"NG8773, you are now 21 nautical miles west of Rongcheng Airport. Please maintain the altitude, adjust the heading 090, I will now guide you to the take-off and landing course. The controller, who had witnessed the thrilling scene on the radar, replied with trepidation.

"Turn left to head 090, NG8773 understand!"

After receiving the command from the ground, Fang Yang turned on the autopilot, gently turned the knob, and set the course at 90. The huge passenger plane suddenly tilted to the left, cutting a beautiful arc in the black night sky. Fang Yang's eyes looked out of the dark window in distraction, but his mind was running at a high speed. He always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't remember which link was wrong for a while, so he kept frowning and didn't say a word.

Under the guidance of the controller, the plane slowly flew in the direction of Rongcheng Airport, and the flight altitude was also slowly reduced during the approach. Seeing that he was about to start landing, Fang Yang was always uneasy, and there was a lingering shadow at work in his heart, and he always felt that there was a fatal link that neither he nor the controller had considered.

The runway lights could already be faintly seen in front of him, but the uneasiness in Fang Yang's heart became more and more intense.

The anti-terrorism emergency headquarters, everyone stared at the NG8773 flight on the radar screen that was getting closer and closer to Yongle Airport, the atmosphere was tense and inexplicable, everyone held their breath and involuntarily clenched their fists.

The J-10 fighter successfully returned to the field and made a forced landing despite the damage to its wings. When the news came, the people in the command hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if anything happened to this fighter plane, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, it would be a result that no one could bear.

Photographs taken by the high-speed camera on board the fighter plane for this mission were quickly transmitted to the large screen in the command hall. In the dark night sky, the brightly lit giant passenger plane was presented in front of everyone, giving people an extremely shocking feeling.

In the photos, NG8773 is sailing smoothly in the night sky, but everyone knows that under the calm exterior, the cabin is in dire straits.

When a photo was played, Major General Liu Guoqiang, chief of staff of Group A Army, suddenly shouted:

"Stop! Enlarge this photo! ”

Liu Guoqiang pointed to a certain location on the photo. The technician quickly operated the computer and magnified the position. Everyone's eyes gathered, only to see a beautiful girl in the photo being pointed to the head by the hijackers at gunpoint, her face was pressed against the porthole, her eyes showed a look of despair, and the cruel smile on the robber's face was clearly visible.

A high-resolution reconnaissance camera recorded this qiē faithfully and clearly.

Liu Guoqiang gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the conference table, the anger in his eyes as if it was about to burn. This is the first time Liu Guoqiang has seen his daughter after losing contact with Liu Xinyao, but he didn't expect it to be such a heart-wrenching scene.

"Guoqiang, Xin Yao should be fine, there are no reports of casualties on the plane." Fang Hongda calmly patted Liu Guoqiang's shoulder, and then said, "Keep playing!" ”

The slideshow continues to scroll.

Fang Yang suddenly attacked, and the scene of continuously killing the robbers patrolling the front cabin and the thin and tall man was all filmed by the fighter jet from the porthole, and it was presented in front of everyone.

"It's him!" Fang Hongda and Liu Guoqiang exclaimed in unison.

"Guoqiang, do you know Fang Yang too?" Fang Hongda Daqi asked.

"Hmmm! Last time Qingya came to Banyan City...... It's the girl from the Xu family, something happened on the highway, and thanks to this young man who saved them! Liu Guoqiang nodded and said, "By the way, this time Xin Yao went to Sanya to attend an academic forum with Fang Yang and a professor from her school. ”

"I can't imagine this young man is so brave! Dare to stand up in this situation! Xin Yao's life was saved by him......" Liu Guoqiang then sighed and said, "If they can come back safely, I will thank him well!" ”

Fang Hongda thoughtfully stared at Fang Yang, who had an extremely standard shooting action in the photo, and said loudly:

"Show us an image of the cockpit after the bandits were charged!"

"Yes!" The staff simply agreed, and then quickly searched through the sea of photos.

Soon, a photo was presented in front of everyone, in which the posture of flight NG8773 became extremely weird, with the nose tilted upwards at a large angle, showing a large-angle climb in the night sky.

Without waiting for Fang Hongda's instructions, the staff quickly enlarged the picture, and everyone soon saw the scene in the cockpit, due to the problem of shooting angle, the photo could only see a young man in civilian clothes sitting on the captain's seat and trying to push the rod forward through the porthole.

But Fang Hongda and Liu Guoqiang both recognized it at a glance, this person who piloted the plane was still Fang Yang!

The two exchanged glances, and both read deep concern in each other's eyes. Especially Fang Hongda, he knows Fang Yang's situation, he knows that Fang Yang has never been exposed to even a day's flight training, the news that came before is that a flying enthusiast is controlling the plane, they still have illusions, hoping that at least this enthusiast has flown a small plane, and now it seems that the situation is worse than imagined.

Everyone present knew that on a modern airliner with an increasingly high automation range, a rookie who didn't know how to fly at all would be dizzy when he walked into the cockpit and faced thousands of instruments and buttons, let alone be able to fly the plane to land successfully, and it can be said that this possibility is infinitely close to zero.

But now the fact is that Fang Yang has taken over the plane for a long time, during which the plane has also experienced explosive loss of pressure, Fang Yang can quickly reduce the altitude immediately, and can also deal with it calmly and decisively when encountering the threat of hitting the mountain.

Could it be that Fang Yang is a genius?

Fang Hongda pondered for a moment and said:

"You guys get in touch, I'm going to talk directly to the cockpit!"

In the cockpit of flight NG8773, Fang Yang frowned while nervously monitoring the flight parameters, his mind was running rapidly, thinking about which link had not been considered. At this time, a voice suddenly came from the earphones:

"ng8773, the following is Secretary Fang Hongda of the Provincial Party Committee talking to you!"

When Fang Yang heard this, he hurriedly said:

"Hello Secretary Fang, I'm Fang Yang!"

On such an occasion, Fang Yang naturally did not have the convenience of calling Fang Hongda "Uncle Fang", he knew that almost all the relevant leaders on the ground must have arrived at this time.

"Fang Yang, how is the situation on the plane?" Fang Hongda didn't have time to be polite, and asked bluntly.

Fang Yang said succinctly:

"Secretary of the reporting party, the hijackers have all been arrested, and the current situation is that both pilots are seriously injured and unable to control the plane, there is a hole in the tail of the cabin, and the cabin has lost pressure, so it seems that it has little impact on the control of the plane at present."

Fang Hongda was slightly relieved when he heard this, and then asked:

"Fang Yang, are you sure about landing?"

Fang Yang was silent for a moment, then replied firmly:

"Secretary Fang, I have never been in contact with airplanes before, but I am more interested in flying, and I have been exposed to a large number of flight simulation games, and in Microsoft Flight Simulator, my landing success rate is 90%. But the game is just a game after all, and it is completely different from real flying. So, all I can say is that I will do my best to accomplish this impossible task! Because, there are 208 lives on the plane, and 208 families are looking forward to the safety of their loved ones! I had no choice but to do everything in my power to save these lives, to save myself! ”

All those who heard Fang Yang's words on the radio couldn't help but be moved, they knew that this young man in his early twenties was accomplishing a feat, and whether he succeeded in the end or not, he was destined to go down in history and become a hero!

Fang Hongda said emotionally:

"Fang Yang, I believe you can do it! The moment you land safely, I will personally set up a celebration banquet for you! Come on! ”

"Please rest assured, chief! Resolutely complete the mission! Infected by this kind of emotion, Fang Yang involuntarily straightened his chest and solemnly said this sentence that he often said in the army in his previous life, because at this moment, he was a soldier! Moreover, a lone hero!

The call was very short, because everyone didn't dare to disturb Fang Yang, for fear of interfering with his control of the plane.

The speed of the flight is getting lower and lower, and the glide path has begun to be built, and the runway is close at hand.

"Fang Yang, come on!" Fang Hongda's words of encouragement still echoed in Fang Yang's ears!

Come on...... Oil! I understand!

Fang Yang suddenly came to his senses!

The problem is in the amount of oil!

The plane was planned to fly to Sanya City, and it carried more aviation fuel. And because of the hijacking, the voyage has just begun. That is, the plane carries a large amount of jet fuel. If it lands like this, there is a high chance that the plane will catch fire or even explode in the event of a heavy landing.

Fang Yang is not a professional civil airliner pilot, and when he controls the plane to land, the possibility of a heavy landing is still quite large.

Thinking of this, Fang Yang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly contacted the ground control, and his tone was extremely hurried:

"NG8773 requests to go back to flight! NG8773 requests a go-around! ”

The ground controller was startled, he was already highly nervous, and when he heard Fang Yang say that he wanted to return to flight, he hurriedly asked nervously:

"Why?"

"Carrying too much jet fuel! Landing is dangerous! Fang threatened to be concise and to the point.

At the moment the altitude of the plane is already very low, and the speed has dropped a lot. There was not much time left for Fang Yang, he didn't wait for the reply of the regulation, and decisively pushed the accelerator and pulled the driving stick. I saw the plane whizzing past the low altitude, looking up and rushing into the dark night sky again.

The controller also suddenly woke up, and he was sparse! While he felt scared for a while, he couldn't help but admire Fang Yang's calmness and thoughtfulness, and hurriedly issued an order to direct the plane to climb.

After flying to a safe altitude, new problems arise. At this time, the flight has a certain amount of damage, and it is a non-professional emergency piloting plane, so it is obviously not a wise choice to stay in the air for a long time to hover in the air. In this case, the best course of action is to direct the aircraft above the surface of the sea to perform the refueling procedure in order to enter the landing procedure as soon as possible. However, Fang Yang knew nothing about Boeing aircraft, and he was obviously unable to properly execute this complex procedure. However, the engineers in the airline's dispatch room have been slow to get in place. Controllers face a dilemma.

At this time, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the call channel that had been cleared by radio after Fang Yang announced "mayday" just now......
