To be precise, Xixian Airport is just the name of the local people, and internally, it is called Xixian Station, which is at the deputy division level, and the level is very high, so there are rumors that this is the second largest air force airport in the country. In the counterattack against Vietnam, this was a front-line airfield, so the level and specifications continued.

In the final analysis, it is because the headquarters of the Second Division is here.

Li Zhan quickly became familiar with the situation, and compared with the flight training base, the atmosphere of the battle was a little stronger, and the flight tasks were a little heavier. He soon learned that, in addition to normal training, the 2nd Division turned out to be the number one main division on combat readiness duty in the south.

Others didn't know what that meant, but he knew it all too well. So I understand why there are so many single cadres in the regiment! Even Deputy Head Yu Chenglin has not yet married, he is thirty-five years old.

"I don't have time, I haven't taken a vacation for two years." Nie Jianfeng said to Li Zhan with a wry smile.

It was after dinner, and next to the pilot's dining room was the Officers' Activity Center. After dinner, pilots can be entertained, play cards, watch TV, or drink some tea, chat and exchange training experiences. Of course, there is also a karaoke room, and you can sing on holidays in the case of organization. There are basically all the entertainment and leisure facilities that should be available, and there is a gym.

At this moment, Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng were in the tea room watching the news while drinking some tea and chatting.

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Fortunately, my home is in Xixian County, and I can go back on Saturdays and Sundays." ”

"You're a local?" Nie Jianfeng was stunned, "You kid is so lucky." ”

Li Zhan said, "This is the only benefit of coming to the Second Division." If I stay on the North side, I should be able to fly J-10 soon. ”

Seeing Li Zhan's lonely appearance, Nie Jianfeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "There will be gains and losses." Besides, we will soon modify the J-11, a new domestic one, which is not comparable to those old guys of the Sixth Regiment. ”

Li Zhan shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't have a lot of interest in Sukhoi's fighters, so I like Jian-10." When I signed up to recruit flyers, I went to Jianten. I especially love its unofficial nickname, which is very much to my appetite! ”

"An unofficial nickname? Isn't it the Raptors, it's spread on the Internet. Nie Jianfeng said with a smile, "Now the nickname of our fighter is taken by netizens." ”

"It's not." Li Zhan said, "The unofficial nickname is the villain, the villain's evil, the villain's stick." ”

Nie Jianfeng was stunned for a moment, remembering a few "sticks" between the air intake and the fuselage of the J-10 fighter, and then laughed, "Villain, this name...... Good! Suitable! ”

He changed his words and said, "However, after all, the villain is a medium fighter, and the J-11 is a heavy air superiority fighter, which is completely two grades." Our army is equipped with J-10 and J-11 at the same time, which is for the consideration of high-end and low-grade use. ”

Li Zhan said, "Yes. The development direction of the J-11 is to move towards a multi-role fighter, taking into account ground strikes, and the J-11 is still mainly responsible for the task of seizing air supremacy in the final analysis. I still like villains, hehe. ”

"You kid." Nie Jianfeng was helpless and shook his head, "Li Zhan, you don't need to be lost. There are only a few units that have been modified with third-generation aircraft, and our Second Division is one of them. There are also many troops that use second-generation aircraft. Let's just say J-7, our fourth regiment still uses the E-type, which can fly at night and shoot thunderbolts, which is the latest model to equip the troops in batches. The other troops are still using the version from more than ten years ago, and there are still a bunch of daytime combat types in the western region. ”

Li Zhan smiled and smoked slowly.

Nie Jianfeng suddenly remembered something, and suddenly realized, "I forgot, you entered the air force talent pool, and flying and destroying the seven materials is useless." ”

"Squadron Leader, you're mistaken." Li Zhan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I mean. Half of our students will be able to fly to the third generation aircraft very quickly. ”

Spreading his hands, Nie Jianfeng smiled, "So, you relax." Flying a third-generation aircraft is a matter of time, and only sooner rather than later. ”

Li Zhan asked with a smile, "Squadron leader, when was the J-7E type of the Fourth Regiment refitted?" ”

"Zero three, what's wrong?" Nie Jianfeng said.

Li Zhan stood up and said, "This year is the fifth year, do you think the superiors will quickly modify the third-generation aircraft for us?" I exercised and sweated out. ”

He finished walking to the gym.

Nie Jianfeng was stunned, quickly understood what Li Zhan meant, and couldn't help but scold, "Damn, stinky boy, don't open any pot!" ”

After more than an hour of ironing, Li Zhan still felt unhappy.

Seeing that the time was still almost an hour before the evening shift meeting, he simply ran to the playground with long legs and began to run laps. The chest is blocked, and it is still not happy. For the other trainees, flying solo and directly participating in combat readiness duty just after leaving the unit, and successfully handling the unknown air situation when the long plane broke down and had to return home, this is something to be proud of, and it is a well-deserved first gun. Yet to him, these are nothing. When he was at the training base, the air situation in the East China Sea that he and his master participated in dealing with was much more powerful than this. If he hadn't had such an experience and performed well, how could he have joined the Air Force talent pool as a new recruit.

There were only a few people on the track, running slowly. There are family members with children, and there are old men and old ladies who gather together to move their bodies. Many years ago, the station was an independent small society with complete basic service facilities. The larger stations even have their own secondary schools. After several rounds of reforms, the children of the military units were uniformly sent to the localities to receive school education, and all other living services that could be separated were handed over to the localities.

Still, it can be daunting for some remote stations.

Li Zhan heard from his master that a few years ago, a division in the Northern Air Force was reorganized, and a J-7 regiment was assigned to the Guangkong Force. From the northeast to the south of the mainland, from the white mountains and black waters to the frontier of economic development, it should be a good thing. As a result, as soon as they learned that the assigned field was located in the mountainous area of eastern Guangdong, the living conditions took a sharp turn for the worse, and the cadres and family members of that regiment quit their jobs, and they were reluctant to move their nests even if they were to talk about it. As a result, a strange situation was formed - the division in Guangkong had two regiments on the southern side, and the other regiment was more than 2,000 kilometers away in the northeast......

Fortunately for Li Zhan, Xixian Station is very close to the county seat, and he can get home in half an hour by car. Despite this, for pilots, they are less together with their wives and children. Once the unit enters the peak period of training, the family members accompanying the unit must obey strict management. Even at the station, it is not uncommon for children to not see their father.

Thinking about it like this, Li Zhan's heart was somewhat balanced. The depression caused by missing the Jianshi gradually disappeared with the violent running. Moreover, if there is a giveaway, there must be gain, and choosing to come to Guangkong at that time didn't it mean that he gave up the early "date" with the "villain"?

"Are you Li Zhan?"

Someone was shouting behind him, Li Zhan stopped and looked back, a tall and handsome young man wearing a brand-name sportswear ran over with a smile on the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and saluted, "Zhang Xueyang, Squadron Leader of the First Squadron of the First Brigade of the Sixth Regiment." ”

Returning the salute, Li Zhan said, "Li Zhan, the seventh squadron of the third brigade of the fourth regiment, is a good leader." ”

Laughing and waving his hand, motioning for Li Zhan to walk slowly side by side, Zhang Xueyang said, "I'm not a chief, the second division that arrived two years earlier than you." You're a celebrity, and the second division doesn't know you. ”

Li Zhan was surprised and said, "The Second Division I arrived at today. ”

"I know, as soon as I arrived, I went up and dealt with the unknown situation single-handedly." Zhang Xueyang said with a smile, his eyes were very sharp and confident, "You are the first in so many years." ”

Li Zhan smiled and didn't know what to say, so he simply changed the subject, "Isn't the Sixth Regiment in Gui Province?" ”

"Those who came here today will stay for a year. Don't you know, the three flying regiments of the Second Division have to be transferred to the field for training once a year, didn't your four regiments go to eastern Guangdong? Zhang Xueyang explained.

"I see." Li Zhan suddenly realized.

Zhang Xueyang pointed at Li Zhan and said, "You are very powerful, but you have to continue to work hard, I look forward to you catching up." ”

Laughing and waving his hand, Zhang Xueyang ran up and walked away with long legs.

"Why should I catch up with you? Lao Tzu doesn't engage in base. ”

The brainless words made Li Zhan understand, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he left the playground.

After returning to the dormitory, taking a shower and wearing a big-brimmed hat in his spring and autumn clothes, Li Zhan ran downstairs when the assembly whistle sounded. All the single cadres of the Fourth Regiment live in this area. With the brigade as a unit, the various departments gathered and finished the roll call, got on the commuter bus, and then went to the auditorium.

Tonight's meeting is a big shift meeting, which is attended by all the cadres of the division, and it is also the last shift meeting this year, which has the meaning of summing up the work of the year, so it is very important, so all cadres participate in the shift meeting.

The cadres of the Second Division are very interesting, except for the division leaders on the rostrum, the cadres at the bottom are not arranged according to their job ranks, but are organized according to the battle. It is said that this is a rule set by the teacher. For example, according to the requirements of the two-plane formation, Li Zhan was Nie Jianfeng's wingman, so he sat on his right.

"This year, the only pilot who has been added in is that you have directly entered the combat group, and if you look at the rows behind you, it will take at least two months to fly solo." While waiting for the arrival of the division leader, Nie Jianfeng said to Li Zhan, "Strictly speaking, they can't be counted as pilots, at most they can be counted as flight students." ”

Li Zhan whispered, "Squadron leader, I just have more flying opportunities than others at the training base. Someone else has the same number of opportunities, maybe better than I did. ”

"Li Zhan, there is a saying, being too modest is also a kind of complacency." Nie Jianfeng said with a smile.

Thinking of Zhang Xueyang, who exuded a superior momentum all over his body, Li Zhan asked in a low voice, "Team Nie, do you know Zhang Xueyang?" ”

"Zhang Xueyang? Really rich? Zhang Xueyang of the Sixth Regiment, I know, not only me, but all the officers and men of the division know him. The rich second generation is very rich, and their flying skills are among the best in the division, and they fly the best in six regiments. Last year, he was promoted to the rank of major, and now he is a major. Oh, I was the same soldier as him. Nie Jianfeng said with envy, a little sour.

Li Zhan smashed his mouth, "Very rich?" ”

"Very rich." Nie Jianfeng whispered, "Do you know what his father does, the one who runs a flight school is a flying club, and he has his own airport with several planes. Alas, this is the real rich person, buying a plane is the same as buying vegetables, those who play luxury cars and yachts are weak. ”

"Yachts are so expensive." Li Zhan's eyes flashed in front of him, and he couldn't help but say that the cool plot of the online novel turning his hands over to the clouds and covering his hands for the rain made billions of dollars in a few months.

Nie Jianfeng said, "No matter how expensive it is, can there be an expensive plane?" There are not only helicopters, but also fixed-wing aircraft, and it seems that there is cooperation with the Civil Aviation Administration, and it is a designated unit to learn to pilot and test the pilot's license. You don't know about the plane, but it's important to maintain it on a daily basis. ”

Thinking that the life span of an airplane is calculated by hours, Li Zhanshen nodded approvingly, "So Zhang Xueyang is specially recruited, and he had an executive license before he joined the army, right?" ”

Nie Jianfeng gave a thumbs up, "You guessed it." That's right, he got a pilot's license before he was twenty-two years old, a fixed-wing aircraft, and worked as an instructor in his father's flying club for two years, and later enlisted in the army, directly as a captain, and directly modified Su Erqi. It is said that he can only be promoted to major after two years, but he is very powerful, and he was promoted in advance. Speaking of which, I have to admire, that kid is very talented. ”

"Talent does matter." Li Zhan was thoughtful.

At this time, Li Zhan basically understood, it turned out that Zhang Xueyang regarded him as his number one opponent, so he had those words on the playground. I set up an opponent on the first day of confusion, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"You're also very talented." Nie Jianfeng said.

Li Zhan couldn't help but feel a little inferior when he thought of the slightly difficult economic conditions at home, and shook his head with a bitter smile, "I just may have paid a little more sweat than others." ”

Patting Li Zhan on the shoulder, Nie Jianfeng said, "Being too modest is complacency. ”

When the words fell, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his own heart. First, there was Zhang Xueyang, and now there is another Li Zhan, each more talented than the other. He, the number one ace of the Fourth Regiment, wanted to rush into the ranks of the first-echelon pilots of the whole division, which added a bit of difficulty.

Comparisons are odious.

The two were talking, and after a while, the division leaders took their seats one after another, and the pictures of several other stations were also transmitted in real time, projected on the walls on both sides.

The officer on duty sorted out the team and reported to Colonel Qi Hong, political commissar of the division, and the presiding officer of the handover meeting was Colonel Fang Chenghe, chief of staff of the division headquarters, who announced the start of the last handover meeting of the year.

Li Zhan didn't see the division commander, but he found that the others seemed to be used to it.
