The detection results of the early warning aircraft are fed back in real time, and are shared in real time with the combat command center. When the duty commander saw that the detection results of the early warning aircraft are almost consistent with the detection results of the destroyer, he couldn't believe his eyes.

More specific than destroyers is the sea search situation of early warning aircraft. The sea targets within a radius of 200 kilometers centered on the fleet are nowhere to hide. However, except for the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft, there are only a few merchant ships that pass through the sea area.

The combat commander couldn't help but touch his chin and thought.

Have you really returned?

But how do you explain the actions of the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft?

As if he saw his doubts, the combat staff said, "The maritime patrol planes will definitely come. They want to stop us from entering the twelve nautical miles of the islands and reefs. This is their mission."

"Didn't the No. 166 Heavy Fighter, which supports maritime patrol aircraft, undertake the same task?" The combat commander couldn't understand and frowned.

The combat staff said, "Li Chad reported that judging from tactical numbers and paintings, the two aircraft should belong to the Air Force and the Navy, and the heavy fighter with tactical numbers 1,606 should belong to the Air Force Aviation Force."

"The Chinese Air Force does not have a four-digit tactical number." The commander on duty shook his head and said, "Even if it belongs to different services, there will be no support fighter jets returning first. They will not do this."

The combat staff looked down at the intelligence data collected in their hands and said, "But our sea and air searches did not find any trace of the second target. The airspace they confronted with Li Chad was only thirty kilometers away from my special mixed formation. At this distance, our air defense alert system search results are the best."

The special hybrid fleet is composed of large surface-mounted aircraft ships as the center, and is composed of several cruisers and destroyers with strong air defense combat capabilities. Generally speaking, the radius of the air defense circle can reach 500 kilometers, but the core area of ​​the air defense circle is from 20 kilometers to 50 kilometers. Both carrier-based air firepower and carrier-based air defense fighter jets can play the greatest role.

It was precisely at this distance that the Special Mix fleet lost the trace of the second target, which made the commander on duty feel assured no matter what. He really didn't believe that the heavy combat opportunity that was responsible for the support mission left the Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft that had no resistance back first.

But where is he?

"Where is Li Chad? Let him come over to see me immediately. Also, has Shirley's analysis result come out? Rush it!" The commander on duty issued several commands in succession.

A technical staff member ran over and handed the information to the commander on duty. He reported, "Col. This is Shirley's analysis result. He only found the records from two years ago. One of the pilots of the heavy fighter jet of tactical number 1616 is the famous South China Sea Mad Dog. The PR-41 crew made the South China Sea Mad Dog suffer from mental illness."

"South China Sea Mad Dog?" The commander on duty was not familiar with this code name. They were not in the same system as the troops where PR-41 was located.

The technical staff knew that because they were all using the Shirley identification system and the information in the database was shared, so he explained, "Since the PR-41 crew returned from that mission, they found that all had psychological trauma to varying degrees after inspection by the aviation doctor. In particular, the captain, he had determined that he could not continue flying."

"Is it exaggerated?" the commander on duty frowned and said, "The captains of PR are all veterans, how can they cause psychological trauma?"

The technical staff member's expression was a bit weird, and he said, "It is said that they were greatly frightened. I don't know much about the specific situation."

The commander on duty attracted attention. He knew this was not a joke, so since such a fact existed, it means that the opponent was extraordinary. In fact, the four aircraft of Li Chad's squad could not defeat the second target, a heavy fighter, which was already explained, which was enough to attract attention from the commander on duty.

It is precisely because of this that he attaches so much importance to the inexplicable disappearance of the second target.

Although it is just a "confrontation drill", no one will really use guns and cannons, but excluding these factors, other tactical actions are all real. If the Shenhuoyi heavy fighter jet breaks through the air defense circle, its face will be thrown to the bottom of the sea for thousands of meters. Their goal is to enter the 12 nautical miles of the island and reef. If not only does not achieve the goal but also break through the air defense circle, then their combat capabilities will be re-examined.

The commander on duty hesitated for a moment and then issued a first-level combat readiness order.

Before this, the special-mix fleet was in a second-level combat readiness state, which shows that they did not take the Hi-Tech 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft seriously. Of course, in the case of the special-mix fleet, no one would take a Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft seriously. They didn't even need to dispatch fighters, and they could drive the old aircraft far away with the air defense firepower of the escort destroyer. The purpose of sending the Lichad four-plane formation was not only ordered to fight the drills, but also the purpose of training the troops.

The order to sound the first-class combat readiness at this time shows that the No. 1616 J-16 caused them great trouble. A heavy fighter that disappeared under their noses is like a submarine that cannot be detected by sonar, and the threat posed by it is huge, even more terrifying than the submarine.

The commander on duty is very clear about this.

When they were thinking hard about where the disappearing Shenhuy heavy fighter jet went, they almost completely ignored the high-tech 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft that was approaching quickly. Before that, the aircraft had rushed into the air defense circle of the Special Mixed Fleet twice, and blocked one of the destroyers trying to enter the 12 nautical miles of the island and reef, forcing the ship to turn urgently to avoid a collision accident, but the mission of entering the 12 nautical miles of the island and reef also failed.

So they did not pay enough attention to the fast approaching Hi-Tech 33 Y-8 maritime patrol aircraft, thinking that they were just using the same trick again. The most important thing is that they knew that the aircraft did not have any attack ability, so what if it was allowed to fly over the fleet?

"The first target is eight nautical miles away." There is a staff report.

The commander on duty looked at the body of the High-Tech 33 Y-8 maritime patrol flew deeply. Why did the old Y-8, who had been beaten to the point where he had to ask for support and had been fighting with the special mixed fleet for more than an hour in a year and two trials again?

Did another fighter plane really return?
