Before night fell completely, the F-15E flew to Linchang Air Force Base.
Viewed from the air, the scale of this base is incomparable to that of the Shadao Base.
The entire base has only one runway, a small apron, several unenclosed hangars, a low tower that looks like a dwarf in the tower world, and a two-story building that serves as the headquarters.
.
After Wang Yu entered the control area, he kept in contact with the air force base according to the corresponding frequency.
They received permission to land directly.
The airport has turned on the runway lights, and two full-bright searchlights are illuminating the runway.
Even in the increasingly dark night, Wang Yu could still clearly see the direction of the runway.
The glideslope guide line on the HUD is actually an assist, and this landing is still a landing under visual rules.
The landing of Air Force aircraft is different from that of Hainan Airlines. It does not need to be trimmed to ON SPEED. As long as you hold the stick, control the speed and ensure the glide path during landing, the fighter aircraft will naturally be in the most suitable attack position for landing when landing.
angle.
The weather was clear and windless, and Wang Yu aimed straight at the center line of the runway.
Before landing, he noticed that there were two fighter planes waiting to take off in the waiting area of the runway, which made him sigh. It seemed that this small forest farm base was actually quite busy.
The fighter plane flew through the extension area and landed steadily between the two large white blocks in the touchdown area.
"No matter how many times I experience it, my dear, my gentle movements when landing in a fighter plane always make me feel very touched."
Irene's sweet and gentle voice sounded in Wang Yu's mind.
It seems that the machine soul is happy (bushi).
"Confirm landing, leave the runway via the nearest exit, and taxi to the apron."
The tower at the base told Wang Yu this.
Wang Yu replied that he had received it. At the same time, he adjusted the steering of the front wheels by stepping on the rudder. The fighter jet left the runway from the side and began to move along the taxiway toward the entrance to the apron.
At this moment, the two fighter planes waiting at the end of the runway finally entered the runway.
Accompanied by a loud sound of the jet engine speed increasing, the two fighters began to take off on the runway simultaneously.
When they landed before, Wang Yu didn't see too clearly, but as the two fighters accelerated on the runway and were about to pass by the F-15E on the taxiway, he finally saw the reality of the two fighters.
Appearance.
Both fighters are rare models - Su-37, Flanker-F.
The leading one is painted in light blue camouflage, and the one slightly behind by half a fuselage is painted in dark red.
Both fighters were equipped with live ammunition and were obviously going to perform certain combat missions.
At the moment when they passed each other, Wang Yu's sharp eyes caught a small mark printed on the side of the cockpit of the light blue Su-37 - a hollow five-pointed star.
This discovery surprised him.
In the Imperial Air Force, this mark represents the results of air-to-air combat.
According to regulations, if you have an air-to-air kill, you can paint one corner of a five-pointed star next to your fighter cockpit. When the five-pointed star is no longer incomplete, it means that the pilot has five verifiable kills.
Number.
In other words, pilots who can paint a complete five-pointed star on their fighter planes have a unique title.
ACE!
Translated, it refers to the ace pilot.
This is a title coveted by pilots,
It means that the pilot of this Su-37 has the title of ace.
Good guy, this forestry air force base doesn’t look big, but it’s actually full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
In the blink of an eye, the Su-37 roared past.
The two fighter planes raised their noses almost at the same time and took off at about the same moment.
The vector nozzle slightly adjusted the direction of the tail flame, allowing the two fighters to maintain an orderly formation and fly high into the sky.
Good technology.
This kind of synchronized takeoff operation is actually not difficult. What is difficult is to do it in an orderly manner and maintain a stable interval during the entire climb.
"Terminator...this thing is rare in the Imperial Air Force..."
Wang Yu heard Liu Lingxin's muttering.
It seemed that she was also attracted by these two fighter jets.
The F-15E came to the apron along the taxiway. Several ground personnel waved fluorescent sticks to guide Wang Yu to park the fighter in the corresponding area. As soon as the fighter stopped, they lowered the front landing gear.
Get on the wheel chock, then drive the fuel truck and ammunition truck next to it to the corresponding place and wait.
Ground personnel said that refueling and loading will take some time.
So Wang Yu shut down the engine, opened the canopy, and allowed Irene to disassociate herself from the fighter plane.
Speaking of which, this base gave Wang Yu a completely different feeling from Shadao Base.
At the Shadao base, every time Wang Yu finished a flight, his ground crew captain would talk to him.
After the ground crew leader has finished talking, the hangar guards and other entities he encounters will also greet him.
But these ground personnel here are different. They don't care where you come from, or who you use what to do. They only follow orders. The base tells them to load and refuel this fighter plane, so they won't.
Talkative.
So when Wang Yu and Liu Lingxin left the fighter plane, no one took the initiative to talk to them.
One by one, like robots, they silently started working around the fighter plane.
After a while, they were taken to the mission briefing room of the base by a noncommissioned officer.
In the briefing room, Wang Yu met the person in charge of this mission, a lieutenant colonel with no characteristics.
He will also be responsible for briefings.
This guy also looked businesslike. After Wang Yu and Liu Lingxin walked in, he nodded to them and told them to find a place to sit down. Then he opened the electronic file and projected a satellite image onto the screen.<
/p>
The clarity of this satellite image is pretty good. At least Wang Yu, who was sitting in the front row of the briefing room, could see the main part of it.
The satellite photo captures a road into the mountain. The specific location is on the last straight stretch of road at the mountain pass. The main subject of the photo is a fleet of vehicles distributed along a long strip on this road.
But...
Wang Yu squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that the convoy in the photo did not seem to be an ordinary convoy. The vehicles at the front and rear of the convoy had a square chassis, a round turret, and a gun barrel. This should be
It’s the legendary tank.
Good guy, a convoy with tanks...
"It seems like it's not just tanks..." Liu Lingxin whispered, "There is also an infantry fighting vehicle. The other remaining vehicles are also military pickup trucks. I don't know whether they are carrying soldiers or supplies."
The lieutenant colonel gave Wang Yu and Liu Lingxin time to observe. Then he cleared his throat and said in the same uncharacteristic voice: "Without further ado, let's start this mission briefing. First, I will briefly
Explain the nature of this mission. This is a ground attack mission. The target of the attack is the convoy you are seeing now. The mission requires you to completely destroy this convoy and leave no one alive. Likewise, this base will provide you with
Plenty of ammunition."
"Well, sir..." Wang Yu asked, "We would like to know more details."
"Of course, you will know." The lieutenant colonel switched to the next page, which was the background of the mission. "Let me tell you the identity of this convoy first. This is a warlord from the coastal area in the southern part of the mountain range.
According to our intelligence, the goods carried by this convoy are arms, mainly light weapons, and a large amount of drugs. We are still investigating the source of the goods, but this does not prevent us from taking the initiative to take them out.
Total destruction."
Wang Yu nodded, he could understand the reason for this mission.
The location of this convoy is not in the core area of the empire. It may be in a very remote place. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the empire to discover it, but once discovered, it will never tolerate this kind of arms and drug transportation. After all, that area can be regarded as the nominal territory of the empire.
If there is such a thing, it is natural to take the initiative to deal with it.
However, this temporary appointment is indeed not a training, but a real combat mission.
But a real bomb must be hung to send this convoy into the sky!
However, Wang Yu and Liu Lingxin still don't quite understand why this mission came to them.
The location of this forest farm base is separated from the Shadao base by a control zone. According to the regulations of the Imperial Air Force, there is absolutely no reason for pilots to perform cross-regional missions...
Not to mention that they are still pilots in training and should not be assigned any form of actual combat missions.
