Chapter 224: Elephant Walk of Fifty-Seven Fighters
"Isn't this an effort, I've been waiting for more than ten years, how long have you waited. The young man calmed down. Xue Xiangdong said calmly.
Li Zhan said, "I can hold my breath, but the unicorn arm won't agree." Regiment leader, let's be honest, how long do you think this batch of old man Su Liangqi will last? ”
Xue Xiangdong was asked.
Li Zhan sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "It has been less than two months since the installation, and Cong Dawei told me that the engine life of many fighters is declining sharply, and we are using it too hard, and I am very worried about the situation of a large area lying on the ground." ”
"It must be avoided." Xue Xiangdong said solemnly, "Our regiment is already a combat readiness duty regiment of the Air Force of the Military Region, and the attendance rate of the fighters must be guaranteed. ”
Li Zhan said solemnly, "Yes, that's why I came leisurely." ”
"Is this a leisurely coming? If you don't come leisurely, how are you going to use it? Xue Xiangdong frowned and said.
"Fly, Fly, Fly......"
"Stop, stop, don't sing me the song of the Aviation." Xue Xiangdong was irritated for a while and waved his hand to interrupt.
The Y-9 landed slowly, kicked up a puff of smoke, taxied along the runway to the north, and then drove off the runway to the tarmac. Immediately afterwards, the second Y-9 also landed, also taxiing in this direction.
Li Zhan took a serious look at this new tactical transport aircraft and made some interesting discoveries. There is a shadow of the Y-8, and there are also some styles of the C-130, which is more like a new model developed on the basis of these two world-famous medium-sized transport aircraft.
It's not more like it, it's just that.
The blades are completely different, indicating the use of a new engine, the aerodynamic shape is much smoother, and some slight bulges in the belly of the back indicate that the avionics system of this type of tactical transport aircraft is very advanced. The half-old of the Y-8 are the early models of the J-7 in the transport aircraft, and the avionics system is so bad that the early batch has no avionics......
For those who are used to flying airplanes, whether it is a good plane or not, at a glance, you basically have a rough judgment in your heart.
This is a pretty good tactical transport aircraft.
After meeting, Li Zhan looked at Wang Shigui's crew, who were all wearing new flight suits, and took the initiative to say, "Deputy Division Commander Wang, we met again, last year's Sanhe flood fight, Longcheng Airport, I was the commander of the tower." ”
"Are you Li Zhan?" Wang Shigui was surprised, and then surprised, and saluted Li Zhan in front of his soldiers, and Li Zhan hurriedly returned the salute.
"Li Zhan, well, Li Zhan who made a forced landing at the Vientiane City Airport." Wang Shigui turned around to introduce the other members of the crew, and everyone saluted Li Zhan in awe.
Li Zhan hurriedly returned the salute, Wang Shigui's crew member has the lowest rank of major, and Wang Shigui is already the colonel's deputy division commander, it is estimated that becoming a regular division is a matter of the past two years, and he is only in his forties.
Wang Shigui said: "At that time, Comrade Li Zhan went to the upper reaches of the Three Rivers twice to carry out bombing and flood discharge missions under extremely bad weather, and when he returned to the flight, the cockpit canopy fell off, and he was at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and it was in the mountainous area. If you are one minute late, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Obviously, Wang Shigui often told his soldiers about the deed, and the crew members could still feel the shock when they heard it again. As far as the pilots are concerned, the tasks and dangers that Li Zhan performed and encountered during the flood control in the Three Rivers were unprecedented, and he was completely able to rank among the top dangers in the world -- the occurrence of a plane crash was equivalent to a plane crash.
"Deputy Division Commander Wang, it's all in the past, I'm just lucky." Li Zhan hurriedly said.
Xue Xiangdong said, "Deputy Division Commander Wang, please get in the car, let's have a meeting immediately after we settle down." ”
"Okay, the troops get on the car, and the maintenance will be overhauled immediately after a hard time." Wang Shigui immediately gave the order.
They brought their own maintenance and simple support equipment, and they were shipped over directly......
After settling down, a small meeting was held in the conference room of the organ building of the regiment headquarters, and Xue Xiangdong, Li Zhan and Wang Shigui were just three people.
Li Zhan always had questions, why did Wang Shigui use United Airlines' wireless call sign? It was obviously an air force combat unit, and the tactical number was not wrong, and it belonged to a certain transport aircraft division stationed in central Shaanxi. Wang Shigui didn't explain, and it is estimated that he won't explain, so it is impossible for Li Zhan to take the initiative to ask.
took three white ceramic office teacups, put in the tea leaves in turn, picked up the boiling kettle and poured boiling water into it to two-thirds of the way, covered the cup, picked up a cup with both hands and sent it to Wang Shigui, turned back and took a cup to Xue Xiangdong with one hand and kept a cup for himself.
Wang Shigui nodded slightly, quite satisfied.
"Some people say that Comrade Li Zhan's flying style is rude and his flight language is rude, which seems to be a one-sided view, and Comrade Li Zhan is clearly a meticulous comrade." Wang Shigui smiled and praised Li Zhan.
Li Zhan smiled and said, "Some comrades in individual units have misunderstood me, and most of them understand the situation. I have never forgotten the mission of the soldiers, worked diligently, studied hard, carried forward the dedication of the revolutionary soldiers, and made a strong contribution to the building of a strong people's air force. ”
The corners of Xue Xiangdong's mouth twitched, and he increased his forehead with his hand.
"Well said! To be honest, there is a shortage of cadres like Li Zhan right now. In our transport pilots, the loss of outstanding cadres is probably the most serious among the aviation units. Wang Shigui said worriedly, "At the end of the year, there are a bunch of job transfer applications, and what is even more excessive is that the people of the airline live directly in the resident city, and run to our station through the relationship between the relevant local departments in three days." For what, it is to poach people and poach all our good pilots. The talents we have spent so many resources cultivating have been poached one by one. Those who fly transport planes can go directly to their posts after a little adaptation training, and local airlines have made great efforts, but our troops have lost valuable talent. ”
Sighing deeply, Wang Shigui looked at Li Zhan with admiration, and said to Xue Xiangdong, "Commander Xue, you have an excellent cadre like Comrade Li Zhan who doesn't value material, I envy you very much!" ”
"Ahem, Deputy Division Commander Wang, why don't we discuss the discussion plan first. The chief will be there soon, and the time is tight and the task is heavy. Xue Xiangdong's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly changed the topic.
Wang Shigui said, "Okay. However, there is no need to make a specific plan, if the chief wants to inspect the air, I will personally fly the plane, and the route is not something we can decide, and the chief will fly wherever he wants, and your side will mainly conduct temporary command and coordination to ensure the absolute safety of our plane's flight. ”
"Understood." Xue Xiangdong naturally knew, and there were not many details that could be determined by the people below, he said, "At that time, Li Zhan will command in the air, arrange two escort fighters, and Li Zhan will also be in command, and the North Kuta Terrace will be mainly responsible for the approach and take-off and landing sections, assisting Li Zhan in air command." ”
Wang Shigui didn't know that Li Zhan was going to command more than a dozen fighters at the same time, so he nodded and said, "This is the best, and the air command is more timely and effective." As for the escort, when the chief arrives, you will have to confirm with the accompanying staff officers. ”
"Understood." Xue Xiangdong said.
The two old birds came up with three sets of plans in more than ten minutes, and Li Zhan made suggestions from the side and quickly ended the discussion. Even if there are many uncertain details, the plan must be made, and there must be at least three or more sets. Otherwise, what will you show to the chief?
Half an hour later than expected, two Mi-171 transport helicopters slowly landed at the North Kuchang Station. In accordance with the order of the training headquarters, only Xue Xiangdong, Wang Shigui, and Li Zhan, the leaders of the garrison troops at the North Reservoir Station, brought two staff officers to meet them.
When Li Zhan saw a tall man in his fifties in civilian clothes walking down from the helicopter, he immediately understood why Wang Shigui's crew used the radio call sign of United Airlines.
The retinue was simple, but the head of the training headquarters also came and brought a staff team, so it seemed that the team was huge.
Li Zhan, the little shrimp, only got a handshake and a "hard work", and then consciously retreated to the back to do specific things. Because they were the highest-level cadres at the station, Xue Xiangdong and Wang Shigui had been accompanying the chiefs to report on the specific implementation of the exercise and the next preparations.
The guards who came to a squad looked like they were from the guard reconnaissance unit, and the equipment was very eye-catching, much more high-end than the average guard unit, and there were many objects that Li Zhan couldn't recognize what the model was.
When the audience arrived, the drama officially began.
Li Zhan came to his No. 01 Su-27SK, the flight equipment was armed, and the satellite phone in the front pocket was probably the only equipment outside the standard. The tower ordered, Li Zhan put on the flight helmet to board the plane, and with the help of Miao Yu, the flight helmet was linked to the cockpit, and the various systems of the fighter in the driving state were checked.
Confirmed, Miao Yu quickly left the plane, removed the boarding ladder, removed the refueling truck, ground power supply vehicle, etc., the ground commander waved the green flag, Li Zhan raised his right hand wearing white labor protection gloves and saluted, gently pushed the accelerator with a little brake and slid out of the apron smoothly.
The rest of the fighters followed suit, one after the other, and a full twelve heavy fighters formed a column to glide along the taxiway to the runway, performing an elephant walk. The time was pinched very accurately, and at this moment the chief had arrived at the tower, and he was deeply relieved to see this scene.
In addition to the eight Su-27SK and four Su-27UBK, the 21 J-7E and 22 J-7B of the second and third teams also took the posture of elephant walking to form a long column and followed the first group to the runway. Two Su-27UBKs led by Nie Jianfeng on combat readiness slid out at the end.
All of a sudden, the entire outfield was full of fighters, both the visual effects and the atmosphere of the battle, which shocked the leaders.
In addition to the No. 037 J-7E, two combat-ready Su-27UBK, two J-7E left by the Second Group, and two J-7B left by the Third Group as combat-ready fighters, all the fighters of the 101st Regiment of the 73rd Division of the Large-scale Fighter Regiment were dispatched.
Fifty-seven fighters, third-generation and second-generation aircraft, four models, occupy most of the taxiway space. Only a large station such as the North Reservoir Station can accommodate dozens of fighters at the same time. Conservatively estimated to be worth about 100 million yuan, the warplanes roared and lined up in a neat queue towards the southern end of the runway, not so much an elephant strolling as a giant python swimming.
Such a scene gives a strong sense of power, which in turn brings a strong confidence.
This is exactly what the 101st Regiment wants to show to important audiences - we definitely have the strength to win any war, but our equipment is really backward, you see most of them are backward second-generation aircraft!
The time has come to test the command and control capability of the North Kuta Observatory, and how to make as many as 57 fighters take off and leave the field in the shortest possible time will be the first capability on display this time.
Xue Xiangdong couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but Bao Guanhua was much calmer, maybe because he was about to change jobs, and he would have a more or less sense of detachment in the face of a big leader.
"Captain Xue, how long will it take for all of them to be dispatched?" An Air Force leader at the training headquarters asked.
Xue Xiangdong puffed out his chest and replied categorically, "Report!" Within 30 minutes! ”
"Thirty minutes?"
The leaders of the Air Force were surprised and then suspicious, what nonsense is this regiment commander, right?
"Within thirty minutes! It could be shorter. ”
"Let's get started!"
