At the end of the dirt runway in front of a frontier military station in a desolate area in the northwest, the soldiers were curiously watching a group of people fiddling with four strange planes.

"Company commander, what are they doing here?" A young soldier looked at the four "backward" propeller planes and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do the people above think, how can they still study this backward propeller aircraft these years?" ”

Yes, in their opinion, these four propeller planes are really backward enough, propeller planes alas, what kind of plane is that? It was a backward aircraft that was eliminated in the 50s, but what did you see? Saw four at once!

Although these four planes are not only equipped with two rocket launch nests, it seems that there are also two 23mm cannons in the belly...... I don't know if there is a machine gun synchronizer installed in the road? If you forget to install the machine gun synchronizer and the machine gun breaks the propeller, then the fun will be great...... There seem to be a few more machine guns on the wings, but what can this plane be used for? One shot of the MANPADS was taken down.

"Understand!" Since the company commander can be a company commander, he is naturally a little knowledgeable, and slapped the back of the little soldier's head, "This plane is naturally not good for fighting the Americans, but what if it is used for border patrol?" Those guys who secretly crossed the border, do you think this firepower can deal with them? ”

"Scared!" The little soldier who was looking at the propeller plane just now suddenly widened his eyes, "Company commander, you said that this plane is a patrol plane equipped with our military station?" ”

The little soldier of the patrol plane naturally knows that the military station 500 kilometers away is equipped with several planes, and the patrol coverage radius covers 200 kilometers in front of him...... Well, that is, the patrol radius of that aircraft is 700 km.

Not to mention, after having that patrol plane, although these fighters still need to go out to patrol on foot. But listening to the old soldier, the life now is like heaven and earth compared to the past, and the days before are called a bitter force, compared with the past, the current days are simply in the sky: "In the past, we met those damn bastards, so we could only rely on the Bayi bar and bazooka in our hands to clean them up, but you all know the way, the firepower in the hands of those bastards is not weak, now it's okay, as long as we shout." In an hour at most, the plane will come and immediately beat these bastards to the devil and howl, it's so fucking fun! ”

But the little soldier was a little puzzled in his heart, "This patrol plane is a little different from the patrol plane that I am used to." ”

"This ...... Well. It seems to be more advanced. The company commander was a little undecided, "Hmm." That's how it should be. ”

After all, he was only a small army company commander in a remote area. It's really hard for him.

……………………

Lin Hongfei turned a deaf ear to all this, it was already very cold in the western region in November, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but wrap the cotton clothes on his body, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the four planes in front of him.

Of the four aircraft, two are EMB-312 Brazilian Tucano attack/trainer aircraft leased from the Brazilian Air Force, which is different from the EMB-314 that Embraer has not yet served. Compared with the EMB-314, which is equipped with a data bus, a head-up display, a liquid crystal digital display and a number of modern equipment, the EMB-312 is more like a turboprop-powered, medium-level trainer with a certain ground attack capability, and the cabin is still dazzling with various flight instruments.

Of course, the prices of the two are completely incomparable. EMB-314 costs more than $5.5 million, while EMB-312 costs less than $2 million...... A lot of money was all made by the American avionics company.

The two EMB-312s are a secret agreement with the Brazilian side for a one-year lease to test in detail the feasibility of the low-speed turboprop-powered aircraft for armed patrols and attacks in low-intensity combat areas. Well, it was seconded by the Army Aviation Corps, and after 2 months of training by Brazilian instructors, he was already basically able to fly this aircraft relatively proficiently.

In addition, there are two modified turboprop engines of the Chujiao VI, and the domestic equipment is only equipped with two 7.62mm machine guns and can carry two 25 kg bomblets of the armed version of the Chujiao VI, the nose of this aircraft has been greatly changed, the nose is like a fighter is similar to a cone, good rectification effect can not only bring less flight resistance to the aircraft, but also greatly enhance the pilot's forward vision.

In addition, like the EMB-312, this Beginner 6 has five weapon hardpoints, two weapon pylons under each wing, two rocket nests on the inner weapon pylons near the fuselage, two slender close-range air-to-air combat missiles on the outer two weapon pylons, and a weapon pylons on the belly of the aircraft with a drop fuel tank.

When Lin Hongfei decided to modify two Chujiao-6 trainer aircraft for the black buddies who fooled Zimbabwe, he didn't expect that the domestic military would also be interested in this low-cost, low-speed, low-combat ability aircraft, probably because the previous armed patrol aircraft left a good impression on them, and there was no movement in the Air Force, but the Army gritted its teeth and squeezed out $500,000 from between his teeth, and handed it to Lin Hongfei to modify two Chujiao-6, according to the Army, that is, "There are thousands of Chujiao in the country- 6, if this Chujiao 6 modified armed patrol plane is even more effective than the previous patrol plane, then we will change it. ”

Lin Hongfei felt that the army was really embarrassed, if it weren't for the Zimbabwean side wanting to get the goods after 2 months, in fact, these two turboprop-powered beginner-6 trainer/patrol aircraft could completely make the Zimbabwean military pay for it.

"Mr. Lin, okay, it's time to test fly." After some debugging, the vice president of Hongdu Airlines turned his head and said to Lin Hongfei.

"Okay, pilots ready to board." Lin Hongfei nodded, and commanded loudly, "Fly first to teach the formation of six pairs." ”

With Lin Hongfei's order, the four pilots who had been waiting next to them immediately climbed up the two prepared Junior Sixes along the simple boarding ladder, and after powering on and checking them, they started the engine and began to warm up, and at this moment, the crowd that had just gathered around the plane had already entered the temporary shed...... Poor, for the convenience of observation, the place where everyone stays in the winter is not the kind of special test command vehicle, but in the open air, there is a shed overhead, and the breeze blows, which is called a cool.

"Report 011, here is 801, the instrument system is working fine, the engine is working fine, the weapon system is working fine."

"011 received, the 801 instrument system is working properly, the engine is working properly, the weapon system is working properly."

"Report 011, here is 802, the instrumentation system is working fine, the engine is working properly, the weapon system is working properly."

"011 received, the 802 instrument system is working properly, the engine is working properly, the weapon system is working properly."

Not only unconsciously, Lin Hongfei, who was listening to the side, had already sweated in his palms, he suddenly felt a little nervous, and couldn't help but say to the soldiers of the temporarily built air traffic control center, "Let them check them all again." ”

"Huh?" Several soldiers from the temporary air traffic control center were stunned for a moment, is this necessary? This beginner six has flown so many times.

"There's nothing wrong with being careful." Lin Hongfei shook his head and said.

What is the ...... It's really right, who can say that Lin Hongfei is wrong? The little warrior was a little helpless, "801, 802, here is 011, here is 011, all systems are checked again, repeat, all systems are checked again." ”

"801/802 received, full inspection again."

The results of the second inspection relieved everyone: no fault was found, and it turned out that Lin was scaring himself.

The little soldier glanced at Lin Hongfei a little depressed, "Mr. Lin, can you take off?" ”

"Yes." Lin Hongfei nodded.

"801, 802, here is 011, repeat, here is 011, can take off, can take off, take off according to scheme 1."

"801 received, number one take-off plan."

"802 received, one take-off plan."

"Take off!"

"It's takeoff!"

With the unique turbo whistling sound of the turboprop engine and the whistling sound of the propeller, the two beginner teachers who released the brakes were flying from slow to fast, and it seemed that the take-off speed was reached in the blink of an eye, and the front wheels slowly lifted up and rushed into the sky.

No one exclaimed, no one shouted, everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on these two planes: the flight and ground attack of the turboprop-powered Chujiao-6 had already been tested, but this time what was to be tested was the flight performance and ground attack performance in the northwest region, and the impact of a test environment that was completely different from that in the eastern region on the aircraft and how big the impact on the new power of the aircraft was, no one dared to guarantee this, there were many things that could not be analyzed by analysis alone.

Everyone didn't dare to take a breath of air, and listened to the sound coming from the hands of the air traffic control personnel with their ears pricked up.

"011, this is 801, the operation of the aircraft is smooth, the sight is good, is it possible to conduct a formal test?"

"011, this is 802, the operation of the aircraft is smooth, our line of sight is good, can we conduct a formal test?"

The reports of 801 and 802 made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The air traffic control glanced at the commander standing aside, and saw that the commander nodded, so he nodded vigorously, "801, 802 is 011 here, repeat, here is 011, you can conduct a formal test, now the first test ......" (to be continued......)
