"Good comrades, thank you very much!"

I don't know if the landing gear can be put down after it is retracted, anyway, the current speed has dropped to about 500 kilometers per hour, and Long Yun has not retracted the landing gear, so let it go with this air resistance.

The fighter further lowered its flight altitude to about 3,000 meters, only to see the gradually narrowing coastline on the northern side of the Crimean Peninsula rapidly approaching in sight, and then suddenly turning into a large open land, which reminded Long Yun that he had already flown over the Ukrainian republic, so he easily confirmed the route on the radio.

Since the landing gear is normal, the landing is still easy for him, even if it is a forced landing.

However, after hearing Long Yun's reply, sitting in the Su-27UB that kept flying with him at the back and observing carefully, the fighter pilot and the rear pilot were very admiring and whispered to each other, and they felt that the number one trump card in front of them was really amazingly courageous. At this moment, the red No. 17 Su-27S, which insisted on flying in front of them, had its vertical tail on one side almost completely blown away, and the flat tail on the same side had also been deformed and stuck, and there were many injuries on the back and main wings, and the leaked wisps of aviation kerosene and lubricating oil had made the fuselage black and dirty, and even from time to time there were undulating wisps of flames flashing at the tail vertebrae.

My God, the fighter plane of this kind of Cheng Dù was damaged, but Comrade Major General was still so calm and composed?

Isn't he worried that the fighter plane will catch fire and explode at any time, although there are only a few hundred liters of fuel left in the body now, but anyone who changes his position will probably be very nervous; It's no wonder that this guy will become a super ace beyond Kozhdub, look at him like this. It's literally made to fly fighter jets!

Two pilots from the 224 regiment. They also exchanged their feelings in the cockpit.

And in the cockpit of the Su-27S in front of the side. Long Yun's snooping of consciousness naturally made him realize the thoughts of these two comrades-in-arms, and he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and smile helplessly.

Piloting a fighter plane to make a forced landing, of course, is not fun at all, but who made him practice it several times? Thinking back to the first time I traveled in a dream before, I was suddenly thrown into this inexplicable parallel world, thinking that he was dreaming that he was not driving a MiG-29 with only one engine running as Victor and returning to the base, it seems that the trajectory of people's fate is sometimes really a kind of reincarnation.

Oh, no wonder the air forces of the real world don't like single-engine fighters very much. So there are still such considerations?

But thinking of this, Long Yun also came up with another opinion, that is, if today's last evasive maneuver was completed by using a single-engine, but more light and flexible J-10A "Raptor", maybe he would not have been blown up by those two "Slammers" at all, which may not have been.

Just when he was controlling the fighter plane and thinking about it, the airfield in the suburbs of Kherson in front was already in sight.

At the end of a thrilling return journey, after a struggle with the landline that had become unruly due to battle damage, Long Yun finally aimed the red No. 17 at the center of the runway, and after sliding for a distance of more than 800 meters, he stopped steadily on the wide runway where the 224 fighter aviation regiment was stationed.

The first fight after the comeback, except for the exit, there was a little wolf bèi. Everything else is not bad.

Just now, when he flew over the Crimean peninsula and joined up with the Su-27UB fighters of the 224th Regiment who had come to meet him, he decided to abandon flying to several other military airfields that were closer to him, and instead insisted on flying to Kherson and then landing.

Located in the city of Kherson at the mouth of the Dnieper River. less than 40 kilometers from the city of Mykolaiv, an important city in western Ukraine; In this air base on the southern outskirts of the city, the 224th Fighter Aviation Regiment, which is responsible for the air defense of the entire southwestern region of Ukraine, is stationed. As the main aviation regiment that undertakes air interdiction and provides support for other front-line fighter regiments, the 224th Regiment, which is also equipped with Su-27 series fighters, can provide more comprehensive support for Long Yun, at least after emergency repairs, so that his Red 17th fighter can take off again.

Oh, and speaking of taking off again......

After jumping off the fighter plane, he quickly ran to the side of the runway, resting his flight helmet on the grass beside him, Long Yun put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath, while watching the roaring fire trucks and emergency repair personnel spray foam on the still smoking red No. 17 fighter fuselage, and then hung up the Kamaz tractor and dragged it away. He has seen this kind of emergency measures to deal with the combat damage of fighters and avoid fires more than once, but it will also cause the onboard electronic equipment and wiring to be damp and even immersed in water and cause many failures; Thinking of this, he shook his head a little helplessly, it seemed that even if he started to repair the structural damage immediately, his car would not be able to recover in three or five days.

Hey, but that's nothing!

With Viktor Rezenov's current identity, it is estimated that there is no problem at all to borrow a Su-224S from the 224th regiment for first use, after all, the regimental commanders and political commissars in this regiment should only be colonel-level officers.

Having said that, the pilots and ground crew pilots who were surrounded in the same place were curious to watch and talk, and Long Yun just smiled and threw this idea aside. Not to mention that the operational command system has always recognized only military positions and not military ranks, and as the number one trump card of the Red Air Force with brilliant combat achievements, he, a major general of the aviation corps, who has fought one battle after another, naturally has no interest in putting on a show and shaking his prestige.

Now, since you are here, it is only right to hurry up and say hello to your colleagues in the 224th Regiment, and tell them more about air combat tactics and experience!

In the airport, they shook hands and talked with the commanders and fighters of the 224th Regiment, and after meeting the regiment commander and others who came on purpose, everyone returned to the barracks and gathered together to talk about the previous combat experience; A lift-off sortie allowed him to stay almost 800 kilometers away from the base, and Long Yun, who felt that the Soviet Union had a large territory, could only stay here temporarily, and then plan the subsequent combat operations.

Under the eager communication of everyone in the aviation regiment, Long Yun took a lot of effort to get out, and he remembered that he should quickly contact the 237th regiment first: During the war, communication and contact may not be as smooth and orderly as usual. Maybe the regiment didn't know where they were going at this time. Only Suvorov returned alone. Do you still think that you have crossed the line this time and have been beaten into the Black Sea by the Americans and become a chicken in the soup?

So he found the person in charge of the regiment and came to the office of the regiment headquarters to make a confidential phone call; After waiting for a while, someone finally answered the microphone, and unexpectedly it was a young woman's voice:

"Victor! - It's you! We're worried about dying, where did you go? ”

"I- Hey, Valya, why are you?"

Hearing a somewhat hoarse but still pleasant female voice on the phone, Long Yun's eyes immediately appeared in front of him with the image of a woman in professional clothes. He suddenly remembered that this lady was none other than his nominal girlfriend, Valentina, whose real identity was a KGB agent, and his tone was naturally full of surprise.

"It's me, what's so strange about this, I cried when I saw your wingman come back alone! - Where are you now, you big villain? ”

On the phone, Valentina's voice was really choked, as if she had just cried for the safety of her lover; This made Long Yun, who was listening to the phone, not know what to say, and he really began to admire this young detective. If two people change their identities, he should pretend to be worried about the safety of his lover and play on the spot and cry. He would rather be locked up for a week, which would be more comfortable.

But...... Thinking of this very jokingly, Long Yun thought about it again. Could it be that this smart and clever Valentina is really worried about him?

This kind of thinking seemed a bit nonsense to him, so he continued to talk about the topic:

"Well, I'm in the base on the outskirts of Kherson, the fighter plane is some damaged, and I need to delay here for two days for the time being."

"Really? I don't understand the combat side, so you can talk to the regiment commander later. - But did you take another risk today? Is the strict zhòng of fighter aircraft damage not strict? ”

"Oh, what do you say?"

Remembering the promise he had made to Valentina that he must pay attention to safety during the battle, Long Yun's mind came up with the scene of the red No. 17 battle damage with its tail flying and black smoke rising, and he immediately decided that it was better to lie, "I was injured a little by stray bullet shrapnel, and I can simply repair it." ”

After briefly telling a lie, and reporting to Commander Samsonov and others, Long Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then hung up the phone and came to the outer office, but saw that the deputy head of the 224th Regiment and others present were looking at him with a look full of adoration; He was still a little unaccustomed to it for a while, and was just about to ask them when they were free and set aside some time for themselves to hold a combat seminar, when an aviation captain next to him whispered:

"Comrade Major General, we just heard that you shot down four enemy planes at once today! ――That's amazing, congratulations! ”

With the captain's words, everyone present applauded enthusiastically, which made Long Yun, who was under the gaze of everyone, a little embarrassed, he raised his hand and scratched his head, then grinned and waved his hand, and then diverted the topic and chatted with these Red Air Force boys who eagerly admired him.

For the fierce air battle just fought, in fact, he remembered very well that in addition to assisting the wingman, he killed a total of five NATO fighters before and after; However, it is impossible for the statistics of the results of air situation monitoring to be accurate so quickly, and he naturally will not make a correction.

After the warm congratulations, someone in the audience asked him about his plan for tomorrow's attack:

"Comrade Major General, will you continue to attack tomorrow? ――You can choose any fighter in the regiment, or will we prepare a single-seater in the best condition? ”

"Ah, that's the question,"

Hearing someone ask about his whereabouts, he quickly scanned the consciousness activities of those present and confirmed that there were no spies and spies in it, Long Yun cleared his throat, and then responded unhurriedly:

"I'm not in a hurry tomorrow, but I'll have a meeting to discuss tactics when I have time.

Based on my personal observation, the best way to deal with the Americans is to not be tired of deceit, and to be false and real; Since they were in pain this time, it was probably expected that we would attack on a large scale, so we would like to slow down and put some smoke bombs on the hook so that they can take the bait. The summary of the operation sent by Moscow is clear to everyone, right? -- Yes, we should deliberately show weakness before we take action. ”

Speaking of this, Long Yun subconsciously narrowed his eyes, but in his bright pupils, there seemed to be two blazing flames burning:

"Give them some time! Replenish more planes, so as not to have enough targets to hit when you get them. (To be continued......)
