Chapter 30: Boarding the Liaoning Aircraft Carrier
Seeing others staring at her with peculiar eyes, Qiu Lin also felt a bit out of place and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, sticking out her tongue and continuing to do push-ups.
Zhao Hu was indeed amused by Qiu Lin's mischievousness and burst out laughing, but he didn't say anything. He only instructed Sun Fan to be careful with safety before turning around and heading towards his own office.
Maybe it's because they can board the Liaoning ship, all the students suddenly became energetic and lively as if they had been injected with chicken blood, one after another completing their tasks and standing up, even more so, voluntarily forming a neat and tidy military posture in three rows of eight columns.
Sun watched as each of them was so enthusiastic about the Liaoning ship, standing more upright than usual without needing to be ordered, and couldn't help but let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart. This time, being able to board the Liaoning ship and observe the operation of an aircraft carrier up close was the most important part of Sun's entire training plan.
He glanced at his watch and it was already 8:30 in the evening. Sun Fan turned around and looked at the Liaoning ship 200 meters away, and shouted to the control room of the 157th ship through the previously prepared walkie-talkie: "157th ship, please align with the right side of the Liaoning ship."
In the control room, Han Jie received Sun Fan's request and responded with a "got it". He then used a specific frequency to contact the Liaoning ship and ask for docking.
"This is Captain Han Jie of destroyer 157. As per previous task arrangement, our ship will approach yours from your starboard side."
"Come alongside, mind your speed synchronization."
"Understood!" In response to the instructions of No. 16 ship, Han Jie ordered the helmsman: "Left rudder four ahead one, speed 35."
"Rudder four ahead one, speed 35!" In response to Han Jie's instructions, the helmsman pushed the control stick forward, and the hull of the 157 ship moved towards the Liaoning ship.
Then, Han Jie ordered: "Number three, take your position and prepare for docking!"
According to the instructions, three soldiers quickly appeared on the left side of Ship 157 with throwing guns, standing at intervals of thirty meters each at the bow, middle and stern. When the gunners were in position, the soldier commanding the gunners reported to Han Jie through the walkie-talkie: "Number three position is ready!"
"Report distance with Liaoning ship!"
"One hundred meters!"
"Drop anchor 30 meters!"
"Number three, understood!" Following Han Jie's instructions, the left hand of the throwing gun gunner commander was raised, and the three gunners looked at the commander's gesture and also raised their throwing guns, aiming at the Liaoning ship that was slowly approaching 100 meters away.
Under the cover of night, at this moment, six soldiers can be vaguely seen on the starboard side of the Liaoning ship, ready to prepare for the mooring of the 157th ship.
When the 157 warship arrived at a distance of 30 meters, the commander's left hand swiftly dropped down and ordered "Release!" Three gunners instantly pulled the trigger, accompanied by a "whooshing" sound, three harpoon guns carrying cables flew onto the deck of the Liaoning ship.
At this moment, you can clearly see the texture of the steel plate on the Liaoning ship's hull, and you can also hear the sounds coming from the Liaoning ship.
"All personnel on No. 3 deck, report to the assembly point!" Along with the announcement came a burst of footsteps clattering against the steel plates.
"Assembly?" Hearing that there was activity on the Liaoning, Qiu Lin couldn't help but feel a little excited. However, when she looked up, she found that the mast of the 157 ship was only slightly higher than the deck of the Liaoning, and the entire hull was only half as long as the Liaoning.
Immediately afterwards, another announcement sounded on the Liaoning: "All pilots, please gather on the deck!"
"Are the pilots gathering too?! We're going to see China's first batch of carrier-based aircraft pilots!" Upon hearing this news, Qiu Lin became so excited that she couldn't help but shout out loud. She even wished that the moment the 157 ship docked smoothly alongside the Liaoning, she could take a step and jump onto the deck of the Liaoning.
Looking at Qiu Lin's excited appearance, Sun Fan didn't say anything. He just turned around and quietly watched as the 157 ship docked smoothly alongside the Liaoning ship.
"Report to the captain, 157 ship docked successfully alongside Liaoning ship according to plan."
After that, the commander waved his hand at the three gunmen, and the three soldiers quickly gathered from front to back, carrying throwing guns and leaving the deck from the island gate. At this time, a rope ladder descended from the sky to the tail of the Liaoning ship, landing on the helicopter pad at the tail of the 157th ship.
Without waiting for Sun's order, Qiu Lin rushed out and climbed up the rope ladder to the Liaoning ship.
Looking at Qiu Lin's current agile posture with her hands and feet in use, Zhuo Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, thinking that even a foodie's body could burst out such great power in the face of temptation, it was really a kind of miracle.
Lu Tao wasn't willing to be left behind, seeing Qiu Lin rush out, Sun Fan didn't say anything, he also rushed forward, second to board the Liaoning warship. The others were also one after another, following the rope ladder, boarding the Liaoning warship, but Sun Qifan and Jiang Yurou just stood still on the spot, quietly watching the others rush to the rope ladder in a flurry.
Zhuo Yi saw that the two men didn't look very enthusiastic, so she couldn't help but ask Sun Qifan: "What? Don't you want to go take a look at what the Liaoning aircraft carrier looks like?"
Sun Qifan smiled coldly and said, "From now on, I'm going to be a carrier-based aircraft pilot of our country's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Do I need to get excited about a conventional powered aircraft carrier?"
"Hey, kid, you really think you can stay?" Listening to Sun Qifan's shameless words, Zhuo Yi also sneered coldly.
Sun Qifan didn't answer Zhuo Yi again, but instead retracted his smile and walked towards the rope ladder.
Following Sun Qifan, Jiang Yurou walked out towards the rope ladder. Zhuo Yi didn't say anything to Jiang Yurou, she knew that at this moment, Jiang Yurou was doing what a captain should do, and she also knew that Jiang Yurou's heart was like Qiu Lin's, eager to rush to the Liaoning warship.
Perhaps due to not having eaten yet, combined with the psychological test in the afternoon, Jiang Yurou had consumed too much physical strength and did another hundred push-ups. At the moment when Jiang Yurou's foot stepped on the rope ladder, she couldn't help but slip a little, feeling unsteady. Sun Qifan, sensing something was off, turned his head without hesitation and grabbed Jiang Yurou's hand, even though he didn't understand why he cared so much about her at that moment.
Jiang Yurou also did not expect Sun Qifan's reaction to be so swift, but she still struggled free from his grasp and coldly told him: "Leave quickly!"
"Sorry..." Sun Qifan didn't know what to say, he could only utter the three words that were long overdue to Jiang Yuru, and then turned around to climb up the rope ladder back onto the deck of the Liaoning warship.
When Sun Qifan arrived on the deck of the Liaoning, he saw the flight team lined up in front of him, with all the pilots standing behind their J-15 fighter jets. Sun Qifan couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere and was stunned.
"Fall in!" The first thing Jiang Yuru did after getting on deck was to assemble.
In front of their seniors, the twenty-three cadets suddenly showed their best state, as if saying to Old Fei: "We're here!" As soon as Jiang Yurou gave the order "Right face!", everyone's footsteps stomped on the deck, making a loud noise. Each person stood tall and proud, looking at Lu Tao, while Lu Tao stood in military posture with piercing eyes, staring at the old pilots in front of him.
"Look ahead!"
At the command, everyone "brushed" back in an extremely uniform motion, looking up to gaze at the old flying squad ten meters away.
The voice fell with the whistle of the 157 ship, Jiang Yurou saw Sun Fan had already boarded the deck, and immediately turned around to clasp his fists, running quickly to Sun Fan's side. "Report, Comrade Instructor, the South Sea Fleet Flying Shark Student Squadron has assembled, Student Squadron Leader Jiang Yurou!"
"Halt!"
"Yes!" Responding to Sun's instruction, Jiang Yurou bowed and then ran back to the front of the troops, ordering: "Take a short rest!" After finishing, she ran again and returned to her own position.
Xin Fei's performance ended, and Lao Fei's team was at the front of the queue. A colonel rushed to the front of the queue.
"Right face!"
As the instructor's command, all the old pilots also started to move in small steps. However, they were different from Sun Qifan and others, without waiting for the instructor to give the "look forward" command, they turned their heads back one by one from right to left, with everyone's movements perfectly coordinated and harmonious.
When everyone had turned around, the captain turned around and ran a few steps towards Sun Fang, stopped and saluted: "Report to the squadron leader, the Liaoning warship's Black Shark team has assembled, please instruct!"
"Take a break!"
"Yes!"
Responding to Sun Fan's words, the colonel returned to the front of the formation and gave the order "at ease" before returning to his original position. Responding to Sun Fan's words, Zhuo Yi also walked towards Lao Fei's formation and stood in the most rightmost and foremost position, a position that was the same as Jiang Yu Rou's, indicating that Zhuo Yi was the leader of this batch of old flyers.
Both the new and old teams of pilots have gathered, each person is spirited and refreshed. Sun Fan couldn't help but smile as he stepped forward to the center of the two teams.
Sun looked around at the troops on both sides before saying, "Let's talk!"
"Bang!" With Sun's command, the new and old flight teams simultaneously let out a thunderous and earth-shaking roar.
Listening to the crisp and pleasant sound, watching the new flying not yielding to the old flying, the old flying wants to make the new flying surrender atmosphere, Sun Fan is delighted from the heart. Especially looking at Zhuo Yi and Jiang Yu Rong two masters and apprentices, he is even more overjoyed.
"However, he didn't say much and after a moment of silence said: 'Dismissed! Go eat!'"
The long-awaited speech ended with an instruction to eat, which made the old pilots feel a bit resentful. They all asked Zhuo Yi to come down and properly scold Sun Fang afterwards.
Xinfei's side, upon hearing the instruction to disperse and eat, also became excited. Especially Qiu Lin, she didn't consider herself a newcomer at all, directly rushing into Lao Fei's team, grabbing the nearest old flyer, without saying a word, took off Lao Fei's helmet and put it on her own head, with an excited face asking Zhuo Yi: "Zhuo boss, am I handsome?!"
