When I landed at Beikuchang Station, it was already eleven o'clock at night, and the fuel was almost at the alarm value. This was a truly long-haul flight, and although the distance in a straight line was just over 1,000 kilometers, the time spent in the air was more than four hours.

Rao is as strong as Li Zhan, and he is also a little tired.

In the morning, he fired live ammunition with the bomber division, and in the afternoon, he and the Tiger target reporting team went to the side of Lake Ulun to see the scene. In this way, Li Zhan's flight time today has reached eight hours, and the rest of the time is all in working condition.

Niu Yaoyang and the others had already returned by the helicopter of the Army Airlines, leaving no trace at the Nankuchang Station, as if nothing had happened.

The regiment did not ask Li Zhan to understand the situation, tonight's live-fire training was classified into his "228" project research plan, and all the written materials would be directly submitted to him at that time, and Xue Xiangdong would not ask or let the regiment make any archives, even including the bomber division's live-fire training summary.

Li Zhan fell asleep.

Before the "West-2010" military exercise began, Li Zhan already had the feeling of fighting a big war, and after the adrenaline went down, a strong sense of tiredness came up.

However, there is no doubt that September 18 this year was a day of extraordinary significance for him. Perhaps in a few years, some relevant archives will be declassified, and the exploits and sacrifices of him and many others will be known to the world, and perhaps no one will ever know.

In the final analysis, the West-2010 exercise is the most important military operation of the year. In the next few days, Li Zhan led the officers and men of the Wang Brigade to burn their youth and aviation fuel, and practiced hard to kill the enemy, ready to fight at all times, pushing the targeted training before the start of the exercise to a climax.

The enthusiasm of the soldiers for the large-scale military exercise is indescribable, and from a personal point of view, participating in the large-scale military exercise is participating in the merit distribution activity. A high-level military exercise, competition, and training camp is a credit distribution competition.

According to incomplete statistics, a total of 21 first-class meritorious service medals and many more second- and third-class meritorious services were awarded during last year's "western" military exercise, and countless awards were given by divisions, brigades, and regiments. It's like a combat games, where each participating unit is each participating team, and it is to see who wins the most "medals" and who has the most "gold medals", and so on.

Without the Blues, it's up to who runs fast and who hits the target well.

Senior Colonel Bai Ou, commander of the 300th Division, personally led the team to participate in the "western" military exercise, and what he had been worried about all along was that the drill headquarters would suddenly change its plan and order them to conduct a confrontation drill with the western saboteur king. Since the Second Division suffered a big loss here, all the fighter divisions in the air force aviation units have become frightened, and even the other air force units are terrified.

The famous Nan Batian was pressed to the ground in his sleep and beaten violently without the slightest power to fight back, can such a result not be terrifying?

Could it be that you are better at fighting than Nan Batian?

The first division in the world, such as the 300 division, does not dare to say that it can defeat the second division 100%, at least Bai Ou does not have this absolute certainty.

was beaten on the tarmac by the equally "famous" western tattered king driving a second-generation plane, Qi Hong and Fang Chenghe, the two chief officers, have already become celebrities, and they were gritted by the head of the air division to "praise" the troops.

There is no need for the white gull not to raise vigilance, and always be ready to defend the prestige of the 300 divisions and the first division in the world.

If it is really for the King of Rags, oh, it should be called the King of Destruction now, and if you hold it down and pump it violently, the signboard of the first division in the world will be completely rotten in his hands.

In such a frightened way, while conducting targeted training, he was guarding against the sudden attack of the 73rd Division, which made the officers and men complain. "The wolf is coming" until the exercise command officially issued the order for the start of the "West-2010" joint military exercise.

It was 1 a.m. on September 24.

There is nothing difficult about such an exercise, and each combat unit is carried out in accordance with the combat plan, and to put it bluntly, it is a large-scale live-fire exercise with a script, which is aimed at testing the effectiveness of the troops' training over the past year. Live-force confrontation exercises are a way to enhance the combat capability of the troops in a way that is close to actual combat.

Li Zhan got all the battle plans, and he even had time to sit in his office and carefully study the huge battle plan with Nie Jianfeng.

Although the exercise was carried out according to the script, everyone, including Li Zhan, was not frustrated at all, because they could shoot live ammunition vigorously.

"The total amount of ammunition that is expected to be consumed in this exercise is 3,000 tons, and this does not include the small ammunition that the infantry units fight. After Li Zhan quickly skimmed through the overall battle plan, he handed it to Nie Jianfeng, who was sitting across from his desk.

Nie Jianfeng said as he looked at it, "There are tens of thousands of ground troops alone, hundreds of warplanes, more than 1,000 tanks and armored vehicles, more than 100 artillery pieces of various types, and 36 large-caliber multiple rocket launchers. Our air strike group alone will consume hundreds of tons of ammunition, not to mention those artillerymen, whose ammunition delivery per unit time is theoretically stronger than ours. ”

"That's not necessarily, you forgot that there are eight more H-6Ks." Li Zhan said with a smile, "If Chief of Staff Chen fires all ordinary aerial bombs, they can deliver eighty tons of ammunition in one wave. Besides, the artillery in the delivery distance cannot be compared with us. ”

Nie Jianfeng said, "Their large-caliber rocket artillery seems to be 300 millimeters, and it can hit four or five hundred kilometers with an extended-range projectile." ”

"It's all about tactical missiles." Li Zhan said with a wry smile.

Nie Jianfeng raised his head and said, "Yes, the Second Artillery Corps is big this time, you see, four launch battalions, I don't know their establishment, one battalion should have twelve launch vehicles, right?" ”

"I don't know, who dares to ask more about the Second Artillery, it should be about the same." Li Zhan said, "Forty-eight small launch vehicles, tsk, is definitely a big deal." ”

Nie Jianfeng also quickly finished browsing the overall combat plan, in fact, it mainly depends on the allocation of troops and material resources invested. They are all poor boys who can't beat a few shots all year round, and when they encounter this kind of big meal, they naturally care about what is on the table.

"Very good, we got a fifty-ton share." Nie Jianfeng grinned, "As I said before, you have to let us who are on duty on combat readiness participate in the two rounds." ”

Li Zhan said, "As long as you don't have time, I will definitely let you play a round." ”

can't participate in the whole process, but can't let the four people on combat readiness duty not participate in the whole process, so Li Zhan came up with a compromise method, let Nie Jianfeng and other four comrades in charge of the SU-27UBK fighter on combat readiness duty participate in a live firing and throw so many ammunition. Of course, it will not be aviation fire, either air-to-surface missiles or precision-guided munitions.

"How are you going to divide the fifty tons?" Nie Jianfeng asked.

The so-called 50 tons refers to the strike mission given by the training headquarters to the sabotage Wang Brigade, which has to throw and shoot a total of 50 tons of ammunition at the predetermined target. Including aerial fire, aerial artillery, air-to-surface missiles, and precision-guided bombs (aerial bombs with self-directed guidance and gliding capabilities, also known as precision-guided munitions, are actually improved on the basis of ordinary aerial bombs).

Each fighter can only carry three tons of ammunition at a time, not because the payload is not good, but because the pylons are not enough, and the training command has detailed requirements for the mount of each strike operation. There is no point in the exercises without the Blues, everything has to be done according to the rules.

But if you don't follow the regulations, there will be a lot of safety hazards, what if you are not careful and make the wrong position? Like the air-to-ground missile that Li Zhan missed last time, if it was not a simulated target of the Tiger Squad, but a civilian target with a strong radar beam signal signature, it would be a big deal for you to kill it with one shot.

Therefore, all matters involving live firing must be carried out in strict accordance with the procedures and requirements, and no one can be an exception. Of course, those impromptu live-fire training has a strong color of assault and actual combat, and it tests the troops' rapid reaction combat capability, so the procedural guidelines for conventional live-fire training are not used.

In such a large-scale military exercise, more than 2,000 tons of ammunition will be consumed, and there is absolutely no room for error. To put it bluntly, as long as the seven-day military exercise is completed smoothly and safely, then you will wait to receive the merits, and you will not need to make any outstanding performances.

If there is no problem, it is considered to be a good performance.

A flying leopard fell the year before last, and Hainan Airlines didn't come last year, and it didn't participate again this year. There have been more than a dozen large and minor accidents in the ground forces, and this is all good.

The coordinated exercise of the 101st Regiment, the No. 27 radar station, and the Doyer Battalion of the Army's field air defense unit were all able to show such a big oolong that Li Zhan was almost killed.

One of the very important factors for so many branches of the armed forces to rush to participate in the "western" military exercise is to participate in the cake.

Li Zhan sighed, "It's really not easy for everyone to make some credit in the non-war years." If you think about it, if this is a war year, what is the mere 30 or so first-class merits, not to mention an army, a division can exceed this number after fighting for three first two months. At present, there are more than 100,000 people indirectly involved in the two military regions and three branches of the armed forces, and there are 30,000 ground combat troops. Competing for more than 30 first-class merits, alas, it is frustrating to think about. ”

"I said, anyone can say this, but you can't! Do you have no points in your heart after a few first-class skills? Nie Jianfeng said with a glare.

Waving his hand, Li Zhan said, "Don't talk about this, continue to discuss the battle plan, or find a way to come up with something new." ”
