The western coastline looks like a crooked line drawn by a beginner elementary school student, the water along the shore turns yellow, and the water goes deeper and bluer until it turns dark green.

Mole Wayne's captain seat hung a bilingual calendar in Chinese and English on the left side, he picked up the pen and marked the date of the day heavily, and looked up to the right. The co-pilot, Jimmy Mouse, chewed gum and crackled his mouth and said, "Today is Christmas for Chinese?" I think they must hate us to death. ”

"Chinese New Year's Eve." "From this day forward, the country will be a different place, with shops closing, businesses closing, government agencies necessary to keep a minimum of personnel, people doing nothing but eating more good food and traveling to more places, and they will even keep it for seven to fifteen days." ”

Jimmy's knowledge of China, which exists only in domestic media reports, was shocked, "Their government is bankrupt and shut down? Will they be like that too? Oh, my God. ”

"No, they call it the Spring Festival." Wayne said.

An afterimage flickered by.

Immediately after that, the voice of the Chinese suddenly sounded in the international general channel, "Attention! I am the Chinese Air Force! You're about to enter my airspace! Please leave immediately! ”

This was followed by a thousand warnings in English.

The briefing of Charlie, the head of reconnaissance, came at the right time, "The young pilot of the 4th regiment, aircraft number 070. ”

"It turned out to be him." Jimmy smiled slightly and tilted his head to look at Wayne, "Wayne, let me try?" ”

Nie Jianfeng's fighter exceeded the EP-3 and exposed most of the fuselage, and the August 1st military emblem on the fuselage shone in the sun, and the fuselage number was very conspicuous. When Nie Jianfeng saw the RP-41 number on the EP-3, he also realized that he had met an old opponent. This RP-41's peep is a "regular" and often runs over to make trouble.

Wayne frowned and said, "Didn't you notice that one plane passed just now, and they came two." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Jimmy said he hadn't noticed.

Nie Jianfeng pressed onto the EP-3's route and issued another warning.

Just as Wayne was about to press the bar to descend in height, his heart throbbed inexplicably, and he always felt that something was wrong. Then, he and Jimmy strangely noticed that the sunlight projected on the dashboard was disappearing little by little. The J-7E pressing on the route suddenly had a beautiful drum, and the rapid descent height quickly disappeared into the clouds.

"Oh my God! Head! Head! Jimmy shouted in horror, pointing to the top of his head.

Wayne was stunned to find that another J-7E was overhead, and the altitude difference with the EP-3 was very, very small, it was his fuselage that blocked the sunlight at noon!

The J-7E slowly overtook almost against the back of the EP-3 until Wayne could clearly see the tail flame spewed out from the J-7E engine nozzle as if it was almost baking his windshield! He suddenly remembered the last time the right hatch glass had been shattered!

"One last warning! RP-41, you are about to enter Chinese airspace, please leave immediately! ”

Immediately, Charlie's panicked cry appeared in the internal channel, "It's a mad dog!" shi-t！ It's a mad dog! ”

Wayne finally understood why there were inexplicable heart palpitations, and he didn't hesitate anymore, decisively slowed down, lowered his altitude, and avoided the J-7E riding on his body from a distance.

"Is he crazy, he's such a mad dog!" Jimmy's heart was about to jump out, his muscles tensed, and his eyes widened, "No! No! How could he still fly? He deserves to be punished! You must know that last time his provocation almost caused a collision! ”

Wayne didn't have time to deal with Jimmy, who didn't know the situation at all, and asked the base directly, "Eagle's Nest Eagle's Nest, this is a mole, I have to go back." Repeat, I ask to return. Complete. ”

The Eagle's Nest replied, "This is the Eagle's Nest, are you having any problems?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Wayne suddenly became irritable, "I ask to return!" Damn it! Get me out of here! ”

Perhaps it was a report from Charlie, and after about a minute or so, the Eagle's Nest replied that the mole had returned.

Wayne operated the EP-3 far from the shoreline, returned to the cruising altitude, and set the data for automatic flight, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged his arms and was afraid. A young man like Jimmy doesn't know the depth of this, and may only think that he has encountered a crazy Chinese Air Force pilot, but he obviously doesn't know that the reappearance of the "mad dog" means that the attitude of the Chinese Air Force towards dealing with such incidents has changed very much!

He didn't want to stay in the South China Sea forever.

Confirming that the EP-3 had entered the international airspace, Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng returned before the fuel level reached the warning value. He and Nie Jianfeng played a perfect match. First, he swept the target's route at high speed to create pressure, and then Nie Jianfeng used the usual disposal method to warn. Using Nie Jianfeng's cover, Li Zhan quietly circled back, pressed the route from the direction of the rear hemisphere of the EP-3 and quietly came over, and flew under the EP-3 for more than ten seconds, and the altitude difference was only about ten meters at the nearest time. Finally, it suddenly appeared, completely defeating the target's psychological defenses.

There are not many measures that can be taken, and even fewer methods can be used in the case of two ineffective warnings, which is also the most difficult problem encountered by front-line pilots in dealing with the air situation in ordinary times. Trying to break down the opponent's psychological defense line now seems to have a good effect, and EP-3 ran away without even informing his accomplices.

However, Nie Jianfeng knew that if he changed positions, he would not be able to complete such a difficult flight maneuver, and Li Zhan's operation of the J-7E was like making his limbs as familiar and natural, and he was very convinced.

"Cumulonimbus clouds in this field, holes and holes, look carefully before landing." When the two-plane formation descended to the altitude and was about to make a turn, the tower suddenly reported.

Civil aviation refers to the take-off and landing routes as the five sides, and the air force fighter jets are directly called by the order of turning, which is often one turn, two turns, three turns and four turns. In the case of the J-7, it is usually aimed at the runway at the fourth turn. The Air Force's large aircraft, such as transport aircraft, are basically the same as those of civil aviation.

All in all, the behavior is basically the same, but the name is different.

Xixian County is located at the northern end of the tropics, is a tropical marine climate, generally speaking, the weather around the Spring Festival is relatively stable, cloudy, cloudy, light rain, like the sudden appearance of cumulonimbus clouds at this time is very rare.

Nie Jianfeng said, "How high?" ”

"Five hundred in height." The tower replied.

Keep the air-ground conversation as concise as possible, saving even a second of your time is very important for flying, especially when flying a fighter jet. Nie Jianfeng asked about the height at this time, obviously asking the height of the cumulonimbus clouds. This altitude is right on the landing course.

"Tower, two holes and nine requests to land."

Something else happened.

Nie Jianfeng immediately heard that it was Zhang Xueyang's voice, and he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

Zhang Wei, who was on duty at the tower, turned his head to look at the location on the radar display screen and asked, "Two holes and nine, are you sure?" ”

"No problem." Zhang Xueyang's confident and calm voice sounded again.

Zhang Wei got the approval of the commander and replied, "Two holes and nines, you can land, pay attention to the speed." ”

It means to remind Zhang Xueyang to maintain speed and be ready to fly back at any time. There is no shame in returning to the field in bad weather, and there are many weather changes that cannot be predicted in advance by the meteorological station. In fact, there is only a limit to what a weather station can do, and it is usually only responsible for the direction of take-off. For example, if the weather station reports that there is a headwind to the north today, the take-off direction must be north, and if your commander does not fly in this direction, the weather station will not be responsible for the accident, and vice versa. As we all know, the direction of take-off and landing must be the same, and the direction from which to take off is to land from which direction, and the tower commander cannot change it at will.

In fact, as a qualified pilot, the first thing you need to have is to understand the impact of different weather conditions on flying. However, the military has always regarded whether or not a pilot can conduct combat flights under complex meteorological conditions as a judge of whether a pilot has reached the "trump card" standard.

On the other hand, take-off and landing has always been the most basic skill of pilots, and it is also the most common subject that can test ability.

Li Zhan followed the long plane to climb slightly into the sky above the east side of the runway, left the take-off and landing airspace, that is, entered the circle on the right side, and gave up the landing route to Zhang Xueyang's formation. He couldn't help but glance at the fuel balance, which had dropped to the warning value. For Zhang Xueyang, Li Zhan had an evaluation in his heart - he had no overall view.

In such meteorological conditions, the SU-27, which has more fuel reserves, should take the initiative to cover the landing of the relatively short-legged J-7E, instead of being in the limelight in this situation.

It was raining, and when I looked down from the air, I saw a beautiful three-dimensional picture of the sun and rain. I saw that the flight area was black with a line of rain falling, and the sun was shining in the living area, and the clear boundary in the middle happened to pass the tower, and the red flag hanging on the flagpole on the tower was waving under the sun. The sun and rain, which are rare in winter, appeared for a short time.

Zhang Xueyang operated the SU-27, skillfully a dragonfly point of water, the main landing gear landed steadily, the current landing gear landed, he threw the deceleration parachute in the tail vertebrae, the fighter slid out hundreds of meters, disconnected the towed parachute, turned into the taxiway, and his wingman landed closely behind. The ground crew drove the commuter car to quickly pull the parachute away, so that the runway was back up to the standard of landing.

"I called the gas police." Li Zhan reported.

Zhang Wei of the tower tightened his heart and asked, "Dong San Gui, can you land?" ”

Li Zhan replied, "I'm fine. ”

Because he flew longer than Nie Jianfeng's, he burned fuel faster. In fact, Nie Jianfeng's fuel margin is not much. Compared with the J-7, the J-7E has an increased fuel load and an increased range of about seven hundred kilometers. But despite this, the combat radius can only extend to about eight hundred kilometers. It is fundamentally incomparable with the SU-27, which has a combat radius of 1,200 km. Zhang Xueyang's formation only took off one step earlier than Li Zhan and them, so their fuel margin was very abundant.

Although he had only joined the Second Division, the leaders at the two levels of the division and regiment were familiar with the name Li Zhan. At this time, the commander nodded slightly, and Zhang Wei immediately replied to Li Zhan: "The hole has three turns, you can land, pay attention to the crosswind of the four turns." ”

"Dong San Gui understands." Li Zhan looked at Nie Jianfeng and said, "Team Nie, I'll land first." ”

"Okay." Nie Jianfeng was ready to cover Li Zhan, "I'll cover you." ”

"Understood!"

Li Zhan made a left turn into the fourth turn and slowly lowered the pole, focusing mainly on the speedometer and altimeter, while taking into account the situation of the 500-meter low cumulonimbus cloud. The fighter plane tilted into the clouds, and the fuselage immediately shook violently, and the air flow in the clouds was stronger than expected, and accompanied by a strong crosswind.

The tower could see Plane 037 swaying from side to side in mid-air, with a large amplitude. Zhang Wei was heartfelt and hurriedly asked, "Is it okay to turn around in the third hole?" Is it okay to turn around in the third hole? Your flight attitude is not very good! ”

J-7 series fighters use a delta wing aerodynamic layout, the advantage of this aerodynamic layout is high altitude and high speed, the disadvantage is that low altitude and low speed are very poor, on the other hand, the aircraft belongs to the light fighter, and SU-27 uses a conventional aerodynamic layout, belongs to the heavy fighter, the fuselage weight is too light at this time is not a good thing.

At this time, in the eyes of the tower duty officer, the No. 037 aircraft was shaking violently in a state where the fuselage was tilted nearly forty degrees, and this state was very prone to stalling! Stalling at an altitude of 500 meters is basically equivalent to the destruction of the plane and the death of people!

"Three turns in the hole, push the throttle and pull it up!" The head of the shift, who is also the commander, took the microphone and gave instructions directly to Li Zhan.

Li Zhan's voice was very calm, "I don't have enough oil." ”

This is a phrase that everyone can hear.

Zhang Xueyang, who was sitting in the cockpit, was about to take off his helmet, when he heard this, he was stunned, raised his eyes to the sky, and the No. 037 J-7E was looming in the clouds......
