"It is said that the collapse of pilots starts with borrowing planes, and this is true. There is no such thing as easy in the world of combat pilots. ”

Li Zhan stood in the corridor in front of the office and looked out of the field, the cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but wrap himself in a desert camouflage army coat.

"That sounds familiar, isn't that what you said?" Nie Jianfeng, who was also standing on the side, said.

Li Zhan said, "That's what I said. ”

Nie Jianfeng smiled, "Do you think the three hundred divisions will borrow it?" ”

"It's hard to judge." Li Zhan's gaze crossed the outfield to the snow-capped Beiku Mountains in the distance, "Sometimes it's not bad to think about not flying a plane, do political work, don't worry so much, life has to be more regular." ”

Nie Jianfeng said, "I don't believe in the punctuation marks of your words. ”

"Really." Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "I mean seriously. Money is inexhaustible, and it's not worth fighting with your body. When I first drove the J-7, I envied the J-8 and the Su 27, and now I am envious of the J-11, and when I get the J-11, I should envy the fourth-generation aircraft. Sometimes it's really unnecessary to think about it, and if you have more money and less money, you won't be able to get by? No, being a human being is such a thing, and being content is always happy. ”

Nie Jianfeng directly ignored these words and said, "If you don't borrow the three hundred divisions, what are you going to do?" Open the Seven? Or take the risk of opening a hole with the number Su Liangqi? ”

"Before the manufacturer issued a report, Su Liangqi could not leave the maintenance station. Jian-7...... The superiors need me to take to the air, not to mention the J-7, if you pull out the J-6 Plus from the combat readiness warehouse, I will also drive it. Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "We can't be soldiers who are picky and selective of the equipment in our hands, and if we have the conditions, we must go to the conditions and create the conditions." ”

Nie Jianfeng said, "Speaking of which, it is still inseparable from flying. If you are really transferred to a political work post, I dare to guarantee that you will not be able to survive a day. ”

"Don't underestimate people, I can carry it for at least three days." Li Zhan said.

……

Nie Jianfeng waved his hand, then stretched out his hand with his palm facing up, and the snowflakes fell on the palm of his hand, "Heaven is not beautiful, and the matter of job rotation has to be postponed." ”

The first heavy snowfall of 2011 began yesterday, and today, all access roads in and out of the North Kuba Station have been blocked by heavy snowfall, and the mountain is closed again. Of course, the relevant support units and units will do their utmost to open up roads and railways to ensure that the channels for combat readiness are unimpeded.

Li Zhan said: "Combat training under low weather conditions was conducted last year, and the brigade is experienced, and all pilots have this ability. You keep an eye on it, and if the conditions allow, just do it according to the plan. ”

"What about you, why are you going, you really want to do political work?" Nie Jianfeng asked with a smile.

Li Zhan looked at the time, "I have other tasks, it's almost over, you go and get busy." ”

"Okay." Nie Jianfeng left.

Li Zhan waited for a while before going downstairs, bypassing the organ building and heading to a small two-story bunker-style building not far away that was completed at the end of last year, where Zhu Wei was already waiting.

"Captain, Lieutenant Colonel Lu, they've arrived." Zhu Wei reported in a low voice.

"Let's go."

Li Zhan and Zhu Wei went to the basement, which was actually a complete underground fortification. The two floors of the building on the ground add up to less than 400 square meters, but the underground part is more than 1,000 square meters. This is the ground technical support center of the North Library Nighthawk. The technical support of the squadron of the Nighthawk Independent Tactical Reconnaissance Regiment stationed in Beiku is completed here, all kinds of information obtained from reconnaissance are interpreted here, orders are issued here, and tasks are formulated here.

Zhu Wei is stationed in Beiku as the chief of staff of the Nighthawk Independent Tactical Reconnaissance Regiment, and is specifically responsible for the management and use of the four J-8FRs. The day-to-day management is in charge of the 101st Brigade, and the operational command is Zhu Wei. However, because of Li Zhan's special status, and the first commander of the Nighthawk Tactical Reconnaissance Unit, he has the most experience in the use of the J-8FR, and he is a figure like the father of the Nighthawk, so Zhu Wei attaches great importance to Li Zhan's suggestions and opinions in terms of training.

"I heard that the problem with the flight control system of your landline has not been found, and you are facing a situation where the machine is not available. Captain, it's better for you to drive for a while. Zhu Wei laughed in a low voice.

Li Zhan said, "It's okay, the manufacturer's technicians have arrived, and it should be possible to find out." ”

Zhu Wei's voice became lower, and he walked down the stairs side by side with Li Zhan, and said, "Didn't you buy a villa at home, and the pressure of repaying the loan just by your salary should be quite great if you can't go up during the flight, right?" I can issue a letter of secondment in the name of the squadron, and I won't let you do it in vain like I did last time. ”

"Lao Zhu, don't talk about it, it's not a matter of trolley fees." Li Zhan shook his head solemnly.

Zhu Wei said in a low voice, "The superior has raised the standard of the tie rod fee for us, and it will be 1,21 hours starting this year." ”

"What?" Li Zhan was taken aback, and stopped and stared at Zhu Wei.

"One thousand two." Zhu Wei was so smiling that he couldn't see his eyes.

Li Zhan heard it clearly, it was actually one thousand two, and he was very surprised, "Isn't this higher than Su two, seven, and ten?" Can't you? ”

"Really." Zhu Wei said mysteriously, "We are also engaged in electronic reconnaissance now." ”

Li Zhan's eyes were rolling and his heart was moving. One thousand two This is the standard of the SU-30MKK, his apprentice Yao Dongming called him to pay New Year's greetings, he asked, Yao Dongming flew more than 300 hours last year, and the small 400,000 arrived. His flight time is twice as long as Yao Dongming's, but the rod fee is not proportional. For this reason, he sighed for a while.

Sure enough, the richer the richer, the more effort the poor need to put in.

"Well, I'll send a letter to the brigade later." Zhu Wei said.

Li Zhan really wanted to agree, one thousand two, what do you want a third-generation aircraft, but he finally shook his head slowly but firmly, and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, the team has a heavy task, and I can't leave my post for too long." ”

"Well, there are too few people who are so strong-willed, Captain, you are one of them, I admire it." Zhu Wei said sincerely.

Li Zhan waved his hand with a sad face.

When I got underground, I turned around a few corners and came to the data room, where Lieutenant Colonel Lu from a certain army department and a man of the same age in civilian clothes were whispering something inside.

"Li Zhan, meet again." Lieutenant Colonel Lu got up and shook hands with Li Zhan.

Li Zhan was surprised, "Good chief!" It's you! ”

At that time, when Sanhe was fighting floods, the lieutenant colonel officer who gave Li Zhan the order to drive the J-8FR to blow up the flood outlet was this lieutenant colonel Lu. I didn't expect to meet it again in Beiku after two years.

"Let me introduce, this is Comrade Fan Zengsheng, an engineer from the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping." Lieutenant Colonel Lu introduced the man in civilian clothes to Li Zhan.

Fan Zengsheng lifted his glasses and shook hands with Li Zhan with some restraint, "Hello Captain Li." ”

"Hello Fan Gong."

Lieutenant Colonel Lu said, "Let's talk about the mission." ”

Motioning for everyone to sit down, Lieutenant Colonel Lu pointed to the map of the Beiku area on the table and said, "This time the main purpose is to assist the Surveying and Mapping Bureau in carrying out surveying and mapping, and the survey work on the ground has already begun, and our army units will provide assistance, and the aerial surveying and mapping will depend on you." Fan Gong should tell us more about the situation. ”

It turned out to be to engage in topographic mapping.

There is a class of little-known units in the army sequence, and even most of the officers and soldiers in the army are unaware of their existence. The surveying unit is one of them. The Bureau of Surveying and Mapping is a unit directly under the General Headquarters and is responsible for drawing all operational maps of the whole army, and the standards are also formulated by them. As we all know, the map must be the most important prop in the classic picture that reflects the decisive victory of our army commander thousands of miles away. For decades, paper operational maps were the most important basis for commanders to direct operations.

The level of secrecy of electronic-related units, such as the radar unit and the electro-reactor unit, is very high, and it is the first category of secrecy units in the military. In the eyes of many officers and soldiers, these units are mysterious enough, but compared with the surveying and mapping units, they are one level behind.

In some columns, you can see the equipment of mobile radar vehicles, communication vehicles, and even electronic countermeasures units, but even if they are pulled out for display, they must be tightly covered.

On the other hand, one of the most important criteria for judging whether country A wants to go to war against country B is whether country A has begun to carry out targeted mapping of the terrain of the relevant area. In the 60s, before the start of the war, a certain country used all means to quietly figure out the topography of the relevant area, and took advantage of the opportunity of military exchanges to reconnoiter the current situation of the opponent's troops and gain an accurate understanding of the opponent's strength. Therefore, in the later war, they swept the other side devastatingly.

Generally speaking, topographic mapping is very, very important, even if the future satellite network system can give commanders real-time topographic information, but as an important second means, it is very important to maintain the stable update of paper combat maps.

Fan Zengsheng said, "According to the instructions of the superiors, we have to do a comprehensive update of the map we are using. With the rapid development of the localities, the topography and topography of many areas have undergone great changes, and many of the maps used by the troops have lost their accuracy, and the troops have reacted very strongly, especially on the side of the army. I am mainly responsible for the mapping of the Beiku area, the western part of the Beiku Mountains, and the northern part of the Beiku Mountains. The range is very large, and it mainly relies on Captain Li to conduct aerial mapping. ”

Li Zhan looked at Lieutenant Colonel Lu and said, "Helicopters are more suitable for topographic surveying and mapping, Zhu Wei's speed is too fast, and it is really not possible to use a small transport plane than a small transport plane." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Lu said, "Fan Gong is an expert in topographic surveying, and he knows the situation very well. If you look at the western and northern parts of the Beiku Mountains, it's all uninhabited areas, and the situation is complicated. Helicopters and transport planes are not suitable, only your fighters can be used. ”

Li Zhan nodded thoughtfully, and when he looked at the map again, he already understood what Lieutenant Colonel Lu meant. Finding him naturally asked him for help, and asked him to help solve any problems, and he also figured it out at this time.

"Xiao Li, Zhu Wei, they are responsible for aerial surveying and mapping, and your task is to ensure the smooth progress of surveying and mapping. Tell us what you think. Lieutenant Colonel Lu asked directly.

Li Zhan quickly had a rough plan in mind, and he said, "Let's conduct a coordinated training, and the reconnaissance plane will carry out tactical reconnaissance in depth against the enemy under the cover of fighter planes." ”

In the second half of the year, the Eagle Falcon Brigade will carry out training in this subject with the Beiku Nighthawk Squadron. Just like the Army's infantry and tank cooperative training, exercise the cooperative combat ability between the arms.

"Probably not enough." Lieutenant Colonel Lu shook his head slightly and said, "Is there any better way to deal with emergencies?" I mean, it's absolutely important to make sure that the mapping works smoothly. We can only do aerial mapping once. Time is tight, and I know you're a tactician and you have a solution. ”

Li Zhan pondered, and couldn't help but pick up the Lanzhou in front of Lieutenant Colonel Lu and smoke it.

The good ventilation system quickly expelled the smoke, but the others also lit cigarettes and smoked, and they didn't dare to do anything for fear of affecting Li Zhan's thinking.

The map tiled on the desktop shows the year 1966, which is too old to be old. Obviously, the replacement of the paper combat map system is imminent, and the importance of this work cannot be overstated.

To absolutely ensure the smooth completion of the aerial mapping work, the difficulty lies in the western part of the Beiku Mountains. Li Zhan is very familiar with the situation over there and knows the situation very well. He conducted several live-fire training sessions there, and the most recent live-fire training on air-to-ground missiles with Yuan Boning and the others was also conducted there. He probably knew best how complicated the situation was in that area.

It is precisely because of this that Lieutenant Colonel Lu and they will find Li Zhan.

The J-8FR has to carry out aerial mapping, which means that it has to constantly change the flight altitude and flight speed, and even has to fly repeatedly in certain areas in order to obtain the most accurate data. In such a complex mountainous area, low-altitude flight itself is extremely risky, not to mention the existence of simulated blue army targets in those mountain caves, and safety is the first priority.

After smoking two cigarettes, Li Zhan had a complete plan of action, and he said in a deep voice, "We are going to compete for posts, and the assessment content is comprehensive training in resisting penetrating ground strikes and air cover under low weather conditions. Put aerial mapping into our assessment, and I will use all the Su 27 to provide you with eight hours of cover, and at least two Su 27 will be arranged to escort the Jian-8 reconnaissance and reconnaissance 8. In addition, I will arrange for one or two fighters to simulate the target in order to deal with other unexpected situations that may arise. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Lu pondered it again and again, and said, "Okay, I agree to this plan." ”

Fan Zengsheng asked, "Can you fly in the current weather?" ”

"In a hurry?" Li Zhan asked.

Fan Zengsheng said, "I'm not in a hurry for a day or two, but this time I mainly want winter data." The worse the weather, the better. ”

"Fan Gong, can your surveying and mapping equipment work in bad weather? There is still a big difference between the bad weather in the mountains and the so-called bad weather in the plains. Zhu Wei frowned and asked.

Fan Zengsheng said with a smile, "I have been to the western and northern regions of the Beiku Mountains twice, and one of them was entered in this season, so I still have some understanding of the situation. The equipment is completely fine, and our mapping pods can work in extremely cold temperatures of minus 60 degrees. ”

Li Zhan and Zhu Wei were suddenly in awe.

They had all flown over, but measuring the complex mountainous area with their feet was no longer something that they fighter pilots could have a clear idea of. Fan Zengsheng, who looked at Wenwen's weak technology, was actually the one who had conquered the most complex area of the terrain in the Beiku Mountains with his feet.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu asked Li Zhan, "Xiao Li, can you fly the plane to carry out the surveying and mapping mission?" ”

"This ......" Li Zhan hesitated for a moment, but finally resisted the temptation and said, "This is not suitable, the Nighthawk Squadron is fully capable of completing this task." I, as for me, I'm in command from the air. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Lu naturally didn't know what the rod cost was, he nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "That's fine, I'm much relieved to have you in the air." ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Lu, since it is confirmed, I will go to prepare immediately, apply to the military region, and report to the air division." Li Zhan stood up and said.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu got up and said, "Okay, the sooner the better, I'll invite you to drink when the task is completed." ”

"Readers don't drink, forget it."
