After the "Red Arrow" surface patrol team arrived at the scene, Li Zhan and the others turned to return home, and the endurance of the J-8FR was limited and could not stay in the air for a long time. However, the black ribbon had enough fuel to continue to stay in the air, and in this case, Chen Ming continued to carry out the next test as planned.

In the end, the "Queen Berta" cruise ship did not escape, and the pirates installed explosives at the keel position and severely damaged the 100,000-ton cruise ship, in the process, thousands of Japanese tourists were killed and injured, and the scene was very miserable.

The fighters couldn't help anymore, so Li Zhan and the others turned back and left the rest to the "Red Arrow" surface patrol. Zhong Guobang was very excited about this, and his soldiers could finally come in handy.

After returning to the airport at Wangwojiao, Li Zhan immediately held an analysis meeting with Zhu Wei and Li Zixin to study the problems encountered in the training process and form a more perfect teaching plan, which can be used in the teaching of the 117 Squadron in the future.

The next day, the "Red Arrow" surface patrol team returned from a humanitarian rescue mission, and on this day, Zhu Wei and Li Zixin took off and flew north to escort an Airbus 320. The Airbus 320 charter plane was carrying the families of the officers and soldiers of the Forget the Reef, and more than 200 people embarked on a trip to visit relatives and a tour of the islands and reefs in the South China Sea.

As a representative of the Air Force, Li Zhan attended a welcoming meeting for the families of the Forgotten Reef and delivered a warm speech full of gratitude.

He said, "Dear military families, I am very, very grateful to you for your contribution in silence. Without you, our soldiers would not be able to work with peace of mind, and without your support, our defense line would not be so strong! You are great, and the military medal has half of yours! Hats off to you! ”

To all the military dependents, Li Zhan gave very high courtesy.

In the following time, Li Zhan, Zhu Wei and Li Zixin continued to confront the 117 Squadron, helping the 117 Squadron to become familiar with the use of the gray-white J-8FR as soon as possible. At the same time, it will continue to assist the garrison of the reef in patrolling to ensure the safety of the shipping lane.

If you want to choose one of the most experienced combat flight instructors in the Air Force, it is undoubtedly Li Zhan. The Falcon Brigade he brought out is a living example of his ability. With the blessing of Zhu Wei and Li Zixin, the modification training of the 117 Squadron progressed quite quickly, and the effect was surprisingly good.

After staying at the Forgotten Reef for more than half a month, Li Zhan and the three of them bid farewell to Zhong Guobang and the others, and took off to return to Shuilingchang Station. Li Zhan went home to continue his remaining vacation, while Zhu Wei and Li Zixin waited at Shuilingchang Station. A week later, Li Zhan came to Shuilingchang Station again after his vacation, and then returned to Beikuchang Station with Zhu Wei and Li Zixin in a J-8FR.

At the North Reservoir Station, Chen Ming and other members of the fourth-generation aircraft test flight team have arrived, along with two Black Ribbons, which are about to carry out a confrontational test between the Black Ribbon and the Eagle Falcon Brigade to comprehensively test the Black Ribbon's air combat capability.

Li Zhan came to the office building of the base, and Fang Chenghe, the old leader and commander of the air defense base, was waiting for him.

As soon as he saw Li Zhan, Fang Chenghe got up and walked quickly to meet him, took Li Zhan's arm and invited him to sit down at the guest's side, and said with a smile, "Look, you're still back." You've been out for a long time, boy, it's time to come back. ”

"Old leader, revolutionary soldiers are bricks, where they need to be moved!" Li Zhan was also very excited, Fang Chenghe was the first leader he met after he got out of the army, and it was Fang Chenghe who pulled him over from the training base back then.

Fang Chenghe laughed, pointed at Li Zhan and said, "You kid is a piece of material for political work, come to me to be a regimental political commissar?" How, think about it. ”

He's kidding.

But Li Zhan actually really pondered and said, "Okay, I'll think about it." ”

"Are you really?" Fang Chenghe was a little frightened.

Li Zhan spread his hands and said, "It's not impossible, you have to try any position." ”

"Some people say that you go to the flying shark because they have sea supplements, and your kid has always been very practical in thinking about problems, and you can stand it if you don't fly?" Fang Chenghe stared at Li Zhan and asked.

Li Zhan suddenly laughed and said, "I'm joking old leader, it's so possible for me to leave the front line of flying, I can't stay for a day without flying." ”

"That's right! Is a little prince who doesn't fly a little prince still a little prince who doesn't fly? Hahaha. Fang Chenghe breathed a sigh of relief, Li Zhan didn't pull the lever, this was simply unimaginable, he said, "Even if you don't want to fly, the troops won't let you stop, if you don't fly, how much will the troops lose." You, let's continue to fly for more than ten or twenty years, and become an instructor after the flight is grounded, and that's your way. ”

Li Zhan said with a smile, "Old leader, you can't expect me to be good, I can't be a military commander or something, a brigade commander and division commander." ”

"Yes, you have the ability, it's just a matter of time. But I've been hearing you say that you're not interested in leadership. Fang Chenghe said.

Li Zhan nodded, "Yes, I like to fly on the front line, I can manage a brigade, but I don't have the ability to manage a brigade and a division." ”

Fang Chenghe waved his hand and said, "People are always growing, and if they don't have enough ability now, they will be enough in the future." To get down to business, the next stage of the fourth-generation aircraft test flight has been handed over to me to be responsible, and I will put it on the name, and you will be responsible for the actual work. In order to facilitate the work, you are given a temporary position. Do you know what the job title is? ”

"It's just a temporary position, you can do anything." Li Zhan said with a smile.

His establishment is already in the air division, and when he comes to work at the grassroots level, he can only take up a temporary post, unless the formalities are transferred.

"A temporary position is also a job." Fang Chenghe said, "You kid, now you are the deputy chief of staff of the 101st Brigade and the head of the base training department. ”2018

All of them are regimental level positions.

Li Zhan was surprised and said, "The head of the training department? Old leader, the main position is not suitable, right? ”

Temporary posts are generally deputies, and this arrangement will not have a great impact on the work of the troops. If you come to work for half a year and a year, if you are in a full-time position, it is easy to have problems with the work connection after the expiration of the suspension period.

The base seems to have some other purpose in this arrangement.

Sure enough, Fang Chenghe said, "The deputy chief of staff of the brigade is not imaginary, and the work of the training department is even more important, and it is responsible for all the training work of the units under the base, and it is also responsible for organizing and guiding the training work of all the troops who come to be stationed for training." Since you're here, I can still let you rest, you kid is not ordinary now, the people of the air division, if I don't seize the opportunity to let you contribute more to the old troops, I'm afraid there will really be no such opportunity in the future. ”

Li Zhan smiled helplessly, "Old leader, you are trying to squeeze out my surplus value!" ”

"It's time for you to contribute to the old troops, too." Fang Chenghe's face slowly became serious as he spoke, and said, "It just so happens that the training of the troops under the base has encountered some bottlenecks, and the Eagle Falcon Brigade you brought out is in the same situation. I have seriously thought about it, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will reach a higher level after breaking through this bottleneck. If you don't come, I'll apply to the air division to transfer you over for a while, and it's just because you're going to come over for a test flight, which couldn't be better. ”

Li Zhan immediately fell in love, the Eagle Falcon Brigade was his heart, and his status in his heart was more important than that of the Flying Shark Force.

He asked, "What exactly is the problem?" ”

Fang Chenghe said with a smile, "The specific question will give you a comprehensive material, let's not talk about this now." Tell me how you're going to do your test flight? ”

"Fight directly, the Black Ribbon and the Eagle Falcon Brigade will fight. The R&D team needs specific data, they are professionals, and only data can make them accept, and it is not enough to just talk about feelings. The first more important question is what kind of battle-loss ratio the confrontation between fourth-generation and third-generation aircraft is. ”

Nodding slightly, Fang Chenghe said, "In this way, I'm afraid I will have to play a lot of games, and the data that can't go up is not convincing." ”

Li Zhan said, "The initial plan is to fight 100 games in the next month, which means that there will be three to four fights per flight day. Fight with J-10 first, and then fight with J-11 after getting the preliminary data. Therefore, the next flight intensity will be very large, and I am afraid that the base side will have to give priority to guaranteeing it. ”

"It's not a problem, the two stations of the South Reservoir and the East Reservoir can be used, and I arrange most of the daily training take-off and landing to these two stations, and the North Reservoir Station is mainly based on your test flights." Fang Chenghe agreed.

The test flight work of the fourth-generation aircraft is definitely the first, Fang Chenghe, an old air force, was in tears after seeing the black ribbon transfer landing, and he was more excited to see the fourth-generation aircraft he developed in his lifetime.

Li Zhan said, "I knew that the old army would give us full support for our test flight work." Another point is that what I want is not a single fight, but a Black Ribbon and at least eight third-generation aircraft. Therefore, all the pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade must stay at the North Reservoir Station, and all the pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade must not be on vacation, and all personnel must be on standby to participate in the confrontation at any time. ”

"One-to-many?" Fang Chenghe was surprised.

Generally, this adversarial test is conducted one-on-one, simulating multiple confrontations based on the number of locked shots in simulated air combat. For example, if I lock and shoot you ten times in a row and you can only lock and shoot me once, then you can consider the battle loss ratio to be 1 to 10.

"Yes, in order to pursue more realistic data, this must be done. ”

Fang Chenghe groaned and said, "That is to say, almost every day in the next month will be a flight day, and almost every day there will be nine fighters fighting freely in the sky. ”

"It's not nine, it's eighteen." Li Zhan shook his head and said, "I will drive one, Chen Ming will open one, and divide them into two confrontation groups, each against eight third-generation aircraft." In this way, after a hundred battles, I can get the most realistic battle loss ratio of nearly 1,000 battles. ”

Fang Chenghe was a little stunned, and it took a while to react, and he said with emotion, "Are you going to fly to death, are you very short of money?" ”

"Old leader, look at what you said, don't make such a joke. I made the plan, and the air company approved it, so there is no such thing as a trolley fee. Li Zhan said helplessly, "The Black Ribbon is still a prototype, and the R&D team urgently needs actual combat data to evaluate the overall performance of the fighter." The troops are urging tightly, and the R&D team and manufacturers are under great pressure. ”

"That's right, this plan is a bit crazy, but we didn't do it back then, and the Eagle Falcon Brigade came from such ultra-high-intensity flight training, and the effect is obvious." Li Zhan said.

Fang Chenghe said, "It depends on whether God cooperates or not, and it is impossible to be suitable for flying weather every day." ”

"No, as long as it's not extremely bad weather, my test flights won't stop." Li Zhan said decisively.

Fang Chenghe subconsciously leaned back and looked at Li Zhan again.

He suddenly realized that the reason why the training of the 101st Brigade had encountered a bottleneck was not that there was a problem with the training mode, but that everyone's awareness was weak. It is not a question of military training, but of ideological education.

"Looks like you've really given me a cameo as a political commissar."
