50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 843 Gather 100 aircraft and send them back

At present, the MiG-21 fighter jet is still somewhat useful. It would be a pity to destroy it directly. It would be better to transport it back and dismantle it for spare parts.

However, if they were to actually transport them back, 30 aircraft wouldn't be presentable. He remembered that the Monkey family had a total of 180 MiG-21s, so they would need to gather 100 more to transport back in order to make it look respectable.

He was initially somewhat wary of the monkeys' navy, fearing they might have some hidden trump cards up their sleeves.

But during his trip to Haiphong Port over the past few days, he learned the true nature of the Monkey Kingdom's navy, and he was finally able to put his mind at ease.

This is their naval headquarters in Haiphong Port. If even this place is in such a terrible state, what else does he have to worry about?

The main force of the Monkey family currently consists of only three "Bejia"-class corvettes, which are scattered across three bases. One of them has already been lost.

No matter how crazy the monkeys get, they won't provoke Natuna again right now, because they can't afford to lose anything.

Besides, of the remaining two Petya-class corvettes, he had tampered with one of them, rendering it useless if it ran away, which served as a kind of insurance.

Therefore, the monkey navy doesn't need to rush for now. He can use the time to find the monkey's air force base and gather more MiG-21s.

In the following days, he began searching for frontline air force bases within a 100-kilometer radius of the border.

Generally speaking, the configuration of air force airfields follows a pattern: on the same defensive line, the distance between airfields is basically arranged in a linear pattern.

If there are key areas that need to be defended, multiple airports are usually set up around the key points to ensure comprehensive air protection.

He first searched within a certain area and indeed found another military airfield in the northwest of Thang Long Province.

Its configuration was similar to the previous airport, where he acquired another 30 mothballed MiG-21 fighter jets.

Sun Zhiwei speculated that Thang Long Prefecture must be a key area that requires special protection.

So he searched again in the northeast and southwest of Thang Long Province and found another hidden air force base in each direction.

Sun Zhiwei seized a total of 120 MiG-21s from four air force bases around Thang Long Fu, which is a decent haul.

Satisfied, Sun Zhiwei didn't linger in Thang Long Phu, but instead turned south and headed for Cam Ranh Bay.

That area not only houses the largest overseas base of the Russians, but also the current headquarters of the Russian Air Force.

Cam Ranh Bay has an excellent geographical location. The Monkey family has built a large air force base there, which can cover a large area of ​​airspace and sea. Many of the aircraft that the Bear family has provided over the years are stationed there.

The 12 fighter jets that Sun Zhiwei and his team ambushed a few days ago took off from Jinlan Air Force Base.

Although his men successfully fought back in the last attack, they also lost a submarine.

Given Sun Zhiwei's vengeful nature, how could he possibly let them off so easily? This time, he was going to Jinlan Bay to settle the score from last time.

It's more than 1000 kilometers from Thang Long to Cam Ranh Bay, and he didn't want to waste his time in the remote, impoverished countryside of Monkey's village.

Therefore, he took a domestic flight directly from the civilian airport in Thang Long Province to Cam Ranh City.

A few hours later, as his plane flew over Cam Ranh International Airport, he saw a spectacular sight.

It turns out that right next to Cam Ranh International Airport are the air force bases of both the "monkey" (Russia) and the "bear" (Russia). Further south, at the apex of the peninsula, is the "Bear's" Cam Ranh Bay base. Cam Ranh civilian airport is located at the northernmost point, a little south of which is the "monkey's" air force base, and further south is the "bear's" air force base.

Although still high in the air, Sun Zhiwei, with his excellent eyesight, could already see that the two military airfields were filled with various types of fighter jets.

As for the Cam Ranh Bay base, it is even larger, a super base covering 100 square kilometers, with continuous building complexes and port berths almost filling the entire base.

After getting off the plane, Sun Zhiwei changed clothes at the airport, entered stealth mode, and quickly infiltrated Monkey's air force base.

The base is much larger than the field airfields around Thang Long Phu, and its facilities are more complete, with the tarmac full of aircraft.

As the space stretched out before them, they discovered that the monkeys had deployed more than 20 MiG-21s.

There was another type of fighter jet that he had never seen before, also displayed at the airport. There were more of them than MiG-21s, but they looked very different from the MiGs.

He carefully reviewed the list of support provided by the Soviet Union over the years and finally determined that the batch of 70 unfamiliar aircraft should be the S-22 fighter-bombers.

The S-22, also known as the "Fitter," is an export version of the S-17, designed for both air combat and bombing (domestically referred to as an attack aircraft).

The S-22 has an operational radius of 1100 kilometers. They are stationed in Cam Ranh Bay, so they pose little threat to our homeland, but they can threaten a large area of ​​the South China Sea.

Sun Zhiwei silently calculated the distance from here to Subi Island and found it to be exactly 1000 kilometers. This indicated that it posed a threat to Natuna, but not a significant one.

Once the air defense network for Natuna is completed, this type of attack aircraft capable of carrying bombs will no longer be a concern.

He thoroughly examined the monkey's air force base and found that, apart from the two models he had just seen, the rest of the aircraft were old models, so he lost interest.

He then left and continued south, soon arriving at the Russian air force base.

The Russian airport wasn't large, but the fighter jets stationed there were much more advanced. Among them were two of the largest fighter jets, whose design Sun Zhiwei recognized very well—two Tu-16s.

Next to the two Tu-16s were some fighter jets, which looked more advanced than the MiG-21s; those should be MiG-23s. There were also some other types of aircraft, but the overall number was not large.

Sun Zhiwei did not intend to directly target the Russians; they placed too much importance on this base, and he feared that he might overdo it.

It's fine to take a look, though; there's not much to see at the airport. His main target is Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base.

100 square kilometers is really big. Sun Zhiwei dug underground for a long time before entering the base area, but he could only see a corner of the base.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the seaside pier.

The rows of warships lined up on the dock looked at Sun Zhiwei with great envy. If he had one or two of them, what would he have to worry about?

One of the giant warships was particularly eye-catching; its bridge, which was more than ten stories high, and its massive hull exuded a powerful sense of intimidation even before the fighting began.

Sun Zhiwei noticed the number of the giant warship: 050, and immediately knew who it was.

This is the top-tier capital ship of the Russian Empire: the Frunze, a large nuclear-powered guided-missile cruiser.
