At this moment, Zhuo Yifan's cell phone suddenly rang. This time the caller was not his grandfather, but an unknown number. Zhuo Yifan's heart moved, and he immediately understood the origin of this number.
With a wink at Xie Dongting, Zhuo Yifan immediately answered the call and put the phone to his ear.
"Xiaofan?" A familiar voice came over, it was Guo Zifeng, the leader of the guard regiment.
"General Guo? It's me!" Zhuo Yifan agreed with a smile.
"No. 1 wants to talk to you, and you have to explain to him what happened today!" Guo Zifeng explained in a calm tone, and then heard the sound of another person taking the microphone.
"Zhuo Yifan!" The sonorous and powerful voice of Chief No. 1 came out from the mobile phone again, and there was no emotion or anger in his tone.
"Chief, what are your orders?" Zhuo Yifan asked bluntly.
"What's the order? Aren't you going to explain to me what happened today?" Upon hearing this, the No. 1 leader's tone suddenly dropped, seeming a little dissatisfied.
Zhuo Yifan explained helplessly: "When we first set off from London, everything was normal. The plane flew normally for more than five hours and entered the border area between Iran and Afghanistan. But here, suddenly there were two more planes.
Fighters of unknown origin carried out targeted attacks on us, and even did not hesitate to use their fuselage to ram our aircraft in an attempt to destroy both of them! But in the end the situation was controlled and there were no casualties!"
"So what's going on now?" Chief No. 1 continued to ask.
"The wing of the aircraft was severely damaged by artillery fire from the opponent's fighter jets. We can only choose to make an emergency landing at the airport in Afghanistan. Everyone is currently resting and the aircraft is also undergoing maintenance. But if we want to send Zhao Zhengyang back to China as soon as possible, I
I don’t agree with the continued use of aircraft for escort!” Zhuo Yifan suggested bluntly.
"Oh? Tell me the reason!" Chief No. 1 asked with some surprise.
"Because taking off from Afghanistan and entering China, you will pass through a relatively dangerous area. I think you should be very aware of the problem in Kashmir. Some people are very powerful there. Since they can be in Iran, they have started to use fighter jets to intercept them.
We, I think they will continue to do this. What's more, Kashmir has more advantages for them than inside Iran. Even if we go around the Wakhan Corridor or Tajikistan, we may not be able to escape their attacks. So I
I think it is not suitable to use aircraft for escort again. After all, at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, if any situation occurs, the entire army may be wiped out!" Zhuo Yifan explained in a solemn tone.
Chief No. 1 pondered for a moment, and then slowly agreed: "Well! This time your analysis is correct. Then according to your suggestion, if you don't use a plane, how can you safely and quickly send Zhao Zhengyang back to me?
"
"You can't go in the sky, and you can't go in the sea either. In the end, there is only the land route. According to my idea, we will go directly from the Afghan border to the Chinese territory." Zhuo Yifan said thoughtfully.
"You mean, you walked here directly from the Wakhan Corridor?" Chief No. 1 asked slightly surprised.
"Yes, although this road is more difficult to walk, with an average altitude of about 4,000 meters, it is better than being used as a target in the sky! Moreover, the reaction ability is faster on land, and when encountering sudden situations, there are more options to follow
How to deal with it!" Zhuo Yifan explained matter-of-factly.
Hearing this, Chief No. 1 couldn't help but fell silent. Zhuo Yifan was not in a hurry and quietly waited for his reply.
"If you set out tomorrow and enter China from the Wakhan Corridor, how long will it take?" Finally, Chief No. 1 asked again.
"If we set out tomorrow and nothing happens, I think we can arrive in southern Xinjiang early on the third day!" Zhuo Yifan said with certainty.
"Without any accidents? How likely is it that you would do this?" Chief No. 1 snorted disapprovingly.
"Um... It should be almost the afternoon of the third day!" Zhuo Yifan coughed slightly awkwardly.
"What do you mean by Dongting?" Chief No. 1 asked calmly.
Zhuo Yifan then looked at Xie Dongting and asked, "What do you think?"
"If I were given a choice, I would also choose to take the land route and enter China directly from the Wakhan Corridor. This is safer!" Xie Dongting nodded in agreement.
Zhuo Yifan then said into his cell phone: "My brother-in-law also wants the same thing as me. Now I'm just waiting for your order!"
"Since you all think so, what else do I have to say? I will contact the Northwest Military Region and go to the border to meet you. When we get to the border defense there, we will return to the capital together after Guo Zifeng arrives!" Chief No. 1 pondered.
After a moment, he immediately opened his mouth and ordered.
"That's what I've been waiting for. Don't worry about what happens next!" Zhuo Yifan agreed confidently.
"Don't worry? How are you going to make me feel relieved? Only when you really send Zhao Zhengyang to the capital can I feel relieved. Before that, you must keep me in high spirits and never allow any more mistakes.
!" Chief No. 1 snorted angrily.
"Okay, chief, it's nothing, I'll hang up now!" Zhuo Yifan asked awkwardly.
"Wait a minute!" Chief No. 1 asked in a deep voice: "What happened to the two fighter jets that attacked you today? Where are the pilots?"
"Both fighter jets have crashed. As for the pilot, my brother-in-law and I also killed them. There was no one left alive at that time!" Zhuo Yifan explained helplessly.
"Okay, get busy!" Leader No. 1 agreed, and then Zhuo Yifan heard a busy tone from his cell phone, which obviously meant that the call had been interrupted.
Zhuo Yifan put away his phone and smiled helplessly at Xie Dongting: "The old guy has such a bad temper!"
"He is anxious! He is under increasing pressure now and can only share the pressure on us." Xie Dongting nodded disapprovingly.
"Then when can we set off? Tomorrow morning?" Zhuo Yifan asked, changing directions.
"Of course, the sooner the better. It's enough for the two of us plus Zheng Dong and eight others to escort Zhao Zhengyang back!" Xie Dongting nodded in agreement.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xie Dongting opened the door directly and saw Zheng Dong standing outside the door with a black bag.
"Zheng Dong, what's the matter?" Xie Dongting glanced at the black bag and asked curiously.
"I'm here to deliver something to Mr. Zhuo!" Zheng Dong nodded and explained.
"Come in!" Zhuo Yifan shouted while sitting on the sofa.
"A chapter of 2,000 words starts today, thank you for your support."
