On Monday morning, the weather in Shenyang was very good, with a clear sky and a bright smile and a surface temperature of 32 degrees Celsius.

Li Zhan sat in the flight briefing room, his flight helmet on his right thigh, his right hand pressed, his waist straight, his eyes looking straight ahead, as if he had regained the feeling of the last day at the training base.

There were three people in front of him, Xue Xiangdong, Lu Zhen, deputy director of production, and Hu Wenbing, representative of the army stationed in the factory. Xue Xiangdong was sitting there in an Air Force blue camouflage uniform, and the old god was there from time to time, picking up a big water cup and taking a sip of strong tea. Lu Zhen drank Hu Wenbing standing not far from the door and occasionally whispered a few words, and the former habitually gestured to strengthen the tone of his speech when he spoke.

After a while, the phone rang, and Lu Zhen stepped forward to pick it up, hung up the phone with a "hmm", and said, "Captain Li, it's time to go." ”

Li Zhan stood up and put on his flying helmet.

Xue Xiangdong also stood up with a water cup and said, "Safety first, pay attention." ”

"Yes! Please rest assured, brigade commander! Li Zhan replied forcefully.

Hu Wenbing said meaningfully, "Captain Li, the factory has given you a lot of trust by letting you accept the flight, and you have to fly well." ”

The implication: Don't be too violent, who is it to scrap the engine?

Li Zhan replied: "Yes!" Resolutely complete the mission! ”

He set off.

The three of them immediately returned to the tower.

After completing the inspection around the aircraft, Li Zhan climbed into the cockpit of the No. 01 J-11B, which had been painted, connected the oxygen mask and radio with the help of the mechanic, activated the left engine, activated the right engine, moved the flaps, checked the avionics system, checked the fire control system, checked the identification of friend or foe, checked the air data system, and checked the ......

The inspection was carried out methodically and step by step.

The test flight team has already flown over, and what Li Zhan has to do here is an acceptance flight. Xue Xiangdong and Hu Wenbing worked hard to win him the opportunity. In all fairness, Li Zhan will not be worse than a test pilot, and all that is missing is a matter of formalities and procedures.

"The plane is good." The mechanic smiled and handed the handover order to Li Zhan.

Li Zhanlong Feifeng Wu signed the big name, "Hard work." ”

The mechanic went down, removed the boarding ladder, closed the canopy, and allowed the glide signal to be issued, and the No. 01 J-11B, painted in desert camouflage and with a black and white eagle head on the outside of the double hanging tail, slid off the tarmac.

Is the Shen Hoy Aircraft Factory so good at talking, of course not. The rod war is famous, and the engine is light when it comes to flying planes, and who can stand it if you are in danger at every turn. Don't forget that Yi Xiaoyi, an engineer at the Shen Hoy Aircraft Factory, helped repair the late No. 01 SU-27SK in Beiku. At the beginning, the Shen Hoy Aircraft Factory directly sent the wing of the J-11A to the emergency in order to give the late No. 01 SU-27SK a new life in such a short time.

At that time, the name of the lever battle had spread all over the Shen Hoy Aircraft Factory. Some family members of employees scare disobedient children, and they will say that if you are disobedient, you will be allowed to take the plane of the trolley battle!

Why are you in a hurry to put the tactical number or something? Why let him fly the No. 01 J-11B?

Isn't No. 01 the exclusive tactical number of Captain Li?

Let you drive your own plane to see if you still toss or not, and if the toss is broken, you will continue to drive the No. 037 J-7EGG.

Li Zhan felt like a mirror in his heart.

But it's not embarrassing to see through it.

Li Zhan pulled up the oil steadily, and his posture was more stable than that of the Il-76.

Lu Zhen, deputy director of production, said with a smile, "It's very stable, I think the rumors are false." ”

"yes, hehe." Xue Xiangdong, who was standing with him, smiled perfunctorily, and his heart had already been raised.

Lu Zhen said, "Brigade Commander Xue, there has been a meeting in the factory on the matter of your test flight of the Jian-16, and there is basically no problem in our factory. Captain Li seems to be very reliable. ”

The late Jianjiao-7, No. 101 J-8FR, and Lao No. 01 SU-27SK: Deputy Director Lu, when did you become blind?

Xue Xiangdong said, "Great, we have a project that urgently needs to be annihilated." ”

"But in the end, whether it works or not depends on the supervisor of the army, and we can't be the master in the factory." Lu Zhen said.

Hu Wenbing said, "Brigade Commander Xue, the main thing is to work hard in your brigade, this is very important. ”

Xue Xiangdong nodded slightly, "I understand, two, no matter what, I thank you for your help on behalf of the brigade." ”

"This is a good thing for us, we can find the problem in advance, and it should be our factory to thank the troops." Lu Zhen said with a smile.

The dialogue between land and air is normal, the attitude of the plane is normal, and the pilot's control is so standard that it gives people the illusion that the one who flies the plane is the test pilot of the test flight team, right? How to fly is a detailed standard, and Li Zhan only watched it for one night and remembered it all.

When Li Zhan landed an hour and a half later, Xue Xiangdong seemed to have a dream, is this still Li Zhan? Flying without any passion at all was a supersonic speed, but that was not his style before, it was the kind of slow and even acceleration until supersonic flight.

How did he soar supersonic before? The full power arched forward, and everything else could be thrown aside.

The flying style is like two people.

Nothing happens, it's both normal and abnormal, and it feels weird.

"Taihang's power is much better than that of the third uncle, and the output is more linear, and I can clearly feel that the acceleration performance has been greatly improved. Overall, I would personally give an AA+ rating. After the fighter plane stopped steadily on the tarmac, Li Zhan said the last words of the flight.

The factory personnel in the tower all smiled proudly.

This acceptance test flight is undoubtedly a success, which means that all 24 fighters have met the delivery standards, and the rest of the process can be completed in the afternoon, and the troops will take off directly to return to the Beiku combat training base after the delivery ceremony tomorrow morning.

The pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade have completed the training of the simulator and also carried out ground running training, and flying the J-11B, which is of the same origin as the SU-27, does not need to undergo special modification training, so it saves a lot of trouble. However, in order to form a new combat force, the troops must be retrained.

On Tuesday, it seemed that God was going to test the ability of the Falcon Brigade, and the weather was gloomy, the sun was not visible, and there was a large dark cloud slowly approaching in the east. After repeated confirmation, the meteorological department finally issued the flight clearance as planned.

The Shen Hoy Aircraft Factory arranged a simple and solemn meeting place in the outfield, the main background is twenty-four planes arranged in a V-shape, one end of the opening is facing north, a row of tables is laid with red tablecloths facing south, the colorful flags on both sides are fluttering, the national flag and the military flag are the center, and in front of the table is a small military folding bench.

Today, July 12, 2011, is to be solemnly recorded in the history of the 101st Air Brigade of the Air Force, and the installation of 24 brand-new heavy twin-engine air superiority fighters marks that the brigade has become a leader in the aviation units of the whole army.

The J-11B represents the best technology in practical application so far, and represents the top combat power in the active equipment of the Chinese Air Force.

There is no longer a need to use the J-7E and J-7B to simulate the F-16 of a strong enemy, and there is no longer a need to use the J-8 series to simulate those F-15 heavy short-range air superiority fighters.

"It's my mission to fly the best planes and fight the most powerful enemies."

When gathering to go to the venue, Li Zhan said to the pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade so high-spiritedly. It is difficult for everyone to describe the mood, but in just over two years, from J-7B to J-7E, from SU-27 to J-11B, it has flown to the fourth model, how incredible.

Many people's hearts have already stopped - once the war starts, they will fly the J-7 and J-6 into the air to meet the enemy, delay the enemy's offensive with their flesh and blood, and buy time for the assembly of the main force.

They never imagined that they would one day be able to have a third-generation fighter, and even if they did, they never believed that it would be completely new. When he received the SU-27 fleet that the Second Division had been eliminated in tatters, Xue Xiangdong, who was dozens of years old, was so excited that he cried on the spot.

The hardships and hardships are unimaginable to others.

Gone are the hard days.

"We are the first combat aviation brigade, we will be the only large-scale heavy fighter formation in the whole army, we must be the Chinese Air Force most feared by the enemy long-range heavy air strike force! The future is full of thorns and hopes, and I encourage my comrades to never die, vowing to improve their combat effectiveness and to make a strong contribution to the building of a strong people's air force! ”

"Finally, thanks to the dedication of the military workers, we guarantee that we will form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, guarantee that all the combat performance of the new equipment will be squeezed out, and ensure that valuable aviation hours will be spent on combat training! Hats off to you! Salute! ”

"That's the end of my remarks, thank you!"

Li Zhan spoke on behalf of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, and he was strong and powerful, and there was absolutely no nonsense, and it could also be said that it was all nonsense.

Niu Jun stood on one side, and Yao Siyu stood with her.

After listening to Li Zhan's speech, Yao Siyu said with a smile, "Captain Li is more like a political work cadre, and his college major will not be the political work of the army, right?" ”

"No, of course not." Niu Jun smiled dryly, insincerely.

Yao Siyu asked curiously, "I heard that Captain Li has been in the army for less than two years?" ”

"Yes, he's amazing." Niu Jun said.

Yao Siyu said, "Yes, the prestige of Captain Li is known to the families of all the employees of the factory, and Xiao Yi should know best." ”

Yi Xiaoyi, who was standing beside him, said, "Captain Li has a great talent for flying, but his flying style is a little rougher, and he prefers to drive fast." Oh, I prefer to fly fast planes, hey, it's not right, it's just that he likes to fly supersonic speeds anyway. ”

"Supersonic flight fuel consumption is just larger, and the engine can withstand it." Niu Jun said.

Yi Xiaoyi said, "High power, large side slip, large elevation angle and small speed, as we all know, these things are the four states that the engine dislikes the most, and Captain Li occupies all four." ”

Niu Jun asked, "Isn't he just hypersonic?" ”

"Supersonic means high power." Yi Xiaoyi said, "When I was in Beiku, I heard his maintenance team say that Captain Li's combat concept is that speed determines everything, and he believes in the theory of blitzkrieg. But this is only one of his forms. Staff Officer Niu, you may not know that the low-altitude penetration training methods and standards that the navy and air force aviation units are now engaged in were flown out by Captain Li. It is said that his minimum speed at low altitude reached 250 kilometers per hour, which was the data of the J-7, which was infinitely close to the flight envelope. When he opened the Su Twenty-Seven, he flew past the minimum speed of one hundred and eighteen. ”

After a pause, Yi Xiaoyi pointed to the team of pilots sitting neatly on the small folding bench of the military, and said, "The pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade told me that Captain Li's flight movements are very aggressive, and he often maneuveres with large overloads, and large elevation angles and large sideslips are all large overload maneuvers. ”

He used the palm of his hand to act as an airplane to pose with a large elevation angle and a large sideslip, and said, "The engine of the plane is the hardest in this attitude. For example, when the engine is working in high working conditions, the car should be running wildly, but at this time, the brakes are stepped on to the end, and the tires quickly reach the critical point of friction to form a tire burning phenomenon, and the pain of the engine at this time can be imagined. ”

Niu Jun nodded slightly, "I understand what you mean." There is nothing wrong with saying this, senior brother, he drives a plane engine. ”

"The cost and scrap are not the same, the former can be used for overhaul, and the latter is scrapped directly, this is quite expensive, and the engine is expensive for so many parts of an aircraft." Yi Xiaoyi said.

Niu Jun argued, "Senior brother is also for work. ”

"There's always a degree." Yao Siyu said with a smile, and found that Niu Jun's face turned cold, and he immediately closed his mouth.

Hey, people are handsome, and they can really do whatever they want.

There is not much difference between working in the arsenal and joining the army, because of the nature of the work, there is very little communication with the locality, and there is a certain delay in understanding some developments and changes in society. Yao Siyu is good, the technical liaison office can still run around, but technical engineers like Yi Xiaoyi are a little miserable, I can't understand why girls nowadays look at their faces, and social values have become so superficial? What the hell is going on here?

The head of the general assembly made an enthusiastic finale speech, and he gave Xue Xiangdong the equipment and announced that 24 J-11B heavy air supremacy fighters had officially entered service.

Xue Xiangdong immediately gave the order to return to the field, and the pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, who had already finished their flight and dress, stood up and put on their flight helmets.

"Goodbye, chief." Xue Xiangdong saluted the head of the general assembly, said goodbye to the others separately, and then put on his flight helmet and ran to the front of the team.

He glanced at the soldiers with a serious face, looked at the brand-new fighters, and his emotions were uncontrollable excited, and he said in a deep voice, "My name is Xue Xiangdong, born in 1962, a native of Shandong, I joined the army in 1980, flew solo on July 11, 1981, and have been flying for 30 years until today. Over the past 30 years, I have asked myself if I am worthy of the military uniform on my body, the military emblem on my head, and the party and the people. Comrades, it is a great honour for me to fight alongside you. I am here, the future is yours, and I hope that you will always stay true to your original intention and firmly spread your wings and fly high towards the goal of strengthening the army. I, Xue Xiangdong, am proud and proud to be your commander! ”

"Get on board!"

He gave the order to board the plane.

All pilots boarded the plane in unison.

Xue Xiangdong was Nie Jianfeng's rear cabin pilot and boarded the plane with Nie Jianfeng. It was only Li Zhan who knew that Xue Xiangdong was old, and Li Zhan would definitely not say anything about it. Xue Xiangdong proposed to him to fly back with the troops, and Li Zhan agreed to come down. This was probably the last flight of the artillery brigade commander. Li Zhan's original intention was to let Xue Xiangdong fly alone, but Xue Xiangdong asked to sit in the back cabin, which was undoubtedly safer. So Li Zhan asked Nie Jianfeng to take the brigade commander to fly, and with Nie Jianfeng, an old driver, the brigade commander, he had the right to fly and travel.

It's just that Xue Xiangdong's words before boarding the plane made Li Zhan and the others mutter. Artillery brigade commander, what's the matter, you want to die or live, maybe it's because you're going to be grounded because of old flowers? After flying for thirty years, anyone would not be able to accept the sudden departure of their favorite flight, so Li Zhan understood.

However, when Xue Xiangdong asked to fly back to the Beiku combat training base with the troops, he told Li Zhan that he was going to do something excessive. Li Zhan thought that it was indeed too much to conceal Lao Hua's participation in the return flight, but he was only a rear cabin pilot, and there was no problem at all with Nie Jianfeng.

All in all, Li Zhan didn't feel very steady when he was about to board the plane, so he couldn't help but stop on the boarding ladder and look at Nie Jianfeng and Xue Xiangdong's J-11BS. Nie Jianfeng had already sat in the front cabin, Xue Xiangdong was still stepping on the boarding ladder, as if he felt that Li Zhan was looking at him, he stopped and looked over, and at a distance of more than thirty meters, Xue Xiangdong's hearty voice said to Li Zhan, "Li Zhan, you kid remember to do it well!" Do it well! ”

Xue Xiangdong actually took the initiative to salute Li Zhan, and then didn't look at Li Zhan again, and after sitting in the rear cabin, he seemed to be concentrating on preparing for the flight.

Li Zhan muttered, "What kind of wind is this cannon brigade commander?" ”

Eighteen J-11Bs and six J-11BSs slid out one after another and formed a neat column on the taxiway. The first elephant walk of the J-101B fleet of the 11st Aviation Brigade of the Air Force Aviation appeared on the outfield of the Shen Hoy Aircraft Plant. The J-11B and J-11BS fighter groups, all fully fueled, slowly drove towards the runway take-off line, and the roar of 48 Taihang aero engines enveloped the entire outfield.

The tower gave the order to take off. The fleet began to take off in succession in a two-plane formation.

"It's raining." Niu Jun felt a little cold on his forehead, and looked up at the sky to see the dripping rain line.

I don't know when the sky in the distance to the west became gloomy, which made people feel very oppressive and uncomfortable. The surroundings seemed to be quiet, and even the roar of the aero engine seemed to have disappeared. The rain line gradually intensified, and the fighters lining up to take off in the distance became blurred, but the take-off did not stop, and the planes quickly disappeared into the clouds and disappeared to the west.

God cried, why did he cry, and for whom.

The people on the ground did not move, they all stood in place, quietly watching the fighters take off until all the fighters were lifted into the air......
