Chapter 118: North Finger Calls
It was getting brighter again, but visibility wasn't getting any better, but the rest of the data was normal.
Flying in a low-visibility environment is a test of the pilot's mental quality.
Li Zhan came to the tower and prepared to personally direct the training of Han Hongjun and Li Zixin.
He Xue Xiangdong and Yang Jinshan readjusted the flight route according to the chart, avoided the foggy areas in the mountainous areas, and adjusted the altitude of entry and withdrawal. These were both Xue Xiangdong's intentions and Li Zhan's intentions, and Li Zhan did not blindly adhere to his principle of being strict and difficult, because he had just experienced the real situation of piloting an old fighter plane under the same meteorological conditions.
Even the J-7 at the training base is more advanced than the J-7II.
Li Zhan calmly focused his training on take-off and landing, eating one bite at a time, so as not to support his stomach problems.
But the feeling of the Mist Sword is super good.
At 6:45 a.m., the field support company used the newly "purchased" Hangfa snow plow to provide emergency support for the runway, and the runway reached the take-off and landing standards in ten minutes, and the efficiency was not ordinarily high. Light snow was falling all the time, as fine as dust filled the air, and a thin layer of snow could form within an hour or two of falling. Therefore, the field support company had to remove this thin layer of snow before the next round of flight operations.
When Li Zhan went to the flight briefing room to explain the new training mission to Han Hongjun and Li Zixin, Xue Xiangdong also followed, and repeatedly emphasized the safety issue after Li Zhan finished speaking, which made Han Honghua and Li Zixin feel quite embarrassed.
After careful consideration, Li Zhan said to the two, "There are two key points, first, climb through the clouds after taking off. I just wore it once, the airflow is very strong, the crosswind in the clouds is relatively strong, and it is not a big problem to climb firmly with a good pole. The second place is the landing link. The clouds cover the station, but if you follow the prescribed route, you can easily see the station and find the runway. ”
He asked, "This basically dictates the course of your route, is there anything else wrong?" ”
Han Hongjun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Captain, what is the subject ......of encountering enemy planes on the way back?"
"Don't do it, the situation in the sky is more complicated, don't do it this time." Xue Xiangdong waved his hand and made a final decision.
But he found that Han Hongjun did not respond, but looked at Li Zhan.
Li Zhan nodded slightly, "Don't do it for the time being, follow the latest briefing." Prepare for the signal. ”
After speaking, he and Xue Xiangdong returned to the tower.
Han Hongjun and Li Zixin were beating in their hearts, and the captain had changed a little bit before and after, obviously because the regiment commander had put pressure on him. However, a few minutes later, when they got up to the heavens, they realized that the change in the captain was actually from the sky, and the situation was a little more complicated than expected.
At the emergency dispatch signal, Han Hongjun and Li Zixin rushed out of the flight briefing room, boarded the fighter plane that had already started, and taxied to the take-off position.
Li Zhan saw the opportunity and gave an order, "Two crutches, three crutches, check and take off." ”
"Received on two crutches!"
"Received on three turns!"
The throttle stick of the Han Red Army pushed to the end, turned on the afterburner, released the brakes, and the J-7II fighter rushed forward like a bison, with a long airspeed tube like a spear in the hands of a lancer. When he rose from the ground, Li Zixin started to slide and run, with the same operation, taking off with afterburner, and pulling onions off the ground on dry land.
The neat and neat single planes took off one after another, and the spacing between them was very good, and it could be seen that the ground training was very skillful. 33 starters
"Two turns, turn left, course 270, ascend height 13,000, over." Li Zhan gave a new order to Han Hongjun.
Han Hongjun repeated the order, "Turn to the left, course 270, altitude 13,000, two turns." ”
With this, Li Zhan gave Li Zixin an order, "Three turns, turn right, course 270, height 15,000, pay attention, the height difference between you and the two turns is two thousand, over." ”
Li Zixin replied, "The three turns are received, and the right turn continues to turn to 270, with an altitude of 15,000 and an altitude difference of 2,000, and it is over." ”
The two J-7II flowers bloom in the process of climbing, turning left and right respectively to continue climbing, and after completing the command requirements, the two fighters will eventually go to the same route in the same direction, but there is an altitude difference of two thousand meters.
Altitude difference is a very important requirement and is key to avoiding mid-air collisions. If there is no altitude difference, there is a possibility that Han Hongjun and Li Zixin will collide, because they are on the same course and in the same route.
When conducting air combat training, the first thing to be determined by the troops is the altitude difference, and the pilots participating in the training conduct air combat in strict accordance with the demarcated route. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)
However, the existence of the altitude difference tied the hands and feet of the pilots, and they could only occupy the attack position, attack, and disengage invariably, and for many years they were the same. Not to mention the 73rd Division, it will be the same air combat training mode as Nan Batian.
Li Zhan's air target training during his service in the Second Division was actually air combat training, and his position at that time was higher than Nie Jianfeng, who acted as a target aircraft, to avoid the possibility of a collision.
He has already realized that this mode of air combat training has seriously restricted the improvement of combat effectiveness, and it cannot be called "free air combat" at all. 33 starters
When you start a battle, the enemy won't agree on an altitude difference with you!
However, after experiencing some things, Li Zhan will not be in a hurry, eat the meal in one bite, and if the medicine is too strong, not only can it not break the ice of the old thinking, but it may also be hurt by the rebound.
As long as the take-off and landing links of Han Hongjun and Li Zixin can be completed beautifully, this flight training under complex meteorological conditions can be regarded as passing. He was no longer embarrassed to mention "combat training", at best flight training.
Han Hongjun, who was climbing through the clouds, finally understood why Li Zhan lowered his requirements, at this moment he and his landline were trembling violently, under the influence of strong air currents, the fighter plane swayed as if it had been knocked with medicine, and occasionally a strong crosswind came, and he could clearly feel that the fighter plane was a lonely boat in the sea, and there was a danger of overturning at any time. The most palpitating thing is that there are clouds everywhere you look, you can't see anything, you don't know if it's a mountain or something else, and the fear of the unknown always dominates the mood.
At this time, there is no other way but to persevere, he knows that there is nothing but the sky upward, as long as he firmly believes in this, he can overcome the fear of the unknown.
When it suddenly became clear in front of him, the attitude of the fighter plane stabilized, Han Hongjun only felt tight, and the bottom of his right foot rose straight to his head, which made people feel refreshed.
After enjoying the pleasure for a while, he glanced at the altimeter, and Han Hongjun reported happily while leveling up, "Tower, two turns, heading 270, altitude 13,000, over." ”
"Hold on." Li Zhan replied.
Immediately, Li Zixin also reported the situation, and Li Zhan asked him to maintain his current posture and fly.
When he was thirty kilometers away from the main peak of the North Reservoir, Li Zhan gave an order to the two, "Two turns, three turns, thirty kilometers away from the target, search and attack by yourself, return as planned, and finish." ”
"The two crutches understand, search for attacks on their own, and return home as planned."
"I received it on my own, and I searched for the attack and returned home."
This is the only link that Li Zhan reserved for them to act on their own, and it is also the easiest link. Such a big target, after determining the attack route, enters the dive and then disengages, it is as light as water. Moreover, the return route arranged for them is also from high altitude, avoiding the fog and air currents in the mountains. Li Zhan had just flown over, and he also thought it was better to be safe, after all, Han Hongjun and Li Zixin had no experience in flying in mountainous areas under complex meteorological conditions before.
Climb to altitude and return home, avoiding both mountain fog and clouds at medium and low altitudes, which is no different from the usual flight. The challenge is to find the landmark, and then find the runway to land. Li Zhan explored the road and demarcated the route, so there was not much difficulty. Due to visibility problems, Han Hongjun and Li Zixin respectively went through the field once, and after the tower confirmed that the landing gear was lowered normally, they turned around and flew four turns and landed according to Li Zhan's previous route.
After the last Li Zixin slid out of the main runway, Li Zhan's heart also relaxed. Probably only through personal experience can Li Zhan understand Xue Xiangdong's worries as the first person in charge. He can think about nothing in the sky, and it is better to fly the plane well than anything else, and the ground commander has to consider all other factors and influences that the pilot does not consider.
As a person who came over, Xue Xiangdong said to Li Zhan with a smile, "How do you feel, do you realize what it means to be worried?" The ground commander is like a mother who lets go of her children to the wilderness, and when she comes back safely and when she is relieved. The so-called landing is safe, and only when it is safely landed can we feel at ease. ”
"Commander, it's safe to be in the bag." Li Zhan corrected, retorting in his heart, I am your father.
Xue Xiangdong said, "It's not wrong to land for safety, it is the ultimate pursuit of our flight." ”
If you think about it, isn't every take-off always looking forward to ending with a safe landing? Whether it's daily training or engaging the enemy, if you can return home safely, you are the winner - the loser does not deserve to return.
Li Zhan said, "Regiment commander, I still insist on training close to actual combat, but I also agree to work steadily and steadily, step by step." ”
"It's good that you think so, I'm worried that you don't care about pushing too hard, boy, do you really think the flight safety pacesetter is sarcastic?" Xue Xiangdong smiled very meaningfully, "The 73rd Division has been stationed on the border of the motherland for decades, if it is only pursuing flight safety, who will defend the airspace?" You are too young, learn slowly and realize slowly. ”
Li Zhan heard the meaning of the words, which caused deep thought. He has always believed that the so-called flight safety pacesetter unit, flight safety and flag division, is another kind of irony for combat units. But Xue Xiangdong's words made him realize that maybe his views were too one-sided. Is there a secret plot in this?
He was about to ask Xue Xiangdong, but Xue Xiangdong talked to Yang Jinshan about other things. Seeing this, Li Zhan immediately walked to the timekeeper and asked to come to the registration form to take a closer look.
He's been holding it for a long time. Calculated that his flight time was one hour and forty-five minutes, and he smiled and nodded. According to the calculation principle, one hour and forty-five minutes is counted as two hours, which means that the 650 yuan tie rod fee is in hand today.
The red phone in the tower used to contact the North Finger (North Reservoir Command Post) rang, and Yang Jinshan, who was closest to it, immediately picked it up, "Yang Jinshan of the 101st Regiment of the North Reservoir Field!" Be! Be! Got it! Be! Got it! Resolutely complete the mission! ”
