Great Power Fighting Falcon

The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant in the south. Most of the plateau glaciers here are covered with snow. Many places have frozen to form glaciers. The canyons that are passable in summer are also blocked by ice. The plateau is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, and the height of many snow-capped mountains is 7,000 to 8,000 meters. To take pictures of ground targets requires traveling between these peaks, which is more difficult and dangerous than the Beikou Mountains.

In this environment, Li Zhan prefers to use visual data as a supplement and control the speed and altitude of the flight. The J-8FR is really not suitable for low-altitude and low-speed flight, so it still has to keep the airspeed above 300 to ensure safety.

There is nothing interesting to see in the glaciers, and there is nothing interesting to see in the snow-capped mountains. The main reason is that the target is not in these places.

The altitude on the west side of the plateau drops sharply, and you can see the green hilly plains in the past, which is in sharp contrast with the glaciers on this side of the plateau.

Li Zhan's target is at the intersection of plateau glaciers and hilly plains, and many simulated targets are hidden in the mountain cols, woods, and slopes there. There are bunkers, artillery positions, strongholds, anti-aircraft missile positions, field warehouses, small radar stations, combat readiness roads, etc. All imaginable enemy targets have been simulated and are very realistic.

He was still a little scared. After all, he had been accidentally shot before, which forced him to perform a Cobra maneuver in the J-7E.

The four J-8FRs each have their own division of labor, and the most dangerous and difficult branch route was assigned to Li Zhan, which shows that the superiors carefully considered it. No one will be afraid of the difficulty when assigning it to anyone. What the superiors consider is who should be responsible so that they can more confidently complete this tactical reconnaissance training operation and obtain the most valuable data to provide a more sufficient basis for the next step of actual combat training.

The difficulty of low-altitude penetration lies in low altitude. This tactic was first tried by Li Zhan and successfully turned into a training subject. Low-altitude photographic reconnaissance is actually based on low-altitude penetration, with penetration strikes replaced by penetration photography.

Therefore, his superiors asked Li Zhan to take on the most difficult part of the task - flying on the right side of the plateau glacier.

In other words, he must go down to a low altitude. To his left is a plateau glacier thousands of meters above sea level. If he is not careful, he will hit the mountain and crash. The most terrible thing is that the huge drop in the terrain creates very unstable airflow, which adds to the difficulty of flying.

Li Zhan repeatedly determined the position, and then called Lazhi, "This is Nighthawk Yaodong Yao, call Lazhi, it's over."

At this time, it has entered the control range of Lazhi, and Wuzhi has already handed over the command.

Lazhi's reply was very quick, saying, "Nighthawk Yaodongyao, Lazhi received it, I saw you, keep the heading altitude, now you are under my command, over."

"Nighthawk Yaodong Yaodong understands." Li Zhan replied, confirming the position again, and said, "It is ten kilometers away from the navigation landmark. Request to transfer to the mission route, completed."

Pulling the finger paused for more than ten seconds this time, and then commanded, "Yao Dong Yao, you can transfer to the mission route. I wish you all the best. See you at the next navigation landmark."

"Understood. See you at the next navigation landmark. Over."

Li Zhan turned the lever right and began to descend along the steep hillside on the west side of the plateau.

Because of the obstruction of the mountain peak, Li Zhan will not be able to maintain contact with the pull finger after descending to the handover zone. He will have to walk on his own for a section of the way down. He will not be able to regain altitude and pull the finger until he sees the next navigation landmark. contact.

The most difficult part of the road is here.

Li Zhan connected the communication signals to the full-band radio monitoring system. Just as he could hear the conversations of Nie Jianfeng and others before, he could now hear the communications of simulated enemy targets on the ground. The premise is to be able to decipher the signal. The radio reconnaissance system of the J-8FR has certain cracking capabilities. The cracking program is pre-loaded and the cracking is automatically completed after the signal is collected.

As a result, Li Zhan heard the messy conversation sounds, which were signals in several frequencies. He carefully adjusted the frequency, like listening to a radio, until a clear sound emerged.

Chili guala chili guala chili guala...

Li Zhan could understand a little bit and could roughly tell that they were nervous, but he couldn't hear the specific content.

Smiling slightly, Li Zhan continued to climb steadily. The average altitude of the transfer zone is only more than 500 meters, and some low-lying areas are even only more than 100 meters. Li Zhan was flying at the foot of the mountains where the plateau glaciers are located. When he dropped to an altitude of 600 meters, the turbulence suddenly increased. .

After carefully confirming the simulated targets that needed to be photographed marked on the mission map, Li Zhan put the cardboard aside, turned on the high-speed camera, and began to fly over the first target. He suspected that the Nighthawk Squadron had conducted such reconnaissance training operations before, because his superiors required him to shoot at a low altitude, and the ground height should not exceed 500 meters. This shows that superiors need to pay attention to details, otherwise a slightly higher height would be more appropriate to capture panoramic photos.

If this reconnaissance training operation is regarded as an exercise, then Li Zhan is playing the role of the Red Army at this time, and the group of people who simulated the enemy on the ground are the Blue Army. Both sides were acting in accordance with the requirements of their superiors. However, the Blue Army was not notified in advance and they were caught off guard.

The SU-27UBK responsible for the decoy mission have continued along their combat readiness patrol route. At this time, all the blue army ground targets in front of Li Zhan were quiet, living as usual. It was dinner time, it was time to eat. When it was time to take a break after eating, the officers and soldiers of one air defense position even held a barbecue dinner on the position, eating a lot of meat and drinking wine.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Li Zhan not to think smoothly.

He is not worried about the blue troops on the ground. What he should pay close attention to most is the turbulent airflow. He soon realized that he was flying in the turbulence at the foot of the mountain. Glancing at the data from the atmospheric data system, he was disappointed to find that the space for up and down movement was limited. The altitude given by his superiors was only one hundred meters, so he didn't have much room.

There is no other way except to control the flight attitude of a twelve-point mental control fighter.

The relative altitude is 300 meters, the flight speed is 300 kilometers per hour, and the heading is 120 degrees.

After successfully flying over the first target, the radar warning flashed crazily, and the mechanical female voice suddenly sounded: "Radar warning! Radar warning! Radar warning!"

The senior sister should be asked to record this warning sound. At least before being shot down, she can listen to the female voice that makes people unable to help but "first level combat readiness".

Li Zhan increased his speed slightly. He didn't dare to take any chances. If several surface-to-air missiles were fired at once, he would not be able to avoid them no matter what.

The higher the frequency of the alarm sound, the higher the threat.

It lasted for almost half a minute, but it was still calling, and it became more and more intensive, indicating that the threatening target was ahead.

Li Zhan had to make a choice.

He only has one YJ-91 anti-radiation air-to-ground missile. If he destroys it now, he will have no weapon to attack if more important targets appear later, so he must make a careful decision. This is a test of the pilot's ability to perform tasks alone and what to do to achieve maximum results without superior command. This is a very important component of this long-distance tactical reconnaissance training operation.

"emission!"

Li Zhan decisively powered on the YJ-91 anti-radiation air-to-ground missile without presetting parameters to the seeker, so he had to wait for the seeker to capture the signal to confirm the target. This process was not long. X seconds later, Li Zhan launched the missile, and then he decisively turned on the afterburner to accelerate.

The two jet engines of unknown model of No. 101 J-8FR roared wildly, pushing the fighter jet past the target ahead at low altitude and high speed.

After Li Zhan saw a ball of fire exploding in the woods ahead, he immediately pulled up his horse and climbed up. Accelerating to more than 900 kilometers per hour, the fighter jet quickly reached its maximum climb rate and quickly disappeared into the sky with the help of mountain peaks as cover.

The Blue Army's air defense position was stunned and could only watch as "that fast-flying" fighter jet disappeared...
