In the take-off position, two flying sharks in gray and white paint are ready to go.

On the long plane, Li Mu skillfully inspected each system, and kept reporting: "The flight control system has been checked, the weapon system, the radar system, and the identification of friend or foe...... Teacher Dai, all systems have been checked, no problem. ”

Immediately, Dai Xi gave an order: "Let's take the next step." ”

"Yes!"

Li Mu began to call the tower, "Tower, this is Evil Shark 01, please take off." ”

"Shark 01, you can take off!"

Li Mu pushed the throttle pusher, staring at the display screen, when the thrust met the conditions, he released the brake, and the flying shark rushed out at once, after a short run of more than two hundred meters, Li Mu pulled the lever, and the flying shark jumped up. Although no catapult take-off was carried out, it was still basically operated in the manner of take-off from the aircraft carrier. The flying shark's ability to take off at short distances can be seen.

The flying shark piloted by Chen Changfeng and Zhang Xiongyi immediately took off, and their code name was Evil Shark 011.

The two flying sharks formed in the air and then flew all the way to the west. The armament of the two Flying Sharks is the same, each Flying Shark carries four air-to-air missiles of the Thunderbolt series, two of the combat type, two of which are medium-range types, and there is also an Air-Launched Sea/Ground missile of the Eagle Strike series hanging from the hardpoint on the belly.

It is not too much to say that it is armed to the teeth, this is definitely not a mount for daily combat readiness patrols. A general combat readiness patrol with four air-to-air missiles is already a very high level of combat readiness.

The departure time is fifteen o'clock sharp.

When climbing, Shark 01 was still a little wobbly, and after less than two minutes, it seemed to be very smooth. Dai Xi in the back cabin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was also very surprised. After more than a month of teaching, he found that he underestimated the principal. The principal's comprehension ability is very strong, the coordination of his limbs is also very powerful, and his memory is even more terrifying, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he will never forget it. In addition, he thought that the principal had suffered so many injuries, and his body must be somewhat unbearable. The result surprised him, after such a high-intensity flight training, he couldn't bear it, but the principal was still full of energy.

Before today, Li Mu had only flown the Flying Shark twice, and today was the third time, and the third time he was on a combat readiness patrol mission. There are two reasons why Li Mu strongly requested to carry out combat readiness patrol tasks. First, as the principal and also the supreme commander of the combat readiness duty unit of the teaching aviation brigade, he must understand and master the situation of the combat readiness patrol routes, the specific situation of each airspace, and the specific process of the entire combat readiness patrol flight, including what kind of situations may be encountered. He had to understand all of this. Second, this is one of his personal wishes, hoping to fly fighter planes over the South China Sea.

There is no doubt that the above will not pay for his wishes, and the approval of him to go to the sky to carry out combat readiness patrol tasks is entirely based on the first consideration.

The weather was nice and the sun was good. The sun, which gradually slanted to the west, still exuded a bright color without any obstruction.

"Flight console, Shark 01 arrives in the first turning airspace, ready to turn 60, over. Li Mu reported.

The tower replied: "Flight control center received, turn to 60, over." ”

Immediately, the formation began to turn south, flying close to the demarcation line.

No longer facing the sun, Li Mu felt much better, glanced at the flight data, and reported to the tower: "Flight console, Vicious Shark 01 speed 800, course 60, altitude 3000, over." ”

"Shark 01, please keep it, it's over. ”

"Understood, over. ”

Li Mu immediately called the wingman, "Dong Yu, please keep it." ”

"Received it, done. Chen Changfeng replied.

"I said Lao Chen, you have been here all along, and you are very familiar with this route, right?" Li Mu said with a smile.

Chen Changfeng said, "Lao Zhang must be very familiar with it, and I basically flew to the other side of the strait." ”

Zhang Xiongyi smiled, "Hehe, you can drive the plane back with your eyes closed." ”

"That's how aviation kerosene is burned, haha. Li Mu laughed.

The staff officers on duty in the ground command center couldn't help but look at each other and smile as they listened to the chatting of several leaders in the sky. It's not that they haven't seen the chief go to the sky, but they have never seen three full-division leaders go up at one time, and there is one of them at the army level.

The officers on the ground who are responsible for all kinds of support are false, saying that they are not nervous, and they even prepared rescue planes, which is not a joke at all.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if all the elite fighters that Vietnam took off at this time desperately shot down these two flying sharks, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Chinese naval aviation would lose half of its elite generals, and even that the Chinese naval aviation education would be set back by three or five years, there is absolutely this basis.

There was nothing wrong along the way, according to the route into the airspace of the South China Sea, Li Mu lowered the flight altitude, and looked down through the clear and transparent cabin window, the clear and intoxicating sea water, dotted with islands and reefs, and a circle of white around it was a wave formed by the waves hitting the islands and reefs. You can still vaguely see the long wake of the ocean-going freighter, but the freighter itself is difficult to see with the naked eye.

"Headmaster, the following is the international route, the islands and reefs you see are occupied by the Vietnamese. Dai Xi said.

Li Mu's brows jumped slightly, "Oh? ”

"Headmaster......

"Patrolling, that's not it. Li Mu interrupted Dai Xi's words with a smile, and then as soon as he pressed the pusher, the flying shark continued to descend in height and began to make a hovering action. The wingman naturally heard it, and immediately maneuvered with the long plane.

The ground command center naturally heard the call in the channel, but none of them could stop Li Mu's movements, and besides, this was indeed one of the contents of the patrol.

Evil Shark 01 has been lowering the flight altitude to fifty meters, and Li Mu actually wants to fly over the sea!

Dai Xi was frightened and said, "Headmaster, I'll control it!"

He was not afraid of death, but was worried that Li Mu would not be able to accomplish such a flight maneuver very well! Li Mu was just a novice! Even among the combat units of the HNA Navy, there were not many pilots who could master this subject. When the sea and sky are colorful, the height of 50 meters is extremely dangerous. A fighter plane flying at high speed can dive headlong into the sea in less than a second. When the HNA unit began to train in this subject, the pilots who participated in the training all submitted suicide notes.

The low-altitude and low-speed performance of the Flying Leopard is very good, and it is most suitable for sea-skimming and infiltration attacks, but the air superiority fighters with excellent air mobility are not suitable for sea-skimming flights. In this regard, even the Su-30 is inferior to the Flying Leopard.

The flying leopard mentioned here is naturally no longer the old flying leopard that uses Spey engines.

Using a flying shark to fly fifty meters across the sea, it is a compliment to say that Li Muyi is bold, but you don't dare to say that he is looking for death. Therefore, Dai Xi can only strongly demand that he control it.

However, Li Mu obviously would not give up control, he said, "Don't worry, sit tight." ”

Maintaining speed, Vicious Shark 01 entered the sea-skimming flight route, if the speed cannot be maintained, the fighter will fall into a stall state, which means a crash, and there is no chance to pull up at such a height.
