How to sense the pulse of the construction of a strong army in the new era?

As far as the officers and men at the grassroots level are concerned, it is not that there are more and more reporters who interview them after the training starts in the new year, but that there are more and more training tasks and higher demands from the higher authorities. In the past, aviation fuel was measured, and life was calculated milliliter by milliliter, but now it is a special train carrying oil frequently to and from the North Depot combat training base and oil storage depot.

Another is ammunition, and there are more and more live-fire training, although most of the time it is aviation fire, but that is also something that I would never have dared to think of before. At first, everyone was very excited, and live ammunition shooting was always something that soldiers yearn for. As time went on, some officers and men felt tired under the high-intensity live-fire training.

It's like a new recruit is eager to shoot, and a veteran is afraid to shoot – because wiping a gun is a very, very annoying thing.

Pilots generally do not participate in the maintenance of aircraft fire launchers and guns, so the officers and men of the aircraft maintenance are miserable. Every time a shot comes back, maintenance must be done, and Han Bo, deputy chief of staff of the brigade in charge of aircraft maintenance, follows up the maintenance work on the tarmac every day.

The atmosphere of combat training in the entire Beiku combat training base is very strong.

Whether it's a second-generation aircraft or a third-generation aircraft, you still have to train when you should train, and it can't be discounted. No matter what method Li Zhan tried to express his desire for the new machine to his superiors in various ways, in fact, it was difficult to influence the decisions of his superiors.

Instead of a few guns and a few sets of military uniforms, it was a dozen fighters.

Are you in a hurry with the 101st Brigade?

You can't rush to come.

Except for the No. 01, which has fallen apart, the 16 original imported flankers of the Eagle Falcon Brigade are still in good health, and the overall training plan of the brigade has not been affected. Theoretically speaking, this batch of fighters can be used until the end of the year, but the training intensity of the Eagle Falcon Brigade is higher than that of other units, and under the influence of the group leader, the pilots of the group prefer to do frequent and vigorous maneuvers, pulling supersonic speed at every turn, and overloading it by six or seven at every turn.

Hence the suspense.

Li Zhan had no choice, especially at this moment, when there was light snow outside and he was looking at the No. 01 SU-27SK in the hangar of the repair shop, which was scattered into parts, the more worried that a similar situation would happen to the other fighters in the brigade - return to the light and then disperse.

All the parts were arranged on the tarpaulin in the shape of the fighter, even the two AL-31F turbofan engines, all the parts were numbered and labeled, and it took a week for the repair shop to complete the work.

Led by the aviation materials director, today the parts of the No. 01 SU-27SK fighter will be evaluated, recycled, and reused. Li Zhan came over to see his old comrade-in-arms on his last journey.

"I'm afraid it's too late, I'm going to hold you......"

The sad song seemed to ring in his ears, and Li Zhan sighed lightly as he watched as the director of aviation materials commented on the parts of the No. 01 SU-27SK and updated the label.

"First brother, the two engines are scrapped, but some of the core components in them can still be used, and it is no problem to disassemble them as backup aviation materials." Niu Yaoyang took off his white labor protection gloves and walked to Li Zhan's side.

Li Zhan frowned and said, "The conclusion of the last investigation report shows that the reason for the air shutdown is that there is a problem with the fuel supply system, and the engine itself is not faulty. ”

"The investigation report is not wrong, but the two engines themselves have undergone two major repairs and have been extended." Niu Yaoyang said, "High power, large side slip, large angle of attack, small speed, the four points that the engine dislikes the most are exactly what you like to do the most, and the second engine can persist until now without problems is actually very durable." ”

Li Zhan sighed and shook his head, "What about the flight controller?" Is the reason for the longitudinal fly-by-wire flight control found out? ”

During the flight Cobra maneuver training, the longitudinal fly-by-wire flight control failed, but during the random inspection by the Aeronautical Surveying and Mapping Air Division, Li Zhan entered at a speed of more than 600 meters and did a super invincible Cobra maneuver without any problems. This phenomenon is very abnormal, and Li Zhan can't rest assured if he doesn't figure it out.

Niu Yaoyang said, "If you want to send it back to the manufacturer for analysis, Shenfei Factory may not have results in a short time, and they have encountered similar problems." ”

"In other words, if we continue to fly eleven series of annihilations, there is still a possibility of similar failures." Li Zhan said worriedly.

Niu Yaoyang comforted him instead, "Brother Yi, where is there a 100% safe and trouble-free thing like flying, even if it is a car, there is a chance of failure." Relatively speaking, I think the quality of the aircraft of the Shenfei factory is still very good. ”

"I believe it." Li Zhan's expression was unprecedentedly serious, "However, the J-11 originated from the Su 27, and the flight control has always been a congenital defect of the Su 27 series of fighters, and the Shen Fei Factory has not been able to completely cure it after so many years of research, which shows that this defect is relatively serious." ”

Niu Yaoyang said, "Brother Yi, can't the Eagle Falcon Brigade change into J-10?" ”

"It's not appropriate." Li Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "I personally prefer to fly J-10, I heard that it is really easy to drive." However, our brigade is stationed in the vast western region, and a light fighter like the Jian-7 will not dare to go out without a drop fuel tank. Although the J-10 has made great progress over the J-7 in terms of range, it is a medium-sized fighter after all, and its combat radius is still not as good as that of a heavy long-range fighter like the J-11. ”

Niu Yaoyang said, "Indeed, it is most suitable for our brigade to be equipped with heavy long-range fighters. First brother, it seems that your wish will not be fulfilled in a short time. ”

The old comrades-in-arms of the Second Division all knew that Li Zhan's wish was actually to fly the J-10, and from the day he got out of the army, he was looking forward to flying the J-10 and flying the villain. As a result, I have been dealing with the J-7 by mistake, interspersed with the J-8, and it has been the original flanker until now.

The days of getting hands on the J-10 seem to be far away.

Li Zhan said against his will: "Soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, and they will fly whatever plane their superiors tell them to fly, all of which are to contribute to the building of a strong people's air force, and they are all the same in whatever position they fly." ”

"Yes." Niu Yaoyang is an honest man.

The director of aviation materials came over, lifted his glasses and said, "Captain Li, there are not many parts of your aircraft that can be used as backup aviation materials, how did you drive it like this?" ”

Li Zhan said, "Just open it normally, there is not much life left, and the second division uses it very ruthlessly." ”

"There must be a life span of 1,800 hours, and you will be scrapped before it is a year." Director Zhang of aviation materials said with a smile, "If you continue to do this, I am not good as the director of aviation materials." ”

"What do you say about Director Zhang, do training, some wearing parts are easy to break, it's certain, wearing parts." Li Zhan defended weakly.

Director Zhang said solemnly, "Xiao Li, I'm not joking with you, if you continue like this, the troops will face a situation where there are no aviation materials available, and the consumption of your Eagle Falcon Brigade is too fast." ”

"Not really, right?" Li Zhan said suspiciously.

Director Zhang said, "What I said is true, you really take it easy." ”

Speaking of which, Li Zhan couldn't take it as a joke, he nodded solemnly, "Director Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely give you an order to let everyone know what to do." ”

"Okay." Director Zhang turned around and walked away satisfied.

Li Zhan had been watching from the scene, watching the officers and soldiers of the Aviation Material Support Center load and pull away the usable parts of the No. 01 SU-27SK by category, and his heart was full of emotion. By the afternoon, the 01 SU-27SK was left with only a bare fuselage, the two wings and tail and the vertical tail were removed, the radar in the nose was also removed, everything that could be dismantled was dismantled, and the rest had to be returned to the furnace.

The No. 01 SU-27SK has finally become history, and what cannot escape is the fate of the flying rack.

Pei Lei came over and reported, "Captain, it's time." ”

Li Zhan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Hop on the Warrior commuter car and rush all the way to the Army Aviation Brigade Station stationed on the outskirts of Beiku City. Li Zhan has an important task on his shoulders. The army aviation regimental station is called Xijiao Airport, and in the western suburbs of Beikucheng, it is a newly built heliport station, which can take off and land fighter jets and small and medium-sized transport planes when necessary.

The Army Aviation Brigade was an Army Aviation Regiment last year, and it was upgraded to a brigade at the same time as the 101st Brigade. It is obvious that the higher-level leading organs are strengthening the air force in the western region, and the air force and army air are advancing at the same time.

There is only one army aviation unit in the entire Beiku region, and the area under such a vast jurisdiction is that even one army aviation division is not enough.

Li Zhan, who was forced to land on Highway 4 and almost hung up in bad weather, began to think seriously about the rescue problem. Once a strong enemy parachutes in a war zone, the rescue detachment can complete a response within five minutes, usually using helicopters as mobile carriers and special operations detachments as the main body of rescue forces, to carry out armed rescue of pilots who parachute in the enemy's deep zone.

If Xue Xiangdong hadn't decisively asked for the support of the Army Aviation Brigade and the Tiger Squad that day, Li Zhan would not have been rescued in such a short period of time. The Tiger Squad is more experienced in doing this kind of thing than the 101st Brigade's own emergency detachment, after all, they have unparalleled experience in field operations.

When I arrived at the airport in the western suburbs, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was still bright, and the sun did not set until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Lu Zhenduo, deputy commander of the Army Aviation Brigade, was waiting for Li Zhan downstairs in the infield office. As soon as he got out of the car, Li Zhan strode over and saluted, "Good chief!" ”

"Xiao Li, you and I don't need to be polite." Lu Zhenduo returned the salute with a smile and led Li Zhan to the office.

Another officer asked Pei Lei to rest and accompany him. Captain Li's driver is not an ordinary non-commissioned officer, and he can't be taken lightly. Although Li Zhan was only the captain of the battalion of the major, he was famous, and the garrison in the entire Beiku area did not know about him.

Li Zhan said to Lu Zhenduo, "Chief, if you hadn't taken a huge risk that day to personally take the plane to pick me up from Highway 4 before the snowstorm came, I am afraid that I would have become a martyr." You saved me. ”

It was Lu Zhenduo who piloted the Mi-171 that day, and in such bad weather, senior pilots had to be dispatched. Lu Zhenduo, who is just 40 years old this year, is a super senior pilot with 5,000 flight hours, who originally flew the J-6 and J-7, and was a fixed-wing and rotary-wing pilot who switched from the Air Force to the Army Airlines.

"We carry guns to fight, and there is no one who saves whom. On that day, my brigade commander gave the order to die, and he will save you at all costs. Yuan Boning of the Tiger Squad is not here, otherwise he would have personally led the team to carry out the rescue operation. ”

Entering the office, Lu Zhenduo motioned for Li Zhan to sit down and start making tea.
