Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 359 Stormy Drill Day

It was a windy and rainy day during the collaborative exercise.

The wind and rain didn't stop from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. People in the Beikku area loved it, but both parties involved in the show had difficulties. The leader of the foreign affairs department of the headquarters suggested postponement, but Colonel Lekov, who led the Russian team, said that there was no problem with such weather and that they had never seen anything like this.

The leader of the foreign affairs department at the headquarters asked Fang Chenghe, who said that we often conduct combat training under low weather conditions to ensure that there is no problem. Foreign affairs leaders have been to many units, but they have never seen any unit that can conduct flight training in such weather, let alone coordinated exercises.

He said, "Commander Fang, this is no small matter. The leader wants you to show your face, but not your buttocks."

Bao Guanhua said, "Commander, there is no problem. Both the brigade commander and I can issue military orders."

Since Xue Xiangdong's death, Bao Guanhua's whole person has changed. From being able to talk for three hours at three o'clock to now speaking clearly in three sentences during a meeting, he sits there with his arms folded and looks at everyone with a stern expression, as if he had become a political commissar overnight. Became the Iron-Blooded Brigadier.

On the contrary, Fang Chenghe, who was transferred from the position of political commissar of the Second Division to serve as brigade commander, usually has a work style that is that of a political cadre.

The styles of the two chief officers were reversed.

When Bao Guanhua said this, the foreign affairs leaders were somewhat relieved. Relatively speaking, he believed Bao Guanhua's words. After all, Bao Guanhua had worked at Beikuchang Station for twelve years. From deputy political commissar of the regiment to political commissar of the regiment and then political commissar of the brigade, he had no idea about the situation of this unit. Don't understand.

"Since you two are confident, let's proceed according to the plan, but we must pay attention to safety, safety first and drill second." said the foreign affairs leader.

Fang Chenghe said, "The team leader is very experienced."

The combat training under low weather conditions was initiated by the Falcon Brigade. If they had no experience, let alone others. Looking back on the nearly two years since Li Zhan was transferred to Beiku, when it comes to training, it must be closely related to scary words such as "high intensity", "zero altitude difference", "low meteorological conditions" and "ultra-low altitude". connect. These keywords appear most frequently in their training summary reports, so much so that the skin color of the air and ground service officers and soldiers of the 101st Brigade led by the Falcon Brigade is darker than that of their comrades who perform the same job.

Sun-dried.

In the flight briefing room, the participating pilots from both sides were waiting for orders. They were already ready and rushed out as soon as the order was given. It didn't matter that the flood was raging and the war was over first.

It can be said that Li Zhan has an elite team here. Nie Jianfeng, Tang Leilei and Han Hongjun respectively represent the highest level of the three pilots of the Falcon Brigade. With Li Zhan, a strike team composed of four J-11B heavy fighter jets can probably He vigorously attacked many countries in Central Asia.

The strength of the Russian side is also good. In addition to super veterans like Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky, the other two pilots are also very experienced in the Russian Air Force. fighter pilot.

"Comrade Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky, the weather in front of you should be no problem for you to take off for operations, right?" Li Zhan asked with concern, "I heard that you often fly in very Conduct combat training in heavy rain and snow.”

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky said, "Zhan, please call me Vasily. Although you already speak Russian well, you still can't pronounce my full name. It’s obviously a bit awkward and difficult to understand.”

"Okay, Comrade Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky." Li Zhan said, "Okay, Vasily."

Vasily said, "Yes, we often conduct combat training in heavy snowy weather. Of course, the premise is that there is enough aviation fuel. You know that we are relatively short of supplies."

Maozi's front-line officer was relatively honest. He pointed to another unshaven pilot and said, "Davalev is stationed in Siberia. He is relatively clear about the relevant situation."

Li Zhan nodded slightly, "Lieutenant Colonel Dawarif."

"Yes, Major Li Zhan." Davalev said, "Although the heavy snow weather looks scary, you only need to overcome the difficulty of taking off and landing and fly up, and everything will be easy to handle. Today's weather is more complicated than The heavy snow will be more serious. The clouds are thick and the wind is strong."

This is very objective. There are quite a lot of rain and snow in Beiku in winter, which may look scary. In fact, in many weather conditions, rain and snow are not insurmountable objective difficulties. Of course, that kind of weather with heavy snow, sleet and strong winds that makes it difficult to stand is not among them.

Vasily spread his hands and said, "We are used to bad weather. Your latitude is more advantageous. If you carry out the drill as planned, you have to be careful."

"Haha, yes." Li Zhan and his comrades looked at each other and laughed.

The heavy rain outside has not weakened at all, but the wind and rainfall are increasing. When the sound of rain hitting the ground could be heard in the flight briefing room, the relaxed expressions on the faces of Vasily, Davalev and another Russian pilot were gone. Vasily no longer smiled and said that the weather was no problem.

It’s not that they don’t care about anything. Once they have to conduct drills under critical weather conditions, they will be criticized when they go back if they mess up. What’s more, some of the older people among them regard Chinese military pilots as apprentices. , it’s called losing face if you lose face in front of your disciples.

At five minutes past 11 noon, Pei Lei ran over to Li Zhan and stood at the door and winked.

When Li Zhan walked out, Pei Lei whispered, "Captain, the brigade commander asked me to ask you, how confident are you of the weather now?"

Li Zhan looked at the already dark sky, and could vaguely see lightning in the deep clouds. Objectively speaking, the current weather conditions have exceeded the limits of the low weather conditions training conducted by the Falcon Brigade, but not by much.

"Tell the brigade commander that I am confident that I will go up safely and come back safely, but the quality of the drill may have to be compromised. The specific situation will not be known until we go up." Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "Report the exact words to the brigade commander."

"Yes!" Pei Lei turned around and ran away.

Li Zhan came back and said to Vasily, "Comrade Vasily, the weather is a bit extreme. Do you think we need to postpone the drill by one day?"

After Vasily and Davalev exchanged a few words in a low voice, he said, "What do the Chinese comrades think?"

"We don't have any big problems and can take off at any time." Li Zhan said with a smile.

Just kidding, how can we say there is something wrong with the current situation?

I would rather die than admit defeat.

Vasily smiled and said, "We have no problem, Zhan, just go out at any time. Fighting in the wind and rain is the choice of a real man."

"I agree."

The pilots on both sides laughed and slapped each other in the face to make them fat. First of all, they couldn't lose their momentum.

Half an hour later, the bosses from both sides on the tower finally agreed, and the order to start the collaborative exercise was given to the flight briefing room. The pilots of both sides rushed out with their flight helmets in hand and jumped on the commuter bus to the semi-open hangar.
