Chapter 439 Dilemma
According to time, the current marshalling of the Arsenal business jets should be more than 100 kilometers away. In more than an hour, the Global Hawks took more than ten minutes to avoid it at one time, most of the time was flying south at 600 kilometers per hour, and there were about ten minutes in the middle to accelerate to 700 kilometers per hour. It was calculated that it flew southward for 5,600 kilometers.
Duke and the others were originally more than 700 kilometers away from the airspace where they discovered the Global Hawk. With a flight speed of about 1,000 kilometers per hour at Gulfstream g650, even if they took a straight line and took a shortcut, they were still more than 100 kilometers away. If the target keeps flying around now, it will take less than a few minutes to meet Duke and the others.
But obviously this is not the case. Soon after reshooting the pictures and information of the designated target, Global Hawk turned again and flew southward. This distance of more than 100 kilometers became a huge problem. According to the difference in flight speed between the Duke business jet marshal and the target, it will take at least 15 minutes to catch up.
15 minutes, for ordinary people, it is just a matter of passing the time after a few QQ chats, but for Cheng Chongjin and others, it is a fatal fifteen minutes!
With the remaining fuel volume of their fighter jets, they can support the maximum 20-minute limit.
If you follow it for another 15 minutes, it will basically be like committing suicide!
The fighter jets without power are in the air, and they are really a pile of scrap iron, even worse than scrap iron.
"The command center calls Hunter No. 1! The command center calls Hunter No. 1!" At this time, the command center called the command center from Cheng Chongjin's communication system. Cheng Chongjin heard the call from the command center and felt even more confused. This call, no need to be true. This command center reminded his squadron to find a place to land.
"Command Center, I am Hunter No. 1, please give me instructions!" Cheng Chongjin calmed down his emotions and replied.
"Hunter 1, about 100 kilometers ahead of you right, with a simple airport **, xx, so please fly to the airport to land immediately." Sure enough, the people in the command center did not forget Cheng Chongjin and them, and had already found a reserve airport based on Cheng Chongjin's location information.
"Command Center, Hunter One understands," Cheng Chongjin heard this order and did not rush to send it to Li Dashan, Tong Fangyong and others. For him, the current combat mission is not over yet. Withdrawing from the battlefield at this time is like becoming a deserter on the battlefield.
He picked up the map and quickly glanced at the terrain hundreds of kilometers ahead. Suddenly, a familiar island attracted his attention. It was an island about 300 kilometers away along the current route. Because it was located in a sensitive area, many national defense facilities were built on it. Cheng Chongjin had visited the island and knew that there was a roundabout road on that island, with a relatively solid and straight road.
Maybe he could do this himself, Cheng Chongjin stared at this island, and a bold idea flashed in his mind unstoppably.
He just weighed the trade-offs for a few seconds and then made up his mind.
"Hunter 1 Call Command Center, Hunter 1 Call Command Center" Cheng Chongjin did it as soon as he said that, and began to call his superiors to prepare to sell his new combat plan.
"This is the command center. Please speak Hunter 1!" the command center replied.
"Command Center, Hunter 1 requests to continue tracking the target!" Cheng Chongjin made his request. Before he could explain, the base leader of the command center was furious and said, "Nothing! Hunter 1, I order you to fly to the designated airport immediately!"
After saying that, the base leader felt that he was not exhausted and then scolded, "Do you still want to die if you do so recklessly? Do you still want to fighter planes? Fly to the designated airport immediately."
Faced with the storm-like reprimand of the base leader, Cheng Chongjin did not feel wronged, but felt an indescribable warmth. Because the base leader was so strict with everyone on weekdays, at this time, he still put the safety of his squadron first. This kind of care cannot be seen at all. Only at critical moments can he feel the other side that the base leader would not show on weekdays.
"The command center, Hunter 1 requested to continue tracking and buy time for the hunter crew formation. If the target course remains unchanged, there is an island about 300 kilometers ahead of us. There is a defense frontier island. Build a relatively open ring road on the island and implement a forced landing." Cheng Chongjin repeated again, this time he said his plans in one breath so as not to be interrupted by the base leader again.
"Of course, I will order Hunter 2 and Hunter 3 to fly to the designated airport immediately. They have no experience in forcing landing and are not suitable for carrying out this mission. With the dynamic information of the target provided by Hunter 1, I am confident that I can bite the target on a single plane and continue to provide information for the hunter formation."
The base leader heard Cheng Chongjin's latest suggestion and did not get angry again this time. Instead, he found a military map and carefully checked the situation on Cheng Chongjin's route. In the sea about 300 kilometers ahead of Cheng Chongjin, there was indeed a national defense island, which was about ten square kilometers. In addition to the fortifications on the island, the transportation line around the island was also relatively complete.
However, when landing on such a strange road without an airport, the difficulty coefficient and danger are more than ten times higher than landing at an airport. Moreover, on the ring road, even if the roadbed is strong enough, it would be good to have two standard lanes for a ring road, and it would be good to have a roadbed on both sides to calculate that it is about ten meters wide.
The wingspan of the fighter jet that Cheng Chongjin drove was more than 7 meters, and it is easy to imagine the difficulty of forcing landing on such a highway.
Although the base leader knew that as an old pilot, Cheng Chongjin had great experience in flying and emergency landing, landing on such a small island road was still too dangerous. Cheng Chongjin was fighting for his own life!
As a leader, the base leader understood that his safest treatment was to order Cheng Chongjin to execute according to the established reserve plan. Although the combat mission was not completed so well, the safety of Cheng Chongjin's squadron could be fully guaranteed.
However, Cheng Chongjin's words impressed him from another aspect. If Cheng Chongjin could really win this time for the marshal's support fleet formation and allow the support fleet to bite the target, then this combat mission would be really perfect.
This decision is really difficult to make. The base leader was so depressed that he wanted to scratch his head. Cheng Chongjin really gave him a huge problem.
