At the same time that Chen Nian was making the final improvements to the data of the F119 engine, an EP-3E reconnaissance plane was quietly crossing the sky and flying in the direction of the distant land.

The 24 people on the crew were running at full capacity, and the electronic reconnaissance equipment had all been turned on, and even the usual swaggering co-pilot put away his cynical looks.

The reason is simple, this is not a simple reconnaissance mission as usual, but an extremely dangerous temptation.

The plane climbed to an altitude of 8,000 meters and began to fly around the coastline within 40 nautical miles of standby, taking advantage of this short gap, the main pilot Lyons exhaled deeply, turned his face to the side of the co-pilot Weiss and said:

"I don't know what they think...... Entering a sensitive area at this point in time, we will be directly knocked down, right? ”

Weiss, who was on the side, shook his head and replied:

"That's not true, they won't fire at us, because that would mean going to war."

"But just because they don't dare to fire doesn't mean they won't make any moves."

"Our intelligence indicates that the other side has begun to practice drum maneuvers in a targeted manner, and it is said that a certain flying group is still studying the case of the Barents Sea scalpel......"

"They are not weak opponents, especially front-line pilots."

"Compared to us, they are backward in equipment, so a lot of the time they want to use their lives to make up for the gap."

"The slightest mistake can lead to a lose-lose situation."

"So it's better to be careful, keep an eye on the radar, and if there are more than two fighters, immediately slow down and descend and get out of the danger zone."

Hearing Weiss's words, Lyons nodded slightly.

As the captain, his crisis response experience is naturally no worse than Weiss, and he actually knows these things in his heart.

It's just that in such tense moments, no one can maintain complete calm and restraint, but always hope to find some comfort in others.

And a strong teammate is undoubtedly his greatest reliance in the face of danger.

The plane was still flying smoothly, and Lyons informed the crew for the third time to inspect the equipment, and then spoke:

"Everyone's inspect the self-destruct device, and if something happens, I'm asking you to destroy all classified data before the plane lands, understand?"

"The situation of the last time must not be repeated, if they get the data again, the electronic system of this aircraft can simply be sent to them!"

"Understood."

"Roger."

"Don't worry, they won't be able to catch our ...... this time"

A chaotic reply came over the radio, and just then, Lyons received the signal "Mission Begins".

He gave Vis a look, then turned the nose of the plane, and after a sharp turn, the plane began to lose altitude.

It was not until about 6,000 meters that the descent stopped.

At this time, this EP-3E was only 100 nautical miles away from their target.

"Attention, interception to the Huaxia Fleet communications activity, location judgment, Lingshui airfield."

"Intercepted communication activity to the sea surface, location information is as follows......"

"The radar did not detect air targets."

"Communication Activity Signal Enhancement, Start Signal Environment Recording and Analysis ......"

As the broadcasts were delivered one by one, Lyons's mood became more and more nervous.

These are just some routine actions, if it is in normal times, even if the other party discovers their own actions, there is a high probability that they will not take the initiative to attack and drive away.

This is because you don't make any offensive temptations other than the loitering record.

But today is different.

Today's task is not to stay at a distance of about 70 nautical miles from the target position for reconnaissance as usual, but to continue to advance to a range of 40 nautical miles.

This distance, although it still does not enter the territorial waters of the opposing side, has already entered the coverage range of shore-based radars.

In other words, in the event of a conflict, the opponent's shore-based anti-aircraft fire can directly hit itself!

Lyons felt a cold sweat break out on his head.

At this moment, a new broadcast suddenly came out of the headphones.

"Two flying machines have been found ahead, and the Huaxia people are coming!"

Lyons' heart tightened, and he immediately ordered:

"Lower the height, lower the speed!"

He secretly prayed in his heart that the two fighters on the other side must not take radical action, otherwise, it would be a trivial matter if the mission could not be completed, and if they could not return, it would be over......

Just a few minutes later, two yellow-colored fighter jets flew over the EP-3E, followed by the call of each other in the public communication channel.

"This is the Huaxia Navy training area, you have entered our training area, please leave immediately, please leave immediately......"

Weiss, who was on the side, looked at Lyons and asked:

"What should I do?"

Lyons turned his head to look through the porthole at the fighter plane on his left that was constantly shuttling and flying, his expression serious.

With the speed of the EP-3E further reduced, the two J-8s were obviously already a little overwhelmed.

Moreover, they did not take more deterrent actions as soon as they met, as they expected.

Does that mean that you can still ....... Keep up the challenge?

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and replied:

"Leave them alone, slow down and keep going!"

Vis looked at him in surprise and asked incredulously:

"Lyons, are you sure you won't return?"

"No return! Look, Ves, they don't dare to do anything to us! ”

"It's not just us who are afraid of them, they are afraid of us too!"

"We are afraid of losses, and they are also afraid of causing further conflicts, because now they simply do not have the strength to fight us!"

"So, they can only keep retreating, and now they have no bottom line!"

"That's what the base is really trying to do...... They just want us to keep the bottom line of the Chinese people low! ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Weiss immediately understood the situation.

He no longer hesitated, and directly turned off the public communication channel, and cooperated with Lyons to continue to control the plane to reduce altitude.

After just ten minutes, the two J-8s were completely unable to follow their companions, and could only keep shuttling around the EP-3E.

And such a shuttle does not pose any threat to the EP-3E.

"Hahaha, Lyons, they really don't dare to do anything to us!"

"These Huaxia people, they can't fight against us at all!"

Vis smirked, and a smile appeared on Lyons' face.

"I should have guessed a long time ago...... Well, I'll admit I was scared by what happened to Bruni before. ”

"But now I understand."

"This is not an invasion of airspace, how can a country that has not even established an air defense identification zone pose a threat to us in the public waters?"

"No matter how much we toss, that's all they do."

"Keep flying...... Today we will definitely not see their warships. ”

"However, as long as we lower their bottom line one at a time, one step at a time, maybe one day, we can actually fly over the heads of tourists on their shores......"

Vis nodded approvingly, then asked with some concern:

"But we don't have any weapons....."

"Weapons?"

Lyons sneered.

"We don't have weapons, do they have?"

"Look at those two antique fighter jets, they're just toys."

"Their J-10 is also a toy, what can they do with us with that kind of toy?"

"What's more...... The base behind us, the country behind the base, is our real weapon......"
