After a few minutes, the targets on the road turned into four burning wreckage.
Then Wang Yu circled back, lowered his altitude and returned to the target, and began to evaluate the attack effect.
None of the four smoke pillars deflected, and they all exploded on the target. Obviously, Liu Lingxin's skills were very good. Her hands were very steady, and the laser guidance could always accurately aim at the target, so that the bomb could always hit the target firmly.
The initiation.
Presumably, if these were not targets, but real enemies, they would not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed.
"Red maple, contact the early warning aircraft. Our training is over and we need to apply for return."
Wang Yu turned his head and said to his back seat while adjusting the attitude of the fighter plane.
"Okay, sir."
Liu Lingxin answered excitedly.
Then, while adjusting the radio, she muttered in a "soft voice" that might have been specially intended for Wang Yu to hear: "Well... I'm used to being called "sir" now, otherwise your code name will be 'sir'..." Wang Yu curled his lips: "..."
Codename: Sir?
I have never seen such an arrogant person.
When the time comes, the base leaders will come over to host the mission briefing meeting. In the end, who should call whom chief?
This sentence is probably because the girl is urging herself to come up with a code name...
After all, the identity information of the flying officer is now printed on the side of the cockpit of the fighter plane. Her name, military rank and code name are already there in her position, but Wang Yu only has the military rank and name here, and the code name in the middle is empty.
In fact, this is simply because it was difficult for him to name himself, so he was delaying it maliciously.
A moment later, Wang Yu heard the sound of her communicating with the early warning aircraft.
"Thunder (the call sign of the early warning aircraft), this is an F-15E fighter plane performing ground attack training. I am the weapon system controller, codenamed 'Red Maple'. This aircraft has completed training and requests to return to the base."
There are many members on the AWACS, and they are always waiting to deal with various matters, so after Liu Lingxin called once, their reply came immediately: "Received, approved to return."
Liu Lingxin immediately said to Wang Yu impatiently: "Okay, okay, the return flight has been approved, let's go back."
Wang Yuxu raised his eyes: "You seem to be in a hurry."
"Of course I'm anxious. The movie called "The King of Sky Hunters" was released today. Of course I have to go back and watch it quickly."
"Just that epic piece of shit?"
Wang Yu was suddenly stunned: "It requires acting but no acting, a plot but no plot, and it's a garbage movie that can't even be filmed with a real machine. As a weapons controller who flies in the air every day, isn't that what you're looking at?"
A kind of torture?"
Liu Lingxin seemed to have a very limited concept of this movie, so after Wang Yu finished speaking, she was stunned: "Eh?"
"Look at "Top Gun" filmed by the Asia Federation across the sea from us. Although the plot is nonsense, the F-14A is invincible and so on... but at least the actors were on a real plane and filmed for real. This is enough." Liu Lingxin was silent.
After a moment, she sighed exaggeratedly: "Hey~~ Well, after being disturbed like this by you, I don't seem to have much expectations anymore."
"Just don't have any expectations." Wang Yu smiled, "Isn't our training more interesting than in the movie?"
Under the control of Wang Yu, the F-15E rose to cruising altitude and flew in the direction of the base.
However, it seems that the superiors do not intend to let them return to the base just like this.
About five minutes after the fighter jet turned, radio communication started to sound again.
"F-15E, this is the early warning aircraft 'Thunder'."
The early warning aircraft had already informed Wang Yu that he could return to the base, but unexpectedly, he suddenly contacted them again.
Wang Yu shook his head. He personally contacted the early warning aircraft this time: "F-15E received, please speak to 'Thunder'."
As a result, the early warning aircraft directly said: "F-15E, report the remaining fuel level of the fighter."
What is this for...
Wang Yu lowered his head and glanced at the remaining fuel level: "The remaining fuel level is 6.1."
That’s six point one ton of fuel.
The F-15E, which has a conformal fuel tank, can carry more than ten tons of fuel and provide a range of more than two thousand nautical miles.
Therefore, during this training, even if the fighter aircraft did not carry any external auxiliary fuel tanks, it still had sufficient fuel remaining.
The intelligence officer on the AWACS thought for a moment and then replied: "6.1 tons, it seems that you still have plenty of fuel, which is good, because you will need to make a medium-to-long-distance flight next."
Wang Yu couldn't help but frowned: "Excuse me, what happened? Can't we return to the base already?"
"The matter of returning to the base has been postponed. Your superiors have assigned you a temporary mission." The intelligence officer's tone became serious. "I will now begin to convey the superiors' instructions. You and 'Red Maple' will fly to the southwestern part of the empire in a fighter plane."
Land at the Linchang Air Force Base and prepare to carry out a mission - there will be fuel and ammunition supplies for you, and there will also be a dedicated person briefing you on the mission."
Temporary task?
Assigned to us?
Liu Lingxin, who was sitting in the back seat, could naturally hear the words on the channel, so she couldn't help but show a surprised look.
Replenishing fuel and ammunition...is this a practical mission?
Wang Yu also immediately repeated the order: "The F-15E pilot received it and will repeat the order. The aircraft will divert to the Linchang Air Force Base and receive supplies and mission briefing after landing."
"The restatement is correct." The intelligence officer of the early warning aircraft then said, "Please receive the navigation information."
Wang Yu raised his hand and made a gesture to Liu Lingxin. The girl immediately adjusted one of the screens in front of her, and pressed her hand on the input panel next to it, preparing to start recording information.
"Linchang Air Force Base is located in the 240 direction of your current location, 360 nautical miles away, TACAN channel 49X, ILS signal is on channel 12, no automatic guidance system, contact frequency 235.00, specific coordinates..."
The intelligence officer of the early warning aircraft repeated this sentence twice, and Liu Lingxin, who acted quickly, also entered the coordinates into the fighter's navigation system, becoming a new temporary coordinate point.
However, the maximum HSI display range of the F-15E is only 160 nautical miles, so this coordinate point remains invisible on the screen, and only the general flight direction can be seen.
Looking at the navigation information displayed on the HUD, Wang Yu couldn't help but smacked his lips.
Good guy, three hundred and sixty nautical miles is really far away.
This translates to about more than 600 kilometers.
He did a little calculation in his mind and found out that the base was located far inland in the southern region. It should be an air force base in the south of the empire's core area, and some distance south of that air base was the South China Sea that stretched for hundreds of kilometers.
Ridge Mountains, as well as a huge anarchy area - yes, it is the mountain range where Wang Yu encountered the air pirate airport.
"F-15E, please confirm receipt of navigation information."
"The navigation information has been confirmed, the waypoint has been determined, and the remaining fuel is sufficient."
Wang Yu reported step by step, and at the same time began to adjust the flight direction: "Please tell us our specific flight route, and how high the airspace can we use?"
After all, we have to pass through the core area of the empire along the way. If we don’t ask clearly about the flight route, we will not know who to reason with if we are shot down by our own missiles.
As for the height, it is mainly to prevent the occurrence of air conflicts.
"You have obtained emergency authority. Please fly at an altitude above 13,000 meters. After ending the call, transfer to frequency 305.00 and contact the regional control where you are located. They will arrange your flight route."
It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders.
Even if Wang Yu has only become an official officer for less than three months.
Since it was a direct arrangement from his superiors, Wang Yu immediately replied: "Copy that, we're starting to fly towards the target base. Goodbye."
"I wish you success in your mission, and goodbye."
The early warning aircraft ended the communication just like that.
"Sir, what is going on?" Liu Lingxin asked curiously, "Do I understand?"
"Is there anything you don't understand about this... We have received a temporary mission. But as for why we are looking for pilots who are still in training, I also find it very strange." Wang Yu shook his head helplessly, "But
, there is no point in guessing these things now, we will understand when the fighter planes fly to their destination."
He looked at the time and saw that it was already afternoon and almost evening.
The sun also begins to set in the west.
Although good lighting can be maintained for now, the surrounding environment will soon become dim.
Liu Lingxin adjusted the navigation lights of the fighter plane, so the wings, tail and belly began to light up with flashing lights.
The jet black F-15E crossed the imperial airspace at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters and flew southwest.
