Since the last telegram sent back by the working group before it was detained, the central authorities have lost contact with the Fourth Front Army, and after this period of time, they do not know where they have fled, but can only roughly estimate a direction, if they go directly to find it like this, I don't know how much time it will take, so the Central Committee has decided to need Li Keji to determine the specific location of the headquarters of the Fourth Front Army before officially setting off.

In this regard, Li Keji naturally has no doubt that in the era when there is no ground-based radar, it is not so simple for him to search for the four aspects from high altitudes, and it is too much waste of time to bring the central leadership with him before he finds them.

After Li Keji accepted the arrangements of the central authorities, the chairman began to explain to him the possible location of the Fourth Front Army now, and asked him to focus on reconnaissance and find the headquarters of the Fourth Front Army in the shortest possible time.

After listening to the advice of the main chair and the map drawn by the main chair of his subordinates, Li Keji stood up and saluted, and replied sonorously: "I promise to complete the task." ”

"Xiao Li, this time it's going to be hard for you again, the original reconnaissance mission shouldn't have bothered you, but now except for you, no one in the army can fly the Osprey helicopter, this is a helpless way." Before leaving, the host Xi Xi grabbed Li Keji's hands and said guiltily.

"Your Excellency, this was originally my suggestion, no matter how troublesome it is, as long as it can contribute to the revolution, I am willing to do anything." Although Li Keji likes his daily life very much, and he spends more time studying every day than others, he always tenses his nerves, and he will inevitably feel tired after a long time.

"That's not to say, compared to your achievements during this time, the reconnaissance mission is overkill, these days, you have trained a lot of technical personnel for the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army." The presiding minister continued.

"Although cultivating talents is important, it is not so urgent compared to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Fourth Front Army." Cultivating technical personnel for the Datong Party is indeed a point that Li Keji has always emphasized, but he still knows the priorities.

Because it was the first time to go out on a mission, there were many central bigwigs at the farewell ceremony, and the thirty-two elite soldiers and Li Keji boarded the plane one by one under the gaze of the main seat and others, and before starting the Osprey helicopter, Li Keji made a sign of success to the main seat in the wheelhouse.

After seeing the main seat waving in response, Li Keji turned around and reminded the soldiers in the cabin to check whether the seat belts were tied again, and after making sure that they were all ready, he explained the various operation buttons and instruction instruments in the cab to Lu Wei, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and carried out simple science popularization and teaching.

Since following Li Keji, Lovells has learned a lot of things, such as driving cars and motorcycles, although it is very exciting, he is inevitably a little frightened every time, afraid that he will not be able to do well.

This time Li Keji is going to teach him how to fly the Osprey helicopter, and his heart is even more nervous, he never dared to think that he could learn to fly an airplane, but since it is Li Keji's request, he just can't do it and has to bite the bullet, don't care if he understands it or not, whether he can learn it or not, as long as it is what Li Keji said, he will memorize it by rote.

As an intelligence officer, his quick memory ability is not bad, so he can learn to drive cars and motorcycles so quickly, this time Li Keji began to explain, he memorized it seriously.

Unlike usual, because he was flying in the sky, the danger was countless times higher than that on the ground, Li Keji did not let him move casually, but asked him to honestly remember everything Li Keji said, and it was still a long time for him to test fly.

Under the watchful eye of the central boss, the Osprey helicopter successfully took off, and after slowly climbing to a certain height, it flew directly to the south, and after a while, it turned over the distant mountain and disappeared in the eyes of everyone.

In the era when there was no ground-based radar, the Air Force could only rely on the experience of pilots most of the time, and the sense of direction was a little worse, and after a few turns in the air, it might be confused. It's like playing a game without a minimap, and many people will be blind when they encounter complex terrain. In order to simplify the player's operation, the game company directly came up with an automatic pathfinding system, the player only needs to click the mouse, and the game character will automatically run to the mission location.

Similar to the game, among the tools used by human beings, whether military or civilian, the simpler the operation, the more popular, and the more stupid the way to put it down, just like a camera, in the past, non-professionals could not adjust the focus, and the effect of the photo was not as good as that of professionals.

This is how Li Keji felt when he first learned to fly the Osprey helicopter, although the Osprey helicopter was equipped with cutting-edge equipment and lacked the support of ground troops, he always had a feeling that he could not use it when he was in the sky.

The lack of a "minimap" made him lose his sense of direction for a long time at the beginning, and he also lost a lot of planes because of it.

After a long period of training, Li Keji finally mastered the trick, and the flight was still mainly low-altitude, and with the ground reference, he knew whether the direction of his flight was right or wrong.

When he accepted the mission, the chief minister had already told him that it was very likely that the Fourth Front Army had been transferred to Kangding, Ganzi and other places in Xikang.

Due to the arrival of Li Keji, the central government mentioned that it knew about the fiasco of the Fourth Front Army, so in the contact with the Fourth Front Army, he had been persuading the Fourth Front Army to return north, and his attitude was much tougher than in history, which also made Zhang Guotao more eager to prove himself right to the Central Committee, causing the Fourth Front Army to fight more fiercely and fiercely than in history in the process of going south.

Although the results of the battle were much higher than in history, the casualties were also more shocking, so the central government sent a working group south at the same time as the telegram, hoping to save Zhang Guotao, who was bent on going his own way.

At the same time, the People's Party army was completely annihilated by six elite cavalry regiments when encircling and suppressing the Central Red Army, causing the surrounding People's Party troops not to be able to understand the situation of the Central Red Army and did not dare to advance, but instead concentrated their forces on dealing with the Southbound Fourth Front Army.

Although the Fourth Front Army was overwhelmed at the beginning, after the warlords in Sichuan concentrated their forces and the People's Party's Xue Yue column joined the battle, the Fourth Front Army showed fatigue. With the consumption of a large amount of ammunition and a large number of wounded, the Fourth Front Army lost the first battle at Baizhang Pass and had to choose to retreat westward.

According to the speculation of the chairman, it is very likely that the Fourth Front Army will retreat to Kangding, Ganzi and other places in Xikang, which is the most important goal of Li Keji's trip.

As a tiltrotor aircraft, the Osprey helicopter is faster than conventional helicopters, cruising at speeds of up to 509 km/h, and even exceeding 650 km/h at a maximum speed.

If he flies at full speed, Li Keji doesn't need much time, but since it is reconnaissance, it is also one of his tasks to check the situation in the white area along the way, after all, the more information he knows, the greater the safety of the four fronts returning north.

Compared with conventional helicopters, Osprey helicopters are not only fast but also much quieter, hovering at an altitude of 150 meters, its noise is only 80 decibels, which is only equivalent to the noise emitted by a truck 30 meters away. Therefore, if it is not for someone with a heart, the chance of being discovered is not too great, and Li Keji can carry out reconnaissance work calmly.

Although the range of the Osprey helicopter is more than 1,850 kilometers, the long-term flight will also make the soldiers in the cabin feel unwell.

After landing on a flat hilltop, Li Keji immediately smiled and asked the soldiers how they felt, whether they were unwell or airsick, and the soldiers not only said no, but most of them couldn't hide their excitement on their faces.

Excitement is excitement, and when he stopped to rest, as the commander of the thirty-two soldiers, Miao Hao still arranged a vigilance, and did not dare to relax his vigilance at any time, although the place where Li Keji chose to land was almost inhabited.

The soldiers were on alert and resting, but Li Keji found Lu Wei and asked him how many things he had memorized. Like the elementary school student who was checked by the teacher, Lu Wei intermittently poured out everything he remembered.

After Lu Wei finished speaking, Li Keji was very surprised, helicopter driving is not as complicated as car driving, not only the operation is much more complicated, but also requires a lot of professional knowledge, these things even for a person with a good education in the future will take a long time to learn, but Lu Wei is based on his good memory to rote memorization.

After inspecting Lu Wei's "homework", Li Keji had to sigh again that the people of this era are far from being comparable to the flowers in the greenhouses of later generations in terms of their learning spirit and attitude. One learns actively, the other is forced to learn, and the learning effect can be imagined who is better.

Before taking off again, Li Keji checked again, which was the standard before the plane took off, and Lu Wei naturally followed suit.

After the inspection, Li Keji refilled the fuel tank, this time there were people around him, and he couldn't take it out of the portable base directly, so he chose the "airdrop" in the last blockade battle.

After taking off again, Li Keji continued to search Kangding and Ganzi while advancing, and after landing and taking off several times, he finally found traces of the Fourth Front Army in Ganzi.

In fact, it was not that they discovered the traces of the Fourth Front Army, but that they were first discovered by the soldiers of the Fourth Front Army, and they were also used by the Four Front Army as a plane of the People's Party to carry out an air salvo, which frightened Li Keji to instantly pull up the height of the plane.
