Beginning at 13 o'clock in the afternoon, 36 J-11B and J-11BS heavy fighters of the 101st Brigade launched a continuous sortie in an attack formation of two planes per batch and a batch of five minutes to carry out live firing at the icebergs in the No. 13 area.

The surplus of 15 tons of ammunition originally planned for live firing plus 50 tons of ordinary aerial bombs specially allocated by the higher authorities, a total of 65 tons of ammunition was used to bomb icebergs.

Li Zhan was shocked by such a big deal from his superiors, and recalled the time when Sanhe was fighting the flood, not to mention 36 planes and 65 tons, even if he had one-tenth of the ammunition, he would not take a huge risk to blow up the mountain alone.

Beginning in 2011, it can probably start with the birth of the fourth-generation aircraft, the Air Force and the Navy began to compete for the attention of the people, all kinds of new models, new ammunition, new radars, and new warships emerged one after another, and the Air Force's fourth-generation aircraft and various third-generation aircraft modifications and the Navy's dumplings became two major joyful events that the people talked about.

For example, the live-fire training in front of me would have been unthinkable before this year

The 50-ton ordinary aerial bombs that have been urgently allocated are also ammunition that are about to expire their shelf life, and the use of such unguided and unpowered aerial bombs can only be carried out by horizontal bombing or dive bombing, which is not only the most basic ground strike subject, but also a relatively difficult subject to be accurately hit.

Perhaps because of the relationship between the areas where it is stationed, the 101st Brigade has conducted a lot of horizontal bombing training in its history, and has also carried out some simulated bombing training after the modification of the J-11B.

At this time, all the 24 J-11Bs and J-11BSs of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, which had been allocated precision ammunition and aviation rockets, were all hung with huge ordinary aerial bombs. The appalling bomb load of heavy fighters makes it difficult for professional bombers such as the H-6 to be discouraged. The four heavy pylons were all hung with twin 500-kilogram aerial bombs, which were the heaviest unguided munitions in the aviation munitions in service.

On average, each fighter carries eight 500-kilogram bombs, with a total weight of four tons, although the maximum bomb load of the J-11 is still far from the maximum bomb load, but the huge wind resistance brought by the huge 500-kilogram bombs that can only be attached will have a great impact on the flight.

When taxiing from the tarmac to the take-off line, Li Zhan clearly felt that the fighter plane was becoming more and more stable, and the throttle stick had to be pushed forward more than usual to ensure that the fighter could glide at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

Waiting on the taxiway like a civilian airplane lining up to take off, dozens of heavy warplanes lined the taxiway in neat columns in the outfield, and all kinds of ammunition under the wings were hideous and kind, and a veritable fully armed elephant roamed. The slightly lowered head of the J-11B fighter looks proudly at all things, and it looks like a ferocious vulture, and it is a war machine that seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but in fact it is ferocious and inhuman, and will launch a fatal blow at any time.

Li Zhan, who pressed the formation, saw with his own eyes that the wings of the front-order fighters shook when they took off, and with the blessing of four tons of ammunition, the J-11B was too stable. Half-fuel plus four tons of ammunition already exceeds the standard take-off weight of the J-11B.

Li Zhan had observed the iceberg up close, and said that the iceberg was actually a slightly larger piece of ice blocked at the intersection of the tributaries and the main stream, with a height of more than 30 meters, a width of more than 100 meters, and a width of about 50 meters. The planned amount of ammunition of fifteen tons should be able to completely destroy it, but I did not expect the superiors to urgently allocate fifty tons of aerial bombs in one go.

Realistically calculated, 65 tons of ammunition is enough to support the combat use of an aviation brigade in a division-level battle, which is more than the total amount of ammunition used by the original 101 regiment in three years of training.

Such a large amount of ammunition poured on the iceberg is enough to flatten it, and there is no need to specifically hit the joint point at all. Li Zhan felt that his suggestions and impact points were meaningless.

However, if we think about it from another angle, this is also a model and inevitable choice for absolute superiority operations, and in the case that the target can be covered with the amount of ammunition to achieve the best strike effect, there is obviously no need to take a huge risk to sneak in and carry out precision strikes.

When Li Zhan arrived, he pushed the throttle stick to the end at one time, released the brake while the speed was in place, and the fighter started smoothly, and the instantaneous propulsion was still full of pushing back feeling, which was faster than the acceleration of civil airliner takeoff. When the nose of the aircraft is raised, the fighter is still as stable as a heavy truck on the ground at a wind speed of six meters, and the wings will keep swaying from side to side under the condition of light load, giving people the feeling that they will tip over at any time.

When the speed was three hundred and five, Li Zhan completely pulled up, and the take-off and running distance was nearly eight hundred meters, so he was too steady to be more stable. The pre-sequence fighters basically take off at this gliding distance, carrying tons of ammunition that cannot be taken lightly, how to be the most stable, how to come.

Each batch of two, eighteen batches, with an interval of five minutes, formed a continuous attack column and pointed the arrow to the iceberg in the No. 13 area. Looking down from a higher air, or the ground radar to the air detection, you will see two parallel dotted lines from the Beiku combat training base to the iceberg more than 700 kilometers away, like a turning radar beam drawing an arc in the air to hook each other, and like a magician in the fantasy world to release a long-range lightning strike at the target.

From the first batch of attacks, the battle at the location of the iceberg has been continuous. Thirty seconds after the first group completed the attack and broke away, the next group of planes entered the attack route, and the front and rear connections were very compact, so as to achieve the overall effect of continuous strikes.

This type of attack is a classic way for air force aviation units to continuously surprise enemy positions. Army artillery units used to use the intermittent firing method when firing at the enemy, in order to confuse the enemy and kill and injure as many enemy forces as possible.

It can be regarded as a long point fire of the air force aviation unit, and the advantage is that there is enough time to correct and change the target during the attack process, and the combat effect is maximized.

The precision ammunition of the two major teams and the three major teams were all delivered, and the entire iceberg was shrouded in a thin smoke, which affected the vision of the follow-up group to a certain extent, but for the Eagle Falcon Brigade that used ordinary aerial bombs to cover the line bombing, it was not a big problem that the field of vision was slightly affected.

The fighter plane flew towards the target like a heavy climb, and when Li Zhan flew about to bomb the route, the target area in front of him was already shrouded in thick smoke. There is smoke and dust from the explosion of the aerial bomb, and there is the smoke formed by the crushed ice that has been blasted open by the iceberg and atomized at high temperatures, which converge together to cover most of the iceberg.

Li Zhan dropped four twin 500-kilogram bombs at the bomb dropping point, and then accelerated to climb away from the attack route, and when he turned to the right, he could see through the scattered smoke that most of the iceberg had collapsed, and only a small amount of ice at the bottom was stubbornly left on the riverbed. He saw a few small black dots in an oblique freefall motion accurately fall into the stubborn ice of the riverbed, and suddenly burst into flowers, like flame-colored flowers that suddenly bloomed, and then slowly obscured by the rising smoke.

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Zhan flew back.

The saturation bombing spectacle was grand but not very technical, and the excessive amount of ammunition delivered was even suspiciously clearing stockpiles.

The group of planes that had completed the attack mission returned one after another, and the Beiku combat training base was as busy as an international airport receiving returning fighters, landing one after another with an intensive landing frequency, and the ground support department once again began to be busy in an orderly manner.

For the first time, the air defense base organized a large group of aircraft for training, and some problems arose when the group returned to the field. There was some delay in the speed of the landing of the pre-order returning fighters, so that by the time Li Zhan finally returned, he circled over the base for three weeks before he was allowed to land. It can be seen that the newly-born air defense base still has a lot of room for improvement in organizing combat training.

Immediately after Li Zhan landed, he rushed to the tower to take over the post of flight commander, and the live-fire training was over, and the leaders left the tower one after another to resume normal duty.

A J-8FR tactical reconnaissance plane took off alone and rushed to the No. 13 area to reconnoiter the firing area, judge the damage, and provide a basis for the end of the mission.

Nie Jianfeng, who was sitting in the position of deputy commander, pointed to the direction where the J-8FR was going and said tiredly, "Zhu Wei didn't hit, and Commander Liang specially asked for the name." ”

"Didn't make it?" Li Zhan's surprise was not trivial.

Nie Jianfeng shook his head slightly, "No, the rest of the tactical reconnaissance squadron has hit, but he, the squadron leader, let the target plane run away, and the joke is big." ”

In this live-fire training, the tactical reconnaissance squadron fired the most expensive anti-radiation air-to-surface missile, the YJ-91, and launched a large target from a distance of 50 kilometers to attack a simulated ground radar target. Judging from the firing conditions, it is very easy to shoot live ammunition, and the performance of the YJ-91 is familiar to everyone, and it is a very mature air-to-ground missile, with anti-radiation and anti-ship types.

Zhu Wei had the experience of successfully launching many actual fires, and this time the test live-fire shooting actually missed the target, and Li Zhan could not help but be surprised.

"Zhu Wei is a veteran, how can he run off the target, there is a problem with the missile?" Li Zhan frowned.

Nie Jianfeng said, "The ground feedback has not yet arrived, and the specific situation is not clear." When Zhu Wei came back and asked him, the problem must be clarified, and he can't be millions of people who have been typed out and don't know where the problem is. ”

"Yes, there are only four anti-radiation bombs in total, and all of them have been hit by their reconnaissance squadrons, and running one is equivalent to only 75 percent of the hit rate, and a good level cannot be reached." Li Zhan said solemnly.

Nie Jianfeng also had a serious expression.

To put it mildly, it is very likely that this year's advanced military training unit of the Eagle Falcon Brigade will fly away because of Zhu Wei's missile. It seems unreasonable to work hard all year round and not be able to get an advanced unit for military training because of a missile that has been missed.

No matter how well you do your job all year round, as long as you are not good in one aspect, one job, or even one subject, you will not be qualified to participate in the evaluation, let alone be selected as an advanced unit in military training of the year.

What is the honor of the Advanced Unit of Military Training of the Year? It is a collective standard of honor for measuring a collective's combat effectiveness, and it is the label of the main force in the minds of the majority of officers and men. The troops are engaged in training in order to get an advanced unit of annual military training at the end of the year, although it may only be a pennant.

The Eagle Falcon Brigade's training subjects this year have all been of an excellent standard up to now, and as long as the all-army aviation unit performs well in the all-army aviation all-element contest in November, it will not be able to escape the honor of being an advanced unit in military training of the year at the Beiku Air Defense Base. The premise is that Zhu Wei did not miss the target this time, even if he misses it, it is acceptable.

Liang Pengfei asked the pilot's name, and it can be seen that the target ran very well.

Li Zhan suddenly thought of a possibility-could it be that there was a situation where he accidentally hit someone else's target?

If that really happens, it is acceptable that it will not be able to get the result of being an advanced unit in military training for the year.

"Tower, I report that my altimeter is malfunctioning." Zhu Wei's sudden report made the atmosphere in the tower suddenly tense.

Li Zhan, who had felt a little tired after most of the day's flight, instantly became energetic, and the adrenaline rush stimulated every nerve. Li Zhan pressed the emergency button for the first time, and the microphone came to his mouth to give an order, "Yu Dong will return immediately." ”

"I understand, let me finish the last lap, it's over." Zhu Wei's tone was very calm, and he couldn't hear any nervousness.

Li Zhan said, "You will check the various systems, and you are four thousand eight high, over." ”

A little later, Zhu Wei replied, "Tower, correct it, the airspeed meter is also out of order, judge the failure of the air data system, over." ”

The situation is serious, the air data system is an important information system for pilots, which is to measure, calculate and display various flight parameters, such as airspeed, barometric altitude, total atmospheric temperature, static temperature, Mach number and so on. It is an important data for pilots to control the aircraft. J-8FR is a relatively new domestic air data system at that time, is a comprehensive system, the early model is a separate number of instruments, theoretically the integrated system has the possibility of all functions to fail, but this possibility is extremely low, now it seems that this extremely low probability has appeared.

Zhu Wei became blind, and he didn't know what the state of the plane was, so he could only rely on his feelings.

Nie Jianfeng immediately made a report to the combat duty room and the brigade headquarters duty room of the air defense base, triggered the emergency plan, and the emergency rescue detachment of the base quickly took action. The air rescue mechanism linked with the Army Aviation Brigade was quickly put into operation, and the Mi-171 helicopters deployed at the Beiku combat training base and the rescue personnel on duty were ready to be dispatched within one minute.

The worst preparations are all done in three minutes.

"Report to the western flight control station and request to clear the airspace in the North Reservoir area." Li Zhan quickly ordered.

The Western Flight Console controls the airspace throughout the Western Region, and all aircraft, including civil aircraft, must obey the management of the flight console. Although the Beiku area is the scope of the Beiku air defense base, and the flight tower of the air defense base can ensure the clear space of the airspace in the Beiku area, according to the procedure, when there is a dangerous situation that may threaten the flight safety of other aircraft, it must be reported to the western flight control station, and the department will coordinate and manage it in a unified manner.

One order after another was given, all the departments directly and indirectly related to it took action, and the No. 101 J-8FR tactical reconnaissance plane, which was more than 700 kilometers away, flew in the opposite direction to the sun......
