"What's the cave? Tower call. ”

Except for the strange "woo-woo" sound coming from the loudspeaker, there was no other sound in the tower. Everyone wondered, could it be that the contact was broken again?

It is not uncommon for mountainous terrain to be complex and meteorological conditions to be interrupted. Li Zhan was unable to contact the tower for a long time before, and communication was not restored until he climbed through the clouds to the stratosphere.

After Fang Chenghe called again, his brows tightened, and he found that things were not so simple.

Due to the influence of terrain and meteorology, it will not be this kind of noise, and Li Zhan has climbed to the stratosphere before losing contact, where the signal is the best, how can he lose contact.

"Wait a minute, I received an answer." Fang Chenghe continued to call, turned his head and said to the communications staff officer, "The communications department will check the communications." ”

The communications staff officer immediately replied, "Report, there is no problem with the communication line!" ”

The line is definitely fine.

Fang Chenghe adjusted the frequency and called Nanzhi, "Nanzhi, I'm Longcheng, help me call Mi Dong, I can't call him." ”

Nan Zhi was Chen Fei on duty, and when he received the report, his heart immediately lifted. In the four days since the flood fight, Li Zhan's flight has not had any problems, and everyone may think that the broom star's hat can be taken off, hehe, naïve, Li Zhan can make people worry-free.

"Longcheng, Nan Zhi received, I called him, over." Chen Fei immediately made a continuous call, and immediately instructed the communication post, "Immediately activate all emergency frequencies and backup frequencies, and continue to call him until he is called." ”

It was getting dark.

"Cave Unit, Dragon City called, received an answer!"

"Cave Unit, Nan Zhi called, received an answer!"

Neither the Longcheng Tower nor Nanzhi were very worried, thinking that it might be a malfunction of the communication equipment, because the radar could see the Cave Unit, but the movement of the Cave Cave was a little strange, and it continued to descend at a height. Rather than descending from a height, it is better to dive down from an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters.

"What's going on with him?" Fang Chenghe couldn't help but say, shouting loudly again.

No response.

Yu Chenglin stared at the radar display, the altitude was like a parabola, and the airspeed and course did not change. Could it be that the oxygen supply system and the communication system are broken at the same time? How could such a strange phenomenon occur otherwise? But as long as the plane is flying, it's a blessing in misfortune.

"What happened when I received an answer?" Fang Chenghe, who had been flying for twenty years, had no clue about this sudden situation. There must be something wrong with 101's communication system, but how to explain the strange flight path?

The fighter plane seemed to lose control in an instant, but the engine thrust remained unchanged and continued to fly forward.

"I remembered the ghost flight." Zhang Wei thought of a terrifying possibility.

Yu Chenglin retorted, "It can't be a problem with the oxygen supply system, the plane is continuing to drop altitude, and the airspeed is very stable, which shows that Li Zhan still has control over the fighter!" ”

He not only refuted Zhang Wei, but also overturned his own speculation.

However, Yu Chenglin's confidence is very insufficient. The reason why the ghost flight was able to stay flying unmanned until it ran out of fuel and crashed was because of the autopilot. The J-8FR does not have an autopilot function, and if the pilot does not maintain control of the fighter continuously, the flight status of the fighter will slowly change. For example, you will lose airspeed, you will deviate from the course, and the result will be that you will crash into a mountain, and anything can happen.

Can't be sure that Li Zhan is still alive!

Although there is no precedent for a problem with the oxygen supply system that caused the pilot's carbon dioxide poisoning, it is theoretically possible. However, carbon dioxide poisoning is not instantaneous and is not in line with the current reality.

Yu Chenglin's heart was clouded.

"The height is four thousand, and the cave has not yet left the mountain." The radarman reported.

Everyone's hearts suddenly lifted again, the nerves in their bodies tightened, their hearts beat faster and they breathed carefully, as if a slightly larger movement would cause the No. 101 fighter to fall.

Fang Chenghe didn't have a second fighter on hand, otherwise he would definitely be sent out urgently to see what was going on!

It's not out of the question that a "ghost flight" could happen!

"Yu Chenglin, keep calling." Fang Chenghe sat down a little tiredly, took out a cigarette and lit one, and took a few puffs vigorously, the smell of smoke quickly confused the entire tower control center, but no one felt the slightest.

The focus is on the radar, as long as the small dot marked "JH101" on the display is there, there is hope.

"The height is still decreasing, three thousand five years." The radarman reported, and it was only his voice.

The mountainous area where Li Zhan is located has many peaks with an altitude of more than three thousand meters, in other words, at this moment, Li Zhan is flying in the mountains, and in the absence of visibility, if Li Zhan is still alive.

The general inertia of the lower height has to make people prepare for the worst.

There was a deathly silence, and the whirring of the megaphone did not stop.

Fang Chenghe crushed the cigarette butt vigorously and gave the first order, "Order Li Zhan to parachute!" Let him skydive! ”

Li Zhan didn't respond, but he might be able to hear the tower's commands.

Yu Chenglin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately continued to call, "Cave Unit!" Parachuting! I order you to skydive! ”

It wasn't an easy decision to make, especially when the No. 101 was still in the air and there was no danger. Fang Chenghe made this decision to mean that he would take responsibility for it, and he was willing to exchange his official position and a fighter plane for Li Zhan's life.

"Cave Hole! Parachuting! ”

Yu Chenglin called tirelessly.

Nanzhi also heard the call of the Longcheng Tower, and the head of Nanzhi who rushed over had a heavy face and coldly followed the development of the situation. The chiefs, of course, did not dispute Fang Chenghe's order. Times have changed, and so have thoughts. In the past, it was to keep the fighter planes at all costs, because at that time, they were poor, they were so poor that they couldn't have enough to eat, and the fighters were the gold of flight for the troops, which was more precious than human life. Therefore, as long as you can keep the fighters, what does it matter if you are a martyr.

Now there is no need to do that, the fighters are gone, buy one, one is not enough to buy two, two is not enough to buy a regiment. There is money, and it is getting more and more every year. To what extent, there are so many orders that the aircraft factory can't eat it, and the aircraft factory has maintained a full-load production state for many years.

Pilots are becoming more and more precious, and objectively speaking, pilots who can fight modern air battles are very precious. In the past, it took three or two years to train a J-6 pilot, and one or two years in extreme cases. Zhang Sihai was a pilot who was transferred from aircraft maintenance and has always been a division commander. Aside from his personal factors, the actual situation at that time had a great impact, and now let's see which aircraft can be converted into a pilot, which is completely impossible.

In the final analysis, the equipment is becoming more and more advanced, and the early models of the J-10 are disliked today, pilots want to play the third-generation aircraft or even the fourth-generation aircraft, and it is not enough to just pedal the rudder lever, first of all, they must have the same level of knowledge above the locality, higher than the physical quality of ordinary people, and higher than the psychological quality of ordinary people. The level of academic qualifications has eliminated the possibility of most people becoming pilots.

Li Zhan received a bachelor's degree certificate from Huaqing University, and his grades in that year's cadets were at the middle and upper level, which fully illustrated how many resources the Air Force had invested in training them.

Fang Chenghe firmly believes that the plane can be dispensed without, and people cannot have accidents.

Even if he doesn't go online, he won't be able to face Liu Guojian, who is known as Liu Maniac, in the future. I am afraid that he is the only one who knows Li Zhan the most in the second division, because it involves a high level of secrecy, some things Qi Hong can't ask, and as a natural insider, Fang Chenghe can't say either.

From a personal point of view, even if it was for Liu Guojian, Fang Chenghe couldn't let Li Zhan have an accident, especially now that Li Zhan had already experienced many special dangers and escaped death.

On the one hand, because of the consequences of angering Liu Guojian, the second division can't afford it, it's not that Fang Chenghe can't afford it, it's that the second division can't afford it! Fang Chenghe knows too well how much Liu Guojian values Li Zhan, and he also knows too well how much Liu Guojian protects his calves. Does Liu Guojian have the ability to put pressure on the Second Division, he doesn't, but he definitely has the ability to block the Second Division!

If it weren't for the support of the head of the military region, it would have been absolutely wishful thinking for the Second Division to bring Li Zhan over from Liu Guojian. Qi Hong said that he promised a big meal, so Liu Guojian agreed to release people, it was just a fart, Qi Hong was not so faceless!

On the other hand, Li Zhan is a benchmark among the pilots of the Second Division in the new era, and the experience he gained from the dangerous situations he has experienced has been reported to the Air Division, and will be promoted throughout the army as a new plan for handling dangerous situations. It is not easy for the army to train an excellent pilot, and it is even more difficult to grow up a benchmark that can lead an entire generation and influence at least two generations of pilots.

Vaguely, what Fang Chenghe was reluctant to show was his sympathy and admiration for Li Zhan. Li Zhan has endured too many hardships and obstacles, he has paid a lot, he should have taken another absolutely smooth path, but unfortunately he still chose to return to the aviation school to start from scratch.

When Li Zhan encountered danger many times, everyone thought of his bad luck, and then his superb handling skills, and there was a little bit of joke in their hearts. And Fang Chenghe knew that Li Zhan had experienced too much in a situation like dancing on the tip of a knife. This is where his strong mental qualities come from.

When he climbs high, he can see far, and the calculation of heaven and earth is not as good as his mental calculation. Li Zhan claims to be the Monkey King, he has his own tragic and wronged past, as well as a certain bright and infinite future.

"Chief, the cave is flying!" After seeing that the altitude of "JH101" had stopped falling, the radarman subconsciously shouted.

Two thousand five hundred meters.

Everyone moved quickly as if they had been unlocked.

The condition of the pilot cannot be judged by the linear descent of the fighter, but the fighter must be inseparable from the pilot's operation from the lower altitude to the change to level flight.

In other words, the radarman's report is tantamount to telling Fang Chenghe that Li Zhan is safe.

"Cave Hole! Dragon City Call! Hear the answer! Hear the answer! Fang Chenghe stood up abruptly and shouted loudly.

Finally, in the whirring wind, Li Zhan's voice was very tired, but it was still clear, "Longcheng Tower, I received it, cough cough, my cockpit canopy is gone, the plane is now open, it is cold this day, the oxygen supply system is also problematic, and I almost didn't carry it." But it's normal now, I'm going to make an alternate landing. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of all those who heard it were so shocked that they almost stopped beating.

Are you so naughty in a convertible plane?
