Chapter 688: Come on, firepower display

The 2nd Division set aside an irregular square sea area in the sea area on the west side as a live-fire area, and it was obvious that the main content of this live-fire fire was to shoot at the sea.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the competition between the Air Force and the Navy in terms of naval operations. The air force has a large number of bases and stations in the coastal areas, and the coastal areas are the only areas where the naval aviation units are stationed, and it can be said that the coastal areas concentrate most of the elite forces of our army's aviation units.

The naval aviation unit has been in a weak state for a long time, and the air force, as the big brother, has taken the initiative to take up the heavy task of air defense and sea strikes in the far seas. In the past, there was no problem with this, and it would be very difficult for the big brother of the Air Force to maintain the security of territorial waters and airspace by relying on the naval aviation units alone.

Today, however, the times are different from the past, and the navy units are growing stronger day by day, and more and more units have been formed, not only laying dumplings but also releasing planes, and even taking over the aviation units directly from the air force in an integrated manner. Under such circumstances, the HNA naturally hopes to take back the tasks of air defense and sea strikes that originally belonged to them.

The big brother of the Air Force is unwilling to let go, and the reason is very simple - whoever has a stronger sense of existence will get more resource tilt.

In such a situation, the two classes began to compete fiercely. If you engage in attacking the sea against the far sea, right, then I will also practice striking at the ground and air defense, anyway, everyone is an air force, so compete fairly!

The air force occupies a dominant position in air defense, and the navy is the key branch of the military for development, and the competition between the two is slowly comparable, so they simply go hand in hand, and the navy has also figured out that the naval aviation units will move toward carrier-based units in the future, and it is of little significance to stay on land, and the stations in some coastal areas will basically become shore bases for the naval aviation units and bases for bombers that cannot be shipped.

So there is no great need to grab these with the Air Force.

In this way, the air force will be able to extend its scope to the far seas, and use a large number of long-range fighters, bombers, and support aircraft to control the air defense in the far seas. The best thing for the Navy in this situation is to go to the far seas and exert its influence even further. Competition between the branches of the armed forces can effectively promote the enhancement of each other's combat effectiveness.

Against this background, many people subconsciously think that since they are shooting at sea, it must be the navy, and even many news media have made big jokes about the pictures and video materials attached to the navy.

As a matter of fact, the Air Force has a logistics support base in a certain place diagonally opposite the Xixian Field Station, and the main task of that unit is to ensure the training of the troops, such as prohibiting navigation in designated sea areas, deploying targets, maintaining the safety of prohibited sea areas, and so on.

The sea area for live firing has been prepared, and the next step is to wait for the troops to carry out live firing.

At 3:45 p.m., three signal flares were lifted into the air, and the troops were transferred to the first class, and the entire station was suddenly brought to life. The pilots quickly put the mission charts in their pockets, carried their flight helmets and rushed out, and the pilots parked on the remote tarmac were quickly sent over by commuter cars, while the other part of the pilots ran directly to the fighters on the near parking stands.

Today, two regiments were dispatched in succession to conduct live-fire training day and night, with the first detachment of the fourth regiment's J-10A forming the first detachment firing and the fifth regiment's J-11B forming the second detachment. In order to participate in this round-the-clock live-fire shooting, the four regiments stationed at Guibeichang Station for training came over two groups of J-10A through a large number of transfers.

It should be pointed out that the Fifth Regiment is now stationed at the Xixian Field Station with the division headquarters, and the Fourth Regiment was transferred to the North Guangdong Field Station last year to garrison it. The Second Division still implements the rotation training mode of three regiments to temper the combat effectiveness of the three regiments in dealing with various tactical directions.

Yu Chenglin arranged for Li Zhan to be a J-10A with a tactical number of 17, Yu Chenglin's landline when he was the head of the fourth regiment, the condition was very good, he had not been soaked in water and had not been out of danger and maintained in place, of course, there was a little scratching in the process of daily use, the position of the fender board had been painted a little, and the wheel hub had also been deeply maintained. The good thing about this aircraft is that the engine and gearbox are in very good condition, very smooth and very powerful, and it is a high-quality fighter among second-hand fighters.

It doesn't make much sense to look at the flight mileage of this kind of aircraft, even the earliest batch of J-10A is far from being overhauled, so Li Zhan can rest assured that he can pull the rod.

Sitting in the familiar and unfamiliar cockpit, Li Zhan was in a trance, as if he was destined to come to the second division five years ago, when the troops were engaged in a large number of transfer training, there were suddenly several batches of unknown air conditions, he was boldly enabled by Qi Hong to go up, at the most critical moment Yu Chenglin encountered air danger, at that time only he could respond in the sky. Fortunately, the mission was successfully completed.

Wasn't the situation back then similar to what it is now?

The J-10A detachment began the elephant walk in a group of two per group according to the combat group. This method allows more fighters to be dispatched in a short period of time, and is becoming more and more popular with troops. The group began to take off in two planes in succession, carrying various weapons and ammunition into the air and rushing to the live-fire training area.

Li Zhan noticed that there were two J-10As equipped with air-to-ground missiles, and it seemed that the Second Division was not to be left behind, and it also began to pay attention to missile firing training. One or two million air-to-ground missiles can wipe out an ordinary county's annual financial revenue by hitting a single base.

Nanbatian is not in vain, this unit is a benchmark, and it has always been a benchmark, except for one time in the Beiku North Eagle Falcon Brigade, which confrontation exercise and drill are all won by them. After folding the wings of the North Warehouse, the Second Division and a certain brother unit engaged in a confrontation exercise, and a certain brother unit saw that the Second Division was so badly cleaned up in the North Warehouse, and subconsciously did not take the Second Division in their eyes, and as a result, the Second Division was pressed to the ground and rubbed fiercely by the stuffy Second Division.

The second division is still the second division, but you are not the Eagle Falcon Brigade.

Li Zhan was the last fighter of the J-10A detachment to take off, and he carried aerial fire, aerial guns, and LS-6 ammunition throwers. The last type of ammunition is actually a sub-mother bomb, Li Zhan is very experienced in using this kind of ammunition, and Yu Chenglin intends to let him give everyone a demonstration.

The weather in the area where Xixian is located is changeable, and as a native of Xixian County, he has worked in Xixian Station for nine months, and Li Zhan knows this very well. Many of the dangers he encountered at that time were due to sudden changes in the weather. It's already May, and the area where West County is located has entered the rainy season, and it has started to rain very regularly.

It usually rains between 2 and 4 p.m. and usually lasts for one to two hours, the annual rainfall is very high, and the local water resources are very abundant. And it belongs to the tropical marine monsoon climate, and sometimes the weather changes very quickly.

Such climatic conditions objectively increased the difficulty of training for the Second Division and effectively enhanced the combat effectiveness of the troops. Now the concept of combat training of the troops has begun to change, and they will go wherever the weather is more complicated, and temper the combat effectiveness of the troops under complex meteorological conditions.

The tower gave Li Zhan the take-off order, and Li Zhan, who was already waiting on the take-off line, pushed the accelerator and braked and slid away. The AL-31FN turbofan engine roared to push the fighter to accelerate, and after reaching the allowable take-off speed, Li Zhan raised the nose of the plane with a neat lever, and immediately retracted the landing gear, and turned to the left at a large angle before climbing, climbing in height while turning.

The tower commander is a lieutenant colonel staff officer at the division headquarters, and the chief of staff of the headquarters is on duty. In the past, tower commanders were required to have a certain rank and position, but now from division commander to regiment commander, all military commanders must participate in the whole process of combat training, and tower commanders let pilots and staff officers take turns to serve as officers.

Li Zhan's take-off technique made the tower commander amazed, and the chief of staff of the division couldn't stop nodding. They are all old birds, and the level of the pilot can be seen from the take-off action. Of course, they knew that the pilot of the No. 17 J-10A was the famous little prince of the lever, but they had never seen the flight of the little prince of the lever, and now seeing is believing.

Because the live-fire area was only a few dozen kilometers away from the field, the fighters participating in the training did not form a formation, but flew directly over to shoot at a certain interval with two planes as a firing group, and then turned left to the south to break away.

Li Zhan was at the end, and after an interval of one minute, Yu Chenglin led the J-11B detachment to take off. Since the completion of the modification of the J-11B, Yu Chenglin has rarely flown the J-10A. As the leader of the division, he often led troops to the South China Sea for cruises.

In the Air Force, there is also a chain of contempt, heavy fighters look down on medium fighters, and medium fighters look down on light fighters, specifically, those who drive the J-11 series look down on the J-10 series, and those who drive the J-10 series look down on the J-7 and J-8.

Generally speaking, unless all the troops are equipped with J-10, and the troops equipped with J-10 and J-11 at the same time, the leaders are usually the same

Later, when the J-10 and the J-11 confronted, they taught the J-11 to be a man, and the one who drove the J-11 was not so arrogant in the face of the J-10.

According to the grade, the main fighters of the Air Force adopt a high-low match, the J-11 belongs to the high-end, and the J-10 belongs to the low-end. The J-10 was originally intended to replace the J-7. After all, heavy fighters have a natural advantage. Especially for the air force units that aspire to strike at the far seas, the attraction of heavy fighters is incomparably strong.

In free air combat, the J-11 can't beat the J-10 at all, but the Air Force's obsession with the J-11 is still unaffected. It is believed that before the fourth-generation aircraft is fully put into service, the J-11 series of heavy fighters will carry the banner of the air force.

When Li Zhan was climbing, he found that there was a large group of cumulonimbus clouds moving in the northwest direction in the southeast, and immediately called the tower, "Tower, there are large cumulonimbus clouds in the southeast direction, which are moving towards the field, let the meteorological station pay attention to it, over." ”

"The tower received it, and the abduction was implemented according to the plan, and it was completed."

"I understand!"

Li Zhan flew flat at an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level, and adjusted the course to 270 degrees according to the chart, that is, due west. The sea area of live firing is in the southwest direction, so he must first fly westward, and then turn south after reaching the turning point, and then establish an attack route to strike at the designated target.

At this time, it happened to be the time when the fighters in front of them turned left and broke away after firing, and the other pilots were able to watch Li Zhan's shooting demonstration at close range through the good vision of the left flank. But there is no way to achieve a very close distance, for the sake of safety, the other pilots have to keep a certain distance from Li Zhan.

The whole process of Li Zhan's shooting was only accompanied by the J-11BS piloted by Yu Chenglin, and the pilots in the rear cabin were responsible for shooting, and they were also Li Zhan's support aircraft, observing the No. 17 J-10A from the outside in case of accidents.

The forbidden sea area was suddenly plunged into war.

In fact, it simulated that our air strike planes would strike at enemy islands and sea targets from different directions, requiring speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

Enter fast, hit fast, hit accurately, hit hard, and withdraw fast.

There are several islands and reefs in the no-navigation sea area, and the logistics support force has set up surface and point targets on them, and at the same time, mobile targets that follow the tide have been deployed in the designated sea area. The hardest part is to move with the flow, which may be just a few square meters of white cloth or even a small sampan.

To hit the target, the first thing to do is to find the target.

At this time, the purpose of beating the troops was achieved, and the pilots entered the mission airspace to search, using a variety of ways to find the target in the vast sea.

The pilots entered the attack route according to the route on the chart, aimed and fired, poured out the fire, and visually saw the damage effect when turning and detaching.

It's as simple as shooting with precision in an infantry position.

Li Zhan had only one fixed target, and that was to use the LS-6 ammunition thrower to carry out a covering bombardment within 500 meters of the island and reef. He then needs to attack the moving targets with fire.

If you don't come to a bit of difficulty, I'm really sorry for the reputation of the little prince of the lever.

The fighters in front of him had finished shooting, and it was time for Li Zhan to show off his superb and handsome flying shooting skills.

He flipped up and down and moved his muscles, from time to time a few barrels to make the ammunition and the fighter more closely connected, and another speed change, even if it was to move his body away.

He called to the tower, "Tower, the crutch is ready, request an attack, over." ”

"You can carry out the attack as planned, over." Amid the sound of electronic interference, the voice of the tower commander had some expectations.

Everyone wants to see the legend in action.

Come on, show.

Li Zhan adjusted the flight altitude and finally set it at an altitude of 2,300 meters, and then immediately established an attack route, with the nose pointing at the islands and reefs. Setting the attack height is very important, because it is the ammunition dispenser that has to be dropped, and in order to ensure the accuracy of the coverage, the fighter cannot dive and attack like an aerial fire, but fly over the target by means of horizontal bombing. Therefore, factors such as attack altitude, flight speed, wind direction, wind force, etc., will affect the landing point.

Li Zhan used the shooting element computer to calculate the shooting element, and found that there were some errors in the mental arithmetic data, so he made some adjustments based on his own experience. This is the most important stage from being able to use it to being good at using it.

"Shoot the ammunition on your way! Repeat, shoot ammunition on crutches! ”

When he was about to reach the firing point, Li Zhan immediately pressed the launch button after reporting it. The LS-6 ammunition dispenser on the pylon detached, flew forward and fell down under the action of inertia, and after reaching the height of the parachute, it landed and opened, and the LS-6 ammunition dispenser stabilized its attitude, and then the six bullets were separated, and then the six bullets were separated again, and more submunitions were separated layer by layer, and when they reached an altitude of 500 meters, hundreds of submunitions had been separated, like a cloud of rain from the sky, and the speed fell faster and faster under the action of gravitational acceleration.

Suddenly, all the sea water in a radius of 500 meters of the island and reef seemed to suddenly boil, raising countless thin boils, just like the scene where Tang Bohu sprinkled a handful of thunderbolt steel balls on Tang Bohu's father's face in the autumn incense.

Li Zhan quickly turned and detached, and when he looked down, he was also shocked by this attack effect. This ammunition is simply a nightmare for the enemy's light armored units and infantry units!

Such ammunition may not have a strong invading force and does not have the ability to attack fortifications, but for lightly armored troops and infantry units with weak protection, this kind of ammunition that can release a large amount of ammunition in a short period of time to form a barrage is definitely a nightmare.

In addition to Li Zhan, the J-10A detachment all returned to the house to re-replenish and prepare for the second round of live-fire training, and they have already seen the use of the LS-6 ammunition dispenser demonstrated by Li Zhan. Yu Chenglin drove the J-11BS to accompany Li Zhan and observed the whole process up close.

Next, Li Zhan will follow the J-11B detachment to conduct live firing, and he will act as an instructor to guide the troops' shooting.

The J-11B is not so exciting, the J-10A is more flexible and the entry speed is relatively fast, while the J-11B is like an old man walking into the fire slowly, and the J-11B is more excellent in terms of low-altitude and low-speed performance, so it can often be played more accurately. In addition, the J-11B model is huge, which can put a lot of psychological pressure on enemy personnel when diving and attacking.

Anyone who sees a 30-ton fighter plane swooping down on them will be scared.

Li Zhan also saw the progress of the Second Division in the process of pointing out from the side, and compared with five years ago, most of the pilots of the Second Division had reached the excellent level in Li Zhan's mind. Again, the best way to improve combat effectiveness is to burn more aviation fuel and shoot more live ammunition, and good pilots are built with massive amounts of aviation fuel and ammunition.

Soon, the J-11B detachment also completed the first round of live firing and began to return home, while Li Zhan continued to hover over the forbidden sea area, waiting for the command to attack the moving target on the sea surface.

Yu Chenglin wanted to continue to accompany the flight, and he wanted to film the process of Li Zhan hitting the moving target on the sea surface and make it into a video tutorial. This is the main purpose of Yu Chenglin to make Li Zhan a guest instructor. Everyone believes that what Li Zhanfei flies out is the standard, what he plays is the standard, and he is a super ace pilot who sets the standard.

All aspects of the work are steadily advancing, and the time is gradually coming to the point where it should be, and the countdown to the attack on the moving target on the sea surface has begun.

It's going to be a bloody storm!
