The aerial shape of the Caucasus has deteriorated dramatically in the last two weeks.

Under the continuous movement of NATO forces, the number of fighter wings deployed on the southern borders of the Soviet Union increased, and their activities became more and more frequent; Faced with this situation, the Soviet Air Force and the Territorial Defense Force of course had to attack with all their might, but many aviation regiments equipped with second-generation fighters suffered quite severe losses.

Among them, the unit with the highest battle loss rate is the 147th front-line fighter regiment.

The front-line unit, stationed on the outskirts of Grozny, lost more than fifteen MiG-23MLs in less than two weeks; This means that two-thirds of the combat strength of the entire regiment has been exhausted, and in fact it has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Turning to the statistical table at the back, although in terms of the overall exchange ratio, there is not much difference between the combat efficiency of NATO and the Soviet Union; However, Long Yun knew very well in his heart that as experienced pilots were successively consumed in the ruthless tug-of-war in the air, the combat quality of the follow-up troops was worrisome, and the exchange ratio would probably become more and more ugly.

Even if these second-line units, which were mainly responsible for combat readiness tasks before, are temporarily equipped with advanced fighters such as the MiG-29 and Su-27, their actual combat effectiveness may not be comparable with that of the original first-line aviation regiments because of their limited technology and hasty replacement.

Faced with such a tricky situation, Long Yun put the information back on the table, turned off the lights and lay on the bed in a daze.

At this time, Long Yun was not so much worried about the threat of the Americans, but looking forward to the air duel between the Su-27 and the sworn rival F-15. The results of the previous raid were only a brief prelude to his combat career in the 237th Regiment; If he really encounters these domineering "eagles" in the sky, what kind of results will he play?

The fighter elite of the US Air Force, is it?

The question of who will be a little more powerful will soon be answered.

……

Early the next morning, Long Yun, who got up early in the morning to apply for an attack at the regiment headquarters, was unexpectedly blocked at the door.

Just last night, I don't know if it was his eagerness to fight, not only did he not end the time travel back to the real world, but he also had a lot of strange dreams about air combat.

Because of the experience of crossing first, when Long Yun dreamed, he wondered if he had crossed again, and even dreaming made him nervous; In his dream, he found himself piloting a heavily armored assault plane to cover all the way, shoot down countless miscellaneous fish in infinite mode of ammunition, and finally drop a nuclear bomb on the head of the Statue of Liberty in New York.

It's just an absurd fantasy of war!

Rubbing his swollen head, Long Yun reluctantly put these messy memories behind him, and then showed a reluctant smile to Valentina, who was heroic and a little ambiguous in front of him.

"Morning, Victor. Where is this going? ”

"Uh, go have breakfast."

Giving a correct, but obviously incomprehensible answer, Long Yun wanted to slip away.

However, it was clear that Valentina had no intention of letting him act alone, she reached out and grabbed Long Yun's arm, and it didn't take much effort to stop him from lifting up.

"I knew about the things in the regiment yesterday; Today, the head of the regiment will give you a day off, so go out for a walk with me. ”

"- Holiday? But I'm going to strike—"

"I know this," realizing that the ace in front of him only had battle in his eyes and was clearly ignoring her appearance, Valentina was secretly annoyed in her heart, and couldn't help but take Long Yun's arm and drag him to the restaurant to eat together, "But Korolev is already on duty, and there is no wingman to escort you, so you should stay on the ground honestly today!" ”

Dragged towards the restaurant by Valentina, Long Yun could feel the straight, soft body parts under the plaid shirt between the physical touches; He felt that this was very inappropriate, but there was nothing he could do in the face of this soft and rigid KGB agent.

Speaking of which, this Valentina is well aware of the arrangements in the group, as if she not only knows the arrangements for him in the group, but can also decide his current tasks and schedule on a certain schedule.

What is the situation here, or rather, who is he under the command of now, the 237th Regiment or the KGB?

The answer to this kind of question, of course, is not to be asked; Before Long Yun could think about it clearly, his body had already followed Valentina very interestingly.

After eating breakfast a little uncomfortably, feeling the complicated eyes of the people in the group, Long Yun called Valentina on the path next to the restaurant, and tactfully reminded her that it was better not to always appear in the base; As for the reason, in addition to the fact that he felt a little embarrassed, he had just sacrificed at least one comrade-in-arms in the regiment yesterday, but now he was seen mixed with his "lover", which made Long Yun feel inappropriate when he thought about it.

However, blinking her big gray-black eyes, Valentina did not approve of his mentions:

"I see, you're overthinking, aren't you? I know the thoughts of these young men, and being here now isn't necessarily bad for morale," she said, reaching out and pulling out two small notes from her handbag, "Besides, my priority right now is to take care of your safety, and I don't have to worry about anything else." - Victor, how are you in love now, do you want to go to a movie with me to relieve your boredom? ”

Seeing Valentina in front of him wearing linen trousers and a long-sleeved blouse, her watery eyes were still looking at her intently, Long Yun turned his mind and swallowed back the words "I don't really want to go".

The Consciousness Snooping Technique has already told Long Yun at this time, and her arrangement today is also intentional, so why do you still ask your own opinion?

Sure enough, there is no way to take to the air to fight today, so just listen to the orders of this KGB beauty.

……

Stavropol, the name refers both to the medium-sized city where the 237th Regiment was stationed on the outskirts of the city, and to refer to the entire Stavropol Krai of the Soviet Union.

This rich land, which is crossed by a railway but does not pass through the capital city of Stavropol, is not only rich in oil and gas and mineral resources, but also produces high-quality mineral water, which has been called since 1943. As a typical continental climate region, the northeast of the whole land has a gentle low altitude area, which is suitable for cultivation; The terrain in the southern mountains is more undulating, but precipitation is more abundant, and many high-altitude areas are densely wooded and difficult to navigate.

As the regional capital, Stavropol, formerly known as "Voroshilovsk", is located at the junction of the north-south terrain, this city of less than 300,000 people has a relatively developed industrial system, as well as a number of colleges and universities, and a pleasant climate, it is a good place to live and live.

Riding to the small urban area, along the way to enjoy the typical landforms of the Caucasus with open and flat scenery like a picture scroll, Long Yun secretly admired the natural scenery here, but also couldn't help but think of the cruel and bloody past that happened in this beautiful land after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the real world.

After the collapse of the huge Red Empire, various extremist ethnic and separatist forces began to operate wantonly in the republics and border regions of the Caucasus, and then several wars and conflicts, large and small, broke out. Stavropol, located on the 45th parallel and not under the control of the separatist forces, was not deeply involved in the war, but unfortunately it was also implicated in frequent terrorist activities, leaving a bloody page in the city's history.

But now, this kind of catastrophe is nowhere to be seen in the parallel world; As far as the eye can see, except for the slightest trace of the current war, there is a scene of tranquility everywhere.

This contrast is so strong that others are of course ignorant of it; Seeing this scene shrouded in the shadow of war, but still calm and peaceful, Long Yun couldn't help but think about how good it would be if the Caucasus in the real world had always been like this.

The car drove into the city, passing through the temporary checkpoints set up during the war, and Valentina drove unhurriedly through the streets of Stavropol, as if she knew that Long Yun was still curious about the place.

Driving to the most prosperous business district in Stavropol, walking into the low-key cinema in the foyer, and seeing the sparse figures inside, Long Yun remembered that today was not a weekend, and there were very few people who came to watch movies in the morning.

On the surface, they watched the movie as a pair of lovers, but in fact, neither of them had any interest in the films screened, Long Yun still saw the printed ticket stub in Valentina's hand, and only then did he know that today's screening was the famous Soviet movie "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears". The film, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, can be said to be another Soviet film work that had a profound impact on the West during the Cold War after "War and Peace".

Of course, in the real world before, Long Yun had only heard of this film; If you want to see it with your own eyes, it's the first time today.

Walking into the empty screening room with Valentina and sitting down on a well-positioned box-style high-back sofa, Long Yun felt a little embarrassed that Valentina was clinging to him, and his arms kept holding each other when they entered the cinema.

If you want to say that there are not many people here, let alone anyone who pays attention to them, even if you want to play lovers, you don't have to do this, right?

Thinking of this, Long Yun wanted to withdraw his arm and move it a little farther away, but he felt that it was not appropriate, so he straightened his waist and sat on the sofa, simply not thinking about the young woman in front of him, but unconsciously looking at the simple arrangement around to satisfy the curiosity of "what is it like in a Soviet cinema".

He just looked at it and thought, if you want to understand the social situation of the Soviet Union in the nineties, then his journey through the country will probably make professional researchers ecstatic?

However, Long Yun immediately remembered that the Soviet Union in the real world had ceased to exist in the nineties; Many things in this parallel world are completely different from reality, so there is not much reference value.

It's just that if you want to talk about movies, the film and television works here are all the same as in reality, just like "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears"-

Oh...... On the screen, who is that woman?
