At the beginning of May, in the Beiku Mountains, the mountains are still covered with snow, and the bottom of the mountain can't wait to change into green clothes, and many flowers that are not afraid of the cold have also emerged, swaying their branches in the morning sun.

The snow on the mountain melts and flows down into a river, which zigzags down the mountain and goes into the distance. I don't know where the red deer came from nowhere, and they walked slowly from the woods to the river, looked around leisurely and lowered their heads to drink.

There was a sound of the air being pierced in the sky, followed by a rolling roar. The red deer, however, were not alarmed, as if they were already familiar with the sound, and they looked up boldly.

A gray J-16 Plus subsonic fighter jet galloped in the air about hundreds of meters above the river, its figure hidden in the background color of the mountain, the old aerodynamic layout with the fashionable paint look particularly feeling.

Red Deer looked at the J-6 Plath numbered 95533 with a foolish gaze, snorted coldly, and continued to bow his head and drink water.

This is not the first time.

Adapting to the feeling of a low-altitude skimming of 95533, Li Zhan pulled the rod to the height, continued to climb at a large angle, and at the same time gave the troops an order, "95533 call all confrontation teams to start a free air battle according to the plan, over!" ”

"A group received!"

"Two groups received!"

……

Suddenly, eighteen J-7E fighters suddenly appeared over the river along the route of the No. 95533 fighter, and the mighty team rushed wildly, and the continuous roar hit like thunder, and the red deer were finally frightened and fled.

Pei Xiaoshuai, the new pilot who joined the Crazy Demon Brigade, was very excited, such a large-scale training was rare in the whole army, but it gradually became the norm in the 101st Regiment. At the same time, the training mode of the 101st Regiment has gradually become an attempt by the Air Force to explore a new mode of actual combat training.

"Two cave group, you follow me. The other groups unfolded as planned, and that's it! After Li Zhan gave the order, he turned east and ascended to height.

"Two holes received!" Pei Xiaoshuai and Han Hongjun broke away from the formation and followed the aging J-6 Plus to the left to the height.

The other teams disbanded their formations and went to their respective training airspaces as planned.

The sun shone on the earth, and the sky was as clear as water. Li Zhan flew towards the rising sun, turned around to look at Pei Xiaoshuai and Han Hongjun, and ordered, "Two holes, two holes, disband the formation and start training!" Complete! ”

"Two holes received!"

"Two holes to understand!"

The two of them turned and detached, increased their speed and height, and flew in two directions, north and south. They unanimously threw away the auxiliary fuel tanks and quickly entered the combat state.

Li Zhan turned the nose of the plane and came back to look at the sunshine, Pei Xiaoshuai and Han Hongjun actually maintained the altitude difference very tacitly, he laughed angrily, and scolded, "Two holes and two holes, what are you doing!" Play house! What about playing double reeds? Fight up, fight up! Look at your posture in two holes! You're waiting to be a target! I can beat three of you like this! ”

Even Xue Xiangdong, who was commanding at the tower, was taken aback, he couldn't see the situation in the sky, and could only judge the specific situation through the dialogue on the radio. Li Zhan is in charge of the air command, he will not interfere easily, and he has to hold back anything he has to say.

Pei Xiaoshuai was newly handed into the Mad Demon Brigade, originally in the Second Flying Brigade, and the level in this batch of new flights belonged to the middle and upper, and he was the last to complete the J-7E modification in the Mad Demon Brigade. He was naturally thunderous about the name of Li Zhan, the demon of Beiku, and at this time, when he heard the demon scolding himself on the radio, he suddenly became a little nervous.

"Two holes to receive, received!" Pei Xiaoshuai hurriedly agreed, and subconsciously turned on the afterburner and rushed towards Han Hongjun.

Han Hongjun smiled lightly, and also turned on the afterburner, a skillful U-shaped maneuver not only got rid of Pei Xiaoshuai's tail biting, but also turned the nose of the plane to put Pei Xiaoshuai in his front hemisphere, followed by a neat lock aiming.

"Three corners, I'm done attacking! Complete! Han Hongjun happily reported.

When he reported, he happened to pass by Pei Xiaoshuai, and the height difference between the two planes was no more than 100 meters, and it looked like they were about to collide, which scared Pei Xiaoshuai.

Li Zhan has been circling in the sky to observe, and he has seen it clearly, and he hates that iron is not steel, and he says, "What are you doing in a daze!" You've been shot down! ”

"Report, report, captain, I, I didn't pay attention." Pei Xiaoshuai was so nervous that he even forgot the call sign.

Li Zhan said, "The height of the two holes is hovering, pay attention to my demonstration!" ”

"Yes, understood!" Pei Xiaoshuai climbed into Li Zhan's height, and then began to circle.

Li Zhan pressed the lever, turned on the afterburner, and urged the J-6 Plus to run wildly, and the sound of the huge swept wing breaking through the air was very scary. However, no matter how much you fly, it is difficult to exceed the speed of sound, unless it is a high-angle dive, and the strength of the fuselage may not be able to withstand supersonic flight. This is probably the only point he is not satisfied with with the J-6 Plus. It's just that it's good to be able to fly, but I don't dare to ask for too much.

Therefore, although Li Zhan turned on the afterburner dive, when the speed was close to the speed of sound, he turned off the pressure and pulled the lever slightly, and the fighter suddenly descended to a height of several hundred meters, hidden in the background color of the Beiku Mountains.

"Huh? What about the captain? Han Hongjun was frightened, and just now he saw him diving, and suddenly he disappeared.

Pei Xiaoshuai saw it clearly, and secretly thought in his heart, the captain's action is wrong, losing altitude in air combat is basically equivalent to failure, shouldn't he quickly climb to occupy the height?

"Don't get distracted by the two holes! I'm coming! Li Zhan shouted.

Han Hongjun looked left and right, front and back, up and down, with Pei Xiaoshuai on his head, and he didn't see Li Zhan's figure at all. Can't you beat the J-6? Even if that's Plath!

"Two holes, you give way, I want to go to the height!" Han Hongjun decisively decided to go to the height first, height is everything, and only with height can there be the initiative!

"Understood! I'm going to let ...... now The captain is behind you! He's behind you! The second half of Pei Xiaoshuai's sentence suddenly pulled the high note, which was a conditioned reflex of being frightened.

Han Hongjun rolled, he rolled wildly, then dived at a large angle, and then pulled off the U-shaped maneuver. He struggled frantically in a fighter plane, reflecting a strong desire to survive.

However, the voices that made him desperate still appeared.

"Two holes, you were shot down by me." Li Zhan's voice was steady and steady, without the slightest fluctuation.

"Me! I! Han Hongjun was so ashamed that he couldn't speak and was not convinced.

Li Zhan didn't care about him, but asked Pei Xiaoshuai, "Two holes, do you see clearly?" Make the most of the terrain and landforms to attack by surprise! You all have to remember that it's not enough to just be able to maneuver. Many of the historical examples of victories in air battles have made full use of the terrain and the direction of sunlight. Another point is to have a full understanding of the performance of each other's fighters, and use your own strengths to fight the enemy's weaknesses! ”

Pei Xiaoshuai saw it very clearly, the purpose of the captain to go down to the height was to use the background of the Beiku Mountain Range as a cover, and then quietly climbed to the same height as the top of the mountain, always in the position of the rear hemisphere of Han Hongjun, in this case, of course Han Hongjun could not see him!

The performance of the J-6 Plus is obviously not as good as that of the J-7E, and the climb rate or everything lags behind the latter. Theoretically speaking, the J-6 Plus will never be able to defeat the J-7E, just as the J-7 series will have to fight against hundreds of F-16, F-18, and F-15 advanced third-generation aircraft in East Asia for decades, and it can only exist, but it is difficult to destroy the enemy.

"Two holes, two holes, you go on! Keep a safe distance! Li Zhan gave an order, "Let go of your hands and feet!" The height difference is canceled, and the height difference in your head is still there! All let go of the fight! ”

Li Zhan turned and went to guide the next confrontation team.

He spent an hour reading the confrontation situation of all the confrontation teams, and his heart was heavy. Before running out of fuel, he returned first, and at the same time ordered all fighters to return.

Xue Xiangdong took over the command, commanded the seventeen fighters in the sky to land one after another, turned his head and asked Ma Feng, "What about Li Zhan?" ”

"On the tarmac, Captain, look." Ma Feng pointed to the tarmac.

Xue Xiangdong picked up the binoculars and looked over, and Li Zhan stood next to fighter plane 95533 with his flying helmet behind his back, looking at the fighters lining up along the taxiway to the tarmac.

"I'll go and see, you take over the tower." Xue Xiangdong put down the binoculars.

Ma Feng wanted to say that I also wanted to listen to Captain Li's high talk, and when he thought that the tower could not be left unattended, he swallowed his words.

All the fighters returned to their respective tarmacs, and the pilots hurriedly got down, carrying flight helmets and running to Li Zhan's side. I saw it when I was on the plane just now, and the captain's face was very bad.

Nan Lianghong sorted out the team and reported to Li Zhan, "Report to the captain!" The madman's brigade is assembled! Please instruct! ”

"Take a break!" Li Zhan returned the salute, handed the flying helmet to Miao Yu, who walked over, and walked to the front of the team.

He glanced at the pilots, his gaze was very cold, and everyone felt the chill of early spring.

"Stand still!" Li Zhan's serious expression carried a hint of anger in it.

After getting along for more than half a year, everyone understands the character of the captain. When he is on the ground, he is very talkative and kind, especially to the soldiers, as long as it does not involve work, he can be said to be very lenient with the soldiers. But once you go to heaven, there is no place for you to speak and give advice, and you have to carry out his orders completely and without compromise. The polarization in personality is very obvious.

At this time, the captain was clearly standing on the ground, but his anger was clearly visible.

Stand up, this is a precursor to the standard outburst.

For Nan Lianghong, whose position is higher than Li Zhan, it is even more embarrassing. He is the deputy chief of staff at the main battalion level, and Li Zhan is the captain of the flight group at the deputy battalion level who enjoys the treatment of the main battalion level.

Li Zhan will not consider this, as long as you are in the establishment of the Mad Demon Brigade, you must absolutely obey the orders of the regiment, the Mad Demon Brigade does not even have an instructor, it is a veritable Li Zhan who is one acre and three points of land. This is what he strongly demands, what the mad demon team is doing is originally to explore the unknown, if there are a few voices, the work is easy to mess up.

"I've been thinking about a question since I landed, is it too much for you to eat? Cancel the height difference, cancel the height difference, cancel the height difference! You guys got a tie-rod fee of 125 yuan higher than the other brigades to make the air combat training like this? You're going to show me this? ”

Li Zhan's eyes widened, and it could be said that he was very angry.

"The height difference has been canceled, but the height difference in your hearts and minds is still there! What are you afraid of! I ask you what you are afraid of! Afraid of a collision? Afraid of stalling? Free Air Combat! You are fighter pilots in combat units, not show teams! ”

"Han Hongjun!"

"Here!"

"Do you play so many fancy moves? You can't even find out where I am what you're fighting? ”

Han Hongjun: Your old man can beat Yao Dongming, the ace of the 300 divisions, to the master of singing and conquering, can you compare?

Li Zhan said angrily, "Practical! Practical actions are good actions! What is the purpose of you doing so many maneuvers? Maneuvering is not the goal! Your goal is to destroy the enemy! It's to knock the enemy down! ”

"And you, Lin Fei and Lei Yiming!"

"Here!!"

Li Zhan narrowed his eyes, "You are all old birds, don't you know how to fight in the air?" What are you doing here? Respect each other like a guest, you should live! There's no murderous aura at all.,Ah.,It's quite tacit to cooperate.,Will the enemy cooperate with you? You old birds have listened to me, don't think that everything will be fine if you enter the mad demon brigade. I said, whoever dislikes me will tell you to fuck off immediately! Nan Lianghong, you too! ”

Nan Lianghong shook suddenly, and his face turned red.

The more Li Zhan thought about it, the more angry he became, pacing back and forth, and reprimanding, "What's the point of canceling the height difference?" It is to untie the shackles that bind the pilots! I don't need you to dance in shackles! I don't need you to perform flying maneuvers for me! Wars and wars, what is war, are there any enemies like you when they meet? One by one is so polite that they can't do it, this side is up to the height, and the other side is also up to the height, and the cooperation is tacit! ”

He stood still, pointed to his temple, and said excitedly, "I only realize now that the altitude difference in your thinking is even more serious than the altitude difference in air combat training!" You all know that I stayed in the Second Division, and you all know why I was transferred here. Although I don't agree with the way of doing things of some of the leaders of the Second Division, I am very impressed by the Second Division, and the reason why the Second Division is called Nanbatian has its ability! ”

"In the Second Division, everyone seeks innovation and change, although they are not the first to propose to cancel the altitude difference free air combat training, but each of them dares to think that they have the courage to break through the outdated thinking! Instead of gnawing on the old book! Our 73rd Division is a veteran unit with a glorious history, and for decades due to objective reasons, the renewal of equipment has come to a standstill, but our concept cannot stay in the past! You can't even immerse yourself in the glory of the past! ”

Li Zhan took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Comrades, the 73rd Division has ushered in a turnaround battle, whether we can fight this battle well depends on the 101st Regiment and us." We are already standing on the tide of the new era, and we must do everything we can to move forward and move forward! The first thing to do is to cancel the height difference in operational thinking, emancipate tactical thinking, and have the courage to explore the unknown! ”

"I always thought it was inappropriate to call us people pilots, we are combat pilots, not civil aviation pilots, not show team pilots, not test pilots! We're going to war! Take off into the sky, and you have stepped into the ghost gate with one foot! Are you afraid of death? I believe that those who are afraid of death have already returned to the place, and the fact that you can still stand here and listen to my lecture shows that you have enough courage to hold up the sky of the motherland! ”

"There must be endless courage! Even if I drive an old J-6, I must have the courage to use it to fire at the enemy! ”

Xue Xiangdong, who had been standing silently behind Li Zhan, sighed in his heart and said secretly, yes, this kid can do political work when he reaches a certain age to fly.
