While Chen Nian was making final improvements to the F119 engine data, over a certain sea area in the south, an EP-3E reconnaissance aircraft was flying across the sky quietly, flying towards the land in the distance.

.

The 24 people on the crew were fully operational, and all electronic detection equipment had been turned on. Even the usually careless pilots and co-pilots had put away their cynical expressions.

The reason is simple. This is not a simple reconnaissance mission like before, but an extremely dangerous trial.

The plane climbed to an altitude of 8,000 meters and began to fly around within 40 nautical miles of the coastline. Taking advantage of this short gap, the main pilot Lyons took a deep breath and turned to the co-pilot Wei.

Si said:

"I really don't know how they think that if they enter a sensitive area at this time, we will be shot down directly, right?"

Weiss on the side shook his head and replied:

"That's not the case. They will never open fire on us, because that would mean going to war directly."

"But just because they don't dare to fire doesn't mean they won't take any action."

"Our intelligence shows that the other side has begun to practice roller maneuvers in a targeted manner, and it is said that a certain flying group is still studying the case of the scalpel in the Barents Sea."

"They are not weak opponents, especially front-line pilots."

"Compared with ours, their equipment lags behind, so they often want to use their own lives to make up for the gap."

Confusing replies came from the radio, and at this moment, Lyons received the "mission start" signal.

"Hahahahaha, Lyons, they really don't dare to do anything to us!"

The plane was still flying smoothly. Lyons notified all crew members for the third time to check various equipment, and then said:

"Everyone check the self-destruct device. If an accident occurs, I require you to destroy all confidential data before the plane lands. Do you understand?"

"arms?"

Weiss looked at him in surprise and asked in disbelief:

"Lyons, are you sure you don't want to return?"

As the speed of the EP-3E further decreased, the two J-8s were obviously unable to cope with their capabilities.

"I should have guessed it a long time ago. Well, I admit that I was frightened by what happened to Bruni before."

"These Chinese people, there is no way they can fight against us!"

Lyons' tone was mocking.

Moreover, they did not take more deterrent actions as soon as they met, as they expected.

Does that mean that I can continue to challenge?

In other words, if a conflict occurs, the other party's shore-based anti-aircraft firepower can directly hit you!

As soon as these words were spoken, Weiss immediately understood the situation.

"As long as there is a slight mistake, it may lead to losses for both parties."

"Intercepted surface communication activities, location information is as follows."

"No return! Weiss, look, they don't dare to do anything to us!"

"The communication activity signal is enhanced, and the signal environment recording analysis is started."

It's just that in such a tense moment, no one can maintain complete calmness and restraint. Instead, they always hope to find some comfort from others.

Weiss nodded in agreement, and then asked with some concern:

Weiss on the side looked at Lyons and asked:

"what to do?"

Such shuttle does not pose any threat to EP-3E.

"No air target detected by radar."

"But we don't have any weapons."

Lyons turned his head and looked through the porthole at the fighter jets on the left that were constantly flying around, with a serious look on his face.

Lyons felt nervous and immediately ordered:

"Reduce altitude, reduce speed!"

The descent process stopped until we reached about 6,000 meters.

Although this distance still does not enter the opponent's territorial waters, it has entered the coverage range of the shore-based radar.

After just ten minutes, the two J-8s were completely unable to fly with them and could only keep shuttling around the EP-3E.

"This is the real intention of the base. They just want us to continue to lower the bottom line of the Chinese people!"

"However, as long as we lower their bottom line one step at a time, maybe one day we can actually fly over the heads of tourists on their coast."

"This is not an invasion of airspace. How can a country that has not even established an air defense identification zone pose a threat to us in public waters?"

"But now I understand."

"Ignore them, slow down and keep going!"

Because apart from wandering records, our side will not make any offensive attempts.

Today's mission is not to stay at a range of about 70 nautical miles from the target location for reconnaissance as usual, but to continue to move forward to a range of 40 nautical miles.

"This is the training area of ​​the Chinese Navy. You have entered our training area. Please leave immediately. Please leave immediately."

"clear."

As the broadcasts were passed one by one, Lyons became more and more nervous.

"Two aircraft were spotted ahead, the Chinese are coming!"

"Attention, the communication activities of the Chinese fleet have been intercepted, and the location is determined, Lingshui Airport."

"No matter how hard we try, their response is limited to this."

"Keep flying forward. We will definitely not see their warships today."

Weiss laughed triumphantly, and Lyons also had a smile on his face.

At this time, the EP-3E was only 100 nautical miles away from their target.

He secretly prayed in his heart that the two fighter jets on the opposite side must not take radical actions. Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter if the mission could not be completed. If they could not return home, it would be the end.

Just a few minutes later, two khaki-colored fighter jets passed above the EP-3E, and then the call from the other side came from the public communication channel.

"The situation last time must not happen again. If they get the data again, the electronic system of this aircraft should just be given to them!"

And a strong teammate is undoubtedly his greatest support when facing danger.

Lyons felt cold sweat break out on his head.

He no longer hesitated and directly closed the public communication channel, cooperating with Lyons to continue controlling the plane to lower its altitude.

But today is different.

"receive."

As the captain, his crisis response experience is naturally no worse than Weiss's. In fact, he knows what the other party said.

"It's not just us who are afraid of them, they are also afraid of us!"

"So, they can only keep retreating. Now they have no bottom line!"

These are just some routine actions. If it is normal, even if the opponent discovers your actions, there is a high probability that they will not take the initiative to drive away.

He gave Weiss a look, then turned the nose of the plane. After turning at a large angle, the plane began to lose altitude.

At this moment, a new broadcast suddenly came from the headphones.

"We are afraid of losses, and they are also afraid of causing further conflicts, because now they have no strength to fight us!"

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and answered:

"So be careful, watch your radar, and if two or more fighter jets appear, immediately slow down and descend to get out of the danger zone."

Upon hearing Weiss's words, Lyons nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, they can't catch us this time."

"We don't have weapons, do they?"

"Look at those two antique fighter jets. They are just toys."

"Their J-10 is also a toy. With a toy like that, what can they do to us?"

"What's more, the base behind us and the country behind the base are our real weapons."
Chapter completed!
