If you look at the map, the southern end of Sakhalin Island extends out on both sides, forming a shape with two arms outstretched. In the middle is the Aniva Bay. Any such terrain is a prerequisite for a good port.
For example, you only need to arrange forts on two forward territories to block the entrance of the bay. In the age of naval guns, this is very important. The ships in the harbor inside are very safe.
At the same time, this also caused some trouble for Nathan’s investigation. Originally, he flew over the Aniva Bay and could fly directly to Korsakov Port. This is the most direct way. Flying at low altitude is much easier than on land.
However, if you fly in this way, you will definitely be surprised. As long as you enter Aniva Bay, the Soviets will know that they are coming.
Therefore, it is necessary to take a detour, fly over the eastern seas, and turn upwards in the east of Korsakov. In this way, it is equivalent to flying through the no-man’s land, which can be unexpected.
However, this has high requirements for the quality of pilots and for navigation.
Nathan hummed a tune, looked down at the navigation route map tied to his knee, and flew at his own speed for another twenty minutes, and it was time to turn left.
At this time, on the azure sea, you can already see the occasional white floating ice.
The eastern part of Sakhalin Island is the Sea of Okhotsk. It is cold here. In the north, it usually begins to freeze in November, and the ice age lasts in June of the following year. Most of the southern ice age does not exceed 3 months, usually in February. The ice on the sea surface melts. In this way, under the action of ocean currents, the floating ice will gradually drift southward, and at the same time gradually melt away, forming such a peculiar sight on the sea surface. It is quite dangerous.
Nathan lowered his altitude and flew at a distance of about ten meters above the sea. At this time, the altimeter on the dashboard in front of him was immobile. This barometric altimeter depends on changes in air pressure and is quite insensitive. This is entirely dependent on the pilot's own intuition.
The ice floes almost flew under the wing. Nathan was quite relaxed. He flew over the ice floes one after another, and occasionally could see the fishing boat in the distance.
Many of the fishing boats of the Soviets were controlled by the navy, doing invisible activities, but now, they can no longer take care of so many, and Nathan has no reason to kill all the fishing boats along the way.
So there is an electronic warplane flying in the rear. If these fishing boats find Nathan's warplane and want to report, then they will find that their radio has been strongly interfered and cannot be used at all.
Then, the airspace ahead turned!
Nathan pushed the joystick and kicked the rudder. The Tomcat fighter was in the extended state. The wing on the left side of the steering was tilted, almost rubbing the water, completing a small angle of steering.
Land, just ahead!
Nathan further lowered its altitude, and the fighter plane stabilized at a position five meters above the sea. At this time, the airflow from the tail engine had already caused the sea behind to surge.
Closer, closer, and then, the sea below suddenly disappeared, and grass-green land appeared.
"Turn on the detection equipment." Following Nathan's order, Gus behind him turned on a knob in front of him, and under the belly of the plane, the high-precision detection device began to focus. Two seconds later, the imaging was clear, and the detection began!
The southern part of Sakhalin Island is almost all high mountains. Only this tentacle-like position is a flat land. Nathan's fighter plane is flying almost close to the treetops. After flying over, the trees are shaky.
The roar of the engine spread far away.
At this time, the wings of the Tomcat fighter were all unfolded. In the ultra-low-altitude flight, it flew to a speed of Mach 0.5, which allowed more time for reconnaissance and also made it easy for Nathan to respond to emergencies at any time.
Suddenly, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I could see the bay in the distance, and the boats in the harbor.
Korsakov is the second largest city on Sakhalin Island after Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Although it was not in the 1980s, it was already quite prosperous.
All kinds of minerals on Sakhalin Island are mined, loaded on ships, and transported from here to various places.
Nathan easily pushed the joystick, almost sticking to the ground, and flew toward the front. Old Maozi, I'm knocking on the door!
The Tomcat fighter spread its wings and headed towards Korsakov.
In the harbor, a boatman heard the roar in the distance. He raised his head. In the eastern sun, he seemed to see an airplane coming here fast.
Then, the roar became louder and louder, and the plane flew over their heads.
So he stretched out his hand and waved to the sky.
The people below are actually beckoning to themselves? Although it flashed past, Nathan also keenly saw the following, and felt incredible. These people don't even know their fighters
What does this show
There are no soldiers in this port. As in the past, it is normal here. No warships are seen anchoring in the port.
Yes, where did those warships go
Although it is a natural harbor from the topography, it is not suitable from the geographical point of view because it is too close to Hokkaido.
Therefore, if the Soviets wanted to conspiracy, they probably did not gather the army here. However, there is not a single warship here, which just shows that the Soviets really have a conspiracy!
Soon, he flew over the harbor. After seeing the edge of the harbor in front of him, Nathan pulled the joystick, kicked the rudder, and flew northward.
There are mountains with ridges and peaks.
Sakhalin Island is a long island with a railway going from north to south. This railway started from Korsakov.
At this time, for Nathan, the real test came.
If you want to conceal and avoid the radar of the Soviets on Sakhalin Island, you must fly at an ultra-low altitude. Even if the Soviets now take off an early warning aircraft, Nathan cannot be found because of the limited ability to filter clutter.
Nathan's danger lies not in the Soviet air defense system, but in himself.
In front, the mountains suddenly appeared, but Nathan was not afraid at all. He pushed the control stick to the right, and the Tomcat fighter turned ninety degrees along the axis of the body in an instant, with the wings upright, from between the two mountains. In the narrow valley, got into it.
"Woo, woo!" Below is the railway line, and the railway entering from between the two mountains seems to disappear.
At this time, on the railway, in front of a train, the driver heard the roar above his head. When he raised his head, he saw an airplane flying by.
These guys are so bold! The driver shook his head. Recently, the island has become more lively, and several aviation groups have arrived. Lenovo’s recent air crash, it seems that a fight is inevitable.
The other party flew very fast, he only saw the tail flames, and did not see what plane it was coming from.
At this time, the tomcat has leveled out again, turning around in the valley, Gus in the rear compartment, trying to calm himself, can't close his eyes, can't close his eyes, otherwise he will be a bear! (End of this chapter)
