Chapter 851: Lost Contact and Search
While walking, Li Gejian, who came to the communications department, explained his intentions and quickly got the approval of the base commander.
In an organization like ALSA, where mercenaries are overwhelmingly commonplace, young people sit down at the computers connected to the confidential lines, fumble out the encrypted U-shields they carry with them, and prepare to talk to the country.
While waiting for the line to be connected, the idea of worrying about his comrades gradually took over his mind, and Li Gejian knew very well that Syria, where the civil war was raging, could be described as sinister, and he sincerely hoped that the pilot named "Red Dragon" would be able to escape the search and pursuit of the Liberal rebels.
In such a war, the so-called technology, the so-called will, in fact, is the luck that determines the fate the most......
hurriedly went to the communication department to contact the "boss", and Li Gejian's departure did not interfere with his partner's train of thought.
Today's air encounter left an indelible impression on the young ALSA pilot, and after sitting on the chair and thinking about it for a long time, Gao Meiyu still couldn't recall why she subconsciously pulled the lever away at the moment when the two ES2000 "strong winds" were raging and showed their sharp fangs at the "Red Dragon".
This kind of action, which would probably only be attributed to the subconscious in the ordinary pilot, is now quite entangled for the young man who is unwilling to admit defeat, but no matter how he conceives, it is impossible to guess what is really happening in the sky at that time.
After thinking about it for a long time and not coming to a conclusion, Gao Meiyu got up listlessly and walked out of the pilot's lounge, he came to the door of the restaurant, checked his documents, and then went in to find a place to sit down, planning to wait for his partner to come and eat together to eat casually. In the last week or two. The combat intensity of the ALSA has always been maintained at a high level. The pilots, who were under a lot of physical and mental stress, didn't seem to have much appetite. Sitting at the table and looking at these colleagues from different countries and different skin tones and appearances, Gao Meiyu herself didn't feel how hungry she was, probably because of the fierce battle just now, which made her lose her appetite.
Oh, if so, when will this war end?
The mentality of his partner is not completely consistent, when he came to the Middle East to join the ALSA and the Arab League Defense Air Force, Gao Meiyu is still carrying out the mission with some ideas to make money, and now this goal has been basically achieved.
Although I think of the trading company where my girlfriend works. Maybe the wealth of this hairy boy can't be compared with Boss Zhou, who is the president, but seriously, at a young age, he has twenty or thirty million yuan to sleep on the account, this kind of situation is not something that any young man can have casually - of course, these riches are all obtained in the bloody battles in the Middle East sky, but after such a thrilling struggle all the way, Gao Meiyu now looked down at his hands, and he suddenly realized that the real motive of joining the "company" and coming to ALSA at that time, It's not all about money, I'm afraid.
Or rather. Just like his hot-blooded partner, flowing in his veins. Is it also an unruly desire to fight......
Sitting in a corner of the huge dining room, looking down at Gao Meiyu with her hands is not too noticeable, and the colleagues around her don't have too many scruples about talking, after all, everyone who can sit here is a member of ALSA, as long as it's not confidential, you can communicate very freely.
In a daze, he heard the words of several pilots on the table next to him, the words "Raptor" and "stealth fighter" made Gao Meiyu's heart move, he remembered that he was in the 209 Squadron of the Fifth Air Wing, and he had been organizing high-intensity simulator training recently, and the models were the F-22 "Raptor" and MiG-44 of the two camps of the East and the West.
Thinking about the current crisis in the Middle East faced by the Arab League, the image of the "radar stealth fighter" appeared in front of him, Gao Meiyu saw Li Gejian walk into the restaurant, he raised his hand and beckoned his partner to sit here, and at the same time thought in his heart, if their squadron was really equipped with a fourth-generation fighter, would the outcome of today's battle be different.
……
Sitting in front of the computer, the young people of ALSA are still worried about the safety of the "Red Dragon".
At this moment, in addition to the old friends from China, Long Yun was naturally worried about NATA's comrades-in-arms.
After a morning sortie with his wingman, he did not return a few hours later, and the air surveillance radar deployed in northwestern Iraq did not observe any suspicious traces, which deeply worried the head of the 3rd_IHFS, Sami Ahmed; Combined with the analysis of information from ground-based radars and GCI stations, the final observations showed that the twin aircraft had entered the middle of the "Syrian no-fly zone", and the ground observation posts later reported that a heavy battle had broken out here earlier in the day, which pointed to the worrying fact that the "Red Dragon" and his wingman "Kvass" may have met with an accident.
In the Middle East, where civil wars are becoming more and more severe, casualties and losses of combatants are inevitable, and even the fall of pilots generally does not attract much attention.
However, unlike the composition of the general New Party forces, the 3rd_IHFS under the jurisdiction of NATA are basically volunteer pilots as the main force, and they are also one of the two backbone air forces on which the New Party government relies to maintain it. After receiving the news that "the two pilots did not return from the attack and may have been attacked and fell", NATA quickly assigned special personnel to understand the situation and formulate emergency countermeasures, and at the same time contacted the command center of the New Party armed forces in Mosul to coordinate the ground forces to send personnel into the no-fly zone to conduct a fixed-point search, in the hope of finding the traces of the two missing pilots.
However, although this measure was launched immediately after the pilot lost contact, the strength of the war-torn Iraqi New Party was limited after all, and it was inevitable that it would be unable to coordinate the search for NATA pilots when the war was still raging.
Like Lieutenant Colonel Sami Ahmed, the head of the 3rd_IHFS who was concerned about the matter, Qi Hui, who returned from the Red 15th sortie, was also shocked when he heard the news in the squadron barracks.
Hearing that his new partner, Long Yun, codenamed "Red Dragon", had lost contact with his wingman, although the expression on his face had not changed, he was secretly worried in his heart; After walking around the office for a few moments, seeing that the squadron could not come up with a strong response plan for a while, the sullen guy went to the dining room for a little lunch, and then slowly walked back to the tent area with a toothpick.
In a tent adjacent to his tent, he found the Soviet Russian pilot "Sultan" who also returned from the attack, although Qi Hui could not speak Russian, but he also talked about the British language, and explained the current situation to this unsmiling Kharkov strong man; Hearing that the newcomer "Red Dragon" had lost contact with his partner, the calm "Sultan" was even more chuckled in his heart, on the one hand, the aircraft investigation mission he was responsible for needed the participation of "Red Dragon", and on the other hand, his compatriot "Kvass" was also missing in the no-fly zone, and now he was even more anxious than Qi Hui.
"So, 'Qinglong', tell me how we should act now."
"Well, I have an idea about this matter," Seeing that the expression of the "Sultan" in front of him was still the same, but his eyes were full of anxiety, Qi Hui naturally didn't know about the secret mission of Long Yun and the Soviet Russian pilot, he only thought that this strong man was also worried about his compatriots and comrades-in-arms, "'The truth is not afraid of being ugly', at this time, they haven't seen it back, most of them have crashed." So let's not talk about any rescue now, we have to take advantage of the fact that it is not dark to quickly dispatch, go around the no-fly zone, search for radio beacons, at least to see what happened, it should still be possible. ”
"Harasau, -- makes sense."
Nodding to the young man in front of him, the "Sultan" got up from the marching bed and offered a little thought of his own in not very fluent English:
"However, both 'Red Dragon' and 'Kvas' are very good pilots.
And now they have lost contact together, or rather, are they all shot down? I think that there are very powerful enemies in the no-fly zone, and it is both valuable and dangerous for the two of us to go out. ”
"Oh, I see what you mean."
Hearing some of the concerns of the "Sultan", Qi Hui touched his chin and thought about it, and he felt that what this experienced battlefield veteran said was right.
Searching for lost pilots in the Middle East battlefield filled with gunsmoke is by no means as simple as a lift-off cruise -- to be able to defeat the opponents of Long Yun and "Kvas" at once, whether it is the FSA, IAF, or ECJA, in short, the strength must not be underestimated, and if these guys are still ambushed in the no-fly zone, then it is a completely rash risk for the two of them to fly there.
Thinking of this, the young man suddenly had an idea, and after a brief exchange with the "Sultan", the two of them walked out of the tent and went straight to the squadron office.
Walking on the way to the barracks building, Qi Hui's footsteps were a little hurried, he felt that his search plan should be feasible, and now it was natural to set off a moment earlier to have more hope.
Compared to the two-plane expedition, he now believes that "the more fighters sorted, the better", not only to deal with the possibility of conflict, but also to wonder in the minds of young people whether the two 3rd_IHFS elite pilots can be kept on the battlefield at the usual level of the Syrian Liberal Party and the FSA.
