"Zhongnan Zhongnan, there is a thunderstorm in front of me, apply to fly around, or let us go up to some heights, turn around in twos and fives, and it's over."

Liu Changxi called the Air Force Central South Air Traffic Control Center.

The plane was a civil aviation aircraft, but it was the air force personnel who flew the plane, and at the special request of the airline, the unit agreed to include the flight in the unit's training plan, thus opening up a special route. This will undoubtedly give you the right of way and make the transition flight smoother.

The Air Force Zhongnan Air Traffic Control replied: "Two or five turns, you can choose the most suitable route and report to me, and I will deploy the airspace for your use, Zhongnan Air Traffic Control, over." ”

Li Zhan and Liu Changxi glanced at each other, and both smiled, Liu Changxi said, "Two, five, two, two turns, understand, I will go around from the No. 7 navigation point and then return to the planned route, over." ”

"Go around through Navigation Point Seven, understand, I'll help you clear the airspace, over."

Li Zhan's lever turned 270 degrees, and the plane began to bypass the cumulonimbus clouds ahead. Such a flight could not be easier, no different from a special plane.

Immediately, Li Zhan and Liu Changxi both saw that the cumulonimbus clouds they encountered were far larger than those seen on the weather radar, Li Zhan frowned and said, "I'm afraid the diameter is more than 300 kilometers, is it caused by the latest cold air from the south?" ”

Liu Changxi was flipping through the weather report, he was confirming the information, and said, "No, it should be the first wave of cold air from the south." The latest cold air from Siberia has just arrived, and yesterday's forecast showed that the latest wave of cold air is moving fast and will probably catch up with the previous wave in the central and southern regions. The central and southern regions are not easy to pass. ”

"The first snow of 2012 came a little harder than usual." Li Zhan spoke easily, but he was worried in his heart.

The impact of a wave of cold air is already considerable, and the cold air in Siberia continues to weaken from north to south, but if new cold air is added, it will have a great impact on the southern regions that would not have experienced bad weather, and catastrophic weather will be inevitable.

After returning to the planned route, the two of them relaxed a little, after all, they were flying a damaged plane, and they were not careless at all.

Li Zhan didn't have much confidence in the Y-8F-400's simple autopilot, so he drove it manually throughout the whole process to ensure absolute stability.

Liu Changxi held back a question in his heart, and after entering the high-altitude cruising state, he asked Li Zhan, "Xiao Li, you can be lucky to drive the Bang Liu, you can also drive it, with my years of experience, your Yun-8 flight skills are probably more skilled than many instructors." Haven't you been working in fighter units? ”

"It's true that I've had relatively little contact with the H-6, but I'm flying a plane...... How to put it, it's faster to get started. Li Zhan pondered and explained, "As for Yunba, the first plane I flew was it, and I can't say anything else." ”

Liu Changxi was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "I can't say, well, I understand." ”

After a pause, he said, "There is something I wanted to talk to you about a long time ago, and I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity since the end of the West-Pacific Voyage training. Would you like to work in our reconnaissance unit? Don't be busy refusing yet, our independent reconnaissance regiment will soon not be the reconnaissance unit that everyone imagined, and it will be equipped with high-tech aircraft, including early warning aircraft, in the future. It can be said that we will be the most important and the most valuable troops in the future. ”

However, he saw that Li Zhan's expression was normal, and the scene that he imagined that Li Zhan would be full of interest after hearing the news did not appear.

Li Zhan smiled slightly and said, "Sooner or later, the independent reconnaissance force will be like this. Fighter plane units are already beginning to develop a multi-aircraft organization to hammer out diversified combat capabilities, and they will be able to do tactical reconnaissance tasks on their own in the future, so that there will be no need for independent reconnaissance units to continue to exist, and the only direction is to develop in the direction of electronic warfare and technical support. ”

"How do you know? This is still confidential information within us. Liu Changxi was quite surprised.

Li Zhan said, "The 101st Brigade is a pilot unit for reform, and the Nighthawk Tactical Reconnaissance Unit was brought out by me." It's embarrassing to say, but the Nighthawk Tactical Reconnaissance Force actually threatens the survival of your independent reconnaissance unit, which I didn't expect. ”

Liu Changxi thought for a moment and said, "This is a good thing, there is no Nighthawk tactical reconnaissance unit and no new development for us." Then again, wouldn't you want to join us? The tie rod fee for opening a high-tech machine is very high. ”

"What do you mean, Captain Liu, what does it have to do with the trolley fee?" Li Zhan suddenly felt unhappy, "Besides, the trolley fee of the high-tech aircraft is definitely not as high as that of the fighter jet, and the danger of our fighter is greater." ”

Liu Changxi smiled and said, "I heard that you mainly look at the tie rod fee, this is no problem at all, isn't it a subsidy, as long as you come, we will give you a subsidy with the highest standard." ”

"Commander Liu, you and I are comrades-in-arms who share life and death with friends in adversity, how can you believe some rumors? Some people just see me eating meat and deliberately don't see the price I pay for it. You can inquire how many times I have successfully handled a first-class dangerous situation, how many property losses I have recovered for the troops, and how many times I have handled air situations, because I have carried out more temporary live-fire training tasks than the men of a regiment of some units combined. What do you say I want, I want money, what do I want money for, why don't I transfer to civil aviation if I want to make money, with my ability to fly it 1.8 million a year is very simple, how comfortable is it to drive a big plane and soak in a small flight attendant, and I have to drive a fighter jet to play with my life? Saying that I can't get out of the drill rod fee, what do I want money for, I usually take it seriously when I joke and say a few words. ”

"Hey, hey, why are you so excited, just say it casually, of course I know who you are."

"I am dedicated to contributing to the construction of a strong people's air force, but I have been misinterpreted, just give up, and I have to mention the rod fee again."

"Okay, don't mention it."

Liu Changxi couldn't cry or laugh, being told by Li Zhan made him feel that he and others were vulgar in their thinking, and he was a little ashamed and guilty, "Don't mention it, don't mention it, you're going to HNA anyway, hey, I know you can't agree to transfer to our independent reconnaissance group, but the chief still ordered me to talk to you." ”

Li Zhan said, "I like planes that can fly at supersonic speeds. ”

He let go of the joystick and hugged his arm and sighed, "I'm a supersonic person." Some people say I'm impatient, and I've thought about it repeatedly, so to speak. For example, if there is an empty situation, I want to drive them out in the shortest possible time, and I will not let them stay in my airspace for even a second. Therefore, the leader said that the probability of problems will be greater if the same task is performed by me, and I think it has something to do with this. ”

Liu Changxi said, "When you get to HNA, the air situation you encounter will increase exponentially, and you still have to control the rhythm a little." Some air situations are very special, and they test the pilot's ability to deal with the plane on the spot. ”

"I'm doing tactical research on this." Li Zhan regained his grip on the joystick.

Liu Changxi was about to say that it was not a matter of tactics but a matter of political sensitivity, but he suddenly saw Li Zhan's serious and serious face, and suddenly woke up - he was a pure tactician.

Soon, they saw the white expanse of the earth, and after more than two hours of flight, they arrived in the Hanzhong area, where the 012 aircraft factory is located. At this time, the Hanzhong area had just sent away the first snow of 2012.

"012, I'm back."
