A huge military plane hovered low overhead, sometimes flying at an ultra-low altitude, almost grazing the mast, and sometimes making a dive-bombing posture to warn. There are many crew members of the West Pacific Pirates who know a lot of military aircraft, and the pirate leaders on their command ships recognize it at a glance, it is China's H-6 long-range bomber!

This situation undoubtedly shocked them deeply!

The Chinese Air Force has dispatched bombers to protect the safety of fishermen? That's, isn't it?

The West Pacific pirate leader did not recognize it as a strategic reconnaissance plane.

The H-6KZZ undoubtedly gave the five armed pirate ships of the West Pacific Pirates a great deterrent.

After a series of warning deterrent flights, Li Zhan began to warn the West Pacific pirates on the international general channel: "Listen to the Sunset Maru! Get away from my fishing boat now! The white flag will be raised within three minutes in response, otherwise our aircraft will carry out decisive measures! Repeat, ships such as the Sunset Maru listen! Get away from my fishing boat now! The white flag will be raised within three minutes in response, otherwise our aircraft will implement decisive measures in accordance with the relevant regulations! ”

Li Zhan called three times in a row, then looked at Yu Chenglin and Liu Changxi, and his right hand had already moved to the fire control radar switch.

Yu Chenglin and Liu Changxi nodded decisively, and Li Zhan turned on the fire control radar. The fire control radar on board the aircraft is used for relay guidance, and the power is very powerful, but there is no supporting missile. In fact, only a few modifications are needed to make the aircraft capable of missile attack.

The use of fire control radars for irradiation locking is the most obvious signal of readiness for attack.

The Western Pacific pirate leader, who was still hesitating, couldn't withstand the pressure this time, and in the face of bombers who were very likely to drop more than ten tons of ammunition, any ship would ignore it.

Li Zhan was still worried about the simulated blue army's aerial surveillance and expulsion detachment, but when he looked up, heh, the fisherman and the starting point sand sculpture had arrived in advance, and they were competing fiercely with the simulated blue army's aerial surveillance and expulsion detachment!

This time I was relieved.

"Master, we arrived early, the engines are almost scrapped, you have to reimburse me!" Yao Dongming joked.

Li Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm famous for driving a plane fee engine, you let me reimburse you for the engine, what do you think?" Hurry up and deal with those flies to scare and scare those pirates, I don't have enough fire control radar and no weapons to deter! ”

"Xiao Li, don't worry, we often cooperate with the 300 Division, the problem in front of us is nothing, but you, is it enough for you to return home with such a toss? I suggest you leave the ship immediately and leave the rest to us! Luo You calmly called Li Zhan.

"I've got to go back, but it's enough to fly back. Alright, you'll take care of the rest. Li Zhan slowly pulled up the plane and called Hu Jian's fishing boat No. 2901 for the last time, "Hu Jian 2901, I don't have much fuel to return, but you can rest assured, we have four heavy fighters in place, you are very safe, I wish you all the best!" Good bye! ”

Hu Jian's fishing boat No. 2901 responded with a song:

"Brothers of the armed nation! The day of the War of Resistance has come, the day of the War of Resistance has come! Look at the enemy, destroy him, destroy him! Kill! The big knife slashes at the devil's head! Kill! ”

This stimulated the eleven people on the H-6KZZ to the point that they couldn't wait to turn around and fight to the death with the West Pacific pirates, and the shock in their hearts was so intense.

"I don't want to leave with an extra barrel of oil, I'm so angry." Li Zhan said helplessly.

Yu Chenglin sneered and said, "Two more barrels are not enough, you see, the ideal situation is that we abandon the plane and parachute in the sea area a hundred kilometers away from the coastline." ”

They were all silent.

At this time, behind them, Yao Dongming and Luo You's two two-plane formations solved the problem in the air in three or two, and now they are teaching the five armed pirate ships of the West Pacific Pirates to be people. Although they do not carry sea-to-sea munitions, air-to-air missiles can be used as sea-to-sea missiles when necessary. What's more, under such circumstances, the Western Pacific pirates will never dare to openly confront the armed forces of a sovereign state.

After a short time, Yao Dongming led his wingman to catch up, and Luo You continued to escort the Hu Yu 2901 fishing boat, escorting them to a safe area. Both the J-11B and the Su-30MKK have enough airtime and range, and staying in this airspace for an hour or two is not a problem.

"Fighting falcon fighting falcon, fisherman calls. Master, hearing the answer, I am entering from your left flank, and the wingman will be guarding your right flank. Yao Dongming called Li Zhan.

Li Zhan quickly replied, "Fighting Falcon received, you come here, the altitude is 12,000, I want to go to the altitude of 12,000, the plane fuel is not enough, I may not be able to fly back." ”

As soon as they heard this, the hearts of Yao Dongming and the other four suddenly cooled, and they couldn't wait to pour the oil from their plane into the fuel tank of the H-6KZZ, and they couldn't wait to fly back with the H-6KZZ.

Yao Dongming couldn't accept this fact emotionally, and he asked, "Master, there must be another way, is it feasible to glide some more distances at some heights?" I'm talking about turning off the car and gliding for a distance before driving in the air. ”

He was all messed up and made an unbelievable suggestion.

As a result, Li Zhan's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Hey, what a way!" ”

Yao Dongming calmed down, but became worried, "Master, I'm in a hurry, this method won't work, driving in the air is too dangerous!" ”

"No matter how big it is, is there a chance that you won't be able to fly back?" Li Zhan snorted coldly, "There is no way to be endless, I know there is a way." What if you don't have the ability to refuel in the air, there is still a way to fly back! ”

Yu Chenglin realized that Li Zhan had entered the state of that madman day, and every time he encountered danger, Li Zhan was like this, and he would suddenly burst out with a stronger personal ability, so he could turn evil into good luck every time.

"Will it work?" Liu Changxi couldn't make up his mind and asked.

Li Zhan said, "If it doesn't work, it has to work, there is nothing else but this way." ”

Liu Changxi said helplessly, "Yes, we can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and it is best to bring the plane back, but it is really not possible for the rear command post to instruct us to abandon the plane and parachute and save the people first." ”

"Forced landings at sea are also a solution." Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "But the size of the H-6 is very unsuitable for forced landing at sea, and it is very dangerous." After thinking about it, I think this method proposed by my apprentice is worth trying. As long as we can pull back the fuel gap of 70 or 80 kilometers, and go up to some heights before the fuel is exhausted, the possibility of diversion at Dachang Station exists. ”

Yu Chenglin shook his head helplessly, "Do you still want to land at the big station?" It would be nice to be able to land according to the place. ”

"I've thought about it, the big station is the most suitable, their runway is east-west, and you can land if you fly directly over it. And the location of Oba Station is the closest. Li Zhan said.

Liu Changxi said, "But Dachang Station is very close to the eastern urban area, and the population is very dense. ”

"Dachang Station is located in the old city at all, and the population density is very high." Yu Chenglin said.

Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "It won't crash over the city, believe me." ”

He resolutely continued to climb, and the H-6KZZ roared through layers of light clouds and flew high into the sky, aiming for an altitude of 12,000 meters.

Driving in the air is so risky that you may not be able to drive it, but there is clearly no other effective way.

Yao Dongming looked at the H-6KZZ's unhesitating climb and felt remorseful in his heart, blaming himself for not mentioning such a bad idea, but after thinking about it, is there a better way than a crash? It seemed that there was no more, and he and his wingman quickly followed and continued to protect the H-6KZZ left and right.

12,000 kilometers is the practical ceiling of the H-6, and the ceiling has been increased to a certain extent after the D-30-KP-2 turbofan engine with greater thrust has been replaced. At this point, the decision to climb to 12,000 kilometers was the best altitude that was carefully calculated – to gain the maximum gliding distance with the least fuel consumption.

The sun was just around the corner, looming in the Haitian line, as if at any moment it might retract its little head from the window of her boudoir like a shy girl next door.

What a beautiful scenery of "sunset and dusk".

Looking down, the vast land in the distance gradually fell into darkness, but it made people feel a little sad.

"Alright, start the economic cruise."

Li Zhan fixed the throttle and connected to the autopilot, and simply hugged his arm.

Yu Chenglin, Liu Changxi, and Bai Bitu were all so nervous that they didn't want to speak. The aircraft cruising forward for a certain distance, then turning off the engines to glide by inertia and altitude, and then starting the engines to climb altitude, and so on. In other words, the fuel is basically used for driving and climbing, and it basically relies on gliding forward to shorten the distance with Dachang Station.

The values repeatedly calculated by the technical team are feasible, and they can fly smoothly to the large station through this method, but the error caused by some external environmental factors is difficult to calculate accurately.

Everyone has the same idea in their hearts - fighting together may be able to achieve both human and machine skills.

The ten-second countdown to turn off the car, Li Zhan's hand was already on the switch, before that, he switched the automatic driving to manual driving, and muttered: "Prepare to turn off the car, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, turn off the car." ”

Two D-30-KP-2 turbofan engines quickly stopped running.

The aircraft, having lost thrust, began to lose altitude linearly, continuing to fly forward while losing altitude. Comparing the altitude descent rate with the airspeed descent rate, the faces of Liu Changxi and the others suddenly became solemn. The aerodynamic layout of the H-6KZZ is really not a good choice for gliding flight, and if it is a Y-8, the situation will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Once again, it turns out that the H-6 is not a good platform for a suitable long-range electronic reconnaissance aircraft, and even the ARJ-21 regional jet will be better.

The altitude dropped until 5,000 meters, and Li Zhan began to carry out the aerial driving procedure.

"First time driving!"

Li Zhan shouted and started the APU, but the worst happened - the two D-30-KP-2 turbofan engines did not move.

No one has the heart to be nervous and remorseful, and this is the most critical moment.

"Second drive!"

Li Zhan shouted again and activated the APU for the second time.

The tachometer hand on the left is steadily rising, but the right is still silent.

An extremely awkward situation arises – do you want to do it again or do you want to keep the status quo?

What if the third drive fails to start twice?

But relying on the left hair alone will never fly back!

Li Zhan said, "If you don't do it, you will die left and right, and I want to fight." ”

"Fight, fight!" Yu Chenglin said calmly.

Liu Changxi smashed his fist on the throttle lever and said, "Fight!" ”

None of them told the cruel truth - the power of the APU is limited, and it is impossible to start the engine continuously. While the flight altitude is falling in unison, the speed is getting faster and faster, leaving them with a short time machine.

Any hesitation at this point is fatal.

Li Zhan turned off the engine once again and took a deep breath, as if doing so would help drive in the air.

"Third drive!"

I started the APU, stared at the tachometer with both eyes, and said all the good things in my heart. The left hair started smoothly again, but the right hair still did not move.

Just when Li Zhan's eyes showed a look of disappointment, the tachometer on his right hair twitched like a spasm, suddenly high and low, and he clearly heard the engine trembling. This is no joke, engine tremor is a sign of engine failure.

It's over, I'm going to abandon the plane and skydive.

Just when Li Zhan and the others began to think about the way back, the right hair actually started with a wheez, and it started smoothly!
