It happened very suddenly, about 0.5 seconds.

The four-plane formation flying at an ultra-low altitude below the "cushion" altitude is a wave-like rapid jump altitude ready to fly, and the three wingmen follow the long plane movements, with time intervals of no more than one second.

Just as Li Zhan was able to leap his gaze over the densely wooded "cushions", he clearly saw a large group of black shadows suddenly rushing out of the woods, and they flew very quickly to a height higher than him. And what he instantly thought of was that Dai Mengmin, who was twenty meters taller than him behind him, was in danger of hitting the birds, because it was difficult for Dai Mengmin to find this group of birds in time because of his blocking, and when Dai Mengmin found out, he was unable to react in time.

As it turned out, Dai Mengmin simply didn't have enough time to react when he saw the flock of birds rushing in his face.

If Li Zhan didn't do anything, he wouldn't have done anything, because his flight altitude was lower than the position of the flock of birds, and he could see it clearly. But in this way, Dai Mengmin will definitely be attacked by birds. When a fighter plane with an airspeed of hundreds of kilometers collides, those birds are equal to a flock of bullets, which will bring devastating disasters to the fighter.

Li Zhan's nerves, which had been cultivated through many dangerous situations, were strong and sharp, and he chose to bear all this in place of Dai Mengmin without even thinking about it.

It's not that he thinks he's better able to resolve emergencies than Dai Mengmin, but because it's a responsibility, a teacher's responsibility!

There is no exception in the accidents encountered in previous teaching flights, if you want to choose one of the two, the instructor will definitely let the student eject first!

This is the responsibility of veterans and superiors!

Any instructor in the squadron will not hesitate to rush forward when faced with the same situation. In the Army, recruits must have a company commander or instructor by their side to serve as a safety officer when throwing live ammunition, is this simply because the company commander instructor is more experienced?

No.

It's because of the natural responsibility of being the commander of the company!

The grenade accidentally slipped and the company commander desperately dragged the recruit into the pit or threw him down, using his body as a shield, isn't the company commander afraid of death?

This is the fighting style of the squadron "with Lao Tzu". Some people refer to a certain country as a fighting nation, and they know that the country's citizens and army are hard-core, but in fact they are very superficial. The Chinese are afraid of themselves! It's just that our national character is low-key and subtle, and we don't like to show our fists everywhere!

Some people don't know how ruthless the Chinese ** people are in the war.

Li Zhan made such a choice without thinking about it at all, but a subconscious absolute reaction, and the manipulation action did not drag the slightest mud and water, and there was no half ineffective action.

In an instant, he climbed the super-large slope at full throttle, and he rushed towards the flock of birds at an 80-degree elevation angle with an acceleration starting at 600 kilometers per hour.

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Dai Mengmin pressure slope avoidance!" ”

Absolutely correct instructions to the point.

Dai Mengmin heard this command immediately after seeing the change in the attitude of the long plane, he almost subconsciously pressed the lever, and the fighter plane dropped to a height of dozens of meters in an instant, and he looked up after quickly leveling off, the long plane collided with the flock of birds, and the black group of birds just crashed under the wings of the belly of the long plane. He could clearly see that the wings of the long plane had been pierced several holes, and some light smoke was rising in an instant.

The whole process takes place in less than two seconds.

The three wingmen were safe, quickly climbing altitude to slow down the airspeed.

At this time, Li Zhan's cockpit was filled with various alarm sounds, and all the warning lights on the instrument panel seemed to be flashing.

"Oh, the flap fails, the hydraulic system fails, the air intake decreases, the left fire alarm, I'll see, the two wings are broken down, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven penetrations are found visually, the backup hydraulic system is activated, the start is successful, the left engine is closed, the left engine is closed, and the oil supply ...... the left engine is cut off"

"Two crutches! What a situation! Two crutches! ”

When Li Zhan was dealing with the danger, he reported his handling actions, and at this time, Guibei Tower didn't know what was going on.

"I hit the birds, a large flock of birds, the plane is barely controllable, but most of my flaps are scrapped, the left hair is scrapped, the air intake is reduced, I request an alternate landing at the Zhongnan station, repeat, I want to land at the nearest Zhongnan station." Li Zhan was very calm, and there was not the slightest nervousness in his tone.

Dai Mengmin's eyes were red, staring at Li Zhan's landline, the plane seemed to be covered by anti-aircraft artillery and shot, and there were holes everywhere, so it could still fly. But the failure of the hydraulic system and the failure of most of the flaps means that the plane is only a small step away from completely losing control, and perhaps the next second it will completely fall out of the pilot's control.

"I'm at height, and I can go up some height." Li Zhan tried to pull up to gain height, and the more height there was, the more time he had, he found that Liang Jiahui, Quan Yudong and Dai Mengmin were all following, and immediately gave an order, "Liang Jiahui Quan Yudong will return immediately, the training has been suspended, and Dai Mengmin will follow me." ”

"Instructor! I'm following you! Leung Jiahui insisted without hesitation.

Quan Yudong also gritted his teeth and said, "We will guide you to alternate landing!" ”

"Obey orders!" Li Zhan said solemnly.

The two had to turn around and return home.

"Two crutches! Immediately divert to the central south! Be ready to skydive at any time! Don't hold it up! We have no shortage of planes right now! Tang Guozheng, who was sitting in the tower, decisively took over the command and solemnly commanded.

Li Zhan said, "The plane is controllable for the time being, please rest assured, I will make the right choice when I should abandon the plane and parachute." ”

It is more than 500 kilometers away from Guibeichang Station, but only more than 100 kilometers away from Zhongnanchang Station. The name of Zhongnanchang Station is atmospheric, but in fact it is only a small station, the establishment is the same as that of Nankuchang Station, it is a small station at the Zhengying level, but the place is not as big as Nankuchang Station, and the runway is much shorter, only 1,200 meters.

For a heavy fighter with most of its flaps failing, a runway of 1,200 meters seems a bit short. Flap failure means that the ability to slow down is greatly affected, and it is not even possible to land at the normal rate of descent.

The problem with the runway is not only that it is not long enough, but also that the end of the runway is surrounded by cliffs on both sides, and there is no buffer distance.

The Zhongnan station has not had a take-off and landing fighter for many years, and it has been used as an alternate landing station, and unless it is particularly urgent, even if it is to be diverted, it will try not to choose here. The layout of this station is very peculiar, the outfield and the infield are separated, one at the top of the mountain and the other at the bottom of the mountain, connected by a war road.

The most peculiar thing is the terrain of the mountain where the outfield is located, because of the terrain restrictions, the runway can only be built to a length of 1,200 meters, and the front and back are facing cliffs, and down is a canyon about a thousand meters deep. In the past, when the J-6 was used in large quantities, this station was very busy, and a whole regiment of flying troops was once deployed. At that time, a whole regiment of J-6s had thirty or forty aircraft, which was truly powerful air power. In the sixties and seventies, this station was even quite important inland support air base. At that time, due to geopolitical changes, China was ready for a long-term war of resistance against the front-line occupation, and a large number of resources were concentrated inland.

With the entry into service of the J-7 and J-8, which have a long take-off and landing running distance, this station has slowly been abandoned. For a while, there was only one squad of soldiers guarding, but it was slowly re-enriched and used as an alternate landing station.

Another major reason for the gradual loss of the important role of this station is that a new civil aviation airport has been built near the Zhongnan station, which is an important tourist airport, and the straight-line distance is only 20 kilometers. In fact, the outfield of Zhongnanba Station is located on one side of the tourist airport.

Dozens of flights take off and land every day at the tourist airport, which is an important support for the local tourism transportation network. In order to support the economic construction of the local area, the Zhongnan Station can no longer be used normally under any circumstances.

Therefore, the Air Force Regional Air Traffic Control Center immediately notified the tourist airport to carry out departure control.

Ding Lin is the attendant of the ground control command seat of the tourist airport today, she is twenty-eight years old, she has outstanding advantages, standing there cold and cold with her arms in professional clothes, short hair looks capable, and the situation of convex and backward and outstanding appearance has won her an unofficial honor: the flower of control. When she was still a newcomer, she often had a chance to tease her when she sat on the floor control seat.

After six or seven years of experience, she stepped into the post of commander, and dozens of planes worth tens of billions of dollars every day are under her control as long as they are on the ground.

This is a woman with strong self-confidence.

"The sea surface aviation turns around the hole, waiting outside the runway, three six left."

"Understand, 36 left, waiting outside the runway, sea aviation turning holes."

The work is going on normally, and every seat is as rigorous and serious as ever, and I dare not relax in the slightest. The tourist airport is also a mountainous airport, which is built in the mountains and leveled a place, and the difficulty of taking off and landing is much greater than that in the plain area, so it puts forward higher requirements for the command and control department of the airport.

The assistant suddenly stood up and reported to Ding Lin, "Sister, the upper authorities have asked for the implementation of exit control, saying that the Air Force has activities on the side. ”

"Air Force?" Ding Lin was stunned, "Isn't that airport deserted?" How can there be an event? ”

Assistant Xi Meizhi said, "Yes, I haven't encountered this situation for many years, I don't know what the situation is?" ”

Ding Lin said, "Hold it down, and wait all in place." ”

"Yes!" The assistant conductor immediately executed.

Regardless of the activities of the Air Force, the directive must be carried out.

Normal take-off and landing activities at tourist airports were abruptly suspended.

Not long after, Ding Lin received an order from his boss, "The planes on the runway are called back, and all the planes are returned to the tarmac to clear the flight area." ”

"Yes!" Ding Lin didn't ask why, nor did she hesitate at all, and immediately implemented the order.

Soon, all the planes waiting on the runway take-off line, outside the runway, on the taxiway returned to the tarmac, and the flight area of the tourist airport was emptied.

Although the boss did not give clear instructions, it was immediately clear that this was preparing for an alternate landing, that is, an aircraft had to be urgently diverted to the main field. But she didn't know that it was just a second backup plan.

The planes waiting for takeoff were full of passengers, and some frequent flyers noticed that the planes waiting for takeoff on the runway were back to the tarmac and immediately realized that they had encountered a major control. There are many factors that contribute to flight delays, the most common being weather conditions. In recent years, with the increase and diversification of the training volume of the air force units, the air traffic control carried out because of the activities of the air force has gradually increased. Gradually, everyone got used to it, but there are still people who don't get tired of it, and the flight attendants inevitably have some patient persuasion.

These are all prepared for Li Zhan.

If Zhongnanchang Station can't land, it will be alternated to the tourist airport, which is the second plan, and abandoning the plane and parachuting is the third plan. All of this was done within minutes of receiving the report of the danger at the Gyeongbei Tower, which was very efficient.

Li Zhan's situation was very difficult, and he found that the plane's flight control system had become stiff. To put it bluntly, the plane is a little disobedient.

"Instructor, it's fifty kilometers, and Zhongnanchang is standing fifty kilometers in front of you." Dai Mengmin reminded Li Zhan that most of the latter's dashboard data was out of order, and Li Zhan had no way to determine the location of the alternate landing field. Dai Mengmin played the role of instruction and guidance.

Li Zhan visually measured the height, the sea height was about more than 800 meters, and the relative height was only two or three hundred meters. However, it is very difficult to successfully navigate around the flight control system when it is out of order.

He clearly felt that the joystick was getting stiffer and stiffer, and it was becoming more and more difficult to change the flight attitude.

"It's Tianmen Mountain in front, right?" Li Zhan asked solemnly.

Dai Mengmin sighed in his heart and said, "Yes, Tianmen Mountain is seven kilometers, instructor." Can you still go up to the height, you can't fly over Tianmen Mountain at the current altitude. ”

The Tianmen Mountains and Seas are 1,500 meters high, and Li Zhan's current flight altitude is impossible to fly. There is no second way but to get around.

Li Zhan tried to push the rudder.

The only rudder surface is the key rudder surface that controls the left and right turn of the aircraft, and cooperates with the rudder surface of the two wings, as well as the pitch angle and inclination angle to quickly change the steering of the fighter.

The rudder surfaces of the two wings basically failed, and the rudder surfaces of the vertical tail were very difficult to change, but Li Zhan soon found that the fighter plane was shaking very badly because of this, and there was a strong tendency to develop out of control.

He decisively stopped pedaling the rudder, and the fighter quickly returned to a stable flight attitude. Obviously, there was also a problem with the rudder surface of the vertical tail.

At an airspeed of more than 280 kilometers per hour, the fighter plane flew straight toward Tianmen Mountain.

The situation is urgent.

"Two crutches, if you can't fly to Tianmen Mountain, you have to abandon the plane decisively." Tang Guozheng watched the small dots on the radar display screen quickly rush towards Tianmen Mountain.

"I understand that I can't avoid it, I can't go to the height, I'll think about it again." Li Zhan replied.

Do you really want to abandon your phone?

The first danger encountered by the Second Division was to hit a bird, and when he landed and flew three sides, he hit a villager's pigeon and directly caused a crash, and at the last moment, he pulled a pole to save the people on the ground, which was also his first first-class merit.

Formally, when he returned to the Second Division, he took off again to carry out a teaching mission and hit a bird, couldn't he escape the curse-like crash?

Today is not what it used to be, there must be another way.

He remembered the cave in Tianmen Mountain, and his eyes slowly lit up.

The height of that hole is about the same as his flight height, so you can walk through it, and as long as you pass through it, the front is basically barrier-free!
