Preface 2 The Flying Tiger with Wings

As the surface temperature drops, the strong winds in the valleys become more and more raging. Large helicopters weighing more than ten tons are like dragonflies in the wind, disturbed by the restless airflow and up and down, left and right.

"What a fucking hell!"

Captain Kong Zhigao cursed in a low voice, while using all his strength to tighten the joystick of the plane, and his right hand held the throttle lever tightly. As soon as he entered the Grand Canyon, Kong Zhigao turned off the flight assistance equipment and relied entirely on his and co-pilot's ability to control the helicopter. Behind them, two pilots also chose the same flight method on another Ka-27 helicopter of the same model.

For these four pilots, going to this place to perform a mission is like having a nightmare.

More than two months ago, Kong Zhigao said goodbye to his wife who was coming to see him off at Sanya Port, boarded a destroyer, and went with the fleet to carry out an escort mission thousands of miles away. This was the fifth escort fleet sent by the Republic's Navy to the Gulf of Aden within two years, and Kong Zhigao participated in the escort operation for the second time.

Although life at sea was very difficult and he had to leave his wife and son who had just been full month old, Kong Zhigao was not frustrated because after completing the three-month escort mission, he could return to his country with the fleet and be promoted two years in advance. For the captain pilot who was already thirty-two years old, if he could be promoted to major before the age of thirty-five, his future would be brighter.

Kong Zhigao never expected that just as the fleet was about to return, a group of special forces soldiers who suddenly appeared on the destroyer completely broke his plan to go home and reunite, forcing him to fly a helicopter, carry that group of special forces soldiers, and carry out a special mission that did not even have a code number.

The commander of the special forces and twelve fully armed special forces were in the cabin behind Kong Zhigao.

Under the disturbance of an upward airflow, the helicopter vibrated violently. Then, the height alarm temporarily installed at the top of the instrument panel issued a yellow warning signal. Accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound, Kong Zhigao and the co-pilot on the right pressed down the joystick at the same time and retracted some throttle. The helicopter rushed into the dark canyon like a drunk strong man. Until the yellow warning signal and buzzing sound disappeared, the two pilots pulled back the joystick and controlled the throttle. Kong Zhigao also took this opportunity to wipe off the sweat from his face.

Why do you fly so low?

Any pilot knows that helicopters fly in the canyon must be to avoid radar, shorten the noise transmission distance, and reach their destination in a hidden way.

However, ultra-low-altitude flight is not the skill of HNA pilots.

He joined the army for fourteen years, flew for ten years, and flew on the Ka-27 for four years. Kong Zhigao mainly flew over the sea or lake. Helicopters rarely flew over land and rarely over mountains. Even over the ocean, helicopters cannot fly ultra-low altitude at will. Because calm sea surfaces will cause visual illusions to the pilots, making it impossible for pilots to accurately judge altitude by visual means. If there is a problem with the radio altimeter, an accident is very likely. If the sea surface is not calm enough, it must be that the wind is strong and the waves are high. The flight conditions are extremely harsh. He will not be able to fly ultra-low altitude.

Flying at a very low altitude over land. That is the skill of the pilots in the land.

Thinking of his wife waiting at home and son who is still in her infancy, Kong Zhigao was a little resentful of these unknown origins, but they could make the colonel captain and the commander of the major general's escort fleet obey the orders. If an accident occurs in this place where birds do not shit, let alone reunite with his wife and children, there is not even a place to bury him.

The more I think about it, the more depressed Kong Zhigao becomes.

The shoulder was patted. Kong Zhigao immediately switched the helicopter to the state where the co-pilot was fully controlled. Then he looked back.

"Captain, switch to the red channel immediately." The soldier behind handed a computer in his palm to Kong Zhigao and said, "We must arrive within five minutes. First, we will be sent to the road north of the camp, and then use an on-board machine gun to shoot the vehicles in the camp, but we must not hit this mobile house."

After saying that, the soldier also specifically pointed out the mobile house on the computer screen.

After looking at the square clearly marked on the screen, Kong Zhigao nodded. "No problem, we will deal with it carefully and arrive in five minutes."

After saying that, Kong Zhigao switched the lighting in the cabin.

The red light is used not only to indicate that the helicopter is about to arrive at its destination, but also to remind the special forces in the cabin.

"Old Kong, what's that?" The co-pilot asked Kong Zhigao through the internal channel.

"I saw a single-soldier computer at the Zhuhai Air Show last year. It was just a project sample at that time. I didn't expect to equip the troops so soon." Kong Zhigao shook his head with a wry smile, "Wait until I control the helicopter, you can operate the machine gun. Be careful, don't hit that mobile house, I don't want to offend these mixed ball balls."

"No problem, are you still worried about my skills?" After saying that, the co-pilot laughed.

After adjusting the operation mode of the helicopter, Kong Zhigao quickly pulled back the joystick and released the accelerator. The behemoth weighing more than ten tons was like a light swallow. In the wind, it crossed the cliffs west of the canyon and rushed into the night sky.

At this time, Kong Zhigao tried his best to control the helicopter and no longer doubted the identity of the special forces.

During the joint exercise of the three armies last year, Kong Zhigao carried a group of special forces to a submarine participating in the exercise. The group of special forces was equipped with a single-soldier computer just after Kong Zhigao met. Kong Zhigao was very interested in electronic equipment. After the exercise, he found several students from the aviation school who worked in the exercise command center and found out that it was the latest developed single-soldier computer, and first equipped several special forces directly under the General Staff.

If the group of special forces in the cabin came from the General Staff Special Forces, they must have carried out secret missions under the orders of the General Staff. Not to mention the captain and the escort fleet commander, even the fleet commander and the military region commander must cooperate with them to provide convenience for them.

The actions directly deployed by the General Staff are definitely extraordinary.

In the night sky, two ka-27 helicopters, one in front and one behind, controlled the altitude below twenty meters, and increased the flight speed to more than 240 kilometers per hour.

After climbing over a small thatched hill, Kong Zhigao immediately saw the brightly lit construction site in front of him.

Kong Zhigao transferred the call line to the in-flight communication channel and heard the conversation between the special forces behind him.

"Major, we're late."

"Just drop directly in the camp to attract firepower, otherwise Lao Kang and the others will be doomed."

"No, you can't let the helicopter take risks." Kong Zhigaogang felt his shoulder being patted, and the words of the special forces commander came from the headphones. "Captain, hurry up. If the situation is not good, you can leave the battlefield. After the battle, I will contact you."

Kong Zhigao nodded, and before he knew it, a layer of sweat emerged from the palms of his hands.

"Old Kong, this is not a joke!?" Like Kong Zhigao, the co-pilot was also shocked.

"Don't ask so much, do our job well."

After fourteen years of being a soldier, he flew thousands of hours on three different helicopters. This is the first time Kong Zhigao participated in actual combat. Although he had to participate in several exercises every year, the exercise was always an exercise and was never a real battle. The first time he went to the battlefield, whether it was Kong Zhigao or the co-pilot, it would be strange if he was not nervous.

The helicopters flew closer and closer, and the battle ahead became more and more intense.

When the camp was about 700 meters away, several bullets landed on the helicopter. Obviously, the enemy discovered the approaching helicopter.

As sparks splashed, several bullets hit the helicopter's windshield.

Fortunately, the bulletproof glass has not yet passed its "shelf life", and the small-caliber bullet only left a few bullet marks on the glass and failed to penetrate.

The sound of crackling came constantly, Mars kept flashing, and Kong Zhigao's nerves reached its limit.

He was flying HNA's anti-submarine helicopter, not Land Airlines' armed helicopter. Although the small-caliber bullets do not pose a great threat to the ka-27, it only takes a heavy machine gun to shoot it down.

"Captain, lower the height and stabilize the fuselage!"

Hearing the words of the special forces commander, Kong Zhigao immediately turned on the green light in the cabin, pulled back the joystick, retracted the accelerator, stopped moving forward and lowered the altitude.

The hatch door was opened, two ropes were thrown out, and more than a dozen special forces soldiers in the cabin left the plane one after another.

The process took about thirty seconds, but for Kong Zhigao, these thirty seconds were longer than his thirty-two years of life. When taking ropes, the helicopter must keep the hovering height between five and ten meters, and cannot move, so it cannot avoid the fired bullets.

Meanwhile, another helicopter carrying thirteen special forces arrived south of the camp.

After the last special forces soldier left the plane, Kong Zhigao immediately pulled up the helicopter.

At this time, the co-pilot gave up the operation rights and adjusted the joystick to the fire control mode. When the height reached twenty-five meters and the nose was aimed at the camp, bright flames were sprayed out from the shooting holes of the aviation machine gun pods hanging on both sides of the helicopter cabin. Two types of bullets with a diameter of 12.7 mm and 7.62 mm were sprinkled on the vehicles in the camp at a speed of hundreds of rounds per minute.

The landing special forces had dispersed and advanced towards the camp under the cover of helicopter machine gun fire.

Kong Zhigao pushed the throttle to the maximum gear and had to increase the helicopter's flight altitude as soon as possible to leave the threat area of ​​light weapons.

However, the vertical climbing speed of the helicopter is too slow.

"Old Kong, pull it up quickly!"

The co-pilot first discovered the danger, but it was too late.

When the bright flashes appeared on the west side of the camp entered Kong Zhigao's pupils, he had only time to press the button to fire the jamming bomb and press down the joystick. The moment he lost consciousness, Kong Zhigao knew that his seat was hit, and he was hit by a rocket or a single air defense missile!
