Chapter 438: Fatal Question

"Yes, Hunter Three understands! Perform a double-tap tactical walkthrough now! Tong Fangyong replied almost without hesitation, although Cheng Chongjin's order was far from his expectations, Tong Fangyong still immediately carried it out.

This is the tacit understanding formed under the long-term running-in, no matter what kind of order, whether it is understood or not, it is implemented first, and then it is said that in the high altitude, it is often a second or two that determines life and death, and no one can think about it.

If he can't do what he wants to do and give his back to his companions for no reason, then he is not worthy of being a comrade in the squadron.

"Hunter 1 has received news that the target is now suspicious, and now acceleration is a temptation." Hearing that Hunter No. 3 had begun to perform a combined attack tactical drill, Cheng Chongjin had time to explain the reason for the order just now.

The two of them parted, thousands of kilometers away, and Sheffield immediately discovered this action.

"Benjamin, you're right, these old Chinese fighters are really carrying out their training missions, it seems that they are training to fly to the limit this time, hehe, what is the training value of this broken plane, it should have been scrapped a long time ago." Sheffield said.

"Not every country is as rich as our America, Sheffield, among Asian countries, there are only a handful of countries that can have so many planes like the Air Force of Chinese mainland, don't underestimate these old planes, they have thousands, if they all fly into the sky, it is enough to cover the sky!" Benjamin said to Sheffield this time in a serious manner.

"You're right, Benjamin, you've always been right, come on, help me see these things, it seems to be medium-range conventional ballistic missiles, but what model is this, I don't think I've seen it before?" Sheffield asked, pointing to the image uploaded back from the Global Hawk. This is an image taken using Global Hawk Synthetic Aperture Radar showing intelligence on a convoy of heavy trucks on a highway in Chinese mainland, more than a hundred kilometers away.

On top of these heavy trucks, there are big cylindrical guys painted in camouflage, which are some kind of big killers to conquer the city.

Benjamin glanced at these photos, and couldn't help but look a little moved, he knew all kinds of missiles in service on the Chinese side well, but they all seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with this one.

He studied it carefully, and after estimating the volume and length of these targets and other characteristics, Benjamin said to Sheffield with some joy: "Hehe, this time we have caught a new guy, it seems that this should be a new type of surface-to-surface medium-range tactical missile of the Chinese side, from the perspective of characteristics, it is very close to the DF-21 of the Chinese mainland military, but it is slightly larger, and it is speculated that it should be an improved product developed on the basis of DF-21." ”

"Mike, see if you can control the Global Hawk to take more pictures of them, we need clearer and more angled photos to analyze it in detail."

"No problem!" Sheffield snapped his fingers and rejoiced, as the chief controller of a strategic reconnaissance aircraft, there could not be more exciting than the discovery of a new target.

Li Dashan, who was close to the global eagle all the way, felt that the signal strength of the monitoring system had weakened a lot all of a sudden, and he knew that the target must have a new action now, but after Cheng Chongjin and Tong Fangyong's plane maneuvered out, the monitoring system could no longer give location information, what should I do?

Li Dashan's heart was tightened for a while, a few minutes ago, Cheng Chongjin reported the order from the ordnance industry, only he could bite the target, and now looking at the weakening of the monitoring signal, there is a tendency to lose the target again, how can he not be anxious in his heart?

"Hunter No. 2 calls Hunter No. 1, the target is now moving again, and the tracking signal is constantly weakening, please instruct!" Faced with this unexpected situation, Li Dashan felt that he was a little blind, so he had to call Cheng Chongjin to see if they had any good suggestions. In his heart, he hopes that Cheng Chongjin has now received a guiding order from the ordnance industry.

This time, he was not disappointed, Cheng Chongjin had just received a deciphered message from Duke, and with these first-hand command messages, Duke knew the target's movements well.

"Hunter Two, the target is now circling back to the right, azimuth **, xx, pay attention to biting its tail, we are now coming over after the maneuver." Listening to Cheng Chongjin's calm voice, Li Dashan's heart finally took back, and after making a beautiful big slalom flight maneuver according to the direction indicated by Cheng Chongjin, sure enough, the signal detection intensity began to rise again.

Although Li Dashan can't figure out how the people of the ordnance industry extract information from this black box, he confirmed that the ordnance industry now has a way to decipher the target's communications.

This is really amazing, when did the people of the military industry become so powerful, you must know that this is the top active strategic reconnaissance aircraft in the United States.

It seems that it won't be long before the Global Hawk or something is a transparent person for our army, and if you dare to come close to the mainland, you will wait to be beaten!

The more Li Dashan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait for him to catch up and knock down the target now.

He was in a good mood, and suddenly there was a ticking alarm sound on the fighter, which was an alarm for the lack of fuel in the fuel tank of the fighter, Li Dashan heard this sound, and it was as if he was poured down by a bucket of ice water!

It turns out that after tossing in the air for so long, the fuel gauge shows that there is now only about a fifth of the fuel left! Fighter jets have automatically sounded fuel shortage alerts. Just now, all the attention was paid to the monitoring system, and they didn't pay much attention to the situation of their fighters, they ran a lot of wrongful roads in the air chase, and many times they flew at the limit speed, in this case, the fuel consumption of the fighters was much higher than the normal cruising speed.

So although it was only a little over an hour of flying, the fuel tank was basically bottoming out. One-fifth of the fuel volume, which means that the fighter can fly a maximum distance of about 400 kilometers.

At present, the fighter planes are at least 70 or 80 kilometers away from land, and they are even more than 200 kilometers away from the nearest airport.

What to do? Suddenly discovering this big problem, a cold sweat broke out on Li Dashan's forehead.

"Hunter Two calls Hunter One, my tank is running out of gas! Please instruct! Li Dashan reported with great frustration. Obviously, there is nothing more disappointing than the situation you encounter now, which is as aggrieved as when you finally pushed down a favorite sister paper, only to find that the sister paper happened to be the same as the eldest aunt.

Cheng Chongjin and the others also found the same problem, because everyone stopped talking for a while.

It's about to run out of gas, but Duke and they haven't had time to catch up, so what now?

Cheng Chongjin and the others were chasing the global eagle while thinking about this fateful question.
