Worried about the imminent threat, Long Yun, who was still trying to control the fighter, immediately prepared to eject.

There is no way, although it is only a good strategy for the pilot to abandon the plane and parachute, if he stays in the fighter plane that is leaking and bumpy everywhere and eats a few missiles, then he might as well eject and escape immediately. Although I am still a little reluctant to accompany this Sukhoi fighter plane from birth to death, now is not the time to talk about feelings!

Thinking of this, his hand was already on the ejection ring of the seat, and Long Yun first tried his best to stabilize the flight state of the dìng fighter, and it was also a little risky to eject in such a bumpy and falling situation. Then he nervously scanned the clear blue sky around him, trying to find any signs of an enemy aircraft attacking, but found nothing; Next, I suddenly remembered the RWR alarm system, and there was no indication on the light panel, was it because the receiving antenna was blown up?

When he was in doubt, a rustling call suddenly came out of the radio that had been silent for a long time:

“…… Here is the Crimean Ground Navigation Center, call code 03017...... i.e. turn due north, you are approaching the ground anti-aircraft fire kill zone! ”

"03017 received! ――Please give us the navigation coordinates, our plane needs to find the nearest airport to land! ”

Suddenly heard a radio call from the ground, Long Yun naturally responded immediately with a bit of surprise, but the poor communication conditions made the words in the headset intermittent, he listened attentively to the vague voice mixed with the undulating noise, and at the same time was very worried about monitoring the sky behind the tail of the fighter, but found that the black dot that was still faintly visible when it was attacked by the missile just now had disappeared, and the Americans gave up the pursuit because they were close to the coastline?

When I was in doubt. High above the line of sight, under the sky. Gradually, a faint black dot with a narrow white trail appears; Notice this inconspicuous scene. Long Yun observed intently and found that the black dot was still moving very fast, looking up from the red seventeenth cockpit at a height of thousands of meters, and the speed of moving from north to south in the field of vision was also considerable.

Just as he was stabilizing his body and driving the injured fighter plane to slow down gradually, he saw that there seemed to be more than one black dot in the sky, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, it should be an air-to-air missile launched from a high altitude and entering the unpowered flight segment.

Seeing that these missiles with a ballistic altitude of about 10,000 meters passed overhead one after another, the trail trails gradually dissipated in the sky. Apparently flying in the direction of the American fighter plane that had just pursued him; When it was on the verge of desperation, it was relieved by friendly forces, and this batch of missile salvos really came at the right time!

Seeing that the F-15 fighters who were still in hot pursuit just now and launched batches of "Slammer" missiles to chase and kill, at this time, they probably did not dare to rush forward because of the appearance of the interceptor, and Long Yun, who put down the big trouble in his heart, immediately determined his position according to the navigation information that had just been put on the chain, and then reluctantly controlled the red 17th that damaged Yan Zòng to turn to the northwest and fly at a low speed, bypassing the Crimean Peninsula, which was at the forefront of the northern shore of the Black Sea and was particularly heavily defended. In particular, they stayed away from the ground anti-aircraft weapons killed area densely deployed in Sevastopol to avoid accidental injury by friendly forces, and then gradually lowered their altitude and glided all the way north, following the instructions of the ground guide to find the nearest airfield to land.

As the fighter planes continued to glide, the fuel leaks never stopped. In the cockpit of the fighter plane, which was still shaking and jolting with the turbulent air current, Long Yun paid attention to the downward trend of the fuel gauge while carefully recording the navigation information from the guidance station.

As far as he knows about the ground now. There seems to be more than one field airfield in the northern part of the Crimean peninsula, but now it is uncertain whether its Red Seventeen can still open the parachute, and the runway length that can only take off and land the MiG-29 normally may not be able to support the landing of the Su-27. Thinking of this, he continued to maintain a level flight attitude, slightly increased the thrust of the engine, and went all the way north, and the navigation station told him to fly a few dozen kilometers north to reach the large military airport on the outskirts of Kherson.

In the thrilling moment just now, it was completely consistent with Long Yun's guess, it was precisely because the PVO interceptor fighter patrolling on the northern side of the Black Sea came to his aid in time that he was in danger and was able to escape.

This high-altitude reinforcement over the Black Sea was a joint command operation of the Caucasian Theater Air Force and the Air Defense Force, and when it received Moscow's order to replan the deployment of the combat plan, the theater command had already considered how to take care of Viktor Rezenov, the number one trump card who was accustomed to single-handedly breaking into the enemy line and frantically charging and killing.

After consultations, the command decided to send heavy interceptors of the 610th Regiment of the Territorial Defense Force to stand by in shifts on the northern side of the Black Sea, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Just a few minutes earlier, an urgent notification had been received from the ground command center indicating that their ace major general was likely retreating north and being chased; Although the IFF identification could not be carried out, anyone who looked at the engagement situation and knew who the one flying in front should be, the two MiG-31Ms of the 610th Territorial Defense Regiment of the Territorial Defense Force immediately took up a favorable position, and fired a total of six R-33 long-range air-to-air missiles at the US fighters chasing from an altitude of 14,000 meters.

In the face of the intricate air situation between the enemy and the enemy, the semi-active radar-guided missile has highlighted an advantage over the active missile, that is, it can indicate the target by the irradiation of the carrier aircraft's radar, without worrying about falling into an indiscriminate and indiscriminate attack. Without the concern of accidentally injuring friendly fighters, two high-altitude and high-speed southbound MiG-31Ms launched stout R-33s one after another in the airspace ahead after intercepting the target; The four F-15E, which were still chasing Long Yun closely, couldn't help but fall into a hesitation after the RWR intercepted the unique irradiation signal of the "Shield" M phased array radar.

Sitting in the "Attack Eagle" flying north, Major Harris, who led the team, knew very well that the waveform intercepted by the RWR could only come from the "Foxcatcher" of the Russians, and the "Foxcatcher" fighter with a perverted combat speed and height was not a lethal opponent in the BVR confrontation, but it was basically impossible to be hit, and the lone 41st Squadron should not be reluctant to confront this heavy interceptor head-on.

Thinking of this, he immediately dispelled the idea of continuing the pursuit, and when he heard the wingman's "target hit" report, he didn't know if it was true, and the major felt that today's operation had achieved its goal; As soon as he saw the situation, he ordered the fleet to return immediately and accelerate out of the dangerous central airspace of the Black Sea.

Under the threat of approaching R-33 missiles, the four dark gray F-15Es immediately turned around and accelerated back, and flew towards the southern sky without a moment's pause.

Seeing that the opponent had been dispersed, they followed behind all the way to drive away these "attack eagles" who turned and ran, and the two MiG-31Ms also discovered the fierce enemy in the southern sky after launching two batches of R-33s one after another: the A-50 early warning aircraft hovering on the north side of the theater informed the pilots of the 610th Regiment through the guò command network that the American F-14D "Super Cat" fighters had crossed the southern coastline at an altitude of nine thousand meters, which also made them give up the idea of continuing to catch up.

In this way, two heavy fighters, also carrying long-range air-to-air missiles, turned and disengaged after several rounds of radar-locked games on the north and south sides of the Black Sea. As veterans of air warfare for a long time, the pilots of the United States and the Soviet Union knew very well that the missiles they carried could not hit their opponents at a distance of more than 100 kilometers, so they could only intimidate each other.

The battle that had just broken out over the Black Sea and encountered the "Caucasus Grim Reaper" had already made the NATO Air Force suffer enough, and the strategy of the Soviet Territorial Air Defense Force was to focus exclusively on defense, and there was no chance for this one-touch heavy fighter and missile fight to take place.

As the warplanes of the warring sides withdrew, the clear blue sky that had just erupted in a series of fierce air battles returned to calm, as if the chase and explosion, the smoke and the flames had never happened, leaving only the tracks of fighters and missiles that gradually dissipated. But in the battle to the death, the fighters and pilots who have broken the blue sky can never be resurrected, and can only find a home under the undulating waves of the Black Sea, and bury their bones in the deepest part of the dark ocean.

The sky behind him has calmed down, but Long Yun's difficult return journey continues, and he needs to complete the arduous task of forced landing with his Red Seventeen in order to return to the ground safely.

For the Su-27S, a heavy fighter with a central lifting body layout and a double vertical tail with ventral fins, because of its excellent low-altitude gliding performance and abundant course stability, Long Yun's control at this time was not a problem, but the fuel stock became very tight due to continuous leakage.

After a short struggle to fly, a blue-gray Sukhoi fighter plane gradually approached in front of his line of sight, and he later learned that the two-seat Su-27UB took off from the southern airfield of Kherson and belonged to the 224th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Red Air Force; The pilot of the 224th Regiment, who was sitting in the back row, assumed the duties of navigator and observer, first asked Long Yun to try to lower the landing gear, and then instructed his pilot to fly left and right to fly and observe the Su-27UB, and then breathed a sigh of relief on the radio:

"Great, the landing gear is out normally! - Comrade Major General, if you hold on for a few more minutes you will be able to see the airfield, how much fuel is there now? ”

"About 700 liters, I don't think that's too bad, anyway, there's only one engine that needs to burn oil, haha!"

"Oh-hehe, okay! Then keep the course the same, gradually lower the altitude and prepare to land, we will always be in the rear side to observe. (To be continued......)
