Chapter 922: Forced Landing

"Rescuing a parachuting pilot" seems to Li Gejian to be a complete fool's dream.

However, after a quick look at the air situation information sent by the ALSA command center to search for threats, Li Gejian found that there were no FSA fighters in the surrounding sky, and the anti-aircraft missile firing on the ground had also been temporarily suspended.

As for what method he is going to use to rescue the ECJA strong woman who is parachuting?

In response to this question, Li Gejian, who piloted the Blue Arrow F-15E "Attack Eagle", has a unique advantage that other ALSA pilots, and even the ECJA "Hurricane" fleet, does not have - his current mount, although a modified version of the "Attack Eagle" that a pilot can fully control, is still a two-seat heavy fighter.

So now, the plan for young people is as simple and straightforward as this:

He wanted to try it, force a landing on this rebel-controlled field airfield, contact the parachuted ECJA pilot to infiltrate the airport, and then scoop up the female man, and then forcibly take off and escape!

……

"Attention to all aircraft, temporarily issue a ground support mission, enter the attack route in a two-plane formation in turn, and then calibrate the target together!"

Time was of the essence and there was no room for much thought, and with some air communication and coordination, the attack on the rebel airfield was immediately launched.

Just a minute or two earlier, after witnessing the fall of the 22+07 "Hurricane" fighter during the accompanying process, Major Sara Lopez was also really liberal-controlled in the zhì area, and Raul Alvarez, who had always been calm, was very anxious at this time, but he heard the ALSA pilot's suggestion. Still silently hesitated for a few seconds.

That abominable ALSA mercenary, the kid who made Sara angry. He actually offered to make a forced landing, and then took the major and ran away with him. This-

This kind of plan, no matter how you think about it, is like a fantasy dream!

Flying fighter jets to land on enemy airfields and rescue pilots who crashed and parachuted out are probably only seen in Hollywood fiery war movies; In reality, the only outcome of doing so may be to be hit into a fireball by ground anti-aircraft fire, but seeing Sara Lopez's parachute disappear into the background of the dusk earth, the almost frantic lieutenant colonel can only turn his heart sideways and respond loudly in the channel:

"-Okay!

But even if you're flying a two-seater. And what about anti-aircraft fire around the airfield? Also, if the operation is successful, how much fuel do you have left, and will you be able to fly with us all the way back to Diyarbakir? ”

"...... Diabel?"

Anxiously ready to take the plunge, but before that, he needed to communicate with the ECJA fleet and let them act as a fire support helper, Li Gejian didn't react to the meaning of Raul Alvarez's words at first, and then resolutely rejected the lieutenant colonel's assumption of arrangement:

"Hey, ECJA pilots, there's no way I'm going to Turkey with you!

First of all, my landline was really low on fuel; Secondly. You'd better understand that it's us at ALSA who are helping your army rescue people in distress. Do you want you to tell me what to do, how to do it, and where to go? Everyone is a peer, come to a happy word, whether you are willing to be an assistant in order to save your comrades, if you do, it's decided! ”

"Oh......!"

Just now he shouted in an anxious tone, but the lieutenant colonel was dumbfounded by the young man in the channel, he thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, who said that there is not a two-seater fighter in the ECJA fleet?

"Alright! We immediately organized fire suppression, but now the shape is very chaotic, you must also be careful, don't be too forced! ”

"Got it! - Look at me. ”

Having just finished a painful large-scale air battle, and now he is about to take the risk of making a forced landing in front of the enemy, Li Gejian's all-encompassing statement is naturally not a reckless effort, but the result of careful consideration. The pilot plane was passing through a large low-altitude dust storm, and he had roughly observed the situation near the airport, and sure enough, similar to his previous suspicions, somehow it seemed that a battle had just broken out here, and one of the warplanes parked next to the runway of the airport was burning, apparently under the heavy bombardment of artillery shells or rocket launchers like the black smoke of the buildings next to it.

Seeing such a scene, the young pilot was a little more confident, the Liberals on the ground may be in chaos at this time, and they are fighting fiercely with opponents who are not known to kill, so if he takes advantage of the chaos to land on the airport, wait for the female man from ECJA to come and take off, and then take off urgently, this matter really has some hope of success!

However......

What if he himself misses in the adventure, or even gets hit directly and explodes?

Such a terrible scene flashed in his mind, but Li Gejian did not hesitate to extinguish it at once, on the battlefield, there is never room for people to think before and after, weigh what the pros and cons are, and let the time pass in hesitation is the biggest pros and cons, as for the risk between life and death?

Hmph, when it comes to the battlefield, people who don't do anything die the fastest!

Li Gejian, who made a decision, simply drove the fighter plane all the way to a low-altitude raid, and searched for the traces of the parachute pilot with the help of the coordinates transmitted by the ECJA long plane, so that Long Yun on the ground could see it by chance, but the two young people who were very close did not find anyone.

Lieutenant Colonel Raul Alvarez, who led the team, communicated briefly with the ALSA commander on the public channel to confirm that the other party would not lend a helping hand or intervene, so he immediately ordered the fleet to reorganize and prepare for a round of high-intensity air fire support in the area near the Mayadin airport.

Of course, the so-called "high-intensity support" is also a problem for the "Hurricanes", who only carry air-to-air weapons, and the only means available to the ECJA pilots are the 30-millimeter "DEFA" cannon.

However, this is not the greatest difficulty for the lieutenant colonel's order, but because Raul Alvarez's order is clearly improvised, completely contrary to the command center's instructions to "disengage"; Although the commanders of the rear knew about the fall of Sarah Lopez, they did not think it was a big deal, but sent a search team of two helicopters to the south of the "Syrian no-fly zone" to carry out search and rescue.

For this decision of the command, the lieutenant colonel sitting in the 22+16 "hurricane" can only report a trace of contempt, he feels that these generals are really complete wine bags and rice bags, when this kind of dust storm is full of sky, which aviation unit will happily send a helicopter to carry out the mission?

If you count on the search and rescue deployment of the Combined Air Force, wait until a lot of official accents and nonsense are done through the process, then it will be too late!

"Lieutenant Colonel, the command center's instructions don't allow us to act without permission!"

"Now it's urgent, Frank! But we only have aviation artillery, lieutenant colonel, how to plan a specific attack operation? ”

"Don't worry about it so much, I see,"

Raul Alvarez didn't ask for more confusion about his subordinates, the ECJA wasn't a team that was good at ground attack, but they had to do something to cover the ALSA "Attack Eagle" now; Fortunately, the previous baptism of large-scale ground-to-air missiles seemed to have exhausted the tactical potential of the Liberal air defense forces, and at the moment there was not even a single shadow of a surface-to-air missile in the sky over Meadin, and even the radar irradiation signal had almost died down, and it was still relatively advantageous to the low-flying attacks of the "Hurricanes."

"Now the ground anti-aircraft firepower is not strong, all planes must be vigilant, enter a low altitude to standby, and wait for the leading aircraft to confirm the distribution of ground firepower points, and then another wave of air strikes to bulldoze them!"

"- Okay, Lieutenant Colonel!"

After receiving the lieutenant colonel's order, while several "Hurricane" fighters in the sky were breaking away from the ALSA fleet and reorganizing into formation, the anxious Li Gejian had already piloted the plane to fly low over the Tigris River.

Hovering at low altitude around the field airfield he had just discovered, observing the route, he was surprised to find that the airfield, which was originally only full of smoke and fire, had been plunged into a fierce battle, and from the cockpit, he could see some soldiers firing with guns, and the guards at the airport should of course be the Liberal Party forces, who seemed to have been attacked by heavy fire, and hastily engaged in a series of blows, but they did not know who the attacker was, could it be the new Iraqi party?

Li Gejian has no time to think about this question now, he just feels that things are getting more and more tricky.

Whoever is attacking the airport is a serious security threat to him, who wants to make a forced landing there and then take off again.

But the matter has come to this point, and the communication signals are intermittent, should we give up at the last moment to save the "comrades-in-arms"?

Damn, that's absolutely impossible!

After quickly assessing the crossfire on the ground, and finding that the Liberals at the airport seemed to be only being beaten unilaterally, and there were no enemy planes flying around in the sky, Li Gejian, who thought that the conflict was nearing the end, was relieved, and he called the ECJA pilot on the ground through the temporary link reported by the ECJA and learned that she was trying to get to the airport, so he restrained the idea of using the M61A1 rotary tube gun to dive and strafe, and instead drove the plane around a semicircle with a small radius. Be prepared to approach from the other end of the relatively safe airport runway and attempt to force your landing.

As the fighter plane lowered its altitude further, the dusty air was sucked in by the engine, and the plane experienced an expected flight tremor, but Li Gejian, who was bent on a forced landing, ignored it.

Now that I have decided to do it, I can only go all out and put life and death out of the way! (To be continued......)
