The reconnaissance plane has been shot down!

Chapter 48 The reconnaissance plane has been shot down!

Theodore clenched his teeth, his eyes fixed on the screen, muttering curses under his breath.

"Where the hell did that missile come from? Fuck!"

He gripped the control stick tightly, making the reconnaissance plane climb rapidly upwards.

However, the flashing red dot on the radar screen was rapidly approaching.

He glanced around and found that the missile was less than five kilometers away from their reconnaissance plane.

Theodore immediately pressed the chaff launcher next to him.

Whoosh whoosh!

The flares were ejected, creating a dazzling trail of sparks at the tail of the reconnaissance aircraft.

Just when he thought he could get rid of the missile, he saw the missile make a nimble turn in the air and lock onto their reconnaissance plane again.

"Shit!"

Gray took the opportunity to glance out the window and could clearly see the anti-aircraft missile with flames shooting from its tail. He shouted.

"Run! It's catching up!"

Theodore's heart pounded as he witnessed this; he knew there was no escaping it.

"Eject quickly!"

After saying that, Theodore reached out and grabbed the red handle next to him, and pulled hard.

With a bang, the hatch was flung off, and Theodore's body shot into the sky like a cannonball.

Immediately afterward, a violent explosion occurred behind him. The massive shockwave violently threw his body away.

Just as he was about to fall into a coma, he witnessed Gray and the SR-71 reconnaissance plane turn into a raging fireball.

On the flight path to the Jiangnan Arsenal, Tian Yuan was staring at the radar display interface, closely watching the mileage displayed on the map.

"We are three minutes away from the Jiangnan Arsenal. Requesting information on the current coordinates of the enemy reconnaissance aircraft!"

Tian Yuan spoke into the earpiece, but there was no response after he finished speaking.

Tian Yuan frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

He pressed the radio communication button again, raising his voice: "This is 02, 2nd Squadron, Eastern Air Force. Requesting the coordinates of the enemy reconnaissance aircraft!"

But after a few seconds, the headset remained silent, without any notification sound.

"That's strange, what's going on? Could it be that my radio is malfunctioning?"

Tian Yuan muttered to himself and quickly checked his wireless equipment, only to find that it was working properly.

He hurriedly shouted to the other fighter jets, "I can't contact the Jiangnan Arsenal. You guys try to find out the coordinates of the enemy reconnaissance plane!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

Soon, the team members' voices came through their headsets one after another.

"No reply yet!"

"No reply yet!"

'

'

When Tian Yuan heard that everyone said they had not received a response from the arsenal, he was stunned.

What's going on?

Could it be that we've lost contact with the arsenal?

Just then, a flashing bright spot suddenly appeared on the radar interface.

Upon seeing this, Tian Yuan immediately shouted, "Attention! Enemy aircraft! It's very likely an enemy reconnaissance plane!"

Subsequently, several fighter jets quickly flew towards the direction of the suddenly appearing aircraft signal.

As they passed through a layer of clouds ahead, the sight before them took them by surprise.

A large plume of thick smoke could be seen billowing in the clouds ahead, and below the smoke, a huge fireball was rapidly falling.

Holy crap!

Tian Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and then quickly steered his fighter jet to give chase.

After passing through layers of clouds and thick smoke, he finally saw the fireball clearly.

"It's an American Blackbird reconnaissance plane!" Tian Yuan had barely finished speaking when he heard the other team members' exclamations through his earpiece.

"My God, who shot it down?"

"Wait a minute, we haven't even arrived yet. Could it be that someone has already taken care of it?"

"Aren't our planes the only ones flying around here?"

Tian Yuan stared at the reconnaissance plane about to crash, quickly noted down the crash coordinates, and then decisively ordered into his headset: "Report the situation to headquarters immediately and prepare to return!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

After circling in the air, the fighter jets immediately turned back.

"Reporting to headquarters, this is 02 of the 2nd Squadron. We have discovered that an enemy reconnaissance aircraft has been shot down. The coordinates are ————"

At this moment, in the Eastern Military Region Air Force Command.

Chief of Staff Song Che was stunned when he heard Tian Yuan's report.

"What? It was shot down?"

He scratched his head, pondering for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

That was the US's ace reconnaissance aircraft, equipped with advanced stealth materials and a maximum speed of Mach 3.2, which many missiles could hardly catch up with. It was shot down just like that, and not even by their fighter jets. It's just too outrageous.

So he quickly picked up the phone and called the Jiangnan Arsenal.

However, there was a busy signal on the other end of the phone.

"Strange, why isn't anyone answering? What's going on over there?"

Song Che was puzzled.

The backyard of the laboratory building at the Jiangnan Arsenal.

The missile had been launched for a while, and everyone heard a loud explosion, but they were unsure whether the missile exploded on its own or successfully hit the target.

Professor Li quickly looked at the signal on the radar screen.

"The altitude is decreasing rapidly!"

"1 meters!"

"8 kilometer!"

'

'

"3 kilometer!"

"1 kilometer!"

"Signal lost!"

When Professor Li announced the news, the room fell silent.

Feng Zhenliang blinked and looked at Professor Li, asking, "What does this mean? Did the enemy's reconnaissance plane fly away, or—"

Professor Li was also somewhat puzzled. He scratched his head, after all, it was his first time using this kind of radar, and he dared not draw any conclusions easily.

Seeing that Professor Li couldn't explain it clearly either, Feng Zhenliang turned his gaze to Wu Zu.

"Auntie, what does this mean?"

Wu Zu stared at the screen for a while, then turned to face the crowd of onlookers behind him.

"This means the enemy reconnaissance plane has been shot down!"

Upon hearing this, a cheer erupted from the audience.

Wu Guodong was so excited that he immediately hugged Wu Zu in his arms.

"Good son, you're amazing! Dad is so proud of you!"

Liu Xuelan, standing nearby, was also moved to tears, saying, "I never imagined our great-grandfather was such an amazing scientist!"

The audience erupted in applause, praising Wu Zu highly.

Just then, the phone in the room rang again.

Lei Fu strode into the room and answered the phone.

Immediately, Song Che asked a series of questions on the other end of the phone: "What's going on? Why isn't Lao Feng answering the phone?"

Why haven't you responded to my request for your coordinates?

Is there a problem with the telephone line?

"By the way, why did that Blackbird reconnaissance plane suddenly crash?"

As Lei Fu listened to Song Che's rapid-fire questions, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
