Neither the lead aircraft nor the wingman of the Blue Army noticed the fuel remaining problem.
Logically speaking, they would not make such a low-level mistake. However, after being beaten so hard by Li Hai, they all panicked. They were both embarrassed and ashamed. After gritting their teeth and completing the attack mission against the Red Army surface ship formation, at least they
I regained some confidence, and then I noticed, Oops, there’s not enough gas!
"Forget the Reef Tower, the Haidongqing two-plane formation is requesting an alternate landing. Repeat, we don't have enough fuel. Please make an alternate landing at your site." The lead aircraft of the Blue Army had to call the Forget Reef Airport according to the record.
This is the first time that the famous long-legged heavy-duty fighter jet has made an emergency landing due to insufficient fuel.
With a maximum combat range of 1,500 kilometers, the J-11B should not be short of fuel. However, this is the data when the fuel is fully loaded. None of the four J-11Bs took off with full fuel. Loading according to the specific requirements of the mission can remove excess fuel.
Weight helps the fighter's maneuverability.
The Blue Army just broke their heads and never imagined that they would be confused by two J-8Fs, and excessively consumed fuel during the confrontation. The fuel consumption rate of the fighter jets with afterburner turned on was a multiple of that without afterburner.
Frequent large overload maneuvers will undoubtedly aggravate this situation.
The remaining fuel at the moment can at most fly to Yongxingxing Airport. In this case, it is better to make an alternate landing at the nearby Forgotten Reef Airport, fill up with enough fuel, and then return to the main airport.
The combat staff on the tower guided two J-11Bs that were low on fuel to make an alternate landing. The remaining two J-11Bs were not low on fuel and had already turned around and returned home.
The situation of the pilots has also been reported. The leader of the Blue Army is Lin Xiaotong, the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the Haidong Youth League, and the wingman is the squadron leader of the 9th Squadron. They are both outstanding pilots in the Haidong Youth League.
In the absence of Xue Zhengrong, Li Hai had to come over to greet him. When Li Hai came, Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian naturally came over as well. Dang Weimin ran over and followed Li Yuanchao's maintenance team to prepare for the support of the two J-11Bs.
"Hello, Chief! Thank you for your hard work, Chief!"
Li Hai stepped forward to meet them, and stood at attention to salute the two Blue Army pilots who were walking side by side with flying helmets between their arms.
Lin Xiaotong was flattered by the word "chief", and he quickly returned the courtesy and said, "No, no, no, I am not the chief, Lin Xiaotong of the Third Brigade of Haidong Youth League!"
As he spoke, he saw clearly the military ranks of Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly saluted Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian, "Hello, Chief!"
Li Hai couldn't help but grin.
Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian came here to help their master. The Forgotten Reef Flying Squadron is the only flying group of the Eighth Hai Division that uses J-8 fighter jets as its main equipment. It is also the sea and air force, and it is also the last one in the Eighth Hai Division.
The flight group is also equipped with second-generation aircraft, second-generation and semi-fighter aircraft, two brigades of J-8Fs and one brigade of JH-7s. They are JH-7s, not JH-7A...
The other regiment is the Sea and Air Guards regiment of Wang Xiaowei, whom Li Hai once met on Eternal Prosperity Island. This regiment is so famous that it is generally regarded as the first-class main force of the Eighth Hai Division. The Haidong Youth Corps has been fighting with this regiment.
Compete for this position.
The Air and Sea Guards Regiment is a regiment with the most diverse equipment, including a squadron of J-8Fs, a brigade of J-10A, a brigade of JH-7A, and a squadron of J-11BS. There were also some in the past few years.
All J-7Gs were later withdrawn from active service, and the establishment was freed up to wait for the second-hand Su-30MKK from the Eastern Eagle Regiment.
The Haidong Youth Regiment is the only third-generation air force regiment, all equipped with J-11B fighter jets. It looks more like a first-class main regiment. In fact, from the organizational structure point of view, it is most likely that the Haidong Youth Regiment will be upgraded to an aviation brigade in the near future.
The Air Guard Regiment, look at its configuration, there are fighter jets and fighter bombers, it can be said to be complete.
In order to compete for this promotion qualification, the leader of the Haidong Youth League joined the prestigious Sea and Air Guards Corps.
Li Hai's temporary job in the Hai Kong Boys Group, despite its powerful nickname, is actually a fringe group of the Eighth Hai Division. They are the younger brothers who watch the two elder brothers arguing with each other in the corner...
Everyone knew about these internal relationships. Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian were worried that Li Hai would be suppressed by the tall and powerful "J-11B", so they followed him and used their military rank and level to help Li Hai.
Shi Shiran returned the gift, and Zhao Feiyan said with a smile, "Captain Lin, please don't be polite. The two of us are now ordinary pilots of the Forgotten Reef Flying Squadron. There is no leader."
Zhan Yuntian also smiled and nodded.
"We are all brothers, haha." Lin Xiaotong said with a smile. After exchanging a few words, he asked, "Where's Xue Da? I deliberately chose to divert to Forgettable Reef for selfish reasons. Xue Da's operation today was really slippery.
You must ask for advice.”
Several people were stunned, and suddenly remembered that Li Hai was flying Xue Zhengrong's plane, and they all understood. Zhan Yuntian was outspoken, pointed at Li Hai, and said, "Just ask our master, he flew the plane."
"Huh?" Lin Xiaotong and his wingman didn't understand and frowned.
Zhao Feiyan said with a smile, "Xue Da was unwell and went back to the rear for treatment some time ago. Comrade Li Hai is now in charge of the Forgotten Reef Airport and the Forgotten Reef Flying Squadron. Today, it is Comrade Li Hai who is flying Xue Da's plane to form the Red Army with Comrade Party Weimin.
The air cover formation participated in the exercise. At the same time, Comrade Li Hai is the master of the two of us."
This is clear enough.
Lin Xiaotong and his wingman both looked at Li Hai in surprise, and finally took a serious look at this simple-looking young pilot. He was really young. Most of the new recruits in the army now have the rank of captain. The military rank is not important, what is important is the whole person.
The feeling you give.
They are all veterans. There are too many details to distinguish who is a novice and who is a veteran. When Li Hai first arrived at the Fertile Land Naval Flight Training Base, he saw Zhu Wei, Shi Leilei, and Cao Fufei walking side by side along the taxiway, and he could tell from their
The behavior and behavior of the joystick are seen.
It's a feeling, a temperament.
Even Li Hai could see it, let alone an old bird like Lin Xiaotong.
"Did you break through our defense line and attack the attack formation? Are you...Li Hai?" Lin Xiaotong quickly recalled the entire confrontation process. It was not a tactical confrontation action that a new member could do.
Li Hai nodded with a smile, raised his head and said, "It's me, Li Hai."
The wingman suddenly pointed at Li Hai in surprise and said, "Are you Li Hai, the new pilot who flew back safely during a Category 12 typhoon some time ago and landed smoothly?"
"It's me." Li Hai said with a smile.
Lin Xiaotong put everything together in an instant, and looked at Li Hai with a different look. He took the initiative to hold Li Hai's right hand with both hands and shook it, "You are the awesome brother who was praised by the whole army! You are the awesome brother, I'm disrespectful."
Disrespectful! Disrespectful!”
On the contrary, Li Hai felt embarrassed and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's nothing, just basic operations."
His original intention was to be modest, but the result was that Lin Xiaotong and his wingman twitched their mouths. Oh my god, this is still a basic operation. Pilots all over the world have to go back to training for hundreds of years before they can fly an airplane again.
What Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian heard was another meaning, and they made eye contact.
Zhao Feiyan: Master’s slap in the face is a bit harsh.
Zhan Yuntian: It’s not just a slap in the face, it’s a slap in the face.
