50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 769 Revenge does not last overnight

Sun Zhiwei let out a heavy sigh of relief after seeing the two F5s instantly destroyed by his spatial cutting.

Today's encounters with the enemy are completely different from the past. In the past, when he was on the ground, no matter how dangerous it was, he could use space to dig downwards to avoid attacks.

Even if a nuclear bomb were to strike, given enough time to react, he could dig to a depth sufficient to avoid the nuclear explosion.

However, his spatial abilities are too limited in the sky, and today he really risked his life.

In other words, today's F-5 doesn't carry air-to-air missiles. Otherwise, if they were to launch missiles beyond visual range, whether the F-5 could dodge them would depend entirely on its brain reaction speed at that moment.

Air-to-air missiles typically fly at speeds of Mach 2 or higher, meaning they can travel over 600 to 700 meters per second.

The missile's flight time, from entering his spatial range to exploding upon approach, is only one or two seconds. If he is distracted for even a moment, he will be hit by the missile.

This battle also left him somewhat fearful. With the advancement of technology, missiles will fly faster and faster, and once their speed exceeds Mach 3, he will absolutely not be able to react in time.

Human strength has its limits, and even with his spatial cheat, he was not invincible. This served as a great wake-up call for him, making him more cautious in his future actions.

Once the frigate confirmed that there were no more enemy aircraft behind the two F-5s, he piloted the Black Hawk back to the frigate in port.

For the remainder of the time, the frigate's radar continued to scan the entire airspace, remaining on high alert for any possible further attacks.

Fortunately, they were not attacked again today.

The air force base on Batam Island must already know that two F-5s have been shot down. But they don't know how those two F-5s were shot down.

They had dodged two waves of 16 missiles, but were suddenly shot down a few minutes later.

The F5 is already the most advanced fighter jet in their base. If they don't confirm this attack method, they will never dare to come over again.

The air force base on Batam Island only had a dozen or so fighter jets. Now that Sun Zhiwei has shot down two of them, they only have two F-5s left at their base, which they cannot afford to lose any more.

The celebration ended in the afternoon, followed by a night of revelry for everyone, but Sun Zhiwei had no interest in attending the dinner.

That evening, he piloted the Apache attack helicopter in space, departing from the shore of Grand Natuna Island and heading straight for Batam Island, 500 kilometers away.

Sun Zhiwei has never failed to fight back after being beaten; in his dictionary, there is no such thing as "a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years".

If he has a grudge, he usually settles it on the spot, never letting it linger overnight.

Grand Natuna Island is 530 kilometers from Batam Island in a straight line, and it takes about two hours to reach it at Apache speed.

In order to maintain high speed, he flew at high altitude for the first half of the journey.

After crossing the Riau Islands, and having completed more than half of the journey, the Apache began to descend to 30-50 meters above sea level for ultra-low-altitude flight.

When an aircraft flies at an altitude of less than 100 meters, it is called ultra-low-altitude flight. This altitude can evade long-range detection by most radars.

Due to the curvature of the Earth, currently used radars can only detect flying targets below 100 meters, and at most can only detect targets within 30 kilometers.

At lower altitudes, the radar can detect objects at shorter distances.

When Sun Zhiwei's Apache helicopter maintained an altitude of 30 meters, the radar at Batam Air Base could not detect it until it was within 10 kilometers.

The Apache helicopter could cover 10 kilometers in just two minutes, a distance the airport simply couldn't possibly react in time. Just as he expected, when the Apache reached the airspace above Batam Air Base, all he heard were piercing alarms and panicked crowds running around.

Pilots and support staff were rushing out of dormitory buildings toward the fighter jets parked on the runway, but it was too late.

Once the Apache entered the airport, it began dropping bombs. To ensure the destructive effect, it spared no expense, and every fighter jet on the runway received a bomb.

In addition to fighter jets, he also dropped aerial bombs on all important buildings, including pilots' quarters, aviation fuel depots, ammunition depots, radar and airport control towers.

Batam Air Force Base has two runways. One runway is used for fighter jets, while the other runway is used for auxiliary aircraft.

Sun Zhiwei was surprised to see a huge machine here: a C-141 transport plane produced in America.

This C-141 transport aircraft looks a bit old, but Sun Zhiwei knows that this type of transport aircraft is very durable.

From the first C-141 transport aircraft being equipped by the American troops in 1965 to the last C-141 being sent to a museum in 2006.

Over a period of 40 years, a total of 264 C-141s have served in the American Air Force, accumulating more than 1060 million flight hours, yet there has never been a major accident.

In short, this thing is pretty good. It has always been the main transport aircraft of the American Air Force and has never been exported. I don't know why there is one here.

But that doesn't matter; if Sun Zhiwei has his eye on something, it's his spoils.

Apache helicopters flew swiftly over Batam Air Base, dropping a volley of bombs before quickly moving away from the base's perimeter.

After confirming that there was no danger, he landed in a clearing in the woods.

He had his eye on that C-141 and he had to get it back.

This thing is too big. If he were to put it directly into the space and bring it to Subi Island Airport, he wouldn't be able to explain it at all. So, it's better to just fly it back.

After disembarking from the Apache, Sun Zhiwei retracted the helicopter into its storage compartment, then retrieved his beloved little motorcycle and quickly returned to the air force base.

Before long, he arrived near the base and saw from afar that the base was ablaze with activity, with fires burning everywhere.

The fire was most intense at the oil depot, with flames reaching tens of meters high and thick smoke obscuring the sky above the airport.

The fire in the ammunition depot was the most dangerous, with explosions heard frequently and aerial bombs occasionally flying into the sky and randomly scattering in all directions.

Many of the support staff who rushed to fight the fire were blown to bits by these sudden secondary explosions.

Upon seeing this, Sun Zhiwei felt a little apprehensive and could only drive around the air force base, keeping a safe distance from the ammunition depot.

Once he reached the other side of the base and got close to the runway for the auxiliary aircraft, he used spatial cutting to cut through the outer fence and crawled inside.

Ten minutes later, Sun Zhiwei was already sitting in the pilot's seat of the C-141 and began the self-test.

The airport was in complete chaos. The people Sun Zhiwei saw fighting the fire were doing so spontaneously, without any organizers present.

He estimated that it was very likely that the base's leaders had all been wiped out in the bombing he had just conducted.
