and he was also busy strafing and suppressing their anti-aircraft fire on those ships that said, and remembered that although he began to see Qin Laoer's fighter at that time, but later he saw a fighter plane shot down by the anti-aircraft fire of this destroyer, he seemed to remember that it was a comrade-in-arms of his squadron, but he didn't know if it was Qin Laoer.

Qin Haitao seemed to comfort himself: "His talent is much better than mine, although it is the first time to fight, but he should be fine!" ”

Fei Bin also responded: "Don't worry, I'm back, and your brother should be fine!" ”
