Chapter Seven, Kuo Ri Du Bu

Kuo Ridu is very uneasy about Andrei; this time, with the first-level combat readiness, it is even easier for things to go awry. It would be better not to let Andrei participate.

What is going on this time? Kuo Ridu asked

Americans would certainly not be willing to accept that this electronic reconnaissance aircraft made an emergency landing on their side; they would undoubtedly blame it on a malicious collision with a Soviet aircraft! This could even lead to large-scale exchanges of fire

Base Commander Kueridubu is now forty years old. During World War II, he was just a young child. He graduated from flight school at the age of twenty and has been at this base since he first piloted the MiG-15 fighter jet. Five years ago, he was promoted to the commander of this base, and he has remained here ever since

Such a significant matter, of course, Kuo Ridu would not conceal it. Upon receiving the report from the control tower, he immediately reported it to his superiors, and then saw the American plane making an emergency landing in the control tower. Now, a large number of electronic experts are on their way to the Sokolovka base, which is also poised to become a powder keg, ready to ignite at any moment.

In order to counter the encirclement led by the United States and NATO, the Soviet Union developed a vast military strength. The southern part of the Primorsky Krai is home to Vladivostok, the most important port city in the Soviet Far East. It is an excellent harbor and is the base for the main force of the Soviet Far East Navy, the Pacific Fleet

"Andrei, your aircraft has suffered a collision and previously experienced a stall spin; it must undergo maintenance. Belenko, your aircraft's engine is approaching its overhaul period, and it is time to replace the engine." Koridub said, "For this level of combat readiness, you will not need to participate."

Where else could it be like now, that a collision actually occurred with an American aircraft! Moreover, the American aircraft even made an emergency landing at our base!

Khorodub, the ace pilot of the Soviet Union, participated in combat in March 1943 and witnessed the defeat and surrender of Germany in May 1945. During this period, he took part in 120 aerial battles and shot down 62 enemy aircraft, making him the top ace of the Soviet Union

However, this time the task was completed in an utterly outrageous manner! In the office on one side of the base command tower, Base Commander Kouridub-Doglayev gazed at the American EP-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft that had made an emergency landing in the grass far away on the base runway, and then looked at the two MiG-25 aircraft that had just landed, his eyes filled with impatience

The Sokolovka base located in the northern town of Qiuguyefka is home to the Soviet Air Defense Forces 513th Regiment, equipped entirely with the latest Soviet MiG-25 interceptors. In the event of war, these interceptors will be the first to be deployed for combat. Currently, missions such as intercepting the American EP-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft are completely routine tasks for the Sokolovka base

"Damn it, my plane is perfectly fine, it just needs a little welding. What is going on with the commander?" Andre complained

"Andrei, do you still not know the commander's personality?" said Belyanko. "Just think about how you will write your flight report. However, what you did today was truly exhilarating."

Unfortunately, this is not the base commander Kordub, it is merely a name that is the same.

"Come in," Kuo Ridu shouted, his gaze fixed on the doorway as two pilots, who had just disembarked from the plane and had not yet removed their flight suits, entered while carrying their helmets.

After all, in this interception operation, Belyankov is the lead aircraft, and he is still the acting squadron leader of this aviation unit

"The superior has already issued instructions; the entire base is to enter a state of Level 1 combat readiness," said Kuo Ridu.

Report. At that moment, a sound came from outside

As the Far East region of the Soviet Union, it is separated by the Sea of Japan, with Japan's Hokkaido directly opposite and Honshu to the southeast. During this Cold War period, it undoubtedly represents the front line, where conflicts could erupt at any moment, transforming the Cold War into a hot war

Arrogant, haughty, with a tendency towards violence, and self-righteous, when someone hears his name and immediately associates it with that ace air combat hero, he cannot deny it and enjoys the feeling of being admired. Perhaps this is a trait common to all leaders of this era, however, he is relatively considerate towards his subordinates, especially those who are fond of flattering him.

Andrei still wanted to volunteer for the battle, but was tapped by Belyenko, who took him outside

The gentle breezes of the Pacific flow into the coastal border region, which belongs to a temperate maritime climate. Aside from being somewhat humid, it is extremely suitable for human habitation, with dense forests everywhere and the air we breathe being refreshingly pure. There is no harsh cold found on the vast lands of the Soviet Union, only a similar tension that existed during the Cold War.

"Yes, then we will immediately enter a state of first-level readiness," said Andrei

It is merely about intercepting an American reconnaissance aircraft! Generally speaking, our aircraft would approach, establish a radar lock, and conduct escort missions, which would typically prompt the Americans to retreat. During the Korean War, pilot Guo Ridu drove a MiG-15 and successfully intercepted American aircraft multiple times. Although it was perilous, there was never an instance of gunfire exchanged.

"The report states that during the interception, the American pilot deliberately approached our aircraft, which led to the occurrence of this collision." Without waiting for Andrei to speak, Berezhenko had already made his statement

"Report, the American reconnaissance aircraft has landed here, and the Americans may take action. We must be prepared for defense," said Andrei. "They may send a large fleet to apply pressure on us"

It turns out that it was initiated by the Americans! Kuo Ridu had already formulated a plan in his mind, and this report must be written accordingly! It is all the result of the Americans' deliberate provocation! If a serious conflict were to break out as a result, it would have nothing to do with him!

Andrei was somewhat surprised by this reply from Belyanko; this guy was quite clever after all

During the last visit to Moscow, through various operations, he has already received special attention from higher authorities. As long as no major incidents occur, after a few more months, there will be vacancies in the Moscow Air Defense Command, and he will be promoted to Moscow. However, now, being intercepted one after another has caused a significant problem!
