The battlefield changes in an instant, launch directly.

Chapter 46 The battlefield changes in an instant, launch directly.

The Jiangnan Arsenal is located 20,000 meters above the thick clouds.

A Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft with a highly futuristic appearance patrolled back and forth, maintaining a cruising speed of Mach 1.5.

Gray, sitting in the back seat as the co-pilot, was intently holding a high-altitude camera, meticulously filming and observing the Jiangnan Arsenal below.

He stared at the camera and asked Theodore in the pilot's seat, "We've been circling here for almost ten minutes, and their fighters haven't made a sound. Have they not even noticed us?"

Theodore's lips curled up slightly, revealing a nonchalant smile.

"Last time, Jack was an idiot. He was flying a reconnaissance plane, but he insisted on provoking them."

"This time it's different. Even if the Dragon Kingdom discovers us, they won't be able to cause any trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Gray couldn't help but burst into laughter and echoed his sentiment.

"Haha, that's absolutely right! With just those few J-7 fighters, they have no chance of catching up with us!"

At this point, Theodore suddenly turned to look at Gray, a sly glint in his eyes.

"How about we descend a little further? Let's see how low they have to go before they notice us."

Gray looked up and met Theodore's gaze, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

"That suits me perfectly! Our mission this time is to test the Dragon Kingdom's radar; exposing ourselves to some extent is necessary!"

However, as soon as he said it, Gray seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression changed slightly.

"Although the stealth coating on our aircraft hasn't been repaired yet, it still provides some degree of stealth. Could it be that they can't detect us at all?"

Theodore frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's try it first! As soon as their fighter jets take off, it means they've been discovered."

"As the ones who set the questions for this 'test,' we should at least give them some hints, shouldn't we?"

"Haha, that makes sense. Let's try lowering it to 15 kilometers per hour first!"

Gray smiled and nodded.

Theodore then skillfully adjusted the flight altitude, and the reconnaissance plane traced a semi-circular trajectory in the air, slowly descending to an altitude of 15 kilometers.

at the same time.

Inside the Eastern Military District Air Force Command Post.

Upon receiving the order from Feng Zhenliang, Chief of Staff Song Che immediately pressed the red button on the table without hesitation.

In an instant, the entire air force base was filled with the sound of ringing bells. Then, Song Cheqing's voice came through the loudspeakers: "By order of the commander, the Second Squadron is to immediately take off with J-7 fighter jets and proceed to patrol the airspace above the Jiangnan Arsenal!"

"Attention! The enemy reconnaissance aircraft attacking this time is very likely a Blackbird!"

The moment the bell rang, Tian Yuan led his team members, quickly grabbed their equipment, and rushed towards the hangar.

"What's wrong with the US? Is this never going to end?!"

"They just sent a U-2 reconnaissance plane to patrol here a few days ago, and now they've sent a Blackbird. Do they really think we're easy to bully?"

"Hmph, that guy got away last time, this time we're definitely going to shoot down their big black bird!"

The team members spoke one after another, all filled with righteous indignation.

Although Tian Yuan's face remained expressionless, flames of anger ignited in his eyes.

These Americans are really going too far, coming to provoke us time and time again. Do they really think China is a pushover that they can easily bully?

Today, no matter what, we must teach them a lesson they won't forget.

However, the thought that the enemy reconnaissance aircraft was an SR-71 Blackbird instantly weighed heavily on Tian Yuan's mind.

It's important to know that this is the US's most outstanding stealth high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, equipped with various advanced electronic reconnaissance equipment, and its maximum flight speed can reach Mach 3.

The J-7 fighter jets they were piloting had a maximum speed of only Mach 2, a significant difference compared to the SR-71.

But as a pilot of the Dragon Kingdom, we must not back down in the face of the enemy's arrogant provocations. We must rise to the challenge and fight them hard!

Even if we are outmatched in equipment, we must make up for the gap with fearless courage, even if it means fighting to the death!

At this moment, the four J-7 fighter jets in the hangar had completed a full inspection.

Several pilots quickly boarded the fighter jet, carefully carried out various checks as instructed by the safety officer, and then started the engine.

The massive horizontal jet engines at the tail of the J-7 fighter jet spewed out raging flames, and then one after another, the fighter jets soared into the sky like eagles, speeding towards the Jiangnan Arsenal once again.

Tian Yuan gripped the control stick tightly, his eyes fixed on the front, his gaze resolute and determined.

At that moment, Feng Zhenliang's voice came through the radio.

"This is Feng Zhenliang. You will immediately fly over the Jiangnan Arsenal. Enemy reconnaissance aircraft are currently at an altitude of 15 kilometers. Be on high alert!"

"receive!"

Tian Yuan replied expressionlessly, and then relayed the message to the other team members.

On the other side, in the laboratory at the corner of the experimental building of the Jiangnan Arsenal.

Wu Guodong was carefully pushing the missile launcher onto the open ground to the side.

After completing this step, he quickly turned back to the laboratory and pushed the HQ7 surface-to-air short-range air defense missile, which was placed on a trolley, onto the open ground.

Wu Zu was intently adjusting the various parameters of the launcher and the connecting cables.

After finishing all this, Wu Guodong was already drenched in sweat.

Seeing Wu Zu still diligently working, he couldn't help but ask, "I just received news that our fighter jets have already taken off. Perhaps—should we wait and see?"

"Dad, you must have heard the saying, 'The situation on the battlefield changes in an instant,' right?"

"Uh—of course I've heard of it. Although I haven't personally experienced the battlefield, I understand the weight of those words."

""

"That's right! We finally have such a great opportunity, we have to seize it!"

Seeing Wu Zu's earnest and persistent appearance, Wu Guodong was somewhat bewildered.

For some reason, at that moment, he seemed to see the shadow of his father in Wu Zu.

Wu Shuanzhu came from a military background. Although he had a fiery temper, he was meticulous in his work and extremely daring.

Unfortunately, I did not inherit my father's personality and his more cautious approach to things, so after becoming a researcher, I could only work in the rear.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zu not only possessed the brilliant mind to conduct scientific research, but also the decisive and daring decision-making ability of his father.

As if infected by Wu Zu's determination, Wu Guodong nodded vigorously.

"Okay! Dad supports you this time!"

With that, he placed the missile on the launch pad and then worked with Wu Zu to handle the remaining preparations.

Just then, Liu Xuelan rushed over, carrying several cables in her hands.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the missile already on the launch pad.
