"811, is the ground target training over?" Hu Zhongming's inquiring voice came from the headset.

Yang Luo replied: "Not yet, I just found the target, but because of the increasing rain, I lost the target again." “

"The training has been canceled, I'll return immediately, and I'll arrange a target shooting time for you tomorrow."

Yang Luo said unwillingly: "Commander, let me try again, if there is really no chance, I will return." “

"Okay, you get closer and try it, and we'll talk about how it goes." Hu Zhongming was silent for a while before speaking. It is also considering that Yang Luo's two target shots did not go well, and this time he hit a random target to give him a chance, if it is a fixed target, don't even think about it, and return obediently.

There are two kinds of ground targets, one is the current random mode, when hitting the target, the height is limited to 1,000 meters, and the distance is not limited.

The other is a fixed target, the pilot knows the location of the target in advance, and the altitude and distance are limited, sometimes the altitude is 1,500 meters, and the distance is 2,000 meters; Sometimes it's 1,000 meters high and 2,500 meters away. The height and distance given for each target are different, depending on the area of the target.

The results of the two types of target shooting are also calculated differently.

The farther the distance hits, the higher the score; The fixed target can be hit, that is, a full score, and a zero score for off-target.

The ground target training of the aviation unit is a combination of two kinds of mutual use: fixed target training to hit, and random target training to search and hit.

Moreover, in a real war, the enemy's location may not be known, and some targets will not be fixed in a certain place waiting for you to fight, and you need to search for them, so the training of random targets has always been the top priority.

This is only the training method of the second-generation aircraft to hit the ground target, and the training method of the third-generation aircraft and the fourth-generation aircraft to fight ammunition with seeker is different, so I will not repeat it here.

Yang Luo's idea was to get closer and fight again, even if the final result was not satisfactory, he would admit it, anyway, he was going to throw six rockets out.

Of course, if you can't even see the indicator light in the air, and you can't lock it, Yang Luo has no choice but to return home with a bomb.

Press the rod, reduce the altitude to a kilometer, fly in the direction of the indicator light, and don't want to play high-altitude dive target, for Yang Luo, it is OK to find the target and hit it.

Concentrate your eyes on the instrument cluster and in front of the windshield, paying attention to the flight attitude while searching for the indicator light, expecting to see the light.

After flying a few hundred meters, Yang Luo once again saw the indicator light, looming in the rain, like a small flame that was about to be extinguished at any time.

Yang Luo didn't dare to hesitate, the helmet sight locked, and the thumb of his right hand was placed on the launch button at the top of the joystick, and he pressed it hard.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.

Rockets, fire!

"Whoosh ......"

The HF-16A rocket launcher on the left wing was energized and activated, and the engines of the six rockets ignited, shooting out one after another like arrows from the string, dragging a long tail flame through the dense rain, and hitting the target along the predetermined trajectory.

Suddenly, the first rocket hit the ground, the warhead activated, and exploded on the ground, bursting into a violent fire, which was particularly conspicuous and clear in the rainy night.

After the first rocket hit the ground and exploded, the remaining six rockets fell one after another, forming a sea of fire on the ground, which gradually extinguished in the rain.

Yang Luo slammed the lever and raised his head after firing six rockets, the throttle valve pushed to the end, and the 811 Jianjiao-7 roared and climbed.

What the result was, Yang Luo didn't know, he had to wait for the field service to report the target.

"Tower, 811 has completed ground target shooting training, request to return, over." Yang Luo reported to the tower that he was very happy now, and he finally played out, and he didn't run in vain.

Hu Zhongming replied: "811, you can return, pay attention to the height of the clouds, over." “

"811 Roger, over."

Turning on the afterburner device, Yang Luo directly rushed back to the station in the heavy rain at supersonic speed.

"It was a good fight." Ye Jianlong, who was sitting in the rear cabin, witnessed Yang Luo's launch process with his own eyes and praised him.

Yang Luo smiled: "The results should not be very good, it was too close at that time." “

"Don't worry, as long as you don't miss the target, the results shouldn't be bad." Ye Jianlong said with a smile.

It's good to be able to find a target and launch it in the rain, but the result will be evaluated separately according to the situation at the time, and it is impossible to give a result according to normal weather conditions.

The supersonic flight soon reached the airspace above the station. The rain is still falling, and although the raindrops are not large, they are getting denser and denser.

The cockpit glass is coated with a water-repellent coating, which will not collect rainwater, and even if the rain is heavier, there is a water removal device, but there is no need to worry about rainwater adsorbed on the cockpit glass.

However, with today's rain intensity, it is certain that the line of sight will be affected, and there is no reference in the air, and it is not known how far the visibility will be.

Lowering the altitude to 1,000 meters, looking down from the air, you can only see the lights in the station area, which is incompatible with the surrounding darkness, but you can't see the specific location of the runway.

"The line of sight is blocked, and it seems that I can only descend blindly." Yang Luo said in his heart, and controlled the Jianjiao-7 to continue to approach the station.

The so-called blind landing, officially known as the instrument landing system, is that the pilot assists the aircraft to land through machinery and equipment when the airport runway cannot be seen clearly by the naked eye.

If the aircraft is equipped with an autopilot system, the autopilot system can complete actions such as aligning the runway and subsequent landing. But obviously, the J-7 does not have an autopilot system, and the instrument landing system can only provide assistance, and the real operation still needs to be performed by the pilot.

Contacting the tower, Yang Luo shouted: "Tower, 811 has arrived, request to land." ”

Hu Zhongming replied: "The tower received, the wind direction is 145, the wind speed is 6 meters and seconds, the field pressure is 1010, the visibility is 650 meters, 811, can the landing be completed?" ”

"Tower, I can." Yang Luo was sure of the authenticity, and his tone did not hesitate.

"The ground equipment has been turned on, and it landed on runway 2, and it was not sure that it would immediately return to fly during the landing process, and the control was handed over to the rear cabin Ye Stegosaurus." Hu Zhongming said, there was a Ye Jianlong sitting in the back cabin, and he didn't have the slightest worry about this landing.

"811 understood, over."

"Okay, the ground is slippery, pay attention to the glide distance, 811 can land, over."

Fly through the second turn, lower the landing gear, get the tower to prompt the landing gear to lower normally, and then turn a 90-degree angle to align with the direction of the runway.

When the instrument landing system is turned on, the aircraft receives the beam from the ground equipment, and the beam is a fan with a small angle, which gives a hint of the course.

Yang Luo ignored the other vertical beam, it was enough to have a horizontal heading prompt, and the runway of the airport was long enough to taxi enough.

Slightly adjusting the course, pressing the rod and lowering its head, the Jianjiao-7 went straight to the ground runway.

For civil airliners, blind landing is a very dangerous thing, and in order to ensure safety, you must be prepared on the ground.

But for fighters, blind landing is really not a difficult task, unless visibility is very low. With the performance of a fighter jet, visibility of 650 meters, even if the instrument landing system is not turned on, most pilots can land safely, and it is a big deal to go back and do it again. Turn on the instrument landing system, just so that you don't have to go around and can land at one time.

After the altitude of the Jianjiao-7 was reduced to 500 meters, the runway could already be seen, and the dense rain could not block the view.

Yang Luo stared at the runway in front of him, the nose of the plane was already aimed at the runway, and there was no need to change the course of the go-around.

The Jianjiao-7 raised its head slightly, the main landing gear and the runway were in contact, and the high-performance aviation tires taxied at high speed on the runway, splashing the sky and forming a mist behind the tail.

Immediately after that, the nose landing gear was lowered and braked.

It was very troublesome to collect the deceleration parachute on a rainy day, so Yang Luo did not release the deceleration parachute, and only relied on the braking system to brake.

Parking Jianjiao-7 in the hangar, Yang Luo and Ye Jianlong got off the plane and got into the commuter car with a smile.

Although Hangar No. 1 is not far from the place where the equipment is changed, and most of them usually walk, because of the rain, a commuter bus was arranged to be responsible for the pick-up.
