A communications pod was carefully removed from a Y-8 medium-sized transport plane, and the personnel of the base's confidential section and ground staff escorted it to the side of the parking stand, and two unsmiling staff officers, a major and a captain, and two factory technicians arrived on the same plane.

"Who are the pilots?"

The staff officer of the major followed the escort of the communication pod and asked loudly before the person arrived.

Li Zhan, who was checking the engine with the mechanic, hurriedly ran over when he heard this, "I am!" ”

The major staff officer was stunned for a moment, and stood up and saluted, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel." ”

"Hello, my name is Li Zhan." Li Zhan returned the salute and nodded slightly, from the two staff officers in front of him wearing 07-style woodland camouflage uniforms and wearing headquarters armbands, he saw the familiar style from them and smelled a familiar smell.

The staff officer of the major introduced the two technicians and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Li, they teach you how to use the equipment, no offense, but you must strictly follow the operating procedures. ”

"Understood."

Li Zhan didn't talk nonsense, followed them to a secluded place, and the two technicians squatted down on the spot and opened the computer with the army green shell they were carrying, and quickly explained. After confirming that Li Zhan was able to recite the operation program upside down, one of the technicians handed a smart tablet to Li Zhan and said, "Connect this tablet to the backup communication interface and operate the communication pod from here, Lieutenant Colonel Li, please remember to use this tablet to operate." ”

"It is clear that the communication pod can only be operated through this tablet." Li Zhan repeated the request, secretly surprised in his heart, this time he had met a big person.

The communication pod is used for ultra-short-wave short-distance data transmission with the Great Wall boat, which can only be used within 500 meters, and thirteen encryption programs are set up, that is to say, the received data information is stored after being processed by the encryption program of the communication pod. If the Great Wall boat sends a bunch of garbled codes, then the communication pod will eventually store a bunch of garbled codes that are even more messy than the book from the sky.

What kind of data information needs such complex encryption, Li Zhan didn't dare to guess at all.

Moreover, it is required that transmission can only be carried out at a distance of 500 meters, and the power of the transmission device of the Great Wall boat must be limited to death, and there is no way to receive the signal beyond this distance of the communication pod, so that it is impossible to be intercepted.

After the work on the technician's side was completed, they decisively avoided it.

The staff officer of the major handed over a satellite phone and said in a deep voice, "In case of emergency, you can use this phone to contact the Great Wall boat, or you can directly contact the base." ”

The captain's staff officer handed over a piece of paper and said, "That's the prescribed communication language, Lieutenant Colonel, and you'll have to write it all down." ”

Although the other party's military rank is not high, the level is not high, but the momentum on his body is very oppressive, people who have worked in special units for a long time will have such an momentum, Li Zhan did not have much contact with this kind of people in the air gunboat unit back then.

Li Zhan silently recited in front of the two of them, and the content of hundreds of words was very strange and irrelevant pronouns, with no logic at all, just like A saying "Your dog day" and B replying "The weather is good", which makes people confused. It was really difficult for other pilots to learn these in such a short period of time, and it was obvious that the superiors gave Li Zhan this task because he had experience in this area.

Li Zhan wrote it all down in a few minutes, and the captain's staff officer tested it several times on the spot, and Li Zhan's answers were straightforward and neat, which surprised the captain's staff officer.

The sky was slightly brightened, and the sunrise could be seen in more than ten minutes, and the time came to 6:05.

After the maintenance of the aircraft mounted the communication pod and two medium-range aerial bombs and two combat bombs, and also stuffed the aircraft artillery magazine with 30 mm shells, and after confirming that all the preparations were completed, Li Zhan took the tablet and carried the flight bag to board the plane. His No. 533 J-15 recently activated the fire control function and has combat capability.

There was a rare scene in the tower, and the two bosses, Mo Ren'an and Lao Chentou, were all there.

After the order, Li Zhan drove the No. 533 J-15 loaded with ten tons of aviation fuel to the take-off line, took off from north to south with the long-distance taxi take-off method that he rarely used, and then turned to the left to the direction of 060, and flew away roughly towards sunrise.

At this time, his relatives who were still asleep did not know that he had risen into the air and sailed 1,800 kilometers away, and no one knew what would happen in that unfamiliar airspace.

Li Zhan climbed to an altitude of 13,000 meters and flew at cruising speed, avoiding civil aviation routes and saving fuel at the same time, which was the best way. Accustomed to supersonic speeds, he is really a little uncomfortable with the slow thousand-kilometer-per-hour. This time, the task is to avoid any interference as much as possible, and to bring back the data and information of the Great Wall boat smoothly is to succeed.

Forty minutes later, he arrived at the first turning point, contacted the first navigation station to confirm the course, then turned right to 160 degrees, and ten minutes later made contact with the second navigation station to confirm the course again. Next, he had to contact the tanker waiting in the airspace of the second turning point for the first in-flight refueling.

An Il-78 tanker plane belonging to a certain division of the Air Force was already waiting in the airspace of the second turning point, and they stuck the time very accurately, and only entered the predetermined airspace ten minutes ahead of Li Zhan. They were required to be on standby for five hours, so they only loaded 20 tons of fuel and spent the rest of the weight on their own jet fuel to maximize their stay in the air.

Theoretically, they were in the air for eight hours, so they didn't have to worry about returning home early due to lack of fuel. And the twenty tons of fuel on board are completely enough for a J-15 carrier-based fighter to be fully blooded twice.

It can be seen that both the Air Division and the Sea Division are very aware that there are too many uncertainties in this mission, and they have prepared for the worst.

When Li Zhan saw the refueling plane, it was already dark, and he called the refueling machine, "Nurse, this is the most handsome son in the family who is ready to get married, I see you, ready to enter from behind you, are you ready?" Complete. ”

The captain of the tanker quickly replied, it was a calm middle-aged male voice, "The most handsome son in the family who is ready to get married, I have seen you too, keep the altitude up, the weather here is good, you can dock at any time, over." ”

"Understood, keep it at 8,000 meters above sea level, prepare for docking, over." Li Zhan replied with a smile.

The captain of the tanker said, "I'll ask the tanker to contact you, the frequency will not change, over." ”

"The frequency is the same, over."

Then a woman's voice called Li Zhan, "The most handsome son in the family who is ready to get married, here is the refueler, I see you, ready to release the oil pipeline, over." ”

Yes?

A very young female voice, Li Zhan's spirit suddenly improved a lot, and he grinned, "Understood, I will enter gently, over." ”

The refueling officer was a lady in her twenties, and she rolled her eyes when she heard this, and while releasing the refueling pipe at the tail according to the manipulation requirements, she couldn't help but salute back, "I'm afraid you can't plug it in at once." ”

"Don't worry, it's definitely in place at one time, the kind in the chrysanthemum center, I'm very experienced." Li Zhan laughed.

The cone of the oil filling tube resembles a blooming chrysanthemum.

The female sergeant didn't match Li Zhan's yellow tone, and concentrated on the operation.

In fact, there is no problem with these dialogues at all, it's just that everyone will want to be crooked when they hear such words, and it is really not easy for adults, and they must move forward with a smile and a heavy burden.

"The most handsome son in the family who is ready to get married, the gas pipe is in place, it's your turn to insert it, I'll wait for your state, it's over." The sergeant said solemnly, and then muttered, "It's not good to have such a long codename." ”

Li Zhan smiled, "Isn't it good?" ”

The crew couldn't help it, and the communication channel burst into laughter.

jokingly adjusting the mood, Li Zhan's movements under his hands did not drag the slightest mud and water, and quickly pounced with a swift movement that the female sergeant had never seen, and the buried oil receiving pipe on the left side of the nose had been released, and poked straight at the cone sleeve.

The female sergeant was startled and subconsciously said, "You're too fast!" Don't be so rough! ”

"Calm down." Li Zhan said lightly, it would be more decent if he had a toothpick in his mouth, and said, "Do you know what the simulated Blue Army unit says about me?" The flying technique is extremely superb, the flying style is extremely rough, and the flight language is extremely rude. I've never missed. ”

The female sergeant's eyes widened, "You are Li Zhan, the most handsome and skilled super ace pilot in the entire army aviation unit?" Is that you? Are you Li Zhan? ”

"Sister, you should call my most handsome son in the family who is preparing for a fake marriage." Li Zhan said proudly.

The female sergeant rolled her eyes and said, "Are men who are ready to get married so presumptuous and seize the last bit of time to be hard-mouthed?" ”

"Ugh." Li Zhan was speechless and inserted.

"Alright, it's time to give oil."

The sergeant saw it, she had never seen such a rapid approach, and she clearly saw that the fighter plane was stable at the last moment, and there was almost no error between the speed and the tanker, the fuel hose did not shake at all, and the refueling cone sleeve was inserted very steadily.

The sergeant saw that the light that allowed the fuel transfer turned from red to green, and immediately turned on the fuel pump, and the fuel was injected into the fuel tank of the No. 533 J-15 at a rate of 2,300 liters per minute. The amount of oil to be filled is communicated and set in advance, so it only needs to wait for the lock of the oil transfer contact cone to be completed.

The two fighters flew at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 8,000 meters, with the same course and the same airspeed, and there was a certain altitude difference between them, but the distance between the front and rear was only 26 meters. The refueling process is very dangerous, and the slightest mistake can lead to a collision.

Crosswinds, the wake of tankers, the pilot's maneuvering, can cause a disaster. In this process, everyone has no intention of joking, and is engrossed in staring at the place where they should be staring, hoping that they can complete the refueling in a few seconds.

Li Zhan wanted to replenish four tons of aviation fuel, so the panic lasted less than two minutes, and the female sergeant touched the cone lock and gave Li Zhan an order to get out. Li Zhan snapped the control stick to the right, and the fighter quickly broke away from the tanker with a steep slope to the right, and then adjusted its course to accelerate to the mission airspace.

"The most handsome son in the family who is ready to get married, I am waiting for you here, I wish you success!" The captain of the tanker called Li Zhan.

Li Zhan replied, "Nurse, see you or leave, it's over!" ”

Everyone seems to have forgotten that Li Zhan never systematically received in-flight refueling training, because the quality of his completion of this subject was higher than that of many instructors. He even has the ability to refuel in the air at night. The world-wide difficulty subjects are as simple as a lever for him, so much so that people take it all for granted, and whether or not they have received systematic in-flight refueling training has become a dispensable criterion.

The female sergeant watched the No. 533 J-15 from a distance, her vision was very good, until she couldn't see it, and began to pray silently in her heart, she must come back intact, she must be. All officers and men involved in this mission can guess what difficulties will be encountered in the operation of the fighter to receive data information. In the unfamiliar airspace so far from the motherland, there is nothing without support, no ground guidance, and even long-distance communication has become extremely fragile.

There is a great possibility that a fighter on a mission will turn into a kite with a broken string.

Of course, the female sergeant didn't know Li Zhan, but Li Zhan's name even spread to Lao Lu's infantry unit. If it is said that in the past, the little prince became an expert in handling dangerous situations when he frequently encountered dangers, and it was only spread among the air force and naval aviation units, then after returning from military exchanges abroad, who in the whole army did not know that the air force had a legendary pilot who single-handedly destroyed half of the aircraft carrier battle group and legally shot down two Japanese air self-control fighters in a friendly confrontation match?

And Sanjay, who was tortured and went crazy, gave Li Zhan another nickname: printer!

The maintenance once said that he planned to brush his landline with a "printer", but Li Zhan hurriedly refused, what are you kidding, how can this kind of nickname be casually put on the fuselage? Besides, what the hell is a printer, there is no relationship between the plane and the printer! It's completely illogical!

After flying 800 kilometers in the direction of 030 and confirming the bearing by radio, Li Zhan was convinced that he had entered the mission airspace, and he immediately made a circling maneuver and turned on the communication pod. The communication pod will emit ultra-short waves at a specific frequency, and after the communication device on the Great Wall boat receives it, Li Zhan can determine the location, so as to shorten the distance to receive data information.

However, the Great Wall boat must surface, and the communication mast needs to be exposed to the surface of the water to receive the signal normally, and the distance between the two must be earlier than the ultra-short wave signal coverage of the communication pod, of course, this will not be a big problem.

Therefore, when Li Zhan was circling at high altitude, even if there was an error of tens of kilometers in the distance, it would not affect his ability to confirm the position of the Great Wall boat.

However, he circled three times but could not hear back from the Great Wall boat.

There are two possibilities, first, the Great Wall boat is not within the ultra-short-wave communication distance of the communication pod, which is almost impossible, and the Great Wall boat can receive the signal even if it is 200 kilometers away from Li Zhan in the case of passive reception.

The second possibility is that the Great Wall boat did not surface.

A malfunctioning submarine did not surface?

Li Zhan became solemn.

PS: Fasten your seatbelt and get ready for takeoff. Last month, everyone gave a lot of effort into the top 50, and today I recalculated it, the principle of more than a lot, the cumulative need to add more 22000 + 30000, the basic update every day 4000, all the words are calculated cumulatively, so now it is 4000/52000. The sincerity is quite quite enough, a few brothers, the guaranteed monthly pass is coming!
