"Is there anything wrong?"
Xue Zhengrong frowned and asked when he saw Li Hai's serious expression.
Li Hai said, "Were pigs so violent before when they came ashore?"
"This is the first time." Zhong Guobang said, his brows also furrowed.
The hollow container landed, and the workers opened the door to transport the pigs in small trucks in batches. There are no container trucks on the island, so the materials can only be transported separately.
As a result, the pigs rushed out crazily, scaring the workers to close the door quickly. A few pigs that luckily escaped ran wildly on the dock, and the workers chased after them. After a human-pig battle, they finally managed to get rid of the pigs.
A few pigs are under control.
Unfortunately, a pig jumped into the sea.
"I guess I was scared." Zhong Guobang said with a smile.
Li Hai thought about it and smiled, but didn't take it seriously.
After the daily supplies were unloaded, it was the turn of the ro-ro ship filled with construction machinery. One construction machinery after another drove out on its own. The arrival of hundreds of construction machinery of various types increased the construction force on the Forgotten Reef by three
times, breathtaking.
After leaving the pier and returning to the airport for dinner, several main cadres of the brigade sat at a round table by the window. Outside the window was the blue sea water, a perfect sea view restaurant.
Dang Weimin, who was talking, suddenly stopped, pointed out the window, his pupils dilated and said, "Look!"
Li Hai turned his head and looked out. Countless fish were jumping out of the water. A rough calculation showed that at least the sea surface was boiling the size of a basketball court, like live shrimps in a hot pot.
The officers and soldiers who were having a meal rushed to the windows to watch, amazed.
"What's going on? What happened underwater?" Li Hai thought of the live pig going crazy and jumping into the sea on the dock, and he became more solemn.
The scene of the fish leaping over the dragon's gate didn't last long, and the sea returned to calm.
At eight o'clock in the evening, all the air crews of the independent group were studying night flights in the flight briefing room. There were only three or two air crews in the entire group dispatched, so the shortage was severe.
After Xue Zhengrong introduced the night flight training of the Sea and Air Guard Regiment, he said, "This time the Sea Guard Regiment dispatched four J-10As and the H-6 of the bomber division to form a formation and conduct a long-distance cruise. Their flight time has exceeded
Six hours later, it is expected to meet up with the tanker over our airport at 21:00 to replenish fuel."
"Our mission is to ensure the refueling area is clear and ensure the safety of the cruise formation during refueling."
Li Hai quickly wrote down the flight plan and marked the data that needed to be focused on on the chart with a pencil.
To put it bluntly, the mission of this night flight is to stand guard for the cruise formation to ensure that they can successfully complete the refueling.
"Get ready." Xue Zhengrong said.
At this time, the phone rang.
Xue Zhengrong strode over and grabbed the microphone, "I am Xue Zhengrong."
"Zhengrong, I am Zhong Guobang. The lookout post reported that there are abnormalities in the sea on the east side. Sharks as big as cars are jumping into the water. I think the situation is not right and ordered the troops to enter a state of combat readiness." Zhong Guobang said.
Xue Zhengrong rang the fish leaping over the dragon gate that appeared during dinner and said, "Two hours ago, there was an abnormality in the sea on the side of our restaurant. I guess there is something wrong with the seabed. How does the weather department judge?"
"Everything is normal. I suspect there is an abnormality in the crustal movement. I have called the National Seismological Observatory to inquire." Zhong Guobang said.
It is common knowledge that animals behave abnormally on the eve of an earthquake. In fact, everyone was a little suspicious when we were at the dock, but no one speculated in the direction of the earthquake. Now the fish in the sea are moving frequently, and the signs are becoming more and more obvious.
"I immediately ordered the troops to enter a state of combat readiness." Xue Zhengrong put on the microphone and briefed everyone on the situation, then said, "Be prepared with both hands, night flight support will be implemented as usual, and the troops will enter a state of non-military combat readiness. Zhao Feiyan, Zhan Yuntian."
"Arrived!" Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian stood up.
Xue Zhengrong said, "You and the helicopter crew should prepare for takeoff immediately. If we want to go into rescue, your two helicopters are the main force. We must ensure that they can all fly."
"yes!"
Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian didn't waste any time, picked up their flying helmets and left quickly.
Dang Weimin said, "Earthquakes can cause tsunamis. Xue Da, were we affected by the last big tsunami? I remember that the surrounding countries suffered heavy losses at that time."
"The Forgotten Reef is very good, and the ships that come here to take shelter are also very good." Xue Zhengrong frowned and said, "Earthquakes cannot be predicted in advance. After the last tsunami in Indonesia, surrounding ships moved here to avoid it."
Dang Weimin recalled carefully and said, "The center of the earthquake plate is several hundred kilometers away from us. There should be no problems on our side."
Xue Zhengrong waved his hand, "It is not certain whether it is an earthquake. Even if there is an earthquake, it is still unclear whether it will cause a tsunami. Li Hai, the situation reported by the cruise formation is not very optimistic. There are always unknown aircraft following them from a distance along the way.
, you must stop any unidentified aircraft that may appear and ensure the smooth completion of the cruise formation's fuel supply."
"yes!"
"Go get ready."
J-8F No. 81103 has been waiting for a long time. After completing repairs and returning to construction, the aircraft participated in night flights for the first time. Three auxiliary fuel tanks and four PL series air-to-air missiles brought the aircraft to a fully loaded state.
After Li Hai entered the cockpit, Li Yuanchao climbed up, handed over a satellite phone, and said, "It uses the signal of our own communication satellite. We can use this to communicate with the tower in case of emergency."
Li Hai, who was checking various systems of the fighter jet, couldn't laugh or cry, "I won't be unlucky enough to have the communication system damaged twice."
"Who can say for sure..." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Yuanchao suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he quickly smiled and said, "No, anyway, be prepared and be prepared."
Li Hai took it and operated it several times under Li Yuanchao's guidance before attaching it to the left chest.
Li Yuanchao pointed to the weapon indicator and said, "The first is the cannon, the second is the PL-12, the third is the PL-9C, and the last three are auxiliary fuel tanks."
Li Hai checked one by one to ensure that all the hardpoints were working properly. "Well, the weapon management system is normal."
"The fuel tank in the aircraft is full," Li Yuanchao said.
After checking it, Li Hai said, "Confirm."
Li Yuanchao checked the connection between the flight helmet and the cockpit again, patted Li Hai on the shoulder, "No problem." Then he said in a lowered voice, "I have already told the cooking team Lao Zhang that I will wait for you to come back for midnight snacks.
.They prepared a lot of seafood and started a small barbecue in the afternoon."
"Okay." Li Hai couldn't help but spit.
680 kilometers northeast of Forgotten Reef, the cruise formation flew southward along the East Sixth Segment Line. Two H-6Ns and four J-10As formed two batches, taking off from the Qiongdao base and flying northeast, around the island.
After flying around for a while, we flew south along the Eastern Sixth Segment Line. By the time we got here, we had traveled more than 4,000 kilometers.
The four J-10As have already received one aerial refueling and will fly more than 600 kilometers to reach the sky above Forgotten Reef. They will receive a second aerial refueling. Then, the formation will go north along the third section of the west line and finally return to the base.
The total voyage is more than 6,000 kilometers, which is a solid long-distance cruise training.
