Chapter 1179 Exercise Completed
He shook his head back and forth, and suddenly saw what appeared to be a flash of silver light to his lower left. He blinked, trying to confirm its authenticity while simultaneously contacting his wingman via radio:

"Dongguai, Dongguai, there appears to be a flying target to your lower left. Be on alert!"

After looking around, Dongguai hesitated before saying, "No target found, no target found."

There was no time to waste now; any further hesitation would be too late. Wang Wuhai pushed the control lever to the left and simultaneously spoke into the microphone:

"I'm attacking to the lower left. Stay close and cover me!"

Wang Wuhai's Dongyao slid to the left, with his wingman, Dongguai fighter jet, following closely behind.

As the two aircraft swooped down at high speed, Wang Wuhai spotted the silvery aircraft he had just seen again—two F-86 Sabres, which were passing through the clouds below.

Suddenly, the two enemy planes pulled up sharply from the air and climbed rapidly.

At a glance, Wang Wuhai understood that this climb rate was inferior to that of their J-5 fighter jets.

However, he did not let his guard down. After so many battles, he knew that Instructor Lin Hao's skills could be far superior to those of piloting a fighter jet.

He slightly lowered the control stick, his finger resting on the machine gun button. The J-5 fighter jet's electronic aiming device beeped, and the aiming radar was measuring the distance. It was still more than 5 kilometers away, far from entering the machine gun's firing range.

Wang Wuhai silently wished himself good luck, because he knew that this electronic aiming device sometimes had errors, and quite significant ones at that.

The enemy's two aircraft suddenly made a sharp turn, avoiding Wang Wuhai's attack, and then charged straight up from the side.

Even Wang Wuhai, a veteran of many battles, was greatly surprised, because the speed of the two opposing aircraft was extremely fast, clearly exceeding the level flight speed of the J-5 fighter jet.

In that split second, the electronic aiming device beeped, signaling that the enemy aircraft were within range of its cannons. Wang Wuhai realized that he and his wingman had entered the firing range of the two opposing aircraft.

He pulled the lever sharply, and the J-5 fighter jet rolled violently, attempting to evade the F-86's attack.

Just then, Wang Wuhai heard the voice from the ground control station through his headset: "Dongguai No. 1 aircraft, Dongguai No. 1, your aircraft has been shot down. Please return to the airport immediately!"

His wingman was shot down, and now he was on his own. Fortunately, before his wingman was shot down, he helped him get rid of the F-86's attack, giving him a chance to get over the enemy aircraft.

"You're faster than me, aren't you? Let's see where you can hide this time!" Wang Wuhai suddenly opened the aircraft's speed brakes, and the fighter jet immediately pitched up, completing the Cobra maneuver.

However, this movement of the cobra raising its head caused the plane to decelerate rapidly, causing Wang Wuhai's blood to rush to his brain.

At this moment, his eardrums were ringing, his eyeballs felt like they were about to bulge out, and his head felt like it was about to explode. He then quickly pressed the nose down and finally managed to complete a Cobra maneuver with great difficulty.

Just when Wang Wuhai felt he was about to lose his ability, he finally saw the silver F86 fighter jet surge ahead and rush past him from below.

At this moment, he could not appreciate the heroic posture of piloting his fighter jet like the people in the control tower. A beautiful cobra maneuver instantly changed the battlefield situation.

The F86 that was originally chasing Wang Wuhai suddenly overtook him and moved ahead of him. Wang Wuhai, with his nose down, instantly regained the upper hand and took aim at the F86.

He then pressed the fire button hard, but instead of firing bullets and shells, it activated the camera's shutter button.

"Click, click, snap!"

Just as he took the photos as a record of the shot-down, the F86 realized it was ahead and immediately stepped on the rudder while simultaneously pulling the rudder stick to the left.

The F86 then executed a beautiful barrel roll, the fighter jet seemingly circling the edge of an invisible barrel, instantly shaking off Wang Wuhai's pursuit attack and allowing Wang Wuhai to regain the lead.

Wang Wuhai didn't even have time to adjust his nose and aim properly. He watched helplessly as the plane, less than 500 meters away, rolled once in the sky and then chased after him again.

"Dongyao, Dongyao, please return to the airport immediately to confirm the downed status." This was the radio communication from the control tower.

"Received, return to base immediately!" After replying to the control tower, Wang Wuhai looked at the F86 flying into the distance with some confusion.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the F86 fighter jet that Instructor Lin was piloting was a little weaker than usual. He wondered if Instructor Lin was deliberately letting him win, or if it was really like that.

However, he was exhausted by this time, and Wang Wuhai struggled to taxi the plane on the runway.

Finally, the elevator came to a smooth stop. Wang Wuhai leaned back in his seat, his whole body drenched in sweat. At that moment, the ground crew brought the elevator to him.

Then, with a flurry of activity, they helped Wang Wuhai up from the cabin. After he landed safely, he smiled and clenched his fist, waving it vigorously in the air:

"I shot down Instructor Lin's F86. I took it down first!"

The instructors in the control tower watched as the Dongyao fighter jet came to a stop and Wang Wuhai emerged from the aircraft. Several instructors smiled and said:
"This guy is a real daredevil. He was fighting the 'Golden Helmet' just now, and we just don't know who shot whom down?"

Another instructor shook his head and said:
"The final result will only be clear when the photos from the camera come out!"

"However, you need to understand one thing: Wang Wuhai is piloting a J-5 fighter jet, while the other side is piloting an F-86, which only has two-thirds the performance of the J-5. If they are piloting the same type of aircraft, the two are not comparable at all. At most, they can only touch the hem of the Golden Helmet."

"However, on the other hand, this guy actually managed to turn the tide in that flight posture, which makes him a truly outstanding student!"

In the pilots' lounge, the pilots who had just finished the combat exercise were having a lively discussion. Some of them were holding model airplanes and simulating the flight scenarios with their comrades.

When Wang Wuhai entered the lounge, everyone applauded. Wang Wuhai took off his flight cap, took a sip of water, and silently sat down in his seat.

Everyone gathered around, chattering away:

"Wang Wuhai, you're amazing! You really made everyone proud today. You're the only one who could withstand the first attack in the exercise and even launch a counterattack. That's impressive. We were all taken down in one wave, and some people were taken down before we even spotted the target."

The other flight trainees whispered among themselves: "Someone like Wang Wuhai is practically a gold helmet candidate!"

Wang Wuhai didn't answer, but seemed a little sullen, because he knew that he didn't know if his first attack had succeeded. If the first attack failed, then F86's rolling motion would be the final blow to him.

Half an hour later, the Air Force personnel and Lin Hao came to the group of trainees and announced the final results.

"After a detailed comparison of the photos, it was determined that Wang Wuhai shot down the F-86 fighter jet after the first Cobra maneuver. Therefore, Wang Wuhai won the air combat exercise."

Lin Hao stepped forward to shake hands with Wang Wuhai and praised him, saying, "Congratulations, Comrade Wang Wuhai! I hope you will continue your efforts and achieve even greater success in future battles!"

"Thank you for your concern, leaders, and thank you for your guidance, instructors!" Wang Wuhai said excitedly upon hearing this.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa~!" Everyone cheered in unison. This was the first time they had defeated the Blue Army's Golden Helmet, which was their instructor, Lin Hao.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that Lin Hao lost to them this time simply because the fighter jet he piloted was far weaker than theirs.

If both sides were piloting the same type of fighter jet, Wang Wuhai would have no chance at all. The key point is that the flight maneuvers of their fighter jets were basically taught to them by Lin Hao.

However, victory is victory, and no one will talk about fairness on the battlefield. You have to switch to the same type of aircraft before the battle.

So they should cheer, cheer for their victory.

At this moment, Lin Hao handed a helmet with gold trim to Wang Wuhai and then said:

"From now on, you are the new Golden Helmet, and we hope you can continue this glory."

"Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission. I will wear this helmet and fight my way to the next victory!" Wang Wuhai immediately saluted and assured him.

"Haha, Comrade Xiao Wang, don't slack off!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"If your comrade defeats you in a future competition, you should still hand over the golden helmet to someone else, so that it can become a legacy of this space!"

With Wang Wuhai's fighter jet landing, the red-blue confrontation exercise came to a successful conclusion.

However, in the end, the air force leaders stood in perfect military uniform, their backs straight, and addressed the thousands of cadets.

"You are all future fighter pilots. You will become eagles soaring in the sky. The sky of the future will be your territory."

"When facing the enemy, we must inherit and carry forward the fighting style of our army, which is bold yet meticulous, brave and tenacious. We should not have any concerns, nor any worries about the future, and we should not be afraid of crashing the plane."

"The motherland and the people built these airplanes and gave them to you so that you could use them for training. Only by improving your air combat skills can you take to the skies to defeat the enemy and defend the motherland..."

······
After the Air Force leaders and Lin Hao left the flight academy, they arrived at the Blue Army's training base.

At this moment, a group of maintenance pilots and ground crew were inspecting an F-86 fighter jet. In the hangar, there were also MiG-15s that had returned from other academies after completing combat exercises.

At this moment, Zhang Jihui, the only female pilot in the Blue Team, approached Lin Hao and said somewhat dejectedly:

"Instructor, I failed this time, I—!"

Lin Hao waved his hand to interrupt what she was about to say, which was nothing more than feelings of resentment and regret.

However, Lin Hao knew that everyone was just using different types of aircraft, and it would be petty to make a fuss about that.

However, Lin Hao still offered words of comfort:
"You've won so many times, so what's wrong with losing once? Besides, the plane you're piloting is far inferior to theirs, so failure is normal."

"After all, while you're making progress, others aren't resting either; they're making progress too!"

"The fact that he was able to beat you proves that their training was effective. If they had trained for so long and were still unable to beat you while piloting a plane that was more advanced than yours, then there would be a big problem!"

That's right, the pilot flying the F86 this time was Lin Hao's direct student, not Lin Hao himself.

In Lin Hao's words, it would be too much of a bully for him to personally take to the field to fight back, since Lin Hao could still bring them down from the sky even without flying a plane.

This wasn't the first time that students from the Blue Team School had replaced Lin Hao in the competition.

Currently, all 20 pilots of the Blue Team have participated in exercises in other locations, and have been involved in combat at least once.

Zhang Jihui was just unlucky; she happened to encounter Wang Wuhai, who was equally talented, and the two were actually quite evenly matched.

Lin Hao had infused both students with his Qi and Blood Power and used it to heal their hidden injuries, so their physical abilities were roughly the same.

Unfortunately, the aircraft's performance limited Zhang Jihui's ability to perform, which is why she was so unwilling to give up.

After all, they were top students among the trainees, and they were equally adept at using the J-5 fighter jet. If they were actually flying the same aircraft, the other side would have been shot down long ago.

They were personally trained by Lin Hao, undergoing much more rigorous training and frequently serving as the Blue Team to sweep through various flight cadets. Their experience was definitely far superior to theirs.

After encouraging the Blue Team trainees, Lin Hao then visited the J-5 manufacturing center in Chengdu. Currently, apart from the 30 J-5s delivered to flight trainees, the other 90 J-5 fighter jets have been secretly transported to Northeast China.

There are still thirteen days before the US enters the war in Korea. However, the initial aircraft used by the US will mainly be P-51 fighters, and F-80, F-84 and other jet fighters will be used later.

The enemy will only send out F-86 fighters when the fighting is at its most intense in December, and by then, our fighter fleet is expected to have 300 aircraft.

By then, the production line should be able to reach maximum output, and the trained workers should be proficient, even enabling three shifts to maximize production capacity.

The only problem is that there might be a shortage of pilots at that time, but there's no other way. Being able to use the J-5 as a trainer aircraft is simply too extravagant.

However, by then, the jet fighter cadets at other flight academies will also be graduating.

That's right. Other flight academies have also begun training jet fighter cadets. Initially, the flight cadets from Chengdu will hone their skills. When they are ready, the Blue Army will be deployed to continue serving as their whetstone.

However, Lin Hao had prepared for so long because he intended to go to the front lines, rather than stay in the training academy.

Therefore, Lin Hao planned to bring eight Blue Army pilots with him after entering North Korea to take turns going to the front line and fight against the enemy's fighter jets.

However, it was still early, and before heading to the capital, Lin Hao planned to go home and spend some time with the women in his family.

After all, once you enter the battlefield, it's fine to use teleportation to go home occasionally, but it's not good to perform the disappearance trick every few days.

Moreover, teleportation has a limited number of uses, so while the war hasn't started yet, spend more time with your family.
