For the reef garrison troops, storms and typhoons are commonplace, and they are not used to coming once a month. Even to the point of longing for a typhoon - because that would make the ordinary life less boring.

However, for the pilot, it is hoped that he will not come once, and it is better not to show up for any important weather.

However, Li Zhan and Chen Fei originally served in the Second Division, and Chen Fei is now even serving in the Shuilingchang Station, and he has to deal with the typhoon several times a year, and Wu Feiyou's crew is also clear, so they are fully mentally prepared for the upcoming typhoon. Of course, Wu Feiyou's crew was more relaxed, and they had plenty of time to take off and return to their home field before the typhoon arrived, provided that the supply transport plane arrived on time.

Wu Feiyou had great curiosity about Li Zhan, and although the two crew members had been flying for several hours, they did not feel tired at all, and they had a heated discussion about the confrontation exercise.

"In the past, we were all on the disadvantaged side in this kind of confrontation drill, and we haven't been so proud as we are today for a long time." Wu Feiyou smiled and gave Li Zhan a thumbs up, "Team Leader Li, you are this." Your one-handed go-around tactics are simply a stroke of genius, and many people in the Blue Task Force are probably stupid by you. ”

It is estimated that there will be a few more blue party personnel with mental illness, where is it as simple as scaring stupid.

Li Zhan modestly waved his hand and said, "This tactic has no actual combat significance, but it is indeed a very effective offensive means to penetrate the defense at high speed of ultra-low sea skimming." ”

Chatting with Wu Feiyou made Li Zhan feel that he hated seeing each other late, and the regimental chief of staff who flew the patrol plane had extremely high tactical literacy and a very strong sense of attack, and he had a very good appetite for Li Zhan. After chatting for more than half an hour, I learned that Wu Feiyou was originally flying a fighter plane, and after recovering from his injuries in an accident, he changed to flying a transport plane, and later changed to flying a patrol plane after setting up a maritime patrol plane flight regiment.

Relatively speaking, they have more contact with the outside world.

Li Zhan was hungry and learned a lot about the Blues from Wu Feiyou, which will be crucial for his future work.

At around 5 p.m., a Y-8 transport plane carrying maintenance personnel, aviation fuel, and related support equipment landed on the reef. Wu Feiyou's crew, who was overhauling the plane, worked with the crew to refuel and other operations, and Li Zhan couldn't sleep after sleeping for more than an hour, so he simply ran over with Chen Fei to see the situation.

After inquiring and confirming that the relevant support equipment carried over could not support the J-16, Li was a little disappointed. He could only watch as Gaoxin No. 33 quickly regained blood, while Test No. 16 could only continue to wait for the arrival of the nurse. Li Zhan squatted under the unfinished building on the edge of the tarmac, looked at the scorching sun and then at the fighter plane, and shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly, Li Zhan thought of something and asked Chen Fei, who was standing on the side, "You seem to be able to refuel in the air?" ”

"Yes, I passed the assessment last year and got the qualification certificate." Chen Fei said.

Troops, like localities, also have a bunch of this qualification certificate and that skill certificate, such as drivers, Dongfeng military card and tank are two completely different positions, both of which have their own qualifications. Of course, some qualifications are only valid in the army, and they are not recognized when they go out of the army. However, some job qualifications are universal, such as electrical engineers and the like, but these are unified across the country.

The qualification for air refueling is limited to aviation units, and is common to the navy, army, and air force.

Li Zhan rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe we can go back to Zhongnan before dark." ”

He got up and walked briskly towards Gaoxin No. 33.

"Huh? What do you mean? Lao Li? Chen Fei was stunned.

Li Zhan climbed into the cockpit of the Y-8 maritime patrol plane, Wu Feiyou was making preparations before takeoff, Li Zhan asked, "Chief of Staff Wu, you said before that there was a H-6 tanker plane conducting training in this sea area?" ”

"yes." Wu Feiyou raised his wrist to look at the time, nodded his watch and said, "Oh, it should be almost to Jianshe Island by now." Why do you ask this? ”

Li Zhan smiled and said, "You should be able to contact them directly, right?" Help ask if you can refuel me, if it's okay, I'll go, and fly to Jianshe Island no problem. ”

When chatting before, Wu Feiyou said that there was a H-You-6 and two J-8F in the vicinity for long-distance training, and that the H-6 and Wu Feiyou's flight regiment belonged to the same division, and they also radioized each other during patrols to confirm each other's locations, and coordinated a little.

Li Zhan also remembered that the J-16 has the ability to refuel in the air, and Chen Fei flew in the 99th Division of the HNA Su-30MKK, he is very familiar with this fighter, and has obtained the qualification of air refueling.

On the one hand, Li Zhan is still a little worried about the arrival of the typhoon, the number of prototypes of the J-16 is not much, and each one has a specified test flight content, and the premise of ensuring that the troops are equipped according to the time node is that the test flight work is completed as planned. There had been some delays due to the damage to 1616.

On the other hand, it was because Li Zhan also wanted to take this opportunity to learn the skills of refueling in the air. He had been longing for this skill for a long time, and if he hadn't dropped Chengda's landline during the modification training of the Great Red Eagle Division, I am afraid that he would have been able to follow him to the top base to receive in-flight refueling training.

Air refueling is one of the world's most difficult flight subjects, and the air force paid a great price in order to find out a set of practical methods and theories for air refueling. As far as the air force is concerned, there are three major types of aircraft that rank first in the support of fighters, namely, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, and air tankers.

Wu Feiyou hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll contact Bomb Oil Liu, but if you can do it, they probably need to ask their superiors." ”

"No problem." Li Zhan was eager to try.

Wu Feiyou immediately called the bombardment-6, who was on the way back: "Nurse, nurse, I'm Gaoxin Sansan, I received an answer, it's over." ”

With a slight sound of electromagnetic interference, Boom-6 replied with a smile, "Gao Xin Sansan, I'm a wet nurse, what's the instructions, over." ”

Wu Feiyou said, "Nurse, I have a plane here that is not enough fuel, the Air Force plane, can you wait on the construction island to refuel for them, over." ”

"I'll have to ask for instructions, I'll get in touch later, it's over." Boom-6 hesitated for several seconds before replying.

Two minutes later, the Bombardment-6 called, "Gaoxin Sansan, is the plane that needs to be refueled Experiment No. 16?" Complete. ”

Wu Feiyou and Li Zhan glanced at each other and replied, "Yes, it's over." ”

Having entered the cockpit of the Bomber-6 over Jianshe Island, the captain replied to his superiors: "Yes, it's Test 16, it's over." ”

"Approved, stay safe, done." The higher authorities approved the request of the H-6 to hover over the construction island and wait for the "Test 16" fighter.

"Understood!" The captain of the bombardment-6 called Gaoxin No. 33, "Gaoxin Sansan, the superior has approved, I am hovering and waiting in the airspace of Jianshe Island, but I only have three tons of oil in the refueling tank, over." ”

Li Zhan said to Wu Feiyou, "Three tons is enough." ”

Wu Feiyou replied to the bombardment oil-6, "Nurse, three tons is enough, I asked him to contact you directly, the identification code is three, three, two, five, over." ”

"Identification code three, three, two, five, understood."

Li Zhan held Wu Feiyou's hand and said enthusiastically, "Thank you, Chief of Staff Wu, this is a great help, thank you!" ”

"It should be me thank you, if you hadn't arrived in time, I guess I would have been sad about today's confrontation drill with the blue side." Wu Feiyou said with a smile.

Li Zhan said, "Looking forward to the next cooperation." ”

"There's going to be a chance."

Saluted each other, Li Zhan left the plane and immediately greeted Chen Fei: "Prepare to take off!" The tanker was waiting for us on the construction island, and flew back to Zhongnanchang Station directly after refueling! ”

"A tanker? Just the tanker that Chief of Staff Wu mentioned? Chen Fei was stunned.

"Yes, let's get ready, we have to take off in front of the high-tech three, the tanker can't wait for a long time, and they don't have much fuel." Li Zhan jumped into the pickup truck and beckoned the driver to hurry to the office building.

After finding Zhong Guobang and explaining the situation, Zhong Guobang said, "Of course it's best to be able to go, okay, I'll inform them immediately to get ready, go, I'll send you." ”

After taking their flight gear, they quickly returned to the tarmac. The one that said "Please come with me!" The wheeled forklift with the slogan rumbled again, and the driver was even a worker in overalls and wearing a hard hat.

The two soldiers carried the wooden ladder over again, escorting Li Zhan and the two to board, and after they quickly removed the ladder, Li Zhan saw that the renovation workers over there immediately used the ladder. The visual sense of decorating the two-purpose wooden ladder for boarding always feels very novel, and of course, the use of a wheeled forklift as a guide car is also unprecedented.

Li Zhan used the APU to complete the two-engine start, and after checking the various systems, he was secretly relieved, the state of the plane was normal, and there was not even the slightest problem. The precision machinery of the aircraft must be overhauled every time it flies, so Wu Feiyou will not take off until the overhaul is completed, but Li Zhan does not have this condition, so he can only rely on the endurance of the J-16.

Obviously, this time the J-16 is very face-saving.

"Team Leader Li, Head Chen, you have to come and play!" Zhong Guobang beckoned to Li Zhan and Chen Fei and saluted.

Li Zhan quickly changed his salute and said loudly, "Salute to the brothers of the reef guarding troops!" ”

The canopy slowly falls and closes.

Li Zhan pushed the throttle stick and slowly drove to the take-off line of the runway under the guidance of the wheeled forklift, and the construction site at the southern end was temporarily suspended, and the personnel and some instruments and machinery that would affect the take-off of the aircraft were also temporarily pulled aside.

After the wheeled forklift drove away, Zhong Guobang put up a green flag from afar, Li Zhan simply pushed the throttle lever to the end, quickly released the brakes after the rev came up, and the front and rear landing gear tires that had been strengthened and more adapted to the harsh runway began to roll at high speed.

After more than 500 meters of sliding, Li Zhan pulled the lever to lift the nose of the plane, and the No. 1616 J-16 suddenly raised its elevation angle of 45 degrees and climbed up at high speed.

Li Zhan called Wu Feiyou, "Gaoxin Sansan, I'll take the first step, I wish it all the best, it's over!" ”

"The test is six, there will be a period later, I wish it all the best, it's over." Wu Feiyou replied.
