Great Power Fighting Falcon

The direct and indirect mobilization of hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of large equipment lasts for up to a month, and the firepower implementation phase lasts for seven days. Such military exercises are held once a year and are definitely one of the most important military activities of the army in a year.

Exercises of this size have daily agencies. The Western Exercise Training Command and the military region agencies work together, which is basically a set of people and two brands. The end of each year's exercise means that preparations for the next year's exercise will begin. The connection is very tight, which reflects the importance of the "Western" military exercise.

Specific to the Destruction King Brigade, they are now starting preparations. For the basic tactical units, more than two weeks of preparation time is already very sufficient.

The first thing to do is to fly as much as possible and have preliminary combat effectiveness before the exercise begins, otherwise the exercise training headquarters will not agree to them flying the SU-27 to participate in the exercise.

The maintenance pressure has suddenly increased. Previously, there were only four SU-27UBKs flying for five consecutive days of ultra-high intensity, and four instructors led the training, so no matter how high the support pressure was, it would not be too great. Now Li Zhan gave the order and all fighter planes took off for training.

That was a collective carnival of up to sixteen heavy fighter planes!

The troops led by commanders like Li Zhan are always on the edge of the limit. He believes in a simple and crude way to improve combat effectiveness - working hard to achieve miracles.

When mobilizing the officers and soldiers, he said very directly: "The way for any army to improve its combat effectiveness can be summed up in two words: practice more. When it comes to our aviation unit, it is also two words: burn fuel. Only by consuming a lot of aviation Oil can achieve the purpose of improving combat effectiveness. The Western Military Exercise is just around the corner. It is the first time our regiment has participated in a large-scale military operation since it modified third-generation aircraft, which is of great significance. However, we have not yet formed combat effectiveness. Under the circumstances of tight time and heavy tasks, in addition to practicing more I just can’t think of a better way.”

The mechanics and aviation doctors were all tense. As soon as the fighter jet took off, they all had to operate at full capacity.

As long as the weather is good, every day is a flying day. Li Zhan took the lead and soared into the sky in his No. 01 SU-27SK. He flew for four hours and did not land until the fuel warning came on.

From the Beiku Mountains to the south to Wugu Lake, from Dongkuchang Station across the desert to the westernmost border, it is more than a thousand kilometers wide from east to west and more than 700 kilometers long from north to south. This area includes deserts, Gobi Desert, and hills. Areas with complex terrains such as mountains, lakes, and rivers are both the training airspace of the 101st Regiment and the area for the "Western" military exercises.

The 101st Regiment has a geographical advantage. They are the most familiar with the exercise area. Li Zhan directly asked the pilots of the Destruction King Brigade to conduct training directly over the exercise area. Diligence can make up for clumsiness. If you fail once, fly twice. If you fail twice, fly three times. Keep flying until you are perfect.

Everyone was engaged in high-intensity targeted training in full swing, but four pilots were conducting flight training step by step. Nie Jianfeng, Tang Leilei, Han Hongjun and Li Zixin, who are on combat readiness duty, can only follow the normal training plan because they are basically certain that they will not participate in the military exercise.

Looking around the world, the "Western" military exercise is definitely one of the largest military exercises. Missing such an important military exercise is an extremely regrettable thing for every soldier. Especially since Beiku Field Station is the main air force base for this exercise, I can only watch everyone enthusiastically join in the exercise, but I can only wait in the combat readiness duty room and wait for the warning light that may not light up for a long time. .

It is precisely Han Hongjun and Li Zixin who are the best in modification training in the King of Destruction Brigade. Good steel must be used on the blade, even if the blade may not see blood for decades.

Nie Jianfeng is the instructor. He must do ideological work to communicate with the Korean Red Army and Li Zixin, so he has been on duty with them these days.

Fighter planes are roaring outside and takeoffs and landings are taking place. Everyone is training enthusiastically. It takes a lot of concentration and self-dedication to sit calmly in the combat readiness duty room.

Standing by the window, he enviously watched a SU-27SK speeding up and taking off. When Han Hongjun turned around, he sighed and said, "It's Wu Zhen. This guy has made his second rise and fall today."

Li Zixin sat in front of the combat table, spread out an internal textbook and looked at it absently. After hearing this, he said, "Wu Zhen's third-generation aircraft has surpassed us in flight hours. I saw the team leader making statistics yesterday."

"Alas." Han Hongjun sighed and sat down.

Nie Jianfeng sat at the desk next to the red telephone, holding the SU-27 technical manual and reading it, and said, "You will eventually fly more than them. A police patrol will last at least three hours." The captain clearly mentioned I have been here, not only will the military exercise not affect our combat readiness, but our police patrol density will be greater during the military exercise, mainly high-frequency patrols on one side of the airspace line."

"Instructor, when does it start?" Han Hongjun suddenly became interested.

They all have family backgrounds. Their parents' assets are tens of millions. They really don't care about the rod fees. The main thing is flying. As long as they can fly, they don't care too much about the difference whether it's a drill or a combat readiness duty. From this point of view, it is quite the style of the Destruction King Brigade.

Nie Jianfeng said, "Our police patrols will also begin to increase in intensity when the exercise begins, but there will be missions arriving at any time before then."

As he spoke, he pointed to the red telephone, then changed the subject to a lighter topic, and said with a smile, "I heard from the captain that you both got married and got pregnant at the same time. Isn't it a coincidence?"

"Well, who says it isn't?" When Han Hongjun thought of the magical little life brewing in Cheng Mengxiao's belly, he just smiled like a fool. His confusion and fear as a new father were clearly revealed.

Li Zixin was also inexplicably happy and said, "My mother came here some time ago. She bought a house in Beicucheng and lived here. She didn't even let Wan Qing go to class."

"His mother bought a large villa with an area of ​​more than an acre and a garden. There were several aunts and uncles here, so he almost treated his wife as an ancestor." Han Hongjun said with a smile.

Nie Jianfeng said in surprise, "Li Zixin, are you the second generation rich?"

"Instructor, don't listen to Han Hongjun's nonsense. It's a villa or an ordinary building. It's just a relatively large place. And it's a house in the village on the outskirts of the city. He is the second generation of rich people and has houses in all major cities across the country." Li Zixin said quickly.

Nie Jianfeng looked at the two of them and said with emotion, "No wonder I've never heard you mention the rod fee. No wonder you've never asked about this matter. It turns out that you are really rich!"

"Don't say that, instructor, we are just soldiers fighting. It's too vulgar to have no money." Han Hongjun said quickly.

Nie Jianfeng smiled and said, "You mean the captain?"

"No, no, no!" Han Hongjun quickly denied.

There was a dull rumbling sound coming from outside, and you could tell from the sound that something huge was approaching at a steady pace. It was thicker than the sound of a transport plane, as if it was coming from underground.

"The bomber division has arrived." Nie Jianfeng raised his brows, stood up and ran outside to look up. Sure enough, an H-6 Dapeng appeared in the south with its wings spread. It was still far away and it was difficult to tell which model it was.

At this time, Li Zhan piloted the No. 01 fighter jet to fly beside the H-6, assisting these behemoths in landing at Beikuchang Station. The bomber division transferred from a place more than a thousand kilometers away. A total of eight bombers came over and formed the main bombing force of the air power in the "Western" military exercise, responsible for tactical precision strike missions.

Li Zhan carefully observed the gray-white painted H-6 that was close at hand. The fuselage tactical number was 20008. The organization was very familiar. It was the 28th Bomber Division that went to Beiku for training every year. But Li Zhan was sure that these bombers -6 is definitely not like any other before.

In other words, the 28th Division has modified a new bomber model again.

"Two holes and eight, you are on the landing route, keep your attitude and land." The tower called the first H-6.

Li Zhan could hear the radio conversation. He confirmed that the H-6's landing gear was all down and then directly told the H-6 captain. The observers in the tower also confirmed the condition of the landing gear and reported it to the commander, which ensured a smooth landing.

The SU-27 is large and heavy enough, and its maximum take-off weight is only about 30 tons. The maximum take-off weight of the H-6 is close to 80 tons, and the H-6 is only a medium bomber. With a wingspan of more than fifty meters, it is already larger than ordinary passenger aircraft.

Li Zhan kept flying level and watched as H-6 No. 20008 landed steadily on the runway and taxied for two thousand meters before slowing down and exiting the runway. Li Zhan couldn't help but was speechless. Judging from the smoke raised by the H-6's landing gear tires and the distance of landing and taxiing, they definitely took off and transitioned with full fuel, so that they carried more fuel when they landed.

There are strict requirements for the take-off weight and landing weight of an aircraft. If the weight exceeds the maximum landing weight, it will not be allowed to land.

From this point of view, the 28th Division also has full awareness of actual combat and is ready for combat at any time.

Li Zhan was sure that the eight H-6s that came over could definitely take off again at any time without refueling.

After turning around and returning to the north, Li Zhan continued to fly with the second H-6, observing the appearance of the aircraft to ensure nothing went wrong. It took a full forty minutes for a total of eight H-6s to land. When Li Zhan walked around the field to observe the fields, he saw that the fields were almost packed to the brim. Such scenes are exciting.

The 101st Regiment itself is a large-scale flying regiment. There are fifty J-7 series fighters in the Second and Third Brigades, plus sixteen SU-27s and No. 037 J-7Es in the First Brigade, a total of sixty. Seven fighter jets, plus the eight H-6s that arrived at the site, brought 75 fighter jets to the Beiku Field Station, concentrating 70% of the air power of the "Western" military exercise.

"This game has finally recreated the glory of the past." Li Zhan said with emotion after landing.

Tower commander Lin Haodong said, "It's just normal at the West County station."

"Deputy Lin, it's better to be more tactful." Li Zhan said with a smile, drove the fighter plane onto the apron, released the link, opened the canopy, took off his flight helmet and took a deep breath.

What Lin Haodong told was the truth, but it was just a fact that the officers and soldiers at Beikuchang Station didn't like very much. Judging from the scale of the stations, Xixian Station and Beikuku Station are similar, with a three-thousand-meter runway and a capacity of 70 or 80 aircraft. However, Xixian Station is at the deputy division level, and there are four or five people on a daily basis. Ten third-generation aircraft conducted training activities. This is not comparable to Beikuchang Station. Since Li Zhan arrived in Beiku, the situation has changed, and now there is a prosperous scene.

Jumping on the commuter car, Li Zhan asked Pei Lei to drive to the repair shop. There are only three large aircraft parking aprons at the repair shop, so other H-6s can only park in the open space in front of the repair shop.

Li Zhan submitted a proposal for apron renovation, focusing on the centralized refueling mechanism. Fuel and lubricant supply lines were laid on each apron, and electric units such as oxygen and nitrogen were installed. To put it bluntly, it was from "gas tanks" The shift to "pipeline gas" can greatly increase the dispatch rate of fighter aircraft. The aircraft maintenance staff can carry out pre-flight support directly at the apron, without the need for station delivery, nor the need for a bunch of ground power trucks, refueling trucks, and oxygen trucks.

However, this involves huge renovation funds, which cannot be decided by the station. If it is implemented, I am afraid that the results will not be visible in a short time. But this will be a direction, whether it is a permanent airport or a field airport.

When Li Zhan arrived at the door of the repair shop, Xue Xiangdong was already talking to Chen Jialiang, the chief of staff of the 28th Division. Behind them was H-6 No. 20008.

"Old Chen, he is Li Zhan, and he was the one who flew with him just now." Xue Xiangdong pointed to Li Zhan, who was striding towards him, and introduced him to Chen Jialiang.

Chen Jialiang smiled and returned the salute to Li Zhan, who saluted him, and then shook hands, "Captain Li, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. I have admired your name for a long time."

"Hello, Chief, what's my name? I'm just a plane pilot." Li Zhan said with a smile.

"Five first-class merits, the key is that you are still alive and kicking." Chen Jialiang said with a smile, and it was obvious that he was also an upright person. "There are legends about you everywhere in the army, and many veterans are also spreading them. Captain Li, You are a legend, you know that?”

Xue Xiangdong smiled and said, "Chief of Staff Chen has been chatting with me about this matter just now. The situation is even more exaggerated than I imagined. Even the army has spread the news. Li Zhan, you are a typical example that should be spread throughout the army." erected.”

Li Zhan was frightened and said quickly, "No, no, no, leader, you still don't know me. I really don't want to be famous. I am not typical or typical. There are too many people who are more worthy of publicity than me."

"Yeah, if you don't want the name, you just want the rod fee." Chen Jialiang said with a smile.

Li Zhan was shocked in his heart, and said sternly, "Commander, Chief, this, this, this kind of rumor has actually spread? I firmly disagree with the sarcastic attack on me by a small group of people. When a soldier fights, everything must be fought." The focus is on winning, and there is no charge for pulling the lever or not. I think some people are looking at people through colored glasses!"

"No need to explain, we understand the situation very well." Chen Jialiang said with a smile, "Would you like to know the rod fee for Hongliu?"

"Yes, Chief, I have never seen this H-6 before. Which model is it? The one you drove last year should be the H-6, right?" Li Zhan naturally turned the topic to the H-6.

Chen Jialiang and Xue Xiangdong looked at each other and smiled. The former said, "Yes, it is a new model. We have only driven it for more than three months. It is K type. You see, there is a downward-looking radar under the H-type nose. The appearance features are obvious. K The model has more moving parts, the radar is integrated inside, and the other is the replacement of the fly-by-wire control system, which improves the engine's air intake and looks more rounded and regular. Well, the engine is also a new model, and the fuel It’s more economical and can fly six thousand kilometers.”

Li Zhan suddenly said, "There should be a plan to replace the aircraft. The range must be increased to 9,000 kilometers. This is a rigid requirement of the airline company."

"You know a lot." Chen Jialiang stared at Li Zhan thoughtfully.

Xue Xiangdong added, "Li Zhan is also the specific person in charge of the 228 project of the Air Force."

"Young man is very capable. He is the person in charge of a big project at such a young age." Chen Jialiang was even more surprised. Suddenly he changed the topic and said, "Since he is the person in charge of a big project, shouldn't we pay back our three tons of jet fuel?" ? You must not be short of aviation fuel."

"Huh? What three tons of aviation fuel?" Li Zhan asked in surprise, having already scolded Zheng Kaiyun in his heart.

Isn't it just three tons of aviation fuel? How about you complain to the bomber division? It seems that Zheng Kaiyun is not a generous person, she is simply stingy to the point of being outrageous.

Chen Jialiang smiled and waved his hand, "Forget it if you forget, it's my greeting gift. Captain Li, I have something to ask you for help."

"You guys talk, I still have something to do over there." Xue Xiangdong said, shaking hands with Chen Jialiang again, turned around and got on the commuter bus and left without hesitation.

Chen Jialiang watched the commuter bus go away and said with a smile, "Your group leader is also someone who won't suffer any loss."

No need to ask, you must need resources for the "228" topic.

"We have a certain amount of ammunition, and there are requirements above that it must be used in exercises. But I want to use the remaining time to conduct a live-fire training. Captain Li, I want to borrow some ammunition from you." Chen Jialiang He said straight to the point, "At most half a year. When the ammunition allocated to me next year arrives, I will return it to you as soon as possible."

Hehe, I lent this thing and I still have to get it back? Now it’s all the uncles who are in debt.

Li Zhan said tactfully, "Chief, it's not that I won't help. There are plenty of resources for the 228th project. Aviation fuel, ammunition, etc. must be made clear. I'm really sorry."

"Xiao Li, don't be sloppy with me. How can I tell you this without asking clearly about the situation?" Chen Jialiang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Project research is a research project. In the final analysis, it is not about printing it out. Can it be concluded by storing it in a warehouse? You can prepare a long-range penetration tactical bombing plan and let us execute it. You can fly on our plane to observe together, or you can fly with us to observe. In short, I will personally make the final summary for you."

I have to say that Li Zhan was moved. Before the troops develop ground combat capability, let the H-6 conduct a long-distance attack and then carry out a precise strike, which can not only accumulate experience but also enrich the content of the "228" topic.

However, what Chen Jialiang wants is expensive precision-guided munitions, not rockets that can't be shot down casually. This cannot be easily agreed to.

Li Zhan said in embarrassment, "Chief of Staff Chen, we only have so many guided munitions a year, and you know, after Su Erqi on my side has established combat effectiveness, he is counting on these guided munitions to improve his ground strike capabilities." of."

"You can apply again. I know better than you how important the major issue of the aviation department is. I dare say that the superiors will definitely continue to allocate it to you." Chen Jialiang persuaded him. In order to get more fucking shots, he didn't want to The regimental-level chief of staff lost his arrogance and said in a low voice, "I don't want much. I want one round for each of the eight fighter planes. You give me eight. Besides, I will definitely pay you back."

"Eight!" Li Zhan's eyes almost popped out of his head and he said with a wry smile, "Chief of Staff Chen, eight, one for millions. You want tens of millions from me right now. This won't work." ! Definitely not!"

There are millions of air-to-surface missiles, absolutely golden. If he wanted one or two missiles, Li Zhan gritted his teeth and gave it to him, so that he could save some for later. But eight missiles were impossible. He only had ten air-to-surface missiles in his hand, and he wanted to shoot two or three missiles a year. It will last three or four years.

Chen Jialiang also realized that this was a bit too much. He pondered for a while and said, "Then six, but you have to give me more off-zone ammunition."

"That thing is also very expensive, isn't it!" Li Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Chief of Staff Chen, you come from a rich family and are used to living a good life. You spend dozens of tons of jet fuel when you go out. We, a small family, don't have such a strong financial background. , we haven’t even fired off-zone ammunition ourselves. No, no, absolutely no. I can only lend you four air-to-surface missiles, but I can lend you more ordinary aerial bombs. Let’s make an agreement first, and you have to give me a letter. .”

"Four..."

Chen Jialiang sighed, "Okay, it's better than nothing. Then get more aerial bombs, maybe seven or eight tons?"

Li Zhan was speechless and cursed in his mind, are all the people who fly bombers spend money so lavishly?

"Hey, Chief of Staff Chen, how much does it cost you to pull the rod? How can such a big deal be built without a few thousand dollars?" Li Zhan said with a wry smile and shook his head.

Chen Jialiang smiled and said, "One thousand and five."

"What!"

"Captain, 1,500, what do you think? It's higher than yours. Are you interested in flying a bomber? It's easier to fly than a fighter jet. It's stable enough and has more flying hours." Chen Jialiang teased Li Zhan with a smile.

However, Li Zhan looked like he was thinking seriously and said solemnly, "It is not difficult to modify a bomber, and there are many cross-border pilots. If you have a chance, you can really give it a try."

Seeing Li Zhan staring at No. 20008 H-6K and subconsciously licking his lips, Chen Jialiang suddenly reacted. His nickname is the little prince of the lever. Why should I tease him when I have nothing to do?

"Then this matter is settled. I will have a meeting in the afternoon to study the live-fire training and submit the application and report. If everything goes well, it can be started the day after tomorrow. Is it okay for you to hand over the ammunition to me at any time?" Chen Jialiang quickly changed the subject. .

Li Zhan was absent-minded, still thinking about launching the H-6K. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, no problem. Just tell me directly when you want. I'll ask the field station to pull it over for you."

"It's a deal."

It's a big six thousand word chapter, so subscriptions for this chapter are double the normal.
