Two fighter planes circled twice over the bombing point to confirm that the main buildings on the island had been destroyed by bombing.
So their flight mission can be considered completed.
The two fighter planes reorganized into formation and returned to their base.
There are a total of five consciousnesses on the two fighter planes, so the time spent chatting while returning home does not seem to be very long.
In the blink of an eye, they saw the southern coastline of the mainland and a piece of green land.
The combination of the deep blue of the sea and the green of the mainland is very beautiful and you will never tire of it.
Wang Yu kept talking to the back seat and said some useless words, while looking at the surrounding scenery.
But at this glance, he suddenly noticed that on the right hand side of the flight direction of the two fighter planes, that is, at the two o'clock direction, there seemed to be a faint line of black smoke rising into the sky - the black smoke was very thin and had no edges.
It's very obvious that the extra distance should exceed the visual distance, so if Wang Yu hadn't suddenly seen it and paid attention, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell it.
Eileen didn't warn her, so it must have been out of her direct observation range.
Wang Yu's fighter plane flies automatically, so he can turn his head and look intently in the direction just now.
Yes, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with his eyes. This was not his hallucination. There was indeed a column of smoke rising from the ground. It looked like something was burning.
Liu Lingxin saw that Wang Yu suddenly stopped talking, so she turned slightly and looked at the front seat, only to find Wang Yu who was looking attentively to the side of the flight direction.
"Um..." She didn't take the initiative to speak, but turned her head and looked in the same direction.
It's a pity that her eyesight is not very good, and she cannot see the dull black color that is not very obvious beyond the precise observation range.
After a moment, Wang Yu withdrew his gaze.
Then she asked: "What happened? I see you keep staring to one side. Is there anything suspicious?"
And her hand was already on the weapon safety lever, as if she thought something might be going on.
Wang Yu shook his head slightly: "I'm not sure, it's like a column of smoke."
"Pillar of smoke?" Liu Lingxin was stunned, "What's going on?"
"I don't know, I'll ask someone else."
He said to Luo Yu in the team channel: "Yin Lis, I want to ask you a favor."
"Please speak."
"Look at our two o'clock direction, very far away, is there a... smoke column there?"
When Luo Yu heard Wang Yu ask, she also turned her head and looked in the direction Wang Yu said - as a pilot, her eyesight was sufficient. At this time, she discovered the faint black hidden in the background of the sky.
Smoke and cloud.
"It seems to have risen from the ground." Luo Yu said in the channel, "It is far away from us and beyond the observation range of the robot girls. If it weren't for the obvious target due to the color difference, I probably wouldn't be able to see it clearly -
—But I’m sure it’s not an illusion.”
[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
"It seems like something is burning on the ground." Wang Yu frowned, "Let's take a detour and go have a look."
Luo Yu naturally would not object: "Do you want to report it to the base?"
"No, in this area that is not the core airspace of the empire, we have the power to adjust the route slightly." Wang Yu said, "I will make this matter clear in the mission report when I go back."<
/p>
"I understand, then prepare to turn right."
The two fighter planes tilted their fuselages simultaneously and began to keep the formation turning to the right.
Soon, they began to fly in the direction of the smoke column.
As the distance shortened, the smoke column became more and more obvious.
"It really does exist..." Liu Lingxin aimed her helmet at the pod's field of view and looked in the direction where the smoke column was rising. "Well, the distance is still a little short, and the pod's field of view is not very clear, but it's barely there.
It can be seen that the coast is burning..."
At this time, they also entered the direct observation range of the machine girl, so whether they were on Luo Yu's fighter plane or Wang Yu's fighter plane, the two machine girls simultaneously reported the situation of the smoke column to their partners. p>
"What?" Wang Yu was a little surprised, "A coastal village burned down?"
Irene sat on Wang Yu's helmet and nodded seriously, but she immediately realized that Wang Yu couldn't see her nod while sitting here, so she added: "Yes, and the burning of this village
It’s not an accident, I also found corpses piled up in various directions. The situation doesn’t look very optimistic.”
"Dead people?! And what do you mean the situation is not very happy..."
Just when Wang Yu frowned and asked, Liu Lingxin in the back seat let out an exclamation.
"Sir, look at the picture on the pod."
Wang Yu immediately pressed a few times on a screen in front of him to cut out the pod screen.
Then he felt his heart beat violently.
The picture on the pod pointed not at the village that was the main part of the burning, but next to the village, a temporary camp built by the empire's scientific researchers - at this time, the camp still existed, but the buildings inside were
It has turned into ruins, and from the black and white infrared imaging field of the pod, you can still see some "people" whose infrared heat signals have gradually become less obvious, as well as some things on the ground that have turned from white to black, like "stagnant water"
The same area.
"This..." He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"This seems to be the place we passed by when we set off before."
Liu Lingxin glanced at the flight path and whispered.
At this moment, Luo Yu's communication came: "Oh my God, what happened..."
Although she doesn't have a dedicated aiming pod, she can still judge the situation over there based on what the machine girl says.
"Don't guess yet." Wang Yu finally said, "Let's fly over and see what happened."
"...understand."
So the two fighter planes lowered their altitude slightly and continued to fly over the seaside village.
Soon, they completed their first leap and saw the scene below.
The entire village - including the imperial scientific research camp next to the village, has been turned into a hell on earth.
A tragedy happened here.
Just looking at it gives people a feeling of suffocation.
From the point of view, it seemed that someone came from the sea and carried out a wanton massacre in this place without any distinction. They broke into every house house by house, opened fire on the living people wantonly, and then killed the corpses.
They were dragged to empty land and piled up or thrown directly into the sea. The buildings were burned to the ground, and all the fishing boats parked on the coast of this fishing village were scuttled.
Now, the originally blue shallow waves have been turned into dark red waves by a large number of victims, filled with white foam, and washed up on the white beach in waves, leaving ugly twisted traces.
"There are no survivors..." Luo Yu's voice sounded on the channel, "Selena has confirmed it and has not seen any living creatures."
"It seems we have to accept the facts." Wang Yu took a deep breath, "Shortly after we flew from here, such a tragedy happened."
Liu Lingxin couldn't help but said: "We just flew over not long ago... wasn't it right under our noses..."
"Don't say these things that will make you feel unnecessary guilt." Wang Yu frowned and interrupted Liu Lingxin's words, "This tragedy happened after we left. No one expected that this would happen.
kind of thing."
"Well, you're right."
Liu Lingxin had no choice but to reply.
The two fighter planes flew low again, took photos of this place, and then broke away from the low flight and began to slowly increase their altitude. At the same time, Wang Yu began to contact the oasis base.
The nature of this matter is too bad and the situation is too serious. It must be reported to the base as soon as possible.
"Oasis Base, this is Polaris Squadron."
"Polaris Squadron, what's going on?"
"On our way back from the mission of destroying the pirate base, we found a special situation and needed to speak directly with the headquarters." Wang Yu tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, "The situation is urgent, please do it immediately."
The contact person at the base seemed to be shocked by Wang Yu's seriousness, and she immediately replied: "Okay, please change the frequency to xxx."
Wang Yu immediately transferred the frequency and contacted the base headquarters directly.
"Polaris Squadron, please report the situation."
"This is Polaris. On the way back from the mission, I discovered..."
Next, Wang Yu explained their findings in detail.
"Are you talking about the temporary camp set up by the imperial scientific research team on the beach?" There seemed to be a specialized liaison officer on the other side of the communication. He was silent for a moment after hearing Wang Yu's preliminary report. He seemed to be waiting for orders from the superiors of the base. After a while, he
Asked, "Based on the current situation, can you determine what happened?"
"Yes, we think we can judge and have completed the photo shooting." Wang Yu immediately reported his and Luo Yu's conjectures to the superior, "After visual observation, we judged that the seaside village and our research camp are
People should have been massacred and burned in an organized manner. We saw a large number of corpses, and the fire in the village did not look like a fire spreading, but more like it was ignited by humans."
"Are you sure of what you said?"
The other party's tone suddenly became serious - in fact, it was quite serious at the beginning, but now it is more serious. What Wang Yu said is undoubtedly a big deal: "As a soldier, you should know what will happen if you report false news."
Such consequences."
"Yes, I can confirm what I said." Wang Yu replied without hesitation, "My wingman and I both underwent routine physical examinations before takeoff. Our physical conditions were all normal, and we did not take any drugs that caused the disease."
hallucinogen drugs and other bad habits, so we can be sure that this is not a hallucination, but a real thing that has happened."
"..." The other party was silent for a moment, and then said, "Roger, Polaris, thank you for your hard work. Are you currently over the place where the incident occurred?"
"Yes, that's it."
"We will immediately send troops to your location. You can leave now. When you return to the base, someone will come to ask you about your specific situation and recover the image data you took. Please cooperate with their investigation."
"Received, Polaris Squadron is preparing to return to the base and end the call."
Wang Yu ended communication with the base.
Liu Lingxin said: "Hey, sir."
"What happened?"
"Tell me, why did this fishing village encounter something like this?"
"The truth is not difficult to imagine." Wang Yu sighed slightly, "Think about it, there are many people who don't want the empire to stand firm in this area, and now that oil and gas resources have been discovered in this sea area, they don't want to let the empire stand firm in this area.
The empire will have more people taking over this area safely."
"As for why we want to attack the ordinary people in this fishing village..."
Wang Yu's conversation was not conducted on his own frequency, so Luo Yu could also hear it. At this time, he added the right sentence, "It must be just to conceal his true purpose."
"Researchers from the empire?" Liu Lingxin immediately thought of the camp with the fishing village.
"I guess so." Wang Yu nodded.
So the channel went silent.
…………
"What did you say? Miserable?!"
Lieutenant General Deng slammed the cup on the table, making a crisp sound. Then he suddenly stood up and came to the map hanging in his office. His eyes quickly scanned the map, and then settled on a certain place on the seaside.
positions.
"Yes, sir." The person who reported the situation directly to him was the chief of staff of the base. "I was present when the Polaris Squadron reported to the superiors just now, and then I heard their direct report - the two personnel of the Polaris Squadron who were responsible for carrying out the mission this time.
None of the pilots had any bad records, so they couldn't report false information."
Lieutenant General Deng did not speak, but continued to stare at the position on the map.
But the chief of staff carefully discovered that Lieutenant General Deng's hand was shaking slightly.
After a moment, his hand hit the map heavily.
"Have our people set off?"
he asked.
"Two marines have already set off by helicopter, and another squadron is also preparing to take off to check the situation nearby." The chief of staff immediately reported, "This matter is of great importance. Do I need to report it to the country?"
"After confirming the situation, go up based on the actual information."
Lieutenant General Deng took a deep breath: "Where are the two Polaris pilots now?"
"They are still on their way back and should return to the base soon." The chief of staff thought for a while and said.
"Come to see me immediately after they land." Lieutenant General Deng said immediately.
"Yes." The chief of staff nodded.
"Wait a minute, and..." Lieutenant General Deng looked at the well-marked areas, and his tone was as cold as winter: "Let our intelligence department find out who dared to do this under the eyes of the empire.
After finding out the matter, report it directly to me. Since the country has asked me to be directly responsible for the affairs of this oasis, I will handle it in my own way..."
He punched the map hard: "The empire has been developing here, but some people regard this as our weakness - we have to let them know that the empire's anger is not something they can afford."<
