Everyone looked at the time written by Li Zhan and looked at each other.

Qi Hong picked it up and looked at it, and looked at Guo Beimu with a strange look.

Guo Beimu said to Li Zhan, "Explain." ”

Li Zhan said, "The base time is nine hours, and how much time it takes to refuel for the stopover is the time to arrive at the Bontes airport." ”

Everyone was surprised because the time calculated by Li Zhan was five hours less than the estimated time they had made after repeated analysis and calculation.

Five hours, not five minutes.

The first Gulf War ground operation lasted only 100 hours.

The faces of these combat staff officers of the Second Division were already crackling and swollen.

Li Zhan said, "My information is from three years ago, and I can't guarantee 100 percent." ”

"How much? How much can you guarantee? Qi Hong asked very politely.

Li Zhan said, "Eighty percent. I've been following the situation in Leah for the past few days, and this time it's likely to deteriorate quickly, and the sooner the evacuation is done, the better, and the sooner the workers are safer. In fact, it would have been faster if I had been allowed to drive. ”

It sounds like the focus is on the latter sentence.

"Li Zhan, don't think about flying a plane, you won't be able to play a role if you don't fly a plane? Don't think about those unrealistic, you are now an action consultant, do a good job as a consultant. Guo Beimu reprimanded.

Li Zhan lowered his head, "Yes, understood." ”

Guo Beimu wanted to say a few more words, but after realizing that there were many outsiders here, he swallowed the words alive.

It didn't take long for the information to come back.

"Division commander, the refueling can be completed within an hour halfway." The staff officer handed the message to Qi Hong.

Li Zhan frowned, looked down at the flight map he had just drawn, and said to himself, "It's almost the limit for three Ils to complete refueling and take off within an hour." I recommend taking off immediately, the most uncertain thing is the next leg from the refueling point, we still have a few hours to make adjustments, but we have to take off immediately. ”

Qi Hong looked at Guo Beimu, who said, "I have the same opinion as Li Zhan, and I suggest taking off immediately, and then fly over there first." ”

The advisory group had a unified opinion, and Qi Hong immediately reported to the top, and it was not he who made the decision.

Not long after, the commander gave the take-off order to three Il-76 transport planes that were on standby at the Beiku combat training base. The Eagle Falcon Group took off six J-11B heavy fighters to escort the Il-76 fleet to the border line and then returned.

The Il-76 fleet flew westward in the starry night.

Round-trip 16,000 kilometers need to be refueled twice, the return journey is not a big problem, as long as it is safe to get out of the high-risk airspace, so the return journey does not need to be considered too much, loaded with people all the way back to fly back, the key is the outbound journey, each link must be repeatedly scrutinized, and the time should be compressed as much as possible.

The ground and air calls of the fleet are synchronized to the operational headquarters, but it is the air division that really makes the decision, and the combat command of the Second Division plays the role of the operational staff department.

A staff officer set a countdown of ten hours (eight hours of flight, one hour of refueling, and one hour of loading), and the Ilf fleet took off at 22:05 on the 1st, which means that the fleet will complete the loading and take off from the Bontes airport at 8 hours on the 2nd, and the most critical thing is the first five hours.

The operational command room was silent, save for the telephony of the fleet and the ground.

Li Zhan found a corner position and sat down, crossed his hands in front of him, and unconsciously circled his two thumbs, but there was no movement other than that, as if the old monk had settled down, not knowing what he was thinking. The appearance of no one beside him made the staff officers of the Second Division feel unfamiliar, and many of these staff officers knew him.

Guo Beimu stood at the combat table with his arms crossed, paying attention to the flight parameters of the fleet that were constantly being synchronized, and the red dots on the simulated map representing the fleet were moving at a constant speed, and the moving speed was insignificant compared to the long distance.

The Ilf fleet flies at maximum speed at high altitudes.

"The first leg is over." A staff officer reported a sentence.

At this time, everyone's subconscious attention is highly concentrated, as if it is themselves who are flying the plane, and the second segment is the flight segment of a relatively dangerous airspace that must be passed before arriving at the stopover for refueling. The flight route was basically carried out according to Li Zhan's plan, and no one except him could come up with a feasible plan.

Li Zhan, who had been sitting for a long time, finally made a move, he stood up and walked to the front of the large display screen to stand still.

Guo Beimu walked over and asked in a low voice, "Are there any other problems with the second flight?" ”

"Probably not." Li Zhan said, "Just entering the winter, the meteorological conditions will improve greatly after crossing the snow-capped mountains, just keep flying." ”

Guo Beimu wanted to ask something, but in the end he just nodded.

Time passed very, very slowly, and the fleet finally landed smoothly at the stopover point with everyone's breath holding, and the refueling work began immediately, and the crew were all on standby on the plane, filling up the fuel and leaving. This operation is composed of two units, which absolutely guarantees that there are no problems in the unit.

It is most appropriate to describe the mood of the people in the combat command room with trepidation.

The fleet completed refueling 10 minutes later than planned, and by the time it took off, it was already 20 minutes later than planned. The air division gave the fleet an order to speed up the time to catch up. We are somewhat mentally prepared for the time error in this link, and everyone understands the ground staff of Pakistan, and it is fortunate that they have no other problems.

Sometimes things are really weird, and problems come one after another as soon as something goes wrong.

First, No. 2 reported a technical malfunction in the navigator, and random technicians immediately carried out emergency repairs, then passed through the flight information region and asked for a change of course and altitude, until it suddenly received a no-fly notice in the airspace ahead after entering the orange airspace.

At this point, the fleet will definitely not be able to reach the Bontes airport on time, what should we do next? These are not for these people in the operations command room to decide.

The staff officers in the operations command room quickly discussed it, and combined with the latest information received, they tried to find the second possibility against the map. Li Zhan watched uncharacteristically, and what made Qi Hong even more puzzled was that Guo Beimu also had the same attitude.

Qi Hong walked over and asked Guo Beimu, "Chief of Staff Guo, what is the opinion of the advisory group?" ”

Guo Beimu said, "Division Commander Qi, it's not a tactical issue now, we have to wait for the clear instructions of the air division to be targeted." ”

"You're saying my people are doing useless work?" Qi Hong glanced at the staff officers who were busy with work.

Guo Beimu said without hesitation, "Yes, it doesn't make sense." ”

Qi Hong was not very happy, but he didn't say anything.

Within two minutes, the air division's instructions arrived. The fleet began to hover and standby, asking the combat command to come up with a second flight path here, bypassing the no-fly zone and heading to Bontes Airport. Apparently the situation on the ground is tense, and the relevant agencies on the ground are already organizing workers to get to the airport.

An even worse situation has arisen.

A communications staff officer suddenly stood up and reported loudly, "Just received the news!" The Puntes airport has been closed and all access to the airport has been cut off! ”

Li Zhan's face changed suddenly, and so did Guo Beimu, they quickly walked to the side and talked in a low voice......
