Gaoqi Airport is the closest airport. As one of the important international airports in the southeast region, it has as many as 380 takeoffs and landings every day, making it a very, very busy regional aviation hub.

Anyone with a second choice, Li Zhan is unwilling to make preparations for landing at such an airport, because it will have a great impact on the normal production and life of the local area.

A more critical issue is that it was already past five in the morning, and Gaoqi Airport, which has many international flights, has started the flight preparations for a new day two hours ago. The latest forecast from the meteorological observatory shows that "Sana" turned north 300 kilometers away. Most of the flights that were originally ready for cancellation can take off normally. Today, the flights will not take off much less than usual, which means that Gaoqi Airport is already busy at around five in the morning.

Fu reported the situation to the military district duty room. The military district duty room immediately launched a first-level response, and the relevant military and local mechanisms began to operate. Five minutes after Li Zhan issued the request, Gaoqi Airport received an order from the Southeast Air Traffic Center, requiring the airport to stop all flight work and do a good job in emergency support for military aircraft preparation landing.

The military representatives stationed in Gaoqi Airport acted quickly, and a group of people in military uniforms suddenly appeared in various positions to act as "people who issued orders", which surprised many staff members at the airport. Many of them did not even know that there were soldiers in the airport.

Railway stations, airports, ports, and even some large stations have representatives stationed by the military transport department of the troops, usually called military transport representatives. Military transport is not the military transport event. The main responsibility is to coordinate the use of local transportation for troop transport and other work, and the power is too great. Usually, it is so low-key that others don’t know their existence, and may not even coordinate transportation once a year. However, once an order is received, they appear like they appear out of thin air, and coordinate transportation work in the shortest time with a quick and decisive style.

The military transport representative office in regional aviation hub ports such as Gaoqi Airport is still very high in specifications. The deputy division level and deputy division of the permanent representative colonel have the power to directly take over the airport in specific circumstances, which is very awesome. For example, if the superiors order the airport to be requisitioned, the military transport representative office is the advance team responsible for taking over, and must enter various key positions as soon as possible to control the airport.

This mechanism is somewhat like a military control plan. When the troops fight, they need to use this airport. In this case, the professional team of the troops must take over the airport and must be completed in the shortest time. Therefore, the military transportation representative office can be regarded as a backup team for airport operations, with only basic personnel configurations and affiliated with the troops' backup team.

It should be noted that these are not the scope of national defense mobilization, but the contents of the military combat strategy plan. Maybe it won’t be used for ten or eight years, but once it is used, it must play its due role.

After receiving the order, the Gaoqi Military Transportation Office was summoned back except for the on-duty personnel. Everyone devoted themselves to the preparations with high enthusiasm. In normal times, there were too few opportunities to support the troops, and even less than one-tenth of the Railway Military Transportation Office. So when they heard that there were troops fighting planes to be prepared to land at the prosperous and world-renowned Gaoqi Airport, the officers and soldiers of the Military Transportation Office were all excited and devoted themselves to fighting a beautiful battle and perform well!

The Southeast District Management Center immediately called the backup plane, "Military Airlines 16th, I am the Southeast District Management, with a course of 270, and the front has cleared airspace. You can fly at any altitude and any speed, and it is finished."

"The southeastern area has a direction of 270, military navigation understands!" Li Zhan quickly confirmed the location. Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the tail rudder had moved. He thrust a few times, and the movement of the tail rudder wing surface returned to normal.

Li Zhan was overjoyed, "Old Chen, the tail rudder has returned to normal. It is probably the icing has melted, good news!"

"But we have been leaking oil. I have calculated that we can only fly to ten kilometers away from the airport under the current situation. Are we considering altitude gliding landing?" Chen Fei has not been idle. Based on the speed of fuel leakage and the distance pedal data of the reserve airport, he calculated where the plane can fly to the farthest. As a result, he found that he could only fly to ten kilometers east of Gaoqi Airport, which happened to be the coastline area. Chen Fei even knew that there was a beautiful beach that people all over the country knew.

Li Zhan adjusted all the wing surfaces to normal state, and increased the thrust of the right engine to the same as the left engine. Without the influence of other abnormal forces, the speed of the fighter slowly increased and soon returned to the airspeed of 350 kilometers per hour. After leaving the cloud wall area, the fighter could not fly with the wind. The airspeed had just dropped to 280 kilometers per hour.

Under no load, the J-16 can take off at a speed of 240 kilometers per hour. At this time, the No. 1616 J-16 is lighter than the no load, so the speed is not the biggest problem. Now that the speed has been improved, Li Zhan will try to get more heights when climbing the light lifting head of the machine as soon as possible.

Li Zhan said, "I understand, prepare to glide and land."

"There is a navigation point for 30 kilometers. Gaoqi Airport is at 1 o'clock. You must get down to the navigation point, otherwise you will miss the airport." Chen Fei said.

Li Zhan nodded slightly, "I understand, the 30-kilometer navigation point."

If Li Zhan could see the appearance of the fighter at this time, he would not have been as easy as he is now. The fuel leaked slightly from the fuselage at the belly fuel tank, and it quickly vaporized during the flight to pull out a squirt of smoke. Many skins on the fuselage had traces of tearing, and some serious areas even caused the paint surface to fall off.

The No. 1616 J-16 was like being taken out of a mixer. The light gray low-visual coating changed its appearance and looked miserable.

The most serious thing is that the fuel leakage is in front of the engine nozzle, and the sparks flashing under the engine compartment from time to time create a huge safety hazard. Once the abdominal fuel tank is ignited, the fighter may not be able to save it. However, Li Zhan has no way to know these symptoms unless he can see the situation under the engine compartment.

Several international flights at Gaoqi Airport have postponed passengers. Passengers on these flights received a notice that the departure time of the plane is to be determined due to weather reasons. This explanation makes it easy for passengers to accept, because everyone knows that there are typhoons in the sea hundreds of kilometers away, and it is wet everywhere in the airport waiting hall. Just a few hours ago, here just experienced the baptism of strong winds and heavy rains.

In this case, passengers may be worried about taking off on time.

Gaoqi Airport, which seemed to have pressed the pause button, was nervously preparing for emergency rescue. The public security fire rescue teams and other units were all in place. They had to land military aircraft and rushed up to kill all the threats in the bud. Comrades from the airport police station received the order to prepare for confidentiality at any time. All preparations were completed within a few minutes, and the reaction was extremely fast.

The commanders on the tower looked solemn. The military movement representatives whispered to the responsible persons of the airport from time to time. Then they kept getting new instructions. The relevant departments quickly adjusted the deployment and improved preparations according to the new instructions. The duty director of the Southeast District Management Center had already transferred all civil aircraft in the relevant airspace and cleared the clean airspace for the military airspace. The Second Division took off two J-10b fighter jets from Jiaying Station. Under the command of Fuzhi, they rushed to the south side of Gaoqi Airport to prepare for the response. They could provide observation support and guidance for the 1616 J-16 from the air at any time.

Coincidentally, the pilots of the two J-10bs were trainees led by Li Zhan, and the pilot of the pilot was Dai Mengming.

"Test 16, I'm Raptor 1. I'm in your ten o'clock direction, twenty kilometers away. Please note, I'm going to go there, it's over." Dai Mengming called Li Zhan.

Li Zhan saw two red dots galloping from the radar. The airborne radar was very advanced. He analyzed the aircraft model based on the characteristics of the target reflected waves. There are brief information on the small red dots that follow the display: target signal, altitude, speed, and heading.

"Raptor 1, I saw you. It's just right. My fuel leak is going to accelerate. Please help me see what's going on, it's over." Li Zhan said.

Dai Mengming immediately replied, "Raptors One received it! Arrived in one minute! It's finished."

He rushed to supersonic speed, and the wingman followed closely five kilometers behind the side. The roar of the two Taihang engines after the afterburner thrust the ground. Then the louder sound produced by the fighter jets after breaking through the sound barrier slammed the ground continuously. It took only fifty seconds to fly to the five-kilometer position of No. 1616 J-16.

Li Zhan turned his head and saw the lights of two J-10bs through the low light night vision. He said, "Raptor One, I saw you, come here boldly, my flight posture remains unchanged, it's over."

"I understand." Dai Mengming naturally knew that the person driving the No. 1616 J-16 was Teacher Li. He was very nervous, just like a student who was temporarily selected by the teacher.

Dai Mengming slowly approached the No. 1616 J-16. He didn't need to use a low light night vision to clearly see a flame tongue extending backwards at the belly of the aircraft and the engine compartment. He thought it was a navigation light, and after approaching two hundred meters, he finally confirmed that it was fire!

"Test 16th! The leaked fuel caught fire! It was just under the engine compartment!" Dai Mengmin was shocked and hurriedly informed.

Li Zhan and Chen Fei were both shocked. At this time, there were still twenty kilometers away from Gaoqi Airport and ten kilometers away from the coastline. The fire was the fuel tank. If the fire burned into the fuel tank, it might cause the entire belly fuel tank to explode! Not to mention twenty kilometers, I am afraid that it would not be able to fly out for two kilometers!

Even if you take the risk of landing successfully, the plane will be basically useless, and at least two engines will not be able to be saved.

Li Zhan must make a decision within three seconds.

But in the air, how can I destroy the open flames outside the fuselage?
Chapter completed!
