J-8FR No. 81101 is waiting for its new owner on the tarmac.
Li Hai's plane has been undergoing comprehensive maintenance in the hangar. Today's aircraft on combat readiness duty is Xue Zhengrong's plane. There are enough planes but not enough pilots. When Xue Zhengrong is unwell, only Li Hai can continue flying.
The Party for the People situation has not yet received permission to resume operations, although he is very anxious in his heart.
The burden once again fell on Li Hai's shoulders.
It also highlights the shortage of pilots in the Forgotten Reef Squadron.
Xue Zhengrong dragged his sick body and took over the commander's post, and Li Hai went to board the plane to prepare for the flight. His judgment was consistent with Li Hai's, and he basically determined that it was a black aircraft, a small, slow-speed propeller aircraft.
Due to the geographical relationship, there are often some small planes coming from the east, mostly for sightseeing, and there are also ocean exploration planes, and sometimes there are deviating planes. However, these planes will report flight plans in advance in accordance with international practice.
The Forgotten Reef Airport does not have civil aviation properties for the time being, and the way to deal with similar situations is very simple - take off fighter planes for verification and identification.
The troops did not have time to contact the civil aviation control department to find out the identity of the unidentified aircraft, so they used the simplest and most direct method.
At this time, Xue Zhengrong also did not know how to contact the civil aviation control department. It was only a few dozen kilometers away from the Forgotten Reef. This distance already made him very nervous, and he did not have the time to go through the cumbersome process.
If it is another possibility with extremely low probability - it is a fighter jet with good stealth performance. Xue Zhengrong's thoughts are the same as Li Hai's, but he is happy.
The opportunity is really rare.
The main reason why Li Hai requested to take off for verification and identification was because if it was an F-22A, he would be the first person to have the honor of flying a J-8F against an F-22A!
It is impossible to fight, but it is completely possible to use the opportunity of close contact to collect some characteristic signals.
That's right, Xue Zhengrong's plane is a J-8FR electronic reconnaissance aircraft. It is the only fighter aircraft in the Forgotten Reef Squadron that has the characteristics of collecting electronic signals.
In addition to Li Hai's J-8F No. 81103, there are two other fighters that can be used, but Xue Zhengrong's landline is chosen for this reason.
By this time, the officers and soldiers in the tower had all come to their senses. Instead, they were looking forward to seeing an F-22A or some other fighter with good stealth performance.
Li Hai turned on the afterburner and took off in an emergency. He climbed to an altitude of 8,000 meters at high speed and reached supersonic speeds. He reached the distance of just tens of kilometers in one breath.
The J-8FR, developed based on the J-8F, has this ability to quickly reach mission airspace.
"Tower, I have arrived in the designated airspace and am ready to conduct a radar search. It's over." Li Hai reported to the tower.
Xue Zhengrong replied, "Dongyao can conduct radar searches. Air Transport No. 9 is to the north of you. I will guide Air Transport No. 9 to land. It's over."
"clear."
Li Hai turned on the airborne radar and immediately found Airlift No. 9, whose radar signal was very obvious. He flew over with the control stick, adjusted the wave number and called: "Airlift No. 9, this is Dong Yao, the tower will guide you to land, the unidentified aircraft
Leave it to me and I will protect you, over."
"Dong Yao, Air Transport No. 9 understands, thank you!"
The deputy captain pressed the control stick and quickly lowered the flight altitude. Under the guidance of the tower, he no longer made four turns, but directly entered the field and landed. There were medical staff on board the Y-9 tactical transport aircraft, as well as two unexpected guests.
, no one dares to take risks and settles down as soon as possible.
Li Hai watched the Y-9 tactical transport plane rush towards the Forgotten Reef Airport in an Afghan-style dive, and felt a little relieved. He could start his activities without any worries. The two PL-9C air-to-air missiles under the wings were his confidence.
.
Don’t underestimate the J-8F and J-8FR. These two models can even use PL-12 medium-range air-to-air missiles and YJ-83 air-launched anti-ship missiles. Before the domestic third-generation aircraft enter the service sequence, the introduction of third-generation aircraft
With limited numbers, the naval aviation force is responsible for tearing apart the enemy fleet's air defense network and attacking large surface formations. The heavy burden lies on the J-8F fleet, which must cooperate with the JH-7 fleet.
In the Forgotten Reef Flying Squadron, only Xue Zhengrong's aircraft can carry air-to-air missiles. Li Hai and Dang Weimin are new recruits. They have already fired live ammunition when they were at the training base. The problem is that they are new recruits and the army cannot easily
Let them mount live ammunition and perform missions alone.
Based on the previously known directions, Li Hai scanned the vast sector and quickly discovered the weak radar signal, fifteen kilometers to his right.
"Found the target, request to go for verification and identification, completed." Li Hai called the tower.
"You can go for verification and identification, pay attention to international flight rules, that's it." Xue Zhengrong reminded.
"Dongyao understands."
Li Hai accelerated the engine speed, and a pigeon turned over, adjusted its course, and flew straight towards the target. It is obvious that Li Hai, who has experienced extreme flight in a typhoon, is more confident than before when flying a fighter plane.
This is the "pilot's confidence" that the Flying Shark Force has repeatedly emphasized.
When flying, the fighter aircraft under the crotch is like an obedient sheep. When fighting, it is like a tiger out of the cage and an eagle pouncing on prey. It is controlled like an arm and it feels like flying in the sky of fate.
"Oh, what a propeller plane."
After sighting the target, Li Hai said with disappointment, and then reported the target situation, "A light propeller biplane, heading 270, altitude about 3,200 meters, no obvious markings on the fuselage..."
Li Hai flew around the target, observed carefully, and soon discovered the clues, "At the tower, there is suspected reconnaissance equipment mounted on the belly of the target aircraft. It should be a reconnaissance aircraft pretending to be stupid."
"Drive it away." Xue Zhengrong ordered decisively.
"clear!"
Li Hai slowly leaned over and saw more clearly. It was a tandem two-seater biplane. The person in the back seat was holding a telephoto camera and was staring at the approaching J-8FR No. 81101 with his mouth open.
, after coming back to his senses, he raised the camera and faced it and took a picture of "click click click".
"You have approached my airspace, adjust your heading to 90, and leave immediately!" Li Hai issued an expulsion message on the international general communication channel, "If it is clear, shake the wings to show compliance!"
Facing the arrogant J-8FR, the biplane quickly shook its wings to show its understanding. The pilot said in broken English on the international communication channel: "We are a documentary crew and we are just shooting some material. There is no malicious intention."
"Leave immediately." Li Hai warned again.
I don’t care what you are shooting, not close to me. Besides, the flight plan was not reported in advance. What are your plans? Do you think I don’t know?
The biplane expressed its obedience but took no time to turn.
Li Hai got angry, turned on the afterburner and pointed the nose of the aircraft towards the biplane's path. The air flow bursting out from the two WP-13Ps and the wake of the fighter planes immediately enveloped the biplane. The pilot was shocked and tried his best to control the aircraft.
The plane stopped, and then it turned around in a panic.
"If I don't give you some color, you won't know how powerful I am."
Li Hai sneered, followed him, and "escorted" him fifty kilometers away before returning...
