In the bustling southern metropolis, there is a large and quiet courtyard in the center of the old city. There are various trees and flowers, regular traffic roads, and low-rise buildings surrounded by thoughtful trees.
distributed.
Twenty years ago, facing residential areas full of high-rise buildings, such a compound was synonymous with backwardness. Today, twenty years later, a garden-style compound in such a location is a manifestation of power.
Who would have thought that the authority that controls the entire airspace in South China is located in this compound. Starting from southern Hunan and ending at Old Grandma Ansha, the airspace spanning 2,936 kilometers from north to south is controlled by a unit called the Southern Air Force Air Traffic Control Center.
This department is affiliated with the Air Force and is one of the Air Force's major air traffic control centers.
At the same time, the unit also has another brand - the Air Force Southern Regional Command Center.
All aircraft flying in the sky must be subject to the control of this department, including civil aviation, naval aviation, and army aviation. In one sentence, everything flying in the sky is under the control of the Air Force.
There are even times when relevant local departments request the Air Force to use radar to help monitor the movements of some rare birds.
In the new construction plan of Forgotten Reef, an air traffic control radar station is clearly listed. The Air Force has clearly stated that the Navy must build an air traffic control radar station on the Forget Reef-Musha Naval Training Station in full compliance with the requirements of the Air Force to strengthen the Air Force.
Management and control of this airspace.
Generally speaking, the requirements for the airspace, routes, and routes allocated by the Air Force to civil aviation are very strict, that is to say, once the line is crossed, an alarm will be triggered. To achieve this, the Air Force air traffic control department must monitor the airspace.
Possess comprehensive management and control capabilities.
The Forgotten Reef-Musha Naval Training Station was founded, and many infrastructures are still under construction. Therefore, the air force air traffic control department implements relatively loose management and control of this airspace, and mainly relies on the Forgettable Reef Airport to take care of the management.
As soon as Li Hai and Zhan Yuntian took off, the third-level sergeant major at the emergency seat of the Air Force's southern regional command center received an urgent order. He immediately reported to the commander on duty.
"A Great Wall boat encountered an emergency in the waters east of Nansha. They have been submersing for thirty days. If they cannot float to recharge within two hours, the oxygen in the cabin will be exhausted. However, the captain believes that it is not necessary as a last resort.
Don't float...this is an instruction from your superiors." The third-level sergeant major handed over the still-warm message that he had just printed out.
The commander on duty read the message carefully, frowned and said, "Why can't we float up? Are these two destroyers of the US Navy just opening fire?"
"Commander, you don't know something." The third-level sergeant major knew some common sense about the navy and said seriously, "In a confrontation, the surface of a submarine means surrender. Once the Great Wall boat surfaces, it will admit defeat in this round of confrontation.
Yes. They are both floating. There is an essential difference between active floating and forced floating."
In short, the Great Wall boat takes the initiative to float up and recharge only if it has mastered the initiative on the battlefield and even defeated the enemy. If it is forced to float up, it is tantamount to surrendering. Obviously, it is absolutely impossible for the Great Wall boat to be forced to float up.
.
The commander on duty trembled and nodded solemnly, "So there is a saying. Where is our nearest aircraft? Call up the status of all training groups over the South China Sea and see which training group is closest!"
The technical staff at several seats acted quickly, and soon all the information was displayed on the huge LED display.
"The nearest training group is in the airspace near Missing Island, 700 kilometers away." A staff officer quickly called up the details of the training group and continued to report, "They are two J-10 twin-seaters. They have been in the air for two hours...
…Commander, they don’t have enough fuel.”
"Next group!" the commander decisively gave up the training group.
At this time, the training group selected based on the screening conditions finally settled on a solitary signal - No. 037 J-7EGGHS light carrier-based training fighter.
"Commander, there is a Hainan Airlines plane here! It is only more than 200 kilometers away from the mission sea area, and they have plenty of fuel! However, they are performing a new recruit training mission today and they do not carry live ammunition." The third-level sergeant major reacted the most
Quick, I immediately called up the relevant filing status to take a look.
They first started with the Air Force's own aircraft, and then expanded to the Navy system. Therefore, the location advantage of the No. 037 J-7EGGHS was highlighted at this time.
The commander did not hesitate at all, "Send him over! Order the Forgotten Reef... The 167th Independent Group scrambled to take off two fighter planes to support the Great Wall boat!"
"yes!"
No. 037 J-7EGGHS is in the airspace about 80 kilometers east of the Forgotten Reef Airport, continuing to advance steadily eastward at an altitude of 8,000 meters and a cruising speed of 920 kilometers per hour.
This is like a pilot's five-kilometer cross-country assessment. After flying for a period of time according to the specified flight parameters, Li Hai set a time of 30 minutes for Zhan Yuntian.
After a slight electromagnetic interference sound, a strange call came in.
Li Hai subconsciously glanced at Wave Number 2, the command channel, and the indicator light above was always green.
"Dong Sanguai, this is Nanzhi. Your aircraft will immediately head to Sea Area No. 17 to reinforce the Great Wall boat. Use the protocol communication solution. Repeat. The Great Wall boat will continue to reinforce. Your aircraft must arrive in the shortest possible time to assist the Great Wall boat in driving away.
Two Burke-class destroyers create opportunities for the Great Wall boat to float and recharge!"
Li Hai repeated the instructions and after Nanzhi confirmed that they were correct, he directly surpassed the front cabin and gained control of the fighter. At the same time, he reported to Nanzhi, "Dong Sanguai is heading to Sea Area No. 17. Repeat, Dong Sanguai is heading to Sea Area No. 17."
The sea area is expected to arrive in ten minutes!"
"Received, reported when in place, completed!"
"Report after arriving, finished!"
After the South Point intervenes in the command, the Forgotten Reef tower will maintain radio silence unless Le Hai enters the take-off and landing airspace.
It should be pointed out that this South Pointer is not the other South Pointer. Before the military reform, the South Pointer was the abbreviation of the Air Force Nanning Command Post. After 2017, the Nanning Command Post was merged into the newly established Nanning Base, and the Air Force's command and control system was changed to
For regional command and control, several new regional command centers have been built. The Air Force Southern Airspace Control Center (i.e. Air Force Southern Command Center) is referred to as the Southern Air Force Command Center.
Li Hai's generation of pilots, that is, the group of people who entered the army in 2018, are the first batch of rising stars to receive new model combat training after the military reform. They may not understand the previous mechanisms and systems, but they are familiar with the current and currently being explored
The new mode is very familiar.
For example, now, although Nanzhi did not say what happened to the Great Wall boat, Li Hai can roughly guess what the specific situation was. Submarines rarely ask for help, and they are the underwater weapons that are easiest for others to ask for help.
Moreover, the biggest feature of submarines is their super concealment performance, which is the weapon with the best concealment performance among naval weapons. Once a request for help occurs, no matter what method of communication is used, there is a possibility of exposure.
Therefore, submarines will not actively ask for help unless absolutely necessary, and more often they will remain silent and passively receive instructions from the submarine command.
Therefore, the situation of Li Hai and even the Great Wall boat was very critical.
The two Burke-class destroyers may have formed a situation surrounding the Great Wall boat.
