The operational direction of the Birdcatcher SAM units is facing west, and they know that the "enemy" will attack from the west, that is, the other three directions are very weak links.

It is unlikely that Li Zhan will break through from the east, and it will take a big circle, which cannot be done in the current situation. According to the requirements of the test flight, when performing this kind of high-intensity ground precision strike mission, the J-16 needs to carry several tons of ammunition, in other words, it cannot be refueled, so the range is limited.

The maximum take-off weight of the J-16 is not much higher than that of the Su-30MKK, but this increase is limited.

Li Zhan said, "Take a small detour from the southeast and break through from their south side." ”

Chen Fei suddenly said, "You have forgotten that there is important weather in the southeast, and a typhoon has already formed on the sea surface 200 kilometers away. ”

"So they didn't expect us to break through from the south. As for the impact of the typhoon on us, I think it is very small, and it is no problem to keep a distance of more than 30 kilometers from the typhoon circle. Li Zhan said.

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "If you think it's okay, then do it." ”

It's just a typhoon, and it's not that it hasn't flown over a typhoon day, not to mention that it's an ocean storm more than 200 kilometers away from the mainland.

Li Zhan immediately reported the battle plan to the Fuzhou command post, and then quickly turned south, set the flight altitude at an altitude of 50 meters above sea level, and flew quickly across the sea glowing with faint starlight. There are usually no clouds in the area around the typhoon, because the clouds are attracted to it, so the periphery is very clean, so Li Zhan can clearly see the lights on the ground all the way over.

The wind is a bit strong, it is a whirlwind from south to north and then east, and the further south you go, the more obvious it feels.

The strait below is an important sea communication artery, and there are many large ships going back and forth between the north and the south, and Li Zhan can even clearly see that oil tankers of two or three hundred thousand tons appear on the channel from time to time, and the navigation lights are hundreds of meters high on the mast, which looks like a mobile lighthouse on the sea.

Li Zhan flew on the left side of the fairway, and perhaps the ships that met him would be surprised by the red and green lights flashing on the sea, and no one would have thought that there would be planes flying at such a low altitude from the sea.

As a man who has flown at a height of twenty or thirty meters in the sea in the No. 037 J-7E, Li Zhan is familiar with this matter.

After the estimated time for detecting the target was exceeded, the command center of the birdcage ground-to-air missile unit began to panic, where did the target go? The distance between each other is no more than 300 kilometers, and theoretically "Wuyi Mountain" will enter their detection range when it flies out of the coastline, but the radar display screen is full of green dots, except for the red dots that represent "Wuyi Mountain".

"How can you make purple?" The commander on duty, Colonel Guo Tai, frowned and asked the war intelligence officer beside him.

The war intelligence director stared at the tactical intelligence display and said, "It's weird, so good at purple?" They must have flown into the radar search range. ”

Colonel Guo Tai glared, "What are you talking about, you are doing something for sure!" ”

"Okay, okay!" The war intelligence director shuddered, and hurriedly ordered, "Contact the aviation team to see if you find anything." ”

"Roger!" Immediately, a staff officer contacted the J-10A fighter formation simulating the F-16A/B Brock 20 fighters circling in the air to search for the alert, but unfortunately the answer was negative.

Guo Tai touched his chin and thought, "Wait and see." ”

Obviously, they could not wait for the "guests" to appear in the direction where they should have appeared, and they also had every reason to believe that "Wuyi Mountain" was coming from the west -- the 300 Division and a certain division of the HNA were conducting night training in the east, and there was typhoon weather in the south, and it was absolutely impossible for "Wuyi Mountain" to come around from the east.

"Tonight is also an evil sect, the 300 Division and the HNA are good enough to start a night joint combat training tonight, otherwise it would be more ideal for us to break through from the north." Chen Fei followed the lights in the cockpit and looked down at a large piece of airspace on the east side of the chart that had turned into a no-fly zone, and said in wonder.

Li Zhan said, "It's a good thing that we have caught up, which shows that the training of the troops is in full swing, and the big competition is worth seeing." ”

"The 300 divisions pulling the HNA sparring are likely to be in preparation for the big competition." Chen Fei said thoughtfully and asked, "By the way, are you participating in the big competition?" ”

Li Zhan said, "Participate." The brigade said that I had to participate, and only after getting a good ranking did I be released to the Flying Shark training camp. ”

"It's a pity that the HNA troops don't have a share, and it's a pity to miss this big event." Chen Fei sighed and said.

Li Zhan said with a smile, "Sooner or later, we will fight together." You can suggest to your superiors that you should pull the troops to Beiku for training and engage in confrontation with the Eagle Falcon Brigade, and you will definitely gain something. ”

As far as air combat is concerned, naval pilots are killed by falcons. This is Chen Fei's first judgment. After arriving at the 99th Division of the HNA Division, he found that the gap between the air combat capability of the HNA unit and the air force unit was so big! In this regard, the Air Force has successively abolished the altitude difference and replaced it with free air combat training with zero altitude difference, and its air combat capability has been greatly improved. However, HNA was still very conservative in this respect, and when Chen Fei was transferred to the 99th Division of HNA, the troops still followed the previous combat training methods.

On the contrary, the navy units have done a good job in low-altitude sea-skimming assaults and precise strikes against sea targets, and they are better than many units of the air force.

Traditionally, the Air Force has been heavy on air superiority and light strikes, while the Navy Air Force has been heavy on air superiority and light on air supremacy, but now everyone is aware of the shortcomings in this and is working hard to change it. The real meaning of the HNA lies in the carrier-based aircraft force, to be precise, the aviation unit carried by the aircraft carrier.

With the transformation of the air force to both offensive and defensive capabilities, the living space of the HNA shore-based fighter units will gradually be squeezed, and the way out in the future is that those naval depots and stations along the coast will be turned into naval land-based air stations to provide logistical support for carrier-based air units.

If the Air Force wants to go to sea, the Navy has to get on the ship.

Perhaps in the future, if Lao Lu suddenly wants to install fixed-wing attack planes, the Air Force is afraid that it will have to go to sea......

After all, Lao Lu Tie is determined to do one thing, and he has never been unsuccessful for so many years - he is a fierce man who even has to be included in the sequence of his artillery unit in the Strategic Missile Forces!

Later, it was named "Second Artillery Unit" to appease the veterans of Lao Lu, and the Second Artillery Corps and the Second Artillery Corps still sound like artillery, and if it is artillery, it will belong to our army, and it can be regarded as giving face to the big brother of the army.

(I guess, don't take it seriously.) ）

The possibility of the army being equipped with attack aircraft exists, and many years ago the veterans of the army aviation established the old army and the army drooled about the strong -5 of the air force (why not call it the strong J-5), and the reason is very good - it is easy to command. At that time, the command mechanism was not as convenient and simple as it is now, and air-ground cooperative combat training was a subject worthy of big news, while the J-5 fighter aircraft was engaged in supporting the ground troops on the front-line battlefield. There is nothing wrong with including such an aircraft in the army aviation establishment.

This can step on the tail of the Air Force, and Deng Shi jumped to his feet and said Boss, you are going to build the Second Air Force, so what do you want our Air Force to do, all for you!

The reaction of the Air Force was very great, and as a big brother, he really had to look at the overall situation, so the matter was stopped. However, at that time, almost all the helicopters of the Air Force were collected by the Army Aviation, and even people and planes led the station, and even more than ten years later, such things continued, and the whole regiment and the whole brigade took a pen - returned to the old land!

Many pilots have no time to change their military uniforms, but they still wear the armbands of the Air Force flight uniforms, which clearly read: Air Force Aviation Unit!

So this pressure is passed down from layer to layer. The Air Force was afraid that Big Brother would be furious, so it hurriedly made many gestures, and then hurriedly strengthened ground strike training and worked hard in the direction of "being able to conduct campaigns independently." The Air Force has paratrooper units! The navy used to be the most angry, the aviation was attached to the air force, and the marines were simply big brothers, seeing that your life was really bad, they directly rowed a division (164 infantry division), in short, the days were miserable.

In recent years, with the adjustment of the national strategy, the upper echelons have launched a large-scale shipbuilding plan that may last for half a century, and the ships are changed in batches, and even the launching ceremony is simply carried out in the back, and they are quickly towed away and freed out of the dock. Taking advantage of this wind, the navy began to exert its strength, and it should also develop in the direction of "being able to conduct battles independently".

The big brother of the army is messy in the wind, can he fight on his own, and my drama and singing?

Well, you all have to develop outward, right, Lao Tzu, I am deeply engaged in the ground heavy machinery unit equipped with a 60-ton main tank and a 10-ton armed helicopter, and the kind that can develop a light and fast combat unit that can advance 50 kilometers in one day, and the land of Nuoda still has to rely on me to defend!

In such an environment, the specific use of a weapon is sometimes particularly important. It is precisely the J-16 that the Air Force and the Navy urgently need strike fighters, and it is a very important tactical weapon in the strategy of "being able to carry out campaigns independently".

To get back to the point, Li Zhan is not very clear about the strategic thinking of the upper echelons, and his ability limits him to think only within a tactical range. He may be a good Air Force tactician, but not necessarily a military strategist. Some tactics are not unusual, let alone bizarre, after all, there are people who have crossed the river before, so many people understand the relevant tactical theories, but from theory to practice, there is a good chance that they will die halfway, Li Zhan is just able to apply some tactics that many people can't do well to actual combat.

"Enter the orange airspace in a minute." Chen Fei reminded Li Zhan.

It is also a new attempt to use color to classify threat areas, referring to the weather warning signal system, from light to dark, red is the highest threat area, and orange is second only to red.

Li Zhan stabilized his flight attitude, "Enter the orange airspace in a minute, understand." ”

"There are important sea conditions ahead, so increase the flight altitude." Chen Fei said.

Li Zhan slowly pulled the lever and raised the nose of the plane to increase the lift surface, and the fighter climbed full of height, and finally flew flat at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level, "Two hundred meters, prepare to enter the orange airspace, turn on the radar, and prepare the weapon system." ”

"Understood, prepare weapons systems." Chen Fei quickly operated, turned on the fire control and powered on the missile according to the standard procedure, and then began to wait.

Does it make sense to turn on a radar at an altitude of two hundred meters? Apparently there is, because the threat of the orange airspace they face at this time comes from the sea.
