Chapter 62

Me?!

Chen Fei suddenly felt nervous for no reason and hurriedly jogged over.

As soon as he arrived, he saw that the "Zhenxiang" combat flight squadron was already fully assembled, with the gathering speed more than twice as fast as usual. This was probably due to the new executive manager, Hana Gager, deliberately causing an incident, which turned out to be a fortunate event, right?

"Rookie, come over quickly!"

"Stand over here!"

Several veteran pilots waved at Chen Fei, pulling him into the formation and lining him up with the others in two rows.

"What's going on?"

Chen Fei looked up at the hangar ceiling; the yellow lights were still flashing, but there was no alarm sound.

"Vanilla" Carlos Sliwa Lane, who was standing next to Chen Fei, whispered, "Don't panic, it's not like last time. It's a level two combat readiness."

Level one combat readiness involves an emergency takeoff to intercept the enemy, level two involves a proactive attack, and level three involves being on standby to take off at any time.

Not just the 911 Aircrew Base, but many aircrew bases follow such standard procedures to respond to different situations.

At this moment, Big Bear Chekov arrived, and the deputy squadron leader "Devil Pepper" Ilyana Rousius loudly reported, "Report to Lieutenant Colonel Chekov, the 'Zhenxiang' combat squadron is fully assembled, with 17 members present out of 17 expected!"

This time, Lieutenant Colonel Chekov Leonidovich Ivanov didn't drink to the point of being superhuman. His hair was messy, his beard unshaven, and he even had dark circles under his eyes. After standing in front of the two rows of pilots, he cleared his throat and said, "Mission objective: 897 Aircrew Base; combat plan: full low-altitude assault, withdraw from combat within two minutes, do not engage the enemy, refuel at 909 Aircrew Base on the return trip; tactical goal: destroy all ground targets; weapon configuration: 500 kg cluster incendiary bombs, anti-radiation missiles, optional 250 kg high-explosive bombs, 250 kg fuel-air explosives, and 100 kg stink bombs. Also, mount auxiliary fuel tanks. If you need to use the bathroom, go now, put on adult diapers, and we'll depart in ten minutes. Got it?"

"Got it!" x16

Chen Fei: "..."

Wasn't it supposed to be fighting monsters, but now we're going to raid someone else's territory? Is this really a good idea?

And we have to wear diapers???

Deputy squadron leader "Devil Pepper" Ilyana Rousius asked straightforwardly, "Chekov, are we preparing for a corporate war?"

It was highly unusual for one aircrew base to target another. The purpose of aircrew bases was to monitor and control the areas with few people, where latent mutants and out-of-control interdimensional creatures might be found. However, mutual attacks were extremely rare, indicating a deep-seated grudge that had escalated to a life-or-death situation.

"No, just a warning!"

As the direct person in charge of the main combat force of the 911 Aircrew Base, Chekov was the first to know the combat plan and had also learned the tactical objectives.

However, today's combat order came from the headquarters of the Apocalypse Defense Group.

"Warning? Did 897 Base provoke us?"

Ilyana Rousius found it hard to understand.

From a numerical standpoint, 897 Aircrew Base was not near 911 Aircrew Base, not even a neighbor. There were probably at least one or two aircrew bases in between, which is why they needed to refuel at another base on the return trip, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to fly back.

"That's right, they provoked us, so we need to give them a serious lesson!"

Chekov, who knew the reason, nodded but didn't elaborate further.

Turning to Chen Fei, who was still standing there in a daze, he waved and said, "Rookie, you'll be with me, on aircraft 211, don't get lost!"

"Rookie" Chen Fei was Big Bear's new partner. Although he couldn't fly independently, he was more than capable as a fire control officer.

A slight tremble of his hand, and the dragon momo da (a playful phrase indicating his skill in controlling the fire control system).

Such a fire control officer, who wouldn't want?

"I got it!"

Chen Fei took off running towards the hangar exit.

Chekov saw that Chen Fei wasn't heading to the toilet inside the hangar and quickly asked, "Hey, where are you going?"

"Finding someone to take care of Little Chirp."

Chen Fei didn't even turn his head.

Chef Abel was resting, so the only person he could entrust was the Neanderthal old man Barut, who was guarding the energy tower.

The steel-framed shed where the Target Low-Temperature Fusion Energy Tower was located was almost like a small garden, perfect for a little bird to spend the whole day, with food and drink available, so there was no need to worry.

"Alright, I was going to say the same thing!"

Chekov scratched the back of his head.

He had originally planned to remind Chen Fei to keep his bird away from the turboprop aircraft on standby.

If the bird got hit by the high-speed rotating propeller, it would be gone in an instant, and the propeller would need to be inspected to determine if it could still fly, a result that would be no different from mutual destruction.

Ten minutes later, everyone boarded the aircraft.

Five A-39B "Big Mouth" light turboprop attack aircraft, fully loaded with fuel and ground-attack munitions, one after another slid onto the main runway, accelerated for over 300 meters, and then took off into the sky.

In the 1st hangar, the "Big Mouth" with the empty paint number "216" was left behind: Wait for me... (╥﹏╥)

If it weren't for the fact that the maintenance chief Xiao Ming was using it to let Chen Fei play with, it would have also been fully armed and ready to go.

Without the aircraft, the two pilots had to stay behind as the reserve team.

If anything happened to the five "Big Mouths" on the mission, they would be the last line of air defense for the 911 Aircrew Base.

While Chen Fei, sitting in the rear seat of aircraft 211, was leisurely programming the weapons, he casually asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Chekov, is the 897 Aircrew Base the mastermind behind the armed personnel from the other day?"

The 911 Aircrew Base wouldn't launch an attack on another aircrew base without a good reason. The sudden combat mission implied that there was likely a hidden agenda.

"Call me 'Peanut Butter' when we're in the aircraft, got it, Rookie?"

The Big Bear in the front seat waved his fist, warning fiercely.

The little Rookie in the rear seat immediately trembled.

"Got it, 'Peanut Butter'!"

"Rookie, you guessed right. The one-eyed woman caught a live one. Those fools even brought a sedative, gave him a shot, and he spilled everything, hahaha. Can these guys be any more unprofessional? Are they serious?"

The Big Bear laughed so hard that the turboprop aircraft was slightly shaking.

Being spied on and having employees captured, even though the armed personnel were wiped out before they could reveal anything, it was still a wasted effort. However, this didn't mean that the 911 Aircrew Base's superior, the Apocalypse Defense Group, would let it go easily.

With a weapon in hand, the desire to kill arises.

If they didn't give the other side a taste of their power, would the Apocalypse Defense Group, which was in the business of military contracting, be seen as a charity? The combat order was directly issued to the 911 Aircrew Base, with a no-holds-barred approach: fight!

The young Chen Fei weakly reminded, "'Peanut Butter,' the communication channel is still open!"

"Uh..."

The overjoyed Chekov suddenly felt as if he had swallowed a fly, and said irritably, "Why didn't you remind me?"

Once he lost his composure, the Big Bear had no qualms about anything.

Chen Fei rolled his eyes.

How could he remind him?

Once the aircraft took off, the communication channel was open, and it couldn't be turned off at will. The high-level permissions were all with the ground control tower!

"The one-eyed woman is listening..."

Everyone's ears rang with the cold, emotionless voice of the executive manager, Hana Gager. She was daring the Big Bear to continue.

The "Zhenxiang" combat flight squadron fell silent, as the squadron leader's reckless talk was heard by more than just one person.

Chekov: ...

He didn't even know that this woman was a wind-element ability user, and being beaten into the ground would be the lightest punishment.

The previous executive manager, Morris Morgan, couldn't do much to the Big Bear, but this internal affairs inspector from headquarters was not a soft-hearted person. She was a tough woman who had single-handedly entered a cave to save people.

"Manager Hana, 'Peanut Butter' didn't mean it, he just talks too much."

The wingman pilot "Devil Pepper" Ilyana Rousius quickly spoke up for the Big Bear.

Chen Fei, behind the Big Bear, gleefully made a 666 gesture.

You can do it, sir. Please continue your performance, don't bow to evil forces, even if a thousand people stand against you, you must go forward.

As long as the Big Bear Chekov gets a beating, Chen Fei will never tire of watching.
