If you want live ammunition, you must report it to the military region, and at the same time report it to the air department for the record, and after you have finished it, all the materials, including the shooting film, must be sorted out and submitted, how many shots were fired, where, and so on.

It's not like you can fight if you want to.

Fortunately, the Second Division is a unit that often encounters various air conditions, and the military region and the air division responded quickly and got approval, and Fang Chenghe also came to the tower. If you want to use live ammunition, it is not enough to have a deputy regiment-level Yu Chenglin, you must be at or above the deputy division level.

"Hole three turns, report the target's situation." Of course, Fang Chenghe didn't let him sit in the position of the commander, and dragged the microphone to call Li Zhan.

Li Zhan replied, "The target is floating over the town, and there are no conditions that can cause ground losses on visual inspection, and the conditions for shooting are ripe." ”

"Let's make sure again, it must not have an impact on the township." Fang Chenghe ordered.

"Understood!"

Li Zhan slowed down slightly and got closer, taking a closer look at the Balloon Youzai. In fact, it is an ordinary hydrogen balloon, but it is a little larger, and the hanging banner is buoyant in the air, even if it falls, the wooden sticks at both ends will not cause harm to people and objects on the ground.

Besides, I don't know where I'm going.

At this time, Lin Haodong couldn't help but remind, "The shock wave of the hydrogen balloon explosion is not small, and you must grasp the distance when shooting." ”

Yu Chenglin glanced at Lin Haodong, "A few hundred meters away from the shock wave can still overturn the plane." ”

smiled, Lin Haodong didn't feel embarrassed, he shut up, he just wanted to have a sense of presence in front of the chief of staff.

Fang Chenghe's attention was obviously not on the two deputy regiment commanders who were fighting openly and secretly, he stared at the radar display screen, the transmitter was on his lips, and said, "The hole is three corners, and the conditions are ripe to shoot." ”

"Understood."

Li Zhan trembled.

It is easier to hit a balloon than to hit a target, the target is dragged by an airplane, and there are preconditions for simulating enemy planes in motion, and the balloon is relatively stationary, even if there is speed, that speed will not form a difficult precondition. But the feeling at this time is completely different. Probably because this is the reason for the empty situation, right?

He turned to the side of the fuselage and looked over to the ground.

At this time, the height is very low, and you can clearly see a small cloud of red in a certain part of the ground town, which should be the red carpet laid at the wedding banquet site, and the area is slightly larger than the regular ground target.

When the nose is pointing at the balloon, his position is already on the inside of the town, and the nose is pointing to the outside of the town, and the height is lower than the balloon. The purpose of this is to ensure that the warhead does not fall into the town, and the balloon is lower than the balloon to create an angled upward firing angle, as well as to avoid the warhead falling into the town.

"Tower, I'm ready to shoot."

After Li Zhan made a report, he aimed at the balloon in an oblique upward posture to the outside of the town, opened the lid of the launch button, and hung it on the aiming panel above the head-up display in the middle of the instrument panel like an installed cottage navigator.

Fighter No. 037 trembled, and the 30-millimeter cannon shot out, easily piercing the balloon. Even if it doesn't hit directly, the proximity of the bombhead will make the balloon disappear completely.

The balloon was popped and exploded in front of him.

Decisively pushing the throttle stick, restoring the angle of the leading edge of the maneuvering flap and the main flap, slightly pressing the operating lever, the fighter resumed level flight from an oblique upward climbing attitude, and after an elegant 180-degree turn, it was confirmed that the target had been destroyed, and the red banner was slowly drifting down to a forest on the ground.

The sound of shooting attracted the attention of the people eating the banquet on the ground, because the altitude was not high, and some people even saw a glimmer of fire coming out of the cannon when the fighter plane opened fire on the balloon. Just when everyone was amazed, they not only saw the floating balloon being popped, but also saw the banner falling into the woods outside the town. Several young people stepped on the motorcycle, twisted the accelerator, and excitedly rushed in the direction where the banner fell.

Li Zhan couldn't see these details.

"Tower, the target is gone, it's over." Li was excited, but he didn't have the irrepressible excitement of the first shot of Xinfei that everyone imagined.

"Homecoming!" Fang Chenghe breathed a sigh of relief and decisively gave the order.

"Understood."

Li Zhan flew back, leaving only a chic little spot for the people in the town who looked up and saluted.

At this time, the tower breathed a sigh of relief, even if it was just a balloon, but because there was a suspicious order in front of the empty situation, everyone's psychological feelings were completely different. This time, no one will think of Li Zhan's new pilot label first.

Well done.

The old bird is nothing more than that.

The weatherman took off his headphones in a panic, turned his head and reported to Fang Chenghe, "Chief, there is thunder and lightning rain in this field, coming from the east!" ”

Hearing this, Fang Chenghe immediately stood up and walked behind the meteorologist. Yu Chenglin immediately took over Fang Chenghe's command, because at this time, the group of planes that had finished training was lining up to land. Lin Haodong's heart suddenly lifted and followed closely. What are you really afraid of, isn't this kind of weather what planes are most afraid of? If you don't come sooner or later, you just come at this time. There are still two planes in the sky of the six regiments.

However, the tower did not panic, because it was too familiar with the temperament of the weather in West County.

"How much window time?" Fang Chenghe asked the weatherman directly.

The weatherman is not a soldier, but an officer who has graduated from a professional military academy, a major, and has been stationed in the field for five years. The sudden change in the weather that can make him panic can be imagined.

"The clouds are moving fast, and the accompanying wind is already beyond the allowable value, so we only have ten minutes at most." The major meteorologist gave the answer with a very certain certainty.

Fang Chenghe immediately turned his head and ordered Yu Chenglin, "Speed up!" ”

"Yes!"

There is a plan.

Yu Chenglin immediately reported the situation to the training formation that was still in the sky, and at this time, a batch of two planes from the fourth regiment had landed, and a batch of two planes from the sixth regiment were lining up to enter the landing route.

The pilot in the sky could see more clearly, and Zhang Xueyang, who was sitting in the back cabin and had taken over the control, reported to the tower, "Most of the county is gone, there is a lot of lightning, the clouds move very fast, and the rain is very heavy. ”

"Two holes and nines, you land second." Yu Chenglin did not hesitate to put Zhang Xueyang in second place, and let another SU-27 two-seater land first.

Zhang Xueyang was very calm, "Two holes and nine received." ”

All the movements are much faster than before, the control of the aircraft is all taken over by the instructor in the rear cabin, and the new pilots in the front cabin can do nothing but beat their hearts faster, and those who can calm down will take the opportunity to learn the instructor's emergency landing maneuvers.

"Chief, it's too late for Dong San to return to the field, you see, this area is the place where thunder and lightning are most concentrated, and it has begun to cover the field." As soon as the major weatherman's words fell, everyone in the tower suddenly felt several white lights flash in front of them, and a few seconds later, the thunder like a heavy hammer and a drum in their ears suddenly appeared, and everyone's hearts trembled.

You don't need to look at any weather maps, just look outside.

It had only been a few minutes, and the sky over the station had been covered by black clouds. There was lightning in the clouds, and the thunder rumbled and rolled like a heavy train passing in the sky. Another flash of lightning flashed through it, and it was a thunderbolt that made people's hearts tremble.

Zhang Xueyang drove the SU-27 two-seater worth more than 100 million yuan and landed safely, and the raised speed brake made the SU-27, which was full of power, look even more like a boxer who can strike at any time. The background of the fighter plane is dark clouds and lightning, like a warrior who has been fighting for a long time and returns safely before enemy reinforcements arrive. The propaganda officer squatting at the tower raised his SLR and looked at the more than a dozen photos that clicked in the past, and smiled with satisfaction until he grinned.

Fighter No. 037 is still swaying in the wind and rain.

After a J-7 and a J-7E that landed before returned to the parking position, Chen Fei looked into the sky with his helmet between his helmets and asked Nie Jianfeng, who ran over, "It's Li Zhan on duty?" This guy wasn't lucky. ”

"It's him." Nie Jianfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

There are two channels used for combat readiness duty and training, so they can't hear the conversation between Li Zhan and the tower. After landing, he immediately learned about the situation from the mechanic, and at this time, he happened to see Zhang Xueyang landing calmly, followed by heavy rain.

"What can I do?" The other is Tang Leilei, who followed Chen Fei to practice air targets today. When he was in the sky, he saw the large black clouds rushing towards him at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and he could think of the night when the castles of Europe were thunder and lightning, and it was terrifying.

"Alternate landing, this kind of weather can't be lowered by the gods, look at the lightning, remember, this is the flight forbidden area." Chen Fei pointed to the lightning raging over the station and the rain that fell irritably.

Nie Jianfeng furrowed his brows, "I can only land in Guixi, and I can't fly to eastern Guangdong." ”

He made a decision all at once, "I'll go to the tower and have a look." ”

"I'll go with you." Chen Fei immediately said, and then pointed at Tang Leilei, "Go back, summarize today's training, and experience more movements." ”

"I ...... Be! ”

The commuter car came over, took Nie Jianfeng and Chen Fei away first, Tang Leilei stood in place and waited for the second unit, looked at the J-7 that could only be nested in the semi-enclosed parking shed, and then looked at the permanent machine fort dedicated to the SU-27 on the side of the Sixth Regiment, and his mood was also very complicated.

Li Zhan in the sky was not surprised at all, and even because of the location, he discovered the sudden change in the weather earlier than Zhang Xueyang and others. What's more, as a native-born local, he may know better than anyone the temperament of the summer weather in West County.

"Dong Sangui, there are no conditions in this field, implement the diversion plan, understand?" Fang Chenghe personally gave instructions to Li Zhan.

This was the time after the loud thunder that had just passed.

It was also at this time that Li Zhan flew from the western edge of the clouds above the field station, and he happened to be able to be seen by the tower.

"Dong Sangui received, implement the diversion plan." Li Zhan replied decisively that he would not be a hero and did not want to be a hero. Life is important, and fighters are equally important.

However, Yu Chenglin, who had been using a telescope to continuously observe the No. 037 fighter through the gaps in the clouds, found a trace of unusual fire when the fighter flashed through the gaps!

"His engine seems to be on fire!" Yu Chenglin said suddenly.

This sentence made everyone's hearts jump to their throats, and they looked out subconsciously in amazement, but they couldn't see Fighter 037 at all.

Fang Chenghe was taken aback, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately called Li Zhan, "Dong Sangui, report the status, is everything normal?" What's going on with the engine? ”

In the thunderstorm, the electromagnetic interference became more serious, accompanied by the sound of "sizzling", Li Zhan, who quickly checked the status of each system, replied, "Everything is normal, the engine is normal, no problem." Commencement of the implementation of the diversion programme. ”

All the data is normal.

Fang Chenghe breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "Pay attention to observation and report in time." ”

"Understood!"

Lin Haodong smiled silently, and said to Cheng Lin in a low voice, "Old Yu, you are too nervous. ”

Yu Chenglin furrowed his brows and didn't speak, still looking at the western sky.

Thick dark clouds completely covered the sky over the station, and there was a natural phenomenon of day and night.
