If Zheng Quanli was a little worried about the Jian-8 II fighter that replaced the Su-27 and cruised on the island, then Valenrio was gloating.

Nowadays, the drills of a certain big country in the East have reached this point, and anyone with some military common sense will know that this is to consolidate the air supremacy of the islands and expand the superiority as much as possible.

If it were the Soviet Union or a foreign power, Valenio would not have said a word of nonsense, and would have quietly appreciated the different styles of air combat methods of the two superpowers in front of the surveillance equipment.

But the problem is that in front of him is a certain big country in the East that is seriously backward in air power, and it actually wants to stage a campaign that only a superpower can complete, Valenrio really doesn't know what to say, pretentious or immeasurable?

"It's self-righteous!"

With the early morning sun, a middle-aged blonde man in a navy uniform held a coffee, listened to Valenrio's somewhat tangled self-talk, and answered with a smile, Valenio was stunned for a moment, but before he could say anything, he saw the middle-aged officer take a sip of coffee in the cup, and ordered twice on the operating table with his other hand: "Come, listen to this, you will know why I said that." ”

As soon as the words fell, Valenrio's ears heard a burst of Chinese with a northern accent, and he immediately frowned, but the next moment the simultaneous interpretation of English poured into his ears:

"Your mission is to hold out over the range island for 72 hours and control the air as much as possible......"

Hearing this, Valenrio's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the surveillance screen in front of him in disbelief, and then looked at the middle-aged officer beside him, and couldn't help but blurt out: "People from a big country in the East are crazy, and they want to rely on a plane like Jian-8 II to hold out for 72 hours?"

"At first, I thought so, so after intercepting the call before dawn, I was judging whether it was true or false, and as a result, several J-8 II. came to replace the Su-27 at dawn and began to patrol over the shooting range island. ”

The middle-aged officer held coffee in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, and slowly said as if he was talking about homely: "Of course, if it's just like this, it's nothing, no matter how bad the performance of the J-8 II is, as long as the number is enough and the airport is close enough to the coast, it can still be satisfied, but ...... You see......"

The middle-aged officer said and knocked on the console a few times, and then a detailed map of the air force exercise of a certain eastern country in eastern Zhejiang appeared in front of Valenrio's eyes, Valenio only glanced at it and exclaimed: "The airport is so far away!"

Yes, this time, a certain eastern country did not use the first-line airfields along the coast, but the second-tier airfields in the interior.

In this way, the closest distance between the shooting range island and the inland airfield is also 800 kilometers, which is nothing for heavy fighters such as the Su-27 with a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, but it is not friendly to the J-8 II, because the combat radius of this domestic high-altitude and high-speed fighter is only 800 kilometers.

In other words, the J-8 II took off from the second-tier airport and arrived at the shooting range island with a maximum of half an hour of cruising time before returning home, and this was still the case when the J-8 II landed at the first-line airport along the coast of eastern Zhejiang.

If you go back the way you came, the cruise time on Range Island will be no more than five minutes at best.

This is still a simple cruise, if you add some combat factors, the fuel consumption of the engine will increase exponentially, and the aging of the J-8 II can be exhausted in a blink of an eye.

Of course, even if there is no battle, if you just cruise, whether it is half an hour or five minutes, it is far from 72 hours, after all, during this time, the Su-27 may not even return to the base, plus trimming, checking, re-hanging bombs, it will take more than half an hour to take off and rush to the battlefield at the earliest, so that there will be a vacuum on the shooting range island for more than an hour.

If this were on a real battlefield, an hour-long airspace vacuum would obviously be fatal to the waiting forces who have just landed on the island and have not yet fully established themselves.

Realizing this, Valenrio looked at the middle-aged officer beside him: "Lieutenant Colonel Temer, I believe that a certain big country in the East should not be so stupid, I have suffered more than once in the past 48 hours to despise them. ”

Temer didn't speak this time, but quietly looked at Valenio with coffee for half a minute, and then the corners of his mouth moved twice, revealing a noncommittal smile, and shrugged: "My dear Lieutenant Colonel Valenrio, you have been away from the Navy for too long, so this time you can feel the difference between the regular army and the coast guard." ”

Hearing this, Valenrio's face darkened at that time.

He was a kind reminder, after all, he was still vividly slapped in the face during the previous rescue operations, and he didn't want the regular navy to repeat his responsibility.

Yes, at this moment, Valenrio is not on the Rush, which is preparing to visit the Yangtze River Delta, but on the Navy's observation and survey ship "Octopus".

In order to facilitate coordination and docking, Valenio was transferred to the "Octopus" by his superiors, and at 5 o'clock in the morning, the Navy's "Sea Hawk" helicopter borrowed Valenrio from the Rush and arrived at the "Octopus" at 5:45 a.m.

As a result, it didn't take an hour to come, and he hadn't even fully explained the situation of last night's tracking, and his kind reminder was exchanged for the other party's cynicism, and it was strange that Valenio could be happy.

Temer didn't see the black-faced Valenriot Quan, and if he sneered at a certain eastern power practicing 72-hour air supremacy over the landing islands, he was even more disdainful of the capabilities of coast guards like Valenrio.

A police department dedicated to rescue is just like that, even if it has some ability, it is not normal to be slapped in the face by someone by the neck.

It's like a lightweight boxing champion going to a heavyweight player like Tyson to fight to the death, no matter how awesome the lightweight boxing champion is in his own one-acre three-point land, and encountering a heavyweight monster at his peak - Tyson, it is also the life of being picked up and beaten.

So Temer didn't think Valenglio's words were much referential, and he believed more in what the Octopus under his command saw and heard.

It is precisely because of this that he doesn't think that a certain big country in the East has any backhand, could it be a large group of J-7 deployed on the coastal line?

Come on, the combat radius of this aircraft is not as good as that of the J-8 II.

Therefore, Temer felt that a certain big country in the East was just putting gold on his face, saying that it was for 72 hours of air supremacy, but in fact there was a lot of water in it.

But this is also normal, except for a few countries in the world, who can do it?

Just when Temer was drinking coffee by himself regardless of Valenrio's feelings, staring at the screen boredly and almost falling asleep, a steady and powerful Chinese voice suddenly came from the headphones: "01025 formation, please pay attention, the transport\fuel-15 is ready, please implement air refueling as planned!"

After the simultaneous interpretation, Temer's half-open and half-closed eyes immediately widened, waiting in disbelief for the corner of the surveillance screen.

......

At the same time, in an airspace off the coast of eastern Zhejiang, a new transport aircraft with a gray-white body and a shape similar to the Yun-15plus is maintaining a constant speed of cruise......
