Xu Feng was shocked when he heard this report, and hurriedly said, "Quickly report the location of the target." ”

The pilot of the 07 fighter immediately reported: "The target position is 15 degrees east-south, an altitude of 1,000 meters, and a distance of 400 kilometers. ”

Xu Feng thought to himself, "Is this target reported by the 07 fighter the Emperor's plane or the interference caused by the clutter on the sea surface?" It's impossible to judge now, so let's not let the big troops go over first, let's send two planes to see if we want to. Xu Feng then ordered: "Dong Gui, Dong Ba, go out to reconnoitre." ”

The pilots of the two fighters agreed to come down and sail towards the target, while the other planes continued to fly in the direction of Nandadong Island, and ten minutes later, the pilot of the No. 07 fighter sent a message: "Report the hole, the target signal has not appeared again, it should be sea surface clutter." ”

Xu Feng was not too disappointed, but said: "Keep the course and continue to reconnoitre." The group flew for more than ten minutes, and the No. 05 fighter took another sea clutter as a target plane, and found nothing, Xu Feng couldn't help but worry that the group might have flown over the emperor's plane, and now they were in front of the emperor's plane, and due to the influence of the sea clutter, they did not find the emperor's plane.

At this moment, an echo signal suddenly appeared on Xu Feng's radar screen, Xu Feng didn't care about it at first, but then this echo signal became clear, Xu Feng took a deep breath, and thought in his heart: "This target is likely to be the plane that the emperor has been looking for." ”

Xu Feng operated a few times on the radar display, and soon the target's orientation and distance information were displayed, the target was 270 kilometers away from his landline, the direction was due south, just in the direction of Nandadong Island, Xu Feng stretched out his hand to open the storage box, there was a telescope in the storage box, the pilot generally used a telescope in order to be able to find a farther target, and the telescope could not be placed in the cabin casually, because the plane would fly up when doing various maneuvers, so the telescope must be placed in the storage box.

Xu Feng picked up the telescope and looked due south, only to see a white cloud, Xu Feng picked up the communicator and said: "I'm Dong Yu, call Dong Liang, you follow me to fly due south, searching for suspicious targets." Xu Feng immediately increased the throttle and flew due south.

When approaching the cloud area, the clutter suddenly increased, and the original target found was also hidden on the radar display screen, and in a blink of an eye, Xu Feng flew into the cloud area, with the white clouds blocking, the visibility was instantly reduced to less than five kilometers, Xu Feng thought in his heart: "The pilot of the emperor's plane should not dare to fly in such a cloud area, right?" He should fly down the clouds. ”

Xu Feng then used the communicator to say to the pilot of Plane 02 behind him: "Let's go under the clouds." After speaking, he pressed the steering stick and flew the fighter out of the clouds, at this time the target on the radar screen was clearer, Xu Feng looked towards the direction of the target, only to see that in the blue sea as the background, a black shadow was moving to the south, Xu Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart, picked up the telescope and looked at the black dot, only to see a vague outline of the plane appeared in front of him!

Xu Feng hurriedly increased the throttle to let the plane accelerate closer to the plane, and at the same time turned on the light spot detection device on the plane to observe the plane, only to see that it was a propeller plane, the fuselage was not big, it was not small, it was neither like a transport plane nor a fighter; Single vertical tail, single wing straight wing, aerodynamic layout is decent; The landing gear of this aircraft is two pontoons, which obviously have the ability to take off and land on water.

The fuselage was painted blue-gray paint, there was no flag or insignia, not even a number, and in short, nothing could have individually identified the plane.

Xu Feng adjusted the pulse repetition rate of the airborne phased array radar, so that the radar could measure the speed more accurately, and then measure the speed of this aircraft - Mach 0.5, which is not slow in a propeller plane, Xu Feng slowed down, followed behind this plane, and then took out the communicator and reported to Lin Yuan: "I found a plane, I don't know if it is the emperor's plane." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "I have some aircraft information now, please describe the appearance of your plane to me." ”

Xu Feng said: "The nose has a propeller, a single vertical tail, a single wing straight wing, a pontoon landing gear, and the fuselage is painted with blue-gray paint. ”

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, that's it, now you immediately force it to go to our temporary airport on Kyushu Island." ”

Xu Feng smiled: "No problem, you just wait for my good news!" ”

After Xu Feng finished speaking, he informed the other pilots on the plane: "Please move closer to me immediately, I have found the target!" The other planes immediately flew towards Xu Feng's location, and Xu Feng continued: "Hole 4 to Cave 8, you go beyond the target plane, reconnoiter the sea, and look for the cruise ship, and the rest of the planes form a wall-shaped formation with me as the captain plane, of which Dong 2 serves as the captain's wingman, Dong 3 serves as the double captain's plane, and Dong 4 serves as the double captain's wingman. ”

The "wall formation" is a classic formation in air combat, in this formation, four planes are lined up, like a wall, and the leading fighter, the captain's wingman, the double captain's plane, and the double captain's wingman are all members of this formation.

The four fighters formed a "wall-shaped formation" under the leadership of Xu Feng, and Xu Feng took out the communicator at this time, adjusted it to the frequency of international maritime communications, and said in Japanese: "Listen, propeller planes, we are the Chinese Air Force, please change course immediately!" ”

As soon as Xu Feng's words came out, the people on the plane panicked! Lin Yuan and Xu Feng's judgment was not wrong, this plane was the emperor's plane, and there were four people on the plane, one was a pilot, one was Emperor Meiji, one was a navy veteran Ito Yuhiro, and the other was a female bodyguard with the same identity as No. 36.

These four people are extremely important figures, the importance of the Meiji Emperor and the pilots needless to say, Ito Yuhiro has been responsible for the introduction of weapons in Japan, so he has a deep friendship with the United States, Britain and other countries, as for the female bodyguard, she is proficient in the art of survival in the wild, which can ensure that the four people can survive for a long time under the condition that the food they carry is exhausted.

Emperor Meiji was in a good mood, because they had already contacted the American cruise ship that came to meet them at this time, and the American cruise ship was heading towards them, in fact, the emperor's plane was able to meet the cruise ship thanks to Lin Yuan, it was because Lin Yuan established a global navigation system that made accurate positioning at sea possible.

Instead of relying on satellites, the global navigation system uses radio to set up radiolocation stations in known places, and ships receive signals from these stations to determine their position.
