Chapter 71: The Vulture Wants to Fight Again (Ask for Recommendation)
It is not so easy to make a first-class meritorious service, and it is better among pilots, and there are always so many people who can still make a first-class meritorious service if they live well. If it is in other arms, it is basically either crippled or hung on the wall as a martyr, of course, there are special circumstances, but this situation is too rare.
Originally, according to Yang Luo's situation, it was not enough to achieve first-class merit, but after the flight records extracted from the No. 801 fighter were interpreted, coupled with the prior preparation that Yang Luo said, the superiors thought that there was a certain research value, and it was a good start for other units to carry out similar training, so it was promoted to a higher level.
If we want to say that meritorious service is the easiest way, looking at the navy, army, and air force, it is the pilot of the three armed forces, but when the pilot reaches the rank of deputy regiment or above, it is not so easy to make meritorious service, especially for great meritorious service.
Because the rewards of our army are at the bottom, most of the objects awarded are soldiers and grassroots cadres, and the deputy regiment to the main division belongs to the middle-level cadres, and the higher the rank, the more difficult it is to make meritorious contributions.
The level here refers to the position, not the executive level. Pilots are all officers, and pilots who have only administrative rank treatment and no position, even if they enjoy the rank of colonel and enjoy the treatment of a full division, have the same opportunities for meritorious service as grassroots cadres, and there are many opportunities.
This is why Hu Zhongming led the 122nd Regiment to victory without making meritorious service, but only gave a collective second-class merit. At or above the deputy regimental level, they already have considerable power in their hands, and the troops are well trained, which is what they should be, and vice versa, if there is a problem with their ability, they must at least be criticized.
After awarding Yang Luo a military merit certificate and a brief speech, the whole conference ended.
Hu Zhongming left with a group of seven people, boarded the commuter bus waiting outside the auditorium, and prepared to go to the tarmac to drive back to Dongling Station.
When Yang Luo was about to wait for the car, he was stopped by a voice: "Yang Luo, wait a minute." ”
Looking back, an officer in his thirties with the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder was walking towards him, Yang Luo looked at the other party suspiciously, not understanding what he was doing when he stopped him.
"Captain Hu, okay." The lieutenant colonel first saluted Hu Zhongming, who had already gotten into the car, and then said to Yang Luo, "What should I call you?" Yang Luo, sheep, or madman? ”
"Whatever." Yang Luo didn't care, and then asked, "Are you?" ”
"I'm a pilot on 862, remember?"
“862……”
Yang Luo searched for the memories in his mind, and with a flash of inspiration, he suddenly remembered that the opponent of the first air battle since he left the regiment was 862? It's still a defeated subordinate under his own hands, what's the nickname, right...... Vulture.
"You're a vulture, hello." Yang Luo smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
"I lost the last time I fought with you, and I ran into you again on September 2nd, I thought I could fight you again, but you ran too fast and didn't catch up, and today I want to fight you again." Vulture said.
"You were one of the people chasing me that night?" Yang Luo said in surprise, but he didn't expect that one of the two fighters chasing him at that time was a vulture 862, at that time, he only cared about escaping, how could he have time to observe who the other party was, and besides, it was so dark at that time, and he couldn't see the nose number clearly.
"Well, I'm one of them, but you're running too fast and I didn't catch up. Later, you left directly, and in the early hours of the morning, you caught us off guard again, blowing up our station. The vulture said, "Why don't you agree to fight me again?" ”
Thinking of the situation at that time, the vulture couldn't help but get angry, Yang Luo kept leading in front, and wanted to blow up the station, so he chased after him for dozens of minutes, but he didn't even catch up, and finally he could only watch Yang Luo walk away.
No one expected Yang Luo to go and return in the early morning, and he also blew up the Anxian station, but the head of the 123rd regiment, Zhang, was furious, and was severely criticized by the division party committee headed by Song Yongqi.
Naturally, the angry head Zhang would not let his subordinates have a good time, and the first to bear the brunt was the vulture and his wingman, and the two were severely reprimanded by the head of Zhang, and both of them wanted to shrink their heads into their necks.
Today, the vulture is coming for revenge, and he wants to let the head of the regiment know that he really can't blame himself for not shooting down Yang Luo at that time, but that Yang Luo is too thief, and he is bent on escaping, who can catch up.
As for the problem of flying skills, Vulture didn't think that he would be worse than Yang Luo. He is an old flight for more than ten years, will he be no better than a new flight who has only been in the group for a few months?
No one believes it.
The last time the fight failed, the vulture attributed it to too much physical exertion. You must know that he shot down a plane first, consumed a lot of physical strength, and was shot down by Yang Luo in an unequal situation.
So, he is ready to take revenge today.
"Commander?" Yang Luo looked expectantly at Hu Zhongming, who had already gotten into the car, and his eyes were full of hope that he would agree.
Yang Luo really wanted to have another fight with the vulture, it didn't matter if he won or lost, the important thing was that he hadn't flown properly for a few days.
The National Day was a three-day holiday, and then the 4th and 5th were on duty for two consecutive days, one main shift and one deputy shift, and only went up once in two days, and came back soon, and yesterday was rest.
Yang Luo was already itching.
Large-scale air battles, in which dozens of planes fight in the air, test the level of the commander, and the individual's flight skills appear insignificant. The best way to find out a pilot's flying skills is to engage in aerial dogfights.
Hu Zhongming also wanted to know how far Yang Luo had grown after a month of simulated confrontation drills, so he nodded in agreement: "I agree, I'll talk to your head and let him arrange it." ”
Hu Zhongming took out the phone and called Head Zhang.
It is impossible for the two pilots to agree to go up directly, which involves multiple departments, maintenance, control towers, and logistics...... Wait a minute.
Moreover, this is not Dongling Station, this is Anxian Station, and the only person who can make a flight plan is the 123rd Regiment or the 31st Division's division party committee.
After Hu Zhongming put down the phone, the vulture's phone rang, and after a few simple words, the vulture also boarded the commuter car and headed to the flight area together, obviously, Zhang Tuan Commander agreed to the fight between the two.
The vultures were laid down at the door of the combat readiness duty room, and the commuter car continued to move to the tarmac.
"Yang Luo, you have to cheer me up and beat this vulture down again, but don't drop the chain, the heads of the theater, the air division and the military region will all watch the battle from the tower." In the car, Hu Zhongming admonished.
As soon as Hu Zhongming's words came out, the car fell silent in vain, and his eyes were full of incredulity.
Heads of theaters, air divisions, and military districts watch the battle?
It's just an ordinary fight, are the chiefs so idle?
This is too much to show!
"Commander, don't worry, if I can shoot him down once, I can shoot him down a second time." Yang Luo said confidently.
