Chapter 531: Flying Training Across Day and Night
The setting sun in the west hid half of the body behind a few small hills on the west side of the base, and the temperature dropped very much, seeing that the south was already full of spring, but the shore of the Bohai Sea was still cold here, and it was extremely cold today.
Lao Chen Tou issued a supplementary order, requiring the pilots participating in the cross-day and night to wear jerseys. Such details will probably be paid special attention to by cadres who have worked in political work, and will be issued in the form of orders. Not to mention, if it weren't for this supplementary order, many pilots who participated in the go-around flight at night would have been going to wear a flight jacket, and too much clothing would always affect the action.
Many of Lao Lu's infantry were particularly fond of camouflage disarming rather than wearing combat boots. The smell of combat boots looks strong and powerful, but that thing is bulkier than camouflage rubber shoes, and the heat dissipation is not good, and the smell is very biochemical in summer. Especially the veterans stationed in the hilly and mountainous areas, I don't know how easy it is to run wild in the mountains with my legs in camouflage rubber shoes, but it would be good if you could run with combat boots.
However, there are many advantages of combat boots that camouflage rubber shoes cannot match, such as fireproof, stab-proof and heat insulation, which camouflage rubber shoes cannot do.
Seven or eight warhawks were lined up in the vaulted carry, and the various maintenance crews had completed their final inspection preparations, and were waiting for the arrival of the pilots in a neat line next to the warhawks. In the afterglow, the officers and soldiers and the war eagles are all in unison like sculptures.
The pilot detachment drove over, and Zhang Xueyang, as an assistant instructor, started in the command position with a flight helmet in his right hand, and issued a "one, two, one" adjustment command from time to time, and on his right side were two columns, and the pilots who participated in the day and night also swung back and forth with his right hand holding the flight helmet and his left hand 30 centimeters away from his body.
With a neat pace full of spirit, the Flying Shark training team is coming to us day and night.
"One goose, one goose, stand!" Zhang Xueyang stopped the team, then ran around the right side of the team with his left fist to his left hip, stood facing the parking shed, and then turned back to face the team, and gave the order, "Turn right!" Look to the right – Qi! Look forward! At ease! Let's talk about it! At ease! ”
After saluting the team, Zhang Xueyang gave a password to take a break and began to speak, "Comrades, today's resumption of flight, that is, across day and night, Mr. Chen is very confident in us and in our maintenance. I emphasize a few points! ”
The team is upright.
"Take a break!" Zhang Xueyang said solemnly, "This time, there will be no landing training for ships across the day and night, and all people, including the hidden ship test team, will be carried out in the form of conventional taxiing, take-off, and conventional taxiing. In order to enrich the content of the training, we arranged vigilance and eviction training, and each training team strictly followed the requirements. This time across the day and night to highlight two key points, first, the cooperation between the long wingman, the long plane must have the consciousness of the long machine, the wingman must have the responsibility of the wingman, and it is never allowed to break away from teammates. Second, vigilance and expulsion is our basic tactical subject, and it is also the most encountered form of combat in the future, and President Chen instructed all teams and every pilot to take it seriously, and not to look down on basic tactical subjects just because they are all people who will be on the ship soon. Having said that, going to sea with the ship to carry out tasks in the future is also a tactic that is likely to be used the most. ”
"Finally, I would like to remind you that the simulated Blue Army troops are conducting routine navigation training in the international shipping lanes of the Yellow Sea, and some of your teams may run into them, and they may also come to the door, and the Maritime Division will issue a temporary simulated confrontation order at any time according to the actual situation, which is to temper the troops' emergency response combat capabilities. The simulated blue army is an old opponent, they have a lot of experience, I believe that there are many people who have dealt with them, Mr. Chen asked that if we receive a temporary simulated confrontation mission, we must have a reasoned counterattack, neither can there be behavior beyond the rules of engagement nor let them press us to fight, understand? ”
"Got it!" The team's answer was earth-shattering.
Zhang Xueyang said, "The characteristics of flying across day and night are that the light is varied, from day to night, I won't say much about the hidden dangers, you are all old birds, at least there are more than 1,000 flight hours, I believe you can deal with it well." That's all I have to say, that's it! ”
The team is upright.
Zhang Xueyang gave an order: "Take a break, each team will take the acceptance plane!" ”
"The first group turns left!"
"The second group turns right!"
The team was divided into several teams and ran to the parking garage where their respective landlines were located to immediately carry out the acceptance of the aircraft, and the entire flight preparation was carried out in an orderly manner.
Hiding that the ship test team stayed in place, Zhang Xueyang walked in front of everyone and said to Li Zhan with a smile, "Lao Li, then you open five eight eight and I will open hole eight." ”
"No problem." Li Zhan said with a smile.
Zhang Xueyang rushed back non-stop, just to participate, across the day and night, he held back for several days, he naturally didn't care about the rod fee, but not flying, preferring to die is also his creed.
"You just ran back to Yu Officer, okay?" Cao Fufei asked with a smile.
Zhang Xueyang was very happy, looked at you left and right, and said in a suppressed voice, "It's basically taken." ”
Hearing this, Li Zhan, Cao Fufei, and Tang Leilei glanced at each other and gave a thumbs up, if you don't admire, it's only been a few days!
Zhang Xueyang wanted to refamiliarize himself with the J-11A, so he changed hands with Li Zhan and asked Li Zhan to drive the No. 588 J-15 and he to drive the 08 good J-11A.
Putting away his smiling face, Zhang Xueyang said solemnly, "Mr. Chen judged that Hai Si would definitely issue a temporary simulated confrontation task, and he handed over this task to you and Tang Leilei." ”
Li Zhan's brows jumped sharply, and the battle cells all over his body became active, "I completely understand." ”
"Lao Cao and I will always cover you on the periphery and provide support at any time, but what Mr. Chen means is that I hope you can complete the task alone. According to Haisi's usual practice, the temporary simulated confrontation is usually a two-plane formation confrontation. In order to ensure that there is enough time to stay in the air, all four of our planes took off with full fuel, and the J-11A each brought two empty bombs, Lao Li, your 588 fire control function has not yet been opened, so you only bring aviation guns. Zhang Xueyang explained carefully.
Li Zhan nodded slowly, "You can't use empty bullets for vigilance and expulsion, it's enough to have aerial artillery." ”
Zhang Xueyang took the trouble to explain again, "Lao Li, after the temporary simulated confrontation task was issued, you were the main one, and you had the most experience in fighting with the simulated blue army many times. ”
"Last time I conducted a test flight of the J-16 and met a simulated Blue Army task force in the southern part of the South China Sea?"
"That's right. They are the ones who train navigation on international waterways. You've got to do it, don't let the mock Blue Army command talk about the slow progress of training on our side of the Red Army all day long. However, their progress is indeed fast, a few years ago there were more than a dozen old aircraft simulated Blue Army aviation units, and now they are simply full fleet simulations. ”
Li Zhan smiled, "If you have money, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Unfold." Zhang Xueyang ordered.
Everyone quickly made their way to their respective planes.
After Li Zhan accepted the plane, he boarded the plane, put the combat flight handbag on his thigh, took out a SLR from the inside, and fixed it on the side of his right thigh, and then put the combat handbag on the fixed frame behind the seat, and the mechanic helped fix it. If needed, the pilot only needs to reach back and pull the drawstring to pull the combat flight handbag to the front.
He then adjusted the chart strapped to his left thigh, pulled out his pencil to confirm the training route again, put the pen away, and nodded to the mechanic.
The mechanic quickly evacuated, the boarding ladder was evacuated, Li Zhan tightened the white labor protection gloves on his hands, closed the cockpit cover, habitually looked to the right, raised his right hand and saluted, the signalman was slightly stunned, raised the green signal flag and issued a command that it could slide out.
Saluting before taxiing out is a habit of the Air Force, and here in the Flying Shark, the meaning of the pilot's salute to the ground crew is very important - it means that the pilot is ready for takeoff, which is a very important signal. After the ground crew completes all the pre-takeoff preparations, it sends a signal to the take-off controller, and at this time it cannot take off, but must wait until the pilot sends a signal of "ready to take off", which is the pilot salutes the ground crew.
No. 588 J-15 taxied out and was at the end of the take-off queue. He and the other three fighters of the hidden ship test group were all at the end of the take-off queue in order to retain the maximum time in the air. In addition to their four fighters, there are also four J-15s (the one recently delivered by the manufacturer for official training missions). All eight fighters were dispatched day and night, and it was also a major operation to report to the Maritime Division for approval of the headquarters for the record.
The actual preparations were carried out a few days ago, and every step was carried out in strict accordance with the regulations.
With the order of the tower, the fighters took off one after another, roaring into the winter dusk sky, the setting sun gilded the war eagles and pilots with a layer of golden yellow, so that the tower ordered all the planes to turn clockwise to the southeast to avoid the still dazzling sunset.
Li Zhan took off in the finale, and in a full tank state, he climbed vertically with a crisp afterburner and pierced the sky, climbing to a sea height of 4,000 meters in a very short time. As his wingman, Tang Leilei first followed the large army to the southeast to carry out a regular flight, and after entering the sky above the exclusive economic zone, he rose to an altitude of 4,500 meters according to the instructions and carried out a vigilant patrol flight in front of Li Zhan.
There was a "drop" in the headset, and Shi Moying spoke: "Pay attention to the training team, you have entered the first air defense identification zone, repeat, you have entered the first air defense identification zone!" Alert eviction training begins, and each group starts training! ”
"First group received!"
"Second group received!"
"The third group received!"
……
After several training groups confirmed the order, the large formations were disbanded and trained separately.
The air defense identification zone is an airspace unilaterally demarcated by our military based on the needs of national defense and air defense, which is different from the civil aviation flight information region, and its main purpose is to provide more air defense early warning time and create more effective conditions for early detection, identification, and interception. The specific operation is usually the military to verify and identify the aircraft in the airspace, and any aircraft flying through the airspace must cooperate with the military's verification and identification.
Otherwise, the fighters on regular alert training will not be vegetarians.
After the Flying Shark detachment took off and flew south for 30 minutes, it entered the first air defense identification zone, so this was the best airspace for them to conduct vigilance and expulsion training.
Li Zhan carried out routine flights in the airspace on the north side of the outer periphery of the First Air Defense Identification Zone as planned, mainly to make some routine maneuvers as required, so as to re-familiarize the fighters with the situation and re-familiarize the fighters. When the fuel is full, Li Zhan actually can't do much maneuvering, and he is afraid to roll over, let alone do a big overload maneuver. He was about to do a negative gravitational dive, but found that the fuselage was shaking so badly that he gave up.
The J-15, like the J-11 series fighters, generally only uses the fuel tank in the fuselage, which can already give the fighter a combat radius of seven or eight hundred kilometers. In order to obtain a maximum combat radius of 1,500 km, the J-15 must be fully fueled. At the same time, full fuel means that it cannot be fully loaded, but the on-board radar system of several J-15s does not have fire control function, so even if it brings air-to-air missiles, it can't be hit, and it is not as good as the aerial gun.
In fact, everyone was reluctant to bring live ammunition, because they knew that they would definitely not be able to fight, so they had to bring the bombs back to the sea. None of them want to land with bombs. It is impossible to throw it away, and our army will never let the pilots throw away the live ammunition, and they cannot be knocked out casually, so they can only be taken back and re-stored in the warehouse.
So Li Zhan is easier than everyone else - let you bring empty ammunition, pretending to be forced is to pay the price!
After the various training groups entered the first air defense identification zone to conduct training, the airspace immediately became lively, and all kinds of radars swept into the sky that suddenly appeared in the sky with several fighters that had no intention of hiding their tracks.
However, the ships passing through the sea area have long been accustomed to it, and the overhead is a key training area for the HNA airline, and it is strange that there are no fighter jets.
After Li Zhan made a few regular flight maneuvers, he was ordered to cruise at high altitude, and he cruised in the cracks of the international route, patiently waiting for the order of the big finger. The command and communication radius of the tower is usually 150 kilometers, and beyond this distance, it must be commanded by the ground command post.
Naval aircraft are also under the control of the Air Force command post.
The status of the second brother of the Air Force can be seen.
Obviously, the current command mechanism is problematic, and in this regard, the emergence of the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center and the Beiku Air Defense Base is a very meaningful and clear attempt. Speaking of which, we have to attribute a considerable part of the credit to Li Zhan, especially the most important tactical intelligence interaction center, without which the air defense base would have achieved a flat command over the troops.
Old Chen stole a trick.
What is a temporary simulated confrontation exercise, since it is temporary, then the other side should not be prepared. But Lao Chen obviously asked Li Zhan to stand by at a high altitude, and as soon as Hai Si's order arrived, he immediately killed him and engaged in confrontation drills. This is to be prepared, and the significance of Haiji's sudden spot check has been somewhat discounted.
However, there are difficulties at the grassroots level, and Haiji will not pursue it even if he knows about it.
