When the airspeed reached 900 kilometers per hour, Li Hai took out his flashlight and checked the ice accumulation on the edge of the front windshield, and got gratifying results - the icing phenomenon disappeared.
The problem of icing cannot be underestimated.
Aviation history is littered with air crashes caused by icing problems.
In order to extend the use time of the afterburner, Li Hai used the method of repeatedly opening and closing the afterburner to maintain the climb rate and speed of the fighter.
J-8F No. 81103 is like a child abandoned by his parents on the dark night street, trembling in the rain and hail, but he is moving forward and trudging in the direction he has determined.
Hailstones the size of quail eggs were hitting everyone, and the sound they made when they hit the cockpit glass was clearly heard by Li Hai, who was wearing a flight helmet. The entire fuselage was more like going through a boxing match with disparity in strength.
The opponent punches very fast, and the fists come like raindrops.
A hailstone damaged the communication antenna, followed by another larger hailstone that damaged the backup communication antenna...
As if squeezing out of a crowded crowd and entering an open area, the fighter plane suddenly felt light and swaying, and the shaking and trembling suddenly disappeared, replaced by a smooth and calm one, more like a lottery that jumped out after shaking violently in the lottery tube.
It stabilized after landing.
When Li Hai pressed down and returned to level flight, he couldn't help but stare at the stars above. The sky was full of small stars. At this time, he had completely broken through the storm clouds and was outside the scope of the storm. Tropical marine climate conditions
From a vertical perspective, the impact range of storms generated below is mostly at mid- to low-altitudes. Moreover, theoretically speaking, the higher an aircraft flies, the less susceptible it is to the weather. If it flies out of the atmosphere, there is no air pressure and
Gravity and weather have nothing to do with you.
Hot air rises and cold air falls. When convective weather occurs, the airflow will definitely be a mess, without exception. Most airflows in storms follow certain rules, and under certain circumstances it is not very dangerous.
Li Hai is very interested in climatology, not because it is one of the required courses, but because he is keenly aware that pilots flying fighter planes in the air believe that there are three major enemies. The first one is the enemy, followed by the weather.
, and finally myself. Looking at the ace pilots in history, regardless of the influence of chance, their combat skills are very outstanding, and here, using the judgment and analysis of the weather is usually an excellent way to create fighter aircraft.
.
Li Hai breathed a sigh of relief and called the tower, "Tower, Dong San is flying at altitude 8,400, heading 90, requesting target instructions, over."
No reply.
"Tower, Cave 3 call, completed." Li Hai frowned, checked the communication system, and found that both the sending and receiving status were in an abnormal state.
It got so big that it lost contact with the ground.
Xue Zhengrong saw from the radar screen that J-8F No. 81103 had climbed to a safe altitude. After waiting for a minute, he did not receive a call from Li Hai. He quickly took the initiative to call: "Dong San, keep the course and altitude. The fishing boat in distress is here."
One hundred and eighty kilometers ahead of you, it’s over.”
No reply.
Xue Zhengrong subconsciously looked at Li Zewen and found that his father, who was a veteran of the armed forces, had a very calm expression. Xue Zhengrong quickly calmed down and called again, "Dong San, I heard the answer, it's over."
Still no reply.
Undoubtedly, the pressure on the ground commander is no less than that of the pilot. It was Xue Zhengrong's decision to send Li Hai. Once something went wrong, he would not be able to live with it. You must know that new pilots are absolutely not allowed to fly in such weather.
, let alone the dark night in the early hours of the morning.
The staff officer kept staring at Xue Zhengrong. After calling several times, Xue Zhengrong nodded slightly to the staff officer. The staff officer quickly looked at the time. At 2:05 in the morning, he recorded in the log the exact time when the J-8F communication No. 81103 was interrupted.
Fortunately, the radar was monitoring J-8F No. 81103 and could clearly see Li Hai flying towards the sea area where the incident occurred.
"Check the communication system." Xue Zhengrong gave the order.
The staff officer in charge of communications quickly checked it and reported, "There is no problem with the ground communications system!"
Basically, it is certain that there is a problem with the communication system on the plane. In such bad weather, it is not unexpected that the instrument will be damaged. As long as the radar can still see J-8F No. 81103, it means that there is no problem in Li Hai's situation.
.
Li Hai has no way to communicate with the ground. He now has two choices: first, return, and second, continue the mission.
Everyone on the tower could clearly see that Li Hai chose to continue the mission without any hesitation.
At this time, Li Zewen said, "Xiao Xue, my boat has set off. If you have the specific location of the fishing boat in distress, please report it to me immediately."
After he finished speaking, he left.
Xue Zhengrong said anxiously, "Uncle Li, where are you going?"
"I'm going back to my ship."
"But the ship has already set off."
Li Zewen smiled and said, "You forgot that the ship-borne helicopter is still here with you."
The current weather is simply not suitable for helicopter flying!
Knowing what Xue Zhengrong was worried about, Li Zewen interrupted him with a wave of his hand and a smile, and said, "My helicopter driving skills are better than those of the pilots of your Hainan Airlines Old Dolphin Group, and I learned special helicopter driving before, so you don't have to worry. Contact
Without going to Le Hai, even if he finds a ship in distress, he will have to return and report it. At this time, a helicopter is needed."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Xue Zhengrong was stunned there, his eyes were red. Neither father and son said a word to the point, but each of them hit the point - they unanimously put life and death behind, and made up their minds to fight against Nanyu 33076 one after another.
More than 60 crew members on board the fishing boat carried out rescue operations.
Li Zewen is such a son, is he not worried at all? Of course it is impossible!
But as a veteran, he knew very well that Li Hai was a soldier at this moment, and he had to do that. Even if there were any problems in the process, he would have to bear the cost. As a father, he also had to bear the cost.
To be endured.
In addition, he has never regarded himself as an ordinary person. This is the reason why he decided to take the risk of flying a helicopter to take off and return to the ship to take over Li Hai's mission. If Li Hai was unfortunately killed, then the ship's crew of "Gun Regiment 101" would be
Helicopters are the last resort for aerial searches!
This is why Xue Zhengrong was deeply shocked, and all the officers and soldiers on the tower were moved from this!
The A-109 light helicopter was towed out of the hangar by a tractor. Li Zewen went into battle lightly. The two pilots who were left on standby at the airport chased after him and shouted in the pouring rain, "The main ship! Let's go! Let's go!"
Li Zewen opened the cockpit door and said loudly, "Of course you want to go! Xiao Fang will be my co-pilot, and Xiao Geng will observe from the back cabin!"
"yes!"
The three of them quickly boarded the plane.
In the dark night, the rainwater formed a line and tilted at a large angle under the searchlight, and the wind was very strong.
The A-109 light helicopter swayed off the ground, its nose was very low, its tail was raised high, and then it flew out quickly close to the ground, flew to the sea and disappeared from the sight of everyone in the tower. Li
Zewen slowly rose to some heights.
“This old man’s driving skills are really awesome!”
Li Zewen's skill amazed the officers and soldiers on the tower. They had never seen a helicopter take off in such a stunning way in an environment with heavy winds, heavy rain and no visibility.
"What old man? Uncle Li is still young."
Xue Zhengrong sighed and thought to himself, you young people don't know how solid the skills of the older generation are, especially the soldiers led by the God of War Li Mu.
