Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 27 Phantom 2000
"However, you are the only pilot left here."

"We have to borrow a pilot from the Pakistani side to help us transfer. Most of the pilots of the 26th Squadron have received J-10A training. Please help me contact their wing leader. We have to take off as soon as possible."

"It's hard to do now. The senior officers of the base have been transferred to the underground command room at the moment, and I can't find it. It is very difficult to mobilize a power supply vehicle now. Their task today is to retreat. All auxiliary vehicles They're all outside." Xiang Xiaohui said, Song Ning had no choice but to worry.

"There is no power supply car that can be started with the auxiliary power unit of the fighter jet. I will sign and go around, but I can't find the manpower, and the missile does not need to be dismantled, but I must leave here today."

"I said boss, you can find him. Ask him to fly another plane." Xiang Xiaohui raised his head towards the distance, Song Ning turned around and found that Sammy was standing far away from the gate I was inspecting a JF17 on duty, and one tire of the Thunderbolt was damaged by shrapnel.

"No, he's a lunatic, I...can't take the risk..."

"Old Song, he is the highest-ranking officer that can be found in the base. This old guy can command the tower, let us take off first, and can also send you a compressed air vehicle. You should think about it."

Song Ning just denied this idea when the harsh siren sounded again. He ran under the plane a few steps, grabbed the deaf and unresponsive radar engineer Zhou Guoqing and ran out. Just as he ran outside the hangar gate, there was an explosion sounding to the east. It sounded like a missile dropped a few kilometers away. This was obviously part of the second wave of attacks, and it was unknown where the missile was originally aimed at.

This time Song Ning did not hesitate, and immediately ran to Colonel Sami. The colonel seemed not surprised that he would take the initiative to walk over. The two whispered a few words, and then shook hands. It seemed that the matter was settled within ten seconds. .

Twenty minutes later, Colonel Sami sat in the cockpit of aircraft No. 20, and there were 01 missiles hanging under the wings that were too late to dismantle.He adjusted the radio to the band commonly used by the 4rd Wing, and then began to manually turn on the APU device inside the aircraft, trying to start the engine.

"Command post, I'm Black Spider 101. I have an urgent mission and need to help my Chinese friends get around. Two J-2 planes request priority takeoff."

The tower staff stopped for a while, obviously to ask for instructions. Sammy watched the engine start to run at a low speed. He released the brakes and slowly slid off the runway. He knew that there would be no problems with the takeoff. The wing captain never hindered himself.

"Colonel, you can take off behind fighter number 1125."

"Understood." Sami watched as a J-7P in front was accelerating to take off, and he was right behind it.

"Squadron leader, the runway has been cleared, ready to take off at any time."

"clear."

Sammy found the flight compass position on the instrument, which hadn't been there the last time he flew the A-frame of this type of aircraft.

"02, I will wait for your round at an altitude of 500 meters to the west."

"02 understands." Song Ning in Unit 2 replied.

"I noticed some changes in the gauges."

"Yes, but I don't have time to teach you."

"The engine sounds good. Um, where's the fuel distribution switch?"

"Under the right HDD."

Sammy switched the call switch to tower.

"Base, is there any latest enemy situation?"

As the colonel asked, he aimed at the runway, the engine speed was increasing, and now he was ready to take off at any time.

"Squadron leader, there is bad news. The fighter jets of India's No. 1 Squadron took off from Gwalior 25 minutes ago. Judging from the heading, it is likely to appear in the south." The tower reminded.

"Phantom 2000?"

"I don't know, the AWACS just left the southern airspace to support the Northern Command."

"Damn it! Don't leave sooner or later."

The colonel hastily set the route on the HDD, released the brakes, and the plane rushed to the front of the runway. It can be felt that the power of this plane is obviously better than that of the Thunderbolt; Moving to the end of the runway, his mind was confused, wondering if he had made a wrong decision.The personnel on the ground will take a Y-01 plane to meet up in Peshawar at a later date. Will there be any more branches?Really unpredictable.

"01, I saw you, I will fly with you."

"Keep the altitude, don't worry too much, it's just a half-hour flight."

"Will the airport in Peshawar be just as chaotic and difficult to land?"

"Yes, but at least the bombs haven't dropped on them yet."

"Colonel, why are you turning south? Isn't Peshawar heading west?"

"Major, something suddenly occurred to me. Nowshera has an independent air defense unit that is in combat mode. It may not be able to identify these two aircraft. It will be troublesome if they open fire."

"But isn't the South at war?"

"It's up to you to choose whether to fly over the missile field head-on, or to go around south?"

The colonel gave Song Ning the right to choose. Song Ning took a look at the RWS aircraft being scanned by multiple radars in different directions, and the radar beam to the west was obviously a surface-to-air missile position. He knew that in the current war environment, ground-to-air Missile commanders would likely fire on any aircraft that failed to respond by radio, and Sammy was right to be concerned.

"Okay, I listen to you, but you can't engage Indian fighters anyway, understand?"

"I'll avoid the battlefield."

The colonel didn't answer Song Ning's question clearly, and he made a big circle to the south.

"Black Spider leader, there are three Mirage 10s at 3 o'clock, altitude 2000." The ground suddenly reported a situation.

"distance?"

"129 kilometers away."

The colonel hesitated for a moment, and turned on the power of the phased array radar. Soon on the vertical display, he saw three bright spots flying by at high speed. They were passing in front of him at high speed, and they were probably rushing towards the ground at a certain depth. The target; the opponent may not have time to take into account the distant radar scan at 3 o'clock, and did not respond to the J-2's radar turning on.The colonel knows that if the course is not changed, the two sides will enter the range of their respective medium-range missiles within 10 minutes. However, the colonel estimates that since the Mirage 5-1 of the Indian No. 2000 Squadron is performing a bombing mission deep into Pakistan, it is likely that they will only Carrying bombs and short-range combat missiles, the desire to fight suddenly burned all over him.

"Major, turn on the radar, we've got some trouble."
