Li Hai completely forgot that he was still just a rookie pilot. In the eyes of veteran pilots, he and his peers were all new recruits whose hair had not even grown yet.
What does that mean?
He is still a new recruit who needs at least half a year of training to be fully equipped to fly a fighter aircraft alone to perform missions. Not to mention night flights under extremely low weather conditions, even solo flights under good weather must be paid close attention to.
Xue Zhengrong suddenly felt unwell. Li Hai was the only pilot on the entire Forgotten Reef who could carry out reconnaissance missions. The situation forced him to go, and he would not go if he didn't!
At this point, Li Hai no longer thought about whether he could go back. In fact, he didn't have any extra energy to think about the next thing.
There is only one thing at hand - to find Nanyu No. 33076.
The appearance of a ten-meter huge wave is a terrible sign. There is very likely a storm forming in the east! This is not a rare phenomenon. Multiple storms attract each other in an area to form a huge typhoon, which is extremely destructive.
horrible!
Now we not only need to consider how long Nanyu 33076 can last, but also consider the second storm that is very likely to arrive at any time!
In order to achieve the best search effect, Li Hai chose to lower the flight altitude as much as possible to visually search the sea surface. He knew that at an altitude of 200 meters, the left red and right green navigation lights of the fighter plane were very obvious targets, and the crew must
If you can see it, you will definitely find a way to send a signal.
This is indeed true, but except for Wu Taizong, who was tied to a chair and was still in his original position, almost everyone on the Nanyu 33076 was injured in the violent collision, and they were all below the deck.
When Wu Taizong slowly woke up, he found that he was stuck in the chair by the collapsed equipment. His left leg was in great pain and might have been broken.
The ship had overturned, and the cabin window on the right faced the sky. He raised his head and looked up through the cabin window, and he could actually see the moon through an oval gap in the clouds.
The faint roar of the engine came. Wu Taizong shook his head and listened, it was the sound of the aircraft engine. Then, he saw a red and green light flying past the cabin window, followed by a louder roar of the engine.
"Old Wu?" The instructor climbed up with difficulty along the ceiling.
Wu Taizong came back to his senses and said loudly, "There are planes outside! Instructor! There are planes outside! Rescue must have arrived! Instructor! Go get the flare, it's in the emergency cabinet!"
The instructor climbed over to the emergency cabinet with difficulty. The hull turned at 90 degrees, with the left hull facing down and the right hull facing up. The ceiling was on the left and the floor on the right. Sea water continued to pour in, and it sank just a moment later.
Wu Taizong tried his best to push away the equipment that was pressing on him. After enduring the severe pain and struggling to get out, he found that he could hardly use his left leg. He moved hard along the passage to the cabin, shouting loudly for everyone to
Abandon ship. Several injured crew members struggled out, and Wu Taizong pushed them to rescue others...
The Nanyu 33076, which was in a rollover state, was directly under the fighter plane's route, so Li Hai did not notice the ship. However, Li Hai noticed a reflected signal flashing across the airborne radar display with his peripheral vision.
Hai was not familiar with the airborne radar used by the J-8F. He judged that the reflected signal was from the front based on his previous understanding of the airborne radar used by the Haishan Eagle and J-15 fighters.
So, he slowed down again and continued to search forward.
After two full minutes, there was still no discovery. Li Hai suddenly thought that if there is a certain delay in the detection of the airborne radar, the target may not be in front of the fighter plane, but may be in the rear. Considering that the flight altitude is only 200 meters, the airborne radar
The range of action is very short, and considering the flight speed, the target may be missed during the time it takes for the airborne radar to detect the target, react to it, and then display it on the display.
After understanding this, Li Hai's confidence greatly increased, he made an emergency turn, and even subconsciously made a roll!
When the fighter plane resumed level flight, he was shocked to find that the flying height was less than fifty meters!
Suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat, Li Hai quickly climbed to a higher altitude, silently calculating the distance between the two routes, and focused his attention on the sea about one kilometer away on the left.
In just three seconds, a severely tilted ship appeared in his night vision device.
That must be Nanyu No. 33076!
At this moment, the ship suddenly raised a red signal flare.
"found it!"
Li Hai couldn't help shouting, and flew the fighter plane over. While flying carefully around the fishing boat, he carefully observed the situation of the fishing boat. The number on the side of the bow was Nanyu No. 33076. That's right, it was it!
But soon, Li Hai's excitement dissipated. He found that the situation of Nanyu 33076 was very dangerous. Half of the hull was already underwater. Under waves after waves, Nanyu 33076 was in danger.
It could sink at any time.
Li Hai had no choice, he had no choice.
How he wished he was flying a helicopter at this moment instead of a fixed-wing aircraft that couldn't hover!
"You must hold on!"
After Li Hai marked the position on the chart, he decisively turned due west, then gritted his teeth and turned on the afterburner, pulled up the nose of the aircraft and accelerated the climb!
He will fly back as soon as possible to report the situation of Nanyu 33076!
After receiving a report from Wangji Reef about the loss of Nanyu No. 33076 signal, Li Zewen, who landed on the tuna fishing boat No. 101 of the Gun Group ten minutes ago, decided to make an emergency takeoff and rush to the sea area where the incident occurred. After refueling, Li Zewen's crew took two
Rescuers took off.
At this time, Li Hai was climbing crazily to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Xue Zhengrong did not know that Li Hai had found Nanyu No. 33076, but he knew that Li Hai was going to return. A serious question is, can Li Hai return safely without ground guidance?
Maybe you can't even find it at the airport.
This is not alarmist!
Someone once said that without the ground guidance of the J-7, the J-8 fleet lost its combat capability. The People's Air Force used the most advanced jet fighters at the time to fight the most powerful air force in the world on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
So much so that the outside world exclaimed that our country had become an air force power overnight. The combat method at that time was to guide fighter planes on the ground. Without ground guidance, fighter planes would become short-sighted.
In the following decades, this combat method has not changed, and based on this combat method, the early models of the J-7 and J-8 series fighters developed later did not have independent detection capabilities - no
Airborne radar.
Today in 2018, even for second-generation semi-fighters like the J-8F, the avionics system, especially the airborne radar, has become the focus of improvement.
The question is, can Le Hai use instruments and airborne radar to find his way home?
Xue Zhengrong looked at the constantly refreshing weather data, his heart heavy...
