On October 7th, there was light snow, with a maximum temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a minimum temperature of minus 5 degrees.

This year's snow came earlier than usual, and the snow in Shuangshan City has always fallen after October 15th, but this year it began to fall on October 7th, more than a week earlier.

When I woke up, I was covered in silver, and there were still snowflakes flying in the air, fluttering down, rendering the world into a white expanse.

As a southerner, although Yang Luo has been in the north for four years, he is still not very comfortable with the dry and cold in the north, and he is okay in the house, there is heating, but when he goes outside, he can't wait to wrap the quilt around his body.

Northerners rely on heating for the winter, and southerners rely on righteousness for the winter.

Yang Luo is used to the winter in the south, the same temperature indoors and outdoors, if you want to be stylish, you can wear less stiffness, or wear more clothes. In the north, indoor and outdoor are a heaven and a place, if you want to go out, you have to grit your teeth, dare to go out ruthlessly, and wear less God will teach you to be a man in minutes.

Yang Luo couldn't wait to stay in the apartment and not go out, but no, no matter how cold the weather was in the army, there had to be training. In particular, in the air force, training under complex meteorological conditions has always been a key training subject, and snow weather is one of them, not to mention that Yang Luo still has a task today, and he has to go to the Anxian station.

Yang Luo left the apartment with courage, a biting cold hit, and suddenly walked from the warm indoor to the cold outside, which made him shiver, and after grinning his teeth, he slightly adapted to the cold outside.

Standing in the snowflakes flying in the sky, looking at the trees in the green belt on both sides of the road are wrapped in white snowflakes, and the ground is also covered with a thick layer of snowflakes, overnight, this world has become a white world, and Yang Luo can't help but remind Yang Luo of a famous poem: "Suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms." ”

Arrive at the airfield in a commuter van with snowplows at work on the runway, sprinkled with industrial salt to melt the snow and ice. Civil aviation airports may be closed directly on snowy days, but military stations cannot be closed, and fighters must always be kept ready to take off at any time, unless the snow is too big to take off.

There is also a heating supply in the combat readiness duty room, but when Yang Luo walked into the combat readiness duty room, there was no severe cold, it was very warm, and a sense of happiness suddenly rose in his heart.

The flight gear in winter is different from that in summer, with more warmth, gloves are replaced with leather warm gloves with a thick layer of fluff, and anti-load suits are also replaced with warm ......

After changing into flight equipment, they waited for a while in the combat readiness duty room, and the other pilots who were going to the Anxian station together arrived.

This time, the head of the Anxian station was led by the regiment commander Hu Zhongming, and the members were Yang Luo, Ye Jianlong, one person from the first brigade and three squadrons, two people from the second brigade, and two people from the 121st regiment, a total of eight people. Among them, Yang Luo and the seven of them all clearly obtained military merits in the confrontation drill in September, and at the same time, the 122nd Regiment won a collective first-class merit, and the Dongling Station won a collective second-class merit, all of which were received by Hu Zhongming.

Unless they make an irreparable mistake, they will generally have military merits as long as they participate in the exercise, and the number of meritorious services depends on the ability of their respective units.

The confrontation drill between the 31 st Division can also be regarded as a small-scale exercise, after all, it is decided by the theater and the air division, and naturally the credit will not be less. The 122nd Regiment won the first place, which was a collective first-class merit, while the 121st Regiment and the 123rd Regiment were both collective second-class merits, and at the same time, the three stations also had a collective merit, all of which were second-class merits.

In such a small-scale military exercise, the chances of an individual attaining military merits are greatly increased, and the eyes of the higher-level leaders can be placed on specific individuals, while in large-scale military exercises, it is very difficult for individuals to have military merits, and basically they are collective military merits.

Yang Luo was able to obtain first-class merit, and it was collected in early September for two performances, which made the heads of the theater and the air division see in their eyes, and the flight data at that time was not only used for review in the regiment, but also presented level by level, all the way to the theater headquarters and the air division.

There are a lot of pilots who can penetrate at low altitudes, even faster, and at lower altitudes, but there are very few pilots who dare to penetrate at low altitudes in the dimly lit early morning.

……

After Hu Zhongming changed into flight equipment, Hu Zhongming clapped his hands and said happily: "Come here and arrange a take-off plan." ”

Of the three regiments, only the 122nd Regiment led by himself won the first-class merit, and there were five people under him who won personal military merits, and at the same time, there was one person in the three major teams stationed in the 121st Regiment for training, a total of six people won personal military merits, which made it impossible for Hu Zhongming to be unhappy, and this was all capital for future promotion.

Except for the four-person group on combat readiness duty, the other seven people gathered around Hu Zhongming to listen to instructions.

"Because of the snow, in order to ensure safety, we took off alone, after takeoff, the heading was 230, climbed to 10,000 meters and circled in the air, waiting for others to converge in formation, after takeoff, everyone's call frequency was adjusted to two, four, five and six. I was the first to take off, Ye Jianlong, Yang Luo...... You take off in order, and the formation is in a horizontal formation, from left to right, you also follow the order, understand? ”

"Understood."

The crowd replied loudly.

"Okay, let's go." Hu Zhongming said in high spirits.

Eight people rushed out and boarded the commuter bus parked outside the combat readiness duty room to go to the hangar.

In the No. 1 hangar, the No. 801 J-7G belonging to Yang Luo has been prepared. Follow the procedure, inspect the aircraft, and then board the aircraft.

After turning on the avionics and turning on the radio communication system, Yang Luo sat quietly in the cockpit and waited for the instructions from the tower.

After Ye Jianlong slid out and the tower ordered to take off, the instructions of the tower also sounded in his ears: "801, you can slide out, take off at runway 1, over." ”

"801 Roger, over."

Yang Luo signaled to the aircraft maintenance, and then the aircraft maintenance, wearing a winter military coat and wearing a striking yellow vest, waved a flag, indicating that it could slide out.

As the throttle valve was pushed up, jet fuel was injected into the combustion chamber, and the roar of the aircraft engine in the idle state intensified, pushing the J-7G, which weighed eight tons, slowly drove out of the hangar.

Along the towpath, Yang Luo controlled the entire J-7G to drive to the runway with a layer of industrial salt de-icing in front.

Snowflakes fluttered and fell on the fuselage, melting in an instant. When the fighter is in the hangar, the fuselage is sprayed with de-icing liquid, forming a thin film on the fuselage, which can prevent the fuselage from icing within a certain time limit, and there is another set of de-icing devices on the fighter.

"Call the tower, this is 801, request to take off, over." Entering the main runway, Yang Luo followed the operation process and asked the tower for instructions to take off.

"The tower received, the weather is light snow, the ground wind direction is 280, the wind speed is 4 meters second, the gust is 6 meter second, the field pressure is 1002, you can take off, over." After receiving the request, the tower immediately replied, and after instructing Yang Luo to take off, it immediately issued instructions to the next plane that was ready to take off to taxi out.

"801 received, ready to take off, over." After Yang Luo answered, he did not hesitate, let go of the brake, pushed the throttle valve up, and faced the windy and snowy runway ahead.

The J-7G accelerated from slow to fast on the runway, the aviation tires on the belly landing gear rotated at high speed, and the ice water melted by industrial salt raised a large mist behind the tail with the rotation of the aviation tires.

Thousands of hexagonal snowflakes flew in the sky, like white petals, falling on the cockpit glass and melting into water.

Facing the wind and snow, accelerate and take off.

It was the first time for Yang Luo to fly in the snow at Dongling Station, but it was not the first time to fly in the snow, the Haicheng training base also belongs to the north, and there will always be a few snows every year.

Don't say that today's light snow does not meet the standard of complex meteorological conditions, even if it reaches the standard of complex meteorological conditions, Yang Luo has flown over, what is the fear of light snow.

Watching the snowflakes flying outside the cockpit glass, controlling the fighter plane to glide at high speed.

Reaching take-off speed, the No. 801 J-7G leaped into the air with snowflakes.

Yang Luo subconsciously looked at the ground, and the crystal snowflakes fell one after another, covering up the original color of the loess, decorating the world in white, wrapped in silver, and extremely enchanting.

After takeoff, put the landing gear away, adjust the frequency to the scheduled two, four, five, six, adjust the heading 230, and then continue to climb with the lever.

Passing through the weak clouds, climbing to an altitude of 10,000 meters, suddenly the sun's rays fell on the clouds, and were reflected higher in the sky.

Above and below the clouds are two extreme worlds, with snowflakes falling below and radiant above.

Hu Zhongming and Ye Jianlong have already formed a team and are circling.

"818, 802, I'm going to join the formation." The plane flew towards the two people who had already formed a team, and Yang Luo reminded loudly.

No. 818 is the aircraft of the regiment commander Hu Zhongming, which is also a J-7G. The fighter numbers of the 122nd Regiment are from 801 to 850, and the general distinction is that from 801 to 816 is the number of the first brigade, 817 to 834 is the number of the second brigade, and from 835 onwards is the number of the three major teams.

Basically, the number used by everyone is from the beginning, and no one changes it in order to ask for a number that is in the precedent, just like Hu Zhongming, the first time he flew J-7G, it was No. 818, when he was the captain of the second brigade, and he chose such a meaningful number, even if he became the commander of the regiment, it is still used today. This is also why Yang Luo can fly the No. 801 fighter, while Ye Jianlong, as the captain of a large team, flies No. 802.

"801, we know, we can join in." Hu Zhongming responded.

After Yang Luo joined the formation, the remaining five fighters joined the formation one after another, and then Hu Zhongming ordered: "Everyone pay attention, the course is 230, the altitude is maintained at 10,000 meters, and the speed is 900 kilometers per hour. ”

"XXX received."

The crowd responded.

After Yang Luo responded, he slowly pushed the throttle valve up, lifted the speed, and finally stabilized the speed at 900 kilometers per hour.

Eight planes formed a horizontal formation and flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters toward the Anxian Field Station, several hundred kilometers away, leaving in the air a cloud of eight planes' trails.
