Great Power Long Sky

After the winter morning sun fully shines through, it quickly dispels the mountain mist, and the occasional breeze is cool and refreshing, without the biting chill of the early morning.

In the woods halfway up the mountain, a large tree grows diagonally out from the edge of the cliff, with part of it reaching above the bottom of the cliff.

Li Lu hung on the branch, swaying gently in the breeze.

The parachute rope was about six or seven meters long. One end was attached to the parachute and fastened to a branch, while the other end was attached to Li Lu. Li Lu was standing on the bottom of a cliff, which looked to be more than ten meters high.

Several times, Li Lu considered untying his parachute. There were many trees at the bottom of the cliff to cushion the fall, and he was afraid he wouldn't die from the height of more than ten meters. But he was also afraid of getting his face scratched.

With no other option, he laboriously pulled out the pistol and magazine from his waist, changed into them with difficulty, and fired a shot into the sky.

Gunshots echoed through the mountains.

We can only wait for rescue; hopefully, the troops will find us as soon as possible.

The plane was flying perfectly fine, and I was preparing to perform a maneuver to avoid a stall when suddenly, the entire plane disappeared, except for the ejection seat.

Without an explosion or external attack, the plane instantly returned to its pre-assembly state, a process so short that Li Lu couldn't even react.

He only felt the scene before him suddenly shake violently, and then everything went black. The process of regaining his vision took no more than three seconds. He and the ejection seat had already separated from the plane. He wasn't ejected, because the ejection seat didn't work; rather, other parts of the fuselage suddenly separated at the same time...

Not to mention Xu Hailiang, Deputy Division Commander Feng, and others who witnessed this scene from the air or from the control tower, even Li Lu, who experienced it firsthand, could not believe it for a long time.

Even if the J-6 is outdated, it is still a swept-wing supersonic fighter jet, and its airframe structure is strong enough to withstand the air pressure and drag of supersonic flight.

How could it disintegrate so easily in mid-air?

Li Lu personally felt that the overload was not large when the deceleration maneuver was performed, so it didn't make sense that the aircraft disintegrated.

Each aircraft is typically designed with redundancy. For example, if you design a maximum speed of 1280 kilometers per hour, the aircraft can actually fly at 1380 kilometers per hour, and the airframe structure can still withstand it.

Take the J-6 for example. Its maximum service ceiling was designed to be 17500-17900 meters. However, in 1965, the People's Liberation Army Air Force created the "leap attack" tactic and shot down a US unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in airspace above 18000 meters.

This case study is the most obvious example of the redundancy in fighter jet design.

歼-6的设计最大飞行速度是1490公里每小时，也就是约1.22马赫（1马赫约等于1225公里每小时）。

However, in actual combat, the J-6 flew at a top speed of nearly 1600 kilometers per hour.

Moreover, the aircraft that participated in these combat operations have continued to be used without any issues affecting the structural strength of the fuselage.

Many people don't know that the J-6 is the most numerous aircraft type in the People's Liberation Army Air Force, without exception, and it is also the aircraft type with the greatest combat results and zero self-damage, without exception!

The kill ratio of the J-6 is over 0 to 23!

They suffered no losses themselves, but shot down or damaged more than 23 enemy aircraft!

Such a combat record is extremely rare among active-duty fighter jets worldwide.

If Li Lu didn't know the details of the J-6, would he have made that deceleration maneuver?

It's important to know that today is the first day that the high-altitude differential walking training has been cancelled.

He was well aware that if something went wrong during today's training, the experiment to cancel the height difference training would most likely be called off.

Under these circumstances, Li Lu, as the person in charge of overseeing the cancellation of altitude difference air combat training, would absolutely not take any risks.

He did just that; in just a few seconds, he was able to regain control of his fighter jet and fly at level speed. At that moment, he gained a superior position and had the opportunity to pursue and attack Zhang Fei.

His goal was to turn the tide in one fell swoop.

He never even considered pushing the limits of the J-6.

But Lao Liu suddenly left him, like a heartless woman and a merciless rain, giving him no time to react.

Even now, recalling those few short seconds, he is still filled with lingering fear and almost wet his pants.

When the ejection seat dropped to a height of less than 500 meters, it was actually only about 200 meters away from the mountain, which had an altitude of nearly 300 meters.

As he faced the prospect of sacrificing his life along with the ejection seat for the cause of training and reform of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, Li Lu remained calm and his heart rate barely changed.

He persisted in repeatedly pulling the ejection handle, refusing to give up.

Finally, at a height of more than 50 meters above the trees, he separated from the seat, and a fraction of a second later, the parachute opened successfully.

Fortunately, a mountain breeze blew by, which greatly accelerated the deployment of the parachute.

But Li Lu didn't have time to adjust his landing position. He crashed into the canopy of the big tree, passed through the canopy, and was about to fall off the cliff when his parachute got stuck by the haphazard branches.

That's how they managed to keep him hanging.

In just a few seconds, at the critical moment, luck was on Li Lu's side.

There was a constant sound of aircraft engines in the sky. Li Lu knew that Xu Hailiang and Zhao Chaoyang's JJ-6 trainer jets were definitely searching for the location where he had crashed, and Zhang Fei would also be involved.

If it were someone else, they might subconsciously shout "I'm here! I'm here!" to the sky. Li Lu didn't have that subconscious reaction. Conserving energy and stamina was the best strategy. This place was so remote, with only primeval forests as far as the eye could see. The army might not be able to find them for a long time.

Li Lu hoped that the gunshots would attract the attention of nearby residents, if there were any nearby residents.

After waiting for about five minutes, Li Lu fired another shot into the air.

The Type 54 pistol has an eight-round magazine, so Li Lu has to use it sparingly. If he encounters wild animals like leopards, this gun will be his only weapon.

It seems that Li Lu is experiencing a series of good fortunes.

When he fired the first shot, a girl picking yams a few hundred meters away heard it. She thought it was firecrackers going off somewhere and didn't take it seriously.

After the second gunshot, the girl realized something was wrong.

She participated in militia training every year and was a member of the village's maritime women's militia company. The second time she heard it, she heard it very clearly; it didn't sound like firecrackers.

She straightened up and looked in the direction the sound came from, but the woods were so dense that she couldn't see anything.

Based on the second sound, she suspected it was gunfire, and her first thought was that enemy agents might have infiltrated to do bad things.

The island is just across the sea. Although enemy agents rarely infiltrate now, we cannot rule out the possibility.

Furthermore, apart from the occasional people from a few nearby villages who come to dig for medicinal herbs, no one else comes to this mountain, and outsiders can't even find their way here.

She was wondering whether she should go back to the village to report when suddenly another gunshot rang out.

This time, she heard it clearly, one hundred percent gunshots, and she was also certain of the direction.

She immediately decided to find out the situation before returning to the village to report.

With that touch, I found Li Lu.
