Chapter 136: Encountering the Enemy on the Homecoming

To Long Yun's surprise, the journey in the mountains was quite smooth.

Probably the nearby enemy troops and agents were basically cleared, and the convoy that was on standby had nothing to do all the way, and turned back after sending Long Yun to the airport.

When you get to the airport, it's much simpler; Walking near the runway, Long Yun saw two gray-green painted fighter planes parked in the distance. With his excellent eyesight, he knew at a glance that they were two MiG-29s, one of which was a two-seater MiG-29UB (UB stands for two-seater trainer) with an extraordinarily convex cockpit and a little cute.

It was specially sent by the 309 front-line fighter regiment to pick him up, and he had been waiting on the runway for a long time.

"Hey! Victor! - You're back! ”

Seeing Long Yun approaching, the little man Suvorov and the pilot next to him all ran up and looked him up and down with joy.

Isn't it? He had lost his message in the battle before, and everyone in the regiment was very worried about him these days. Now that they are happy to see that this super ace has returned safely, unscathed and unharmed.

After all, Viktor Rezenov is already the spiritual pillar of the regiment, and he is the god of air killing that they are proud of!

"Hey! I haven't seen you for a few days, how is it in the group? ”

"It's still the same! Now the war is not as tight as it used to be, but it is not easy to deal with. - And! You've been promoted to Major! ”

Suvorov happily patted him on the shoulder and introduced the pilot next to him to the super ace.

The other pilot, Long Yun didn't know, should be a novice who had been added, and at this time he also looked at him with admiration, rubbing his hands a little excitedly.

"Iskere, this time you sit in the back, I know our trump card has itchy hands! - Victor, how about flying a two-seater? This kid admires you so much, satisfy his curiosity, right? ”

"Haha! No problem. ”

Long Yun nodded, he hadn't touched the joystick for a long time, and besides, it was the first time he could fly a two-seater, although the equipment and functions of the trainer type and the single-seat type were almost the same, so he was also a little curious.

After taking off from the airport, the two fighters flew north in a two-plane formation, soon crossing the Swiss-French border. Coming to the sky over France again, Long Yun didn't have anything to worry about; Now the land below has been controlled by the Warsaw Pact, and the activity of enemy aircraft in the surrounding area is not frequent.

When they set off before, the regiment also arranged it like this, and the path was kept behind the battle line, and they didn't want the super ace they had just rescued to go wrong and catapult into the enemy's control area.

Not long after they flew out of the fighter plane, or about five minutes after they entered the French border, the ground guidance information sent by the navigation channel showed that a small formation of enemy planes approached about 50 kilometers to the west, prompting them to evade immediately.

"Thirty-one! We turn to the direction of two o'clock! ”

On the radio, Suvorov shouted a little anxiously. Before leaving for today's mission, the regiment repeatedly warned him to be careful, not to engage in battle unless absolutely necessary, and to escort Viktor Rezenov safely to the base.

Needless to say, Long Yun probably understood his considerations, so the two MiGs adjusted their course and turned to fly due north. When he first saw the planes that came to pick him up, he saw that the two planes were fully armed, and there were a lot of R-27 and R-73, Long Yun knew that the sky in Europe was far from being so peaceful now, and he was actually ready to deal with emergencies.

However, some things are like this, and the more you try to avoid them, the more you can't get rid of them; As the ground information prompted that the enemy aircraft formation continued to fly eastward, Long Yun immediately realized that if they continued to fly like this, they were maintaining a T-shaped approach with the opponent.

The radar of the fighter aircraft can only see the target in the cone ahead, and now they are flying north, and the opponent is flying east to the west of them, which means that they cannot see the opponent, but the opponent can see them.

How can this continue?

Of course, they now have the option to climb with afterburner and accelerate directly. But this is tantamount to running away, and it is impossible for Long Yun to do it. He hadn't fought an air battle for a long time, and Long Yun's desire to fight suddenly exploded, he judged the shape of friend and foe, and then contacted Suvorov on the radio.

"Zero Seven! I am now out of contact with the enemy, and the direction is due west! ”

"-What?!" Suvorov was obviously quite shocked, what was this Viktor going to do?

Even if it's an ace, you don't have to work so hard, right? The regiment asked him to escort this guy to the base safely, but he couldn't go wrong! "Thirty-one, don't get out of it! - You keep course, I turn to meet the enemy! ”

Probably knowing that Long Yun was itching when he encountered the enemy plane, Suvorov planned to go to intercept the opponent himself and cover him to fly back to the base quickly. In the future, he will take to the air to fight, and now he is piloting a relatively clumsy trainer, so don't join in the fun!

"Nope! - Then come too! On the thirty-one, keep the formation and turn to the direction of nine o'clock to meet the enemy! Long Yun immediately guessed Suvorov's intentions, and he smiled lightly.

Who else in the skies of Europe could let him flee in a plane?

Are you kidding! Even if it weren't for the previous German guy, if it weren't for the enemy planes watching him, and the fact that he was too risky to manipulate, he wouldn't necessarily end up fighting with him. "Don't worry, let's go say hello and leave!"

After saying that, he said hello to the young man in the back seat: "Hey, young man, we are going to greet the Yankees who have crossed the border, you can sit down!" ”

With that, he pushed the rudder out of the slope with his sidestick, and then made a sharp turn to the left and accelerated away.

"Hey-thirty-one-!" Finding that this guy turned his head to meet the enemy by himself, Suvorov shouted, still sighed helplessly, and then followed the side turn to catch up.

Maybe the aces are all so belligerent? Seeing an enemy plane is like not dying. However, if it weren't for such indomitable progress, it probably wouldn't have become a super trump card, right? Thinking in his heart, Suvorov hurriedly drove the afterburner to speed up, he had already made up his mind that even if he was shot down, he would safely escort Viktor back to the base.

Victor, who is a propaganda model for the Red Air Force, must not have any more accidents.

Flying along the eastward course was the 1st Division of the 17th Fighter Wing of the United States, stationed in central France.

In previous large-scale air battles, they suffered heavy losses under the strong pressure of the Soviet Air Force; But when the French were in flux and on the verge of a change, NATO's European Command still ordered them to fight to the death.

In any case, since the French Republic is going to surrender in disguise like World War II, it is probably a consideration to hit as deep as possible at the opponent's targets before being expelled by the renegade French. As to whether this is reasonable, and whether it is worthy of the loss of manpower and fighters of the wings,

Since they have not yet been transferred to Spain or England, isn't their cannon fodder true enough to be obvious?

Now, Captain Anderson, the pilot of the F-16, is in such a depressed mood. The "Fighting Falcon", which was full of bombs under the wing and full of fuel tanks, flew like a heavy discus, and he had done enough of this sortie mission without escort and electronic cover.

When will I be able to go home and leave this place of war?

Looking at the gloomy sky, the driver did not have the slightest premonition that his question would no longer be answered.

Because he's flying toward doom.
