Curiosity is curiosity, and confidentiality regulations are strictly observed.

Dozens of seconds later, the two J-10Ds, which temporarily changed their flight training missions, pierced the sky like sharp swords, flew through the thin clouds and mist at medium and low altitudes, climbed back to the eternal blue altitude of 10,000 meters, and returned to the embrace of endless blazing sunshine.

The altitude is 12,000 meters, the speed is Mach 0.8, the route is northwest, and the destination is 900 kilometers away from the Jiucheng trial base.

After flying smoothly along the scheduled route for five minutes, Zhou Hai and Su Peng saw the escort target with a calm posture -- the Y-20 strategic transport plane, known as the 'Kunpeng' codename.

The black-gray fuselage, conventional aerodynamic layout, wingspan of 45 meters, cantilever upper monowing integrating mainstream supercritical airfoil technology, and the ordinary and stable T-tail.

This is the latest addition to the Air Force's combat sequence, with a maximum take-off weight of up to 220 tons, condensing a variety of cutting-edge aviation technology, and is a masterpiece of AVIC's westward flight.

"Boom!"

The louder and surging sound of the aero engine resounded through the world, the four engines rolled up bursts of turbulent vortices, and the Y-20 strategic transport plane, which had a gentle and calm attitude, flew out after climbing to an altitude of 12,000 meters.

"It's a big ......"

Zhou Hai quietly stared at the behemoth in the airspace in front of him, a touch of memory appeared in the depths of his eyes, and he remembered the picture of taking a free ride after the parachute diving assessment in Hai Province, and the joystick moved forward slightly, adjusted the state of the fuselage, and gradually slowed down.

When he first came into contact with the Y-20, he was just a student of the Air University who had never even been exposed to flight simulation.

"Call Wild Boar No. 1, this is the Haiyan squadron, and two of our planes are ordered to escort you throughout the journey."

Su Peng, who served as the chief plane, had a serious face, adjusted the radio channel, and according to the information obtained, sent a message to the Y-20 'Kunpeng' crew to carry out a simple rendezvous and handover ceremony.

"Wild Boar One received, thank you very much, Petrel squadron." The voice of the commander of the Y-20 'Kunpeng' crew came out.

After a simple handover, No. 008 J-10D changed its attitude and swept to the right, Su Peng gave Zhou Hai a hint and gave an order: "Zero, I am right and you are left, pay attention to the impact of high-altitude turbulence, upgrade to a second-level combat readiness state, and in case of sudden danger, you can fire freely." ”

"Understood."

Zhou Hai nodded in understanding, his face was serious, he raised his vigilance, stepped on the rudder in the left direction, and controlled the war eagle under him to fly to the left side of the Yun-20 'Kunpeng'.

He had endured the hardships of high-altitude turbulence, and as for the possible sudden danger, Zhou Hai didn't think that someone would choose to attack two high-performance fighters in the sky of the southwest region.

This is both a provocation and a search for death, and at the same time exists only in the imagination.

It was noon and it was hot.

The two J-10Ds adjusted the escort lineup one on the left and one on the right, flew steadily, surrounded the slightly bulky and slow Y-20 'Kunpeng', and the three Sky Eagles with different roles flew straight to the Jiucheng trial training base in the depths of the northwest at a standard formation cruising speed of Mach 0.7 along the predetermined route.

Leave the mountains of the northwest of Sichuan Province behind the endless and steep peaks, leap to the end of the mist-shrouded Kunlun Mountains, skim the picturesque grasslands, and then cross the Qilian Mountains, which have an average altitude of 4,000 meters.

About an hour later, after a steady flight of 900 kilometers, Zhou Hai and Su Peng, who were on high alert, escorted the Y-20 'Kunpeng', which was transporting high-secrecy items, to its destination in Gan Province, Huaxia District 51.

The journey was safe, there were no dangers, and there were no possible dangers and attacks.

The whole flight mission is like the most ordinary flight cruise.

The barren and barren yellow-brown Gobi Desert, the fast wind that carries fine sand and dust, and the endless boundless desert that can be called the forbidden area of life, all the unique scenery that belongs to the northwest style comes into view.

Twenty kilometers away, the highly martial law Jiucheng trial training base has been clearly visible, two 3,500-meter-long main take-off runways, the apron area is a neatly parked large and medium-sized aircraft, and six J-20 'Weilong' parked in a separate apron area.

"This is the well-known wine city trial base, how about it?" Su Peng asked Zhou Hai.

Zhou Hai looked at the trial base on the ground below, observed silently, and nodded lightly: "It's okay." ”

As far as the eye can see, there are 3 Y-20 'Kunpeng', 6 J-20 'Weilong', 4 J-16, 4 J-10C, 2 H-6K 'Ares', and various types of fighters parked on the ground.

In addition to the complexity and variety of equipment types, the scale of the base is worthy of being the largest in Asia, and even the Rongcheng base, which ranks second among the national air bases, is inferior to the Jiucheng trial training base, which ranks fifth in the overall ranking.

Of course, Zhou Hai felt that the ground crew at the Jiucheng base had to scold his mother, especially the ground crew squadron in charge of ammunition.

"Haiyan squadron, this is Wild Wolf No. 1, our plane has arrived at its destination and is about to land, thank you very much for your full escort, I give you a five-star review."

At this time, the voice of the commander of the Y-20 'Kunpeng' crew came out of the radio channel, and he did not hesitate to praise himself and express his gratitude.

"Haiyan squadron received, thank you for your five-star review, goodbye, Wolf One." After completing the task, Su Peng's words were relaxed and relaxed, without any serious and solemn attitude before, he turned around and prepared to return.

Five-star reviews?

The corners of Zhou Hai's mouth twitched, he couldn't help but speak, and a feeling of delivering a courier involuntarily welled up in his heart.

The elite of the golden helmet air combat and the 'rookie' pilot serve as couriers, package and delivery, escort the whole process, and put an end to all dangers?

"Goodbye, Petrel Squadron."

With the last goodbye, the huge Y-20 'Kunpeng' obtained the qualification to enter the venue, submerged into the core no-fly zone of the Jiucheng trial training base, lowered the altitude, and was wrapped in the magnificent momentum like a majestic mountain range, facing the straight main runway built in the Gobi Desert.

The Wolf Y-20 landed smoothly and naturally, and then drove steadily to the parking stand, opening the metal cargo door with the tail closed.

The crew that carried out this top-secret strategic-class transport mission was composed of the best members of the Air Force's transport aircraft unit.

"Buzz!"

The hatch slowly opened, and an elderly man in his 60s, dressed in light blue overalls, was in good spirits, accompanied by several staff members, and stepped into the spacious and advanced cargo hold, lifting the green shield covering the shipping box.

Directly in front of the top secret white eye-catching words, into the line of sight.

Inside the box are the latest cutting-edge weapons systems.

……

After the Y-20 Kunpeng landed at the Jiucheng trial training base, the whole escort mission ended.

Due to the sudden mission that disrupted the original arrangement, the Pengcheng base had to cancel the ultra-low-altitude flight training in the mountainous area and ordered Zhou Hai and Su Peng to return directly.
