Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

On September 9, the day before the National Day gift, more than a dozen leading cadres from the 29th Research Institute, including Zhou Yang, Liang Shi and Liu Yuan, took a flight to the Kongliu Institute base.

After arriving at the base, Zhou Yang and his party were warmly welcomed by the leading cadres of Kongliu Yard, and a high-standard reception banquet was even specially prepared for them.

You must know that tomorrow is the day of the first flight of the Falcon early warning aircraft. There are many people invited to participate in the first flight ceremony today, and even the big guys from the Presbyterian Church are coming in the afternoon.

The Kong Liuyuan was able to hold a reception banquet for Zhou Yang and others under such a tense situation, which shows that they sincerely regard him as one of their own.

But you can understand it if you think about it. After all, the Falcon early warning aircraft project is the joint scientific research result of the two units. We have worked together for more than a thousand days and nights, and we are already brothers.

After the luncheon, Zhou Yang did not rush to rest. Instead, accompanied by Huang Yalou, Guo Yamin, Zheng Aiguo and others, he went to the aircraft assembly workshop and checked the details of the aircraft again.

Although he also knew that Kong Liuyuan would not dare to neglect matters such as National Day gifts, and the relevant situation should have been done.

But Zhou Yang was still a little worried. He had to check it himself before he could feel relieved.

It's not that he is too idle, but because this early warning aircraft is so important to our country.

The importance of the Falcon is not only because it will perform in front of the big guys tomorrow, but more importantly, this early warning aircraft may change the current situation in which our country's air force has insufficient combat capabilities and is restricted everywhere.

Take the Battle of Southern Xinjiang as an example. The reason why we were hesitant to dispatch the air force in the previous life was not that we didn’t want to, but that we couldn’t.

The reason is that our country's air force lacks combat power. When facing the air force of the Southern Monkey Kingdom, it cannot form a crushing situation and is even at a disadvantage.

But things are different now. As long as the Falcon early warning aircraft is deployed into the army, coupled with the J-8 modification, this combination can definitely sweep the air power of the Southern Monkey.

Whether and when the Falcon early warning aircraft can be installed in the troops mainly depends on the performance of tomorrow's "first flight", so Zhou Yang must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After personally checking the condition of the No. 1 aircraft participating in the "first flight", Zhou Yang felt greatly relieved.

Later, he personally talked with the crew of the first flight, especially the test pilot.

After understanding the thoughts of the test pilot and commander, he was finally relieved.

At this time, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhou Yang, who was slightly tired, returned to the accommodation arranged for them by Kong Liuyuan, ready to rest for a while.

However, not long after Zhou Yang lay down, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the room.

At that moment, Zhou Yang, who was awakened, immediately opened the door.

The moment the door opened, Zhou Yang saw Song Jiang, the office director of Kongliuyuan, standing at the door, with Chen Beixuan and Zhang Tong standing next to him.

Before Zhou Yang could speak, Song Jiang said in an anxious tone: "Dean Zhou, please clean up quickly, the chief wants to see you!"

Zhou Yang's heart trembled, and he immediately asked: "Director Song, which chief wants to see me?"

"It's the Great Elder!"

Although he was prepared in his heart, he was still slightly shocked when he heard the exact news.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang can be considered a person who has seen strong winds and waves. He quickly came to his senses and said immediately: "Director Song, please wait a moment, I will wash my face and leave!"

"Okay, then hurry up and don't keep the leader waiting for a long time!"

"it is good..."

..........

In the core area of ​​Kongliuyuan Base, in a heavily guarded small building, Zhou Yang, who had been inspected three times, was taken to the door of a room.

At this time, the person accompanying him was no longer Song Jiang, but a middle-aged man in his forties. His surname was Zhang, and he was the secretary of the chief.

The two came to the door, and Secretary Zhang gently knocked on the door!

Soon, a calm but majestic voice came from the room: "Come in!"

Secretary Zhang immediately opened the door and walked in with Zhou Yang.

"Chief, Comrade Zhou Yang is here!"

Seeing the familiar old man, Zhou Yang was extremely excited and immediately saluted him with a military salute.

At the same time, he said loudly: "Reporting to the head, Zhou Yang of the 18th Research Institute is reporting to you, please give instructions!"

"Okay, okay... I finally met our genius scientist. He is indeed a handsome and dignified person. He is a good kid!"

Zhou Yang was somewhat embarrassed to be praised like this.

"You...you're too old!"

"Hahaha, sit down!"

Then the elder said to the secretary: "Xiao Zhang, I want to have a good chat with Comrade Zhou Yang. Don't let anyone disturb us before dinner!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Secretary Zhang turned around and retreated.

When there were only two people left in the room, the elder said with a smile: "I have heard your little brat's name in the past two years. Now I finally see you in person. You are younger than I thought."

Zhou Yang immediately said: "You are not young anymore. After the New Year, you will be thirty years old (virtual age)!"

"Hahaha, thirty is still not young, it's a good time to start a career in the prime of life!"

Then, the great elder changed his voice and said again: "I originally planned to see you after attending the first flight ceremony tomorrow, but there is an urgent matter that I need to understand from you, so I have moved the time forward!"

"Chief, what do you want to know? Please tell me!" Zhou Yang said.

"Yesterday, our first batch of equipment was shipped to Shadamu. They were very satisfied, but they also asked us when we would send people over to help them train their troops!"

Then, the Great Elder said again: "This is what you kid promised me. How prepared are you?"

Zhou Yang immediately replied: "Report to the leader, we are almost ready for this matter, and can send people to Shadamu at any time!"

"Oh, what have you prepared? How do you plan to train troops for others?"

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and then said: "Chief, we have formed a combined battalion with the garrison troops of the institute. After nearly two months of training, we have basically formed a combat effectiveness."

"After our professional calculations, the combat effectiveness of this unit is at least three times higher than that of the same number of field units."

"Three times...is your calculation accurate?"

The great elder's tone was filled with surprise and a hint of seriousness. He was also from the army and knew very well how difficult it was to improve the army's combat effectiveness.

Normally, if you want to improve the combat effectiveness of an army, you need at least one to two years of hard training and participation in actual combat.

A troop that has never been on the battlefield, a group of soldiers who have not experienced blood and fire, will always be just a group of rookies.

So he still didn't quite believe Zhou Yang's words.

"Chief, three times is just a conservative estimate. In fact, it may be higher than what we calculated!"

Then Zhou Yang continued: "We also know that this is not convincing, so we are planning to apply to our superiors to let this unit go to southern Xinjiang to participate in the trial. We also ask the chief for permission!"

"It seems that you are very confident in the combat effectiveness of this unit!"

"Chief, I am indeed very confident in their combat effectiveness. Please give us a chance, chief!" Zhou Yang said.

"You can give it a try if you want. Who do you want to lead the team, Liang Shi or Xiao Jiang (Jiang Chengcai)?" the elder said.

"No, I'm going to let Gu Chenghua lead the team. Currently, he has been in charge of training in the Hessian Camp!" Zhou Yang said.

"Gu Chenghua...you are talking about Xiao Yang's grandson, right? As far as I know, that brat has no experience in fighting enemies in battle. Wouldn't it be too risky to just let him lead the team to southern Xinjiang? How about that? Will the Military Commission transfer some experienced officers to you?"

Zhou Yang said immediately: "Thank you for your kindness, chief, but the combined battalion is completely new in terms of organization and tactics. People who don't understand it will not be able to exert the combat effectiveness of this unit!"

"However, the higher-level department can send a field observation team to follow our synthetic battalion south, while watching their performance, and giving pointers when necessary. What do you think?"

"Okay, then it's settled!"

"Thank you, chief..."
