Great Power Fighting Falcon

Thirty-seven days of family leave seems to be too long in Li Zhan's opinion. The master only gave him one year. After one year, he must sign up for the Flying Shark training. In the next year, seven things in Beiku must be completed. Only 788 people can live up to the trust of the 73rd Division.

Li Zhan chose to take a vacation around the Spring Festival, spend the New Year at home and return to the team early.

For the Chinese, the Spring Festival is the beginning of a new year. The annual training and mobilization of the army is held after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, usually in March. For more than a month before this, especially January, many troops were busy with year-end summaries and assessments.

After the summary and commendation meeting, the 101st Regiment of the 73rd Division and Beikuchang Station received great news.

On January 5, Vice Minister Liang presided over a meeting of cadres above the regiment stationed at Beikuchang Station. Li Zhan, the captain of the Falcon Brigade, and Nie Jianfeng, the instructor, attended the meeting. Judging from the composition of the participants, the things to be discussed are related to the Falcon Brigade.

Vice Minister Liang said straight to the point, "In addition to participating in the summary and commendation meeting of the Beikku Area this time, I was entrusted by the Military Region Party Committee to announce an order."

He picked up the order and read out, "With the approval of..., the 101st Fighter Regiment of the 73rd Fighter Division has been reorganized into the 101st Aviation Brigade. With the approval of... training base, permanently stationed by the 101st Aviation Brigade."

The entire conference room gasped and was stunned. For most people, this news was very sudden, and it was simply a shocking surprise.

The upgrading of the troops is a major event, a great good thing. To what extent it is as major as the demobilization of the troops, it is a major event that is closely related to the vital interests of every officer and soldier.

The most important thing is that there was no news before this, and even Li Zhan didn't hear any relevant gossip. It was too sudden, or it may mean that the higher-level leadership made this decision very suddenly. It can even be speculated that the 101st Regiment's ability to receive such attention is closely related to the performance of the Falcon Brigade in the past year or so.

Xue Xiangdong, Bao Guanhua and other group leaders who knew about it in advance were still very excited at this time. The regiment was upgraded to a brigade, and the level went up, which meant that many people would be promoted on the spot. The previous promotions of Xue Xiangdong and Bao Guanhua now appear to be preparations for promotion in the army. Many people had a moment of enlightenment.

Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng were very surprised. They did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

Vice Minister Liang said, “The Air Force Commander ordered that the Unity and Unity Brigade should be built to fully simulate the blue army and serve as a grindstone for the entire army’s aviation force. At the same time, the Beikuku base has been listed as a combat training base for the entire army’s aviation force. . In other words, Hainan Airlines will also come here for training in the future, and all troops stationed in Beiku for training will conduct confrontation exercises with the Yao Ling Yao Brigade, also known as the Falcon Brigade."

"You have achieved initial results in simulating the construction of the Blue Army. I hope you can continue your efforts and truly be a good grindstone."

"I will announce the appointments below." Vice Minister Liang continued to read, "Comrade Xue Xiangdong is appointed as the Commander of the Falcon Brigade, Comrade Bao Guanhua is appointed as the Political Commissar of the Falcon Brigade, and Comrade Yang Jinshan is appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Falcon Brigade. The appointments of other cadres are here I will not follow the script. Brigadier Xue will announce the situation of the Falcon Brigade."

Xue Xiangdong took over and said, "The Falcon Brigade is the main force of our brigade. The simulated Blue Army Brigade is based on the Falcon Brigade. As the unit is upgraded, its strength will increase. A tactical reconnaissance squadron will be added. In the future, several airborne units will be gradually added. The service squadron formed a new group. The Falcon Group was expanded and the number of fighter aircraft increased to twenty-four. Our regiment was originally a large-organized group, and the three flight groups under its jurisdiction were also large-organized groups, but they were second-generation The aircraft era has passed. After being equipped with third-generation aircraft, the normal organization was restored. Now that the regiment has been upgraded to a brigade, the organization of the three flying groups has returned to a large organization group."

"Captain Li Zhan, instructor Nie Jianfeng, the cadre configuration remains unchanged." Xue Xiangdong pointed to Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng who stood up, and said, "Captain Li, you only have sixteen Su Liangqi now, and they have been organized into two squadrons. In the next six months, eight more will be added to you to reach the establishment requirement of twenty-four, and you will form a third squadron."

"Yes!" Li Zhan was very excited.

Twenty-four SU-27s and twenty-four J-7s are two completely different concepts.

Xue Xiangdong said, "This time we will equip you with the J-11, and it is the latest B type. Your brigade must be prepared to receive the equipment."

Li Zhan couldn't help but ask, "Brigadier, isn't it just second-hand goods again?"

Everyone laughed.

Deputy Minister Liang said, "Brand new. I can assure you that the Yao Ling Yao Brigade will not take over second-hand goods from brother units in the future."

Li Zhan struck while the iron was hot and said, "Chief, our dozen or so Su Liangqi don't have much life left."

"Don't worry, you won't be without planes. Don't you have a backup plane there? You are the only one in the entire military region's air force who has this kind of treatment." Vice Minister Liang said with a smile.

Li Zhan secretly thought, that's the J-7E, boss, it's impossible for you to ask me to drive back to the J-7E.

Xue Xiangdong said, "The situation of our brigade is very good. It is not generally good. It is very good. It will get better and better in the future. To digress, our brigade has made such a big change in just over a year. Thanks to the Falcon Brigade. This brigade is the foundation of our brigade, and the focus of our brigade’s construction in the future will also be the Falcon Brigade. I hope everyone will clearly realize this."

Vaccination is a must. Upgrading your troops means you will receive more resources. In the past, the 101st Regiment was such a shabby fighter regiment, equipped with J-6 Plus and early model J-7B. When we were simulating the Blue Army brigade, everyone in the group had no objection to pooling resources for the use of the first brigade. Anyway, it was just three melons and two dates given to you, so what.

Things are completely different now. Regiment reform and brigade reform are not as simple as adding more personnel to your organization. The ultimate goal of the change in troop organization is to improve the overall combat capability. It is an integral part of military construction. In a larger sense, it is the construction of armed forces in national defense construction. A part of.

Let your regiment be transformed into a brigade, and the station be transformed into a base, and even the repair shop will be assigned to you. Isn't the purpose of letting you play a more important role?

In this case, the second and third teams must have ideas, and they will definitely not be willing to be affiliated with the first team. This involves the allocation of resources. It is obviously not possible to concentrate them all on one group (Falcon Brigade) as before, but there must be a bias.

Xue Xiangdong was playing the role of vaccination at the meeting to prevent internal competition for resources from affecting unity.

"The troops have been reorganized and the regiment has become a brigade, which means the tasks are heavier." Xue Xiangdong said, "The Air Force has re-planned the combat readiness patrol airspace of our brigade, all the way south to the Bazhou area south of the provincial capital city. , the entire northern airspace is our combat readiness patrol airspace, and it is the new Dabeiku area."

A map quickly appeared in Li Zhan's mind and he made a rough estimate. With such an increase, the combat readiness patrol airspace area that the 101st Brigade was responsible for increased by less than half, which was almost one-third of the province where it was stationed. There are only two fighter divisions in the entire western region. In fact, the 73rd Division has been independently supporting the air defense of an area of ​​1.66 million square kilometers.

The tasks in the future will be heavier and the flight will take longer, which is good news.

Li Zhan noticed that the air defense scope of the 101st Brigade included provincial capital cities. Does this mean that the provincial capital sites were also assigned to the 101st Brigade? This is yet to be determined.

In fact, he has strongly felt that the major changes in the army's organization have entered the final brewing stage, and may soon be fully promoted. A new era is calling.

"The air defense range is wider and the pressure is greater. The troops must be a good blue force while being ready for combat duty. This is the requirement put forward by the Air Force Commander to our brigade. I hope that everyone here must maintain a good attitude and show the backwardness of our use in the past. Equip yourself with the willpower to fight Nan Batian to increase your combat effectiveness." Xue Xiangdong requested.

One meeting lasted for more than two hours. There was no peeing throughout the whole process, and all the talk was practical. After the meeting, Vice Minister Liang and Xue Xiangdong stayed with Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng and talked for more than half an hour before ending.

As soon as Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng went downstairs, they were stopped by Zheng Kaiyun, who said, "Team Li, if you have time, come to my place and have a cup of tea."

It's snowing outside at the moment, and it's completely white. Snow plows are clearing snow along the road at certain intervals, which is daily life in winter.

Li Zhan looked at Zheng Kaiyun, who was smiling like a snowman, wrapped himself in a military coat, and said, "If Station Commander Zheng has any instructions, just tell me. I'm not an outsider, so don't be polite."

Nie Jianfeng smiled and said to Zheng Kaiyun, "Stationmaster Zheng, you guys talk, I'll go first."

Saluting and waving his hands, Nie Jianfeng went about his business.

"There are no instructions. What instructions can I have?" Zheng Kaiyun said quickly, "Let's go for a walk and drink some tea in my office. My hometown sent me new tea leaves. Let's give it a try."

It would be strange if nothing happened, but there will be many things that require Zheng Kaiyun's coordination in the future, and Li Zhan also wants to have a good relationship with Zheng Kaiyun. We had quarreled several times before about aviation fuel, and we fought back and forth. They even used Sun Tzu's Art of War to set up the stage, and the fight was very enjoyable.

The troops have been upgraded, and the stations have become bases. Everyone is in a good mood, and it is natural to take the opportunity to repair their relationship. In fact, Li Zhan could probably guess what Zheng Kaiyun wanted to say. After the troops were reorganized, superiors clearly pointed out the subsidiary status of the base, which meant that the base must fully obey the arrangements of the combat troops and perform all-round support work.

In the current system, the big stations are very powerful, and the chiefs of some big stations have more power than the division commanders. The distribution of logistics resources is in the hands of the station manager, so Li Zhan had to beg Zheng Kaiyun for more aviation fuel. Judging from the superiors' requirements for the Beiku Battle Training Base, after the station commander became the base commander, his power was actually restricted.

At least the right to allocate aviation fuel is not as absolute as before.

I can no longer speak as harshly as before.

PS: I’m starting to ask for monthly tickets. In the last three days of 2019, go for it!
