Chapter 303: Military Training

Feng Zixi officially entered the barracks, and at the same time as he entered Osan Air Base, there were four other South Korean Marine pilots. They will be trained by the US military at Osan Air Base for the next two months, and they will all have to live together.

Zixi also saw four Korean pilots, a captain, a lieutenant and two ensigns, the oldest was less than forty, and the youngest was twenty-five or sixteen years old, not much older than Zixi. Although there are two people with higher military ranks than Zixi, Zixi belongs to the US Air Force system, so there is no need to look at their eyes to do things.

Together with the remaining 10 or so U.S. troops, they will receive a variety of training in the coming month, including physical fitness, shooting and simulated operation of helicopters. They will form a squadron of helicopters stationed at Osan Air Base and will be responsible for flying the Navy's AH-64D Longbow Apache, AH-1 Cobra and Black Hawk helicopters.

The four Korean pilots have experience piloting the AH-1s in their home countries, and all of them are carefully selected elite members with outstanding strength. It's just that this time I changed to an AH-1W driving the U.S. Marine Corps, and as long as you are familiar with the basic operation, there will be no problem at all.

Feng Zixi has flown all three helicopters in the New Jersey training camp, and the most familiar is of course the UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter. However, this time, in order to make him a military idol in the hearts of the South Korean people, Feng Zixi was turned to fly the AH-64D "Longbow Apache" helicopter gunship, which is known as a tank killer. This kind of aircraft Feng Zixi practiced on the simulation console, and the improved AH-64C was piloted, but it was loaded with a Longbow radar and a fully armed AH-64D "Longbow Apache" real airframe, and he was in contact with it for the first time. Feng Zixi had to refamiliarize himself with and master the advanced equipment and weapon systems of the "Haierfa" missile, which can carry a radio-frequency seeker, a powerful T700-GE-701C engine, a large generator twice as large as 70 kilovolt-ampere, and an AN/ASN-157 Doppler navigation system. That's what you have to do within a month.

The training was boring and boring, but in order to allow the TV stations and media reporters to take satisfactory and heroic photos and shots, Feng Zixi and several soldiers from the South Korean side ran the training ground. After all, the rest of the US military is too lazy to care what you are doing, and they are accustomed to the military exercise in two months, and they will not pay attention to it. I still do what I do in the past. It's just that I'm a little curious about the mixed-race second lieutenant who suddenly appeared, but after understanding, it turns out that the commander of the base, Colonel Moncent, is actually the second lieutenant's cousin, so that the American troops who wanted to come over to provoke all died down.

Behind him were lazy, panting American soldiers, Feng Zixi was running at the front, and the four South Korean soldiers who were lined up behind him were getting faster and faster. They are engaged in a 30-kilometer fully armed cross-country race, training in the mountains around Gyeonggi Province, and the fastest way back to the barracks is the victory.

Although the four South Korean soldiers had tried their best, they were inferior to Feng Zixi in speed and physical strength, and in order to catch up with Feng Zixi, they consumed too much physical strength. Seeing that the end line was in sight, not only could they not catch up with Feng Zixi in front, but the American troops behind also slowly caught up, and the nearest distance was less than ten meters away from them. It makes them more nervous, and when they are nervous, it disrupts their pace, which is even more detrimental to them.

Reporters from KBS TV, as well as reporters from Dong-A Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo, stood in front of the finish line, nervously looking at the gate of the base. This all-armed cross-country race is the first competition between the United States and South Korea held at the Osan base. South Korean journalists, of course, hope that their soldiers will be able to overwhelm the US military, so that they can boast about it.

"Look, look, someone's back." A reporter shouted loudly at the gate of the base.

A vague figure appeared at the entrance of the base, wearing a steel helmet and carrying a large and heavy backpack, the M4 rifle resting on the backpack, and the handle of the gun belt was pulled in front to prevent the rifle from shaking and causing a greater burden. Since it has snowed in the past few days, although it is not large, there is still a thin layer of snow on the ground, and the footsteps on it make a "chirping" sound.

"It's Zixi, it's Zixi." Although there was a helmet to cover it, the reporter still recognized at a glance that it was Zixi who ran at the front.

The pace is steady, not fast or slow, and the stride distance and gait speed are exactly the same. Although his face was covered with sweat and the white breath exhaled was very large, I didn't see him too tired.

"What about our soldiers?" A reporter asked nervously.

Because all the people who ran into the barracks behind Feng Zixi were American troops, which can be seen from the star-striped flags and faces on their armbands. In addition to the Air Force pilots, there were also Marine Corps pilots stationed at the base, and the four pilots from South Korea were the four pilots who participated in the training, with a total number of about 80 people.

More than half of the people had returned, and only then did they see four South Korean pilots holding each other and staggering in front of the gate of the barracks. At the finish line, Feng Zixi had already settled down his equipment and began to rest.

Reporters and TV stations no longer cared about the soldiers of their own country, and they all rushed over to interview Zixi. This is a real armed cross-country training, there is no room for fraud, Feng Zixi can be shortlisted among so many soldiers, it is enough to see his strength, at least in terms of physical strength.

Physical training, armed cross-country training, familiarization with weapons and equipment, learning combat methods and command arts, these are all things that many pilots must master. In addition, in combination with command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance systems, we will design specialized training for pilots, and create a battlefield environment for joint command and staff training subjects. In addition, the six combat experiments to be formed by the Air Force, namely, information operations, air expeditionary force operations, space operations, troop protection operations, command and control and combat management operations, and unmanned aerial vehicle operations, will also be studied, trained, and exercised one after another. At the same time, it is also necessary to set up operational laboratories jointly with the army and navy, and the three major branches of the armed forces will conduct joint military training, and they will have to run in again and again in command, support, joint strikes, reconnaissance, and communications.

The above is what Feng Zixi needs to fully master within a month, of course, not everything is proficient, but at least he clearly understands the cooperation between the Dao and the various military branches. KBS TV and the two major media have recorded the learning process of Feng Zixi and the four South Korean soldiers, as long as they complete this stage, after the assessment, they can enter the second month of actual combat training stage, when they will have to go to the actual operation of the fuselage, no longer on the simulated aircraft continuous practice.

Every week, KBS TV will make an album of Feng Zixi and the four Han Jun's studies, as well as their results, which will be broadcast as a special program on Saturday night. In addition, according to the training of the ROK army and the training of the US military, what is more suitable for the current Republic of Korea, and what are the shortcomings and needs to be improved. Of course, these are things that need to be explored and studied by military experts.

However, anyone who has seen Feng Zixi's training and his academic achievements have praised him greatly. Although the results were not the best, especially in command and staff training, they were still very immature and did not have any outstanding points. However, in terms of the rest of the computers, control, reconnaissance, and combat methods, Feng Zixi not only surpassed the four pilots of the South Korean side, but even some of the US troops could not compare with him. It proves that he is very keen in his control and observation of the battle situation.

With the passing of the assessment, it officially entered the second month of actual combat training. The Hong Kong movie [Hancheng Raiders] starring Feng Zixi has also been painted, and the box office is very ideal, and Japan and South Korea, as well as Taiwan and Southeast Asia have been introduced. Because it was released as a Chinese New Year movie, in terms of film reviews, although it is not as good as the previous episode of "Tokyo Raiders", it can be funny, and there are many wonderful action scenes.

However, now South Korea does not pay much attention to when the film will be released, because the South Korean people once again saw Zixi on TV wearing a mighty military uniform and driving a helicopter gunship.

When Zixi first debuted, there were already photos of him wearing a flight suit in a New Jersey training camp on his personal website, but these felt unreal to the public, and some people once thought that this was just a posed posing photo, which was not credible at all. But now it's real, and the TV camera focuses on Zixi's No. 02 AH-64D "Longbow Apache", codenamed "Assassin", and starts the engine and takes off. Then the picture shifted to the cabin, and Zixi, who did not pull down the blindfold, could make people see the expression on his face clearly.

This was an actual combat exercise, in which two South Korean pilots flew a modified Black Hawk helicopter for reconnaissance to carry out a reconnaissance mission at high altitude. Detect armoured vehicles crossing the border, and then notify the helicopter gunship pilot to take off and eliminate the armed vehicles crossing the border on the ground.

This kind of actual combat practice has been carried out many times in the simulation room, and although the cooperation between Feng Zixi and the pilots of the South Korean side cannot be said to be seamless, there will be no major problems. Taking the armed vehicles of the DPRK side as an imaginary enemy, the ROK pilots patrolling the border immediately notified the nearest US military base.

An AH-64D "Longbow Apache" took off, and according to the coordinates and information provided by the South Korean side, it rushed to the sky over the imaginary enemy in the shortest possible time and directly destroyed the vehicle with the XM-230-E1 30-mm chain anti-tank gun. But there was not only one armed vehicle, but also an armored vehicle fled. The Black Hawk helicopter was in close pursuit, but was met with anti-aircraft fire from armored vehicles. When approaching the border, the helicopter gunship cannot catch up in time, but if the vehicle crosses the border and destroys it, then it may cause a war, so it must be eliminated before the other side crosses the border.

In desperation, helicopter pilots were allowed to use the "Haierfa" missiles on board to wipe out the armored vehicles on the border line before they could flee the border.

The mission was completed perfectly, and the entire combat process of the two helicopters returning from triumph was recorded, and then handed over to the staff officers for a detailed analysis of all the data. Naturally, the cameras of the TV station also recorded the whole process, especially on the Black Hawk helicopter and Apache, which were equipped with multiple cameras, and the dialogue of the pilot, with the radar in the combat command room, and the combat data, the editing was almost like a real battle.

Of course, these are all fake, and the so-called armed vehicles only have data input from the computer, and the missiles launched are also based on the data to complete the attack. This is because there is no room for a casual live-fire drill on the border, otherwise the DPRK side will clamore for some countermeasures and retaliation. Although people in the whole world know that these words are said, as long as there is news that will cause social unrest in Korea, it will not be allowed to happen.
