Great Power Fighting Falcon

It was already eleven o'clock at night when we landed at Beikuchang Station, and the fuel was almost at the alarm level. This trip was considered a truly long-distance flight. Although the straight-line distance was only over a thousand kilometers, the flight time was more than four hours.

Even though he was as strong as Li Zhan, he was also a little tired.

In the morning, I conducted live-fire shooting with the bomber division. In the afternoon, I went to Ulen Lake with the Tiger Target Reporting Team to see the scene. After returning, I non-stop discussed the new live-fire shooting plan, communicated and coordinated all parties, and was busy until nightfall, and then The dispatch enters the implementation phase. In total, Li Zhan's flight time today reached eight hours, and he was working the rest of the time.

Niu Yaoyang and the others had already returned by helicopter of the Army Airlines, leaving no trace at Nankuchang Station, as if nothing had happened.

The regiment did not ask Li Zhan to understand the situation. Tonight's live-fire shooting training was classified into his "228" project research plan. At that time, all written materials will be submitted directly to him, and Xue Xiangdong will not ask or comment. The regiment will be asked to make any archives, even including the bomber division's live-fire training summary.

Li Zhan fell asleep.

The "Western-2010" military exercise had not even started yet, but Li Zhan already felt like he was fighting a war. After the adrenaline subsided, a strong sense of fatigue set in.

However, there is no doubt that September 18 this year, no matter how hard or tiring it is, is a day of extraordinary significance to him. Perhaps a few years later, when some relevant files are declassified, his achievements and sacrifices along with those of many others will become known to the world. Perhaps no one will ever know.

In the final analysis, the "West-2010" military exercise is the most important military operation this year. In the next few days, Li Zhan led the officers and soldiers of the Destruction King Brigade to burn youth and aviation fuel to practice their enemy-killing skills and be ready for battle, pushing the targeted training before the start of the exercise to a climax. .

The enthusiasm of soldiers for large-scale military exercises is probably indescribable. From a personal point of view, participating in large-scale military exercises means participating in a credit distribution activity. A high-standard military exercise, competition, or training camp is a merit-distribution competition.

According to incomplete statistics, a total of 21 first-class merit medals and more second-class and third-class merit medals were awarded during last year's "Western" military exercise, as well as countless awards from divisions, brigade and regiments. It's like a combat sports meeting. Each participating unit is a participating team. It depends on who wins the most "medals", who has the most "gold medals", etc.

Without the Blues, it just depends on who can run faster and who can hit the target better.

Colonel Baiou, the commander of the 300th Division, personally led the team to participate in the "Western" military exercise. What he had been worried about was that the exercise training headquarters would suddenly change the plan and order them to conduct a confrontation exercise with the Western Destruction King. Since the Second Division suffered a heavy loss here, all the fighter division units in the air force aviation units have become frightened, and even other aviation units have become frightened.

The famous Nan Batian was pushed to the ground and beaten violently in his sleep without any ability to fight back. Can such a result not be frightening?

Could it be said that you are better at fighting than Nan Batian?

Even the No. 1 division in the world like the 300 Division dare not say that it can defeat the Second Division 100%, at least Baiou does not have such absolute certainty.

The two chief officers, Qi Hong and Fang Chenghe, had long since become celebrities and were named "praised" by the chief of the aviation department with gritted teeth. "The troops are led so well that they feel good to the core.

There is no reason for Baiou not to be vigilant and always ready to defend the reputation of the 300 Division as the best division in the world.

If the King of Rags, oh, he should be called the King of Destruction now, were to hold him down and whip him fiercely, the signature of the best division in the world would be completely ruined in his hands.

Just carrying out targeted training in such a panic while guarding against a sudden attack by the 73rd Division made the officers and soldiers complain a lot because they were depleted. "Wolf is coming" until the exercise training headquarters officially issued the order to start the "West-2010" joint military exercise.

This time is exactly one o'clock in the morning on September 24th.

This kind of exercise is not difficult. Each combat unit implements it according to the combat plan. To put it bluntly, it is a scripted large-scale live-fire exercise designed to test the training effect of the troops in the past year. Real-force confrontation exercises are a way to improve the combat capabilities of troops close to actual combat.

Li Zhan got the entire battle plan, and he even had time to sit in the office and study the huge battle plan carefully with Nie Jianfeng.

Although the exercise was carried out according to the script, no one including Li Zhan was at all frustrated because they could fire live ammunition with great force.

"The total amount of ammunition expected to be consumed in this exercise is 3,000 tons. This does not include the small ammunition used by the infantry troops. Tsk tsk, what a real big deal." After Li Zhan quickly browsed the overall combat plan, he handed it to the person sitting in the office. Nie Jianfeng across the table.

Nie Jianfeng said while watching, "There are tens of thousands of ground troops alone, hundreds of fighter planes, more than a thousand tanks and armored vehicles, more than 100 artillery pieces of various types, and 36 large-caliber multiple rocket launchers. Just Our air strike group consumes hundreds of tons of ammunition, not to mention the artillery. Theoretically, their ammunition delivery per unit time is better than ours."

"That's not necessarily true. You forgot that there are still eight H-6Ks." Li Zhan said with a smile, "If Chief of Staff Chen launches regular aerial bombs, they can deliver eighty tons of ammunition in one wave. Besides, the artillery can’t compare with us in terms of delivery distance.”

Nie Jianfeng said, "Their large-caliber rocket launcher seems to be 300 millimeters, and it can hit four to five hundred kilometers with extended-range projectiles."

"We have already caught up with the tactical missiles." Li Zhan said with a wry smile.

Nie Jianfeng raised his head and said, "Yes, the Second Artillery Group is making a big deal this time. Look, there are four launch battalions. I don't know their organization. One battalion should have twelve launch vehicles, right?"

"I don't know either. Who dares to ask more about the Second Artillery? It should be about the same." Li Zhan said, "Forty-eight small launch rockets, tsk tsk, is definitely a big deal."

Nie Jianfeng also quickly reviewed the overall combat plan. In fact, it mainly depends on the deployment of troops and material resources. They are all poor guys who can't shoot many rounds all year round. When facing such a big meal, they naturally care about what is on the table.

"Very good, we got a share of fifty tons." Nie Jianfeng grinned, "As agreed before, you have to let those of us on combat readiness duty take some time to participate in two rounds."

Li Zhan said, "As long as there is no time, I will definitely let you play one round."

They couldn't participate in the whole process, but they couldn't let the four people on their combat readiness duty not participate in the whole process, so Li Zhan came up with a compromise method and let Nie Jianfeng and other four comrades in charge of the SU-27UBK fighter jets on combat readiness duty participate in a live fire shooting , throw so many rounds of ammunition. Of course it won't be an aircraft fire, it will be either an air-to-surface missile or a precision-guided munition.

"How do you plan to divide these fifty tons?" Nie Jianfeng asked.

The so-called fifty tons refers to the strike mission given by the exercise training headquarters to the Destruction King Brigade. They have to throw and shoot a total of fifty tons of ammunition at the designated target. Including aerial fire, aerial cannon, air-to-ground missiles, and precision guided bombs (aerial bombs with autonomous guidance and gliding capabilities, also known as precision guided munitions, are actually improvements based on ordinary aerial bombs).

Each fighter plane can only carry three tons of ammunition at a time. It's not that the load capacity is insufficient, but that the racks are not enough. Moreover, the training headquarters has detailed requirements for the mounts of each strike. It's not that you want to carry all the ammunition. Mount it as soon as it is fully loaded. An exercise with a script and no Blue Army is meaningless. Everything must be done according to the regulations.

However, if you don’t follow the regulations, there will be many safety hazards. What if you accidentally hit the wrong location? Like the air-to-ground missile that Li Zhan missed last time, if that target was not a simulated target of the Tiger Squad but a civilian target with strong radar beam signal characteristics, and you could kill it with one shot, that would be a big deal. Something happened.

Therefore, everything involving live ammunition shooting must strictly follow the procedures and requirements, and no one can be exempted. Of course, those temporarily ordered live-fire training have a strong sense of actual assault and test the troops' rapid response combat capabilities, and the procedural guidelines of conventional live-fire training are not used.

Such a large-scale military exercise will consume more than two thousand tons of ammunition, and there is absolutely no room for error. To put it bluntly, as long as your unit completes the seven-day military exercise smoothly and safely, then you can just wait to receive the credit, and there is no need for any outstanding performance on your part.

A good performance is considered a good performance if there are no problems.

A Flying Leopard crashed the year before last, HNA stopped coming last year, and it didn’t participate again this year. There have been more than a dozen accidents, large and small, among the ground troops, which can be considered good.

The coordinated exercise of the three basic tactical units of the 101st Regiment, the 27th Radar Station, and the Army Field Air Defense Force's Doyle Camp could have such a big mistake that almost killed Li Zhan. It is conceivable that such a large-scale multi-military operation Difficulty in organizing and implementing military exercises.

With so many military services vying to participate in the "Western" military exercise, a very important factor is participating in sharing the cake.

Li Zhan sighed, "In non-war years, it is really not easy for everyone to get some credit. Think about it, if this is a war year, a mere thirty first-class merits are nothing. Let alone an army or a division with a third-class merit." This number can be exceeded in the first two months. How can it be like now, when the indirect participation of two military regions and three services reaches hundreds of thousands, and there are 30,000 ground combat troops. Competing for more than thirty first-class merits, well, think about it It’s all depressing.”

"Let me tell you, anyone can say this but you can't! Don't you feel confident after doing a few first-class achievements?" Nie Jianfeng said with a glare.

Waving his hand, Li Zhan said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's continue to discuss the battle plan. We still need to find a way to create something new."
