Chapter 116: Men Should Turn on Afterburner

In addition to agreeing, Zheng Kaiyun had no other choice, besides, in all fairness, he took advantage. If this work is done well, there is no doubt that the North Depot Station can stand out soon after the start of the training, and it will add an important stroke to the year-end selection of advanced military work stations.

That's not what 30 tons of jet fuel can be exchanged for.

After nearly four months, Li Zhan was once again neatly dressed. Winter flight leather jacket, cotton pants, flight boots, flight helmet, labor protection gloves, after wearing this, he will think that this will be the most handsome fighter.

This is half past five in the morning in the flight briefing room.

The other two are Han Hongjun and Li Zixin, and they form a three-plane formation with Li Zhan, and they are the only formations approved for combat training under complex meteorological conditions. On the basis of complex meteorological conditions, Li Zhan added a Foxiao attack. That is, when the Buddha is at dawn, he will go out to attack, simulate a ground attack, and return to another encounter, which will be considered a good start if it is successfully completed.

Li Zhan saw Han Hongjun and Li Zixin sitting there with nowhere to put their hands and feet, and remembered the first time he flew solo, he was like this in the flight briefing room.

is obviously the same age, but because of some unique experiences, he has an older mental age.

"If visibility is low, it's no different from night flights." Li Zhan walked over, sat down in front of them, put his hands on both knees, and said, "According to the usual training, pay attention to the air currents and pay attention to the clouds, you can all do well." ”

As soon as he said this, the two of them became more nervous, and their smiles were a little stiff.

Rubbing his hands, Li Zhan put on his white labor protection gloves and said, "I'll go up to see the situation first, and if I think you are not suitable to come up, I will let the tower notify." ”

"Captain, I can." Han Hongjun said.

Li Zhan smiled and said, "I chose you because your level is relatively high in the brigade, if I think that the actual meteorological environment exceeds expectations, not only you, but the entire brigade except me should not be suitable for flying." ”

"Li Zixin, you did the best night flight, Han Hongjun, your flying skills are the best in Xinfei, as long as you play normally, I don't think it's a big problem." Li Zhandao.

Han Hongjun was embarrassed, such a low-level mistake as pressing the wrong deceleration button happened to him, and he really needed a beautiful turnaround battle to correct his name.

Slowly, Li Zhan put away his smile, his expression became serious, and asked, "Do you know the difference between an air force pilot and a civil aviation pilot?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Li Zixin replied, "We fly fighter planes, and civil aviation pilots fly passenger planes." ”

Han Hongjun thought for a moment and replied, "In addition, uh, the salary of civil aviation pilots is higher than ours. ”

At another time, Li Zhan would definitely give a thumbs up to praise Han Hongjun, but this is the moment of battle.

Li Zhan said solemnly, "Civil aviation pilots are pilots, and air force pilots are flight combatants. We are not only pilots, but combatants. Or that we are first combatants, and then pilots. Flight technology cannot represent combat effectiveness, but combat awareness can definitely give full play to and make use of flight technology. ”

"Civil aviation pilots want to get passengers to their destinations safely, take off safely, fly safely, and land safely. As for us, we are going to fight, we are going to shoot down the enemy, and there are only two results when we go to the sky, first, we return and land in triumph, and second, we are shot down. ”

He pointed to the ceiling and said, "You must remember that once you are in the sky, you must do everything you can to shoot down the enemy, because this is the only way to ensure that you will not be shot down." ”

Han Hongjun and Li Zixin stared in dazed and fell into deep thought.

This is a fresh analysis of the troop pilots, who have never heard such a sharp and concise explanation. From the time they went to the aviation school to the time they left the unit, the instructors and squadron leaders emphasized safety the most. It's like going to work happily and going home safely.

First of all, flight safety is ensured, and on this basis, combat training is carried out. Over the past several decades, the thinking of training has been deeply ingrained, and everyone has taken it for granted, and what seems reasonable is actually contrary to the principle of being close to actual combat training.

Probably only after experiencing blood and fire can I have such a profound experience.

Anyone who goes to war and finds that what you have learned in normal training is almost useless, and you will hate all the training methods that were once considered perfectly reasonable, because you will face death.

After letting them digest it a little, Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "In the past few days, I have repeatedly studied and analyzed today's combat training, and I have done all the preparations that should be made. To be honest, I don't agree with that. What altitude to take after takeoff, what direction to take, to which point to enter the attack course, and at which point to break away, these are all determined. Fly a plane along the planned route, stick to the actual battle? What to do if you encounter enemy aircraft, what to do if you encounter anti-aircraft fire from the ground. ”

"What is more difficult to overcome than the complexity of the weather is the ice of the human mind. The snow on the runway can be cleared with the tail flame of the aviation engine, but how to remove the ice of thinking? Li Zhan seemed to be asking, and he seemed to be asking himself.

Han Hongjun and Li Zixin finally understood the good intentions of the brigade commander, and at the same time understood that they were sitting here at this moment, not only because of their top-notch qualities in all aspects, but also because their combat ideas had always been considered relatively radical in the 101st Regiment.

However, compared with Li Zhan's, their so-called radical ideas are still as conservative as small feet.

Li Zhan stood up and said, "This is the first time, I allow you to come once according to the plan and experience the feeling of flying under complex weather conditions." It won't be that simple next time. ”

"Understood!" The two stood up and replied in unison.

The yellow sirens lit up, Li Zhan lifted his flying helmet and rushed out, Han Hongjun and Li Zixin rushed a few steps before suddenly stopping - it was not their turn yet.

Li Zhan climbed onto the J-7II, numbered Dongqi, connected the oxygen supply system and radio with the help of Cong Dawei, and then easily checked the condition of the various systems of the fighter that was already in the state of driving. The cockpit of the J-7E is already very bad, and the J-7II is simply unsightly, but it is the most familiar to Li Zhan.

Not much different from the Jianjiao-7.

With his eyes closed, he could touch any button with incredible accuracy.

Confirming that it was normal, Li Zhan signed the handover order handed over by Cong Dawei, Cong Dawei climbed down the boarding ladder, removed the boarding ladder, and issued a flag that could close the hatch cover and slide out, and the fighter plane slid out eagerly, much faster than usual.

For the first time in many years, the 101st Regiment conducted combat training under complicated meteorological conditions, and all relevant units of the regiment were all elite and strong generals, and the commander of the tower was Xue Xiangdong himself, and Yang Jinshan was his deputy commander.

Li Zhan went up first to find out the situation, flew him once or twice, and after landing, he took over the command of Xue Xiangdong's tower, and commanded Han Hongjun and Li Zixin to conduct training. This is the only plan that Xue Xiangdong can accept.

The sky before dawn is getting darker and deeper, and there are not more lights in the flight area except for the marker lights and the road width indicator lights, so that the pilot can more accurately judge the runway, taxiway, and parallel road. Li Zhan could clearly feel the slippery tires of the landing gear, and through the bright light of the logo lights, he could see that it was drizzling like fog.

Carefully and quickly entering the take-off position, Li Zhan kept the fighter in a taxiing state and reported to the tower, "Tower, Dong Yu is ready, request to take off, over." ”

Xue Xiangdong looked at the left red and right green navigation lights under the fuselage of the fighter, and replied, "Dongyu, check it and you can take off, climb to the right after leaving the ground, there are thick clouds in the west, over!" ”

"Understood, check the take-off, turn right off the ground and climb, over."

Li Zhan pushed the throttle stick, turned on the afterburner, and released the brakes when the fighter was trembling, and the No. 01 J-7II fighter roared and spewed out a blue tail flame from the nozzle, and ran furiously towards the other end of the runway.

"Hey, it's really expensive to use the engine, and you can start afterburner when you fly!" Xue Xiangdong said when he saw the blue tail flame, and slammed his fist on the command platform.

It is well known that afterburner will shorten the life of the engine,

Yang Jinshan pointed to the No. 01 fighter plane that was taxiing quickly on the runway and said, "Regiment commander, you really can't blame him for this." It was supposed to be an emergency take-off, and according to the regulations, it was necessary to drive afterburner, and the shorter the take-off time, the better, and you can see that he didn't stop after he arrived at the take-off position just now. ”

said so, in fact, Yang Jinshan also beat the drum in his heart. With the actual lifespan of the WP-7A of more than 100 hours, it is really possible for the Mad Demon Brigade to consume the inventory in the warehouse in the foreseeable time. The account is very easy to calculate, and there is nothing left after a few more afterburners.

Xue Xiangdong didn't say anything anymore, in fact, he was psychologically shadowed by the legend of Li Zhan, and his nerves were inevitably a little nervous.

The J-7II climbed at a large angle after turning right, piercing the night sky covered by thick clouds in a near-vertical way, and the blue tail flame sprayed out from the engine nozzle was tens of meters long, producing a powerful thrust of about 1.5 times the normal thrust, pushing the fighter to climb higher at a speed of nearly 150 meters per second.

The advantages of a light high-altitude and high-speed fighter were brought into full play by him, and his crisp and neat movements gave people the same effect as cutting cucumbers.

Li Zhan pinched the time very accurately, counting from the time he turned on the afterburner, and after a minute and a half, he turned off the afterburner. Theoretically, the improved WP-7A turbojet engine can continue to fly for three minutes, but in practice, for the sake of saving engine life, it generally does not exceed two minutes. At this time, there was no need for a large overload maneuver, and as soon as Li Zhan saw that the altimeter showed that the altitude was already nearly eight thousand meters above sea level, he decisively closed his home.

The tail flame from the vent returned to its normal orange color, and the length was shortened a lot, and the tower could no longer see the No. 01 fighter that had entered the clouds.

After passing through the clouds and reaching an altitude of 10,000 meters, Li Zhan aimed at the Big Dipper and continued to climb, the air became thinner and thinner, the air pressure was getting lower and lower, and the temperature was getting lower and lower, so that Li Zhan, who was wearing a jacket-style leather flight suit, could feel the cold outside.

At 15,000 meters, Li Zhanping flew and reported to the tower, "Tower, Dongyu report, altitude, 15,000, course 360, airspeed at 900, over." ”

In the tower, Xue Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, "The tower received, Dongyi, according to the plan, it's over." ”

"Understood, according to plan, over."

The airspace layer of 8000-13000 is the international route of civil aviation, and the clouds below 8000 are thick and turbulent, so there is no choice but to pull to the height of 15000 meters.

Before flying to the airspace line, Li Zhan turned left according to the instructions of the tower and entered the Beiku Mountains. At this time, the first rays of the morning sun appeared, reflected on the left side of his face, and he looked at the orange sun in the east, and his mood suddenly brightened.

"Tower, I'm Dongyi, ready to attack from a height, over."
