On March 14th, the weather in the Beiku area was very good, the sky was clear, the visibility was great, and the wind direction and wind speed on the ground were very ideal.

At least for now.

Zhang Yuan predicts that there will be no more heavy snowfall from today onwards. There will be a small amount of snowfall, but there will be no knee-deep heavy snowfall before the Chinese New Year. Undoubtedly, this is good news for the 101st regiment. There will be the lowest weather, but it will not be excessive, which is the type that Li Zhan likes.

At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Xiangdong and Yang Jinshan came to the tower on time, and stood beside Li Zhan, the commander on duty, on the left and on the right.

"Are you ready?" Xue Xiangdong asked.

Li Zhan said, "The regiment commander and deputy regiment are all ready, and the hangar and tarmac are all ready." Even if I come to a teacher, I can eat it. ”

"Don't be naughty with me, you don't have the experience of commanding large aircraft groups to take off and land, you must cheer up." Xue Xiangdong warned solemnly.

Yang Jinshan said, "The regiment commander is right, you can't take it lightly, you do it well, let your old leaders see how you have grown after you arrived at the 101st regiment." ”

"Deputy regiment, if you want to say that, then I'll do it." Li Zhan said with a smile.

",, make sure they are impressed." Yang Jinshan laughed.

Xue Xiangdong glanced at the position of the meteorological attendant, frowned and asked, "What about the meteorological officer?" ”

"Oh, it's Deputy Station Chief Zhang Yuan on duty today, and he hasn't come over yet." Li Zhan looked at the time, Zhang Yuan was late, this is not a good phenomenon.

Yang Jinshan saw that Xue Xiangdong's expression was not quite right, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Zhang Yuan is also from the second division, hehe, it's good, you can meet the old leaders and old comrades." ”

Xue Xiangdong was not so easy to fool, and pointed at Li Zhan, "Call him." ”

The meteorologist is the second most important post, the commander has arrived, but the meteorian is late. This is relatively rare. Xue Xiangdong was not angry because of Zhang Yuan's tardiness, but worried that the weather would change. Zhang Yuan is a very professional technical deputy director, and he will not be late for no reason.

Yang Jinshan was worried that Xue Xiangdong would go crazy and affect the relationship with the Beiku Meteorological Observatory, but he didn't think of a deeper reason.

Li Zhan thought about it, and he was more worried than anyone else that the weather would change badly. After preparing for so long, isn't it just waiting for a good pretence in front of old comrades-in-arms today? If it weren't for Xue Xiangdong's refusal to approve it, Li Zhan would even fly up to greet him in the air.

Of course, these are not the most important things, and it is okay to joke about it, but it should never be taken lightly.

The long-distance transfer of the entire 24 fighters has flown more than 4,000 kilometers, but they can't descend when they arrive at your North Warehouse. Take-off and landing is never a one-sided thing, and even in many cases, an excellent tower commander is an important guarantee for safe take-off and landing.

At that time, Li Zhan was able to turn the danger into a disaster several times in the Second Division, and the tower commander was indispensable. For example, when the engine compartment caught fire due to a lightning strike, it was Deputy Commander Yu Chenglin who keenly saw the flashing firelight in the case of extremely low visibility, thus reminding Li Zhan in time and gaining precious time for the forced landing. Otherwise, when the fire spreads to the middle of the fuselage, whether Li Zhan can drive the plane back is a matter of words!

It is more difficult to command a large group of aircraft to land than to command takeoff, which is a great test of the control and coordination ability of the tower commander. If it is required by wartime standards, it also needs to be completed in the shortest possible time. The faster the better, you can never find a subject or a thing that is as slow as possible. Speed is always one of the keys to victory.

"Regiment leader, the meteorological observatory duty room said that Deputy Director Zhang Yuan is already on the way." Li Zhan put down the phone and said.

Xue Xiangdong was a little relieved. If there is a change in the weather, Zhang Yuan directly calls the tower and asks to cancel the pick-up. Because if there are no landing conditions at the North Reservoir Station, then Lan Zhi must hurry up and arrange for the group of planes that are flying in the air to the North Reservoir at this moment to carry out the diversion landing plan. So Zhang Yuan won't come over to report. He wants to come over, which means that there are conditions for take-off and landing in this field.

"Check the ground preparations." Xue Xiangdong sat down and said.

Li Zhan immediately contacted all the ground units to confirm that all departments had completed their preparations, and then reported to Xue Xiangdong. Xue Xiangdong picked up the special line phone and reported to the division, which meant that the North Reservoir Station was ready for everything. This procedure is very important, and Lan pointed out that the next step should be made according to the specific situation of the North Reservoir Station.

"They went smoothly and are expected to arrive in thirty minutes." Xue Xiangdong hung up the phone and said to Li Zhan.

Li Zhan subconsciously rolled up his sleeves and said, "I hope everything goes well!" ”

A rush of footsteps came, and Zhang Yuan arrived.

"Captain Xue." Zhang Yuan saluted and greeted, "I have confirmed it again and again, the weather is fine." Li Zhan, landed from Nantou. ”

As he spoke, he signed his name on the duty list, which meant that he would be responsible for the take-off and landing direction, and the next thing was Li Zhan, the commander on duty.

Li Zhan said, "Understand, from south to north." ”

This is to determine the direction of take-off and landing, and unlike civil aviation, the troops will not use Arabic numerals and English letters as the runway code, but directly stated. The principle of the use of terminology in the army is that the simpler and clearer the better, and avoid complex formulations.

At 16:05 p.m., North Kutatai received a call from the first pilot of the 2nd Division's transfer unit, and his voice came out very clearly through the loudspeaker.

"North Kuta Terrace, communication frequency 8494:49, I am 020037, ten kilometers away, request landing, over." It was Yu Chenglin's voice.

Exceptionally kind.

Li Zhan remembered that the day before he left the Second Division, when he left the division commander's office and went downstairs, Yu Chenglin was waiting for him downstairs, but in anger, he didn't pay attention to Yu Chenglin, and it had been more than half a year. Thinking back carefully on the nine months in the Second Division, Yu Chenglin was very good to Li Zhan, otherwise it would be difficult for Li Zhan to return to flying as soon as possible after many dangerous situations.

"020037, I'm North Kuta Tower, the radar sees you, maintain a high speed to enter the field, and land from south to north. Please note that direct landing. Complete. Li Zhan replied happily.

Yu Chenglin obviously also heard Li Zhan's voice coming, and said, "Received, keep entering the field, land directly from south to north, over." ”

A minute later, the 037 J-7E continued to descend in altitude, and the familiar shape of the double delta wing was full of flexibility, lightly touching the ground, releasing the parachute, whistling and sliding to the end of the runway, the parachute detached, and the fighter slid out of the main runway.

"Deputy Head Yu, welcome to Beiku." Li Zhan said with a smile.

Yu Chenglin smiled, looked sideways in the direction of the tower, although he couldn't see Li Zhan at all, and said, "Comrade Li Zhan, we meet again, thank you!" ”

"The division commander is the last one." Yu Chenglin reminded.

"Understood, please follow the guide car into the tarmac." Li Zhan's face changed slightly, and he said.

"Understood."

The guide car led the No. 037 fighter into the tarmac, where the officers and men who had already done field work dragged away the parachute on the main runway, and carried out a quick inspection of the runway.

One after another, 24 fighters landed in a column under the command of Li Zhan and were lost at the station, and the busy appearance once resembled that of a civil aviation international airport. After landing ten planes, Li Zhan asked the follow-up fighters not to release the parachute when they landed, and directly taxied to the end of the runway, slid out from the end of the runway, and accelerated the speed of landing.

The last fighter plane landed at the Beikuchang station, Xue Xiangdong brought a group of leaders, Zheng Kaiyun led the team of the station, and the director of the meteorological station and several backbones were already waiting on the tarmac. The commander of the Second Division personally led the team to transfer to the field, and in Chen Hualin's absence, the leaders of the three major units of the 101st Regiment, the Beikuchang Station, and the Beikuo Meteorological Observatory basically rushed out to greet them. This kind of welcome and sending is not good, but it has always been so, and if you don't do it, you will be ignorant.

Of course, Li Zhan didn't come over, and after signing the duty list, he went directly to Yu Chenglin. The first is to meet the old comrades, and the second is to see the old fellow of the No. 037 fighter.

"First brother!" A pilot ran over excitedly with a flight helmet, and waved at Li Zhan on the commuter car and shouted, that person was Tang Leilei.

The 212 jeep stopped on the parallel road, and on the side of the No. 037 fighter plane were the pilots of the second division and the fourth regiment in a neat line, and Yu Chenglin stood in front of the team and spoke briefly. At this time, he also stopped, turned around and looked at Li Zhan with a smile.

Li Zhan smashed his fist on Tang Leilei's arm, "Tang Leilei, good boy, it's a lot stronger, well, this new flight suit, it's good-looking." ”

"The experimental version hasn't been finalized yet." Tang Leilei looked at the tall flight gear on his body, and then looked at the black old-fashioned flight jacket that Li Zhan was wearing, and realized that he couldn't continue to talk on this topic, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Yi, everyone misses you very much." ”

"I miss you too." Li Zhan patted Tang Leilei on the shoulder, walked towards the old comrades-in-arms of the Fourth Regiment, saluted Yu Chenglin, and saluted the team.

Yu Chenglin laughed and said, "Our first brother is here, come, comrades, please say a few words, everyone chirp." ”

"Good!" The old comrades-in-arms applauded.

Li Zhan stood in front of the team, saluted everyone again, looked at more than 20 familiar faces, and sighed with emotion, "Hello old comrades-in-arms, I am very excited to see you again, I have been away for more than half a year, I want to ask, did the four regiments of this year's basketball game win the first place?" ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst out laughing, thinking of the terrifying precision that Li Zhan had in his shot, and they laughed even harder.

Li Zhan's face turned pale, and he said, "Welcome to Beiku, comrades have worked hard all the way!" Everyone has seen that the conditions in Beiku are not as good as those in Xixian, and the environment is relatively harsh, so there is nothing to entertain, but the beef and mutton are enough, and if you want to drink two sips, you can also find me! ”

"Good!" Everybody is crazy about glitches.

Yu Chenglin waved his hand, "I'm still here, okay, Tang Leilei led the team to go with the comrades in Beiku, settle down first, listen to the order to gather for dinner, and disband!" ”

Tang Leilei hurriedly came over and led the team to get on the bus on the side, and roared to the guest house at the station. At that end, Xue Xiangdong and others talked around the tall and handsome Qi Hong, Qi Hong wore a big sunglasses and was full of style, comparing Xue Xiangdong's group of people to turtles.

Seeing that Qi Hong was invited to the half-old military region and was allocated to the 101st Regiment after more than ten years, Yu Chenglin looked up at the sky and said, "It has to be eight or nine o'clock here before it gets dark, right?" Let's talk? ”

"Deputy regiment, I resolutely obey orders." Li Zhan said with a smile and invited Yu Chenglin to the warrior commuter car.

What should come is still coming.
