On 15 May, Li Zhan, who had thought he was just making a cameo appearance as a spraying plane, stayed at Nankuchang Station for seven days. Over the course of seven days, he flew thirteen re-spraying missions, totaling thirty-five hours.

SU-27SK has a huge range and speed advantage, as the pest situation becomes serious, the prevention and control command requires focused spraying on several key areas, and it is difficult for local agricultural aircraft to complete the task in a timely and effective manner, so the task is all pressed on Li Zhan's shoulders.

It was not until today that the local control headquarters lifted the pest alarm, and Li Zhan flew back to the Beiku combat training base.

He had already received a notice from the brigade that the unit that had come to the Beiku Combat Training Base for training in the first half of the year and had conducted a confrontation drill with the Eagle Falcon Brigade was the Royal Cat Flying Regiment of the Air Guard Division, and the Eagle Falcon Brigade had half a month of targeted training time.

The atmosphere at the Beiku combat training base suddenly became tense.

Xue Xiangdong paid unprecedented attention to it, and convened the backbone of the Eagle Falcon Brigade to hold a combat meeting to study and discuss how to deal with the Royal Cat Flying Group.

"Comrades, two things to say before the meeting."

In the conference room of the organ building, Xue Xiangdong glanced around and said in a serious voice, "First of all, I received a clear notice when the organs of the military region were holding a meeting that the Eagle Falcon Brigade would all be reequipped with J-11B heavy fighters, and the original plan to partially replace the J-10A was cancelled. The planes arrived in late June, and the higher-ups demanded that combat effectiveness be formed before Army Day, and the time was tight and the tasks were heavy. On the other hand, the Su Liangqi currently equipped by the Eagle Falcon Brigade will be scrapped after the confrontation drill with the Royal Cat Flying Regiment is over. So, the confrontation drill with the Royal Cat Flying Regiment will be the last military operation for your comrades now. ”

Li Zhan hurriedly asked, "Brigade commander, how many new planes are in place?" ”

"Twenty-four." Xue Xiangdong smiled slightly and added, "All of them are brand new factory Type B." ”

"Great!" Li Zhan couldn't help but high-five, he thought that he would replace the twelve old flankers first, replace the current twelve old flankers, and then add eight to twelve to support the establishment of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, but he didn't expect that there would be twenty-four at one time.

In other words, after the formation of combat effectiveness, the combat capability of the Eagle Falcon Brigade will be more than doubled. The flight group of twenty-four fighters is stronger than the average flight group.

Xue Xiangdong pressed his hand and glanced at the backbone cadres of the Eagle Falcon Brigade who were excited, "Don't be happy yet, I'll talk about the second thing." I would like to formally inform you of a decision to merge the organs of the 73rd Fighter Pilot Division and some of its directly subordinate units with the Beiku command post and reorganize them into the Beiku Air Defense Base at the regular army level. ”

Definitely shocking news.

Prior to this, the establishment of the 101st Brigade was still in the 73rd Fighter Division, and the division also had the 102nd Regiment and the 103rd Regiment under its jurisdiction, which was an absolute large fighter division. After the 101st Regiment was upgraded to a brigade, some rumors said that the two brother regiments, the 102nd and 103rd Regiments, would also be upgraded to brigades, thus bringing the number of aviation units in the Beiku area to three brigades, which greatly strengthened the air defense forces in the region.

The western region, which occupies one-third of the country's land area, has only two fighter divisions, and the 73rd fighter division is the backbone of them. From the perspective of the whole army, the troops should be streamlined, and various units have been downsized, but judging from the actual situation in the western region, the upgrading of the 73rd Fighter Aircraft Division to three aviation brigades under the jurisdiction of a regular army-level air defense base is very much in line with the actual situation.

Everyone thinks it should be so, but in the context of great disarmament, everyone just thinks that no one thinks it will become a reality. Not only has it become a reality now, but there has been no rumor of it before that. It can be seen how determined the higher-level leading organs are to reorganize and upgrade the 73rd Fighter Pilot Division.

Li Zhan strongly felt that a new era was coming.

Xue Xiangdong said, "The North Reservoir Air Defense Base will be based on the North Reservoir Combat Training Base as the main base, and the East Reservoir Station and the South Reservoir Station will be built as the secondary bases, which will be unified into the North Reservoir air defense system." That is to say, there will be two sets of personnel on the side of the North Reservoir Station in the future, one is a combat training base, and the other is an air defense base organ at the regular army level. Our brigade is the number one main force in the air defense base in Beiku, and in the future, the three brigades will be scattered and deployed in the three bases. The Beiku base is used as a training airfield for brother troops, and it is also the station of the Eagle Brigade. ”

Bao Guanhua was in a surging mood and took over the conversation and said, "The Beiku base should be expanded, a second runway should be built, more combat facilities and support facilities should be built, and it will be built into a pillar air defense base in the western region." Comrades, the vigorous construction work is about to begin, and your Eagle Falcon Brigade is the only aviation unit stationed at the Beiku base, so your suggestions and opinions are very important. ”

Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the light in each other's eyes. There is no doubt that the transformation of depots into bases is the beginning, the development of a comprehensive air defense base is the process, and the goal of building an air base into an offensive territorial defense air base is the goal.

Looking at the changes in the North Reservoir Station, this process is becoming more and more obvious, and the direction is becoming clearer and clearer.

Li Zhan had already strongly felt the breath of the great era coming to his face, and the desire to strengthen the army from top to bottom and the pulse of the times that pulsated vigorously were clearly felt by him.

He couldn't help but see the air base of a strong enemy, an air base can independently support a campaign, no need for pre-war replenishment, no on-site training, no wartime establishment, orders to pull out the troops can fight and win the battle!

It's long overdue!

But then again, if there is no strong enemy in front of us, we don't have a target to explore, right?

The military strength of the strong enemy on this planet is far ahead, we will not be the second in the millennium, there is only such an object as a strong enemy to learn and surpass, so it is the best way to progress while crossing the river by feeling the strong enemy, learning the lessons of the strong enemy and trying to surpass it.

The North Depot Station was originally the largest air force station in the western region, and its specifications were half a block higher than that of the station where the transport aircraft division was stationed, and at its peak there were more than 100 fighter planes. It is very suitable to build a comprehensive air base integrating combat and defense on the basis of this station.

As far as the Eagle Falcon Brigade stationed at the base is concerned, the suggestions and opinions of the officers and men of the brigade on how to build the base and how to arrange it are very important. They know best how the base should be built to best meet the actual situation. Bao Guanhua, a steady person, couldn't help but get excited, and it had a close relationship with the Eagle Falcon Brigade getting such an honor.

Xue Xiangdong said, "Supporting the local pest control action has been a complete success, the local relevant departments reported that the pest has been very effectively contained, most of the pest crops can be saved, and it is expected to recover hundreds of millions of yuan in losses, and the superiors praised the falcon brigade." Fight the confrontation in June, and summarize the brigade in the middle of the year to ask for credit for your brigade. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhan couldn't help but grin, the Eagle Falcon Brigade was a newly established brigade, and the original First Brigade had made a collective first-class meritorious service a few decades ago, but that was the achievement of the seniors. The whole brigade is holding back their strength to make a collective merit and come back, and if the third-class merit fails, at least the second-class merit will be obtained.

But until now, this wish has not been realized.

I didn't expect to have the opportunity to take credit because of the support for local pest control.

Li Zhan couldn't help but say, "Brigade commander, if you ask for merit, you have to ask for second-class merit, and it's not interesting to have a collective third-class merit." ”

"Hey, you kid is still picky? I'm going to have the final say and give you a collective first-class merit, okay? Xue Xiangdong glared at him and reprimanded.

Li Zhan laughed.

"When it comes to confrontation drills, it's easy to say anything if you fight well, and don't think about anything if you don't fight well." Xue Xiangdong waved his hand vigorously, and the demeanor of a division-level military officer was becoming more and more like that.

He and Bao Guanhua were called the luckiest partners in history by the military and political chiefs of the brother troops, and they were both people who were ready to take off their military uniforms and leave, but as a result, they turned over and did not continue to serve and were promoted to one level, and now they have been promoted by virtue of the promotion of the army, and it took more than two years to complete the road that most people would take seven or eight years to complete and may not have the opportunity to walk.

The officers and soldiers in the brigade even joked that the trolley captain promoted the brigade commander and political commissar.

Of course, jokes are jokes, and each soldier's whereabouts and positions are all arranged as a whole, and they all have their own value and significance. Even a drop of jet fuel has its uses.

"Chief of Staff, you can introduce the situation of the Royal Cat Flying Regiment." Xue Xiangdong pointed to Yang Jinshan, who had only returned from training yesterday, and said.

From the deputy regiment to the chief of staff of the brigade at the regimental level, Yang Jinshan also saw hope, and the spirit of the whole person was completely different. The short-term training he participated in was one of the training that the deputy regiment had to participate in when he was promoted to the main regiment, so although his current rank and level had not been moved, his promotion was already a sure thing.

Yang Jinshan cleared his throat and said, "The Royal Cat Flying Regiment is my old unit, and I worked in this regiment for four years when I left the army, and I still have a good understanding of the situation in the regiment. ”

Li Zhan, Nie Jianfeng, Nan Lianghong, Lin Fei, Han Hongjun, Li Zixin, Shi Leilei, Cong Dawei, Miao Yu, Niu Yaoyang, etc., these are the main backbones of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, and they all looked serious and pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Everyone knows the basic situation of the Royal Cat Flying Regiment, and the elite troops defending the capital have a very brilliant record in history. The character of this unit is very distinct, they boast of being the pride of the sky, and the spirit and combat style of the officers and men have a strong self-confidence of being the best in the world. They didn't even pay attention to the second and three hundred divisions. Although this regiment is not the first unit to be equipped with third-generation aircraft, they have always been the second unit to be equipped with third-generation aircraft. At present, the fighters in service are the Jian-10B and Jian-11B, and their strength should not be underestimated. Yang Jinshan said, looking at Li Zhan.

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Let me talk about my personal opinion. The Royal Cat Flying Regiment has been stationed in the Gyeonggi region for a long time, and the influence there is very great, and the main task is to defend the capital, so their usual training is very strict. However, the long-term stationing in Gyeonggi has made them develop a character of empty eyes, and they think that everyone is a dumpling, and they even look down on local tyrants like the second division and the third hundred division, not to mention our western tattered king division. ”

Everyone laughed, and some people couldn't help but sit up straight, squinting their eyes and looking ready to go. Those who looked down on the tattered king division in the west had been pressed to the ground and rubbed, and everyone didn't think that the Royal Cat Flying Regiment could be more powerful than the trump cards of the second division and the three hundred divisions.

Li Zhan picked up the pen and said with a smile before writing, "In general, the Royal Cat Flying Regiment is very tall, a child of a rich family, well equipped, well fed, and well treated, but its combat effectiveness is average. This is my personal opinion. ”

The subtext couldn't be more obvious: it's very forceful, but it's useless.

Yang Jinshan was a little embarrassed, after all, it was his old unit, he waved his hand lightly and said with a smile, "They have been conducting defensive training for a long time, mainly air interception. I specially engaged in flank reconnaissance and found that their ground-striking capability was very weak, and it was basically the old-fashioned training of ground-shooting targets. Since we launched low-altitude penetration ground strike training, many units have popularized our training methods, but the focus of the Royal Cat Flying Regiment is still on air interception, and their air combat capability is still very impressive. ”

"I also learned something from my classmates and comrades-in-arms at the military academy, the Royal Cat Flying Regiment still has some level, and the ability of the troops that can be stationed in the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Area is there, I mean we must pay attention to it, and we can't think that the world is invincible just because we defeated the Second Division and the Three Hundred Divisions, this kind of thinking is unacceptable." Bao Guanhua said.

Even the political commissar paid attention to it, which shows that the brigade attaches great importance to this confrontation.

On the one hand, because the Eagle Falcon Brigade has already engaged in two confrontations, the combat characteristics and style have also been exposed, just as the Big Red Eagle Division focuses on the study of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, the whole army is studying the Eagle Falcon Brigade. It is not just because the Falcon Brigade defeated the Second Division and the 300th Division that it was a blockbuster, but also because the Falcon Brigade has been determined by the Air Division to be a simulated blue army unit of the whole army, in other words, as long as it belongs to the Air Force Aviation Unit, it must have a fight with the Falcon Brigade.

The lessons of the 2nd and 300th Divisions are still there, who dares to take them lightly?

In fact, the 101st Brigade has never despised its opponents, and they have to fight a series of turnaround battles to prove that they have regained their former glory. The existence of those J-7Es in the second and third teams is the biggest incentive for them - don't forget that you are still a third of the third generation.

Li Zhan asked, "Brigade commander, has the content of the confrontation been decided?" ”

"In the offensive and defensive war, we are on the defensive side." Xue Xiangdong said.

"It's an offensive and defensive battle again." Li Zhan frowned slightly, "Are there any other combat elements?" ”

"No, pure aviation units." Xue Xiangdong said, "The ground air defense forces cannot participate, everything can only rely on themselves, the Royal Cat Flying Regiment plays the Red Army, and they are the same." ”

Nie Jianfeng said, "This is similar to the confrontation with the 300th Division last year, and the Royal Cat Flying Regiment may also adopt the tactics of long-range penetration attack." ”

The Eagle Falcon Brigade is familiar with this tactic.

Li Zhan glanced at Beiku Xuefeng, which was melting in the distance outside the window, suddenly retracted his gaze, and asked, "Does the Beiku Command Post still serve as the director's department?" ”

The Beiku command post is going to be merged into the Beiku air defense base, but this is not a matter of one or two days, and the functions of the Beiku command post are still there before the construction is fully integrated.

"Of course, before the operation of the Beiku air defense base, all the confrontation drills were conducted by the Beiku command post." Xue Xiangdong said.

Li Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then there is nothing to worry about, we will win." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

The Beiku command post serves as the director, it must be towards the Eagle Falcon Brigade, what about the pride of the sky.
