Pursuit of Reconnaissance Planes

Chapter 37 Pursuit of Reconnaissance Planes

Tian Yuan was piloting the J-7 fighter jet when a boy's voice suddenly came through his headset, startling him.

Where did this child come from?

He glanced down at the microphone near his mouth, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, before pressing the earpiece and asking, "This is the Second Squadron of the Eastern Air Base. Who was speaking just now?"

Soon, Reif's voice came through the earpiece: "This is Reif. Launch the missile immediately at the coordinates I just gave you. This is the perfect opportunity, hurry!"

Upon hearing this voice, Tian Yuan was slightly startled.

At the same time, the fire control operator sitting behind him quickly locked onto the target area the moment Wu Zu reported the coordinates.

"Captain, the missile has been aligned with the coordinates. Should we launch?" the fire controller asked.

Tian Yuan's mind was a bit of a mess.

His radar screen showed nothing unusual; it felt like groping in the dark, completely baffling him.

However, based on the location coordinates provided by the Jiangnan Arsenal, they did indeed discover the enemy's reconnaissance aircraft.

After issuing a warning, there was no response from the other party. According to regulations, they have the right to launch an attack.

But is there really an enemy reconnaissance plane in this location?

How did they manage to accurately predict when the enemy aircraft was in flight?

However, there was no time for him to hesitate. The enemy's reconnaissance planes dared to fly over such an important area as the Dragon Kingdom's arsenal, which was tantamount to starting a war.

"Launch!" Tian Yuan gave the decisive order, his roar echoing through the cabin.

Without hesitation, the fire controller in the back seat immediately pressed the launch button.

Whoosh!

A missile shot out like an arrow from the right wing of the fighter jet.

The missile, trailing a long fiery tail, plunged headlong into the thick clouds.

At that moment, all the pilots were on tenterhooks, wondering if the missile would hit its target.

Meanwhile, on the U2 reconnaissance plane that was playing hide-and-seek in the clouds, constantly provoking the Chinese fighter jets, Jack and Robinson were laughing so hard they were doubled over.

"That's hilarious! They must hate us to death!"

"Of course! They're probably both angry and helpless right now. They know we're nearby, but they can't do anything about it!"

"Let's tease them one more time!"

"Okay, I'm almost done taking photos. Let's take one last lap and then head back. Keep an eye on the fuel; we don't want to run out."

"Don't worry, we took off from a military base in Japan, this distance is no problem."

The two chatted as they passed through the clouds ahead once more.

Just then, a series of urgent beeping warning sounds suddenly rang out from Jack's flight helmet.

This sound meant that enemy missiles were approaching, and Jack was instantly terrified, quickly looking at the radar screen.

The green radar screen kept flashing, and a white dot was rapidly approaching their reconnaissance plane.

Seeing this, Jack couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! They seem to have spotted us and have fired missiles at us!"

"What?" Robinson panicked. "Didn't you say they couldn't possibly find us?"

Jack had no time to respond at that moment. He glanced at the missile's direction and immediately released flares.

Whoosh whoosh!

A barrage of flares rained down on the rear, and bright flashes of light erupted at the tail of the aircraft.

Jack grabbed the control stick and pulled hard, and the reconnaissance plane climbed rapidly upwards.

Looking out through the transparent cockpit from the back seat, Robinson saw a white-painted missile trailing a long plume of flame hurtling toward them at an incredible speed from the clouds in the distance.

"Damn it! Run!"

Robinson screamed in terror, his back already soaked with cold sweat from fright.

Jack gritted his teeth and pulled hard on the control stick, pushing the throttle to its maximum, and the exhaust nozzles of the reconnaissance plane roared loudly.

boom!

The missile exploded instantly upon contact with the chaff, sending countless fragments flying in all directions.

Robinson suddenly heard a bang above his head. He looked up and saw a piece of shrapnel embedded in the transparent canopy of the aircraft.

Immediately afterwards, another loud bang came from the right, and a huge fireball instantly illuminated the cabin.

Robinson quickly covered himself with his arm.

Jack, who was piloting the reconnaissance plane, felt the fuselage suddenly tilt, and the right engine indicator light instantly turned red, with the power dropping to zero.

"Damn it!" Jack was drenched in cold sweat. "How did they find us? We were clearly outside their radar range!"

He simply couldn't understand how the Chinese fighter jets could detect them without any visual or radar signal.

"Could it be that our intelligence is outdated, and they have acquired more advanced radar technology?"

But there's no time to think about that now. There are still four Chinese fighter jets behind them, and they must escape as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they are caught up, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the U2 reconnaissance aircraft is a twin-engine fighter, so even if one engine fails, it can still return to base, although its power will be affected.

Just as they were trying to turn back, four small white dots on the radar screen rapidly approached.

Robinson, staring at the hatch about to crack open above him, roared at the top of his lungs, "Fly! Don't let them catch up!"

Jiangnan Arsenal, on the roof of the laboratory building.

Wu Zu, Lei Fu, and Professor Li stared intently at the telephone receiver, their faces filled with anticipation.

At that moment, Tian Yuan's voice came through the microphone: "The missile exploded near the enemy reconnaissance aircraft, damaging the enemy aircraft's right wing engine. Our fighter jets are in pursuit!"

"Enemy target detected, interception in progress!"

"The enemy aircraft has been identified as a U-2 reconnaissance plane from the United States!"

-

Upon hearing Tian Yuan's report, Lei Fu and Professor Li cheered excitedly.

"Great! Although it wasn't a direct hit, it still damaged the enemy plane. That's amazing!"

"This is the first time our Dragon Kingdom has shot down an enemy reconnaissance plane with a fighter jet! Ah Zu, we owe you a lot this time!"

Wu Zu breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect this radar to succeed in its first combat mission. It's a test success."

Professor Li nodded repeatedly, looking at the radar, which was made with slightly rough workmanship, and liked it more and more.

"My God, you're a genius among geniuses!"

Lei Fu looked at Wu Zu with eyes full of admiration.

"Ah Zu, you've done a great job this time!"

Wu Zu smiled slightly, and just then, a semi-transparent light screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Ding! The radar successfully located the US reconnaissance aircraft and reported its coordinates, causing damage to the aircraft. 500 points have been awarded!]

Upon seeing this prompt, Wu Zu's eyes lit up.

Is this considered naughty behavior?

As he was thinking this, Lei Fu couldn't help but say, "This time time was tight, and it's fortunate that the missiles hit the enemy aircraft. If they hadn't, this kind of aimless missile launch might have really caused trouble."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zu suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder I was able to get system points, so that's why.
