    December 26, 1980, ten o'clock in the morning.  Located in the frontline support airport ten kilometers away from Xingwei, an important town in the mountains in the northeast, a shrill siren suddenly rang out to the west.  A group of airport maintenance technicians and workers on standby in the maintenance hangar came out chatting and laughing. A driver slowly walked towards the fuel truck parked in front of the hangar and opened the door.  After him, three more technicians followed him and squeezed into the cab. Several others were holding on to the handlebars, hanging outside like a juggler.  The car started, slowly turned around, and drove leisurely towards the tarmac.  An alarm is a battle signal, but this is a support airport far away from the front line. No one believes that the People's Army can reach here.  Although the sirens kept ringing shrilly, everyone still acted lazily and did not take it seriously.  Dozens of soldiers wearing Yading Army uniforms pushed trolleys filled with maintenance tools, aircraft ammunition, and aviation bombs. They came out of the ammunition depot in groups of two and a half and pushed them toward the tarmac in a hurry.  go.  Their safety awareness was very poor. Even though there was a bomb on the trolley, many of them still had cigarettes in their mouths, telling dirty jokes and bursts of laughter from time to time.  When Major Maung Kong, the airport commander, strode into the pilot lounge, all the pilots were still lazily leaning on the folding chairs, gesticulating and joking, without looking nervous at all.  Some people were still hanging around in the lounge, pouring coffee, smoking cigars, talking and laughing.  Of course they won't be nervous.  This airport is ten kilometers behind Xingwei. The People's Army is possessed by Shen Gong. If they want to attack, they must attack Xingwei first.  Despite the sirens outside, none of the pilots felt scared and were still chatting and laughing.  They are the true pride of heaven!  Even the Yan Ding Army, which is very strict in respecting superiors and inferiors, treats pilots like them who spent huge sums of money to train with great courtesy.  "Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet!" Major Maangkong was very troubled by these unruly pilots. He couldn't hit or scold them, so he had no choice but to slap his hands hard and try to attract their attention.  Come over, even walk down, tap each one on the shoulder to make them stop talking.  "I just received a telegram from the Gunnong front line. It said that a People's Army who didn't know where they came from went around behind the Changqing Mountain defense line and launched a sudden attack from the southwest in the morning. At that time, a company and a self-defense company stationed at the 1600 Highland  The brigade was unable to contact us after sending the distress telegram. It was estimated that the high ground had been lost. Then we contacted various checkpoints and found that a platoon stationed at the 1810 highland on the right peak of Changqing Mountain had also lost contact. Therefore, our superiors asked us to go and take a look.  , have these two places really been lost? At the same time, check how many enemies there are Maung Aung, Deng Min, just the two of you are dispatched!" Major Maung Kong said sternly with a straight face.  After all, the other party was a superior, and the order came from a higher level. Although Captain Maung Aung and Captain Thein Min were reluctant, they still stood up and saluted softly: "As ordered!" So what's wrong with us?  The others glanced at the two unlucky men, snickered, and then immersed themselves in their discussion, each doing their own thing and ignoring Major Maangkong who was still in the lounge.  "We are so unlucky!" Captain Denmin grabbed his flight helmet and threw it hard on the back of his chair. Then he muttered and walked out of the lounge with his companions, shaking towards the tarmac not far away.  He walked over in a flash.  Xingwei is a small and narrow city in the valley, fifteen or six kilometers long from east to west and less than three kilometers wide from north to south.  Ninety percent of the flat land within the territory has been reclaimed as farmland, so the actual urban area is less than two kilometers from east to west and less than 500 meters wide, making it very small.  Such a narrow place certainly cannot accommodate a regular airport that can take off and land transport aircraft.  Even the front-line support airport is a dirt runway located ten kilometers behind.  Three old propeller Spitfires from World War II, two Pilatus PC-6s, and a Cessna 180 light propeller aircraft were parked not far from the weed-covered runway.  The refueling truck was refueling the plane, and a dozen technicians were climbing up and down around the plane to conduct pre-takeoff inspections.  Another ground crew member pushed a cart full of ammunition to the attack aircraft, replenishing the two Hispano 20-mm cannons with shells, and mounted four 40-pounders under the belly of the aircraft.  aerial bombs.  The Seding Army was the Seiding Independence Army that first resisted British colonial rule. The supporters behind it were actually the Japanese.  After the beginning of World War II, the Independence Army captured Quanjuding with the assistance of the Japanese army.  Before the end of World War II in 1945, the Independence Army made another brilliant counterattack, launched a front-line uprising, and returned to the embrace of the British.  At this time, Si Dingjun?Reorganized into the Royal Air Force of Heiding, and at the same time established the Royal Air Auxiliary Force of Heding to support the Royal Air Force's operations. It mainly drives transport aircraft to transport supplies and provides air support for ground troops.  When the British were forced to do nothing by the American colonial liberation movement and allowed the colonies to become independent, the Yading Army also obtained various types of aircraft left by the British army, and based on this, it established its own air force.  "However, Jiding is poor and isolated, and there has been no major improvement in Air Force aircraft for decades.  The only jet aircraft in the fleet are British Vampire fighter jets from World War II.  There are also 120 Spitfire propeller fighters from World War II.  Over the past few decades, most aircraft have become extremely old and are constantly being scrapped.  By dismantling parts, the Heding Air Force now only has about thirty vampire jet fighters and more than eighty Spitfire fighter jets that can fly.  In order to make up for the lack of strength, the Heding Air Force also purchased some light civilian aircraft from the United States in the 1960s as communication aircraft, and some were modified as light bombers.  In addition, I bought some relatively good things from Israel. For example, the Pilatus PC-6 general-purpose machine in front of me was bought from Israel.  After modification, the PC-6 can carry one thousand kilograms of ammunition and fly continuously in the air for four and a half hours. It uses aerial cannons and small aerial bombs to provide long-term aerial fire support for ground troops. It is a rare specialized weapon in the Yading Air Force.  Ground attack aircraft.  Maung Aung and Thein Min are the pilots of these two PC-6s.  They hugged their helmets and stood listlessly aside, watching the people going about their business in a kind of way. They were neither anxious nor urging, they just stood aside and watched.  After about half an hour, the ground crew finally filled the plane with fuel and replenished ammunition. The two clapped each other's hands. With the help of the ground crew, they opened the cabin door and stepped on the small wooden piers to get into the driver's seat.  room.  He put on his helmet, started the engine, and slowly drove the plane onto the runway.  As the ground flag was waved downward, the plane began to accelerate slowly, getting faster and faster along the runway. When it taxied to a distance of 170 meters, the nose was slightly raised, and the two front wheels left the ground, gliding.  Towards the sky.  The maximum flight altitude of PC-6 is 7,600 meters, but Deng Min and the others never fly above 3,000 meters.  "Because they are not equipped with high-altitude oxygen supply equipment, and Juding's own aviation manufacturing capabilities are almost zero. It is easy to say that they cannot install aviation machine guns, aerial cannons, hanging bombs, etc., but they cannot do equipment that is too complex.  Without oxygen supply equipment, they would not dare to fly to airspace above 5,000 meters.  To be honest, the People's Army is very poor, and the Juding Army is not much better.  If it weren't for his reputation as a righteous man, he would still have some weapons and equipment left by the British. He would have a certain amount of heavy equipment and complete all branches of the military. It would generally look like a regular army. If the two sides fight, who will lose and who will win?  It's hard to say.  The two PC-6s circled and climbed higher, leveled off after reaching an altitude of 2,800 meters, adjusted their direction, and flew towards the east.  The plane flew over Xingwei. The road below was very eye-catching, and a motorcade driving on the road could also be seen.  Due to limited financial resources, Deng Min and the others had very little time for actual flight training, and they had no problem taking off and landing.  However, the aviation instruments on the plane are all old-fashioned mechanical instruments, and their accuracy is very doubtful. They do not have the courage to rely on these navigation equipment to fly blindly.  What should I do if I fly in the wrong direction or wrong route and end up in China?  They have always relied on visual landmarks on the ground to determine the direction of flight.  There will be clouds above a thousand meters, so in order to see the ground targets clearly, they often lower the aircraft below 800 meters, or even 500 meters, so that they can see more accurately below.  "3012, 3012, I am 3011, do you want to fly down?" Teng Min put on the intercom mask and called Captain Maung Aung next to him.  At this height, you can see the mountains below clearly, and the scenery on the mountains is also clear.  But it is completely impossible to accurately identify smaller things.  Let alone a human being, even a towering tree cannot be distinguished from other trees.  "It's better not to do it!" Captain Maung Aung's nervous voice came from the internal channel. "We don't know how many there are. It's better if there are few of them. If there are many, they may carry anti-aircraft machine guns. It's safer for us to fly higher.  "Agree, I have the same opinion!" Deng Min gave a thumbs up to 3012 next to him across the cockpit, in favor of keeping the height unchanged.  "3011, 3012, this is the command tower. Gunnong asked us to check the enemy's strength. You descend to two thousand meters and fly at low altitude. If necessary, continue to descend to one thousand five hundred meters and carry out a ground attack!"  During the call, the sound of flight dispatch from the front-line airport control tower was heard.    He looked to the opposite side and saw Captain Maung Aung taking off the intercom mask and grinning at him. He also smiled, turned off the call switch and said, "Understood!" Then he flipped the switch to the receiving state and removed it too.  Talker mask.  The aircraft did not descend to the height required by the control tower and remained at 2,800 meters. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT. Do we really want to lower the flight altitude?  You're so stupid!  Who would do this before determining whether the enemy has anti-air weapons?  Of course you can assign whatever you want while sitting on the ground, but we are the ones doing the hard work!  Although they don¡¯t know that the foreign emperor¡¯s orders will not be accepted, in reality, they strictly follow this rule.  The control tower urged me a few more times, then stopped talking and seemed to have given up.  The maximum horizontal flight speed of the PC-6 is 230 kilometers per hour, and the most fuel-efficient economic cruising speed is 220 kilometers per hour.  It was only 60 kilometers from the frontline airport to the 1810 Highlands in Changqing Mountain. Even at the economical speed they were traveling at, it only took them a quarter of an hour to reach the 1600 Highlands next to the northern highway that their superiors asked them to investigate.  The two subconsciously raised the plane again and climbed to 3,800 meters.  This altitude is already very high, and there is no electric heating device in the cabin. Even though they are wearing leather jackets, the two of them still feel the cold air seeping in, and their body temperature begins to drop slowly.  Looking down from the cabin, the hills have become slightly smaller, and the trees on the hills are evenly connected into a green carpet. You can only tell where are the trees and where are the exposed rocks without vegetation.
