Chapter 776 I'm lucky
Karim is only 20 years old this year, but he is one of the most mysterious "land aviation regiment" pilots in the Somali National Defence Force.
Since he was a child, Karim yearned for the blue sky, but Karim, who was born in a civilian family, did not have enough financial support for him to realize his dream. The bad situation in Somalia, not to mention the air force, even the army was the modern army decades ago.
I thought that he could not realize his dream of flying to the blue sky in his life, but who knew that the country would soon be peacefully reunified. The modern army was under construction, and the navy and air force were also under construction. At one opportunity, Karim entered the Somali Air Force Flight Academy and became a flight cadet.
A year later, Karim had the opportunity to do higher flight training, but because of the shortage of pilots in the army, he had to enter the army early with many of his classmates. At the beginning, when Karim knew that the troops he joined were not the real air force, nor the most advanced Su-27SS fighter of the Somali Air Force, but an extremely 'ugly' propeller plane, Karim's mind was full of water. But when he really learned about this mysterious 'land aviation regiment', he was extremely glad that the plane he was flying was not 'ugly' and not backward, but extremely magical. It could be said that it was the only regular active propeller aircraft force in the world.
This night, the Air Force Command issued an emergency order. Karim, like his companions, immediately drove his beloved LH017 Golden Eagle attack aircraft to search for terrorists after receiving the order.
According to the real-time information provided by the superiors, the target is most likely to escape to the west and the north, and the second team where Karim is located, the search area is the northern part of Hargeza City, with the Huber Highway as the axis to search for all large and small motor vehicle networks.
At the beginning, the 12 attack planes of the second team were still formed together, but soon, the 12 planes dispersed. Every time they encountered a forked road, one of the planes left the team.
Karim is now flying LH017 at low altitude on a secondary line separated from the Huber Highway in the north of Hargesa. The road connects the northwest prairie, and then crosses it to the seaside, ending at the coastal highway Pazer Highway.
"Ali, didn't you fall asleep?" Karim then searched for the searchlight under the plane for a while, feeling that his wide eyes were a little tired, so he picked up the communicator and played a joke on his companion behind him. The Golden Eagle attack aircraft is a two-seat attack aircraft. In addition to a pilot, there is also a co-pilot and shooter. Sometimes, the co-pilot can replace the pilot to carry out simple control of the aircraft. This design is available in many two-seater aircraft. Although the Golden Eagle attack aircraft is a propeller aircraft, it can be used to ensure the aircraft. Survivability, the design department still designs the aircraft as a two-seater model. When the pilot is hit by ground fire and the plane has no time and space, the superior surname of an extra co-pilot is reflected. In addition, the two-seat aircraft is a good way for Somalia when the pilot training system is not yet complete.
"Yes, I'm looking for the damn terrorists. Just now on the public channel, I heard that the traces of the terrorists have not been found yet, and the Buddha has disappeared." Ali replied lazily.
Since the day they joined the land aviation group, they have been partners. Their relationship with each other is extremely close. For them, joking is as ordinary and simple as eating.
Karim's heart moved and said hesitantly, "Ali, do you think the target will be somewhere below us?"
Ali's lazy expression immediately disappeared. Like the powerful motivation injected by the Buddha, he said energetically, "Karim, if this is really the case, we are going to make contributions this time. I have long wanted to remove the warrant officer on my shoulder and replace it with a second lieutenant. Damn it, I'm still a trainee officer. "."
Hearing Ali's cursing, Karim's face showed a smile on his face. He knew that Ali did not value power, but the salary of an officer's status. The salary difference between the warrant officer, a trainee officer and the second lieutenant, was obvious. For pilots like them, as soon as they enter the army, they will have the rank of warrant officer. If they have made contributions or excellent results before, they can even become second lieutenant directly. Otherwise, they can only become second lieutenant after flying safely for 100 hours and a year. Of course, this is a case where there is no meritorious service in peacetime. If there is credit, it is difficult to calculate. For example, Jababa, the squadron leader of the Second Fighter Squadron, is only two years higher than them. He belongs to the first flight cadets of the Flight Academy. It was because he participated in the Soken War and the War to recover Somaliland, and shot down three. In just over a year, the enemy aircraft became a major and a real major. He is the commander of the 2nd Fighter Squadron of Somalia's most powerful air force.
Jababa is sought after by countless new cadets of the Somali Air Force.
Ali's family conditions are not good, and his salary has to support a big family. Therefore, getting a higher position and getting more salary has become the goal and ideal of Ali as a young man.
"Ali, if you want to make contributions, you have to look carefully. Don't let the target run away from our eyes. At that time, not only will there be no credit, but you may also go to the military court." Karim smiled softly and reminded him that he knew that his companion was capable, but he was very lazy and his surname was not very good, which was also an important reason why Ali could only be a co-pilot and not a driver.
"Ali, what are you doing?" After a while, Karim didn't hear Ali's reply, so he couldn't help asking doubtfully.
"Shh... Karim, I'm afraid we're really going to make contributions this time." Ali's slightly excited voice came from the headphones, which shocked Karim. Did he really have good luck?
Karim immediately stared at the road below. There was a black hole, nothing, and the area illuminated by the searchlight was also empty, with only a simple road leading to the distance.
"Where is it?" Karim lowered his voice and said as if he was heard by the target below.
"on the radar screen."
"..."
"Damn it, was found?" On the empty prairie, a silver-gray van is dodging left and right. The grassland here is not a rare grassland. Here, because there are many herdsmen, the pastures are very low and knee-high. A van can't hide in more environments. From time to time, Amin and others looked through the window at the searchlights shining down in the distant sky and the unique roar of the plane. They couldn't help scolding one after another. They didn't know whether they scolded themselves for being stupid and running to the grassland or scolding the plane for coming too fast.
"Messenger, what should we do? Will we be caught, will they kill us..." Jian Ming's face has long without the sense of joy and excitement of escaping from heaven. His face is pale, and he speaks shivering like a dead father. From time to time, a touch of fear flashed in the eyes of the boss in the dark.
In more than half an hour since they fled from Hargeisa, they avoided the pursuit again and again. They changed a road on the plane and finally came to the grassland hundreds of kilometers away. They only need to cross the grassland to the seaside, and they don't worry about the pursuers behind them, because the organization has I prepared a boat for them at the seaside. On the side of the Gulf of Aden in Somalia, the coastline of Somalia is almost undefensed. Only some police and militia can't patrol the long coastline at all.
"Shut up, MD is crooked. I did you first." An Amin's men were impatient at first. Perhaps because of the great pressure brought by the plane, the man stared, his fierce and cruel eyes shot directly into the concise eyes, and even raised the muzzle of the AK rifle in his hand. If he was not afraid of shocking the plane, he had the idea of giving Jianming a shuttle.
Amin was shivered by the fierceness of the terrorist and quickly stammered, "I'm just asking... Yes, I'm just asking."
An old Harlan, who was focused on driving, also said at this time, "Your Excellency, it can't go on like this. There is no place to hide around. Once found, we can no longer get rid of them." On such an empty prairie, it is impossible for the car on the ground to get rid of the chase of the plane in the sky unless the plane is out of gas.
And this place is only dozens of kilometers away from Hargesa Air Force Base. No plane can consume much fuel to fly here. Not to mention chasing, it is not a problem to drive a few people out of the sea.
"I don't know what plane is up there? Do you have any weapons? Amin frowned and looked at the bright searchlight in the sky. His eyes widened as if he wanted to see the plane behind the searchlight clearly, and he was also talking to himself.
"Your Excellency, listen to the sound of this plane, it is not a helicopter, but at the speed of this plane, it is not a fighter. I think it is very likely to be the legendary propeller plane." Harlan hesitated and said. He was lurking in Hargeisa and also worked part-time to inquire about some information. Although he had never seen the Somali propeller troops with his own eyes, he had heard a lot, and even seen vague pictures published by a certain media.
"What about weapons? Does this plane have any weapons? A Ming nodded thoughtfully and then asked again. If there are no weapons, they still have hope of escaping. Otherwise, they have no choice but to surrender unless they are willing to be sifted.
Old Harlan said with a wry smile, "When I look at the appearance of this kind of plane, I know that it must be equipped with weapons. No... I was found out."
The plane, which was still wandering around behind, suddenly accelerated, and the searchlight was also shifting in the direction of irradiation, which was where their van was located.
