The high seas of the Bay of Bengal are lively.

In the western waters of the high seas, all the capital ships of the First Fleet of the Eastern Union Navy sailed to the forefront of the confrontation with the Indian Navy's "Virat" aircraft carrier battle group.

In the southern waters leading to the Diego Garcia base, a US military base in the Indian Ocean, four WZ10H armed anti-submarine helicopters, together with a Tiangong Aegis-class missile destroyer with a board number of 106, fanned out to face the "Jack Wieson" frantically fleeing at the bottom of the sea, hanging its tail unhurriedly, obviously playing a game of cat and mouse.

In the southeastern waters of the Andaman Sea, the combined formation of the Singapore and Indonesian navies was overwhelmed by a sudden tsunami. After receiving the instructions of the American master, he did not dare to continue to advance towards the central waters of the Bay of Bengal.

In the sky, the J-15A and J-5 B2D of the East China Sea Air Force and Naval Aviation, and the F14 and F18 of the US Navy also launched a fierce air confrontation in the dog-toothed airspace.

North Andaman Island, the third base of the Eastern Union Naval Aviation.

Even though it was late at night, the entire base was brightly lit and people came and went. From time to time, various types of combat aircraft take off and land.

As an important forward base of the Eastern Union Navy's aviation, this 80-kilometer-long, 29-kilometer-wide, and nearly 1,376-square-kilometer island has long been under full military control. The indigenous people have largely moved to the south of the Greater Andaman Island. The town of Digripur in the east is now home to the base command.

At half past 10 o'clock in the evening, Major Jiao Weiyu, a special pilot of the Air Force who had just been transferred to the North Andaman Airport from a certain air base in the territory of the Eastern Union Union, hurriedly ate something to fill his stomach at the airport's officers' cafeteria while the ground crew was overhauling and refueling the fighters, and immediately rushed to the tactical command center of the base.

"Brother Yu, have you eaten?" Captain Li Jin, who was standing at the gate of the command center, greeted Jiao Weiyu with a smile. He is Jiao Weiyu's wingman partner.

"Eat some casually, Xiao Lizi, have our wives finished checking? What is the level of those ground crews? It's rare to catch up with the real actual combat this time, don't drop the chain!"

For Jiao Weiyu to always call his favorite J-15A heavy fighter "wife", Li Jin has long been surprised. "Don't worry, Brother Yu. The brothers who do ground staff here will not be worse than those brothers at our airport. ”

"Is there any latest battle briefing ahead?" Jiao Weiyu asked as he walked, holding a flying helmet in his right hand.

"Ten minutes ago, four light-duty J-15Bs took off from the flagship of the aircraft carrier 'Baron John Young' to join the air confrontation, basically ensuring the air superiority of our army in the Bay of Bengal. However, it is said that US military fighters also took off from the Diego Garcia base. There are more and more fighter planes taking off from both sides, and I wonder if we will definitely have a chance to compete with the US Air Force this time. ”

"It's a pity that you can't fire. Jiao Weiyu said a little depressed: "The biggest wish in this life is to be able to fly a fighter plane to fight the enemy in the air. ”

"I said Brother Yu. Don't be foolish. Li Jin smiled lightly: "I analyzed it before I came here, whether it is with the US Air Force or the Indian Air Force, the probability of a real fight this time is almost zero." At most, everyone is competing with the driving skills and formation tactics according to the actual combat mode, which can be regarded as a mutual investigation. If the Soviet Navy hadn't been dispatched, we might have had a chance to fight the U.S. Air Force, but right now, it's basically a widow who has lost her son. I didn't expect it!"

"In an aerial confrontation of this scale, who dares to guarantee that it will not go off!" Jiao Weiyu looked up at the stars in the night sky. Muttered to himself.

"Brother Yu, don't blame me for not reminding you, you must not have such thoughts, otherwise you will definitely make mistakes!" Li Jin's face turned stern, and he said: "Before I came, the political commissar repeatedly told us that the Führer is on the flagship of the fleet at the moment, and ensuring the safety of the Führer is the most important task." If we lead to a real air battle between the two sides because of our operational mistakes. The Führer will definitely be in a dangerous situation, and no one can afford this responsibility!"

Seeing Li Jin's incomparably strict appearance, Jiao Weiyu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so ignorant." I'm still waiting to make a good show in front of the Führer!"

A reminder to the ground partner. Of course, Jiao Weiyu knows it. Having the opportunity to fight the most powerful air force in the world, the U.S. Air Force, is certainly his greatest wish since he joined the military for more than 10 years. But this wish is so shallow compared to the safety of the great leader Yang Weiping.

Like the "mainstay plan" secretly carried out by the Huaxia Navy, the Huaxia Air Force also secretly engaged in a secret plan to borrow chickens to lay eggs.

Compared with the daily training of the army, the regular training subjects of the navy and the air force are simply a gold-swallowing monster.

China's reform and opening up has just achieved initial results, and it has always been shrinking its hands on military spending. In desperation, Navy Commander Liu Qinghua and Air Force Commander Wang Hai had no choice but to focus on Yang Weiping, the big financier.

The former North Burma People's Army Navy and Air Force, the predecessor of the Eastern Union Navy and Air Force, have always been crazy training standards regardless of cost, and Liu Qinghua and Wang Hai are not only envious, but also greedy.

Yang Weiping's semi-openly digging around the corners of the Huaxia military has always been a blind eye to the high-level officials in Huaxia. Based on this understanding, Liu Qinghua and Wang Hai respectively found Yang Weiping, discussed and formulated these two "commission training plans" that have far-reaching significance for the future Huaxia Navy and Air Force.

Jiao Weiyu and Li Jin are two outstanding pilots in the training program of the Huaxia Air Force.

Since coming to the North Burma Air Force for training in May 1980, Jiao Weiyu and Li Jin have always been partners. For more than three years, they have been training in various subjects in strict accordance with the training standards of the North Burma Air Force, and they have never had to worry about training wear and tear such as insufficient fuel, too much wear and tear on the aero engine, and too much waste of ammunition during domestic training in the past.

To paraphrase what Yang Weiping said: Since our air force flies world-class fighters, of course, it must have the world's first-class training standards, and as far as I am concerned, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

"Stand upright!"

The guard's loud shouting made Jiao Weiyu temporarily abandon the distracting thoughts in his heart and stand up straight at the same time as Li Jin.

A middle-aged officer dressed in the uniform of a colonel of the Eastern Union Naval Aviation strode up. He is none other than Colonel Liang Guoxiong, head of the Naval Aviation Regiment at the North Andaman Military Base.

"Hello chief!" Jiao Weiyu and Li Jin, together with the other air force pilots from the tactical center, stood up and saluted.

"Guys, time is urgent, so I won't talk nonsense. Liang Guoxiong raised his hand and returned a military salute, stood in the center of the room and said loudly: "The first flight squadron of Hainan Airlines, which was on a mission before, will soon reach a critical point in the air. Your mission is to take over the escort mission of the 1st Flying Squadron! Within 10 minutes, all personnel will be on board and ready to fly. If there is a new order, I will give it directly through the guò tower. ”

After Liang Guoxiong finished speaking, he turned around and left, and as soon as the others went out, the tactical command center immediately boiled.

"It's finally ordered! I can compete with the U.S. Navy's F14C!"

"Hahaha! I heard that the US Navy's F/A-18 is claimed to be the most awesome carrier-based aircraft among all countries! ”

Jiao Weiyu and Li Jin glanced at each other quite tacitly, and the two of them left the command center at the same time and strode towards the parking apron.

Five minutes later, Jiao Weiyu and Li Jin boarded two J-15A twin-engine single-seat heavy fighters numbered 601 and 603 respectively.

This is the most advanced multi-role air superiority fighter currently in the Eastern Union Air Force. Jiao Weiyu and Li Jin have been flying for more than 1,200 hours on their respective planes. When they were transferred from the mainland of the Eastern Union to the North Andaman base, their fighters were equipped with different types of missiles for sea attack and air combat. But now. The two J-15A were all equipped with anti-aircraft missiles. The other ten J-15A that were dragged out of the hangar one after another were also hung with anti-aircraft missiles.

With the assistance of the ground staff, Jiao Weiyu quickly completed the inspection before take-off, and finally stared at the fuel gauge. The internal fuel tanks are fully full, plus the three large auxiliary fuel tanks hanging on the inside of the wings and under the belly of the aircraft, and the combat radius can reach more than 1,800 kilometers according to the mode of carrying out anti-aircraft missions.

Twelve J-15 fighters of the same model were dragged to a standby position before take-off and stopped. The battery cart used to help the plane start on the ground did not leave. This means that the order to take off at any time may be received.

About ten minutes later, a large AWACS aircraft with a radome on its back drove out of the hangar. Dragged to the end of the runway by ground crew.

As the four high-bypass ratio turbofan engines of the Air Police 85 were started one by one, the early warning aircraft weighing more than 100 tons slowly accelerated on the 2,000-meter-long runway. Finally, when it was still more than 1,000 meters away from the end of the runway, it rose into the night sky like a black swan.

"601, 603, here is the tower, two-plane formation, leading the team to take off. ”

"Tower. 601 received, two-plane formation took off!"

"Tower, 603 received, two-plane formation takeoff!"

The two J-15A, numbered 601 and 603, piloted by Jiao Weiyu and Li Jin, started almost simultaneously with four high-thrust military turbofan engines. Four scorching blue flames erupted from the nozzle in the tail of the plane.

The fighter plane, which weighs more than 30 tons, is getting faster and faster on the runway like a sharp arrow from a string, and it only glides more than 400 meters at a speed of more than 350 kilometers per hour.

The front wheels of the two J-15A broke away from the ground at the same time, like two gray lightning bolts, and shot into the starry night sky.

Immediately behind 601 and 603, the other ten J-15A soon formed a two-plane formation and took off one after another.

"601, this is the tower, go to channel 3 and take command from the air command center. ”

"601 received, transferred to channel 3, and accepted the command of the air command center. Jiao Weiyu replied through the communication device that came with the guò flight helmet, and stretched out his hand to adjust the communication channel.

While the fighter plane was still climbing, as the wingman 603, Li Jin told him in the combat communication channel: "Brother Yu, remember to stay calm, without an order, you must not fire without authorization." ”

"Anla! brother knows, don't worry!" Jiao Weiyu replied with a smile.

After a while, the twelve Jian-15A heavy fighters were reorganized into four zigzag formations, and the 601 plane piloted by Jiao Weiyu was not only the chief plane of this formation, but also the chief plane of the four formations.

Following the early warning aircraft leading in front of him to fly westward in the vast night sky, Jiao Weiyu's originally excited mood gradually calmed down.

After flying out of the waters of the Andaman Sea, the AWACS aircraft received an order: "601, here is the air command center, now change the code, repeat, now change the code." ”

"Air command center, I'm 601, received a new directive, repeat, received a new directive. ”

"Codename 'Destroyer' No. 1?" Jiao Weiyu muttered to himself, "Is it just to drive away the US fighter planes like flies?"

While muttering to himself, Jiao Weiyu manually checked the electronic equipment on the plane again, and turned on the simulated operation of the radar to make sure that the main equipment of the airborne radar was in normal working condition. (To be continued......) I1292
