Xiang Xiaoqiang and the others did not know where the front lines of the two sides were, so they did not dare to take risks, so they could only fly eastward as much as possible. The airport currently determined to be controlled by the Ming army was Jiuquan Airport.
The straight-line distance from Dihua to Jiuquan is about 1,000 kilometers, but they dare not fly in a straight line because it will inevitably pass through the Turpan and Hami areas. The area is densely populated and has many towns, so it must be a key area for Soviet air defense. From there, it is direct
If you fly over there, you'll easily run into Soviet troops.
Therefore, Xiang Xiaoqiang asked the pilot to make a detour and fly north first, then turn eastward over the Kurbantunggut Desert, fly into Outer Mongolia, and fly straight over the no-man's land of the prairie and Gobi.
East, and finally turn straight south and fly to Jiuquan. The journey is about 1,600 kilometers.
When the Philippines was flying over the Kurbantunggut Desert, the pilot Ayukhan shouted for help on the radio according to the fourteenth grid arrangement, claiming that he had encountered a Ming army fighter jet and was trying to get rid of it. Then he deliberately made the radio intermittent, and finally completely
Broken.
In this way, in the next few hours, the Soviet airport control tower will not be able to track this aircraft.
After turning off the radio, the plane turned northeast and flew towards Outer Mongolia.
It takes about five hours to fly to Jiuquan Airport. During these five hours, Shi Shige changed the frequency of the airborne radio and called the Ming Army radio station using digital codes. For the first two hours, all he received was noise.
Si Gege couldn't help but feel anxious and became more and more nervous. She didn't know the condition of this Soviet airborne radio, how powerful it was, and whether the channel modification was correct. She understood that it was entirely possible that the Ming army could not be called all the way to Jiuquan.
. In that case, this Soviet transport plane would have to be shot down.
During the third and fourth hours, Fourteen Gege still kept calling, and she was about to fly out of Outer Mongolia and enter Inner Mongolia and Gansu. The sweat on her face also seeped out.
"Yan Bin, look at how many parachute bags there are on the plane."
She raised her head and ordered. Although her tone was still calm, several people understood the seriousness.
Wu Yanbin's face turned pale and he ran to the back to take a look. After a while, he ran back and his face became even paler:
"Your Highness, there is only one umbrella bag."
Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't hold back his anger anymore and said to Kuandik:
"Ask the pilot if there's only one."
Kuandik asked, and then said:
"He said that because there was only one person on this mission, the ground crew only released one."
Several people looked at each other and understood the seriousness of the matter.
Fourteen Gege said nothing, and continued to lower his head, adjusting the radio, and kept trying to call.
…
A big desert appeared below, and in the distance it was all desert, with no end as far as the eye could see.
Pilot Ayukhan looked down at the map, pointed to a desert in Inner Mongolia in the north of Gansu, nodded, and indicated that this was where it was.
Xiang Xiaoqiang leaned over and took a look at the map, and recognized that this was the Tengger Desert. The Tengger Desert was already more than a hundred kilometers east of Jiuquan, which meant that it was a bit too far.
Ayouhan also turned the rudder, tilted a few degrees to the right, and flew roughly in the direction of Jiuquan.
At this moment, there was finally an answer from the radio station.
Fourteen Gege immediately held the headset and shouted loudly to identify himself. The Ming Army communications soldier at the other end was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it.
After a while, the signal soldier stated that he was not at Jiuquan Airport, but at the People's Guard Northwest Headquarters in Lanzhou. However, they would immediately coordinate with the Lord and the Princess to allow them to land at Jiuquan Airport.
Soon, the communications troops of the Lanzhou Command sent another call sign, informing them that the arrangements had been completed and they could land directly at Jiuquan Airport.
Putting down the headset, Fourteen Gege slumped in his seat with a tired smile on his face. Another burst of crazy cheers broke out in the aircraft cabin.
Now, they have finally escaped completely and are completely safe.
…
After flying south for a while, the desert in front gradually disappeared, and large tracts of desert shrubs appeared, and soon small patches of oases appeared. This indicated that we were about to enter the oasis corridor of Gansu.
At this moment, Ayouhan suddenly shouted and pulled the control stick. The entire body of the plane tilted over and dived quickly. There were screams on the plane, and Xiaoqiang, Shi Shigege and others fell to the ground.
group.
A roaring "buzz" passed over the head, followed by several "ding-dong-dang" knocks on the bulkhead, and a few rays of light leaked in from the roof of the cabin.
——Several big holes were punched in the roof of the plane!
He immediately pounced on Shi Shigege, pressing her tightly under him to protect her. At this moment, the scene from that year suddenly flashed through his mind: rescuing Qiu Qiu and the others, hijacking the plane and crossing the Yangtze River, and what they suffered.
When the Qing army attacked with artillery fire, I also protected Xiuxiu in this way. Unexpectedly, the scene happened again.
After diving for a while, Ayukhan pulled the plane up again. There were screams in the cabin again, like riding a roller coaster.
The fighter jets from behind rushed over quickly, and there was another burst of "click, click, click" fire. Two bullets hit the wooden box, and sawdust flew everywhere.
What on earth is going on? Xiang Xiaoqiang presses the fourteen squares firmly, thinking quickly in his mind, hasn't it been arranged? Why are there still fighter jets attacking? Could it be a patrol fighter that happened by chance?
Fourteen Gege struggled to get out from under him, and then rushed towards the radio station, adjusting the channel and shouting loudly:
"Don't attack, we are Ming army officers! Don't attack..."
The fighter jet came up from behind again, and a string of tracer bullets hit it, and several bullet holes were pierced on one side of the wing.
Fortunately, this is a large aircraft and a transport aircraft, and the stuff made by the Soviet Union is very solid, very durable, and has a "flying fortress" feel. The caliber of the fighter's machine gun is not large, 7.9 mm. If it is a single shot
A small plane, or the opponent's 20mm machine gun, may have been shot down by this time.
Xiang Xiaoqiang cursed in his heart: Grandma, I originally said that I would add a few bullet holes to it, but now I don’t have to.
Suddenly, there was an echo in the headset. The other party was indeed a Ming Army fighter jet, and the pilot was very surprised. He couldn't believe that the Soviet aircraft was actually a Ming Army officer.
The pilot on the opposite side gave an order for the transport plane to land at the nearest Jiuquan Airport.
Here, Shi Shigege and Xiang Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief: they finally escaped with their lives.
…
Ten minutes later, an airport was seen in the distance below. This was Jiuquan Airport. The pilot Ayukhan was about to press the nose of the plane to prepare for landing, when suddenly a black cloud appeared in front of him, and then a muffled sound floated into the driver's seat.
cabin.
"Crack!"
A large white spot was punched through the cockpit glass, and a shrapnel bounced off the roof of the cockpit and nailed it to the wooden box.
"Ah! Anti-aircraft guns!"
There was another scream in the cabin, and Fourteen Girls rushed to the radio again...
Black clouds of anti-aircraft guns exploded one after another in the front, rear, left and right. The cabin was shaken violently like an earthquake, and shrapnel came in from time to time, making a tinkling sound.
Then, a stream of tracer bullets flew up from below - and the machine gun opened fire.
However, the anti-aircraft artillery fire lasted very short this time. It was probably because the Ming army fighter jets that followed made urgent contact, and the airport air defense force also issued an emergency ceasefire.
A few minutes later, the transport plane, riddled with holes, stopped at the end of the runway.
A firetruck and an ambulance rushed over with a loud voice and stopped next to the transport plane. Immediately afterwards, several military doctors rushed over carrying a stretcher.
"Boom!"
The cabin door opened, Xiang Xiaoqiang appeared at the cabin door with his hands on his hips and an angry face, yelling:
"I'll fuck you..."
The military doctors below were stunned, standing there stupidly carrying a stretcher, looking up at Xiang Xiaoqiang.
While Xiang Xiaoqiang was venting to his heart's content, Fourteenth Gege was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, playing with a headset in his hand, staring suspiciously at the airport below and the people on the runway. She was not like Xiang Xiaoqiang.
He was eager to vent, and he was not as eager to get off the plane as Wu Yanbin. Shi Shigege subconsciously felt that it was not necessarily safe to be on the plane now.
The Lanzhou headquarters has obviously already coordinated. Is it just a simple coordination error?
