Cheng Da didn't take it seriously, neither did the division leaders of the Great Red Eagle Division, and Li Zhan himself didn't report this idea to Xue Xiangdong.

In fact, no one will take this seriously.

Just modified the training, thinking about refueling in the air, what are you kidding!

Those who are not refueled aircraft are allowed to receive in-flight refueling training after flying for a year or two and accumulating hundreds of flight hours. It is often prudent to conduct training in high-risk subjects, especially in the current period when many commanders and fighters have not yet changed their thinking on combat training and are completely close to actual combat.

Cheng Da received in-flight refueling training only after becoming a flight captain, and you must know that he had been driving the J-10A for several years before that.

Modification training, you should modify the training well, don't think about the difficult subjects in the future.

Li Zhan put on white labor protection gloves and ruthlessly "blew up" the J-10A, just as he got five consecutive flight days of training time when the training base came down from the junior training plane to the higher education plane. Cheng Da also probably spent five of the most boring flying days of his training career. Every time he flies, he sits in the back cabin, and then he can think about his own things in a daze.

Cheng Da is very flustered in earning this rod fee, if the people who will train in the future are people like Li Zhan, it would be great.

In just five days, after careful research and analysis by the training team led by Cheng Da, Li Zhan was reluctantly and convincingly made the decision that Li Zhan could fly solo. The completion of the first stage of modification training in such a short period of time is one of the few in the army.

Flying is a high-risk and high-tech job, and even the modification training between the same aircraft type is carried out in strict accordance with the regulations. But Li Zhan shortened this process to the extreme.

Li Zhan flew solo, and Xue Xiangdong came to Shanshan Field Station from Beiku, thousands of kilometers away, and came to the tower with the commander of the Big Red Eagle Division.

It was close to ten o'clock in the morning, and the weather was wonderful, with a sunny wind of three meters and a temperature of twenty-six, which was a perfect flight day.

At the apron, the maintenance team has completed the pre-flight support work, and is waiting for the pilot's acceptance in a neat line on the nose side.

Cheng Da said to Li Zhan, "It's no problem to fly normally, your learning ability is really strong." But after all, it's a solo flight, and the chiefs are watching from the tower, so don't make a fierce flight first. ”

Li Zhan said confidently, "Please rest assured, Teacher Cheng, I will definitely not embarrass you." ”

"I believe it." Cheng Da patted Li Zhan on the shoulder, "Okay, after you successfully release the solo flight, you can fly the J-10 alone." ”

"It's been a long time coming!"

Li Zhan saluted Cheng Da, then accepted the fighter, signed, boarded, and walked down meticulously with a set of procedures, and showed a more serious and rigorous attitude than countless times in the past, because this was his first time alone with the J-10.

"Tower, I'm lucky, I'm ready to ask to slide out." Li Zhan called the tower.

The tower commander gave the order, "Good luck comes, allow to slide out, wait in the take-off position." ”

"Slide out of the take-off position and wait, understood." Li Zhan pushed the throttle lever slightly, released the brake, and the fighter scurried forward.

Cheng Da, who had already boarded another J-10A, shook his head helplessly. He had to follow Li Zhan to take off and fly with him, observe Li Zhan's flight attitude in the air, and guide Li Zhan.

Li Zhan was also slightly taken aback, and quickly clicked the brakes and then turned to the taxiway, quickly adapting to the specific situation of the fighter plane taxiing on the ground. Solo flying and flying with the main psychological easy to change, in the case of someone with the flight, the psychological reliance on the action most of the time will be confident and smooth. Li Zhan's flying skills are very powerful, but after all, he is operating a fighter plane that has only been in contact for five days.

It's just that it has been changed from a two-seater to a single-seater, oh, it's still Chengda's landline, and it will be Li Zhan's landline in the future, if there is no accident.

Smoothly came to the take-off position, and the tower commander called Li Zhan, "Good luck, do another pre-flight inspection." ”

"Good luck to receive." Li Zhan methodically inspected the various systems of the fighter, and compared with the second-generation aircraft, the various systems of the third-generation aircraft are really systems, such as the flight control system, the power system, the communication system, the fire control system, and the tactical mode system......

After checking them one by one, Li Zhan reported, "Tower, I'm fine, it's over." ”

"Good luck can take off." The tower commander gave the order directly.

The entire training airspace has been cleared.

Li Zhan pushed the throttle stick to the end without thinking, and the J-10A without any load slid briskly, reaching the allowable speed of only more than 400 meters, Li Zhan lifted the lever into the air without the slightest hesitation, maintaining a smooth climb on course.

Cheng Da took off behind him, more neatly and quite roughly, fully reflecting the level of an old bird who has flown a J-10 fighter for seven years.

Solo flights are generally arranged as a simple subject as an assessment of the pilot's ability to operate the aircraft alone, just like the assessment before the new recruit leaves the army. Moreover, this is a modified training to fly solo, and the Big Red Eagle Division is not hypocritical, and it is facing the Eagle Falcon King of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, and it is also the formulator of the three major actual combat training subject standards, so it is very simple to arrange a low-altitude penetration strike subject for Li Zhan.

Among so many actual combat training subjects, Li Zhan's low-altitude penetration strike is the best, and he is the benchmark, standard, and authority.

Therefore, the move of the Great Red Eagle Division was regarded by Xue Xiangdong as a release of goodwill.

"Good luck, your posture is good, keep it." Cheng Da, who was flying with him on the left wing, had been observing Li Zhan's flight attitude and gave feedback through the radio.

Li Zhan replied, "Understood, I'm going to enter the breakthrough route, it's over." ”

"Good luck can enter, over." The tower commander gave the permissible instructions.

After taking off from Shanshan Field Station from south to north, it turns around and flies south over Shanshan County, and then begins to descend to an altitude, performs a low-altitude penetration flight of 100 kilometers over a tropical mountain, and then turns around again and flies towards repeating the low-altitude penetration route, and then usually circles the field for two weeks at a time and then lands.

This was the flight route of Li Zhanfang's solo flight, and the whole process was planned to take 35 minutes.

Li Zhan did not continue to descend to an altitude of 300 meters, this is a dead rule, and he cannot engage in ultra-low-altitude penetration flights of several tens of meters at every turn. In fact, allowing him to fly 300 meters above ground height was already the greatest trust given by the Great Red Eagle Division.

Cheng Da didn't dare to be careless at all, and kept an eye on the side of Li Zhan's head.

In the tower, the division commander of the big red eagle joked to Xue Xiangdong, "Brigade Commander Xue, you are a treasure as a soldier, one person can drive the combat effectiveness of the entire army to improve." Qi Hong, who met the second division at the last meeting, said that when he talked about this matter, Qi Hong expressed great regret. ”

"He has something to regret. Li Zhan only fully grew up when he arrived in our Beiku, and it has nothing to do with the Second Division, and Qi Hong does not have such a thing as regretting or not regretting. Xue Xiangdong said with a smile, even more ruthlessly, directly denying the role of the second division.

The commander of the big red eagle division didn't quite see the domineering style of the Southern Batian, and said with a smile, "That's right, to speak from the heart, there is such a soldier, who you say is willing to let go, just because of a little bullshit to transfer people away, and he didn't even do a careful investigation, Qi Hong sometimes cares too much about what the place thinks of him." ”

"There's nothing wrong with cherishing feathers." Xue Xiangdong looked very generous.

"That's right." The commander of the Big Red Eagle Division nodded slightly, "If I have a soldier like Li Zhan, I won't change the Jian-10 of a regiment." ”

Xue Xiangdong smiled and said, "He also has shortcomings. ”

"Oh? This is fresh, all I hear is the merits, tell me? The commander of the big red eagle said.

Xue Xiangdong couldn't help but smile and said, "He works too hard in training, fights with the troops, and the high intensity is one after another, and the life of the aircraft is consumed quickly, especially the engine, oh, and aviation fuel." It costs a lot of money to raise this kind of soldier. ”

"It's nothing. These are all small things, how much aviation fuel can be consumed, small things, small things......"

"Tower, my engine is down."

Suddenly, a sentence came out, and the words of the division commander of the big red eagle were interrupted, and he subconsciously looked at the loudspeaker, it was Li Zhan reporting. Almost a second later, the commander of the big red eagle rushed to the command seat and grabbed the microphone directly.

"What's the good luck going on?" The commander of the Great Red Eagle Division was calm and composed.

At this time, Li Zhan was already on the second section of the low-altitude breakthrough route, flying at a low altitude from the south to Shanchang Station, with a ground height of 300 meters. Li Zhan was caught off guard, and without any warning, the engine speed quickly dropped to zero. At that moment, what came to Li Zhan's mind was the incidents of the J-10 in the past, almost all of which were due to engine failure, and the most dangerous situation was parking in the air.

Li Zhan calmly reported, "Tower, engine start failed, request to parachute!" ”

This is simply unheard of.

At that time, he did not give up when the No. 037 J-7E half-pulled body was burning, and he did not give up when the No. 101 J-8FR cockpit canopy was out of the airframe and was about to disintegrate, and even the No. 01 SU-27SK plunged into the blizzard weather after such a tragic combat maneuver, and he insisted on making a forced landing on the road.

He never took the initiative to ask for a parachute jump, but insisted on landing the plane on the ground every time when the tower commander ordered him to abandon the plane and parachute.

This time, he actually asked to skydive less than five seconds after reporting the danger.

Xue Xiangdong's reaction was the fastest, which showed that Li Zhan's danger was much more dangerous than any previous time. Everyone in the tower knew that Li Zhan's posture was that the engine was stopped at a height of 300 and an air speed of 500, which happened to be above the mountains, where the hills were dense.

"Let him skydive!" Xue Xiangdong couldn't avoid suspicion and said loudly.

"Tower! Let good luck come and skydive! He's almost hitting the mountain! Cheng Da, who accompanied the flight, said loudly.

The commander of the Big Red Eagle Division decisively gave an order, "Good luck to abandon the plane!" ”

From Li Zhan's report to the time the commander of the Big Red Eagle Division gave the order to abandon the plane, it was only eleven seconds.

Li Zhan pulled the ejection handle, the cockpit canopy was thrown, the seat ejected vertically upward, the parachute exploded and quickly opened, and the seat quickly separated from his body, and then Li Zhan watched the J-10A crash into a hill in front of him and suddenly exploded into a fireball and burned.
