The fully loaded Cheetah 2030A off-road galloped on the desert combat readiness highway, and Li Zhan, who was on the co-pilot, pointed to the dirt road heading west in front and said to Pei Lei, "Take a shortcut and rush back to the station before dark." ”

"Yes!"

Pei Lei plunged into the unpaved dirt road at the fork in front, and the cheetah off-road vehicle suddenly raised bursts of dust, and the good suspension kept the vehicle's posture stable, and continued to rush at a gallop.

Looking back at the four people in the back row and the third row, Li Zhan threw a pack of cigarettes into Nie Jianfeng's hand, "Old Nie, smoke it for the brothers, you can't smoke it if you want to smoke it when you get to the station." ”

Nie Jianfeng took the cigarette and handed them over one by one, "Deputy Head Lin, Liu Xiao, Xiao Tang, come, smoke a cigarette of Team Leader Li." ”

Lin Haodong, deputy commander of the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division, Liu Xiao, captain of the 7th Brigade, Tang Leilei, captain of the 1st Squadron of the 9th Brigade, and Nie Jianfeng, captain of the 9th Brigade, formed a flight instructor group sent by the 2nd Division.

At this time, Li Zhan took the car to Beiku Airport to pick them up on the way back to Beikuchang Station. The flight was delayed by more than an hour, making it difficult to get back to the station before dark without taking a shortcut. There was a night flight training tonight, and Li Zhan didn't want to miss it, so he asked Pei Lei to take a shortcut and speed up at the same time.

Li Zhan has a stomach full of questions about the establishment and position changes of Nie Jianfeng's old comrades-in-arms, but he is not good at asking in front of Lin Haodong, and there are some things that are difficult to talk about. However, Li Zhan realized that there had been great changes within the Second Division, could it be that some of the legendary reform actions had begun to be carried out? In peacetime, the training tasks are heavy, don't look at the military system, and it is rare to have the opportunity to talk on the phone if you happen to have a free call, so Li Zhan does not know the situation of the Second Division.

chatting along the way, it has been a year since I left the Second Division, and the last time I received the J-7E, I hurriedly met Yu Chenglin, Tang Leilei and other old brothers of the Fourth Regiment and was called to the military region for a meeting, and there was no chance to say a word, and now the best old comrades-in-arms have arrived, so naturally there are endless words.

Last time, the Sixth Regiment went to Dongkuchang Station for training, Nie Jianfeng and Tang Leilei did not participate, so Li Zhan did not know that they had been transferred to the Sixth Regiment. Lin Haodong and Liu Xiao participated, and they were also taught a hard lesson by Li Zhan, especially when Li Zhan drove the J-6 Plus into the air alone and fought Qi Hong with a fearless spirit, which shocked them too much. They all flew fighter jets, and they knew very well what Li Zhan's actions meant. Therefore, they refreshed their impression of the tattered king division - although the equipment is old, they have an absolutely stronger will to fight than the opponent!

Stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun and returning to the station, Li Zhan ran forward and backwards to settle the flight instructor group, and invited Han Bo, the deputy head of the aircraft maintenance, to come over and take charge of the reception, and said to them, "Deputy head Lin, I still have a training mission at night, so I can't dine with you." ”

"Li Zhan, don't be polite to your own people, busy with your going, there will be time in the future." Lin Haodong returned the salute and patted Li Zhan on the shoulder.

Nie Jianfeng said to Li Zhan, "It's okay left and right, I'll go with you to take a look." ”

"I'll go too." Tang Leilei quickly put down his rolled up sleeves and sorted out his clothes.

Li Zhan said with a smile, "Okay, visit our night flight training." I don't fly, I command from the tower. ”

The brothers and sisters left together.

When he arrived at the tower, Li Zhan confirmed that the preparations were completed, Pei Lei also came over with a woven basket, there was a small lounge next to the command room, there was a marching bed, a coffee table and a sofa, he took out the meals that were well packed in the lunch box from the woven basket and arranged them on the coffee table like a queue, and then placed the chopsticks corresponding to the seat, picked up the ceramic bowl and carefully served the rice, carefully flattened it with a rice spoon, and placed it on the left side of the chopsticks. Ensuring that it was a neat line and surface from any angle, he put his mind at ease and hurriedly went to the tower command room to report to Li Zhan that he could have dinner.

The staff on duty eat and rest all in the control tower, the commander and deputy commander use this small lounge, and the others use the large lounge diagonally opposite each other. Therefore, if some young junior officers are fortunate enough to serve as deputy commanders or something, they can enjoy the general treatment of regimental leaders when they are on duty at the tower.

Li Zhan walked in with Nie Jianfeng and Tang Leilei, beckoned everyone to sit down, pointed at Pei Lei and said, "Xiao Pei, you also sit down and eat together." ”

"Chief, I'll eat in the cooking class." Pei Lei hurriedly said.

At this time, it was already early to eat, and if you wanted to eat, you could only get together with the cooking class, which usually ate after the support troops had eaten.

"Sit down and eat." Li Zhan said undoubtedly.

Pei Lei stood upright, "Yes!" ”

Only then did he understand why the captain was obviously three people and insisted on letting four people measure four pairs of chopsticks, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved, Pei Lei, a honest and honest rural boy, couldn't wait to spill blood on Captain Li's head.

Pick up the rice bowl and eat it, and this is the time to say something considerate.

"Lao Nie, tell me about the situation, why did you become a double-haired man?" Li Zhan asked.

Nie Jianfeng swallowed the rice in his mouth, put down the rice bowl, picked up the tea and took a sip, and said, "It's changed a lot, I'll tell you slowly, first talk about me and Xiao Tang." No one knows the day you left, and by the time I knew, you had already arrived in Beiku. Later, I participated in the selection of the Flying Shark training team, and unfortunately, my buddy was not selected. At this time, our regiment has already begun to modify the J-10, and I was originally going to modify the J-10 after I returned. The division headquarters ordered several people from our fourth regiment to supplement the sixth regiment. The modification of the 6th Regiment to the J-11B was mainly due to the increase in the number of fighters and the shortage of manpower. A few of us added it and modified the Su 27, and the 6th Regiment also left a two-seat Su 27 in relatively good condition of the squadron, which coped with the joint of changing the second-generation aircraft to the third-generation aircraft before the J-11B two-seat entered service. Tang Leilei and I became the drivers of these old guys. ”

Nie Jianfeng had participated in the selection of the Flying Shark training team, and he must have received training in the modification of Shen Huoyi's fighter, so it is not surprising that he can become a flight instructor of the SU-27 in just a few months.

What is surprising is that Tang Leilei, in just one year, the J-7E modified the SU-27, and also has the ability of a flight instructor. This baby-faced Air Force lieutenant with two small dimples when he laughed at the same time as Li Zhan also seemed to have a great talent for flying.

Nie Jianfeng continued, "The four regiments have also changed a lot, the head of Tang Guozheng has been transferred, and the deputy head of Yu Chenglin has become the head of the regiment, and it only took half a year for our old comrades-in-arms to gnaw down the Jianten, and now it has formed combat effectiveness." On the contrary, the situation of the Fifth Regiment was the worst, and they were equipped with several improved Jianshen 8 planes and took on part of the tactical reconnaissance mission, but after all, they were second-generation aircraft, and the trolley fee was much worse, and they were all resentful in their hearts. ”

When he said the last sentence, he couldn't help laughing, "Lao Li, the legend of your little prince is still circulating in the second division, and I heard that you also quickly beat your name out here." ”

"No, no, don't you know who I am, if it's really for money, I applied for a job change and went back to the place to drive a passenger plane a year ago." Li Zhan hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Tang Leilei smiled, "First brother, don't be modest." ”

"Am I being humble, this is a grievance." Li Zhan said, and hurriedly changed the topic, "After saying this, you will open a series of eleven annihilations." ”

Nie Jianfeng said solemnly, "Yes, the division has made it clear that in the future, heavy fighters will be the mainstay, after all, the area under the responsibility of the second division has three million square kilometers of maritime territory, and heavy long-range fighters are the most suitable equipment." ”

He paused and glanced at Pei Lei.

Li Zhan said, "Don't worry, Xiao Pei did it with me, and he is absolutely reliable in politics and has a strong sense of confidentiality." ”

"Lao Li, let me reveal you a message." Nie Jianfeng said in a deep voice, "When I participated in the selection of the Flying Shark training team, I heard from the people of HNA that in a few years the second division will be equipped with the Su-35, which is the fighter that represents the highest level of the third-generation and a half fighters that I discussed with you before. ”

Li Zhan frowned at first, then slapped his thigh, and forgot to put down his rice bowl, "Lonely warrior!" Sure? Shall we really buy it? Determine the first to be equipped with the second division? ”

"I heard that the contract was signed a long time ago, and the delay in delivery is because we have put forward a lot of suggestions for improvement, and their avionics system is not as good as ours, so I don't know what the situation is now." Nie Jianfeng said, "The people of HNA said that their HNA and our air aviation are fighting for blood, and their reasons are also very good, and the 8th Navy Division on the poor island is also very suitable for equipping Su 35 in all aspects." However, it is a pity that in terms of introducing fighters, our air force still has the heaviest right to speak, and the leaders believe that the navy should focus on carrier-based aircraft units. ”

Li Zhan shook his head and said, "The reason behind is the point, but no matter how much they fight, they can't compete with our air force." Even a piece of paper flying in the sky belongs to our air force, and their HNA is no exception. ”

After sighing a few times, Li Zhan sighed and said, "The key construction troops are good, this Jianxi Jianten, it will only be modified, and the above will arrange the things in advance for the next few years." Hey, wait, if you say that, the one with the best chance to drive the Su Sanwu first is the Fifth Regiment. ”

Nie Jianfeng sighed and said, "Yes, it must be them." Therefore, there is resentment, and it has been so many years, and when Su Sanwu is in place, they will be the number one main force, and the trolley fee is definitely the highest. ”

When he said the last sentence, he looked at Li Zhan meaningfully.

"If they wait for seven or eight years, it is estimated that they will definitely regret that it is better to modify the J-11 earlier. Since the improvement requirements have been put forward, it is not three or two years to be able to exchange fire, with Maozi's way of life, they can be pitted, and they will not compromise easily. Li Zhan said with a smile, suddenly thinking of Nie Jianfeng's meaningful smile, and immediately said with disdain, "Why don't you leave the rod fee, and you won't train without the rod fee?" ”

"Huh." Nie Jianfeng smiled dryly.

"Yes, who was selected for the Flying Shark training team?" Li Zhan asked.

Nie Jianfeng replied, "There is only Zhang Xueyang in the second division. ”

Li Zhan frowned, "Is it really just him?" Is it really that strict? ”

"You want to ask Chen Fei, he also lost the election, and he was brushed down in the last round. He was able to drive Shen Huoyi, and the division also planned to transfer him to the sixth regiment, but Commander Tang was still there at that time, and he pushed him back. It's not bad now, I was promoted to chief of staff last month, and I have a bright future. Nie Jianfeng said, carefully observing the changes in Li Zhan's expression.

At the beginning, Li Zhan was transferred from the Second Division and Chen Fei was directly related, but except for Fang Chenghe, Qi Hong and Chen Fei himself, no one knew what was going on inside. According to the news from the division headquarters, Chen Fei left Qi Hong's office with his front foot, and Qi Hong immediately called Li Zhan and sent Li Zhan away early the next morning.

Nie Jianfeng sighed and said with a smile, "Chen Fei, he is different from us old brothers now, and people will come to mix things well." ”

Waving his hand, Li Zhan said, "Don't talk about him." What is the situation of this Flying Shark training team, is it so strict? The second master was selected alone? ”

With a bitter smile, Nie Jianfeng said, "It's just that I was selected, and it is still unknown whether I can be incorporated into the first carrier-based fighter unit in the end." To put it bluntly, if you fail to pass any of the next links, go back to the original unit directly, and there is no mercy to talk about. ”

Li Zhan was stunned, as if talking to himself, "So the Flying Shark training team represents the pinnacle level of our army's aviation unit." ”

"There is no doubt about it." Nie Jianfeng said solemnly, "How many pilots are there in the whole army, and there are only a dozen people selected in the end, and the whole process is also eliminated." Do you know how many faculty members there are, just one instructor. Do you know how many people assist the instructors, there are more than 200 people, and 70 percent are technical experts. At that time, as soon as I saw a bunch of colonels and colonels, and a bunch of experts at the deputy military level, I was stupid, you know? ”

Nie Jianfeng didn't seem to be able to fully recover from the initial shock, and said with emotion, "Do you know what the first sentence the instructor said to us. This is where pilots who are trained to take off and land on a knife edge. Take off and land on the edge of a knife, you can imagine what the concept is. Those of us who consider ourselves to be the top of the various units have only one feeling when we get over there - we don't know how to fly a plane at all! ”

"Exaggerated, huh?" Li Zhan was skeptical, "No matter how small the flight deck of the aircraft carrier is, it has a take-off and landing distance of 200 meters." It was you who were scared. This flight is like that, without strong self-confidence, nature will slaughter it. ”

"Hmph, you cow, there will definitely be a second issue, you sign up to try it, and then come and talk to me about it when you have tried." Nie Jianfeng said angrily, picked up his rice bowl and continued to eat.

Tang Leilei finally found an opportunity to speak, and said, "First brother, the flying shark training camp is really strict. I heard that there are also transport planes to participate in the selection, and guess why, because the people in the fighter unit who should be selected have been selected once, and there is really no one. ”

"I don't believe it yet." Li Zhan snorted coldly.

Give 2,000 yuan an hour for the tie fee, you see how hard I train!
