The night sky was cold and dark, and the air was thin. The thick clouds below let through the light of the ground, and the sporadic light was connected in patches, looking like a fishing net made of jewelry. This super city in the thick fog is the Nanyang powder keg - the new eastern capital.

In the air defense command post of the new eastern capital, everyone was nervous. They have been given a confidential notice that there will be a terrorist attack against the joint observation ship at sea after dawn. However, the government air defense team needs to avoid suspicion, so it is not allowed to step out of the air defense circle for half a step, nor is it allowed to open fire, and is only responsible for the security of the capital.

The silence didn't last long.

"The 'top eye' captured 4 targets approaching and judged them to be fighters." The personnel of the air defense radar station were reporting to the command post via guò radio that "there is no answer to the identification of friend or foe, there is no answer to calls, marked with the code name 'monster'." Report complete. ”

"The N2 radar station reported that 4 fighters were spotted heading south, in direction 90 and at a distance of 60. After 20 minutes entered the air defense circle. "There was a lot of noise on the radio.

In front of the commander on duty, the position and course of the four fighters were marked with four yellow dots of light on a huge electronic map.

"The control centers of the air defense teams confirmed that it was not clear whether the target was our aircraft." The commander gives orders to the other operators via the microphone.

The operator replied: "The districts have been confirmed, not the aircraft under their jurisdiction." ”

"Attention of all departments, intercept immediately."

"The air defense team of the northern sector began to intercept. The first contact was the 2nd Squadron 1st Squad, 4 J-31SG, codenamed 'Greyhound', 4 minutes later. ”

In the night sky, the icy air rubbed against the iron wings, and four gray-black J-31SG "Eagle Eagle" fighters were climbing with afterburner. As the main air defense fighter of the new Eastern Capital, the J-31SG adopts a full stealth design to ensure that it has the upper hand in long-range interception; The OVT variable vector spout can completely overwhelm the opponent in close combat. This is the most comprehensive fighter in the South Seas.

The four J-31SGs are lined up in a four-fingertip formation, and the formation is like the nail position of the four fingers from the index finger to the little finger, flying at high speed in a wedge-shape. Under the moonlight, the stealth absorbing coating on the surface of the fuselage shines with a blue glow.

"North District Guidance Station, this is the Greyhound, I've entered the position." The pilot of the J-31SG long aircraft called.

"Greyhound, you are guided by me." The North Sector Command Post replied, "Heading 280, keep the altitude unchanged." ”

"Understood."

"Greyhound, attention. Can't shoot; It is not possible to fight beyond the air defense circle. Enemy aircraft were spotted and identified. ”

"Understood."

The Greyhound squad leader pressed the right lever and pedaled the right rudder, and the aircraft yawed to the right, followed by three wingmen. The formation is like 4 black swords, slashing to the right, pulling out 4 white trails. Each of the two turbofan-13 "Tien Shan" engines spewed long flames, and the flames were stacked with nested Mach rings, propelling the aircraft to meet the attack with all its might.

This fighter squad is the trump card of the new eastern capital and the best equipped unit. With a knightly sense of superiority, they confidently pounced on their target.

The air defense command post was different, and there was a constant atmosphere of tension because of the prior notice.

"The monster is still heading south, and the call is unanswered. After 10 minutes entered the air defense circle. ”

On the map of the screen, the "monster" is still heading south as always, and the speed and altitude have not changed. The four green arrows representing the "Greyhound" at the bottom right point straight up.

"Greyhound, this is the North Command Station. Contact? ”

"No contact, please reconfirm the target altitude." The greyhound replied.

On the electronic map of the air defense command post, the distance between the greyhound and the monster is rapidly decreasing and will soon coincide.

In the course of conducting an air defense interception, although from the floor plan, the enemy and the enemy were very close. However, if the height difference is too large, it is also possible that the two sides will not be able to detect each other.

As the monster entered the air defense circle of the new eastern capital, warning red lights were lit everywhere in the command post, alarm bells were raised, and the ground-to-air missile units and antiaircraft artillery units in the northern area began to enter a state of imminent battle.

At this moment, the captain of the Greyhound squad suddenly called: "Visually contact the monster, please instruct." ”

"Judge the type and identity of the other party when you get closer."

"Well, it's 3 F-35s, I can't confirm, it could also be J-31s. The 4th unrecognized, canard. All 4 are stealth aircraft. The voice of the Greyhound squad leader was heard over the radio, and it was full of noise, "The other side made a sharp turn to the right, and the greyhound asked to fire." ”

"No firing is permitted, and their identity is ascertained. Repeat, no fire! ”

"Greyhound 2 reports, I'm locked in." "Captain, it's behind us. ", "I can't shake it off, I can't shake it off", "Greyhound 4, pay attention to dodge!" "It's behind you!" "Put the interference, put the interference!" "I can't see it anymore. ”

A flurry of radio communications sounded inside the air defense command post. The attendant was already sweating profusely: "Attention greyhound, don't fire, don't fire!" ”

In less than 3 minutes, a beeping sound sounded on the electronic map, and the 4 yellow arrows representing the "monsters" of the unidentified aircraft formation suddenly stopped, and then were marked with framed dotted lines instead. The four green arrows of the "Greyhound" continued their flight south over the "monster".

"The monster signal disappears, and the greyhound shoots down the monster." The operator replied,

"Something bad!" The air defense commander stood up, dumbfounded. He knew that things were broken, and the air defense team opened fire.

If it is a fighter of a neighboring country that is shot down, it means the outbreak of war. What's more, it is the eve of the sub-homogeneous joint ship observation ceremony, which is the most sensitive time.

The situation in the South China Sea is unstable, and the slightest disturbance may lead to war. Now that the air defense team has shot down a fighter of unknown origin, how can it be explained when the time comes.

"Greyhound! Why disobey orders? Return now! The commander was furious. If the pilot is in trouble, the commander is also jointly and severally liable.

"Greyhound! Answer, why disobey the order! The other party did not reply, which made the commander even more angry.

On the electronic map, the four green arrows of the gray dog have completely turned to the south and are gradually breaking away from the air defense circle of the new eastern capital.

"Report." The radar operator spoke, "We have lost contact with the Greyhounds. ”

At the same time, the green arrow on the electronic map turns gray, showing only the last location before the loss of tracking.

"What's going on?" The air defense commander wiped his sweat and thought to himself: Could it be that the Greyhound squad defected? It is impossible, the pilots of the air defense team are very political, and there is no sign or reason for defection. But what the hell is going on with them after shooting down the enemy plane, they immediately cut off contact and head south.

He sat down and looked at the electronic map: "The North District immediately starts a search and rescue!" The radar stations in each area paid attention to the monitoring and guided the greyhound to return home. "Now there is no way, the air defense circle has become a shackle for all fighter units, and they cannot cross the mine pool by half a step.

After completing the deployment, the air defense commander stepped down from the stage, and he immediately reported to his superiors.

There was an unusually tense atmosphere in the air defense command post, but it was surprisingly quiet, and even a pin could be heard.

The night sky of the new eastern capital also fell silent.

At this moment, on the western side of the sea, the aircraft carrier "Minsk" is sailing away from the new eastern capital and sailing towards the intended combat area.

"There is radar contact on the sea, and it is a fleet that has come to participate in the ship-watching ceremony. About to rendezvous with our ship. "The sea search radar operator reports.

Dapeng Tsai stood in the bridge of the navigation ship: "The fleets have arrived. ”

In the vast sea fog, the horizon was hazy, and several tall masts stretched out.

Inside the hangar, ground crews and sailors are working overtime to paint and put the finishing touches on the J-10ASV. The canteen was also moved to the hangar. Long tables are made of crates, covered with white tablecloths, and all kinds of meat and vegetable dishes, cold platters, fresh soups and hot porridges, vegetables and fruits are full, and tableware is everywhere. The staff was hungry and took two bites, and when they were tired, they took a nap on their stomachs, and people were busy. Some areas are quiet, while others are noisy. Some places are brightly lit, and some corners are made with makeshift beds.

The radio on the table was playing the news.

“…… In order to maintain the unity and stability of the sub-body and to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the South China Sea, all countries have sent capital ships to participate in the joint ...... of the sub-co-opter ship."

Hearing the announcement on the radio, a ground crew with an apple in his mouth walked over and turned up the volume. Others go on to eat or work, and people are constantly running back and forth in the distance, and the hangar is very busy.

“…… It was a friendly exchange and a communication of mutual trust. All of us, with our main fleets, come together and open ourselves to each other and remove barriers......"

At this time, the sailors who were resting began to gather and listen to the news reports.

“…… At present, the ships that are arriving are as follows: the frigate "Ottoman", the frigate "Abu-Bakar", the frigate "Ali-Haider", ......"

The sailors gathered more and more, and everyone pushed and shoved each other.

“…… Frigate Chao Nam, Bomb Pak Koon, Frigate Jabri, Frigate Saburi, Frigate Nalai Songen, Taksin Frigate, Supply Ship Similan ......"

The sailors in the front row began to lie down half-lying, but the people behind them were still gathering, and everyone was talking, "When is this going to be read?" I read it for ten minutes. "Don't make noise." "Don't make any noise!"

“…… The Mendisian Navy frigate Yongzhiya, the frigate Xinbixin, the frigate Jiangxituo, the Mahal? Bandura' frigate ......"

The radio was still broadcasting the ships participating in the ship-watching ceremony, and there was no intention of ending it.

At this time, the ground crew leader on duty came over, clapped his hands and said loudly: "If you want to rest, eat by the way!" Tomorrow is the decisive battle. The leaders of each group listen to the order! Start distributing food! ”

"Yes." At the sound of the order, everyone put the dishes on each plate on the table into the lunch box and began to distribute. Everyone listened while chewing. For a time, the cups and plates in the hangar were staggered.

"Eat more, it's not about traveling. The Great War is coming! Eat well! After the shift leader shouted here, he walked to the J-10ASV maintenance work area and continued to mobilize loudly: "Check every screw!" Be meticulous and don't be lazy. After a shift change, we went to the table to sweep! From now on, we will start working full and non-stop shifts, and we will be full! Fight! Eat one's fill! Fight. The enemy won't give us time to sleep! ”

At this moment, there was a commotion in the elevators and porthole openings, etc. Sailors and ground crews rushed away with all kinds of food in their mouths, and the atmosphere became tense and exciting.

"Look, everyone!" Someone on the side shouted, "It's the 2nd Expeditionary Detachment of the Central Continental Fleet, look!" That's the 'Glorious Liaoning'! ”

At this moment, the side corridors, flight decks, and bridges were all crowded with people.

In the distance, several huge black shadows rushed out of the sea fog. The first to bear the brunt of the missile destroyer "Glorious Kunming," which was lined up on all sides, and the sea was covered with warships on the inner and outer three floors. The huge figure in the center is the heavy aircraft carrier "Glorious Liaoning".

These ships all made great achievements in the First Sino-Japanese War, and after the war, the word "glorious" was added to the name of the meritorious warship.

Compared with this imposing aircraft carrier task force, the "Minsk" slipped by like a duckling. But this mercenary guerrilla aircraft carrier is small and modest, and everyone's heart is full of pride.

They know that tomorrow's grand ASM joint observation event is threatened by a terrorist attack, but in order to ensure mutual trust, no one can open fire.

And this small mercenary guerrilla aircraft carrier "Minsk", as an ownerless extralegal warship, holds the only right to fire tomorrow. The entire responsibility for nearly 100 capital warships of the 30 countries was assumed by the ship "Minsk".

Just then, a whining whistle sounded in the distance.

The Central Continental Fleet knew the existence and responsibility of the "Minsk", and at this moment sounded its horn in salute.

"Minsk" also whistled in response.

A deep whining sound resounded in all directions, and all the officers and men of the ship stood up and saluted the "Glorious Liaoning" in the distance.

Meng Zheng is standing in the bridge of the navigation ship at the moment, facing the familiar "Glorious Liaoning" with a lot of thoughts, there are too many memories left on that ship during the war, but now is not the time to sigh.

At this time, Dapeng Tsai walked over: "Uncle Shi, Jin Jiang Ji has returned to the New Pill Capital City Airport, and Xindi's accommodation has also been arranged." ”

Meng Zheng looked out the window and nodded: "This girl, you have to fight." ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Shi. Jin Jiangji is on the Eastern Front; We defend the Western Front. The defense is the weakest here on the Western Front, and it should be the first to encounter the Devils. ”

Because the "Minsk" aircraft carrier can land but not take off for Kane Ji's MiG-29K conventional take-off and landing fighters. Therefore, according to the proposed battle plan, Xinti used the Mi-26 to send the fighter and Kane Ji back to the Shinmaru Miyako airfield to the east for defense, and at the same time to defend the field from air raids; "Minsk" cruised in the west with a battered vertical take-off and landing J-10ASV.

One ship, one game, each other into a corner. This expands the defense area and supports each other when attacked.

If the "Oni" of the Owari Group wanted to attack the observer ship, they had to avoid the land-based air defense radars on the land in the north and south and adopt the means of sneak attack. Well, it's either coming from the east or from the west.

"Uncle Shi, let's go rest for a while." Dapeng said to Meng Strike.

He shook his head and watched as the "Glorious Liaoning" gradually moved away, and the entire fleet slowly disappeared into the sea fog. Then he turned around and said, "I'll go to the hangar again." ”

With that, he left the bridge of the navigation ship and went down the stairs.

After a while, a sailor rushed to the bridge in a hurry and saluted Dapeng Tsai: "Report!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"I just received a secret report that 4 J-31SGs of the new Dongdu government army defected and are now heading south at high speed."

This report shocked Dapeng Tsai's eyes wide, and he realized that the war had begun.
