Chapter 179: Aftermath

The plane circled twice over the heads of the crowd and flew off into the distance again. Captain Liu lowered his head and rubbed his nose, Zhuang Yichen could clearly see the tears flashing in his eyes.

Zhuang Yichen walked over and didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder. Captain Liu glanced up at him, then turned his head and took a deep breath, holding back the tears that flashed in his eyes.

"Yesterday, the commendation order of the Military Commission has come down, and I have jumped two levels in a row and been promoted to colonel." Captain Liu's voice was faintly mocking, "The glory that the brothers exchanged for their lives is all for me to enjoy alone." ”

Zhuang Yichen looked at him and said seriously: "The dead are gone, and the living are working hard." Don't you often say that I love hypocrisy, why am I hypocritical myself? ”

"Once we succeed, we can only blame us for being born in troubled times. In this world where human life is like a mustard, those who can survive will eventually turn their hearts to stone one day. ”

After that, Zhuang Yichen also sighed lightly. He said the same to himself. Since the catastrophe, life and death have long been mixed with some helpless short-term feelings, and one day, maybe there will be no more of these feelings.

Captain Liu nodded, "Let's go, let's go to the tower and have a look." ”

After the J-8 left everyone's sight, everyone rushed to the ground command center and continued to pay attention to the follow-up test flight.

"812 calls the tower, the airspace has been emptied, everything is normal."

"The tower received, the task was carried out according to the original plan, repeated, and carried out according to the original plan."

Zhuang Yichen and Captain Liu came to the tower, and a high-ranking officer of the airport was also on the tower, and the pilot's voice in the radio station was smooth and clear, and everything was as usual.

When Head Jiang saw Zhuang Yichen coming in, he just nodded, and then continued to focus on the radar display screen.

A few minutes later, the J-8 fighter successfully climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters and began to cruise at high speed around the vast mountains of Sichuan and Shu.

However, at this moment, the early warning radar on the command platform suddenly issued a sharp alarm, and at the same time, the sound of the pilot in the radio station calmly reporting the flight situation also sounded rapidly.

"812 call tower, 812 call tower! Unknown bomber found, repeat, unknown bomber found! ”

The atmosphere in the tower suddenly became solemn, looking at the display on the radar, this so-called unknown bomber is actually familiar to everyone. The bomber was the B52, and during the time when the heart of Yan Huang was secretly escorted, this bomber would appear on time above everyone's heads every day. It didn't disappear for a while until the heart of the yellow disappeared after a successful test flight on a helicopter.

And now, at the critical juncture of this fighter plane's test flight, it has once again appeared in a show of force. Then the meaning of this is very interesting. Regiment Commander Chiang immediately made a decision, immediately reported the emergency situation to the Military Commission, and then picked up the microphone and ordered the pilot:

"The tower received, immediately switch to the public channel to warn, repeat, immediately switch to the public channel to warn!"

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, a B52 strategic bomber was loaded with ammunition and cruised at low speed in the blue sky in the hinterland of the republic. And the J-8 fighter that is flying is flying with it.

After receiving the order from the ground control center, the pilot immediately switched to the public channel and sent a warning message to the bomber. However, the warning was repeated three times in a row, and there was still no response.

After the last United Nations conference call, it was already the time for the international defense alliance to form a defense alliance on Earth, although this alliance was still just an empty talk, but the other side could use this tiger skin to stand on the side of righteousness, and turn the act of blatant invasion of airspace into assisting friendly forces in combat. Behind this arrogant provocation has been involved a series of complicated political games.

The stakes were so high that the order of the Central Military Commission came directly within one minute of receiving the report, and the order was only a short sentence:

Immediately take all necessary means except a formal exchange of fire, and be sure to expel him!

The ground command center immediately conveyed the order of the Central Military Commission to the pilot, and the pilot received the order.

Immediately, two tracer bullets were fired directly at the bomber.

This kind of confrontation in a non-wartime state is the most complex and sensitive, and every small move involves a series of complex and delicate political relations.

Firing tracer bullets is already the highest level of warning. However, the bomber still turned a deaf ear and continued to fly towards the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu as it should.

Thick white clouds lay beneath the bomber, and eight turbofan engines provided powerful power, allowing the hundred-ton monster to soar like an eagle over the nine heavens. In contrast, the J-8 fighter that flies beside it is like an insignificant bird, which may be swept into the super-strong air flow generated behind its wings at any time.

On the premise of not firing and not colliding with the plane, if an unknown plane intrudes into the country's territorial airspace, there are only a few internationally accepted ways to expel it, such as flying close to the enemy plane, shaking the wings, or flying in front of the enemy plane and using the wake to interfere with the enemy plane.

Or, taking advantage of the numerical superiority of the local planes, multiple planes can surround the enemy planes in the middle and coerce them to fly in the direction designated by our side.

In this case, the latter is clearly not feasible. In the former, our plane is just an old J-8, just flying next to the behemoth of the B52, and it is in danger of getting out of control at any time. Not to mention accomplishing those dangerous tactical moves.

The history is so strikingly similar, everyone in the ground command center looked at the flashing bright red light spot on the radar, and all fell into the humiliating memories of April Fool's Day in '01.

The B52 still hovered arrogantly in the sky, even though there were already hundreds of ground-to-air missiles firmly locking it on the ground.

Head Jiang was silent for a while, and then picked up the radio talkie, his voice heavy and slow.

"The tower calls 812, keeps your distance, and continues to fly with you. Repeat and continue to fly with you. ”

As soon as his words fell, he suddenly remembered with a loud bang! A young officer slammed his fist on the console.

"Fly with you! Accompany! Watching it arrogant above our heads, or TM want to accompany it?! ”

"There is a Red Arrow 9 deployed outside, Lao Tzu gives you permission, you can press the launch button if you have a kind!" Captain Jiang shouted back, his face flushed with this helpless anger.

Most of the officers in the tower are young officers of the Shaozhuang faction, and they are the generation that has received the most thorough patriotic education, and they are also the generation that has the deepest understanding of the humiliating history of the country.

Their fanatical and even somewhat paranoid patriotism is deeply rooted in their bone marrow, and in their hearts, even if all mankind needs to join hands to fight against the invasion of foreign enemies at this time, the sovereignty of the country and territory is still sacrosanct!

What's more, because a tragedy that happened in the past is so similar to today's scene, those deeply hidden humiliation and anger at that time have completely touched the military's scales at this moment!
