Chapter 156 Low-altitude penetration live firing
The small oil depot at the North Depot Station is not Zheng Kaiyun's own, but the war-ready aviation fuel that has been formed in the past period of time and does not exist in the establishment.
For example, the aviation fuel in the rear could not be transported in time, and the oil in the combat oil depot ran out, but the fighters could not lie on their stomachs, and the small oil depot could come in handy at this time.
Basically, every tactical unit of the army unit will have a combat readiness fund, which plays a similar role, and when the logistics support cannot keep up, the troops can use this money to procure on the spot to solve the logistics support problem.
All in all, it's all about a better job, not someone trying to get money.
Xue Xiangdong reminded Zheng Kaiyun to clean up the small oil depot as soon as possible, which is a specific change in the general environment. It means that the above has begun to try to fine-tune the logistics support system, first gain some experience, and then carry out it on a large scale.
On 1 March, the day of the opening of the local school, the Beikuchang Station began a week-long live-fire training in which air targets and ground targets were launched, while Li Zhan had to carry out ground-shooting training on his own, combined with low-altitude penetration, and he had to fly out of a set of operational standards before he could use this as a basis to popularize the training in the mad demon brigade.
In the early spring, it was warm and cold, the sky was gray, and the visibility was not very good, but it was much better than the previous combat training with the lowest weather.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Li Zhan took his flight helmet and came to the tarmac, where his maintenance team leader Miao Yu was organizing the officers and men of the maintenance team to mount multiple rocket launchers on his beloved No. 037 J-7E fighter.
"Captain." Miao Yu saluted and said hello.
Li Zhan pointed to the pylons under the wings and said, "Do a good job, don't be unable to fight." ”
"Don't worry, Captain, it's absolutely fine." Miao Yu puffed up his chest and promised.
Li Zhan nodded slightly, looked at 037, and said with emotion, "This plane is my brother and sister, we have experienced a lot of things together, and he has carried it over." You find no, the vertical tail engine and aileron, almost all of the back part have been replaced. ”
"See, the engine is very new, and the model is not the kind used by the J-7B, and you can hear it by listening to the sound, which is much better than that of the J-7B." Miao Yu said.
The legend of the No. 037 fighter has long spread throughout the regiment, and no one knows that this fighter has experienced so many dangers in just a few months, what cockpit power failure, landing gear jamming, engine compartment fire, etc., all of which are world-class dangers.
I just carried it.
On the contrary, the No. 101 J-8FR, which has been in service for half a year, fell apart and was directly removed from the establishment. Sometimes this kind of thing is really not clear, but in short, the one who can survive to the end is a good opportunity.
Li Zhan stood there and watched the maintenance team busy.
Hanging bombs is the most serious work, every step must be tightly fitted, must be strictly in accordance with the process, and no action can be wrong. The two pylons on the left and right wings are hung with multiple rocket launchers, using 7-tube 90 mm caliber rockets, and the four launchers are loaded with a total of 28 rockets. If you put two more Thunderbolt combat missiles, you can be regarded as armed to the teeth. This rocket is mainly used for ground-to-sea attacks, and there is also a 57 mm caliber one, which is mainly air-to-air, and it is not a strange thing to hit planes with rockets. The heavy pylons under the belly of the aircraft have an auxiliary fuel tank attached to it, which is the norm for the short-legged seven, even if the E-type has been improved to extend the range.
Miao Yu held the fuse starter in his hand and reported to Li Zhan, "Report to the captain, the ammunition is loaded, please check!" ”
Li Zhan took the checklist handed over by Miao Yu and carefully checked the status of the fighter, especially the rocket launcher under the wing pylon. After confirming that everything was correct, he signed, and Miao Yu randomly and carefully turned on the fuses of the rockets one by one.
Hang the launcher first, then stuff the rockets into it, and then activate the fuses of the rockets one by one, so that all the mounting work is completed. If the fuse is not activated, the rocket will be an iron bump when it hits out, and like the gun, there is a cutout, and only when the switch is turned on, the fuse will work normally.
Li Zhan once again checked the situation of the rockets one by one, confirmed that they were correct, and boarded the plane.
When he asked to slide out, the four J-7B planes of the Second Brigade took off one after another to begin their live-fire training. The twenty-four J-7Es handed over from the Second Division were allotted eighteen to the Mad Demon Brigade, and the other six were handed over to the Third Brigade, replacing their six J-6 Plaths. On the contrary, the second brigade still needs to continue to use the J-7B type.
Xue Xiangdong commanded at the tower, and all other regiment leaders had to participate in live-fire training. On the side of the Mad Demon Brigade, except for Li Zhan, who had to combine low-altitude penetration to engage in live shooting, the others all carried out ordinary live-fire training like the Second Brigade.
The entire live-fire training program was completed within a week, and it was also the largest and most important military operation of the 101st Regiment since the start of training this year.
"Three turns in the hole, check it and take off." Xue Xiangdong gave Li Zhan an order.
Li Zhan had already slid to the take-off position, checked the various systems of the fighter again, and replied, "The three corners of the hole have been checked, and I request to take off." ”
"The hole can take off." Xue Xiangdong ordered.
Li Zhan pushed the throttle stick to the end, stepped on the brakes, the engine speed rose rapidly, and when the fuselage trembled violently, he decisively released the brakes, the speed of the fighter became faster and faster, and the roaring sound resounded throughout the outfield. Lift the front wheels, pull up, and the rear landing gear off the ground, Li Zhan immediately retracted the landing gear, and the fighter roared up a small slope.
Driving back to the familiar J-7E feels completely different, Li Zhan can clearly understand the difference between the E type and the B type, first of all, the difference in power is very large, the E type is more powerful, giving people more confidence, and the second is that the E type uses a double delta wing aerodynamic layout, although it is only one more broken line than the delta wing aerodynamic layout, but at the same speed it can get more lift, and the running distance is shortened a lot. Finally, the smoothness of the handling is more obvious.
In fact, the J-7G equipped with the 300th Division is better to drive, but it is a pity that even if it is second-hand, it will not be the turn of the 73rd Division, but it will be handed over to a certain division in Jikong.
The shooting range was set up in the depths of the desert on the southeast side of the Beiku Mountains, and the station had already sent a platoon of troops to set up the shooting range and put it on guard at the designated position. In fact, that area is no man's land, which has always been an area where the troops fired live ammunition, and there is not even a single animal.
Li Zhan wanted to penetrate the defense to the southwest along the Beiku Mountains, and then turn southeast within the detection range of the No. 27 radar station and go straight to the shooting range. The criterion he set was to compress the exposure time on the basis of the previous one, and not give the No. 27 radar station a chance to lock on.
The No. 27 radar station was in full swing early in the morning, and technical staff officer Qu Hongbo and several people ran under tremendous pressure for more than a month, running ground-to-air missile units, running various sub-stations, and running the actual terrain, trying by all means to improve the detection rate and shorten the time for locking on to the target.
If they want to be ashamed, they must find Li Zhan and then complete the lock-on attack procedure, and it must be completed before Li Zhan shoots, otherwise it doesn't make much sense.
This was very difficult for the No. 27 radar station, and they had already learned Li Zhan's ability to penetrate the defense at low altitude. The last time I drove the J-7B, now I drive the J-7E with better low-altitude and low-speed performance and better instantaneous hovering ability, which undoubtedly adds difficulty to the No. 27 radar station.
Because it means that Li Zhan can fly at a lower altitude.
Li Zhan did not go to a high height, but directly entered the Beiku Mountain Range at a low altitude. From the moment he entered the mountain, the radar on Beiku's side could not see him, and he could only be judged by Li Zhan through the landmarks according to the time node.
The last time Li Zhan could be seen at the No. 27 radar station, now he can't see anything at all, and he doesn't even know when Li Zhan took off. This is another detail close to actual combat, and Li Zhanqian told Xue Xiangdong that he absolutely not disclose the information about the take-off to the No. 27 radar station.
There was no even a basic reference, Qu Hongbo and the others could only stare and look for it, all the radars were turned on, and they couldn't find any suspicious targets.
Over the past period, Radar Station 27 has been under tremendous pressure. The well-known western backbone early warning radar station is actually unable to detect the target, so is it necessary for this backbone early warning radar station to exist, and is it still the backbone station of the national defense air defense early warning network?
The higher-level leadership organ issued a dead order that the problem of detecting blank areas must be solved. It is meaningless, Li Zhan's last time he was so abrupt, and the Beiku Mountains became a blank area for the detection of the No. 27 radar station. For a long time in the past, the existence of this blank area has triggered the thinking of the higher-level leadership organs, and the leaders will draw inferences from each other to think about whether there is such a deadly detection blank area in other radar stations.
The 101st Regiment made such a low-altitude breakthrough like a little boy who bravely said that the emperor was not wearing clothes, bringing out a fact that was difficult for everyone to accept. The impact on the radar units of the whole army will certainly last for a long time and will be profound.
The air defense unit and the ground air defense unit are all important components of the territorial air defense system, and they both belong to the air force combat system. From this point of view, the "228" project will not only affect the way the aviation units are organized and trained.
Specific to the No. 27 radar station, didn't Qu Hongbo and others come up with a means to deal with low-altitude penetration?
The radar man who once used the old meter-wave radar to detect the F-117, which is known as the stealth killer, was not given in vain, and the No. 27 radar station, which has the world's advanced radar equipment, has come up with several sets of countermeasures.
Qu Hongbo immediately asked Wang Dongyang, the deputy station commander, to apply for a mobile radar detachment. After several orders, several mobile radar vehicles that had been on standby for a long time in the Beiku Mountains quickly entered the predetermined location, and turned on the radar almost at the same time, covering places that could not be detected by fixed radar stations.
The use of mobile radar to compensate for blindness is not a new method.
Just waiting for Li Zhan to come in.
