Chapter 108: The Old Guys' Elephant Walk

On the fourth day of the new year, yesterday took advantage of the New Year's Day holiday, and the field staff spent a whole day to clear the snow on the runway to ensure today's flight.

At 7:55 a.m., Li Zhan came to the tower on time, and Xue Xiangdong and Yang Jinshan were in place on their hind feet and stood on the left and right sides of Li Zhan.

At eight o'clock, Xue Xiangdong ordered, "Let's start." ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhan saluted, picked up the microphone and raised it to his mouth, and gave a loud order: "Attention reference personnel!" I am the chief examiner of this assessment and the commander of this assessment, Li Zhan! I command! All the reference personnel took off in a queue as planned, and it's over! ”

On the side of the parking stand of the parallel highway, there is a J-7 bar two neatly parked, with a number of 36 planes, which is spectacular as far as the eye can see. The ground crew waved the small red flag vigorously, and the J-7 bar two at the beginning began to slide out of the parking position, and the fighters behind followed, slowly converging into a column.

Elephant walk!

From the tower, dozens of warplanes formed a neat column, extending from one end of the parallel highway to this end, like a long dragon, like an elephant striding forward. The roar of the engine resounded in the sky of the North Kuba Station, and the sky was as blue as it had been washed, providing the best environment for today's important flights.

Li Zhan's blood boiled, and Xue Xiangdong burst into tears.

Even if it was dozens of early models of J-7, such a grand occasion was rare.

The 101st Regiment has not seen such a scene for decades, and since the 101st Regiment was stationed in this field 40 years ago, the Beikuchang Station has never reproduced the busy flight operations of the "international airport" in those years.

"Is the 101st Regiment very bad, no, not bad at all, thirty years ago, my 101st Regiment was the first-class main flying regiment with great prestige, and our regiment was the first batch of troops equipped with Jian-7 back then, and it was a key construction force! Our 101st Regiment has 54 fighters, which is a large formation flight regiment, and it has been fully equipped for so many years, and it can withstand half a fighter division. ”

Xue Xiangdong sighed with emotion, and his words were full of pathos.

"When did Nai cross the border and move people, the 101st regiment is still the 101st regiment, but the world has changed. The equipment of the whole regiment is not as good as a Jian-10 of others. We've fallen behind a lot. ”

"Li Zhan, you have confidence, I am even more confident, in the future, our regiment will complete the modification of the third-generation aircraft, that is, one of the few large-scale flight regiments in the whole army, if you have the ability to be the commander of the regiment, the air power you command will be stronger than the air forces of many countries!" Go for it! ”

Li Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, Xue Cannon is Xue Cannon, he never forgot to enlarge the cannon and make promises, and the undetermined guarantee made him flicker. Li Zhan even thought that the reason why Yang Jinshan, a highly educated cadre with a great future, stayed in this place where birds don't for ten years was definitely fooled by Xue Dacang.

"Regiment leader, it's not a skill to rely on advanced equipment to convince people, and see how I use the second-generation old guys to beat the third-generation proud sons all over the ground to find teeth." Li Zhan said with his head held high.

Yang Jinshan suddenly said, "Then you are Li Cannon." ”

"Hahahaha......"

Xue Xiangdong laughed out loud regardless of his image, not realizing that Yang Jinshan also mocked him. The cadres in other positions in the tower also laughed, which made Li Zhan blush. Today's meteorologist is Zhang Yuan, who doesn't like Xue Xiangdong's style of leadership very much, but he also admires it from the bottom of his heart. It is the informal and bold style that has allowed Xue Xiangdong to establish an incomparable prestige.

There is even a saying in private, being a man should learn Xue Xiangdong, a real man, not hypocritical.

"Okay, get down to business, Li Zhan, I'll give you all the command today, and I'll have one request." Xue Xiangdong put his hands behind his back and said solemnly, "Thirty-six planes go up, and thirty-six planes land safely." ”

Li Zhan saluted, "Yes!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”

When it was time to test his ability to command operations in a large group of aircraft, Xue Xiangdong and Yang Jinshan, one of whom was his deputy commander and the other was his operational staff officer, could be described as a super high standard.

When the captain wants to serve the public, Li Zhan must have the corresponding command ability, and he must pass this level. He is evaluating others, and Xue Xiangdong is not evaluating him.

All 36 J-7 bars and 2 arrived at the take-off position, forming a double column, with the long plane column one fuselage ahead of the wingman column, occupying almost one-third of the 3,000-meter runway. This is a serious way of taking off in a large group of planes, with two planes taking off in formation, and the interval between the front and rear is compressed in a very short time and distance. It is also an important subject for testing the collective combat capability of an aviation unit.

All warplanes reported that everything was normal.

Everyone's eyes converged on Li Zhan.

Li Zhan was lucky, raised the microphone, and gave his first combat order after arriving at the 101st Regiment: "Order!" The reference fighter took off as planned, and it's over! ”

"Received by the cave! Take off as planned! ”

The fighter with the assessment number Dong Qi was at the front, the pilot was Nan Lianghong, the deputy chief of staff of the regiment headquarters, the major of the Air Force, and the Gansu man.

Facts show that there are too many people who are unwilling to waste their limited military careers, including the leaders of regimental organs.

Xue Xiangdong's emotions are mixed. Li Zhan's arrival is like a catfish thrown into a goldfish bowl, the peaceful life of the 101 regiment, which has been a comfortable goldfish bowl for many years, has been broken, if you don't work hard to swim forward, Li Zhan, a catfish that will eventually be hungry, will devour you mercilessly.

Thus, the cosy goldfish bowl turned into a choppy sea of battle.

On the other hand, isn't it the side that proves that there is a problem with Xue Xiangdong's management style? The army is going to fight, how can it be turned into a nursing home. Xue Xiangdong had mixed emotions because of this, of course, in his opinion, the officers and men of the 101st Regiment still maintained high morale, not because of the regiment's achievements, but because the party had educated them well. But everyone understands in their hearts that if there is no Xue Xiangdong, everyone will definitely sink, and they will really retire. 33 starters

Nan Lianghong released the brakes, and the WP-7B turbojet engine of the J-7 bar 2 fighter, which has been in service for 20 years, burst out with powerful thrust, pushing the fighter with a single delta wing aerodynamic layout to move forward, like a soldier charging at the enemy formation, and the long airspeed tube under the nose is the spear in the soldier's hand, breaking through the air and stabbing at the enemy.

Running for about 700 meters, Nan Lianghong and the wingman pulled up at the same time, and at this time, the second group of two-plane formations was already running, only 500 meters away from Nan Lianghong's formation. When the Nanlianghong two-plane formation turned left and climbed, the second group of two-plane formations had already pulled up and climbed.

With such a continuous take-off, the scene is spectacular. 33 update fastest Mobile:://

Li Zhan was secretly amazed in his heart, the equipment was very broken and backward, but the quality of the pilots was absolutely first-class, and the connection between the front and rear of the continuous two-plane formation of this large group alone has fully proved that the 101st Regiment has no shortage of thrashing experience in ordinary times.

Xue Xiangdong proudly raised his chin, the strength of the troops, even compared with the most advanced brother troops, is not much better, as the regiment commander he is too qualified to be proud.

On the other hand, he is also proud to be able to apply for today's large-scale assessment. Thirty-six fighters will be dispatched in a row, and thirty-six fighters will be operating in the airspace at the same time, and such a large-scale effort is absolutely extremely rare.

The second division usually looks like a red-faced uncle who wears a vest and slippers and goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and the vendors earn for one or two yuan. When it's really time to show its strength, aviation fuel is burned on the train, burning more than a dozen cans at a time, and it is a train fuel tank, not a can!

The Second Division of Renjia has at least two large-scale transfer training sessions every year.

How many years has the 73rd Division not conducted large-scale transfer training? How long has it been since there has been a group of aircraft above the brigade level in the sky above the North Kuchang Station where the 101st Regiment is stationed?

To be able to apply for this assessment, the procedures for the units and departments involved are much more troublesome than imagined!

Don't forget that the North Reservoir Station is located on the frontier. You went up to more than 30 fighters at once, and a few small countries on the side are still trembling? J-7 bar two is not welcomed, that is because there are better fighters, there are constantly updated research and development success, but in the eyes of the air forces of those small countries, J-7 bar two is definitely a big killer!

Therefore, it is not easy for the top higher-level organs, the large headquarters, the air division, the air division, and the four-level leading organs to approve this large-scale assessment all the way.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this large-scale assessment, the division headquarters allocated an additional batch of aviation materials and aviation fuel to the 101st Regiment, otherwise the 101st Regiment will eat this year - you have all of a sudden exhausted aviation materials and aviation fuel for the year, what will you do with the training plan in the future?

This is January, the training mobilization has just been carried out, and the one-year training plan has begun.

Combat-ready aviation materials and aviation fuel must not be moved.

The desert on the south side of the North Kuchang Station became a sea of joy, and more than 30 warplanes roared and launched a group air combat confrontation according to the plan. The time has come to test the commander's command and coordination, and just keeping these fighters from colliding in the air is enough to give any commander a headache.

Fortunately, the training airspace is large enough, and such a large desert and the Gobi, including the mountains and hills in the north, are all training airspace for the troops. Moreover, judging from the civil aviation route map, the most sparse area of the route is the vast western and northern region, and the further the east, the denser the route.

The most convincing point in Li Zhan's professional blue army plan is that the 101st Regiment has a natural training ground that other units do not have. Compared with many brother troops who have been tied by urbanization, the 101st Regiment is like a rural person, who has no money to buy commercial housing, but the village has built a large bungalow, the front yard can park several large trucks, and the backyard is simply a vegetable garden of several hundred square meters.

Group ground targeting, group free air combat, two major assessment subjects. Among them, the ground target is fired with live ammunition, and machine guns are used, so every reference fighter is loaded with live ammunition, and today a lot of 30-millimeter caliber aerial artillery shells alone will be consumed.

The 101st Regiment is like a poor boy celebrating the New Year today.

Li Zhan's spirit was highly concentrated, and every step was handled impeccably, which made people suspect that he had rich experience in commanding large aircraft groups on the ground. Today, with the transformation of modern combat styles, large aircraft group air battles have rarely appeared. In the foreseeable future, it will probably be difficult to see the scene of hundreds of fighters fighting in the chaos of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, or even the scene of a dozen fighters fighting freely in the air.

In fact, Li Zhan had a faint premonition in his heart that what he was commanding at this moment was probably the last time that the Chinese Air Force's second-generation aircraft group had a large group of aircraft.

He had no leisure time to be sentimental, because the group began to return, and by this time, he had been standing and directing for more than an hour with a high degree of mental concentration. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)

What is the difficulty of the large aircraft group in the air? The process of operations is difficult for ground command to control, and it mainly depends on the subjective initiative of the pilots, and ground command can only play an auxiliary role most of the time. Then, take-off and landing are the most important links, for ground command.

One after another, the fighters returned one after another, and each one landed safely, Li Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, and Xue Xiangdong's expression eased a little. At this time, Li Zhan realized what kind of mood the personnel on duty at the tower of the Second Division were when he was in the sky, and he had to understand and understand them.

"Hey, who the is that, why did you release the parachute in three turns?"
