August 1st, Army Day.

Cloudy to light to moderate rain with a maximum temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a minimum temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, southwest wind with a wind speed of 4.

In the army, Army Day is a very important holiday, and it is basically celebrated on this day.

But in the 122nd regiment it was a busy scene.

Today, Luo Chengbin, deputy head of the training regiment, will take the three major teams of eleven J-7G to transfer to the North Tower for training, because the 845 is still under maintenance, so there is one less. A brigade of the 121st Regiment will be transferred from the North Tower Field Station to the main field for training, accompanied by the deputy commander of the 121st Regiment and a division leader.

The 31st Division implemented a rotational training system, with three regiments stationed at three stations. When changing guards for training, according to the arrangements of the division headquarters, one or two brigades will be dispatched, and the deputy regiment commander will lead the team to transfer to the field, and the training time will be uncertain, maybe three months, half a year, or even a year.

In this training, the three teams led by Luo Chengbin will stay in the North Tower Field for five months and will return to the field before the end of the year.

The first brigade and the second brigade are on holiday today, except for the four people on combat readiness duty, of course.

During the holidays, Yang Luo still went to Ma Haijun to learn aircraft maintenance.

Ye Jianlong's 802 has been repaired and dragged back to Hangar No. 1, leaving only 845 still in the repair shop.

Replacing an aero engine is a big project, not a matter of one or two days, plus the installation of commissioning, test flight, it will take at least ten days.

Others can take a holiday, but the repair team headed by the Ma Navy cannot, and 845 is still waiting to change the defense and garrison training.

At nine o'clock, 11 planes of the 122nd Regiment plus one plane from Deputy Regiment Commander Luo Chengbin, a total of 12 planes left the field in a four-plane formation and flew to the North Tower for training.

More than an hour later, 13 planes of the 121st Regiment landed at Dongling Field Station and officially began a five-month training for the change of guard station.

"Let's go, follow me to Hangar Six." Ma Haijun put down the work in his hand and said.

"Old squad leader, what are we doing in Hangar No. 6? Didn't the planes of the three major teams fly away? Yang Luo was puzzled.

"The 121st regiment has 4 J-10Bs, and I have to go for maintenance." Ma Haijun said, "By the way, I will take you to see the J-10B, without me, you can't get in." “

Yang Luo is very diligent these days, and he comes to study whenever he has time. In this regard, Ma Haijun is very satisfied, at least his attitude is very good.

"Old squad leader, will you still maintain the J-10B?" Yang Luo was surprised, he couldn't believe it.

The 122nd regiment did not have a J-10B, and a maintenance officer came out saying that he was going to maintain the J-10B, and no one dared to believe it.

"I have been doing aircraft maintenance for more than 20 years, and I can maintain many models, J-6, J-7, J-7, J-8, J-10B, J-10S." Ma Haijun pointed to the rank on his shoulder and said, "With my military rank, I said that I want to learn to maintain the J-10, can I not arrange it in the division and regiment?" “

Yang Luo was speechless, just like the old man in ancient times, the older he was, the less he was constrained. And when you become a soldier and become a soldier ancestor, as long as you don't go out of line, you can do whatever you want.

The commuter bus took the two all the way to Hangar Six.

There are four silver-gray painted J-10Bs parked on the tarmac outside the hangar, the pilot has disappeared, and the maintenance staff is towing one of them into the hangar with a tractor.

The rounded and sharp nose with a long radar antenna embedded in it, a teardrop-shaped glass cockpit, a mid-range coupling movable canard, a large triangular main wing, and the six stick-shaped spoilers on the belly, the fuselage is painted in silver-gray color.

The official code name of the J-10 is "Raptor", but the nickname at the beginning in foreign countries is "Firefly", which can be said to be full of insults, and as the combat effectiveness of the J-10 was revealed, it was changed to "Firebird".

But Yang Luo's favorite is the nickname given by domestic netizens, which comes from the nickname of the six stick-shaped spoilers - "villain".

The word villain, which is interpreted as a person who does mischief and evil, is not a positive word.

But Yang Luo, it should be said that everyone in China hopes that the J-10 can live up to its name and become a villain among fighters.

Yang Luo jumped out of the car, walked to the side of one of the J-10Bs with the nose number 005, stroked excitedly, and gently brushed his fingertips across the surface of the fuselage.

It feels amazing.

This is the first time that Yang Luo has had such close contact with the J-10B fighter.

Once he also had the opportunity to fly the J-10B, but unfortunately by mistake he was assigned to the 122nd Regiment and missed the J-10B.

The maintenance and security personnel did not care about Yang Luo, and they trusted the person brought by the first-class sergeant major of the Ma Navy.

"How does it feel?" Ma Haijun walked up to Yang Luo and asked.

"It's good, it's beautiful." Yang Luo replied.

"It's the first time you've seen the real thing, right?" Ma Haijun then asked.

"When I flew solo, I saw it once at Beitachang Station."

Retracted the hand that was stroking the fuselage, and after the excitement, returned to calm, no matter how good it was, it was someone else's, and it was not your own after all.

Turning around, he looked at Ma Haijun and asked the question he had been puzzled about for a few days: "Old squad leader, a few days ago I saw a J-7G of the 123rd Regiment in the No. 4 airspace, didn't they modify the J-10B?" How come there are still people flying J-7G? “

"Reimburse the 845 flight?"

"Hmm."

"The 121st and 123rd regiments did modify the J-10B, but the number was limited, and each regiment was only equipped with a brigade of twelve aircraft, and the rest were J-7G." Ma Haijun explained, "How long has the J-10B been produced now, and a large number of troops are waiting, how can the whole regiment be modified at once." “

"I see." Yang Luo suddenly realized that he had always misunderstood.

Yang Luo once read an Internet message, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, saying that the official mass production of the J-10B was in November of 14. If the news is true, the production time has been less than two years so far, and the production is really small.

Moreover, it is impossible to supply only one division of the aircraft produced, but must also supply other troops. The 31st Division can be divided into two groups of J-10Bs, which is already very good.

"Okay, I've seen it, I've touched it, and I'm going to work." Ma Haijun said, turning around and walking towards the hangar.

Entering the hangar, Ma Haijun handed Yang Luo a metal flaw detector and said, "The work of detecting metal dark injuries will be handed over to you, is there a problem?" “

Yang Luo shook his head and said, "No problem." “

This job is relatively simple, Yang Luo has learned it, and it is also one of the few maintenance jobs he can do now.

There is nothing difficult in detecting dark metal damage, only carefulness.

After taking the metal flaw detector and activating it, Yang Luo began to carefully probe and inspect to see if there were any metal dark injuries.

Start with the left wing, the tail, fuselage, landing gear......

Wherever there is metal, not an inch is spared.

The maintenance work is so rigorous and demanding.

Compared with Yang Luo's metal flaw detection work, Ma Haijun is much more complicated, checking the landing gear, engine, and various instruments......

All kinds of professional instruments, some of which Yang Luo doesn't recognize.

It wasn't until lunchtime that the two finished their morning's work, packed up and left Hangar No. 6, and drove back to the living quarters in the commuter car.
