The support team found a semi-floating reef pan about 7 nautical miles from the fishing island to the east of the exercise water area, and set up a target to simulate the island's fixed target. In fact, by laying a few piles, a large square white cloth was pulled as a stronghold.

The layout of the target is exactly the same as that of the land target.

It’s just that small goal, in the vast ocean, how to discover the target based on the approximate orientation data given by the command post is a very test of the pilot’s grasp of the relative orientation. Fortunately, it has long stopped driving the second-generation aircraft, otherwise relying on ground guidance to find a target of only a dozen square meters in size is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.

This is the time when the sun sets. The sun is no longer visible on the sea surface of the East China Sea. Only the sea and sky in the west have a red glow.

Although the command post gave Li Zhan an attack task that was basically set for shooting needs, it did not reduce the difficulty. In the Mediterranean battle, the reputation of the little prince of the pull rod had long been spread throughout the army. If you deploy tasks for such a super ace, you would have to have some difficult problems, otherwise how to reflect the combat effectiveness of the super ace.

Although Feibao is old, he doesn't know how advanced the avionics system is than the second-generation master aircraft such as the J-7 and J-8. Of course, those second-generation master aircraft can simply be said to have no avionics system at all.

So Li Zhan is still facing relatively good situations.

It is certainly unreliable to rely on airborne radar. Old Feibao, the old radar with a maximum search distance of only 40 or 50 kilometers, should not expect to discover such a little reef target on the vast ocean.

You can only circle the smallest range as possible based on the general orientation parameters given by the command post, and then use radar search and visual search to find the target. This probably tests the pilot's ability to "move according to the map", and it also presupposes the background of insufficient mastery of target intelligence during wartime.

Niu Jun did not know the difficulties Li Zhan faced. She focused on operating the comprehensive tactical pod to collect radio signals from the airspace through, and used the limited interception capabilities of the comprehensive tactical pod to figure out as much airspace radio waves as possible in the sea area where the target is located.

When she did these things, she was no longer a part-time military journalist, but a veritable battlefield technical officer.

What surprised the command post was that after it was completely dark, Li Zhan still did not report the target. The command post deployed on the early warning aircraft called and asked: "Anger old leopard, you have been ten minutes behind the plan. Have you discovered the target? It's over."

Li Zhan was anxious and embarrassed. He was confident that he had conducted the most comprehensive search, but the result was disappointing.

He replied in frustration, "Report the command post, has conducted a search in the directive waters, no target was found, it is finished."

This surprised the command staff on the early warning aircraft, and there is also a target that the South China Sea Mad Dog cannot find? Perhaps the South China Sea Mad Dog may have encountered Waterloo in the East China Sea. But to be honest, when the staff of the command post saw the darkness outside through the synchronous transmission of the picture, they could understand why Li Zhan could not find the target.

Maybe this time the target was set too tricky.

But then again, isn’t the purpose of setting firepower points in the war to prevent the enemy from being discovered?

Li Zhan admitted that he had failed, his visibility is now coming to zero, and the sky is completely dark, and it is just useless to continue searching.

The little prince of the pull rod is also helpless!

He asked the command post: "The command post, the angry old leopard failed to shoot live ammunition, and requested to transfer to the restricted navigation area to support the task, and it was completed."

The command post immediately replied: "The angry old leopard can transfer..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Li Zhan: "Command Post! I found the target! It was located at twelve o'clock, about five kilometers away! It was finished!"

The command post could not see anything, but the airborne radar of the No. 81198 JH-7 did show a weak target signal.

"Command post! The angry old leopard requested an attack! It's over!" Li Zhan quickly asked for instructions.

The command post did not hesitate, "The angry old leopard can attack as planned! It's over!"

"clear!"

Li Zhan immediately activated the old Feibao to accelerate forward, quickly established the attack route, opened the electric door, and took a break from his busy schedule to take a look at the enemy and enemy identification device-no response, he simply pressed the rod and dived, chose the aiming mode of the air cannon, and the aiming ring pressed steadily on the target.

His sudden actions attracted Niu Jun's attention. Niu Jun quickly helped confirm the target, but it was no longer meaningful for her to do these things now.

Li Zhan had already pressed the launch button, and the ninety-mm-caliber aviation rockets were launched one by one with their own power. The tail flames dragged out in the darkness almost connected back and forth, forming a long dash in the air.

After all the aviation rockets were pouring out, Li Zhan quickly pulled up a big side slip and turned around and climbed.

He launched an attack from a height of 300 meters, and continued to hit one hundred meters, and the distance from three kilometers to five hundred meters was almost a bayonet. The old flying leopard dived towards the target like a rushing eagle, but the aviation rocket replaced the eagle claw.

When Li Zhan pulled up and left, he glanced at the target and found that it seemed that it was not a target laid on the reef. Did he hit the wrong target?

But don't, if it causes accidental injury, it will be a sinner!

Niu Jun's words made his heart sink suddenly. Niu Jun said, "The target position parameters are wrong, and there are several secret positions missing!"

The command post naturally heard Niu Jun's words. The commander frowned and said quickly, "Did the angry old leopard attack the wrong target? Check it out quickly!"

"I understand! Check it now!" Li Zhan turned back anxiously, quickly lowered the height, took out the glitter telescope from his carrying bag and looked at the target.

Damn, I really hit the wrong target, but this wrong target is a bit strange. It is actually a wooden fishing boat stranded on the reef. Li Zhan fought very accurately. He no longer looked like a falcon under the attack of aviation rockets. He could only vaguely identify it as a wooden ship through the wreckage, and the tonnage should be only a dozen tons.

How could a ship appear here?

The brothers of the support team certainly did not set up targets, otherwise they would have driven them out long ago. Moreover, it is far away from the mainland, and it is impossible for a wooden ship worth more than ten tons to come here. Could it be a ship that has been stranded for a long time?

Li Zhan's heart suddenly became cold. He lowered his height again to search the water surface near the wreckage. What's even more strange is that there were no suspicious signs of the water surface, neither the person who fell into the water nor the body, nor even a drop of oil.

Maybe it was a small wooden boat that had been stranded for a long time?

Li Zhan immediately reported the observed situation to the command post. The command post replied that he asked the support team to verify the relevant situation and would send a ship to investigate.

If it is a small wooden boat that has been stranded for a long time, then the support team that sets up the target here will definitely know.

Li Zhan left the sea area with an unstable heart and quickly transferred to the guarantee task of controlling the prohibited navigation area. This unexpected situation caused the command post to issue an emphasis order to the peripheral guard team responsible for controlling the prohibited navigation area, including the Flying Shark Team, requiring all efforts to ensure the safety of the prohibited navigation area and that it must not cause any mistaken entry.

Three hours later, Li Zhan once again prepared to land in the big station.

After landing, he immediately asked about the on-site investigation of the command post through the big station, and then waited silently in the guesthouse, and even had no appetite for the meal he sent. The most afraid of being the small fishing boat he accidentally broke into. At this time, he was still thinking about why he had hit the wrong target, just hoping that the one he hit was an abandoned small fishing boat.

The targets arranged by the support team look almost the same as those of a small fishing boat from the radar, but the former is very difficult to capture by the radar. Furthermore, the radar clutter generated by the reef also affects the pilot's judgment. When the target cannot be visually confirmed, a target with almost consistent reflection characteristics appeared in the approximate position. As a result, Li Zhan mistakenly thought it was the target.

He was deeply guilty of self-blame. In other words, he might not be able to continue the mission if he changed his person, and he successfully completed the mission of guarding the restricted navigation area.

Niu Jun knew that Li Zhan was under great pressure and she was not in a mood to rest. She sat with him in Li Zhan's room waiting for news, and didn't even eat a bite of the meal in front of her.

She comforted, "Senior brother, there should not be unknown ships there. The security team will definitely do cleaning when setting up targets. The scope of the banned navigation area was also announced early, and no fishermen will break into it. It must be an abandoned fishing boat that has been stranded there long ago."

Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "What I worry about is that it is not our fishing boat. Small fishing boats of about ten tons will basically not drive to the far sea."

Niu Jun didn't know what to do. If this matter was the worst result, the impact would probably not be possible for him to imagine.

Of course, the announcement of the ban area is very clear, and you will bear all the consequences of breaking in without authorization.

Li Zhan sighed deeply, "I am too arrogant. The one who should have repeatedly confirmed the target was that I was too impatient."

Niu Jun said, "The situation at that time was not allowed to do this. If it was actual combat, you would not fly over the target and confirm the target through visual inspection, right? Isn't war a matter of sudden attacks and rapid withdrawal? Besides, the ban announcement is very clear, and those who are good at entering will bear the consequences. You don't have to blame yourself."

"It would be great if it was that simple." Li Zhan shook his head and sighed.

Since he got out of the army in 2008, and has been driving the plane for so long, it is the first time that he feels the powerlessness caused by the out-of-control situation. He has encountered many crises before, and he has dealt with them without any danger. He even responded to the extremely dangerous situation of being shot by Lao Lu's field air defense forces with live ammunition due to a communication accident.

Unexpectedly, I would be hitting a small target set up on the reef and somersaulted.

He reflected in his own blame that he was really a little arrogant, thinking that it was just a simple fire to shoot fixed targets on simulated islands. With his own strength, such a simple attack task was not easy to capture.

But the fact gave me a loud slap in the face. First, I searched for a long time and couldn't find the target, but then I found the wrong target. This is really ironic!

Niu Jun said, "The result has not been released yet, don't blame yourself."

She could only comfort her like this.

The two continued to wait in silence.

At 10:20 at night, the rapid footsteps were getting closer and closer. The door was not closed. A captain and staff officer at Dachang Station strode in. When Li Zhan heard the footsteps, he stood up and stared at the door. Niu Jun also stood up nervously, in a normal mood.

The captain and staff officer obviously came in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he said, "Chief, I found out that it was a small abandoned fishing boat that had been stranded for a long time. The results of the on-site investigation of the helicopter were consistent with the response of the support team!"

Li Zhan raised his head and his bones were relieved, Niu Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

But the captain's staff's next words made Li Zhan's nerves tense up. He said, "Chief, the command post is here to order you to be ready to move at any time. The eastern section of the prohibited flight zone is under great pressure. Our planes are all on the front line. You may have to move in the second half of the night."

"Okay, I'll eat something and go over and prepare immediately!" Li Zhan was shocked, and sat down and took a big mouthful of the meal that was already a little cold.

Niu Jun did not dare to neglect and quickly started to eat the battle meal. Before the exercise was over, she was still Li Zhan’s rear cabin pilot, and the camera in her hand wanted to record all scenes of the exercise throughout the whole process.

The most important thing is that she knew that the next thing she had to deal with was the reconnaissance and harassment of the Blue Army troops. This is the real opponent scene. Every related photo and every second video will be precious. Moreover, the comprehensive tactical pod she brought has not fully played its role!

Although the captain and staff officer just said it was very obscure, the meaning of the disclosure was clear-cut - the Flying Shark Squad may have already fought with the fighter jets that simulated the Blue Army.

This is almost certain. Li Zhan does not believe that the electronic reconnaissance aircraft and even combat opportunities on the Kaidao base of the Blue Army will miss such a good opportunity. They will definitely try every means to break into the restricted area.

After having a meal quickly, Li Zhan took a shower and improved his spirits. Then he rushed to the flight briefing room with Niu Jun. He had two hours of sleep in the afternoon. Li Zhan and Niu Jun were in great spirits at this time and could withstand another four-hour flight.

However, the flying shark team was in trouble. After two air refuelings, they continued until 18:00 in the afternoon before returning. That is, when Li Zhan took off for the second time, he stayed in the air for ten hours!

It is estimated that the Feisha team is also on standby at this time, and maybe it has taken off and rushed to the eastern section of the prohibited flight zone. The pressure there must be great, otherwise the command post would not allow Li Zhan, the old Feibao, who was alone in the big field, to be on standby at any time.

Li Zhan was waiting in the flight briefing room, and the notice from the command post was directly displayed on the display screen hanging on the wall. While Li Zhan looked, the navigation maps about the airspace in his mind were constantly appearing.

Also on standby were Su-30MKK pilots from a squadron of the Bald Eagle Division, they were going to perform exercise missions and raid thousands of kilometers to conduct long-range strikes. This is the main mission of HNA's White Eagle Su-30MKK.

The atmosphere was so dull that everyone's faces looked extremely serious.

The phone rings suddenly and breaks the dullness. Everyone is shocked and shining. The staff guarding next to the phone immediately answers, and before he even puts down the microphone, he says to Li Zhan, "Teacher Li! The command post orders you to go out!"

Li Zhan lifted up his flying helmet and rushed out. Niu Jun, who had already entered the state, rushed out with his own things...
Chapter completed!
