The locals all know that there is an airport in the western suburbs of the county, and they know that it is the airport of the army, which is only four or five kilometers away from the city.

People in West County have been accustomed to "that loud" plane flying overhead for decades. The sound of fighter planes taking off and roaring and climbing was very loud, and the sky over Xixian was the training airspace of the Second Division. When flying at supersonic speeds, the sound is even more deafening.

When Li Zhan was a child, he flew kites on the rooftop, and he saw the scene of fighter jets whizzing at low altitude many times. The altitude was very, very low, and he could even clearly see the pilot wearing a white helmet as the plane turned. The kite gave people the illusion that it was going to collide with a fighter plane.

It's a pity that he didn't come to Xixian Airport once. Here, for decades, it was a strictly managed military area, and idlers were not allowed to approach.

The warrior car sent him to the front of the three-story building, and Zhang Wei strode him upstairs. Li Zhan was dressed in winter clothes, carrying a duffel bag on his back.

"The division commander is on combat duty, and the political commissar is on duty, so you have to report to the political commissar." Zhang Wei pointed to the duffel bag that Li Zhan was carrying and explained.

Li Zhan hurriedly said, "Understood." ”

Don't look at the difference in rank between the two, and Zhang Wei is still a battalion-level cadre, two levels higher than Li Zhan, the deputy company level, but Li Zhan will not take Zhang Wei as the leader, and Zhang Wei will not put on the shelf of his superiors. The reason is very simple, Li Zhan is a pilot, and Zhang Wei is an operational staff officer. There is a phenomenon in the air force that as long as you fly in the sky, you will see a senior officer.

Not a prescript, of course, but a phenomenon that has existed for a long time. Moreover, Zhang Wei knew that Li Zhan was a member of the Air Force talent pool. There are thousands of officers and men in the Second Division, and very few officers and men can be selected into the air force talent pool.

It is not easy to train a qualified pilot, and it takes a huge amount of resources to train an excellent pilot, which is a baby bump.

Within two or three minutes, the personnel of various departments had arrived at their posts, but the office building seemed to be lively for a long time, and from time to time there were staff officers holding folders or throwing off their arms and walking briskly in the corridors. The people seen, whether officers or non-commissioned officers, were hats, belts, and pistols on their waists. This is the combat attire of the agency personnel.

The atmosphere of the battle is very strong.

"There is an important training mission today, and the chiefs are either on duty or in the sky." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"This is a level 1 combat readiness." Li Zhan said.

Zhang Wei nodded, "That's right, a large number of transfers." ”

Li Zhan admired: "The Second Division really lives up to its name, and it deserves to be the prestigious "Southern Batian". ”

With the momentum of the cadres of the organs, they can already overwhelm other troops. Only when there is morale can there be momentum, and the combat effectiveness of troops without momentum must be put under a question mark, no matter what units of the army, navy, and air force are used.

Stopping in front of the office on the third floor with the political commissar's sign, Zhang Wei knocked on the door, and waited inside for a while before a loud voice came, "Come in!" ”

Zhang Wei pushed open the door, took two steps inside, and saluted, "Report!" Commissar, the last new comrade of the year has been brought back! ”

It's December, and new pilots usually start the camp in the last month of the year, which is about the same time as the other branches of the military.

Seeing Zhang Wei glaring at him, Li Zhan stepped in, put down his duffel bag, and saluted, "Report to the chief!" Li Zhan, a 2005 graduate of the Fourth Flight Academy, was ordered to report to the school! ”

What surprised Li Zhan was that the political commissar was very young, tall and handsome, with sword eyebrows and big eyes, and an angular face. completely subverted his perception of the division's political commissar. The political commissar of the college and the political commissar of the base are all faces of the Anti-Japanese War, with a strong taste of political workers. That kind of person is that you don't need to ask, you can know at a glance that they are engaged in political work.

The political commissar of this division is more in line with the image of the cutting-edge commander of the fighter regiment.

"Oh, Comrade Li Zhan, hello." The political commissar was very kind, and while packing up the documents on the desk and filling them in the briefcase in an orderly manner, he said, "You are the head of Guangkong who asked for it from the north, and you are a top man." Our second division is a trump card. It's a big stage here. I've heard you're a local, so that's even better. You can go home on Saturdays and Sundays. ”

He speaks in a gentle tone, making people feel like a spring breeze, and he doesn't feel that it is disrespectful for you to talk to you while he is busy with other things.

"Order, let me go here, Staff Officer Zhang, you take him there...... Let's go to the fourth regiment, give it to He Datou, he has come to the division headquarters to ask for someone to come several times, give it to him! The political commissar arranged the matter in a few words.

Li Zhan hurriedly handed over the transfer order, and then the two saluted and said goodbye to the political commissar.

After getting into the warrior car, Li Zhan said, "The political commissar is really young and has the style of a military cadre. ”

"Political Commissar Qi was originally a political worker turned from a military commander, and the youngest division political commissar in Guangkong." Zhang Wei briefly introduced, "Political Commissar Qi is a cadre who was exchanged from HNA, and he turned out to be the head of the 9th Division of HNA, and directly served as the political commissar of our 2nd Division. ”

"Cross-service skipping promotion?" Li Zhan whispered.

Zhang Wei looked at Li Zhan with an inscrutable expression and didn't say any more.

Inter-service transfers are not uncommon for pilots. There are too many pilots in the Navy and Army Airlines who have been transferred from the Air Force. At that time, the Navy and Army Airlines were formed, and even the whole system was simply drawn up, and the number was added with a military prefix, and there was no need to change clothes. A few months ago, a batch of army and aviation transfer helicopters came to Li Zhan's training base, and those pilots were wearing flight uniforms from the Air Force.

But the position jumped directly from the main regiment to the main division, which is a bit unusual.

"Li Zhan, you are lucky, the fourth regiment is stationed here, together with the division headquarters. If you get to five or six regiments, you have to run hundreds of kilometers. Zhang Wei said, pointing to a courtyard in front of him, and said, "In front is the regimental headquarters of the fourth regiment." ”

Li Zhan was most concerned about when he would be able to fly the SU-27, so he asked, "Staff Officer Zhang, how long is the general training time of our division?" Trimester? ”

"Half a year." Zhang Wei said, looking at the disappointed look in Li Zhan's eyes, and then said, "But it's not fixed. Some people are faster to get acquainted with the situation, and it will be faster to fly solo. This is not a problem for you at all, you are the top student of the Fourth Flight Academy, and you have been flying the J-7 at the training base for a year. You have to get started, it's nothing more than to get familiar with the airspace environment, the climate here is quite different from the north......"

Li Zhan couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Wei's words, "Staff Officer Zhang, the second division should have a two-seater Su Erqi, and the new training is still a flying Jianqi, which has no effect at all." ”

"Hahaha, it works." Zhang Wei said with a smile, "The fourth regiment is equipped with Jian-7, the new training flight Jianjiao 7, you have been flying this model in the training base for a year, you have no problem at all." ”

Li Zhan was stunned.

"You, what are you talking about, four, the fourth regiment is equipped with Jian-seven? How is this possible? How is that possible? So where did Su Liangqi go? Li Zhan didn't believe it at all, and asked Zhang Wei with his eyes, his voice was a little uncontrollably raised, so that it attracted the driver's surprised gaze.

Zhang Wei was taken aback, "Xiao Li, what are you doing in such a surprise." ”

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Li Zhan apologized, "I'm sorry Staff Officer Zhang, I, I just can't believe it." Isn't the second division three generations, how can there still be Jian-7? ”

"Where did you hear the news?" Zhang Wei was not surprised by this kind of stunned young man who had just left the school, and said, "In the middle of this year, the Fifth Regiment began to renovate the Destroyer, and now it has only changed one squadron. Of course, let's not talk about the Sixth Regiment, they used the Su 27 imported in 96. In that year, forty-eight aircraft were imported, half of the third division, half of our second division, and all of them were given to the sixth regiment. ”

Only then did Li Zhan know that there was only one SU-27 regiment in the second division.

Simply, Zhang Wei briefly introduced the three fighter regiments, and Li Zhan then had a general understanding. Of the three flying regiments, the equipment of the fourth regiment is the worst, the J-7 is used, the fifth regiment is slightly better, equipped with the J-8, and the sixth regiment is a sharp knife, and it can even be said that it is the sharp knife of the whole air force, because they are the only two regiments equipped with SU-27.

Their position has remained unchanged over the past decade or so. However, this is an irony, because for almost a decade, the Air Force has not had a new fighter to replace the old and backward little ones.

After some introduction, the warrior car drove into the regimental headquarters compound of the fourth regiment.

Li Zhan also accepted his fate, although he regretted it again and again, but the military order was like a mountain, and it was impossible for the order to change overnight. I can only hope that the modification progress will be faster, and after the modification of the fifth regiment is completed, it will reach the fourth regiment.

The process may be a year, maybe two years, maybe longer. Li Zhan knew that there were times when troops were waiting for new models to be modified, and it was not unusual to wait for more than ten years.

The regimental headquarters compound of the Fourth Regiment is more than two kilometers away from the divisional headquarters, and in fact one is on the southeast side and the other is on the south side. It can be seen that Xixian Airport is so large that it is said that it can rank second in area among all the air force airports. The straight-line distance between the regimental headquarters compound of the fourth regiment and the tower is only 500 meters, which is also convenient for daily command training.

Except for a long two-story building in the center, the entire courtyard is full of bungalows, and the floors and rooftops are also painted with camouflage camouflage, and the combat atmosphere comes out all of a sudden.

It's just that when Li Zhan thought that it was Xiao Qi who flew again, he had no passion at all.
