Chapter 34 Death Training 2
Two days later, another 20 fighters joined the ranks, and all four aircraft carrier warships were put into training. The weather was sunny and sunny, but the wind speed was 4 meters and the wave height was 0?8 meters, as if God was joking. The two fighters landed on the deck of the Beijing one after the other, and Gao Xiang and Zhan Fei walked out of the cockpit of the fighter one after the other. Before the start of the mass flight, the two men demonstrated once, and then ordered the two pilots to board the plane.
In the past few days, according to the experience summed up by Gao Xiang and Zhanfei, the entire brigade has learned the essentials of flying on the deck, and the pilots have initially mastered the minimum common sense of landing on the deck, but common sense is common sense, and every pilot must pass the landing pass in order to become a qualified carrier-based aircraft pilot. On the left side of this effort, the Harbin aircraft carrier battleship took off two fighters, and Dai Hui and Deng Shichang raised their binoculars in the command cabin to inspect them. The fighter took off very smoothly, everyone seemed to be unfazed, the key was to look at the ship.
The first fighter landed on the ship, then jumped a few times on the deck and began to taxi, stopping on the runway breathlessly. Then the second fighter plane landed, probably because there was a problem with the landing angle, and the moment the fighter plane landed, it began to roll, rolled several times in a row, and stopped at the side of the ship on the right side of the deck, almost close to the chimney. It's simply too dangerous, and if you hit the chimney fighter will explode.
Dai Hui saw through the telescope that one of the wings of the fighter plane was broken, lying there with its belly up, especially since the tires of the fighter plane were still spinning. The pilot was rescued, apparently seriously wounded. At this time, the fighter engine began to smoke, and several ground crew members held water cannons to extinguish the fire. "Commander, water cannons are not very effective for aviation fuel. If you continue to burn, the tank will explode. "A subordinate reports." Push the fighter into the sea! Keep training! Dai Hui's face turned pale and said decisively.
An officer came in and reported: "Report, the pilot of the Harbin No. 070 fighter was seriously injured and his life is not in danger!" Dai Hui seemed indifferent. At this time, the two fighters on the deck of the Beijing began to taxi, one after the other. Deng Shichang said: "Order to make every effort to rescue the wounded, and tell the squadrons not to be affected and continue training." At this moment, another fighter plane on the deck of the aircraft carrier battleship Return on the right side rolled continuously, and then the flames soared into the sky and then exploded.
Dai Hui held the telescope and turned to the Return, which was billowed with smoke at the stern of the deck. "Commander, it seems that it is difficult for the pilot to survive, do you order to stop training!" Deng Shichang said anxiously. "You can't stop training. Rescue the pilot immediately. Dai Hui issued an order with an expressionless face, in fact, his heart was anxious, but as a commander, he must have an iron side at this time. The road to the sky itself is fraught with dangers. And if flying on the sea does not cost money, it is impossible to build a terrifying sea weapon in a short time.
At this time, on the deck of the Beijing, an accident occurred when a fighter plane landed. Glide towards the sea on the right. Then??????. At the end of the day's training, in the command tower, Dai Hui's face was a little dark, and his expression was extremely serious. Deng Shichang said: "After statistics, a fighter plane exploded and the pilot was killed. One fighter plane was damaged and sank into the sea, the pilot was seriously injured. Eight other warplanes slipped into the sea and seriously injured two others. Three were slightly wounded, and two pilots were unharmed. ”
Seeing that Dai Hui was silent. The first day was training, and at the cost of 10 planes, one was burned and one sank into the sea. Although the other eight planes were salvaged from the sea and could be repaired, the death of one pilot made Dai Hui feel extremely heavy. After a long time, Dai Hui said: "Inform the captain of the Harbin that I will personally carry out a grand sea burial for the dead pilot." After the sea burial, Dai Hui and Deng Shichang returned to the Beijing aircraft carrier battleship.
The food in front of him was already cold, and Dai Hui still didn't move his chopsticks. "Brother, don't think so much about it now." Dai Hui motioned for the guards to bring the food down, as he had no appetite. "Brother, right now we are in trouble in training, but we can't stop training no matter what, and I will bear all the consequences." "Report, Flight Major Gao Xiang, Flight Major Zhan Fei came to report!" "I'm trying to get them in."
Gao Xiang and Zhanfei walked in with depressed faces, and although the two of them tried their best, there were still two fighters rushing into the sea. Seeing the self-reproachful expressions of the two, Dai Hui said with a smile: "Although we paid the price of one pilot and 10 fighters, we finally broke through the ghost gate, and each pilot received a landing training, which is the most gratifying achievement." Immediately put the food and drink, and I will personally reward the two meritorious majors. ”
Everyone didn't drink much during the meal, and Gao Xiang suggested, "Commander, I have an idea?" "What you think, speak up." "At present, we are mainly breaking through the barrier of landing, the plane is mainly circling over the battleship, and the fighter plane stays in the air for a short time, so I suggest that the aviation fuel be reduced by two-thirds and retained by one-third, so that if there is an accident when the plane lands on the ship, the fuel tank can be prevented from exploding and the pilot will be killed accidentally."
"Attention, I think this is what I can do!" Dai Hui was overjoyed when he heard this, and he knew that there would definitely be no fewer accidents in the future landing training, and how to ensure the safety of the pilots was now the top priority. In the evening of the same day, Dai Hui summoned the flight group leader and eight squadron leaders, issued an order to continue the training, and at the same time informed everyone in detail of the new training plan. Gao Xiang's suggestion worked, and the next day's training, although one fighter plane rolled over and smoked, the reduction in fuel did not explode, and the pilot was spared.
But on this day there were still 3 warplanes that rushed into the sea. The effect is so outstanding, Dai Hui is in a good mood. A month later, the landing training entered the mature stage, and despite the daily accidents, the losses were completely stable within an acceptable range. In the course of a month, although nearly 40 fighters were lost, there was no accidental death of a pilot except for the death of one pilot, and it is true that injured pilots were inevitable.
Flight training is in full swing, and as pilots gain experience, accidents become less and less. This sea area is extremely lively, the fighter planes fly up and down, the fighters continue to taxi without slowing down after landing on the deck, and rush into the sky again without stopping, the scene is extremely spectacular. In the Beijing command tower, Dai Hui was affectionate and hearty, with a red face. A touch of sunset slanted in, Dai Hui put away the binoculars, and the day's training was over
"Report, today we have zero casualties and zero accidents!" An officer announced loudly, and everyone in the command cabin cheered. Dai Hui shook his arm and said to Deng Shichang: "Brother, it's time for us to get off the ship." To be honest, you and I are here, which adds to the pressure on them. Now that stress has turned into motivation, it's time to decompress them. Deng Shichang said with a smile: "This month, I am also physically and mentally exhausted, I have never been so nervous, and I am simply living like a year." ”
The training has entered a stable stage, and Dai Hui and Deng Shichang have to prepare for the next stage of live-fire exercises, which is the highlight of the aircraft carrier's aircraft. Another month passed, and four aircraft carrier warships completed their training missions and returned to the military port. On this day, Gao Xiang and Zhanfei stood on the deck, looking at the vast sea, their hearts swaying. "The fleet headquarters has a two-day holiday, and everyone goes to Taipei for sightseeing, why don't you go?" Gao Xiang was silent.
"Why aren't you going?" Zhanfei asked rhetorically. "We are about to enter a live-fire exercise, and we are familiar with attacking us on land and attacking active warships at sea, and we have no precedent and no experience to follow, so I have no interest in playing." "Senior brother, is it difficult that you don't understand me? We are each other! "Since we have a soul, let's study it well." After saying that, the two of them laughed.
In the fleet headquarters, a large number of warships appeared on a sand table, Deng Shichang pointed to the sand table and said: "Commander, this is a target ship, our aircraft carrier aircraft should be 20 nautical miles away from the position of the target ship, and this distance is a safe distance to be maintained considering the range of naval guns." Dai Hui said with a smile: "In the future, in actual combat, as long as we can see the enemy ship with the naked eye, we can completely attack it by surprise." ”
"Report, 50 carrier-based aircraft arrived at the dock!" An officer reported. "Brother, tomorrow is the start of live-fire target training!" "Good! I'll deploy it immediately! "At present, four aircraft carrier warships, escorted by 20 frigates, drove to the shooting range, which is located in the sea area of about 100 nautical miles from Keelung Military Port.
