When Duke received the news and was about to set off, on Cheng Chongjin's side, the three fighter jets of the Third Squadron were ready and slid into the runway ready to take off.

"Command Center, Command Center" Cheng Chongjin sat into the familiar cabin, calmed down his excitement, and called calmly. "Hunter 1 is ready, requesting takeoff! Repeat, Hunter 1 is ready, requesting takeoff!"

There are still many teammates in the air training in the surrounding airspace. He must wait for the clearance order from the base to be completed before taking off. The fighter jets have a cruise speed of at least 700 to 800 kilometers per hour. If the air control and command are not effective, it is not uncommon to cause the collision of the two aircraft. Although Cheng Chongjin is anxious now, he must wait for the base command center to turn them over before taking off before he dares to take off.

Fortunately, after receiving Cheng Chongjin's report, the head of the base in front ordered the air-training fighter jets to avoid them. Cheng Chongjin's mission was sent from the Military Commission based on combat tasks. Although the unknown military chief and the military air force commander of the military region were instructed to dispatch second-line fighter jets to carry out, this was still a high-level mission.

The tasks assigned by the Office of the three giants of the Military Commission should pay attention to the military region's chief leaders. For their regiment-level base, that is, the task with the highest priority in the current combat training tasks of the base.

So as soon as the base leader issued an order, the squadron in the air who was training various tactics quickly gave up the airspace to make way for Cheng Chongjin and others.

"Hunter One, Hunter One! The surrounding airspace has been cleared and taken off is allowed." The base command center responded quickly.

Hearing the order to take off, Cheng Chongjin gently pushed the pull rod and started to run. The fighter plane became faster and faster, and soon reached the takeoff speed. Cheng Chongjin gently pulled it, and the fighter plane flew lightly to the blue sky.

Immediately afterwards, Li Dashan and Tong Fangyong also flew into the blue sky in a fighter plane.

"Dashan, Fang Yong, are your monitoring equipment turned on? Check again to see if it is running normally now?" The fighter plane continued to accelerate in the air. Although it is still more than 200 kilometers away from the target airspace, everyone is already very familiar with how the monitoring system is operated. Cheng Chongjin still couldn't help but remind his subordinates to check again.

"Captain, Hunter 2's monitoring equipment is operating normally, the signal receiving device has been turned on, the network connection has been completed smoothly, and the target location data from the ground station has been received. Good guy, I can't tell that this dark thing is really useful. This time, my brothers finally have the chance to catch a big fish. Haha, if our squadron completes this task, it will definitely be the only one in China." Li Dashan replied excitedly, as if he had forgotten that he had said the most strange things just now.

Yes, for a soldier, it is hard to say a thousand things, and it is useful. There has been no movement some time ago, and anyone may be suspicious. But today I caught the tail of the Global Hawk, and everything is easy to say. The dark box-like thing immediately became a little deeper in Li Dashan's eyes.

"Captain, Hunter No. 3 monitoring equipment is normal. It has been connected to the network to receive the target position information. The signal receiving device indicator shows that it is operating normally." Tong Fangyong's tone sounded more normal and he answered neatly.

"Okay, everyone check the position information, maintain formation, and fly at full speed!" Cheng Chongjin listened to the report of the two subordinates, and then half of his heart was taken back. Then he reported the target position information he received. Soon, Li Dashan and Tong Fangyong reported that there was no difference from the data they received. The three of them once again verified that the system is operating very well now.

After completing the monitoring equipment, Cheng Chongjin was as the arrow header and suddenly emerged from Li Dashan and Tong Fangyong about 3,000 meters higher than Li Dashan and Tong Fangyong. On the left is Li Dashan and Tong Fangyong on the right. The horizontal distance of the three aircraft gradually widened to a 15-kilometer gap, forming a font-shaped marshalling flight formation.

Although the J-7 series fighter jets are old aircraft that are one era behind, and after many transformations and upgrades, they still cannot escape the original second-generation aircraft, but in terms of extreme flight speed, the speed of the third-generation aircraft is almost the same.

Cheng Chongjin and the others are now anxious. Once they arrive in the sky, they are ready to fly at maximum speed. Soon their flight speed will rise to an extreme speed of nearly Mach 2. This is already the design limit speed of this type of fighter jet. Usually during training, Cheng Chongjin will only increase this speed in special circumstances and perform tactical maneuvers, such as getting rid of the locking operation of the opponent's fighter jet.

Because when it is close to Mach 2, the J-7 aircraft will not be able to support it for long, and this kind of master aircraft does not have the ability to cruise at Mach 2 for a long time. Many things are not very stable in this extreme speed state, so it is very risky to maintain this extreme speed flight for a long time.

But for Cheng Chongjin and the others, they don’t care about these things now. Time is better than everything. They must reach the target area as soon as possible. If they go late and let Global Hawks slide out of the monitoring range of the place name monitoring station, then it’s Cheng Chongjin and the others’ turn to cry.

No one wants to taste the taste of missing out on opportunities, and the consequences of this task failure are difficult for Cheng Chongjin and others to bear. Yes, if this task is done well, everyone from the base leader to Cheng Chongjin and others will have their contributions. It is not impossible to get a second-class merit. But on the contrary, if the task fails, then someone will be responsible to the Military Commission from top to bottom.

This is the case in the military, only looking at the results, not paying attention to the process, and not catching the fighter when the fighter appears, it is definitely an unforgivable event for the soldiers.

Fortunately, it was only more than 200 kilometers away, and at the J-7's extreme flight speed, it took only ten minutes to arrive. In this short time, Cheng Chongjin and others believed that the plane could still hold on.

As long as the surveillance system on the plane bites the tail of the Global Hawk, Cheng Chongjin and they can slow down and follow. This is not a battle, but the most important thing is to bite the Global Hawk first.

The fighter plane continued to travel through the clouds like lightning, and Cheng Chongjin felt a violent shaking. This was the resonance caused by the airflow during ultra-high speed flight. If it took a long time, it would also cause great damage to the fighter structure. After all, this was not designed at Mach 2 cruise speed, so many components had to withstand the harsh test when flying at the extreme speed.

These fighter jets have been in service for a long time, and it is very dangerous to perform such violent flight operations. It can be said that Cheng Chongjin and his team fought for this mission this time.
