Chapter 1: Crossing Over
The leading second lieutenant officer is also carrying a southern-style bag, commonly referred to as a "tortoise box".
The dispatcher called repeatedly, but the only response he received was the cold rustling sound.
Where has he arrived at
"Eagle's Nest calling Vulture, Eagle's Nest calling Vulture, Eagle's Nest calling Vulture, please respond if you receive this, please respond if you receive this." An anxious female voice came through the headset
What is going on? What is this all about?
When Xu Rui opened his eyes again, the scene outside the cabin left him dumbfounded
Despite wearing specially designed goggles, Xu Rui instinctively closed his eyes
Call the Vulture
Do not move!" Accompanied by a stern voice, a cold hard object was pressed against Xu Rui's neck.
I do not know what year and month it is now, nor on which battlefield I am
As an outstanding student of the Command Department at Nanjing Military Academy, Xu Rui has systematically studied firearms, how could he possibly be unaware of the standard weapons used by the Japanese during World War II
Xu Rui felt a stir in his heart and immediately cursed in Japanese: "Baka, you four-country pig."
Please respond upon hearing this
It was not until his line of sight was completely obscured by the rising dust and smoke that Xu Rui suddenly awoke to the realization that he was about to crash
Having finished speaking, Xu Rui turned off the communication system
In the blink of an eye, Xu Rui unexpectedly saw about twenty Nationalist soldiers squatting not far away. They were identified as Nationalist soldiers because they all wore caps adorned with the blue and white sun emblem, and their uniforms were the classic khaki fabric. Each of these soldiers bore injuries and were unarmed, clearly having been captured by the little devils.
Due to insufficient ejection height, the main parachute did not open fully, resulting in a still rapid descent speed
Could it be that the time-space tunnel brought him back to the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War
What appeared outside the cabin was a world Xu Rui had never seen before, devoid of land, oceans, and even the sky, only an endless darkness, occasionally pierced by eerie blue lights flashing past from outside the cabin. For no apparent reason, a thought suddenly sprang to Xu Rui's mind: Damn it, could we be entering a time-space tunnel?
Moreover, there was more than one person on the other side; Xu Rui could hear the breathing of six or seven individuals
The fuel of the aircraft has finally run out, and the onboard power supply is also about to be depleted
Call the Vulture
Eight hundred kilometers away, an Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft, the KJ-2000, is circling in the sky
At that moment, Xu Rui suddenly heard the sound of the gun bolt being pulled back, "ka-cha, ka-cha".
To be more precise, this ink wash landscape is burning amidst the flames of war
The first thing that appeared in Xu Rui's vision was a vast lake, its waters as clear as washed silk, with islands scattered throughout. In the northeast corner of the lake was a large market town, featuring deep courtyards, white walls, black tiles, and waterside residences. The entire scene was breathtakingly beautiful, resembling a grand ink wash painting of mountains and water, ancient yet enduring.
From time to time, the streaks of shells would cut across the sky, followed by a dazzling red light rising from the town, and then a massive cloud of smoke would surge into the air
His aircraft was violently rolling in the air, all the electronic displays in the cabin turned white, all the warning lights were flashing incessantly, and the various instruments emitted a continuous beeping alarm that filled his eardrums. Moreover, no matter how hard Xu Rui tried to control the plane, the fighter jet remained completely unresponsive
Just as Xu Rui thought he was certain to die, a blinding white light suddenly appeared ahead.
Upon hearing this, Xu Rui's heart suddenly sank. Based on the cold texture, Xu Rui could determine that it was definitely a gun, and moreover, a rifle
If the vulture can successfully return to base, this exercise will indeed be a great success, and I am sure the military of Country A will be extremely frustrated
Is there actually a war happening here
Isn't it just the left engine ingesting foreign objects and parking at high altitude
Call the Vulture
Please respond upon hearing this
Seeing this group of Nationalist soldiers with expressions of grief and indignation, Xu Rui became increasingly certain that he had traveled through time.
Even if Xu Rui is exceptionally skilled, it is impossible for him to eliminate six or seven people in an instant; human strength has its limits
However, in the next moment, the cheers in the command and dispatch cabin abruptly ceased, as if cut off by a knife, coming to a sudden halt. On the display screen, the red dot representing the Bald Eagle suddenly vanished
Xu Rui also noticed that the firearms in the hands of these soldiers were very well maintained, and the bayonets were polished to a shine, clearly indicating that they were genuine weapons and not props. From this, one can conclude that this is definitely not a film crew shooting a patriotic war drama; this group of people is undoubtedly soldiers who are as real as they can be.
Moments later, Xu Rui's body had nearly regained sensation, but he did not act rashly. Having a gun pressed against the back of his neck was no trivial matter; the other party only needed to gently curl their finger, and a searing bullet could pierce through his brainstem. If the brainstem were pierced, even a deity would perish
"I am sorry, but I cannot comply with your request." Xu Rui, however, revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "I will return safely with the vulture, that is all."
However, what weighed more heavily on Xu Rui's mind was that the other party was speaking in Japanese
Subsequently, Xu Rui forcefully pulled back the control stick, and the WS-15 engine instantly surged to full power, propelling Xu Rui's aircraft like a sword slicing through the sea and piercing into the sky
Xu Rui abandoned the futile manipulation and looked up at the outside of the cockpit. The cockpit is an integrated design, providing excellent visibility
"Vulture, vulture, your flight altitude has exceeded the minimum warning line, please jump immediately." The voice of the woman in the headset grew increasingly anxious, "I repeat, jump immediately."
Please respond upon hearing this
Didi didi ... ...
Foreign object? Xu Rui's lips curled into a cold smile once again. Just now, while performing barrel rolls around the A country's EP-3 reconnaissance aircraft, he "very amateurishly" failed to maintain the proper distance, resulting in the left vertical stabilizer of his aircraft severing the right half of the A country's reconnaissance aircraft's wing, ultimately leading to the unfortunate crash of this A country's reconnaissance aircraft in the East China Sea
However, it must be acknowledged that Xu Rui has done an excellent job, an outstanding job!
Subsequently, the oxygen supply in the cabin began to run low, and Xu Rui started to feel suffocated
In addition to a crooked gun, the weapons in their hands are all Type 38 rifles
But how could Xu Rui be an ordinary person? He is the strongest soldier king in the history of the Republic, possessing bone strength and physical resilience far beyond that of ordinary people. The moment his feet touched the ground, Xu Rui quickly curled his body into a ball and rolled forward, rolling several times before finally dissipating the tremendous momentum and landing safely
Xu Rui, however, remained calm and followed the emergency plan by shutting down the vehicle and restarting it
The cockpit alarm is continuously emitting a piercing sound, and on the display screen, the red numbers representing the flight altitude are rapidly fluctuating: 1000, 800, 600, 500...
A ridiculous thought suddenly surged: Could it be that I have traveled through time?
As the altitude decreased, Xu Rui discovered that the ink wash painting was on fire
Xu Rui's exclamation of "Baka" left the Japanese lieutenant momentarily stunned, while the six Japanese soldiers on guard around him exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what was happening
Isn't this the standard attire of the little devils from the Second World War?
At the critical moment of life and death, Xu Rui let out a strange cry and abruptly pressed the ejection button. Fortunately, the ejection device did not malfunction.
Meanwhile, Xu Rui encountered an unprecedented and significant challenge
Xu Rui, however, remained unmoved, turned off the car, and then started it again
With a loud bang, Xu Rui's entire body was propelled from the seat, crashing through the cockpit cover and shooting into the air at an angle. Almost simultaneously as Xu Rui ejected, his aircraft plunged into the large lake with a roar, vanishing without a trace in an instant, leaving only a series of bubbles rapidly rising from the crash site, rolling endlessly.
This means that the aircraft is now only two hundred meters away from sea level
Do not move recklessly, or I will kill you. Now raise your hands and turn around! The harsh words in Japanese echoed again, and Xu Rui calmly raised his hands and slowly turned around
As a commander of the Red Army, it would be one thing to personally pilot an aircraft to the front lines, but to dare to change the exercise mission upon discovering the reconnaissance aircraft from Country A is simply audacious beyond measure
The foreign object inhaled by the engine is estimated to have come from a reconnaissance aircraft of Country A
Boom... In the next moment, a sudden thrust surged from the seat behind Xu Rui, so powerful that it nearly left him breathless. However, the anxiety that had been hanging in his heart finally settled back into his stomach, as he had once again successfully averted a flight emergency; the engine had been successfully reignited!
However, the immense impact still rendered Xu Rui incapacitated on the ground, unable to move for a short period of time
In other words, the fighter jet is completely out of control
"Vulture received, please provide instructions." Xu Rui calmly responded while forcefully pushing the control stick
However, Xu Rui had encountered such emergencies many times before, and he was fully confident in his ability to eliminate the danger and return safely. His flight hours might not compare to those of the golden helmets, but in terms of flying skills, Xu Rui never considered himself second to anyone, for he was the king of soldiers. From the sky to the ground and into the deep blue, he was the strongest, and there was no one else like him
But who can be blamed? The Chinese military has already designated the exercise area and issued a no-fly notice. Yet, your reconnaissance aircraft from Country A insisted on intruding into the area. If it gets destroyed, who can be held responsible?
Xu Rui originally thought that there would be armed personnel from the Japan Self-Defense Forces behind him
At that moment, a Japanese army second lieutenant walked up to Xu Rui and asked in broken Chinese: "Your, Chinese air force?"
So where could this be? Is it in Ryukyu or on the main island of Japan? However, is Japan currently at war?
However, when Xu Rui clearly saw the soldier behind him aiming a gun at him, he was momentarily taken aback
The red numbers on the display have decreased to 200
At the current rate of descent, a crash may occur in an instant
Time flows slowly amidst the suffocating transit
This young man Xu Rui is indeed too reckless
Japanese? The other party turned out to be Japanese, damn time tunnel, it actually sent him to Japan
If it were someone else, jumping from such a height would surely result in serious injury, if not death
Until now, Xu Rui is still wearing his flight suit, and he has not even removed his parachute pack. Moreover, he does not have any insignia of a Japanese pilot, which is why the Japanese second lieutenant mistakenly believes that Xu Rui is a member of the Chinese Air Force
As the flight altitude of the vulture rapidly ascended, a wave of cheers erupted in the command and dispatch cabin
Indeed, there were as many as seven soldiers pointing guns at him, three of whom were positioned somewhat closer, while four were a bit farther away. However, this was not the main point; the focus was on the military uniforms they wore, which caused Xu Rui to feel a dizzying sense of temporal dislocation. The olive-green uniforms, the military caps with fabric curtains, as well as the steel helmets, shoulder insignia, and combat belts.
