Chapter 31: Going to Fight Abroad

When drawing lots, Liang Guoxiang did not go, but asked Di Boqing to try his luck. As a partner, it was the same for both of them to draw lots. Di Boqing's "luck" was indeed good, and he won the only one of the HNA test troops' combat quotas to Pakistan. When signing the employment contract, Liang Guoxiang could not let Di Bo work in the Qing Dynasty.

"What kind of contract is this?" Di Boqing turned over the employment contract with only two pages. "The employment time, remuneration, and accident compensation are all empty. Should we fill it ourselves or fill it in later? In addition, what does it mean to 'not be protected by the Geneva Convention'? Are we not soldiers?"

"If you sign an employment contract, you are a mercenary, and naturally you are not protected by international law. In addition, it has been mentioned at the conference that employment time, remuneration, and accident compensation are still under discussion. It will take a few days to determine it. We will not treat us badly anyway." Liang Guoxiang raised his head, "Besides, aren't you yelling to go to Pakistan to fight? You have been beaten by one tenth of the chance, so what else can you say? If you feel unstable, let's talk to Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie and give them the opportunity."

Liang Guoxiang knew that Di Boqing was not trying to fight, but wanted to save up tens of thousands of yuan in sponsorship fees for his son's school choice as soon as possible.

"Brother Liang, you can't say that." Di Boqing put down his pen and said with a serious expression, "We are not fighting for our country, but for Pakistan; not an obligation relationship, but an employment relationship. Since it is an employment, we must sign this contract of sale without clarity, right?"

"Selling the contract?" Liang Guoxiang laughed, "Are you worried about my technology or the performance of j-10?"

"Of course not. I don't believe anyone, I just believe you and our fighter planes. The problem is, when I go to the battlefield, who can guarantee that there will be no fault? I am not afraid of death, but if I die inexplicably, it would be too unprofitable." Di Boqing sighed, "Brother Liang, you are different from me. You are fed alone, and your whole family is not hungry. I am a family member. I will go to elementary school next year. Your girl has no job, and I am still the only son. What's the point of being a bad person? Call them mother and mother how can I live?"

"Well, I swear, even if I can't come back, I will let you come back alive." After reading the contract, Liang Guoxiang signed on it without thinking. "I wrote the name of my godson if the insurance beneficiary. If you have any mistakes, I can't live. By then, the two insurances will be enough for my godson to finish college."

"Brother Liang..." Di Boqing was excited, "You do this, uncle and aunt..."

"My parents have retirement wages and medical insurance. There is nothing in the family, and I don't have brothers and sisters," Liang Guoxiang said with a smile, "Besides, my godson is also my godson of my parents. We are even more close than brothers. Let Huanhuang be the beneficiaries, and your uncle and aunt will not object."

Di Boqing knew that Liang Guoxiang was very upright and didn't know how to say anything else, so he signed the contract.

Two hours later, the two boarded a two-seater J-10b fighter plane respectively.

In the past, Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing enclave were Su-30mkk. Although after the domestic production was realized, the Navy Air Force and the Air Force made improvements to Su-30mkk, that is, the J-13 avionics system, and used many electronic equipment developed for J-10. The complex instrument panel operation panel was replaced with a one-level and three-down electronic display screen similar to J-10. However, the two fighters still have a big difference. The Air Force local coach pilots need to take them to familiarize themselves with the basic performance of the new fighter plane.

For two pilots from the test team, this is not a difficult task at all.

Before that, in addition to flying three types of trainers at the aviation school, the two also flew over FBC-1 and Su-27ub. They also flew over J-10 with Air Force pilots in the test unit. They just failed to conduct difficult combat flight training on J-10. They only mastered the basic control methods of J-10.

They will conduct four flight training sessions within eight hours. They will then lead the first volunteer pilots to Pakistan.

During the last flight training, Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing sat in the same fighter plane.

Within an hour and a half, the two practiced air combat tactics and ground attack tactics.

In addition to one less engine, the load capacity has been reduced and the range has been shortened, the difference between j-10b and su-30mkk is not very big. When maneuvering in air combat, j-10b is even more flexible, especially when doing horizontal maneuvering, the instantaneous steering angular velocity is larger than su-30mkk. The biggest problem with j-10b is its too low thrust-to-weight ratio. Even if all the secondary fuel tanks are thrown away and only four fighting missiles are carried, the thrust-to-weight ratio exceeds one when the fuel inside the aircraft is less than two-thirds. If the full-action duck-type front wing is not used, I am afraid that the fighting ability of j-10b will be very bad.

At 8:00 a.m. on July 5, after a night of rest, Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing boarded the fighter plane again.

Eleven single-seat j-10a were also taken off with them. According to the plan, the fleet will fly directly to Hushabu Air Force Base and will participate in the battle as early as the afternoon.

Amid the huge roar, the Taihang turbofan engine quickly reached its maximum thrust. As Liang Guoxiang released the brakes, he hung up three auxiliary fuel tanks. Four medium-range air-to-air missiles and four fighting missiles J-10 fighter jets shot into the blue sky like arrows off the strings.

As the earth gets farther and farther away, the airport gets smaller and smaller, and Liang Guoxiang's heart is flying higher and higher.

An hour and a half later, the fleet left Chinese airspace from the Karakoram Pass and entered the air above Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.

"Falcon, this is the Eagle's Nest. It is transferred to Channel 311 and is guided by the Pakistani Control Center. I wish you a smooth journey."

"I understand, transfer to Channel 311 and accept guidance from the Pakistani Control Center." After saying that, Liang Guoxiang silently said in his heart: Goodbye to the motherland; goodbye to the relatives.

In order to avoid being intercepted by Indian fighter jets, after entering the air above Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, all twelve J-10s flew to Pakistani Air Force Base at an ultra-low altitude.

"Brother Liang, let the Air Force gangsters see our abilities." Di Boqing was very excited and excited.

"Sit down and let's perform well."

Under Liang Guoxiang's precise control, j-10b penetrated into the valley, and the eleven j-10a behind him followed without being outdone. The HNA pilot who had just flew to j-10 could do such a difficult move, and the Air Force pilot who had been flying on j-10 for thousands of hours would naturally not admit defeat.

Among the mountains and ridges, twelve fighter jets are like migrating geese, but they are flying too low.

Ultra-low-altitude flight is both thrilling and exciting, and it tests not only the performance of the fighter jet, the pilot's skills, but also the courage of the pilot.

"The warrior calls the spear, the warrior calls the spear."

After listening to it twice, Di Boqing reacted. "I received the spear, I received the spear, please tell me if you have anything to do."

"Warrior" is the code name of Pakistan's ground command center, and "Spike" is the code name of Liang Guoxiang's fighter squadron.

"Report your exact location."

"Our coordinates are...764 and 448, repeat them, 764 and 448." Di Boqing is not very familiar with the coordinate arrangement of the Pakistan Air Force. "Brother Liang, do you hear that, Pakistan's ground radar can't see us."

"Don't be proud, we're going to fly out of the mountains soon."

In less than two minutes, the fleet left the mountain area and entered the relatively flat plateau.

"The warriors call the spear, you fly too low and too dangerous."

Danger? Di Boqing smiled and shook his head. "I understand that after entering the safe airspace, we will increase the height."

"Go to the 321 direction and meet with the 'Welcome' formation in five minutes."

The "Welcome" formation is a Pakistani fighter squad responsible for the Chinese fleet of aircraft entering Pakistan.

"I understand, turn to the 321 direction and meet with the 'Welcome' formation."

When Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing saw four J-7 fighters flying from the northeast, they couldn't help but sigh. It seems that the Pakistan Air Force's advanced fighter jets have been consumed almost all, otherwise they would not have let such fighters imported from China thirty years ago be put on the field.

It seems that Pakistani pilots want to know their strength. Before meeting, all twelve j-10s climbed at the maximum rate, passed directly in front of the j-7 fleet, reached a height of 5,500 meters, and made several high overload rolling maneuvers before diving into the formation route.

"Welcome calls the spear, welcome calls the spear." The Pakistani pilot's Chinese is not too bad.

"I received the spear, please tell me if you have something to do." Although he was not a pilot, Di Boqing was also very excited because the words of the Pakistani pilot were trembling slightly, and he seemed to be frightened by the maneuvering movements of j-10.

"Now we are leading the way, please follow us."

"I understand, let's lead the navigation." After saying that, Di Boqing closed the formation communication channel, "Brother Liang, do you think those Pakistani pilots have just graduated from aviation school?"

"You just keep being proud." Liang Guoxiang adjusted the plane to an automatic flight state. "Pakistan pilots are all excellent, they are all real heroes. All they lack is advanced fighter jets and practical combat experience. It won't take long, and they will become eagles in the sky like us."

"I didn't say that Pakistani pilots were not brave, but their skills were really not very good."

Liang Guoxiang shook his head with a smile, and Di Boqing's words were not wrong.

Pakistani pilots were indeed very brave. They achieved impressive results in the previous India-Pakistan wars at an absolute disadvantage. In this war, Pakistani pilots also showed extraordinary courage and fearless spirit of sacrifice, which not only made the whole world admire them, but also won the respect of Indian pilots.

As Di Boqing said, what Pakistani pilots lack is a little technology.

When the j-7 aircraft group accelerated and opened the distance, the runway of Hushabu Air Force Base appeared in front.

Before landing, twelve J-10 low-altitude high-speed circulating operations were carried out, and several difficult formation maneuvers were performed, and then they landed on the runway in a two-machine formation.

As soon as she got off the plane, a female servant sent by the Pakistan Air Force brought flowers to Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing.

At noon, Major General Diam, commander of the Air Force Base, and Colonel Rogers, captain of the Fighter Brigade, held a welcome banquet for Liang Guoxiang and thirteen pilots. Although the conditions were very simple, the warm hospitality of the Pakistani military moved everyone. At the banquet, Liang Guoxiang met his comrades who were fighting together and more than a dozen Pakistani Air Force pilots.
