Great Power Fighting Falcon

The locals all know that there is an airport in the western suburbs of the county. They know that it is the airport for the army and is only four or five kilometers away from the city.

People in West County have been used to "those loud" planes flying overhead for decades. The sound of fighter jets roaring and climbing as they take off is very loud, and the sky above Xi County is the training airspace of the Second Division. When flying at supersonic speed, the sound is even more deafening.

When Li Zhan was flying kites on the rooftop when he was a child, he had seen fighter jets whizzing by at low altitude many times. The altitude was very, very low, and he could even clearly see the pilot wearing a white helmet when the fighter plane turned. The kite gave people the illusion that it was about to collide with a fighter plane.

Unfortunately, he has never been to Xi County Airport once. This place has been a strictly managed military area for decades, and no one can approach it.

The warrior cart took him to the front of the government building, which was only three stories high, and Zhang Wei took him strode upstairs. Li Zhan was wearing winter clothes, carrying a backpack and a duffel bag.

"The division commander is on combat duty, and the political commissar looks after the house, so you have to report to the political commissar." Zhang Wei pointed to the duffel bag Li Zhan was carrying and explained.

Li Zhan said quickly, "Understood."

Despite the fact that there is a rank difference between the two, and Zhang Wei is still a battalion-level cadre, two levels higher than Li Zhan, the deputy company level, Li Zhan will not make Zhang Wei his leader, and neither will Zhang Wei. Put on the airs of superiors. The reason is simple. Li Zhan is the pilot and Zhang Wei is the combat staff officer. There is a phenomenon in the Air Force, as long as you fly in the sky, you will be ranked higher in rank.

Of course it is not a rule, but a long-standing phenomenon. Moreover, Zhang Wei knew that Li Zhan was a member of the Air Force talent pool. There are thousands of people in the Second Division, but only a few officers and soldiers can be selected into the Air Force talent pool.

It is not easy to train a qualified pilot, and it requires a huge investment of resources to train an excellent pilot, which is a treasure trove.

It was just the beginning of work. Within two or three minutes, people from all departments had arrived at their posts. However, the office building seemed to have been lively for a long time. From time to time, staff officers were walking in and out holding folders or swinging their arms. in the corridor. The personnel I saw, whether officers or non-commissioned officers, all wore hats and belts and carried pistols at their waists. This is the combat uniform of agency personnel.

The atmosphere of war is very strong.

"There are important training tasks today. The leaders are either on duty or in the sky." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"This is level one combat readiness," Li Zhan said.

Zhang Wei nodded, "Yes, a large number of transfers."

Li Zhan said with admiration: "The Second Division is indeed worthy of its reputation and is worthy of being the prestigious "Southern Batian"."

Just with the momentum of the agency cadres, they can already overwhelm other troops. Only when you have morale can you have momentum. The combat effectiveness of a unit without momentum is questionable, no matter what the army, navy or air force is.

Stopping in front of the office with the political commissar sign on the third floor, Zhang Wei knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, a loud voice came from inside, "Come in!"

Zhang Wei opened the door, took two steps inside, stood at attention and saluted, "Report! Political Commissar, the last new comrade of this year has been brought back!"

It was already December, and new pilots usually entered the camp in the last month of each year, which was similar to the recruitment time for other branches of the military.

Seeing Zhang Wei wink at him, Li Zhan stepped in, put down his luggage bag, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the chief! Li Zhan, a 2008 graduate of the Fourth Flight Academy, has been ordered to report!"

What surprised Li Zhan was that the political commissar was very young, tall and handsome, with sharp eyebrows, big eyes, and an angular face. He could look like a male model if he changed his fashion! It completely subverted his understanding of the division's political commissar. The political commissar of the college and the political commissar of the base all have anti-war faces and have a strong flavor of political workers. You don't need to ask about that type of person, you can tell at a glance that they are engaged in political work.

The political commissar of this division is more in line with the image of the new leader of the fighter regiment.

"Oh, hello, Comrade Li Zhan." The political commissar was very kind and said while packing up the documents on his desk and putting them in his briefcase in an orderly manner, "You are the one who was asked by the head of Guangkong from the north. Top notch. Our second division is the ace. This is a big stage. I heard you are a local, which is even better. You can go home and visit on Saturdays and Sundays."

His tone of voice is very gentle and refreshing, and you won't feel disrespected at all by him talking to you while he is busy with other things.

"I'm here with the order, Staff Officer Zhang, take him...just to the Fourth Regiment and give it to He Datou. He has come to the division headquarters several times to ask for people. Give it to him!" The political commissar said in just a few words. It was arranged.

Li Zhan quickly handed over the transfer order, and then the two of them saluted the political commissar and said goodbye.

After getting on the Warrior Car, Li Zhan said, "The political commissar is really young and has the style of a military cadre."

"Political Commissar Qi was originally a political worker who was transferred from the military chief, and was the youngest division political commissar in Guangkong." Zhang Wei briefly introduced, "Political Commissar Qi is a cadre who came from HNA. He turned out to be the commander of the Ninth Division of HNA. He was directly He served as the political commissar of our second division."

"Cross-service promotion?" Li Zhan whispered.

Zhang Wei looked at Li Zhan with an enigmatic expression and said no more.

Cross-service transfers are not uncommon for pilots. Hainan Airlines and Army Airlines have too many pilots transferred from the Air Force. At that time, Hainan Airlines and Army Airlines were established, and even the entire establishment system was transferred. A service prefix was added to the number, and there was no need to change clothes. In the past few months, a group of Army Air Force transfer helicopters had arrived at the training base where Li Zhan was located, and those pilots simply wore Air Force flight suits.

But it is a bit unusual for the position to jump directly from the main regiment to the main division.

"Li Zhan, you are lucky. The Fourth Regiment is stationed here, together with the division headquarters. If you were assigned to the Fifth or Sixth Regiment, you would still have to run hundreds of kilometers." Zhang Wei said, pointing to a courtyard in front of him. , said, "In front is the regiment headquarters of the Fourth Regiment."

What Li Zhan was most concerned about was when he could fly the SU-27, so he asked, "Staff Zhang, how long is the new training time for our division? Three months?"

"Half a year." Zhang Wei said, looking at the disappointed look in Li Zhan's eyes, and then said, "But it's not fixed. Some people get familiar with the situation quickly, and it will be faster to go solo. This is good for you It's not a problem at all. You are the top student at the Fourth Flight Academy and have been flying the J-7 at the training base for a year. To get started, all you need to do is become familiar with the airspace environment. The climate here is quite different from that in the north. of……"

Li Zhan couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Wei, "Commander Zhang, the second division should have a two-seater Su Liangqi. The new training is to fly the J-7, which has no effect at all."

"Hahaha, it works." Zhang Wei said with a smile, "The fourth regiment is equipped with J-7s. The newly trained J-7s are flying J-7s. You have been flying this type of aircraft at the training base for a year, you will be fine."

Li Zhan was completely stunned.

"You, what are you talking about? The fourth and fourth regiments are equipped with J-7s? How is this possible? How is it possible? Where did those Su Liangqi go?" Li Zhan didn't believe it at all, and asked Zhang Wei with his eyes wide open, his voice Some of them lifted up uncontrollably, causing the driver to look at him in surprise.

Zhang Wei was startled, "Xiao Li, why are you so surprised?"

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Li Zhan apologized, "I'm sorry, Staff Zhang, I, I just can't believe it. Isn't the Second Division a third generation? Why is there still a J-7?"

"Where did you hear the news?" Zhang Wei was not surprised by this stupid young man who had just left school, and said, "In the middle of this year, the fifth regiment began to modify the JY Yaoyao, and so far it has only modified one squadron. Of course, let’s not talk about the Sixth Regiment. They use the Su 27 imported in 1996. Forty-eight were imported that year, half of which were from the Third Division and half of our Second Division, all of which were given to the Sixth Regiment.”

Only then did Li Zhan know that the Second Division had only one SU-27 regiment.

Simply, Zhang Wei gave a brief introduction to the three fighter regiments, and Li Zhan had a general understanding. Of the three flight regiments, the Fourth Regiment is the worst equipped and uses J-7s. The Fifth Regiment is slightly better equipped with J-8s. The Sixth Regiment is the best, even the best in the entire Air Force, because they are the only two. Regiment equipped with SU-27.

Their status has remained unchanged for more than a decade. However, this is a irony, because for almost ten years, the Air Force has not had new fighters to replace the old and backward ones.

After some introductions, the warrior car drove into the regiment headquarters compound of the fourth regiment.

Li Zhan also accepted his fate. Although he regretted many times in his heart, military orders were like a mountain and it was absolutely impossible for them to be changed overnight. We can only hope that the modification progress will be faster. After the modification of the fifth regiment is completed, it will be the fourth regiment.

This process may take one year, maybe two years, or even longer. Li Zhan knew that sometimes the troops were waiting for new aircraft models to be modified, and it was nothing unusual to wait for more than ten years.

The regiment headquarters compound of the Fourth Regiment is just over two kilometers away from the division headquarters. In fact, one is on the southeast side and the other is on the south side. It can be seen that Xixian Airport is huge. It is said that it ranks second among all air force airports in terms of area. The straight-line distance between the headquarters compound of the Fourth Regiment and the tower is only five hundred meters, which is also convenient for daily command training.

Except for a long two-story building in the middle, the entire courtyard is composed of bungalows. The floors and rooftops are also painted with camouflage camouflage, giving off a combat atmosphere.

But when Li Zhan thought about Xiao Qi flying again, he lost all enthusiasm.
