Li Zhan consumed more fuel than planned, so he called the tanker to come and meet him, so as to ensure that there was enough fuel to fly back and deal with other emergencies.

At this time, it was already nine o'clock Beijing time, and Li Zhan had been in the air for more than three hours, three hours of high mental tension, if it weren't for the large number of high-intensity flight training foundation during the period of working in Beiku, he would have felt tired.

The tanker and the No. 533 J-15 went in the opposite direction, and Li Zhan, who maintained a high degree of vigilance, turned on the airborne radar from time to time to search for air and sea.

There is also a huge hidden danger at this time.

From the appearance of armed gunboats to the appearance of anti-submarine boats, this process is a standard combat readiness. Li Zhan, Li Zongchuan, and Tu Meiri all had a strong feeling in their hearts that the Western Pacific pirates were prepared, and they seemed to be inadvertent, but they actually had a clear purpose. Aside from the important data and information carried by the Great Wall Boat, they couldn't think of anything that would make the Western Pacific Pirates so forward.

The West Pacific pirates are an extremely rampant illegal armed forces at sea, they do all kinds of evil and cruelty, and have seriously endangered the safety of the world's maritime transport, and the Interpol Organization has included the group of pirates in the key combat list, but there are many obstacles in international cooperation and communication in combating piracy, resulting in the failure to take substantive action, and the West Pacific pirates have been able to develop and grow.

Li Zhan was very worried about the safety of the Great Wall boat and the "Guntuan Yu 101" pelagic tuna fishing boat, one of which was out of order, and the other was a fishing boat with limited self-defense capabilities, and if they encountered the main fleet of the Western Pacific pirates, their situation would be very dangerous.

But he couldn't do anything, before sending the data information back.

His return proved to be also full of difficulties and dangers, when the radar alarm beeped, and the serious female voice "Enemy search!" Enemy Search! When the warning sounded, Li Zhan knew that he was being targeted by the armed planes of the Western Pacific pirates.

"Nurse stops moving! I've got an armed plane! Li Zhan accelerated while diving frantically to warn the approaching tankers to keep them away from the threat area.

The tanker planes were slow, maneuverable, and defenseless, and they could only be beaten when they encountered armed planes, so Li Zhan had to make sure that the tanker planes were not within their threat range if he wanted to concentrate on dealing with the two unidentified armed planes that came out. The captain of the tanker immediately made an evasive turn.

After Li Zhan gained enough kinetic energy, he climbed up, made a "J" maneuver, pointed the nose of the plane in the direction of the threat, and as soon as the airborne radar searched, two threatening targets appeared on the display screen. The judgment given by the AESA radar intelligence database is that there are two F-5 fighters capable of launching air-to-air missiles, and this kind of fighter has entered the civilian population a lot, and the West Pacific pirates must have obtained some through some illegal channels.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Li Zhan did not rush into the countermeasures, but after making sure that the fire control system locked on to the target, he began to steer and cut from the left flank of the F-5 formation. The J-15's avionics system is very advanced and is comparable to the technical level of the equipment on the J-10C. The huge AESA radar it carries can track 20 targets and attack eight of them at the same time, of course, it is difficult to exert theoretical capabilities in actual combat, but it is no problem to track more than a dozen targets and attack five or six of them at the same time. When necessary, the J-15S can even act as an air command aircraft to command a silent formation for air combat.

When the air combat technique reaches the level of Li Zhan, it is no longer confined to one move and one style, and you have no way to judge his next move according to ordinary logic, because your tactical thinking is far behind.

His freewheeling maneuvers confused the two mercenaries piloting the F-5 - it was neither a preparation for escape nor a standard anti-biting maneuver. They only need to follow the steering to easily maintain the tail-biting advantage on the target, but they will lose some distance advantage.

In other words, if they want to continue to eat the tail biting advantage, the distance will be about five kilometers away by Li Zhan. The crux of the matter was that they had no way to judge Li Zhan's next move, and there was no way to see what he meant from Li Zhan's choice of action, and at this time they lost the initiative.

The problem is that they don't know it, thinking they've just met a newbie.

The mercenaries who flew these two second-hand F-5 fighters were not really very adept, they had a lot of flying experience but very little real combat experience. They are hired by the Western Pacific Pirates for a high reward, and most of the time they only maintain a existence, and usually do not use them passively, so their experience has not improved much.

If it weren't for the sinking of three armed gunboats, the West Pacific pirates would have been reluctant to send two F-5s to pursue the "murderer". They were originally chasing the "Guntuanyu No. 101" ocean-going tuna fishing boat, but the "Guntuanyu No. 101" suddenly rushed in the opposite direction to support the Great Wall boat, and they lost their target, and as a result, they inadvertently spotted the high-altitude No. 533 J-15, so they chased after it. In the process of pursuit, it was learned that one of their anti-submarine ships had been sunk, and the command staff of the Western Pacific Pirates was mad and gave the two F-5s an order to pursue the 533 J-15 and shoot it down!

As the saying goes, who does not do the immortal sky bypass?

It is a pity that the mercenary pilots of the two F-5 fighters have really limited combat experience, and they used radar to lock on to the target before entering the range of air-to-air missile attacks, which aroused Li Zhan's vigilance. If they continue to quietly catch up from the direction of Li Zhan's back hemisphere, and wait until Li Zhan and the tanker plane converge for aerial refueling, their success rate will be greatly increased!

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

They are about to pay with their lives for their mistakes.

Li Zhan made a turn with a very small radius by taking advantage of the instantaneous disk performance of the J-15 with the addition of front canards, which is better than the J-11 series fighters. When his nose was aimed at the two F-5 fighters again, the F-5 happened to take the tail-biting route, and the distance between them was reduced to five kilometers in an instant.

Two F-5s entered the complete non-escape zone of the two PL-9 close-range combat missiles carried by Li Zhan.

He set up the attack program when he locked on to the target for the first time, and the two PL-9 short-range air-to-air missiles would attack the target separately, and there would never be a problem of attacking the same infrared signal source at the same time.

Two PL-9 short-range air-to-air missiles were launched at an interval of two seconds, and Li Zhan did not evade the turn, but maintained his attitude and continued to rush towards the two targets. He was prepared for the worst - if the missile missed, he would use the cannon to eliminate the target.

The two PL-9 short-range air-to-air missiles quickly accelerated to Mach 2 with the help of rocket boosters, and after seven seconds, they both hit their respective targets with precision. The two F-5 fighters were blown up before they could make evasive maneuvers, and the pilots did not even have a chance to eject.

Li Zhan flew past the wreckage that had fallen to the surface of the sea, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had not seen a parachute. He was very angry, and he could be said to have endured the pirates of the West Pacific again and again, but as a result, the other side did not relent, repeatedly took the initiative to provoke, regarded his reasonable concession as weakness, and now even sent armed gunboats to intercept our fishing boats, sent anti-submarine ships to threaten our submarines, and if he did not retaliate with the necessary and justified fire, the mission of maintaining world peace would really become a slogan.

It is absolutely necessary to crack down on these pirates who are all evil and cruel and cruel by the most severe means, to defeat their arrogance, and if possible, to exterminate them all and to restore a stable and prosperous living environment for the people of the world.

However, at this time, Li Zhan was most worried about the Great Wall boat and the "Guntuanyu 101" ocean-going tuna fishing boat. Even armed planes were sent, and the main fleet of the Western Pacific pirates must be hiding somewhere in the nearby seas. They obviously wouldn't have gone back if they hadn't hit something, so it was certain that in addition to the Great Wall boat and the "Gun Tuanyu 101", Li Zhan had detected more than a dozen civilian ships before this, and they would definitely become the target of their looting.

Li Zhan climbed to an altitude of 12,000 meters and turned on the afterburner supersonic flight, called the tanker to prepare for refueling, and at the same time he informed Mr. Li of the encounter just now through secret words and gave his own judgment. That's all he can do at this point, and the first task is to get the data back before twelve o'clock.

When Li Zhan completed the second in-flight refueling and received six tons of aviation fuel, the time had already reached 10:15, and he only had one hour and 45 minutes to return home.

In view of this, he asked the command post to make an alternate landing in the northeast region, then replenish fuel and ammunition at any air force station in the northeast region, and then take off for the second time to support the Great Wall boat and the "Guntuanyu 101" ocean-going tuna fishing boat. Of course, before that, he reported to the command post what happened to him completely, from the "Guntuan Yu 101" ocean-going tuna fishing boat being pursued by armed gunboats of the West Pacific pirates, to the threat of anti-submarine ships on the Great Wall boat, to his interception from the air.

The command post was furious.

My navy was bullied by a gang of pirates, and I can't bear it anymore!

The command post approved Li Zhan's request to resupply ammunition, and at the same time activated an emergency plan to combat piracy.

Li Zhan rushed to a station in the northeast at supersonic speed, and at this time he especially hoped to drive a fourth-generation aircraft. During supersonic flight, he needs to turn on afterburner at certain intervals, and the change in airspeed is obvious, otherwise the fighter cannot fly at supersonic speed, while the fourth-generation aircraft can cruise at supersonic speed and does not need to open afterburner.

At 11:10 a.m., Li Zhan landed at a certain station in the northeast, and the relevant ground crew was already on standby, and the team that was urgently ordered to receive data and information was also in place. While the officers and men of the aircraft maintenance were busy carrying out emergency overhaul and refueling of the fighter planes to carry weapons and ammunition, Li Zhan hurried to replenish food, and while he ate in the flight briefing room, the duty leader of a certain air force unit asked him about the situation in the sea area where the incident occurred according to the requirements of his superiors.

Knowing that a certain regiment stationed at the station had been ordered to urgently support the Great Wall boats to fight the pirates, Li Zhan simply helped them formulate a battle plan and at the same time put forward suggestions on a communication plan. The leader on duty was the head of the regiment and knew who Li Zhan was, so he gave full consideration to his suggestions, and Li Zhan knew the situation on the scene very well, so he basically adopted Li Zhan's suggestions on the battle plan.

Last year, the regiment modified a group of J-11Bs, which is also the only unit in the unit with long-range ground-to-sea strike capabilities. After receiving the order from their superiors, they quickly transferred to first-class operations, and 12 J-11Bs were preparing for the flight at the same time, nine of which adopted the sea attack payload plan, and the other three were airborne and responsible for air cover.

This is actually one of their operational plans, and they can be used directly after making targeted changes. The pilots who were ordered to go out were very excited, and they usually hit targets everywhere, and although it was said that the amount of live-fire training of the troops had increased dramatically since last year, they were always not as exciting as hitting real targets.

What is the purpose of training for so long, isn't it just to use the army for a while!

Even though it's just a gang of pirates.

Li Zhan took the time to take a shower and change a diaper, and then came to the tarmac again, the strike detachment of the regiment was still preparing, waiting for the order of his superiors to be dispatched, and he needed to take off immediately to act as a reconnaissance team. Moreover, the situation of the "Guntuan Yu 101" and the Great Wall boat is not yet known, and he must seize every minute to rush over.

The Il-78 tanker, codenamed Nurse, has returned, and they are running out of fuel. Another Il-78 tanker plane, which had taken off urgently from the Guanzhong area, was on its way and would be on standby at the second turning point as a backup.

Taking off from a station in the northeast, the sea area where the incident occurred was within the combat radius of the J-11B aircraft group, and the J-11B is an air refueling capability, so the tanker aircraft is basically prepared for Li Zhan's No. 533 J-15.

Because Li Zhan took off with half a full load, his fuel was only enough to fly 2,500 kilometers, which could not reach the maximum combat radius.

Four twin aviation rocket launchers are on both sides of the wings, all of which are 90 mm caliber aviation rockets, two YJ-83 anti-ship missiles are mounted on the innermost heavy two heavy pylons on the two wings, two pylons in the air intake tract are also mounted on two KH-59MK air-to-surface missiles, and the front pylons of the two tandem pylons under the belly of the fuselage are mounted on the indication pod, and the latter one is mounted on an R-77 medium-range air-to-air missile.

In addition, a PL-9 short-range air-to-air missile is hung on each wing tip on each side.

In other words, Li Zhan took off with a total of 56 rockets, 4 anti-ship/air-to-surface missiles, 1 medium-range air-to-air missile, 2 close-range combat missiles, and 5 tons of fuel fuel with eight 7-tube 90 mm caliber aviation rocket launchers. The twelve external attachment points were all full, and No. 533 J-15 slid more than 500 meters before Li Zhan pulled it up.

It is simply impossible to take off from an aircraft carrier with such a full load, unless it is a catapult takeoff.

Judging from the complexity of the types of weapons and ammunition mounted, a certain regiment of the Air Force should have taken out all the things at the bottom of their boxes, but this did not make up all the pieces, so they could only adopt a comprehensive combination of domestic/imported. The purpose of that instruction pod is to allow the No. 533 J-15 to be specially mounted with the YJ-83 anti-ship missile, otherwise the J-15 of Soviet origin will not be able to use this domestic anti-ship missile.

The manufacturer is working intensively to solve the final interface problem, so that all subsequent fighters with the bloodline of Soviet Flanker fighters can use all domestic weapons and ammunition.

Li Zhan turned on the afterburner to climb, and when he was fully loaded, he actually soared out of subsonic airspeed, rushing to the sea area at a speed of more than 1,100 kilometers per hour......
