Chapter 330: The shortest-lived commander of the Blue Army
And that's not all.
One of the things that worried Li Zhan the most became a fact - Xue Xiangdong's communication with the bomber division had failed, and the bomber division had blocked the news from the Eagle Falcon team. This meant that the bomber divisions most likely fell to the side of the Red Army.
If it was only to provide a station as a base for the Red Army's advance, Li Zhan's greatest concern was that the bomber division and the Royal Cat Flying Regiment would work together to fight "a nest of snakes and rats".
Li Zhan shuddered at the thought of several bombers with dozens of tons of bombs laying eggs on his head.
Although it was a tattered H-6 Plus that had been changed over and over for decades, although it was a Tu-16 Super Invincible that had been changed to the point that her own mother didn't know, improved and improved and improved and simply replaced the avionics engine, in the eyes of many people, it was an old bomber that was not to worry about at all, but after all, it was a medium-sized bomber, and it was an air ammunition depot that could bombard the remaining ammunition at the Beiku combat training base!
Not to mention actually running over to lay eggs, just hearing such news is scary enough.
"The countdown to D-Day is on, guys, cheer up. They have blocked the news from us, so why don't we do a solid job of keeping secrets on the outside and on the inside? ”
In the afternoon, another combat meeting will be held, and unless there are special circumstances, this combat meeting will be the last one before the start of the battle.
Li Zhan was wearing a blue flight suit, and the flight equipment had been armed, and he said to the air crew and ground crew who were also fully armed in the conference room, "Don't forget, we are the Blue Army, and we used to simulate F-16 fighters and the corresponding strong enemy aviation wing, but now we are simulating F-15 and the corresponding aviation wing." Their fighting power is our fighting power, and we have to fight even better. ”
"In the past, I have always emphasized that we are a professional simulation of the Blue Army, and professionally, either by changing the name or by changing the name or by simulating the Blue Army, we have to make the simulation impossible from the inside to the outside. Now I have decided that we will use English communication throughout the confrontation drill with the Royal Cat Flying Regiment! ”
Although everyone was mentally prepared, they were still very surprised that this day really came. When the simulated blue army was formed last year, Li Zhan clearly put forward many detailed requirements, including the whole team learning professional English.
This time, Li Zhan obviously wanted to throw the Eagle Falcon Brigade into an all-round test in the most hostile battlefield environment that had been created. Although the Royal Cat Flying Regiment was menacing and used its strong activity ability to move away the "strategic killer" of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, Li Zhan still did not regard the unit as an opponent in his heart.
No one knows the Eagle Falcon Brigade better than Li Zhan, and he has single-handedly created this flying brigade that has made a name for itself in the whole army, from scratch and from weak to strong, and he knows the strengths and weaknesses of the troops, the strengths and weaknesses of the troops, and even the operational characteristics of each pilot and the places that are not satisfactory.
He is running out of time, and he must make full use of the time to beat and beat the Eagle Falcon Brigade again, thoroughly consolidate the combat capability of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, and let this unit continue to maintain the name of "the professional blue army unit of the whole army". It was probably one of the few things he could do before he left Beiku.
"Comrades, completely dispel illusions, this is a war, a war for us, a war for theirs, and a war between you and yourself. In the past period of time, we have tempered ourselves fiercely, and let the battle test what kind of effect we have achieved! ”
With a wave of his hand, Grand Political Commissar Li gave an order, "I order!" ”
Everyone stood up in unison, their expressions were serious, their military postures were standard, and their eyes were resolute.
"Operation Cat Hunt begins! Each unit is in place and waiting for the departure order! ”
"Yes!"
The early summer night in Beiku was cold and cold, but the officers and men of the aircraft on standby on the tarmac were all hot, their movements were powerful, their eyes were glasses, and any trace of the fighter plane could not escape their sharp eyes.
At midnight, the piercing adrenaline-pumping emergency pull horn sounded, followed by an air raid siren, implying the highest level of response from the troops.
Li Zhan rushed out of the flight briefing room with his flight helmet in his hand, followed by all the pilots who participated in the confrontation exercise. The Command and Dispatch Department demanded that the base be kept in a state of normal operation, that it should do whatever it did in peacetime, and that after the air raid siren sounded, the troops would be transferred from routine to first-class.
It was actually against the rules for all the pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade to be on standby in the flight briefing room, but Li Zhan didn't care. If this small detail is not allowed by the Beiku director, the officers and soldiers of the 101st Brigade will not agree to it - what kind of blue army guide are you.
In less than a minute, all the pilots were in place, and all ten fighters were successfully launched in one go.
"Dong San Crutch takes off urgently!" The commander of the tower is Yang Jingshan, who is the commander of the Blue Army in this confrontation exercise, and Nie Jianfeng, who is in charge of the command in the Eagle's Nest Field Command Center, and he gave the opportunity to fly to other pilots.
Li Zhan quickly slid to the take-off line, "Dong Sangui received, take off urgently!" ”
No. 037 J-7EGG took off urgently, and did not stop from the tarmac to the runway take-off line. After the nose of the plane was aimed at the center line of the runway, Li Zhan directly worked harder. The fighter plane with only two simulated empty bombs was very brisk, and the single chrysanthemum spewed out a fiery red tail flame, which was so dazzling at night.
Nine Su-27SK and Su-27UBK followed, all of which took off urgently in a very short time.
Li Zhan plunged headlong into the starry night sky, climbed to an altitude of six thousand meters, and then turned around and flew south.
"Eagle Brigade, I wish you success, North Kutatai." Yang Jingshan uttered his last words as the commander of the Blue Army in this confrontation exercise.
According to the pre-battlefield conditions that Li Zhan insisted on setting, the Beiku base had already been devastated by the Red Army's air forces, the tower was destroyed, and the officers and men of all combat seats, including the commander, were "sacrificed."
Except for the nine fighters led by Li Zhan who took off urgently to avoid the air attack, the rest of the fighters were all destroyed, and after the tower commander Yang Jinshan gave the emergency take-off order, the tower was attacked by a precision attack ammunition, and all the people in the tower command room were "sacrificed."
In other words, the pre-battlefield conditions set by Li Zhan directly cut off the headquarters of the Blue Army, and then the Eagle Falcon Brigade could only rely on the field command post to command-that is, the Eagle's Nest. There, a simple tower was urgently erected on top of the bungalow with a steel structure, and the conditions were indescribably rudimentary.
No. 037 J-7EGG led a group of junior SU-27 twin-engine heavy fighters to evacuate to Highway 4, hundreds of kilometers away in the night sky, the J-10B strike aircraft group of the Royal Cat Flying Regiment was conducting a surprise attack on the Beiku combat training base under the cover of the J-11B air control fighters.
On the ground in the North Reservoir area, there are also many unknown military units carrying out their respective tasks during the night. Among them, the radar stations and ground-to-air missile positions belonging to the Beiku air defense base system are in full array.
Even Lao Lu's side also contributed - the Daoer battalion of a certain army department that once owed Li Zhan a great favor had already entered the designated area according to the arrangement of the Blue Army, waiting for those cats flying in the sky to throw themselves into the net.
