Chapter 295: A military salute is sufficient.
Unique Flying Shark!
Four gray-and-white navy-painted J-15 'Flying Shark' fighters exuded a fierce momentum, swept at high speed, shrouded in sunlight, and each wing was equipped with basic defense weapons, and the wingtips drew a subtle white air current.
In the distance, the Liaoning aircraft carrier battle group, which symbolizes the navy's cutting-edge military strength, sailed in the wind, and dozens of ships of various types left white spray on the sparkling sea.
On the top of the mast of the Liaoning aircraft carrier, a bright red and eye-catching August 1st military flag fluttered.
At this point, it was 9:50 a.m.
This is the area where the incident took place.
The scene of eighteen years ago is vivid and vaguely visible.
"Buzz!"
The screaming sound of the engine resounded all around, and four J-15 'Flying Shark' carrier-based aircraft flew head-on, under the command of Tianyan No. 1, swept past the formation group that maintained a neat lineup, turned around, reduced speed, and flew with the right side of the formation.
"Attention all machines, turn on the radio, and carry out the predetermined plan." The clear and serious voice of the Supreme Commander of Sky Eye One sounded, breaking the silence of the universal encrypted channel and issuing a new order.
When the order was issued, all the planes of the Air Force integrated formation turned on their radios, as did the four J-15 'Flying Shark' carrier-based planes that temporarily joined the formation.
Turn on the radio, slowly reduce the flight altitude, and face the vast sea below.
Today, the strongest squad of the Air Force arrived.
Today, the naval aircraft carrier battle group arrived.
The sky is blue and blue.
The wind is calm, and the blue waves are rippling.
Today, it's a good day.
"Comrades, I am the captain of the Liaoning, 18 years ago today, I believe everyone knows what happened, and this is why we are here today. A US EP-3 reconnaissance plane was operating over the exclusive economic zone in the southeastern waters of Hai Province, and the Chinese Navy's air force immediately dispatched two Jian-8 fighters to carry out the task of expelling and intercepting them, and its wingman Wang Wei was numbered 81192. ”
At this time, the voice of the supreme commander of the Liaoning suddenly resounded in the universal encryption channel and entered the ears of all the officers and men of the Air Force and Navy:
After Wang Wei's landline intercepted many times to no avail, he resolutely chose to use his life to defend national interests and the sovereignty and security of territorial airspace, and fulfill the oath promised to the August 1st Army Flag by enlisting in the army! Wang Wei, a pilot of our naval aviation unit, died heroically at the age of 33 with the rank of major, and was later posthumously awarded the honorary title of "Guardian of the Sea and Air" and the medal of first-class heroic model by his superiors, and was approved as a revolutionary martyr. ”
There was silence in the Universal Encryption Channel.
The atmosphere, dull and oppressive.
On the deck of the Liaoning aircraft carrier and the decks of all ships, there were already officers and men wearing white naval uniforms, all of whom performed traditional naval etiquette and silently looked at the sea ahead.
At this moment, Wang Zhuyu and others, who are juniors, all fell silent, driving the L-15C Falcon under them steadily, not knowing what to say.
Zhou Hai's face was calm, maintaining a horizontal flight attitude, his eyes staring at the rippling sea area, there was no sadness in his heart, only a heavy sense of mission.
Sadness?
Shed tears?
This is not what Wang Wei's predecessors wanted.
Coming to this sea area, Zhou Hai seemed to see the picture of eighteen years ago, those angry eyes, unyielding and blood-red, and the belief that even if he faced death, he would not take a step back.
Inheriting the spirit, moving forward with a heavy load, and defending the family and the country - this may be what Wang Wei's predecessors want to see, and it is also the core of this memorial ceremony.
"81192, these are five ordinary numbers, but the meaning behind it is not ordinary, it contains a spirit - the Chinese spirit, Wang Wei fulfilled the oath, interpreted the duties of soldiers, and told us one thing, do not forget the mission, do not forget the national shame."
The voice of the supreme commander of the Liaoning ship was low and distant: "Back then, we only had J-7 and J-8, and now we have J-20, J-16, J-15, J-11, J-10 and other advanced fighters, which is progress and strength, not only hope that Comrade Wang Wei will smile Jiuquan, but also hope that comrades will always remember the spirit passed by Wang Wei, and now, salute Comrade Wang Wei!" ”
The voice echoed through the radio in the ears of all officers and men.
Spirit!
It's like the soul of an army.
Today is the day of sacrifice for the martyr Wang Wei, which not only pays tribute to Wang Wei, but also allows the officers and soldiers to remember the precious spirit.
How critical was the situation back then?
If you dare to go to war, it means that you will rise and fail.
The reason why Wang Wei is so special is because he forced back the prying eyes of foreign enemies.
"Bang!"
In the sky, the Air Police 2000 strategic early warning plane, which was responsible for leading the formation, had its flight altitude reduced to 3,000 meters, and the smoke generating device temporarily installed at the tail of the aircraft was activated, emitting bursts of red smoke.
Two J-20 stealth fighters painted in silver and gray have narrow yellow smoke trailing their tails, blue smoke comes out from the Goshawk squadron in the second row, purple smoke comes out from the Silver Snake squadron in the third row, and four L-15C Falcons representing flight cadets emit green smoke that symbolizes vitality.
Four J-15 'Flying Shark' carrier-based aircraft painted by Hainan Airlines emitted dazzling orange smoke.
Fourteen fighters of various types of the Air Force and four fighters of the Hainan Air Force, under the leadership of the Air Police 2000, steadily hovered over this sea area.
Suddenly, the blue sky changed abruptly, and the smoke of various colors converged into a beautiful colorful color, like a blooming flower, swirling in the air for 3,000 meters.
This is the etiquette that belongs only to the pride of heaven.
"Buzz!"
In the distance, the entire ship of the Liaoning aircraft carrier battle group honked their horns to show respect, and the officers and men of the navy wearing white uniforms gave a military salute to the sea ahead.
There is no imaginary sadness, only a strong hope and vitality.
Sad?
Wang Wei, the heroic spirit who stayed in the sky above this sea area, probably didn't want to see it.
A soldier only needs an ordinary and all-encompassing military salute.
April 1 of this year was of great significance to the four flight cadets of the Shicheng Flying Academy, who experienced different places for the first time and learned the spirit passed down by their predecessors.
This triennial memorial ceremony came to an end soon at the resting place of the heroes of the South China Sea.
But this is not the end, but a new beginning.
When martyr Wang Wei saw the dazzling array of advanced fighters of the motherland, he might have shown a smile -- his right hand was slowly raised to give a military salute.
……
After this highly secret ceremony, the two J-20 stealth fighters broke away from the formation, climbed and flew, dragging the azure tail flame, and swept into the northern sky amid the sound of surging turbofan engines, disappearing into the shadows.
The four J-15 'Flying Shark' carrier-based planes turned around and returned to carry out air patrol missions, while the Liaoning aircraft carrier battle group turned to the south to continue its training mission.
Like a nanny, the Air Police 2000 strategic early warning aircraft climbed at an altitude of 10,000 meters with 12 fighters from the Goshawk Squadron, the Silver Snake Squadron, and the Eagle Squadron to return to the Quzhou base at a slow and leisurely standard cruising speed.
