Great Power Long Sky

Gu Ya returned to the Sky Seven.

She received the emergency order at around 4 a.m., and after carrying her simple luggage to the air force pilot's compound, she learned that the 7th Air Regiment had another accident.

As dawn broke, the investigation team departed from the capital aboard a Tu-154 passenger plane piloted by a special pilot.

The Tu-154 passenger plane landed at Donghai Airport at 9:00 a.m.

Gu Ya is a non-technical investigator responsible for questioning relevant personnel. She is one of the few psychological experts in the Air Force with medical qualifications. She graduated with a master's degree and was appointed as a lieutenant colonel upon taking up her post.

Highly educated individuals like her were extremely rare in the military during the 1990s.

The relevant units involved in the interception operation, including the Air Force of the Military Region, the East China Sea Command Post, the Yuanling Radar Station, and the 7th Air Regiment, have sent all the information to the East China Sea Station, and the investigation team immediately compiled it.

The situation is very clear.

Is it a cannon malfunction? What kind of malfunction?

Once these two questions are clarified, the investigation results can be obtained.

When Wang Yong, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force Command, arrived at the headquarters building, his first words were to ask the pilot involved to come and see him.

At this time, the leaders of the 3rd Air Division were still on their way. They were driving, and their speed was actually slower than that of the investigation team coming from the capital.

In the chief of staff's office, Wang Yong sat in Xu Hailiang's seat, looked up at the dozen or so leaders of various levels gathered in the room, and waved his hand, saying, "Fang Zhenwei and Xu Hailiang, stay. Everyone else, leave."

The other leaders quickly saluted and left the room.

Before long, Li Lu and Xue Shuang arrived.

"Reporting to the commander! Li Lu, acting squadron leader of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 7th Air Regiment and leader of the tactical test group, is reporting for duty!" Li Lu stood at attention and saluted without looking to the side.

Xue Shuang then reported, "Reporting, sir! Xue Shuang, pilot of the 6th Squadron, 2nd Group, 7th Air Regiment, and member of the tactical test team, reporting for duty!"

Wang Yong nodded and pointed to the chairs, "Sit down, everyone."

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Yong was wearing a Type 87 winter combat uniform. This chief of staff rarely wore civilian clothes when he went down to the troops, which shows that he was a leader with a very strong sense of combat.

He took off his cap and put it aside, then habitually touched his bald head.

"Tell me the whole story from beginning to end, Li Lu, you go first," Wang Yong asked bluntly.

Li Lu stood up. "Yes!"

"Reporting to the commander, at that time, my wingman Xue Shuang and I took off to carry out an interception and interception mission..."

Wang Yong interrupted, "Get to the point."

"Yes!" Li Lu said, "I adopted a head-on interception approach, pointing the nose of my aircraft at the target and keeping the altitude consistent with the target. When the distance was about five kilometers, the target began to turn right and descend at the same time."

"I maintained the heading and speed according to the operating procedures and continued to close in on the target. When the distance was reduced to one kilometer, the cannon on the right side of the fuselage suddenly opened fire."

"Before I realized what was happening and pulled up the nose, the distance had closed to 500 meters. I saw several shells hit the target's right wing. Then, I pulled up the nose to a 45-degree angle and maintained that position until I ran out of shells."

"Report complete!"

Wang Yong said, "Sit down."

"Yes!" Li Lu sat down, placed his hands on his knees, and kept his eyes straight ahead.

Wang Yong pointed at Xue Shuang, "Xue Shuang, you speak."

"Here! Yes!"

Xue Shuang was very nervous. The highest-ranking leader he had ever met was a senior officer who came to inspect the work while he was at flight school and wore an epaulette with an ear of wheat and two gold stars.

At this moment, the supreme leader with an ear of wheat and three gold stars was right in front of him, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Xue Shuang quickly organized his memories and reported to his superior, "Reporting to the commander, I was in the wingman's position when I saw the lead plane suddenly open fire. The lead plane reacted very quickly and immediately pulled the nose up."

"The situation was too sudden. Several shells hit the target's right flank, which I saw very clearly. At the same time, I heard the lead aircraft on the radio pointing east to report an emergency, saying that the cannon had malfunctioned and opened fire automatically."

At this point, Xue Shuang paused for a moment before continuing, "Subsequently, the East Command ordered me to track and monitor the target. After I caught up with it, I followed it for about 20 kilometers. The target gradually lost control and crashed into the sea. It was in the open sea area. The specific location has been reported to the East Command."

Wang Yong nodded, gesturing for Xue Shuang to sit down.

Immediately, Wang Yong's gaze fell on Li Lu's face, and he asked in a deep voice, "The investigation team has begun a technical investigation of J-6 No. 101. Li Lu, tell me honestly, was it a cannon malfunction?"

That's why he kicked everyone else out.

Li Lu opened his mouth, looking aggrieved, and said, "Uncle Wang, you suspect I fired the shot? I swear to God..."

Wang Yong's face darkened. "It's working hours now!"

Li Lu immediately became serious and said, "Sir! I absolutely did not touch the firing switch; the firing safety was off at the time!"

At this moment, Fang Zhenwei's expression became somewhat strange, and his gaze towards Li Lu held a more intriguing quality.

Uncle Wang?

Wang Yong said seriously, "If you fired the cannon, it's not too late to say it now, but by the time the investigation results are out, it will be too late to regret it."

It wasn't that he didn't trust Li Lu; it was that he knew Li Lu too well.

There's nothing this kid wouldn't dare to do!

Adding to the Chen Hai incident, it's obvious to anyone that Li Lu is holding a grudge.

Li Lu declared emphatically, "Sir, I guarantee everything I've said is true. Check it out if you want!"

Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Okay, I believe you. You can go back now, Li Lu stays. Political Commissar Fang, have Comrade Gu Ya from the investigation team come here."

"yes!"

Li Lu's eyes darted around, and he stood up and said, "Well, sir, I'll head back first too."

Wang Yong glared and said, "I'm telling you to stay!"

"Yes..." Li Lu shrank his neck.

After leaving the office and walking down the corridor, Fang Zhenwei asked Xu Hailiang in a low voice, "Old Xu, Li Lu called Chief of Staff Uncle Wang... What's their relationship? Did you already know?"

Xue Shuang, who was behind, perked up her ears.

Xu Hailiang said, "I'm not quite sure, you can ask Li Lu later."

"Forget it, I don't care about these things," Fang Zhenwei said, shaking his head.

Why are you asking if I don't care?

In the office, Wang Yong smiled, transforming from a commanding leader into a kind elder.

"Hey Xiao Liu, I'll introduce you to a girl later. She's amazing! She has a master's degree, a great personality, and is beautiful. Although she's three years older than you, as the saying goes, 'A woman three years older brings good fortune'..."

Li Lu said impatiently, "Why do you, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, always try to matchmake people? I'm begging you, can't you do something productive?"

Wang Yong glared at him and said, "Isn't this a matter of personal safety? Listen to me carefully, when the person arrives, you can have a good chat. If you cause any more trouble, you can get back to the capital."

"Tch, you think you can scare me?" Li Lu wasn't intimidated at all. "If you dare transfer me back, I'll report you! I'll say you're abusing your power, that you, the chief of staff, are picking on lower-ranking officers!"

Wang Yongqi was furious. He pointed at Li Lu and cursed, "Hey, you son of a bitch, you've got guts now, huh? I refuse to believe I can't teach you a lesson..."

"Report!"

Outside the door, Gu Ya stood still, saluted, and reported.

Wang Yong quickly composed himself, put on a smile, and said, "Comrade Gu Ya is here. Please come in."
