Chapter 1342: Confrontation Drill
Now, after hearing the advice of the Chinese personnel, the commanders and fighters of the Soviet Air Force present briefly discussed for a while, and the commander of the Caucasus Theater Air Force who led the team confirmed that in fact, when the Soviet fighters arrived, they were arranged to land at this air base, and for the next confrontation exercise, except for Long Yun, who temporarily joined in, they were ignorant of it, and it should be said that everyone in the delegation still had some mental preparations.
"So, lads, who should we send to fight with our Chinese comrades?"
"Comrade Commander, do you still need to ask—"
"--In order to fully understand the 'Project Ten', I also flew the MiG-29, so I will also sign up!"
"This confrontation is not supposed to be about winning or losing, but I also agree with letting our number one ace play! - Comrade Rezenov, you should have flown over the MiG, right? ”
Originally, it was a plan to inspect and exchange, and then there were some tactical discussions and army building ideas, and now when it comes to the confrontation drills between the two sides, the winning nature of the soldiers makes the generals present feel high, needless to say, everyone must want to promote Viktor Rezenov to the battle, on the one hand, the earliest landline of this ace is the MiG-29, which is almost known to everyone, on the other hand, even if it is a competition between friendly forces, as a soldier, how can you not want to win?
Everyone has full confidence in the number one ace pilot of the Red Air Force.
In the face of the gossiping members of the military delegation, Long Yun, who had just been a little confused because of the visit to the J-10, was still a little confused because of the visit to the J-10, and Long Yun, who participated in a friendly confrontation exercise, was still a little confused - MIG-29M, yes, he can completely control this model, but today's exchange activities are not mainly based on theoretical discussions. Isn't it too abrupt to add a competition now?
Thinking so, but the hospitality of his comrades-in-arms was difficult to shirk, Long Yun had to admit that he was in good condition and able to undertake the task, so the two sides temporarily agreed on the rules of confrontation and the details of implementation in the hangar. The specific mission plan is that each side will send two fighters to form a group of twin aircraft to fight each other, the Chinese side will send the J-10 "Raptor", and the Soviet side will send the MiG-29M.
The idea was to agree that the specific rules of confrontation would be put aside for the time being, and the personnel of both sides would go to the combat preparation room of the base together.
Just after a confrontation was finalized. The ground crew of the Red Air Force, who had arrived earlier, soon received the order and were busy in the hangar where the visiting fighters were temporarily parked, and the R-27R and R-73 training bombs with black circles on a white background were quickly put in place on the bomb trailer, and the fuel filling work was also being carried out intensively, and the figures in dark blue overalls were busy back and forth. The Soviet-style logistics system in the hangar was used to complete the preparation of the MiG-29M fighters for sortie.
Preparations are being carried out intensively, and in another tall hangar not too far away, the newly settled "Raptor" fleet is also preparing for attack.
The young pilots on the scene were all gearing up and eager to try, but they did not directly talk about it like the bold Red Air Force pilots, and in the end, the deputy commander of the Air Force of the Beijing Military Region who was present communicated with the commander and political commissar of a certain regiment of fighter pilots. The candidates for the confrontation drill were determined.
"Comrade Wang Weiguo, this time it is mainly a drill, not a real battle; Head Lu said, you and Comrade Xiao Zheng have solid skills. The sense of combat and the coordination of the two planes are also well known in the regiment.
How's that, the friendly team is the 'No. 1 ace', are you confident? ”
"-Yes! - Resolutely complete the mission! ”
"Haha!
Okay, you're quite energetic! ”
When the mission plan was issued, according to the recommendation of the leaders of the fighter regiment and his own vision, Lieutenant General Liang Bingchao, deputy commander of the PLAF, did not show an official tone to the two young men in front of him. He patted Major Wang Weiguo on the shoulder vigorously and smiled. There was a bit of encouragement in the words of the lowered voice:
"Get things done, not just win. You two have to know what to expect.
This time, the comrades of the northern allies came to inspect and exchange, and they also wanted to see how many catties and taels our 'No. 10 Project' was; the above meaning was that there was no need to worry too much about secrecy, after all, it was only a small batch of work that came out in a hurry, and as long as we played the tenacious style of our army, we would have completed the task, understand? ”
"-Understood!"
After receiving the order from the chief, he rushed to the combat preparation room with his wingman comrades, and Major Wang Weiguo was of course very excited, but at the same time, he was also puzzled by the arrangement of the regiment commander and others.
Why did you send two of them who are used to flying the Su-27 to the confrontation drill using the J-10 fighter?
He and his comrade-in-arms Zheng Bin are not boasting about themselves, and their flight skills and operational awareness are indeed among the best in the regiment, but the problem is that a certain regiment of the Air Force fighter division stationed at the base on the outskirts of Beijing was originally the first veteran unit to be reequipped with the Su-27SK from the J-8i. Military colleagues are familiar with the J-10 "Raptor" that they have just met.
After a few months of seeing this new fighter with their own eyes, Wang Weiguo and his comrades-in-arms have now completely mastered the temperament of the J-10 and are able to complete most of the training subjects in the aircraft, and the supporting weapon system has also undergone tests and live-fire training -- that is, it has preliminary combat capability.
However, it is one thing to slowly become familiar with a new model, and another thing to fully understand the performance of the fighter and give full play to its combat capabilities; Now that they have to fight the exercise, as a member of the army, it is nonsense to say that they don't take victory or defeat seriously, but the two pilots who took over the J-10 in half a way and the two aces on the opposite side who are accustomed to flying MiGs -- not to mention the "Grim Reaper" who made the Americans pee their pants in fright, how can there be any hope of winning this competition?
Wang Weiguo was as persistent as all the PLALAF personnel present in the confrontation, but as a pilot, not a hot-headed hairy boy, it was of course absolutely necessary to predict the shape of the pre-war situation.
Different from the real war, the current competition, according to the temporarily agreed rules is "no system support", the confrontation airspace, the way of engagement is also set in advance, then in fact, the system and luck factors are excluded, which is equivalent to a contest between fighters and pilots on both sides, in this regard, Wang Weiguo has done a lot of relevant homework, he believes that the performance of the J-10 is better than the MiG-29, and the MiG-29M is between the best.
In terms of weapons, both sides are semi-active bullets and combat bullets, and there doesn't seem to be much difference.
However, compared with weapons and fighters that are easy to compare, the personnel factor must not be overlooked, and the gap between the two sides in this regard is obviously huge.
Viktor Rezenov, the number one ace pilot of the Soviet Air Force, does not look like a three-headed and six-armed man, like an ordinary Russian strong man, but this guy's record is ......
Hey, can't be exaggerated!
This guy, Wang Weiguo, or any air force pilot in the world, is extremely concerned, Lieutenant General Viktor Rezenov is different from those ace pilots in World War II who have doubtful records, this person's contribution to the war has long been impossible to measure by ordinary "downed figures".
It is said that recently, the Soviet propaganda organization is sparing no effort to preach the "fiasco of the US empire in the Pacific", which specifically mentions how the "white death" of the god soldier descended from the sky bravely broke the air defense circle of the US aircraft carrier battle group with a single plane; At the same time, with the United States on the other side of the ocean in turmoil, a group of militants in mourning, and the president's heartbroken and resentful description of Viktor Rezenov's actions as "the hand of God" on television, it is clear that the VVS lieutenant general's exploits are real and daunting.
On one side is a super ace who has been in a hundred battles, and on the other side is a novice on the battlefield who has taken over the "Raptors" for a few months.
Hurriedly coming to the combat preparation room to receive a brief examination by the doctor, Wang Weiguo and his comrade-in-arms Zheng Bin changed out of the officer's regular uniform and put on a flight suit, his mind was still thinking about the tactics that should be adopted in the confrontation, and at the same time he continued to think about the arrangements of the leaders.
Seeing that Chang Ji had a preoccupied face, Major Zheng, who was unhurriedly dressed in a flight suit and pulled a zipper, did not have so much burden of thought, and his thinking was more agile than Wang Weiguo:
"Hey, I said Lao Wang, you won't worry about winning this one!"
"Of course I'm worried!
Why, you're not worried at all? It hasn't been long since we took over the new fighter, Lao Zheng, I see if there is a bit of 'secrecy' on it, otherwise why would you send us-"
"Haha! Wang, Wang,"
Hearing Wang Weiguo's frank anxiety, Major Zheng Bin, who was busy wearing anti-load clothes and tidying up his outfit, laughed, "You attach too much importance to victory and defeat, can't you even think of this layer?" The two of us have been flying the 'Raptor' for a few days, but this is not for secrecy, the J-10 fighter, how long has this model been out; test pilots or anything else, do you think that our entire Beijing Military Region, and even the whole country, can have a longer training time than our pilots? ”
"Oh?
Yes, it makes sense. ”
was woken up by a word from his comrades-in-arms, Wang Weiguo came out of the tip of the horns, and he felt that what Zheng Bin said was very right.
But isn't it, speaking of which, this "Viktor Rezenov" is really famous, and even a confrontation drill can make his opponent unsettled, and Major Wang suddenly felt a little bit of the heavy mood of those Americans on the other side of the ocean, and of course, at the same time, he also felt a kind of happiness to be a friendly soldier with such a person.
It's okay to have a fight, but when it comes to the battlefield, I'm afraid no one will want to fight against the "White Death"! (To be continued)
