Episode 9 recap: Xie Zhen Yu withdrew his request to leave the team and applied to return to the base.
Through this competition, Xie Zhen Yu realized his own shortcomings and how big the gap was between himself and Qin Da Di and Yu Tao. He abruptly left the test flight team. Kang Yan Cheng was very angry when he found out, thinking that Xie Zhen Yu did not treat him like a brother.Wu Jing Tian was very disappointed in Xie Zhen Yu. He had hoped that Xie Zhen Yu could learn all of Qin Da Di's skills and repeatedly defeat him, just as Qin Da Di had thoroughly defeated him before. But Wu Jing Tian didn't expect Xie Zhen Yu to become a deserter.
Xie Zhen Yu stated that the test flight team had Qin Da Di and Yu Tao, so it didn't matter whether he, Xie Zhen Yu, was there or not. General Zhou applied to increase the difficulty of the experiments, but that would also mean increased risks. Yi Zheng Bang consulted Qin Da Di for advice, and Qin Da Di had no objections, but insisted on being the first to go.
The aircraft carrier platform is still in the experimental and trial stage. After inspecting the Liaoning ship, Yi Zheng Bang told the captain Zhang Hao Ran and the political commissar Song Guo Qing that if they had any problems or needed solutions, they should promptly provide feedback to the factory. When Yi Zheng Bang heard that female soldiers would board the ship, he emphasized that they must consider the national conditions of China, and he would personally be responsible for dealing with the female soldiers' affairs.
The competition then entered the second stage, with the air force and navy facing off one-on-one. Yi Zheng Bang personally came to the command center to observe. Kang Yan Cheng noticed that Geng Jian Lin and Yu Tao were discussing Xie Zhen Yu, so he reminded Xie Zhen Yu to focus on unity and not offend others.
However, Xie Zhen Yu didn't take it to heart. When facing Geng Jian Lin, he had a completely indifferent attitude. At the start of the confrontation, the two fighter jets quickly entered combat mode. Xie Zhen Yu used his familiar tactics, making the onlookers feel uneasy. Geng Jian Lin grasped Xie Zhen Yu's pattern and thought he could control the opponent.
Suddenly, a fighter jet emerged from the clouds above, and Xie Zhen Yu quickly locked onto Geng Jian Lin, saluting him. At almost the same time, the people in the command center drew a sharp breath, and Kang Yan Cheng and his teammates excitedly clapped and cheered in victory.
The air force team, on the other hand, was annoyed, thinking that Xie Zhen Yu completely disregarded the rules of air combat, but the battlefield is like that - the enemy won't show mercy just because of so-called rules. Yi Zheng Bang learned that the afternoon match would be Yu Tao against Kang Yan Cheng, so he returned to the headquarters for a meeting, saying that if the next match was Xie Zhen Yu versus Yu Tao, he would come to watch again.
Although Yu Tao easily defeated Kang Yan Cheng, he didn't have enough confidence to win against Xie Zhen Yu.
Based on these recent competitions, the team members analyzed Xie Zhen Yu's methods and tactics, providing him with suggestions and advice on how to improve. Xie Zhen Yu was deeply inspired and finally knew which direction to focus his efforts on. Xia Chu reviewed Xie Zhen Yu's test reports and found that while he possessed the qualities of a good pilot in most areas, his scores on imagination and anxiety were relatively high, which could be detrimental to his mental health.
The more this was the case, the more curious Xia Chu became about Xie Zhen Yu and what he had experienced to develop such a personality. The next morning, Yi Zhengbang arrived at the command center, and Yu Tao and Xie Zhen Yu were ready to take off. At the signal, the two aircraft tore through the sky at an astonishing speed.
Xie Zhen Yu cleverly used the cloud cover as camouflage and maneuvered the aircraft with great flexibility, but Yu Tao also refused to back down, using the same tactics to counterattack, quickly identifying and locking onto Xie Zhen Yu's weak points to secure the final victory. Faced with this result, Yi Zhengbang was simply incredulous, and also angry that Yu Tao had won due to thorough preparation, and that Qin Da Di should have warned Xie Zhen Yu beforehand.
However, Qin Da Di felt that as the squadron leader, he should be fair and impartial, and not show any favoritism. The key to victory or defeat lay in their own abilities. The air force team members rushed to congratulate Yu Tao, creating a lively atmosphere, while Xie Zhen Yu's side seemed unusually somber.
Qin Da Di and Tao Si Yong discussed on the rooftop, having expected Xie Zhen Yu to win, but Yu Tao's performance exceeded expectations. This defeat was a huge blow to Xie Zhen Yu, as he had always been the "air force king" in the navy. His emotions were in turmoil upon returning to the dormitory, and Kang Yan Cheng personally went to the cafeteria to get food for him.
Seeing this, Qin Da Di went to the dormitory to talk to Xie Zhen Yu, listened to his true thoughts, and pointed out that arrogance leads to defeat. As a result, Xie Zhen Yu was struck again, experiencing physical vomiting, causing great concern. Tao Si Yong, concerned about Xie Zhen Yu's physical and mental wellbeing, decided to take him for psychological counseling with Xia Chu.
Under Tao Si Yong's insistence, Xie Zhen Yu had no choice but to face Xia Chu and briefly explain the situation. Xia Chu took Xie Zhen Yu to the seaside and taught him how to release his suppressed emotions through shouting. After Xia Chu's guidance and comfort, Xie Zhen Yu's condition noticeably improved, and his attitude towards her changed slightly. Xia Chu then left her business card with him, telling him to consult her if he had any problems in the future.
