The western region is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the area is the Gobi Desert, with mountains, hills, high mountains, and plains, and a variety of terrains converge, making it a natural training ground.

Based on this, the Blue Army unit conceived by Li Zhan has a lot to do. It took him a week to cover a 100-kilometer radius with the station as the center, and three more days to submit a 30,000-word concept for the Blues Brigade.

The idea plan directly stunned Xue Xiangdong and Yang Jinshan, and even a well-informed high-achieving student like Yang Jinshan was stunned by Li Zhan's magnificent stroke.

Xue Xiangdong put down the thick concept plan, his bearded face was very serious, stared at Li Zhan, and said, "It is well written, the starting point and foothold are quite accurate, based on the existing conditions, the construction of a new type of blue army unit, the station base, and the first simulated blue army base of the air force." It has a thorough understanding of the topography and topography of the region, a very thorough use of the existing equipment, and a bright spot in tactics, which is quite close to the air force of a strong enemy. All things have been considered, and it's clear that you've worked hard. ”

"However, there is a small problem. ”

Staring at Li Zhan, he asked, "Comrade Li Zhan, could you please tell me, is your idea plan for the regiment or for the air division?" ”

Yang Jinshan couldn't help laughing out loud, and hurriedly covered it up.

raised his chin slightly, but Li Zhan was not self-conscious at all, and said, "Commander, if you don't have ideals, what's the difference between being a man and salted fish." If a force does not have the ambition to develop, how will it develop in the future? You often give us chicken blood and say that the 101st regiment will not be unknown forever, and one day in the future we will definitely be able to overtake in corners and directly modify the fourth-generation aircraft. ”

Pointing to the concept plan on the table, Li Zhan rubbed his nose and wanted to smoke, but he held back and said, "So far, there is no professional tactical training base for the Air Force Aviation Corps, and the professional tactical training base I am referring to is a permanent base for professional simulated Blue Army troops, like the Zhu Rihe base of the Army. Not only the hardware for training, but also for opponents, professional opponents. ”

"In my personal opinion, the 101st Regiment and even the 73rd Division have only this opportunity to achieve corner overtaking. The superiors asked our regiment to be responsible for forming a mock blue army brigade to use as a whetstone for the aviation units in the military region, and no other restrictions were made. Why don't we just let it go? Although the conditions are limited, we can do it step by step, and a small step every day is a big step every year, and a big step of the 101st Regiment is a small step in the development of the air force, and we will eventually make a strong contribution to the modernization of the people's air force......

"Stop." Xue Xiangdong raised his hand and made a stop gesture, "The political commissar is not at home, you let me have a peaceful birthday for two more days." ”

Yang Jinshan laughed, and Li Zhan was also very embarrassed, so he couldn't help laughing too.

After splitting the cigarette, Xue Xiangdong took two puffs and said, "Okay, I will believe in your theory of small steps and big steps, you can tell me specifically, what do you want to do?" ”

"Focus the resources of the whole regiment on this matter." Li Zhan said categorically, "Either you don't do it, or you have to do it, go all out." Our regiment has not had a very heavy task for many years, except for combat readiness. To tell the truth, the atmosphere in the regiment is very dull and does not have much vitality, if it weren't for the regiment commander, you are highly respected, I estimate that the 101st regiment would have sunk long ago. ”

With this slap, Xue Xiangdong raised his body backwards and smiled reservedly, the credit is all his. Under the foothills of the desert is twenty years, giving his life to the head of the regiment, he not only has hard work, but also indelible credit.

Li Zhan looked at Yang Jinshan and said, "This concentration is not an ordinary concentration, but a highly absolute concentration. All the resources, all the focus of the work, must be carried out around the work of professional blue-armying. We don't have money, but there is a place, such a big place, if you talk about the available area, the North Reservoir Station can be ranked in the forefront of the whole army, right? As long as we have perseverance and persevere to the end, victory will eventually belong to us, and the enemy will tremble under our crotch......"

"Stop, stop!" Xue Xiangdong once again raised his hand to stop Li Zhan's words, "Don't fight chicken blood, my head is dizzy." Li Zhan, what you said is right, what are you talking about, how do you do it? ”

Yang Jinshan spread his hands and said, "Yes, the big framework is in place, and the guiding ideology is also in place, so if you want the whole regiment to concentrate resources on this matter, I don't think it's a big problem." You didn't mention exactly how to do it in your plan. ”

Anyway, the group is so full of belongings, and even if you concentrate it, you can't support your ambitions.

"Regiment commander, deputy regiment, the strong enemy crosses the river by feeling the stones, let's cross the river by touching the strong enemy. The reason why I didn't make a specific plan is because I think it would be more appropriate to copy the model of a strong enemy. All in all, we will make up how they are formed, we will use whatever tactics they use, and even their numbers, code names, and the way they use combat language, and so on, in short, the principle is to make as many similarities as possible. If I had to make the first move, I think I'd first change the livery of the fighter to the exact same as that of the strong enemy Air Wing. ”

Xue Xiangdong and Yang Jinshan were stunned, this is too much, right?

"This, this will affect the political construction of the army, right?" Xue Xiangdong asked uncertainly.

Li Zhan said, "Absolutely not. It's just a change in the tactical organization of the troops, and to put it bluntly, it means that the set of training methods of the strong enemy has been brought over, and the work in other aspects is of course how to do it or how to do it. ”

Yang Jinshan, who was thoughtful, touched his chin and said, "It's a little interesting." ”

After a little contemplation, Xue Xiangdong said decisively, "Okay, then report to the division like this, Li Zhan, you can start working on it now." ”

Li Zhan asked uncertainly, "Regiment commander, will the division headquarters approve it?" ”

"I'll figure it out, my face still has some effect." Xue Xiangdong smoked a cigarette and said in a deep voice, giving Tian Ji a style of "I don't know if I can withstand it".

He is coarse and detailed, at first glance, he is impatient and has decided on a big thing in just a few words, but in fact, he has been carefully calculated and analyzed many times in his heart, and there must be a variety of plans formed in his heart. Yang Jinshan is the deputy commander of the operations regiment and has served in the 101st Regiment for ten years. He knew very well that as long as the regiment commander agreed and supported the things to be done, it is difficult to say whether the expected results could be achieved in the end, but there would definitely be no problems.

Some people say that this is the embodiment of Xue Xiangdong's ability, and some people say that Xue Xiangdong just has good luck following him all the time.

If it is the latter, when encountering such an unlucky soldier as Li Zhan, it can also play a neutralizing role.

Li Zhan said, "Regiment Commander, since that's the case, I'll do it." First of all, I have to select pilots and maintenance personnel throughout the regiment, and I have to pass an assessment test for every soldier. ”

"No problem, you just let it go."

Xue Xiangdong waved his hand, and his crisp and neat style of action was vividly reflected.

Is there anything else in the 101st regiment that cannot be lost, or what else is worth losing? J-6 or J-7 bar two? Gone, nothing. So, do you still need to be worried? If a person is extremely poor, he doesn't care about being poor, because he has already touched the bottom. A troop is equipped with garbage like this, what is there to worry about? If you do a good job, it will be better than now. It's not a big deal, it's a big deal to maintain the status quo, and it's been maintained for decades anyway.

The Second Division had many concerns, but the Seventy-third Division had none.

When Li Zhan unfolded his fists and feet, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he was like a fish in water, completely unrestrained. For example, he proposed that the pilot trolley fee of the simulated blue army brigade should be increased and higher than that of the brother troops, so as to reflect the special nature of the simulated blue army brigade and the pilots have a sense of honor.

He just mentioned it, and he didn't think it could be achieved at all.

As a result, the regiment held a meeting of the regimental party committee to discuss the plan, and after forming a resolution, it was reported to the division headquarters, which approved it as quickly as possible.

The tie-rod fee for pilots of the simulated Blue Brigade was set at 325 blocks per hour, which was 25 blocks higher than that of the brother units and 75 blocks higher than the other two brigades.

Li Zhan was excited!

Finally, I don't need two hundred and five.

It turns out that Xue Cannon is not only a mouth cannon, but also a real cannon!

Li Zhan said on the spot that he would definitely die, and then he would fight to the end, and he would definitely do a good job in the simulated blue army brigade!

Xue Xiangdong and Yang Jinshan, who is in charge of the simulation training team, can see that Li Zhan, this kid is a dog, and he wags his tail when he throws a bone, even if you kick him a few times before that. However, this is a simplification of the contradiction, as long as the rod fee is in place, this soldier is easy to manage. Xue Xiangdong couldn't understand why such a good second division couldn't manage it well?

Qi Hong: Let's see, there are times when you cry.

According to the plan, the 101st Regiment Simulated Blue Army Brigade is a large-scale brigade, with 18 J-7 fighters in the best condition in the regiment, 18 carefully selected pilots, and a carefully selected maintenance squadron.

As soon as the plan was announced, the whole group was in an uproar.

The regiment is notoriously poor, why is it suddenly so generous? Everyone couldn't believe it at first, and then they were eager to try, and their spirits went up a lot at once, and the fiery passion felt like they were going to melt the snow all over the ground.

When the list of responsible cadres of the mock Blue Army Brigade was announced, Li Zhan suddenly became a sweet spot in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment, and he finally got rid of the days when he was poked in the backbone and scolded by the broom. Then the threshold of his dormitory was almost broken. Next to the small courtyard of the regiment leaders is a small courtyard for cadres at or above the deputy battalion level, and the three rows of bungalows are laid out in the shape of a "door", and Li Zhan lives in room 101.

After dealing with the pilots who came to report on their work, Li Zhan began the work of selecting personnel. The pilot is the center of gravity, the foundation, and the cornerstone. The pilot is also the only factor that Li Zhan can control. You can't control the level of equipment, anyway, it's the J-7 bar two, which is at least fifteen years behind the E type that the second division will eliminate, and it was once called the B type.

Li Zhan can't open the sixth master, and it is impossible to open it in this life.

The only thing left to control is the pilot. As long as the overall level can reach two-thirds of his, Li Zhan will have the confidence that all the fraternal troops who came to challenge him will sink into the sand and "die" on this desert.

Li Zhan must learn to be an instructor and learn to be a leader, not only to fly well himself, but also to fly well with his troops. Unable to get in touch with the master, he approached Political Commissar Chen from the original training base, hoping to get help. Knowing that Li Zhan had become the captain, Political Commissar Chen sent him relevant teaching materials without saying a word, and encouraged him to roll up his sleeves and work hard. Political Commissar Chen didn't even know that he was "assigned" to the 73rd Division, and Li Zhan was embarrassed to say it.

While strengthening his own study, he began to study all the files of the pilots in the regiment, and in the days when he didn't fly a plane, Li Zhan also felt that he had a very fulfilling life.

Time flies, and it's New Year's Day in the blink of an eye. After the New Year's Day, the regiment started training and mobilization, and the assessment and testing work officially kicked off.

On a flight day in good weather, Li Zhan stood in the tower for the first time as a scrutinist.
