After quickly changing his clothes, Yuan Yi took the tactical tablet.
After quickly swiping a few times, I understood the ins and outs of the task.
"Rest assured, Brigade Commander, we guarantee the mission will be accomplished."
Yuan Yi approached Chen Qiuhua, saluted, and then shouted loudly.
Chen Qiuhua patted Yuan Yi on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"The main task this time is to bring back the more than 400 citizens who were stranded."
"Lebanon's internal strife is none of our business."
Yuan Yi nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, Brigade Commander, I understand!"
"Do not meddle in the affairs of other countries."
The political commissar, who was standing nearby, also heard Yuan Yi's words and nodded in satisfaction.
"Two Y-20 transport aircraft took off from our airport."
"We will refuel on the South Island, and two J-20s will take off from the South Island to escort you."
Yuan Yi nodded to indicate that he understood.
The direct flight distance from Lebanon to the capital is 8072km, and the flight time is 10 hours and 7 minutes.
The Y-20's maximum range is 7,800 kilometers.
If the 20-series aircraft is equipped with four external fuel tanks, its maximum range can reach approximately 6,500 kilometers.
Therefore, if you refuel and take off from the South Island, the straight-line distance between the two places is about 6,000 kilometers.
Aside from flights from the South Island, the distance from the New Province to Lebanon is also approximately 6,000 kilometers.
After Yuan Yi and others boarded the plane, the Y-20 took off.
More than three hours later, we landed directly at the airport on the South Island.
After refueling, it took off again, heading straight towards Lebanon.
Just after takeoff, two silver-gray painted J-20s could be seen flying alongside us from the window.
"Hello, I am a pilot codenamed Flying Eagle from the Eagle's Nest Squadron of the Air Force."
"Our unit has been ordered to provide you with two 20mm Jets for escort."
"Hello Flying Eagle, I am Zhou Kainian, the captain of the Y-20 transport aircraft."
"Thank you for your escort."
As the team leader, Yuan Yi naturally heard the conversation between the fighter jet and the transport plane through his earpiece.
Upon hearing the codenames "Eagle Nest Brigade" and "Flying Eagle," a person quickly flashed through my mind.
Chen Yadong was his wingman in the Eagle Nest Squadron at the time.
But shouldn't the Eagle's Nest Brigade be in Northeast China at this time?
Why are they on the South Island?
Is this another day-and-night relocation training exercise?
Yuan Yi did not contact Flying Eagle directly.
Although many people know that he can fly fighter jets, there is no need to contact him at this time.
They are carrying out ground missions, and fighter jets are sufficient to escort them.
Following the route charted by the airline, they flew directly towards Lebanon.
The countries along the way had already given instructions well in advance.
In peacetime, fighter jets flying abroad usually need to comply with international aviation regulations and may need to obtain permission from the countries they pass through.
However, specific reporting requirements may vary from country to country, and not all flights require advance reporting.
For example, some countries may restrict the flight areas of civilian drones, but this does not mean that all types of aircraft need to be registered.
However, large transport aircraft like theirs need to report their missions by following flight routes.
Of course, the two J-20s were escort fighters, and they were high-performance stealth fighters.
It flew stealthily, directly following the two 20-class aircraft on either side.
And so, after more than nine hours of flight.
We finally arrived in Lebanon.
"Attention all personnel, we are about to arrive over Lebanon airport."
Yuan Yi's words resounded directly in the earpieces of all the assault team members inside the cabin.
"Check the equipment."
"Obey my orders."
"No one may fire without my order."
"Do you understand?"
"clear."
"clear."
"clear."
At this moment, the captain of the Y-20 also began to report to Yuan Yi.
"Calling the earth dragon, arrive at the airport airspace immediately."
"Call airport staff to guide us to our landing."
Yuan Yi said to the captain.
"yes."
A few minutes later, Yuan Yi received another communication from the captain.
"Earth Dragon, no response to calls."
"They might not want us to land!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi frowned.
"How much longer can we hold on?"
They didn't refuel along the way; they'd already covered almost the maximum distance they could fly from Mom to here.
"I can hold on for another hour."
"clear."
Yuan Yi turned to look at the assault team members behind him.
"Zhang Dabing".
"arrive."
"Bring your men and jump with me."
"yes."
Zhang Dabing immediately led the eight team members behind him to prepare for the parachute jump.
Precision skydive from 10,000 meters altitude, high-altitude low-opening.
It is extremely demanding on skydiving skills, and they also need to guard against possible attacks from ground personnel.
Yuan Yi quickly took out his tablet and looked at the surrounding environment on it.
“There’s an open space five kilometers from the airport. Let’s jump there.”
"Then we'll launch a surprise attack on the airport."
"Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Zhou Zhikun walked up at that moment.
"I'll lead the team; you still need to give instructions."
Yuan Yi shook his head: "We don't know anything about the situation at the airport right now."
"I'm more confident going down."
After hearing Yuan Yi's words, Zhou Zhikun stopped trying to persuade him.
