Chapter 496 Aerial Reconnaissance

Because the enemy was in an urgent situation, Wang Zhong did what he said.

Of course, another reason is that he is afraid that Pavlov will change his mind and object.

Although it is not impossible for Wang Zhong, as the commander of the front army, to have his own way, he has cooperated with the old Pavlov for so long and is a truly close comrade-in-arms, so he still needs to be given face.

Half an hour later, Wang Zhong, who had changed into new pants and leather shoes, appeared at Abawahan Airport.

As soon as they reached the tarmac, a jeep with the Air Force logo came speeding from a distance and braked suddenly in front of Wang Zhong.

Gregory protected Wang Zhong in time, blocking the jeep with his body and holding the thread cutting machine ready to fire.

The commander of the aviation force attached to the front army jumped out of the jeep, tidied up his military appearance, and then stood at attention and saluted: "General! You can't go to the sky. Now that the Proson Air Force is frequently dispatched, we can't bear the risk of losing you!"

Wang Zhong introduced Emilia beside him to the commander of the aviation force: "This is Miss Emilia, the ace pilot of the United Kingdom. She has been fighting with the Proscenians for three years..."

"Four years." Emilia corrected, "I have been fighting Proson since Melania was invaded. At that time, I was in the Expeditionary Force Air Force. Although the ground was fighting quietly, the air was still fighting. fiery."

Wang Zhong: "Look, she has been fighting with the Prossens for four years, and she has not been hit by the Prossins' fire once! She will definitely be able to bring me back unscathed!"

The air force commander had a sullen face and looked very embarrassed.

At this time, Colonel Corionen of the 11th Destroyer Regiment ran over, followed by two major pilots wearing gold stars. He first saluted Wang Zhong, and then said eagerly: "General, the air is really chaotic now. The enemy We all know about the attempt to assassinate you!”

Wang Zhong: "If it were you, would you send a six-engine heavy bomber to assassinate the enemy's senior general?"

Colonel Corionen was stunned: "Huh? Huh? Six rounds? I remember that Proson's heavy bombardment was not too fast, right? It shouldn't be able to catch up with the C47! This... is not reasonable!"

Wang Zhong: "Right? We just ran into enemy bombers, and in the end we were shot down by friendly fire."

Corionin was shocked: "Who is so bold? They must be the remnants of the Quick Victory Faction and the remnants of the Surrender Faction. They should all be killed!"

Wang Zhong: "I believe it was an accidental attack. Anyway, I need to conduct aerial reconnaissance myself and drag the Pei 3 in the best condition out of the hangar immediately!"

Colonel Corionen waved his hand: "We sent the second squadron with the highest results to escort!"

Wang Zhong pressed down the hand he had just waved out: "Don't be like this. One Pei-3 followed by 12 MiG-3 escorts, this is too ostentatious."

One of the two young men behind Colonel Corionen took a step forward: "Okay, let's pretend to perform an air superiority patrol mission and set up eight loose two-plane formations above the reconnaissance aircraft. In this way, no matter where the enemy attacks from, we can They can quickly rush down to cover.”

Wang Zhong thought about it and felt that there was no harm in being a little safer. He really didn't want to imitate some admiral who had a good life.

So he nodded in agreement.

Corionin was overjoyed and turned around and ordered: "Second Squadron, prepare for attack immediately and take off with the general!"

At this time, the commander of the aviation force said loudly: "General! You haven't convinced me yet! Just let ordinary pilots do things like taking photos. Why do you take such risks?"

Wang Zhong: "You will know when I come back, Air Force Commander Dawalishi."

Emilia said from the side: "He is different, he and I both have the ability to sense. I am too clear, I can feel where the enemy is!"

Well, with the witch by your side, many things will be easier to explain!

The commander of the aviation force hesitated for a few seconds, finally got out of the way, and ordered: "Drive out the Pei-3 that is in the best condition. However, Miss Amelia, you have not received training in driving the Pei-3, can you really drive it?"

Wang Zhong thought to himself, Commander, you don’t understand this. It’s the first time a new human enters the cockpit of a Gundam and he can drive that thing to beat up professional soldiers with dozens of times his experience. This is the gold content of the new human!

Emilia said proudly: "Don't worry, I can learn all aircrafts at a glance!"

The commander of the aviation force seemed to be completely convinced at last, and took a few steps back with a worried look. Corionin reassured him: "With our second squadron, the Prossenians will not succeed, and the general will be safe." Come back, and then use the detected intelligence to count the Prossen people.”

While talking, a group of ground staff pushed a Pei 3 in front of Wang Zhong.

The logo on the tail of the plane indicates that it belongs to the 3rd Air Reconnaissance Group, and there is also a line of Ant language written on the fuselage: For my brother Pietro!

It seems that the younger brother of the crew member died under the iron heel of Prosen.

Wang Zhong: "Where is the original pilot of the plane? I want to meet him and tell him that I asked Amelia to fly, not because I don't trust his ability."

The commander of the aviation force looked embarrassed: "He was shot through the shoulder by an enemy bullet. He used his last willpower to drive the plane back. He is in the hospital. The reason why the plane is in good condition is because there is no pilot. It has been thrown on the ground, and the ground staff have taken care of it." It is used as a training aircraft for new people.”

Wang Zhong: "That's it. Then give him a bouquet of flowers for me in the hospital."

Amelia had already walked to the plane first, and Wang Zhong hurriedly followed. The girl actually gasped when she climbed up the boarding ladder and saw the dashboard in the cabin.

But that didn't stop her from getting into the cockpit.

Wang Zhong also climbed up the ladder and sat in the observer's cabin.

To be honest, the cabin was a bit crowded for Wang Zhong, probably because the design of the Pei 3 adhered to the consistent ergonomic principle of Ant, sacrificing space for performance.

Emilia in the front seat cried out: "What's wrong with your seat belt? I can't buckle it!"

It seems that the front armor is too thick.

With a "click", Emilia let out a long breath, and then began to read the words on the instrument panel: "Airspeed indicator, barometer..."

She read it like a menu.

About fifteen minutes later, Emilia said: "I roughly understand how to fly this plane, let's go!"

Without waiting for Wang Zhong to reply, she raised her arm and issued a "start" command.

So the ground crew holding the propeller began to push the propeller hard.

After pushing it several times in a row, the propeller speed began to increase, and the engine exhaust pipe also spewed out thick smoke, and there were a few sparks flying.

The roar of the engine hit Wang Zhong's eardrum.

The ground crew removed the boarding ladder, gathered at the tail end of the wing, and pushed the plane to the takeoff runway.

The 12 MiG-3s of the 2nd Squadron of the 11th Fighter Regiment also started their engines, and the propellers began to rotate.

However, these MiG-3s were capable of taxiing on their own. They followed the Pe-3 pushed by everyone and entered the takeoff runway one by one.

Wang Zhong glanced at the back and thought that he would just take off like an elephant walking.

At this time, Emilia looked back at Wang Zhong: "Wear headphones, I called you for a long time, but you didn't respond!"

Wang Zhong then took the headphones and put them on his head. The tower's Angsa language communication just drilled into his ears, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it.

Emilia replied in Ant language: "Understood, I'm going to take off now."

The roar of the Pe-3 engine immediately intensified, and Wang Zhong was also pressed on the chair by an invisible big hand.

From a bird's-eye view, you can see that the Pe-3 that Wang Zhong was riding was accelerating rapidly and then soaring into the sky.

Wang Zhong was pressed tightly on the seat.

Emilia's voice came from the headset: "You are responsible for guiding me on how to fly. You hold the map board, right?"

Wang Zhong raised the map board in his hand and shook it at her.

"Then you guide me, and we will do a good reconnaissance. Oh, by the way, remember to take pictures!"

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry!"

After saying this, he lowered his head to observe the map - in fact, he switched to a bird's-eye view, and then he issued the first instruction for this flight: "Head northwest by north, full speed!"

"Okay!" Emilia shouted.

————

Thirty-five minutes after takeoff, Wang Zhong highlighted the first transfer station. The highlighted Proson people were busy under the camouflage net. When he got closer, he could see the piled-up supplies through the camouflage net, including canned beer and cigarettes, as well as low-temperature engine oil and winter clothes.

So Wang Zhong compared the bird's-eye view with the map in his hand, found the exact coordinates, and then marked a transfer station sign with a pencil.

Damn, this is much simpler than I thought.

The most interesting thing is that the Proson people may think that the hidden transfer station does not need anti-aircraft artillery, and setting up anti-aircraft positions will increase the risk of exposure, so they really did not set up anti-aircraft positions!

Without anti-aircraft positions, it means that the Ante Air Force can blow up these supply stations easily!

Wang Zhongan suppressed his joy and pressed the camera button several times, and then issued a new heading instruction.

Emilia turned the plane while asking: "Why, did you find the enemy supply station?"

Wang Zhong: "Yes, I found it. Now follow the new heading, maybe we can "light up" all the important supply centers along the enemy's transportation lines!"

Emilia: "Is that so? It's good to be useful! I said you are a witch like me."

Wang Zhong deliberately ignored Emilia's words, and at the same time neatly marked the maintenance station where the Proson people repaired the truck.

————

After a few hours of flight, Wang Zhong just got off the plane and stuffed the map with the Plossen supply nodes in his hand into the hands of the Air Force Commander: "Look at this."

The commander's eyes widened: "What?"

Wang Zhong: "I took photos of each mark point. After the development, I will mark the locations of these targets in detail. By the way, these targets are not protected by anti-aircraft guns. The Plossen people seem to think that camouflage is the best protection!"

Air Force Commander: "I will immediately organize a meeting of pilots from all bomber units of our army to assign air strike targets!"

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry! Wait for the reconnaissance planes of other units to take more photos, and then let the pilots of each unit familiarize themselves with the route, and then go out in one go and blow up all the targets before the enemy reacts!"

Emilia: "You can also airdrop the Commander first and let them be responsible for target guidance on the ground."

Wang Zhong slapped his thigh: "Okay! That's it!"
