Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 388 Lose the confrontation and win the future

In the final analysis, you still care about winning or losing, and you don’t want to lose too badly if you lose. If they can achieve the result of shooting down Li Zhan in this battle against Da Hongying, they will be stronger than the previous three troops no matter from which angle they are compared.

After three confrontation drills, especially since the troops who came to the confrontation drill before were all famous ace troops of the Air Force, the Beikku confrontation drill has become a resounding signature. Most grassroots officers and soldiers believe that the Beikku confrontation drill is a standard. It is a ruler to measure the combat effectiveness of each unit.

The cadres of Dahongying all stared closely at Liang Pengfei, waiting for the final result.

Liang Pengfei lowered his head and glanced at the result that must have shocked everyone. He took a slight breath and glanced at the cadres from both sides participating in the meeting, and said, "After the final analysis by the command and control department, it was determined that the blue command plane was shot down. "

The Falcon Brigade suddenly collapsed, and everyone looked disappointed. Although I was mentally prepared, when this fact was finally confirmed, it was still difficult to accept it. The captain has never been defeated, how could he lose to the little-known brother army?

Isn't the Big Red Eagle Division just a little brother army?

However, an even more surprising result emerged.

Liang Pengfei said, "The final result of this confrontation exercise is that the red side wins. Congratulations, Deputy Commander Chen."

Except for those from the command and control department, everyone else had a big "?" in front of their eyes.

There was no response for a while.

Liang Pengfei smiled and said again, "Why, you don't believe that you won, and the Falcon Brigade doesn't believe that it lost this confrontation? Let me say it again, the Red Eagle Division as the red side won this confrontation, and the Blue Eagle Division won The journey is defeated.”

Listen clearly, Commander Liang is talking about the red side winning!

They all had expressions of astonishment, and that was nothing more than dumbfounded.

This time, apart from the person from the Guidance Department whose expression didn't change much when he heard about the result, there was another person who was very calm. But when I saw that person, Yushu Linfeng was graceful and suave. Saipan An was the well-respected and beloved famous ace pilot Li Zhan who loved to fly planes at supersonic speeds.

The officers and soldiers of the Falcon Brigade all looked at Li Zhan, but Li Zhan didn't seem to have any reaction, not even an explanation in his eyes.

Compared to the shock, confusion and then anger of the Falcon Brigade, the Big Red Eagles only had shock, confusion and inexplicable excitement.

Won? we won? How could we win? How could we win the confrontation when eleven fighter planes were obviously knocked out? Is that a mistake?

Even a heavy man like Chen Yongkui couldn't hold it in anymore and asked cautiously, "Commander Liang, what's going on? Of course we hope to win, but judging from the results, we can't be considered a winner, right? This is it, Ahem, of course, I don’t know what the guidance department thinks about it?”

Liang Pengfei pointed to the Falcon Brigade and said with a smile, "They violated the rules. They sent the Dongsanguai fighter jet to temporarily join the 102nd Regiment in the name of filming without reporting the battle plan to the leader. It was inappropriate. We are suspected of spying on the enemy, so after research by the command and control department, we decided to cancel the results of the blue team, so the winner of this confrontation drill is you."

He said, "Things should be viewed in two parts. The command and control department recognizes and supports the blue team's point of view, but the blue team's behavior has violated the rules of this confrontation exercise, so this decision was made."

We all understand, but the victors are not as excited as they imagined, they are just boring - this is how victory comes.

It's better to lose openly and openly.

Reasonable and unexpected results are difficult for both parties to accept.

The next day, Li Zhan accompanied Chengda to visit the J-16. He sat on the commuter car heading to the outfield. After waiting for a flying J-7E to fly away, Chengda looked away from the distance and asked , "The command and control department finally determined that you were shot down by me. Are you very unconvinced?"

Li Zhan said, "I would not be convinced if I drove the J-7."

"Oh? You mean the J-7 is better than the J-11?" Cheng Da said in surprise, "This is a subversive view, Captain Li."

Li Zhan said seriously, "I know the J-10. I personally think that the close-range combat performance of this aircraft is among the best in the world, especially the improved J-10 B. The advanced avionics system has doubled its combat effectiveness." weapon. There is no model in the J-11 series that can compete with it."

"Huh? It's unexpected that you have such a high opinion of Jian Shi." Cheng Da said.

Li Zhan said, "To be honest, the J-11 has no advantage against the J-10 in close combat. Of course, purely from a technical perspective. At least I think most of the pilots of the Falcon Group flying the J-11B can overwhelm you." .”

Cheng Da said, "I admit this. My soldiers have not fully utilized the advantages of the J-10. The J-11B has an obvious advantage beyond visual range, and you have made good use of this advantage."

"The avionics system of the J-11B is very different, and it is comparable to your J-10B model. The disadvantage of the J-11 compared to the J-10 is that the aircraft is too heavy, and the nose directivity is not as good as that of the J-10. , which is very disadvantageous in close combat." Li Zhan said.

Cheng Da asked, "What about J-7? Do you think J-7 can compete with J-10 in close combat?"

"There is absolutely no problem with the J-7E and subsequent models. As long as it enters a dogfight, there are definitely not many aircraft that can form an overwhelming advantage over the J-7." Li Zhan said with certainty.

Cheng Da pondered, seeming to be recalling the performance and actual combat performance of the J-7E and J-7G. He nodded slightly and said, "I agree with this point of view."

"Then the director's department ruled that you violated the rules and lost the confrontation. Don't you feel aggrieved?" Cheng Da asked.

Li Zhan smiled and said, "I knew this result before the fight started."

"I want to hear what you say. There must be other more important considerations here, right?" Chengda asked seriously after getting out of the car.

Li Zhan shook his head helplessly, "Of course there is, but it's hard for many people to agree. I talked to my soldiers for more than an hour last night, but the morale is still very low."

"Sooner or later we will figure it out. In fact, a victory like this is really not as good as a defeat for us. There are only two people in total. The first one violated the rules and was removed. The second place became the first place. What do you think this is called? It's something." Chengda said with a wry smile.

Li Zhan said, "The detailed summary and analysis is clearly written, and the evaluation given to you is very pertinent. The command and control department affirmed your combat tactics. In fact, I personally admit that the Big Red Eagle is the number one our Falcon Brigade has ever encountered. A threatening opponent."

Chengda sighed softly and said, "Let's talk about it."

"I want to downplay the competitive nature of the Beikku confrontation drill as much as possible." Li Zhan gave a more surprising answer, saying in a deep voice, "When I realized that the Beikku confrontation drill has become the first simulated confrontation for the entire army. After establishing the brand, we began to think about the true meaning it should contain.”

"The purpose of forming the Falcon Brigade is to serve as a whetstone for brother troops, sharpen the troops and improve their combat capabilities. At the beginning, I thought that using all necessary means to make the loss of any participating troops as ugly and miserable as possible would be helpful. Improve their battlefield awareness. Later I found that the troops gradually formed a desire to win at all costs. This is true, a troop without an infinite desire for victory cannot exert its full combat effectiveness. But if it is a simulated blue army troop If you blindly pursue victory, you will lose your footing. The purpose of simulating the Blue Army is to be a good whetstone, and the fundamental point should be how to sharpen the brothers' troops so that they have the ability to compete for victory."

Cheng Da said, "I should understand. The pursuit of victory should be in the category of fighting spirit, but what you are talking about is in the category of combat training tactics based on simulating blue army troops."

"As expected of the chief of staff, he summed it up well." Li Zhan said with a smile, "This is why we shout the slogan that defeating our opponents is more important than defeating our teammates."

Cheng Da said seriously, "Your idea is terrible. Just imagine, a troop that doesn't care about winning or losing on the surface but attacks with fatal moves, it's scary to think about."

Li Zhan said, "If you bloom, the spring breeze will come."

"Yes, many people understand this truth, but very few are really determined to put it into practice." Cheng Da said with emotion.

This is not a trivial matter, it is related to the collective honor of the army and the vital interests of the officers and soldiers. Who dares to take the lead in making such a decision.

It is indispensable to judge the merits and awards at the end of the year if you win the confrontation drill.

Moreover, the Beikku Confrontation Exercise is a combat training brand directly under the Air Force. The results of each confrontation exercise must be reported and filed. This is related to the collective honor of the troops.

Li Zhan said, "The soldiers in our brigade are quite convinced of me, otherwise I would not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to do this."

"Yes, without the support of superior leaders and the trust of grassroots officers and soldiers, this matter would be really difficult to handle."

Cheng Da said, "I have never understood why you went to the trouble of sending the plane to Zhongku Station and also used a cover identity to follow us. It was obviously an superfluous move. Now I understand, you did it on purpose. "

"Yes, you have to give the guidance department a good reason, right? In fact, I was worried that I wouldn't lose, so I had to make this move." Li Zhan said sincerely, "I have to let everyone understand where the focus of future work will be. "

Cheng Da was so angry that his head was about to smoke, and he was speechless for a long time. After thinking about it carefully, yes, wouldn't the Falcon Brigade win if there were no violations? In fact, everyone knows that the real winner is the Falcon Brigade.

"Looking at your tone, are you leaving?" Chengda suddenly realized, "It sounds like you are arranging funeral arrangements."

Li Zhan spread his hands and said, "Revolutionary soldiers can't help themselves."

Chengda smiled and said, "Let me guess, are you going to participate in the flying shark training?"

"You guessed it, why, you are also participating?" Li Zhan asked, "Are those who open the J-10 allowed to participate?"

Chengda smiled and said, "Who told you that those who drive the J-10 can't participate? I'm telling you, I have already signed up and will take the assessment after the military competition in December."

The all-element assessment of the whole army in December is referred to as the competition by the officers and soldiers, and it has a strong flavor of the 1960s and 1970s.

Seeing that Li Zhan was confused, Cheng Da smiled and explained, "You have forgotten that the J-15 has the ability to receive refueling in the air. I at least have one more skill than you. You haven't done the aerial refueling training yet, right?"

"Yes, I originally went to a top base with you for training. Without the heavy workload in the army, I couldn't leave." Li Zhan said.

Cheng Da said, "The Flying Shark Training is the most top-level training in the entire army. The requirements are beyond imagination. There have been three sessions before, with more than 600 applicants. Do you know how many people were left in the end?"

Li Zhan waited for Cheng Da's next step.

"Eight." Cheng Darby said "8" in sign language, "Only eight people made it to the end and became members of the Flying Shark Force. There are more than 600 people. Those are 600 carefully selected by the entire army's aviation force. Multiple pilots!”

Li Zhan's brows suddenly wrinkled, "Is it that difficult to fly a carrier-based fighter jet?"

"You will know when the time comes." Cheng Da said firmly, "You like to fly at supersonic speeds, but carrier-based fighter jets require that the slower the better."

This should be understood this way: the slower you land, the better.

This was the first time Li Zhan heard about the specific elimination rate of Feisha training. Seventy-five to one, and this is an elimination rate based on careful selection across the entire army.

"The commanders of the aviation units of the entire army probably hate the flying shark training." Li Zhan said with a smile.

Cheng Da looked at Li Zhan in surprise and gave a thumbs up, "Your perspective of thinking is very strange. When others hear this elimination rate, the first thing they think of is the degree of difficulty, but what you think of is the training of flying sharks by other troops. manner."

"Isn't that right? Think about it, they are all the top students in each army. They gritted their teeth and endured the pain and sent them to your Hainan Airlines Flying Shark Training to support you in building a carrier-based fighter force. But you said that your soldiers are not qualified. Who can you say can bear this? It would be strange if he didn't get angry." Li Zhan said with a smile.

Cheng Da smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Yes, that's absolutely true. I heard when I was leading training at a top base that even some heads of the aviation department criticized the flying shark training, thinking that HNA went too far."

Isn't it? You, the top student who has been trained with so much hard work by my big brother in the Air Force, said you wanted to build a carrier-based fighter unit. Big brother, I supported your talents when the whole army was playing chess. But in the end, you not only picked and picked but also fought back. Most people say these people have failed. Do you think I can be happy?

Isn’t it true that the high command is suppressing it and that the Air Force Commander will spare no effort to support it? Air aviation and naval aviation are contradictory in terms of strategic use. Do you really think that aircraft taking off from warships cannot be classified as air force establishment?

For a long time in Japan, there was only the Army Aviation Corps and no Air Force!

"Don't talk about these bad things." Chengda waved his hand helplessly and said, "I am very worried about whether I can get to the end smoothly. I really don't have much confidence. I am more accurate at driving the J-11 than you are. There are more modification subjects, so time is very tight once you go back and forth.”

Li Zhan and Cheng Da walked to the tarmac of J-16 No. 16161 and said, "Modify together? There should be a separate modification training class, right?"

"No, everyone receives modification training at the same time, and the time is the same. If you can complete it, you will enter the next stage. If you cannot complete it, you will pack up and go back to the original unit." Cheng Da said.

Li Zhan said, "It makes no sense."

"There are a lot of unreasonable things in the Flying Shark training camp. It's too bad if I don't talk about it anymore." Cheng Da waved his hands and said, making Li Zhan seriously doubt that he had been eliminated before. Following this analysis, he deduced The conclusion is - this old boy can fly J-11 or even J-15.

He pointed at the J-16 in front of him and asked, "Is this the Su San0 we successfully copied?"

"It should be said that it is China's modernized version of Su Sanling." Li Zhan said with a smile.

These are all open secrets. Even though the Russian side clearly requested that the Su-27SK should not be imitated or sold when it originally purchased it, the great Chinese military workers did imitate it and outperformed it, but it did not violate " Not for Sale" clause.

Forced by the overall internal and external environment, Russia chose to acquiesce, so it formed a routine - buying some back for localization.

And they are better than the original ones.

Li Zhan said, "The power is stronger. The Taihang used is an enhanced version. The thrust is greater. The maximum bomb load reaches twelve tons. In extreme cases, it is no problem to carry thirteen tons. The most worth mentioning is New domestically produced active phased array radar and avionics systems.”

"Tell me more about it. You discovered our main force two hundred kilometers away. Did you rely on this radar?" Cheng Da said.

Li Zhan nodded slightly, "Yes, I am here to be used as a small early warning aircraft. Theoretically, the maximum detection range of fighter jets is 300 kilometers, but in fact the effective range is between 200 and 250 kilometers. You all fly together I saw it, and I saw it clearly, but the three planes you brought failed to detect it, which means that the detection of low-altitude targets cannot reach this distance."

"I understand, AWACS, command, and fighter aircraft. You simulate three roles with one aircraft." Cheng Da said.

Li Zhan smiled and said, "If I had an AWACS command plane, I wouldn't be willing to put myself through so much trouble."

"What about the avionics system? What are its characteristics and advantages?" Chengda asked.

"Tactical Intelligence Interaction System." Li Zhan said, "I will give you a detailed information later. This Tactical Intelligence Interaction System is a combat support system project we are engaged in. It is still a very crude system, and it can only be used in the Beiku area. Partiality is effective.”

Chengda said solemnly, "Okay, this is the multiplier of combat effectiveness."

The two of them looked around the J-16 No. 1616 and finally sat in her cockpit to study it. Li Zhan knew everything. As long as it would be helpful to the development of the brother troops, he would explain it in detail.

Chengda asked, "What do you think of this plane?"

Li Zhan said, "It is a very excellent fighter-bomber. I like to fly her and fight the battle while chatting outside the visual range, but I am absolutely unwilling to get into a close-range fight with her, especially when the opponent is an opponent." An air superiority fighter like the J-10."

"I heard that you think the J-10 is a multi-purpose fighter. Why did you change your view?" Cheng Da asked.

Li Zhan asked, "What kind of fighter do you think the F-16 is? Air superiority or multi-purpose?"

Chengda was stunned by the question.

Is this a problem? It seems to be a problem. I don’t know when people started forgetting that the F-16 is actually an air superiority fighter.

"The F-16 became a multi-purpose fighter after the disappearance of the Soviet Union. When it was developed, this fighter was positioned as an air superiority fighter in the US Air Force. It was used to compete with the Warsaw Pact countries for air supremacy. The target was the Soviet Union. MiG-29. In the international situation at the time, both sides of the Cold War needed a large number of cheap fighter jets to be consumed in the battle for air supremacy. The F-16 did this job. The Soviet Union was gone, and the United States’ opponents were gone. , so many weapons and equipment suddenly lost the imaginary enemy, what should we do? Change it to adapt to the future military situation. The US military is the only one, and they began to consider dealing with threats in the new situation, such as dealing with certain countries in the Middle East. Are they fighting for air supremacy? They have no airspace at all. Only then did the F-16 begin to take on diverse tasks, and the tasks prompted changes, so it became a multi-purpose fighter." Li Zhan said a few words briefly.

Chengda thought about it, "You mean the J-10 will also develop in such a direction?"

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Yes. The J-10 was developed in the 1980s. What era is it now? Don't forget that in the 1980s, we were always ready to fight against Big Brother."

"I'm convinced, Li Zhan. I'm really convinced by you, Li Zhan. I learned a lot more from this confrontation than I lost." Cheng Da said sincerely.

"Haha, if you learn one and a half of my moves, you will be able to use them for a long time."

"..."
