Great Power Fighting Falcon

To say that Big Brother in the Army is hard, it is really hard, especially for the special forces such as Yuan Boning who help the electronic reconnaissance. They are not special forces in the general sense, not that they are more awesome, but that they are just accessories of the electronic reconnaissance force.

The special forces that people often talk about are independent arms, such as special operations brigade, special operations brigade, etc. They have independent training authority.

Yuan Boning and the others are not like that. Like the artillery reconnaissance unit, they are field troops affiliated with the superior business department, and they have to follow them in everything from training to training. The artillery reconnaissance force is responsible for close reconnaissance and damage effect assessment for the troops' strikes, while the reconnaissance force of the electronic reconnaissance force is responsible for all force-related work. It is impossible for those technical people to carry guns to work. The key people have high status, and you who work hard have little status.

Therefore, after a simple conversation, Li Zhan knew what Yuan Boning had in mind.

First of all, Yuan Boning wants to take this opportunity to prove to their superiors that they, as warriors, can also do some technical work, such as guiding missiles to strike, and they don't just carry guns and rush over to kill them.

Secondly, Yuan Boning's team probably didn't catch anything good in the past month or so. Even though they were almost exhausted, they finally had a chance to make a contribution, but were killed by Li Zhan in one shot. It's impossible not to feel resentful. of. Yuan Boning didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was obvious - the main credit for the attack on the simulated targets in the western mountains should go to their team. Li Zhan clearly agreed. He doesn't lack for credit, he really doesn't.

The last aspect is that Yuan Boning has no way to get close enough to attack the simulated targets in the mountains to the west. He doesn't even have a chance to get there. Li Zhan knew this very well, but he did not expose it, which saved enough face for Yuan Boning and his several bitter brothers.

You are naturally so happy to be flying in the sky. My brothers and I can't compare to your kicking the accelerator even if we drive a Land Cruiser that has been in service for ten years and run wildly on land for a day.

It was still dark when he returned to Nanku Station. Li Zhan asked for the station's confidential communications room, and immediately contacted and requested instructions from the staff of the Military Training Department of the Military Region who were directly in charge of the "228" project. The confidential message requesting instructions and reporting was also passed on at the same time.

There are clear instructions from superiors, and the content of the "228" topic must be requested and reported as soon as possible.

Li Zhan hid in the confidential communication room alone, stood at the exhaust fan, secretly lit a cigarette and started smoking, waiting for a call back from his superiors.

I got a call back in just ten minutes, and after confirmation, I sent a text message at the same time. Li Zhan just sat back and waited for the ammunition to be delivered. How to use the stocked Kh-31P air-to-surface missiles to attack targets that emit radio signal source characteristics, Li Zhan thought of a simple and crude way-replace the seeker.

This is also the fastest way.

He was originally worried that his superiors would not approve it. After all, the seeker he requested to replace was much more expensive than the missile body. He attached the investigation report on today's missile deflection incident, as well as a request for support from the Army, and his superiors approved it.

Just kidding, if I have a chance to show off my skills in front of the big brother of the Army, and the big brother of the Army lowers his profile and asks for support, he has to do it even if he sells the iron. Besides, it's just a seeker worth one or two million!

To the Air Force, which has deep pockets, are millions money?

Li Zhan has never been so rich. It's like a rifle with a monthly subscription fee of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. Suddenly one day he met a golden alliance, and his waist suddenly became hard. Everyone thought he was poor. It was just such a way to become rich suddenly. mentality.

His superiors sent him four Kh-31P air-to-surface missiles with seekers replaced!

On a whim, the son of the richest man flies from Shanghai to Paris to have some drinks and then come back. But if you ask him to throw a few top-notch sports cars into the sea every now and then, you will see whether it hurts his body or not, and you see how he can persist. when!

Li Zhan was ready to throw it away.

As night fell, a Mi-171 transport helicopter landed at Nanku Station under the escort of two WZ-9G armed helicopters. The maintenance staff who had been on standby for a long time pushed the ammunition trailer up and assisted the transport personnel in unloading the four unsealed Kh-31P air-to-surface missiles.

Niu Yaoyang was the one who led the team, and they had to do it to hang the bombs. Nanku Field Station did not have maintenance personnel in this field, and Li Zhan did not trust a group of novices to do this work.

"Captain, you are all the elites in the team. I can guarantee you a plane." Niu Yaoyang saluted Li Zhan.

Li Zhan accompanied Yuan Boning and stood behind the Mi-171, watching the maintenance staff drag the missile out of the cargo bay, land it through the tailgate, and then carefully drag it to the edge of the No. 01 SU-27 apron. Go to the sentry house.

"Lao Niu, please introduce the missile situation to Lieutenant Colonel Yuan." Li Zhan said.

Niu Yaoyang saluted Yuan Boning and reported, "Chief, according to the instructions from our superiors, we removed the seekers of the domestic air-to-ground missiles to be used in the western military exercises and installed them on these four old imported products. This anti-radiation missile The original seeker only had one mode: passive guidance. The new seeker has multiple guidance modes, and its active guidance capability is very strong. As long as the target has the characteristics of a radio signal source, it will definitely not be able to escape. One by one. It is accurate, with a hit rate of over 99% against fixed targets.”

"So high?" Yuan Boning was surprised. This kind of hit rate means that the reason for missing the shot can only be operational problems.

"Very high." Niu Yaoyang said with certainty.

Yuan Boning asked Li Zhan, "Why not just use the domestic model? Will there be matching problems when replacing the seeker?"

"Because the domestic ones are more expensive, and these stocks must be destroyed as soon as possible." Li Zhan explained with a smile, "The other reason is because I plan to try this missile again to see if I can discover some new functions. .”

Niu Yaoyang explained helpfully, "Yes, Chief, only two missiles have been replaced with seekers. The other two are still original. The team leader wants to test some specific items. There is no problem with the matching. Our technicians will conduct a comprehensive inspection Yes, and the domestic model itself was developed based on this missile."

"If you think it's okay, then it's okay with me." Yuan Boning nodded to Niu Yaoyang and said to Li Zhan.

Li Zhan signaled Yuan Boning to get in the car, and then told Niu Yaoyang in a deep voice, "When hanging the bombs, mount the two seekers cross-mounted. My shooting order is to shoot the new seeker first, and then the old seeker. , then hit the new seeker, and finally knock out the last old seeker."

"Cross-mount, I understand." Niu Yaoyang nodded heavily and further said, "Captain, let me clarify the rack numbers for you now, one, two new seekers, three and four old seekers."

Li Zhan wrote it down, "Okay, one or two new seekers, three or four old seekers. Take the brothers to have a meal, and then do it after they are full. There is no rush now."

Niu Yaoyang said, "Captain, we are ready for everything, and we will hang up the bombs very quickly."

"There's no rush, the orders haven't been issued yet," Li Zhan said.

Niu Yaoyang was holding back his energy. After hearing this, he suppressed it and said, "Yes, then I will take the troops to eat first."

Ever since he ensured that Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng performed a live-fire shooting mission in UBK, Niu Yaoyang has been particularly interested in this kind of live-fire shooting mission. The credit came so quickly. Within a few days of completing the guarantee task, I received the third-class medal and certificate, without any sloppiness. Although it was not announced in public, it was still a real achievement, and the presentation of the certificate was very powerful.

In the Second Division, there are only those outstanding third-class non-commissioned officers all year round. How can they be as realistic as those here. It's not uncommon to get a second-class performance or something after doing it well. The key is that there are too many opportunities to make meritorious deeds here.

After explaining this, Li Zhan returned to the commuter car and went to the officers' mess with Yuan Boning for dinner. As the sky gradually darkened, he and Yuan Boning's team gathered in the secure communications room. This place has been taken over by them, and Shi Zezhong cannot come in.

Everyone chatted without saying a word. Those who wanted to smoke stood over the vent and smoked, waiting for orders from their superiors.

This was the first time for Yuan Boning to do such a thing. He held a hand-drawn battle map in his hand and unfolded it from time to time. Seeing this, Li Zhan waved to him to spread the map on the table and said, "I'll take a look at it too."

After Li Zhan saw the large-scale hand-drawn combat map clearly, he said in surprise, "Lieutenant Colonel Yuan, have you conducted on-site reconnaissance?"

Nodding with a wry smile, Yuan Boning said, "In order to draw this map, we ran in that mountainous area for a whole month. You see how haggard our brothers are, it's all because of this."

Li Zhan looked carefully at the hand-drawn map that was so accurate that even slightly larger trees were marked, and sighed, "You guys are just like humanoid mapping satellites. This accuracy is breathtaking."

They are all masters at looking at pictures, and the quality can be seen at a glance.

"Look, the red dot here is the target. We spent a lot of effort to determine this simulated target. There is no way. The requirements given by our superiors are very strict. Only this location meets the simulated target data." Yuan Boning blinked. Said, "We can only get within three hundred meters at most. For safety reasons, I'll let you do this."

Li Zhan smiled and said, "No need to explain, I understand. Let your soldiers rest and leave the rest to me. With four missiles, I can guarantee that this simulated communication station will be destroyed 100%."

After looking at the map, Li Zhan was even more certain - the order would probably not be issued so quickly. Four air-to-surface missiles were used for target shooting. The aviation director approved it. The army would never dare to accept such help if they did not go through the entire process.

Li Zhan said, "The Western Military Exercise has issued an announcement to local governments to delineate the exercise area. If you delay for a few more days, I will be helpless."

"We are also participating in the exercise. Why don't we do some actual combat training before the exercise." Yuan Boning pointed outside and said, "This time our army's electronic reconnaissance will coordinate with your air force's reconnaissance aircraft. Let's give it a try." Whether the operational status of the data link used is as expected.”

"Oh, I see. So you will be stationed here at Nankuchang Station for some time to come." Li Zhan said.

Yuan Boning shook his head helplessly, "That's impossible. We handymen are not as comfortable as you, and we still run around. You have seen my two cars. They have traveled 600,000 kilometers in ten years of service. They also entered the army at the same time on the day I graduated and left the army. Now that I am a deputy commander, they are still using it."

"But that car is really reliable." Li Zhan said.

"Yes, the reliability of many military models is not as good as theirs. In the Gobi Desert, a vast no-man's land in the Beiku region, reliability is the most important thing." Yuan Boning said in a deep voice, "In my impression, apart from running out of fuel, Those two cars haven't tried to throw them halfway."

Li Zhan felt the same way, "That's the J-7 among cars, classic and reliable."

"Team Li, the J-7 is a very old model. Is it more reliable than the Su-27 you are flying now?" Yuan Boning asked.

This stopped Li Zhan. He thought about it and said, "How should I put it? From an objective point of view, relatively speaking, the failure rate of the J-7 is lower than that of the Su-27. But if I look at it from my personal experience, If you look at it, I haven’t had any accidents while driving Su Liangqi, but I have had several accidents with Jianqi.”

"Something happened? Did it fall?" Yuan Boning's brows jumped sharply.

"I did it once, but I parachuted at the last moment." Li Zhan said with a smile, "We pilots have long been mentally prepared. As long as we go to the sky, at least half of our lives are in the hands of the fighter plane and the weather, and the other half has to defeat the enemy. Get it back from the enemy. It's actually not a big deal if a plane crashes or something happens."

He had encountered it so many times that he was really numb.

Yuan Boning admired him from the bottom of his heart, "I didn't expect you pilots to be so dangerous. It seems that my previous understanding of you was one-sided."

"In a nutshell, if you want to be a soldier, you have to be prepared to sacrifice at any time. If you don't have the determination, you can't be a soldier." Li Zhan said lightly.

This sentence made all the special forces soldiers with murderous eyes look at him, and their admiration and recognition for him spontaneously emerged. People like Yuan Boning have often been in blood and fire, and they know that without strong faith and an absolutely strong belief in victory, they would not be able to survive so many battles.

On that salary?

Just a joke.

"Your salary for flying a plane is quite high, right?" Yuan Boning changed the topic to a lighter topic.

Other soldiers also looked at Li Zhan curiously.

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Same as you, I mean military rank, salary, salary, etc., which are similar to other branches of the military. The difference is probably the subsidies for remote areas. Also, we have rod fees, and your combat service subsidies It almost means the same thing, but we calculate it on an hourly basis, that is, how much subsidy is given for every hour of flying."

"How many?"

"More than three hundred." Li Zhan did not dare to say the rod fee for third-generation aircraft, fearing that his brothers in the Army would be unbalanced and their salary levels were indeed relatively low.

Yuan Boning was about to continue asking, but Li Zhan continued with a smile, "On average, each person can fly about two hundred hours a year, which is also the standard for pilot training. In fact, it doesn't cost much, much less than civil aviation pilots."

"Oh, that's only 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a year, which is really not much. Civil aviation pilots can easily earn hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars per year." Yuan Boning said with a smile.

Li Zhan smiled and said nothing. If Yuan Boning knew that the current price of 900 yuan an hour can fly more than 500 hours a year, he would definitely change his view of Li Zhan - he is a real rich man!

Just as he was about to continue talking about something, the communications soldier suddenly shouted, covering his headset, "Captain! The order has been given from above!"

Everyone jumped up instantly.
