At the beginning, the pilot who was not named was very puzzled and secretly guessed the intention of Devil Island. As a result, they could not have imagined that these 120 comrades would actually follow the pilots of Devil Island to carry out their first cruise mission. While they were surprised, they also envied these 120 comrades in their hearts.

According to the prior allocation, eighty pilots boarded the Eagle Nest long-range strategic bomber, while forty pilots boarded the Vulture Heavy Fighter. Because Chen Tianliang was a comrade-in-arms with Hong Guoming, during the allocation, he and three other comrades from the same army followed Hong Guoming onto the captain plane.

After boarding the Eagle Nest bomber, Chen Tianliang and the other three immediately discovered that this new remote strategic bomber was very different from the bomber they had seen in the past. In order to load as much ammunition as possible, the cabin in the past was very narrow, and the cockpit was slightly larger than the cockpit of the fighter. The cabin of this Eagle Nest long-range strategic bomber was not only very spacious, but also equipped with a bed for rest. The cockpit at the nose was more than ten square meters. All the positions required by the bomber were concentrated in the cockpit, which was more conducive to cooperation and coordination during combat.

More importantly, the cockpit of the aircraft is not like other aircraft, and it is densely packed with various switches. In addition to the LCD screen, the entire driving platform is the joystick and some simple switches. This undoubtedly shocked Chen Tianliang and others. I wondered in my mind that such an aircraft can carry out long-range strategic cruise?

Wu Potian, who was sitting in the tower, heard the report that all the planes were ready for takeoff, so he picked up the telescope and looked at the bombers and fighters lined up to takeoff formations on the two runways. Then he looked at the clock on the wall of the tower. Seeing that it was already 9:55 pm, he smiled and said to Major General Lin sitting next to him: "Minister Lin has been less than five minutes away from the live broadcast. I believe that the people of our country are waiting in front of the TV to witness the moment when people can carry people in my country's aviation history. You can ask the reporters to start live broadcasting."

After getting Wu Potian's approval, the reporters in charge of the live news immediately turned on the camera machine and headed for takeoff against the fighter and bomber lined up on the two runways not far away. A female reporter was holding a microphone in her hand, standing in front of the camera with an airport outside as the background, and introduced excitedly: "Good evening for all viewers, I am a reporter from China Military News. Lin Huihui is now doing live broadcasts for everyone at a certain airport in our Air Force."

"Now all the audience know very well that this evening, Vice Chairman Wu, the leader of the Chinese military, held a press conference on behalf of the Supreme Military Commission of China and the Ministry of National Defense, and announced at the meeting that our country has successfully developed a bomber that can be used for long-range strategic bombing after decades of independent research and development, and will carry out long-range strategic cruise missions starting today."

When most of China's TV stations began to broadcast the news of China's first strategic cruise, millions of households in China gathered in front of their own TVs to watch the news of this maiden voyage.

In addition to the people of China, many other countries are also watching live broadcasts of China, especially those countries that maintain hostile relations with China or have not had good relations with China. They are even staring at the TV screen in front of them, hoping to find some useful information from it.

At the same time, in the Pacific Ocean hundreds of kilometers away from Devil Island, an American aircraft carrier fleet was sailing slowly on this sea area. All the electronic equipment on the fleet was completely on at this time. Over the fleet, two Japanese early warning aircraft and three American most advanced early warning aircraft were flying across the periphery of the China Air Defense Identification Zone, preparing to track China's strategic cruise plan throughout, hoping to use this to evaluate the relevant data of China's long-range strategic bombers.

Time passed by minute by minute. When the second hand passed the twelve numbers, Wu Potian picked up the starting gun placed on the table, walked outside the tower, and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

As a red signal flare soared into the air in the TV screen, the tails of the heavy fighter jets and long-range strategic bombers that were ready to go on the two runways immediately ejected blue flames, pushing the plane loaded with dozens of tons and quickly diving along the runway until after taxiing for dozens of meters, one big and two small, the noses of the three planes were almost at the same time, and rushed towards the starry night sky.

After the first batch of aircraft took off, the second batch of aircraft took off immediately, and so on. Until twenty long-range strategic bombers and forty escort aircraft took off, there were a burst of applause and cheers in the entire airport, including many places in China.

After the two large flight formations took off, the radar of the American aircraft carrier formation and the radar on the early warning aircraft received the radar signal as soon as possible. The fighter jets on the American aircraft carrier also began to take off urgently at this time, slowly moving closer to the direction of the Huaxia long-range strategic bomber formation.

After Hong Guoming controlled the bomber to fly into the sky, the radar of the Eagle Nest bomber immediately discovered more than a dozen signal sources. When Hong Guoming saw these more than a dozen signal signals, he immediately realized that these signals were probably signals from early warning aircraft or warships of the American and Japanese military. He immediately showed a very unscathing expression on his face and ordered the communications officer behind him: "Open the signal recognition system and determine these signal sources."

"The report captain signal identification system has been turned on, and it is determined that two signal sources belong to Japan's early warning aircraft, three signal sources belong to the latest American early warning aircraft, the other ten signal sources belong to the American aircraft carrier formation, and two signal sources belong to Japan's missile frigates."

"Damn we haven't given you any warnings yet. Unexpectedly, Japan and the United States want to give us a warning. Since that's the case, let's have fun." After hearing the communications officer's report, a joking gaze flashed in his eyes and ordered the communications officer: "Old Wei re-establishes the flight route, and the target American aircraft carrier formation, and orders the aircraft of the escort formation and bomber formation to take off for one minute of normal flight, then turn on the stealth system, and after the American aircraft carrier formation enters our attack range, simulate missile locking, and transmits this order back to the base at the same time."

Communications officer Lao Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard Hong Guoming's instructions. While implementing Hong Guoming's orders, he smiled and said to Hong Guoming: "Old Hong, you are simply too bad, but the doctor is definitely worse than you. I'm sure if he knew your order, he would definitely give orders that were crazier than you."
