"Oh, too, I'm afraid it won't work on the ground."

Speaking of which, in fact, Long Yun himself also felt that it was not reliable at all to go through the rebel territory that stretched for hundreds of kilometers to return to Iraq; Even if it is him, even if he has superpowers, it is quite common to deal with ordinary small arms infantry, but when it comes to long-range fire coverage, everything is useless.

Well, since it is not very reliable on the ground, then he naturally thought, can he apply to the Damascus regime, make a special case, and give him a fighter from SRAF?

As a seasoned pilot, if you can get a more convenient landline, then not only can you fly to Iraq from the air and avoid struggling in the complicated situation on the ground, but if you really encounter the rebel fighters, you can also destroy the enemy by the way, which should be said to be a very good arrangement. Although Long Yun will find it a little tricky to think of the threat of "strong winds" in the Middle East sky, he thinks that returning from the southern part of the no-fly zone should not be a problem, and the key now is whether SRAF will accede to his request as a foreign pilot.

Thinking of this, Long Yun simply asked the major in front of him first, but got the latter's rattle-like shaking his head in denial:

"It's not going to work, it's not going to work!" Don't be misunderstood, Mr. Chilong, I think it will be very difficult for our Revolutionary Air Force to accept this request and allocate you a fighter plane.

As for the reason, I know at least a little bit personally,"

As he spoke, he scooped up the cauliflower and carrots on the plate and put them in his mouth, and the major pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth, "It's not that we can't trust you. We are all allies fighting side by side on one front. Isn't it? Now here's the problem. These Liberal fighters are so rampant that we have limited assistance, and to be honest, there aren't many planes left in SRAF, that's what I guess. ”

"There's nothing left...... How much? ”

"Yes! It's frustrating to say, but it's nothing.

Mr. Pilot, our 3rd Independent Battalion stationed in Sukhna has been frequently attacked by the FSA recently, but our fighters in the sky have been missing for many days; That's pretty much it. We have already lost air supremacy on the front line, and if ALSA doesn't rush to the rescue, I'm afraid the next battle will be very difficult! ”

"Ah, is that so?"

The major's explanation made Long Yun's glimmer of hope helplessly dashed, he also knew that the air power of the Syrian rebels has been very active recently, and the FSA didn't know how to get a batch of mysterious YF-23 "ghosts", although the pilot's skills are sparse, but it is also a big threat; Thinking of this, he didn't think about one more thing for the time being. It was "where did the rebels get these 'ghosts'", and the next words of the major were heard:

"Actually, you can't go in the air. It's not just that there are no fighters, Mr. Red Dragon.

After all, our army doesn't know much about the situation of SRAF, maybe they can find one or two extra fighters for you to use, and this kind of thing is not possible. However, in the current battle situation on the front line, because of the loss of air supremacy in the theater, the anti-aircraft firepower of our Revolutionary Guards is 'indiscriminate attacks,' that is, they directly open fire when they see air targets.

In this case, even if you get a fighter, you will not be able to safely fly over the war zone; And if there is a detour, the odious old United European Army to the north, the Israelis and the Iraqi Freedom Party to the south, neither side can be handled.

Ay! Damn, aren't we just surrounded? ”

"Oh......"

Sure enough, thinking about the current situation, Long Yun had to admit that what the major said was very correct.

In order to return to the Fort Scharqat base as much as possible, continue the mission, and at the same time report the safety of the family, returning from the air would have been the fastest option, but now there are no planes available, and second, the flight is full of dangers, which is really a risk and a gamble; And in addition, he did feel quite tired, and it was probably not a very wise behavior to fly the fighter plane into the air at this time.

Just after a violent catapult jump, he didn't feel it when he was in a fierce shootout and hitchhiking westward just now, but now Long Yun, who was sitting in a chair, felt a little sore in his spine and had no strength in his body.

But in that case, should he stay in the Syrian city called Sukhna all the time?

After thinking for a moment, the major suggested a solution to Long Yun's problem, he could wait for tomorrow to take a military vehicle to the central Syrian city of Homs, and then go to the port of "Tripoli" in Lebanon, take a steamer far away from Israel and reach Egypt, and then maybe he could enter northern Iraq via Saudi Arabia - this is still a convenient situation, and if the border between Saudi Arabia and Iraq continues, maybe he will have to go to Iran by way, Finally, as he did when he first entered Iraq, he entered the new party-controlled zone from the ground.

"--This is so troublesome!"

"Yes, Mr. Pilot, we're under attack on all sides right now, so ......"

Hearing the major's explanation, Long Yun sat down on the chair and gasped for a few breaths, he really didn't expect that it would be so difficult for the two pieces of land, which were originally only more than 100 kilometers apart, to return to Iraq from Syria now. If this is the case, it will be a car and a boat ride along the way, and when he returns to Fort Scharqat (if the road goes smoothly), will it be better than New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar!

Long Yun hurriedly finished eating the food on the plate, still feeling a little hungry, he went to get another bag of field rations, and then asked the major if there were any plans to launch a ground offensive on the Syrian government side recently.

Just a day or two ago, reading the report on the situation distributed by the NATA command structure, Long Yun learned that the Iraqi New Party had launched an offensive in the western control area, that is, in Qusaiba, which is adjacent to Abu Kamal, in order to counterattack and expel a group of Syrian rebels to the west: then it seems that if the Damascus regime launches an offensive in the Sukhna area, the Iraqi New Party advances to the west and the Syrian government forces to the east, even if both sides are unable to completely destroy the rebels, they will join forces in the heart of the Middle East, Could it also be possible to create favorable conditions for his stealth plan, and perhaps cross the border and return to Iraq all at once?

This idea was cautiously supported by the major, and the sturdy man with the beard looked left and right, and lowered his voice to sù the NATA pilot who had come from afar:

"Well, of course it's going to be a secret, but it's okay to talk about it now, the offensive is already in sight anyway.

Yes, just some time ago, we got information in the fight against the rebels that the Liberals had transferred all the so-called 'organs of power' stationed in Deir ez-Zor to Aleppo, intending to officially declare it the capital of 'Free Syria' - well, these bastards, they want to get it!

But because of this, the rebels' defensive focus has shifted to Aleppo, and they have been trying to occupy the northwest of our country and cut off access to the sea, so that the Liberal Party in Sukhna is now empty, and this is the basis of our package of action plans. Of course, I can't confide in you the exact deployment, but in any case, an offensive will soon be launched, and this will become the front line of fire with the roar of guns!

So, Mr. Pilot,"

After a fairly rich dinner, the major stood up and patted Long Yun, who had field rations under his arm, and hugged him, "For safety reasons, you can rest here for the night for a while, and then you will leave for Homs as much as possible; As long as you enter Lebanon from there, you will be safe. ”

"Oh, is that so...... Okay, thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Major! ”

After a general understanding of Sukhna's situation, Long Yun saw that it was not early outside the window, and his ears seemed to be able to hear the faint roar and engine roar from the distant battle front, he said goodbye to the military major at the door of the dining room, watched the strong man jump into the "Humvee" car and leave, and then followed a guard to his resting quarters.

The sun gradually dimmed, and after a thrilling and exciting whole day, Long Yun, who was full of food and drink, had no idea for the time being, he slowly walked with the guards in the city of Sukhna, where the cold wind was steep and the night was gradually rising, and he casually looked at the monotonous night scene in the city as he walked; In the light-controlled town, there are few pedestrians and it is extremely quiet at this time, except for the occasional sound of car engines, mixed with the ethereal explosions that gradually come from time to time.

Setting foot on Syrian land for the first time, and settling down in a temporarily requisitioned inn in the city, Long Yun, who had no luggage, took a change of clothes and other supplies from the guards, put a lot of hot water in the large wooden barrel in the hotel room, and soaked in the most comfortable hot bath in his life.

In the swirling water vapor, he closed his eyes, slowed down his breathing, and enjoyed the happiness and leisure after escaping from the battlefield.

While soaking in the bath, he slowly regained his spirit, although he planned to relax completely, his thoughts still turned uncontrollably to the thorny problem in front of him, Long Yun sorted out his thoughts in the barrel, he felt that the immediate priority was to try to return to the 3rd_IHFS of Fort Scharcut.

The reason for saying this is that whether it is from the perspective of one's own mission or from the perspective of avoiding the worries of lovers, it seems that it is completely necessary to return to the team as much as possible.

However, in addition, after carefully pondering his feelings, Long Yun was a little puzzled and noticed another feeling, that is, he was very uncertain now, or in the battle during the day today, after encountering the "mysterious flying machine" in the clear sky and the "giant fighter" in the mouth of his partner, he unconsciously had an inexplicable worry.
