Even if the Ghost Squadron has destroyed the medium-range ballistic missiles that Asia planned to use to attack the coalition forces, the mission cannot be considered completed as long as they have not withdrawn to a safe area.
At this time, due to the long period of high concentration to perform the mission, the members of the Ghost Squadron have entered the fatigue stage - whether it is physical or mental, the combat intensity of the entire squadron is naturally not as good as when they first started the mission.
compared to.
In addition to the fatigue of the members of the Ghost Squadron, of course there is also the lack of condition of the fighter planes - in the previous operations, they consumed a lot of fuel and ammunition, and the fighter planes also suffered more or less damage, which is no longer allowed at this time.
They're doing some extra high-intensity fighting.
Luo Yu and Murong Lan were okay, at least they still maintained a certain level of combat effectiveness, but Wang Yu was completely out of ammunition and food.
In terms of weapons, the missile pylons on the fighter planes are currently empty, and the only weapons on the entire aircraft are a few cannons; and the fuel aspect is even more stressful. As the three fighter planes of the Ghost Squadron leave the mission area at high speed, Wang Yu
Just watching the remaining fuel of his fighter plane continue to decrease, there is not much left. It is obvious that the remaining fuel may support him to withdraw from Asia's controlled airspace, but it is definitely not enough to support him to return to the base of departure.
Now Wang Yu is already thinking about where he should land after withdrawing from Asia's airspace.
A journey of 100 miles is half a mile. The closer to the end of the task, the greater the pressure it will bring. On the contrary, the last part of the task will become the most difficult part.
Asia's current air defense network is full of loopholes, allowing the Ghost Squadron to withdraw at high speed regardless of the pressure of ground air defense - at this time, it doesn't matter if it is not discovered, as long as it ensures that it does not enter the air defense firepower network that is still in operation in Asia.
, then everything is fine.
The members of the Ghost Squadron quickly discussed the nearest flight route, and then flew at an elevated altitude to reduce fuel consumption.
But in addition to the enemy's air defense, Asia's air force is also a more serious threat.
Fortunately, in order to cooperate with the actions of the Ghost Squadron, the coalition forces launched a large-scale air raid on the mainland of Asia in the north. This air strike attracted the attention of several air force bases in the west of Asia, and a large number of Asia fighter planes and coalition pilots
Fighting in the skies over the border area, the coalition forces seemed to ignore losses and sent more and more fighter planes to the battlefield, causing the air battle between the two sides to be inextricable for a while, and the scene was extremely anxious.
The air strike launched by the coalition forces started before the Ghost Squadron arrived in the mission airspace.
So when the Ghost Squadron was performing its mission, Asia's air force had no time to take care of them.
As the air battle between the two sides intensified, when the Ghost Squadron successfully ended its air strike mission and began to withdraw, Asia's air force commander also found that he had no available troops and could only send a small number of security forces to intercept.
And let the reserve fighters at the airport that are not ready for take-off get ready as soon as possible.
But the Ghost Squadron is now flying outside Asia's control area at high speed, and will soon leave their control area and rendezvous with friendly forces, so when these Asia's reserve fighters are ready and take off to intercept, Daylily will
It's cold.
However, for the Ghost Squadron, thanks to the cooperative fighting of the friendly forces, they were able to have smooth sailing during this last and most difficult phase of the evacuation process.
During the evacuation process, Wang Yu directly chose to give up any battle.
Luo Yu and Murong Lan took on the responsibility of fighting during the evacuation. However, considering that they did not have much ammunition and fuel left, they did not fight against a small number of Aisiya fighter planes.
The plan was to fight an all-out battle and shoot down all the enemy planes, but they just engaged in a simple battle with the enemy, forcing the enemy planes to temporarily avoid the edge and then quickly withdraw.
The three fighter planes just walked and fought, seemingly easily but in fact it was extremely difficult to leave the core airspace controlled by Asia.
Wang Yu, who ensured that the fighter plane was in normal condition at high altitude, only watched the terrain below change from mountains to hills, then from hills to plains, and finally a winding light-colored coastline and a vast ocean beyond the coastline.
Although they have not yet been able to leave Asia's airspace, the pressure they will face will be much less after leaving the core airspace.
There are fewer enemy planes pursuing them, and ground air defenses are no longer a threat.
"Are you in good condition?"
Luo Yu, who had just used tactics with Murong Lan to get rid of a group of Aisiya enemy planes, asked in the channel after making sure that there were no other hostile targets around.
"It's very bad. The fighter plane's fuel is completely insufficient." Wang Yu simply said about his situation: "When chasing the missile in the end, the full afterburner reduced the fuel directly to the warning line. Even if it was maintained at high altitude to save fuel, now it is only
It’s a very small amount.”
"We can lift the radio silence now." Luo Yu thought of a way: "I will call the tanker now. You can replenish fuel immediately after leaving Asia's airspace."
"I estimated that the remaining amount of fuel would not allow me to maintain level flight and then dock with the tanker."
Wang Yu glanced at the fuel gauge: "If I continue flying, I will probably run out of fuel soon after leaving Asia's airspace. Simply put, I will not be supported for aerial refueling, let alone flying to the nearest airport."
“What about reducing speed to reduce fuel consumption?”
"The same, there won't be much change." Wang Yu frowned: "The operating space is too small."
Luo Yu was silent for a moment, wondering what he was thinking about.
Wang Yu looked at the sea below: "I think the best thing for you to do now is to quickly contact the coalition rescue team. I am planning to make an emergency landing on the sea after leaving Asia's territorial waters. Fortunately, this fighter plane is still intact, and all systems
It’s still working normally.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If there is no other way, then this is the only way." Luo Yu sighed: "I will help you contact the coalition forces."
Then there was silence on her end, and it seemed that she had switched channels and was communicating with the coalition forces.
"Are there any small islands or similar places nearby?" Liu Lingxin asked, "If there are, we may not need to make an emergency landing on the sea."
"I didn't see it on the map." Wang Yu shook his head: "The continental shelf on Asia's side goes straight down after a certain distance from the coastline. After leaving their territorial waters, there is the deep sea. There are no small islands - and even if it is small,
On the island, it is really difficult to find flat terrain that can allow fighter planes to land safely."
"It seems like you have to take a bath in the sea..." Liu Lingxin complained.
"It's okay, it's not the first time I've been soaked in the sea." Wang Yu lowered the throttle slightly so that the fighter plane could fly farther with limited fuel remaining: "And this is not the first time that I have flown the fighter plane out of fuel.
, It’s a pity that this is the sea, and there is no small private airport for me to land.”
Only Irene understood what this meant. She suddenly realized that those experiences were already very distant memories.
As a result, the three fighter planes continued to leave Asia's airspace.
At this time, Asia no longer continued to pursue, and the threat from the enemy was greatly reduced.
Soon, Luo Yu ended the communication and returned to the team communication: "I have good news and bad news here. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Wang Yu was stunned: "Um...good news?"
"It's indeed good news. I just got in touch with the coalition forces and our military representatives here, and told them our situation, and then they told me a good thing - you may have a place to land.
"
The two people on the fighter plane here suddenly became energetic: "What should I say?"
"I have to tell you bad news." Luo Yu's tone was teasing: "The landing may be more difficult."
"Are you talking about difficulty now?" Wang Yu complained: "After we have conducted such a difficult mission?"
"Okay, here's the thing." Luo Yu explained the news she got: "A few days ago, an aircraft carrier battle group from the empire moved to the coast of Asia and is currently wandering on the high seas under the banner of observing the war.
——In short, none of this is important. What is important is that this fleet has just moved to the vicinity where we plan to withdraw from Asia's airspace."
Wang Yu: "..."
He seemed to understand what Luo Yu meant.
What is the nickname of an aircraft carrier? It is a "mobile airport on the sea".
Now there are planes that need to land here, and there is an airport on the sea, so doesn’t this just hit it off?
Although both the Silent Eagle and the Terminator are land-based fighter jets, exclusively for the Air Force, and do not have the ability to land on aircraft carriers, it is expedient that since there is a steel deck on the sea, it can be used to land the fighter jets instead of causing them to crash.
You can really give it a try if you go into the sea.
"It seems you already understand..." Luo Yu smiled.
"I understand, the difficulty is indeed not small." Wang Yu sighed: "How to say it specifically? You must know that I don't even have enough fuel to adjust the course at this time. Just flying out of Asia's airspace is the limit. If I still need to
It is impossible to persist in finding the position of an aircraft carrier and adjusting its direction on the vast sea."
"In fact, after I finished the call, our military personnel have already started to get in touch with the aircraft carrier formation." Luo Yu said: "So, during the last period of time when we fly out of Asia's airspace, the aircraft carrier formation will continue to
Move as close as possible to us, and aim at the landing deck without adjusting our course as much as possible - the key question now is, can we complete the landing on the aircraft carrier deck?"
"I remember our fighter planes all have tailhooks, right?" Wang Yu asked.
What he said is correct. Even land-based fighter jets are usually equipped with a tailhook. They are used in emergencies. Of course, this tailhook is not used for aircraft carrier arresting cables, but for land-based fighter jets.
A blocking rope is set up at the end of the airport's runway.
"The configuration is different, the posture is different, and the land-based tailhook cannot hook the aircraft carrier's arresting cable." Luo Yu objected.
"That's a bit troublesome." Wang Yu thought for a while: "Then let the aircraft carrier face the wind at full speed. How about we abandon the angled deck and use the full deck with more length for landing?"
"Maybe you can give it a try." Luo Yu said: "The people above just gave me a set of frequencies, and I will contact the aircraft carrier directly."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Wang Yu looked at the remaining fuel level of the fighter: "I plan to reduce the engine thrust, use a small amount of thrust and aerodynamic configuration, and carry out 'gliding' according to the altitude, so that when I finally land,
, I still have a certain amount of remaining fuel to control the engine thrust."
"You decide freely, and we will follow your maneuvers." Luo Yu replied: "Actually, we don't need to land on the aircraft carrier, but considering that there is no need to return to Orillia, we will go with you."
Luo Yu then began to contact the aircraft carrier, and Wang Yu also began to adjust the fighter aircraft according to the most fuel-efficient steps.
Lower the throttle to a position slightly higher than the idle position to ensure a small amount of thrust. At the same time, let the fighter lower its head and slowly dive downward at an angle of about 2.5 degrees to maintain speed. Adjust the operating stick so that the fighter can barely maintain a constant speed and
The most fuel-efficient flight.
Soon, Luo Yu finished contacting the aircraft carrier and then forwarded the message to others.
"At a distance of thirty nautical miles, we can approach directly, and the estimated landing course is 285, and we will report the visual sighting to the aircraft carrier when we are ten nautical miles away." She said: "The aircraft carrier conveniently said that they will clear the entire deck while maintaining thirty knots into the wind.
at full speed to allow us to complete the landing as much as possible. At the same time, they also said that they have prepared a rescue team..."
Wang Yu curled his lips.
"The Navy guys... don't seem to have confidence in our technology."
"Don't blame them." Luo Yu sighed: "After all, the Imperial Air Force has never used land-based fighters to land on aircraft carriers. Don't be too sure. It's really not easy. Be prepared to break the landing gear or rush out.
Prepare the deck."
"I will try my best to control the glide path as smoothly as possible and maintain a level glide that is about the same as the height of the aircraft carrier deck. It is best to land on the deck before the first arresting cable at the stern of the ship." Wang Yu said something to let the naval aviation personnel
It sounds like you will be stunned: "As for rushing out of the deck, it's up to fate, but we will at least parachute before rushing out of the deck, and then the parachute may be able to bring us to land smoothly on the deck..."
"It seems that you have sufficient plans..." Luo Yu was speechless: "Then, be prepared, it shouldn't be far away."
Soon, the Ghost Squadron completed the last leg of its voyage and left Asia's territorial waters.
In front of him was the vast open sea, but because Wang Yu traded altitude for flight, his altitude at this time was only about two thousand meters.
But at least there was some fuel left, but even so, he did not have the right to go around when landing.
Only one chance.
After flying for several more minutes, they obtained direct visual sight of the aircraft carrier battle group.
Therefore, Wang Yu contacted the aircraft carrier and prepared for an unprecedented "emergency landing".
