Looking at the airport as I turned the corner, the gaps in the clouds disappeared, and the rain may have started again. Li Zhan knew very well in his heart that he proposed the plan, and he was the one who knew the topography of Lake No. 1 best.

Li Zhan knew even more that as long as he went to heaven, no one could help him, and the tower didn't even have a way to give him effective instructions. Everything needs to be up to him, like a lone warrior standing on the front line, facing tens of millions of enemy heavy cavalry frantically rushing in.

The lone warrior will be the strongest against the most ferocious flood.

Continue to climb higher and higher until it reaches the top of the clouds, enters the stratosphere at 10,000 meters, and then enters the cruise. The fully loaded J-8FR is no longer flexible, in fact, in the actual use process, the J-8 series fighters are rarely fully loaded, to be precise, all models rarely take off with a full load.

As far as Li Zhan's driving experience is concerned, driving the J-7 used to be like driving a four-cylinder sports car, and driving the J-8 was like a six-cylinder or eight-cylinder muscle car, but now, driving a heavy goods vehicle. It takes more force to break the lever and more force to step on the left and right rudders......

The most obvious place is that when he took off with afterburner, he actually did not expect that after adding more than three tons of payload, the J-8FR would climb so laboriously, so it appeared at a height of several meters from the runway and continued to fly hundreds of meters.

The time window is not only the window for the take-off of the field, but also the flyable weather window of the target area. It is necessary to find the time period when the weather in this field and the target area improve at the same time, otherwise Li Fengxiang and so many other meteorological experts would not have waited so long.

Fang Chenghe reminded Li Zhan again, "Outside the cave, after arriving at the target airspace, you only have ten minutes at most, remember, you only have ten minutes at most." Report when you're ready, I'll give you time, over. ”

"Understand, report when you're ready, you pinch the time."

The next thing is that the tower constantly reports the direction, and the ground radar guides Li Zhan's flight. Under such harsh meteorological conditions, it is difficult for Li Zhan to rely on radar to fly, and although the fire control radar equipped with the J-8FR theoretically has a downward view function, its role is very limited.

The tower was very quiet, and there was only the sound of Fang Chenghe and Li Zhan talking to Lu Kong.

Fang Chenghe glanced at the radar display screen on the left and said, "Cave Commander, the target is directly in front of you, get ready to enter the mountain, how much height you go down to control yourself, over." ”

Li Zhan replied, "Understood, prepare to go down to the height." ”

Laboriously sideways the fuselage, Li Zhan looked down, and could only see the clouds. When he looked up again, he saw the sunset in the west, and the sunset was red on his face, like a man drinking wine. The thick clouds were a thick wall separating heaven and earth, and above the clouds a bright sky was blue, and under the clouds a dark storm raged.

It is also troublesome to get under the height when the weight is large, the fuselage structure cannot bear the speed when the speed is large, and it is easy to stall when the speed is small. However, any pilot who flies close to the maximum payload will fly well-behaved, and he will not dare to be careless at all, and he will not fall first before he reaches the target area.

Li Zhan descended to altitude like a passenger plane......

"This kid is too cautious." In the tower, Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.

The current tower can be described as a strong lineup, and all the relevant persons in charge at Longcheng Airport are in place, and those who do not have command and control tasks are all standing or sitting in the back, ready to carry out their own work according to orders at any time.

Yu Chenglin said, "Prudence is a good thing, now is to hit a fixed target, as stable as possible." ”

"Su Liangqi should be allowed to do this, the plane is more stable." Zhang Wei sighed.

There was no preparation earlier, and now the Xixian area is suffering from the ravages of super typhoon Ma Li, and the fighters cannot take off at all, objectively forming only one fighter in the hands of the Second Division that can be used to carry out this mission, that is, Li Zhan's No. 101 J-8FR tactical reconnaissance aircraft.

In order to transfer this batch of ammunition, the Second Division, the Military Region, the Air Division, the General Headquarters, and the highest higher-level leading organs went through a whole set of procedures in a very short period of time. When it comes to ammunition, you can't make a mistake, and as long as one of the procedures doesn't meet the regulations, you won't get anything.

Who knows if you're going to have a convulsion and throw ammunition into important areas?

Joining the military requires political review, and the closer the service unit is to the center of power, the stricter the political review becomes, because the military is the most violent type of person on the planet.

Fang Chenghe said: "The meteorological department has cheered up, and there is a problem with the work on the ground, and the division party committee will investigate it to the end." ”

This is not only for people in the meteorological department, but also for people in other departments. At this moment, Li Zhan is desperately working in front, and the lack of support on the ground will not only lead to the failure of the operation, but also put Li Zhan in danger. This is especially important for meteorological services.

"Tower, radar to confirm my location." Li Zhan called.

Fang Chenghe stared at the radar operator, the radar operator's hand trembled slightly, and finally took out the specific latitude and longitude data, Fang Chenghe immediately reported it to Li Zhan, and then said, "The location is very good, ready to enter the mountain." ”

"Understood, continue to descend into the mountain." Li Zhan repeated the instructions.

The No. 101 J-8FR tactical reconnaissance plane, which was fully loaded and close to the maximum load, continued to descend steadily at altitude, and when passing through the clouds, it was affected by turbulence and had a large bump, and it was fluttering for a while, but fortunately, it went down to the clouds without danger.

Self-weight is also good, at least there is more gravity to fight against crosswind turbulence or something.

When he reached the bottom of the clouds, the visibility suddenly deteriorated, and Li Zhan found the location of Lake No. 1 and began to circle. At this time, the clouds over Lake No. 1 are relatively thin, the visibility is better, and the rainfall is much less, which is the window that can be used.

The time given by the meteorological department is accurate to the minute - ten minutes for a full dozen.

"Wait, it's not the best time." Fang Chenghe got Li Fengxiang's suggestion and immediately instructed Li Zhan.

Li Zhan disagreed, and said, "Tower, I request to enter immediately to find the target location, I can probably see the situation of Lake No. 1, and if I go down a little higher, I should be able to see it clearly." ”

His idea is simple, the sooner he invests in finding the point of attack, the more time he will have to attack later. Confident as he is, he doesn't dare to guarantee that an attack will be successful. Besides, if he brought three precision-guided munitions and four sets of aerial bombs, if the attack point was not selected well, and hit on a thick mountain, more than three tons of ammunition would not work at all.

The best effect is fixed-point blasting, but unfortunately there are no conditions. Compared with the accurate point blasting operation, the air strike and bombing, which mainly focus on killing and destroying, will not be very optimistic in the face of the fact that "the more mountains are killed".

The time has come to test the pilots' ground strike skills, and it will be an all-round test. Choose the weakest mountain, and it must be on the lowest side, and use precision ammunition to bombard the same point in succession, chiseling through it like a steel drill.

Fang Chenghe pondered for a while and said, "Cave Commander, agree to find the attack point immediately and pay attention to the altitude and speed." ”

The emphasis on paying attention to altitude and speed is very important precisely because flying in the mountains is very important.

"Understood, I'm down." Li Zhan cautiously lowered the height, Xu felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, and joked, "My current feeling is that I have opened a heavy truck and flew in the sky, and I can't let go of my hands and feet, so it's better to fly back to Jian-Qi." ”

There was a chuckle at the tower, and the solemn aura dissipated a lot.

Fang Chenghe also smiled, "Don't scrap the engine, it's easy to say anything." ”

Li Zhan continued to descend in altitude, maneuvering the cumbersome J-8FR to carefully pass between the two towering peaks and come to the sky above Lake No. 1, a relative height of about 200 meters.

Strictly speaking, Lake No. 1 is a large pond formed by the topography of the upper reaches of the three rivers, and the area is very large, and it is formed by the water flow from the upper reaches. A large amount of water from the snow-capped mountains and its tributaries is accumulated here and then continues to flow eastward, like a reservoir with abundant water and its own pressure. It is usually mild, but it is a place to buffer the flow of water, but once the tipping point is exceeded, it becomes a source of disaster.

For example, a dam, in the eyes of some people, if it can stop the flood, it is a water conservancy project that benefits the country and the people, and if it can't be stopped, it is a super bomb.
