The three J-10A pressure bars lowered their heads, and at the same time opened their deceleration parachutes to slow down the airspeed and retreat like a tide.

"Call 301, xxx request to join the formation, carry out escort mission, over."

Three other requests sounded in his ears in turn, Yang Luo looked at the three fighters flying quickly, and replied, "301 received, allowed to join the formation, pay attention to high-altitude turbulence, alert level two, in case of sudden danger, allow free fire, over." ”

These three fighters are also J-10A, quickly flying over a short distance, crossing a beautiful arc, taking over the position of the previous three J-10A and carrying out escort missions.

The five planes that had reformed the five-plane formation flew silently in the air, and the huge roar of the aircraft engines echoed above the nine heavens, leaving five long-lasting trajectories.

Crossing the endless mountains and mountains in the northwest of Sichuan Province, flying over the Hengduan Mountains, which are named after the "Hengduan" east-west traffic, entering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "Roof of the World", flying over the Kunlun Mountains that are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and finally entering the desert in the northwest.

The escort fighters were also changed again, replaced with three J-7Gs, which were the J-122G handed over to the 161st Regiment by the 7th Regiment, although the nose number was changed, but the number on the tail was still there.

"Old friend, meet again."

Looking at the familiar number on the tail of the plane, Yang Luo said softly.

One of them was the 866 J-7G he had flown over, and the nose number was changed to 001.

Retracting his mind, Yang Luo glanced at the fuel meter, the fuel level was already less than 20, and he connected to the command center and said, "Report to the command center, 301 has less than 20 oil, request to go to the supply point for air refueling, over." ”

"The command center received, the air tanker is waiting 20 kilometers in the direction of you at eleven o'clock, and you can go to refuel, over." The command center has been monitoring the flight of the entire formation and is quick to give a reply.

"301 received, ready to leave the formation to resupply fuel, over."

After Yang Luo replied to the command center, he immediately issued instructions to the formation, "Everyone pay attention, our aircraft fuel alarm, will temporarily leave the formation for air refueling, and the formation is temporarily commanded by Y-03." ”

"XXX received, done."

After hearing all the replies, Yang Luo pushed the throttle valve to increase the power output of the aero engine, and the pressure rod accelerated and dived to the left, breaking away from the formation.

There is also a J-7G behind him in the left rear, which naturally cannot be slowed down and detached, and accelerating to the left dive and detaching is the correct operation.

This time, the air tanker is no longer the Il-78, but is replaced by the H-6 air tanker, which is modified from the H-6 bomber.

The H-6, the work of AVIC Xifei, is the first domestically produced air tanker for the troops, with a maximum take-off weight of 758 tons, a fuel transport capacity of 185 tons, and a combat range of 5,600 kilometers.

Compared with the Il-78 air tanker, its maximum take-off weight, fuel load, combat range, etc. are low, but it has a certain advantage in flight speed, and the maximum speed of the bombardment 6 can reach 1014 kilometers per hour.

Although the overall performance of the H-6 air tanker is relatively backward, the service of the H-6 is still of great significance to the enhancement of China's air combat capability, and has accumulated rich technology and experience for the development of China's future refueling aircraft.

……

More than ten minutes later, the 301 J-10C, which had been rejuvenated after refueling in the air, returned to the side of the Y-20 Kunpeng and continued to carry out escort missions.

After flying for more than an hour, when the fuel of the three J-7Gs was about to be alarmed, the escort team, which had been maintaining a high degree of vigilance, finally escorted the Y-20 carrying highly secret unknown materials to its destination, a military depot located in the depths of the desert with a level of secrecy and top secret

The four-and-a-half-hour escort mission, spanning an ultra-long-distance distance of more than 3,800 kilometers, is finally coming to an end, just waiting for the Y-20 to land successfully.

The journey is safe, no danger or danger.

As the height of the entire formation decreased, the scene on the ground gradually came into view.

Although it was night, the desolation of the desert was visible at a glance, except for the military station and its annexes, there were no other buildings, only the wind and sand in the sky.

This is the desert known as the forbidden zone of life.

More than 10 kilometers away, the military depot was brightly lit and flashed with various directional lights to welcome the arrival of the Y-20.

Which station this is, Yang Luo didn't know, and the specific name of the station was not mentioned in the task, but only a latitude and longitude were given.

Looking down at the military station, there was no feature to be seen, except for two long runways, almost all of the area was covered and nothing could be seen.

The highest level of secrecy, the first level of top secret.

"Call the escort team, this is Y-03, our plane has arrived at its destination and is about to land, thank you very much for your escort, thank you very much, thank you for your hard work."

In the confidential communication channel, the voice of the captain of the Y-20 large transport aircraft was heard, expressing his gratitude to the escort team.

"The escort team received, you are too polite, they are all in the service of the people, Y-03, goodbye." Yang Luo said with a smile.

The end of the escort mission means that this assessment will also end.

As the huge Y-20 Kunpeng entered the field and landed, the four fighters also turned around and prepared to return home.

"001, how does the flight of the J-7G feel?" Yang Luo looked at the three J-7Gs that were about to leave, and suddenly asked out loud.

"Who are you?" The pilot of the 001 J-7G was stunned, blurted out, and then hurriedly said, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked, the flight feeling of the J-7G is very good, much better than the J-7E." ”

"Your J-7G used to be my car, cherish it, this may be the only J-7 fighter that escaped the missile pursuit." Yang Luo smiled and said, "Three, goodbye." ”

Immediately with a pull rod, the 301 J-10C accelerated and climbed away.

"It turned out to be your ......"

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar J-10 fighter that was quickly leaving, 001's mind came to mind a scene from a few months ago, a very young pilot got off the J-7G under him and handed it over to the 161st regiment.

……

301 J-10C bid farewell to the three J-7G, after more than a minute of high-speed climbing, back to 10,000 meters in the air, Yang Luo reported to the command center, "Report to the command center, 301 completed the escort mission, please instruct, over." ”

"The command center received, 301, congratulations on your victory in passing the assessment, you are the 12th pilot to pass the assessment." The commander smiled and congratulated.

"301 received, thank you." Yang Luo returned, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Now you can go home, the route has been set up, and it has been sent to you."

"301 received, ready to return."

Looking up at the bright starry sky, Yang Luo was in a good mood, and took out a cup of coffee and drank it.

Coffee in the in-flight meal is just to refresh your mind.

At this time, it was already half past three in the morning, and the ultra-long assessment was finally successfully completed, and then, there was still nearly 5,000 kilometers to return home, which was also a very difficult task.
