Chapter 404 Strategic long-range reconnaissance aircraft
Li Zhan, who had a little dark circles under his eyes, received a call from Zhang Wei after he got up, who said that the head of the regiment wanted to invite him to Xixian Station for a meeting, saying that there was something to discuss.
Li Zhan immediately understood that it was definitely Political Commissar Bao who called the Second Division, and he was still worried that he would not be able to control his emotions and participate in He Junlong's affairs.
The old political commissar had good intentions, and Li Zhan was even sure that if he didn't listen to the instructions, Bao Guanhua might run over and reprimand him in person. Especially now that I recall Bao Guanhua's actions in the past period of time, I find that Bao Guanhua's determination to change jobs has long been made, and maybe he has the idea of retiring soon after Xue Xiangdong's sacrifice. Before leaving the army, do the best you can and leave with the least regrets, this is the meaning behind some of Bao Guanhua's actions in the past period of time.
Li Zhan temporarily said goodbye to Ying Wanjun, who made him a little addicted, and followed Zhang Wei to Xixian Station, the Air Force Station that meant a lot to him.
"The division commander is not at home." Yu Chenglin said inexplicably.
Li Zhan said, "Oh, I want to visit him." ”
"Forget it."
Zhang Wei couldn't help but laugh.
The commuter vehicle carried the trio along the parallel highway to the large aircraft apron in the distance.
After getting out of the car, Yu Chenglin pointed to the H-6 in front of him and said with a smile, "I know that you are bored at home, so I specially invite you to come and see a good plane." ”
Li Zhan looked at the H-6 in front of him, and he really saw something interesting. Isn't this the H-6 I saw on the construction site that day, and the tactical number is this tactical number: 2238325.
At this time, a closer look found that this was not a long-range maritime reconnaissance plane modified from the H-6 platform. The first is the Tu-154, and the second is to install maritime reconnaissance equipment on the basis of the H-6D. H-6D is a very old model, known as H-6D by the outside world, the shape is very different from the current K-type, especially the nose and tail, the K-type is redesigned, and the aerodynamic shape is more smooth and modern.
The plane in front of me is not the H-6D or H-6H in the style of historicism, but the H-6K in the style of postmodernism, but it is different from the ordinary K-type, this plane does not have any pylons, and the entire fuselage has many large and small slightly bulging bags, the most obvious is the oval cover under the belly and the fuselage is integrated, which is obviously the shield of the opposite reconnaissance equipment. The downward-looking reconnaissance equipment of the H-6J is installed under the nose of the aircraft, and a large bulging bag, like a tumor, has very obvious characteristics. If you don't look closely at the aircraft in front of you, it will be difficult to spot the detection equipment that is integrated with the fuselage.
This is a professional long-range reconnaissance aircraft that had a general design scheme before its production, and perhaps not only for maritime reconnaissance. The original H-6D reconnaissance plane was modified by using the existing aircraft, and the K-type in front of me was obviously designed when it was produced, and it appeared more harmonious. The most important change is that the avionics system can be adapted from the outset to the characteristics of the reconnaissance aircraft. The two are clearly not reconnaissance aircraft of the same grade.
"Good plane." Li Zhan praised it from the bottom of his heart.
Yu Chenglin pointed to the boarding ladder that had been erected and said, "Go up and have a look." ”
"No problem?" Li Zhan suddenly discovered that this plane was probably not just a reconnaissance plane, but perhaps it had a strong electronic warfare capability, electronic jamming, or something.
Yu Chenglin smiled and said, "What is the problem with inviting you to do this." ”
Li Zhan followed Yu Chenglin along the boarding ladder with questions and climbed into the No. 2238325 H-6K (electric reconnaissance?). In the cockpit, Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had strayed into the cabin of a strong enemy's electronic reconnaissance plane.
From the cockpit to the middle of the fuselage, the original bomb magazine mechanism, bomb throwing mechanism, etc., are all gone, replaced by a whole row of neat displays and all kinds of unnamed instruments and equipment, and on the other side is a straight aisle, like a train sleeper-like layout.
Looking at the cockpit again, the modern flight cockpit is not much behind the J-11B and J-10B, and most of the color display screens are visible as far as the eye can see, which is not the same as the cockpit of the H-6 in Li Zhan's impression that is messier than the early models of the J-7.
Li Zhan was amazed while visiting, and said, "Good thing, with this plane in hand, the combat effectiveness of the Second Division has soared." ”
"Didn't you think too much?" Yu Chenglin said with a smile, "The planes of the independent reconnaissance regiment borrowed the meaning of our station to conduct long-distance training. ”
Li Zhan was not surprised: Reconnaisance planes of this magnitude are usually under the direct command of the first level or above of the military region, and specific tactical operations cannot be arranged by the divisions and brigades of the aviation force. A tactical reconnaissance aircraft like the J-8FR is still under the direct command of the Air Force of the Military Region, not to mention this kind of long-range reconnaissance aircraft that obviously focuses on strategic reconnaissance, and it also has electronic warfare capabilities, which is even more unusual.
"Well, are you interested in following the open sea?" Yu Chenglin asked with a smile.
Li Zhan pointed to his nose in surprise, "Me? Go to sea with them? ”
"I, Zhang Wei, are also here." Yu Chenglin explained with a smile, "We coordinated with the people of the independent reconnaissance group, followed them out to the sea to see the scene, and we were also familiar with the actual use of this aircraft, and we would have confidence in cooperating in the future." ”
Li Zhan blinked, "Then I can also follow?" I am still in the 101st Brigade. ”
"You kid, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I just ask you to go out and go around." Yu Chenglin smiled and said, "Let me tell you the truth, this is the meaning of the independent reconnaissance group." Chatting with Head Liu, he knew that you were on vacation in Xixian County, so he proposed to ask you to go out together and give them some advice. Everyone knows that the Nighthawk unit was brought out by you, and you are more experienced in the use of reconnaissance units. ”
Li Zhan understood, and he also came for his prestige. When he used the J-8FR tactical reconnaissance aircraft to independently complete tasks including meteorological reconnaissance, ground reconnaissance, and bombing flood outlets, if the flood control scene was replaced by a battlefield, many people would be surprised to find that the J-8FR tactical reconnaissance aircraft showed far more combat capabilities than they imagined. The prerequisite for this is that there is a mature way to use it.
Undoubtedly, Li Zhan is the most knowledgeable about the situation.
Needless to say, Yu Chenglin was able to invite him over and inform him of the matter, which means that the head of the independent reconnaissance group, Liu, has already run down the formalities, in other words, Li Zhan has to go if he doesn't want to go. Of course, how could he not go?
"Where are you going?" Li Zhan asked.
Yu Chenglin said, "Xitai." ”
His eyebrows jumped a few times, and Li Zhan asked, "The trolley fee is definitely gone, what about the sea supplement?" ”
Zhang Wei interjected with a smile, "Lao Li, the navy has a sea supplement, and our air force does not have that subsidy program." But there is a voyage subsidy, you know this. ”
Feeling a little disappointed, I didn't regret thinking that I could go to Xitai, and nodded slightly with a smile and said, "Okay, when will you leave?" What do I need to prepare? ”
"At two o'clock in the morning tomorrow, the sunrise will be seen in the designated airspace, and my tea leaves are ready, and I can have a sip of tea in the sky over the West Pacific." Yu Chenglin said meaningfully.
Li Zhan smiled hesitantly, and nodded slowly and meaningfully.
