At the same time that Fan Wuzhi and others gathered at Lingshui Airport to watch the cracking of the US EP-3 reconnaissance plane, the crew members of the original EP-3 reconnaissance plane, who had returned to the United States, were being investigated by the military's special investigation team.
Captain Shane, captain of the EP-3E reconnaissance plane of the US Navy that made a forced landing at Lingshui Airport in Hainan Province, and Captain Shane of the Navy. Osborne described the situation in detail to the military.
On 1 April, after the US EP-3E reconnaissance plane collided with the Chinese Jian-8 fighter over Chinese waters, the Jian-8 quickly fell, and the EP-3E was also heavily damaged and fell rapidly. Osborne called through the broadcast system to 'activate the emergency destruction plan, prepare for the forced landing, and prepare for the entire crew to parachute.'
There was chaos in the cabin, and the operators and technicians were busy packing up their confidential information. Lieutenant Comerford collected it and put it in the classified box. John is also responsible for eliminating all classified digital information, and then he will follow the crash landing procedure and smash all the computers with a fire axe.
The last item in the program is to throw the confidential information box and the smashed computer through the right hatch, the reconnaissance plane at that time has already flown to the open sea, and after the secret box is thrown out, it will sink into the sea, and all the classified information written will quickly dissolve.
At this time, when the plane falls sharply after the collision, and may stall, if this happens, it is necessary to let the crew out as soon as possible and then crash the plane yourself. But Shane. Osborne knew that his only hope of survival was to find an airport to land, no matter where he was from.
Now that the emergency destruction plan has been initiated, it is not in a state of war at this time, and if the plane and crew can be saved, there is naturally no need to die in vain.
So Shane. Osborne called the navigator with the broadcast system and gave him a bearing, and he needed a bearing where he could land immediately.
The navigator replied that it was about 290 degrees, and that the direction in which they had recovered after the descent was about 270 degrees to the west, and that as long as they turned the nose of the plane about 20 degrees, they were heading towards the Lingshui military airfield on Hainan Island, China.
Shane. Osborne identified himself by calling the Lingshui military airfield on an international emergency frequency, and the KR-919 emergency call for help, a badly damaged plane about seventy nautical miles southeast of Hainan Island, asked for permission to make an emergency landing.
Amid the roar of the engines and the noise of the strong air currents, he could not hear an answer, and when he called again, he still could not hear an answer.
At that time, the rear cabin was a mess, Shane. Osborne put the co-pilot at the helm and got up to put on his parachute diving gear, he had already ordered everyone to prepare for the parachute, and if he himself did not wear a parachute, it would affect the psychology of the crew members.
When he switched back to the position with the co-pilot, put on headphones, took over the control of the joystick, and called Lingshui Airport directly through the emergency frequency, he felt the pressure on the fuselage change, and knew that the crew had opened the right hatch to discard confidential information.
They threw the black, flat computers one by one into the strong wind, and they were immediately blown away like dead leaves and plunged into the open sea, and all the items on the emergency destruction list had been disposed of.
Finally, the cyan ridge on Hainan Island appeared in a thick fog ahead.
Shane. Osborne was in charge of piloting the plane, and the co-pilot turned on the radio, and he said twice in a slow, clear voice, Lingshui, KR-919 requested an emergency landing, which was a badly damaged plane, about five miles south of Hainan, and had to make an emergency landing.
However, the other party still did not answer, and they still had to hover for a while before finding the location of Lingshui Airport. Unfortunately, they did not carry a detailed approach map of the airport, otherwise they would have been able to find out the direction of landing, the length of the runway, the communication frequency of the tower, and the navigation aids at Lingshui Airport.
In general, they usually carry a chart of arrivals from the major airports in the area.
After they circled slowly for a few minutes, they finally saw the airfield, and when they flew over the airfield at about seven hundred feet, there were no planes and vehicles on the runway, and there were no warplanes in the air. Osborne saw a row of open-air cabins on the right, and a J-8 fighter was parked in each cabin.
Due to the broken nose, the landing gear was lowered louder than usual.
But from the moment of the collision, there has always been Shane. The fear in Osborne's heart was finally relieved, because he knew that they could survive.
Because he couldn't talk to the tower, Shane. Osborne had no way of knowing the wind speed, and there were no signs on either side of the runway indicating the length of the runway. However, since it is a J-8 base, it should be long enough for them to descend.
Shane. Osborne prepared to land in a manner similar to the Tomcat landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier, with the wide concrete runway just below them, and he slowly pulled the joystick back, slowing down.
The large plane landed gently, landing so beautifully that they could barely feel the vibration of the landing gear touching the ground, and when the screams and cheers of the crew behind them were heard, Shane Brown. Osborne breathed a sigh of relief. But the next thought shocked him, although they are still alive, they are now in China.
The U.S. Joint Investigation Team for Shane. Although it was said that because of his decision, the technical information of the EP-3 reconnaissance plane might be leaked, but his move saved 24 crew members, which is a very remarkable thing in the United States, which advocates human rights. All the crew members of the EP-3 reconnaissance aircraft headed by Osborne should be awarded the title of hero.
But how to get back the damaged EP-3 reconnaissance aircraft as soon as possible also gave them a lot of headaches.
After all, now the initiative is not in the hands of the Americans, but in the hands of the Chinese who controlled the EP-3 reconnaissance plane that made a forced landing at Lingshui Airport, and even in the agreement reached between the White House and the Chinese side, the transport of the EP-3 reconnaissance plane must be Russian, which makes the US military, which has always had no opponent near the Pacific Rim, feel very frustrated, but unable to do anything.
In order to prevent more information from leaking, the military suggested that a team be sent to Lingshui Airport to take charge of the dismantling work in order to prevent the Chinese from continuing to crack the aircraft.
"I'm afraid that this request will not be accepted by the Chinese side-" US Ambassador to China Prueher, the former US admiral said, "the Chinese have always been very concerned about territorial airspace and territorial waters, and it is impossible to let the US military board the Lingshui airport. ”
This retired admiral used to be the commander of the US Pacific Command during the Taiwan Strait crisis, experienced the most thrilling days of that period, and then served as the Clinton administration's ambassador to China, and he also has a relatively deep understanding of China, so his words carry a lot of weight.
In the end, the military and the State Department came up with an opinion that Lockheed Martin, the manufacturer of the EP-3 reconnaissance plane, should send technicians to Lingshui Airport to disassemble the plane, and by the way, monitor that these parts would not be cracked by the Chinese side.
The Chinese side immediately agreed to this request, but there were some other requirements, that is, Lingshui Airport itself is a military airport, which involves a lot of secrecy facilities, so the Chinese side needs a certain amount of time to deal with it.
"So how long will it take for Lockheed Martin technicians to be allowed in?" Prueher was also a little helpless about this, and could only ask the Chinese side for a timetable.
"It will take about a week, and there are a lot of J-8 fighters that need to be kept secret." The Chinese side replied.
Prueher's eyes rolled after hearing this, and he said that you J-8 fighters, old-fashioned technology, still need to be kept secret from us Americans?! With that kind of technology in front of us, not many people will look at it twice!
However, there is naturally no way to say such a thing, and he can only urge the Chinese side to allow Lockheed Martin technicians to land at Lingshui Airport as soon as possible, so as to return the property of the US military as soon as possible.
The cracking work of Lingshui Airport, with the full cooperation of everyone, has finally made a breakthrough.
After cracking the crack, the Chinese side now knows all the signal frequencies of the EP-3 reconnaissance plane, has figured out the operating band of the receiver, and has exposed the secret communication frequencies used by the United States.
The tuners are able to track changes in frequency-hopping radio frequencies, and a technical analysis of the tuners will reveal their instantaneous bandwidths, the range of frequencies that the tuners are capable of tracking, and with this data in hand, Chinese engineers can design radios with frequencies beyond the processing power of these tuners.
Another important takeaway is the identification of antenna groups and new radios, some of which enable the EP-3 to connect to tactical data networks used by fighters, such as the Link-16, such as the Tactical Reconnaissance Information Exchange System.
The second is to basically sort out the latest anti-jamming UHF communication system, ARC-187 replaces the ARC-156, which is considered obsolete, and the communication between the United States and its allies will be mastered by the Chinese side.
We basically know the range and power of the latest emission source area of the EP-3 of the same type, and the different physical characteristics of the intercepted target at different distances.
Another unexpected discovery is that US military planes can activate mobile phones that have been turned off, which is a very important discovery.
Because once some important meetings are held, US military planes can completely activate the mobile phones of the participants through listening devices and eavesdrop on the conversations of the meeting through their mobile phones, so when this situation was discovered, the Central Military Commission immediately ordered the entire military to not carry mobile phones or take out their batteries when holding important meetings from now on, so as to prevent the signal from being captured by the Americans.
After learning about this situation, Fan Wuxian immediately called his mobile phone R&D department and asked them to thoroughly check whether this functional module existed in the underlying chip in order to make corresponding modifications.
