Great Power Fighting Falcon

Police patrols in the South China Sea are definitely an important annual military mission. Not only must they be reported to the Air Force Headquarters at any time, but they must also be registered at the highest level and commanded by a deputy military-level command post. The tower can do very little.

Moreover, this time there were three batches of six.

Usually there are two in a batch.

In fact, late at night two days ago, Qi Hong and Fang Chenghe had an in-depth discussion, which centered on whether the troops should resume flight training as soon as possible and whether the plan to combine long-distance training with police patrols in the South China Sea would be implemented on time.

As the political commissar and actual commander of the Second Division, Qi Hong was obviously under the greatest psychological pressure.

He still clearly remembered that during the large-scale transfer training before the Spring Festival, he had the idea of ​​​​lowering the training intensity because of the engine failure of Yu Chenglin's plane. Later, Zhang Sihai, the teacher who had begun to gradually hand over leadership rights, persuaded him.

Any aircraft may encounter unexpected situations, but despite this, Qi Hong once again had the idea of ​​reducing the intensity of training.

Now in 2009, the military's views on improving combat effectiveness and security are at a time of great discussion. One side believes that certain sacrifices must be made in order to improve combat effectiveness, while the other side's mission talents are the most important. Improving combat effectiveness while ensuring safety is a sustainable approach.

Ultimately, it's a matter of focus. One side believes that it should focus on training and training that is closer to actual combat. The other side believes that there should not be a one-size-fits-all approach, but training that is closer to actual combat should be conducted while ensuring safety. In fact, those who put safety first have no confidence. What the army does is to prepare for war. Maybe all units in the world can put safety first, but the army cannot.

Zhang Sihai will completely complete the handover of command of the Second Division within the year, and Qi Hong will have to get used to living without a teacher for many things. Almost all the officers and soldiers in the division knew that the person who would work with Qi Hong in the future would not be a certain deputy division commander or a certain deputy political commissar, but Chief of Staff Fang Chenghe.

Qi Hong didn't have the nerve to go to the teacher to clarify his doubts. Instead, he invited his future partner over and held a small discussion meeting in the office. Fang Chenghe was a few years older than him. He was a regular chief of staff on his resume, but he was also a once-famous "air thorn" in the coastal flying force.

There are many offices in the government building with lights on, and they have been working overtime these days. Before the divisional party committee makes a decision, everyone has no idea how to arrange the next step of work.

The political commissar's office was open, and there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke as soon as he entered. Qi Hong was immersed in reading documents, and the ashtray at hand was already full of cigarette butts. This is definitely against pilot regulations, but in practice there are still many pilots who find it difficult to refuse tobacco. Moreover, for division-level cadres, the chances of reaching heaven are actually becoming less and less.

"Political commissar." Fang Chenghe greeted, picked up the remote control and turned on the air conditioner, set it up, put it down, walked over and sat down at the desk.

Qi Hong greeted, "Old Fang, sit down and drink some water and tea."

"I'm not busy." Fang Chenghe lit up a cigarette and started smoking. "Northern Guangxi and eastern Guangdong asked for instructions on the next step. I asked them to wait."

Qi Hong nodded slightly, "That's why I came to you. I'm a little unsure."

The future team will be very strange. The political commissar will be the division commander and the chief of staff will be the political commissar. Perhaps this is the charm of the second division. In fact, what is even more mysterious is that the future military and political officers of the Second Division will all be military cadres, with a strong style of front-line combat troops.

Fang Chenghe had obviously thought about it. He said, "My opinion is that it should be implemented according to the annual training plan. Of course, special safety education must be carried out, even if there is no bird collision. Last year, Yu Chenglin The air engine failure of the landline aircraft was caused by a typical lack of careful inspection and inadequate inspection. Safety education cannot be carried out in a flurry. I think it is necessary to form a mechanism to carry out it at a fixed time and at a certain place and with a certain person."

After blowing the ashes of his cigarette, Qi Hong looked much younger than Fang Chenghe, his face full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice, "This year is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is no more strict than before, and security is tighter. Although we do not have a military parade mission, However, in accordance with the principle that when one person is sick, the whole family takes medicine, if a mechanical failure or accident occurs in our division, the entire army will be notified. Not only the Air Force, but also the flying units of the Navy, Army and Air Force are also affected."

"I heard." Fang Chenghe nodded slightly, "Except for the combat readiness duty units, other flying units of the Navy and Army Aviation have been grounded for three days in order to conduct a comprehensive investigation of potential safety hazards."

After looking at Qi Hong, Fang Chenghe took a puff of cigarette and said, "Political Commissar, I can understand your mood. The teacher and the commander gradually let go, and you are under a lot of pressure, but isn't this what the chief officer of the army has to bear? ?Our Second Division has been relatively high in the Air Force flying force in terms of the incidence of flight accidents and accidents over the years. Why? Because our training intensity has always been the highest among the Air Force flying force, and we are deployed in The number one main force in the southern coastal area.”

Smiling, Fang Chenghe said, "Political Commissar, you have two troops to choose from. Would you rather lead the Second Division or the Fighter Division, which is famous for its safe flight? The troops have to fight. Will there be no sacrifices in the war? "

Hearing this, Qi Hong couldn't help laughing, and the two of them laughed.

The fighter division is famous for its safe flying and has become a model. In the eyes of many people, this is very logical, which shows that the unit is doing a good job. However, in the eyes of senior pilots, this is an insinuation of a combat unit.

Those who fly fighter jets should not be proud of this.

Blindly pursuing safe flight means that training must be compromised. It is not a possibility, but a certainty! More than half of the training subjects for fighter jets go straight to the flight envelope. To a certain extent, in actual combat, whoever can get closer to the flight envelope can take more initiative in the confrontation.

Take the aerial target training that Li Zhan just conducted. If the fighter plane can withstand greater overload, he can cut into the attack route with a smaller turning radius. Subsequent attacks will be easier and it will be harder for the enemy plane to escape. Not only the fighter planes must be able to withstand it, but the pilots must also be able to withstand it.

Let me ask, if there is no corresponding training that constantly breaks through the limits, can pilots have such combat effectiveness?

They are all young, middle- and high-level officers in the Air Force, so there is no need to say anything more.

Rather than being unsure, it is better to say that Qi Hong needs support, especially the support of his future partner Fang Chenghe. How could he, a young and powerful successor from HNA, not have the ambition to forge ahead?

"Tomorrow morning I will ask the aviation department for instructions to resume flights and carry out long-distance training and police patrols in the South China Sea according to the established plan." Qi Hong made up his mind.

"This time you will be the commander yourself."

Hence the scene of Fang Chenghe sitting at the tower today.

The call came, "Two holes are reported, flight preparations are complete, requesting takeoff."

It was Zhang Xueyang's voice, as confident as ever.

In the basketball game, the sixth team once again faced the fourth team in the final. When Li Zhan did not play, Niu Yaoyang directly destroyed them with more than a dozen dunks. Four teams won three consecutive championships and received a bonus of 50,000 yuan. Hearing Zhang Xueyang's voice, the first thing Li Zhan thought of was that the bonus hadn't been paid out yet!

"Li Zhan?" Fang Chenghe stared at Li Zhan.

Li Zhan came to his senses, raised the transmitter to his mouth, and pressed the call button, "Two holes hooked, you can take off."

Zhang Xueyang in the cockpit was also stunned. There was no doubt that he cared about everything about Li Zhan and was very familiar with his voice. In his eyes, Li Zhan is his number one opponent. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

But he was surprised as to why Li Zhan was at the tower and also the commander.

Obviously there was no time to think about it.

He pushed the accelerator and released the brakes, and the unique roar of the AL-31F engine equipped on the SU-27SK heavy fighter jet resounded throughout the entire flight area, and even the tower with special sound insulation could clearly distinguish it.

The two-plane formation took off, and the wingman rolled away as the lead plane entered a turn. Three batches of fighter jets took off one after another. After completing their formation in the air, they immediately entered the planned route. Simple operation and routine operation. In fact, the SU-27 does not even have ammunition, whether it is training ammunition or live ammunition.

Police patrols in the South China Sea demonstrate military presence. To put it bluntly,

"Two holes hooked, pay attention to the clouds." Li Zhan reminded Zhang Xueyang while paying attention to the real-time satellite cloud images.

The ace is the ace, and Zhang Xueyang is actually the first lead aircraft in this long-distance police patrol. In other words, the other two two-aircraft formations are also under his command. Li Zhan was convinced.

The louder noise of electromagnetic interference means that the tower will soon hand over command to Nanzhi, but when necessary, the Xixian station with complete software and hardware foundation can also serve as a command post. Thirty years ago, this was one of the frontline command posts.

Zhang Xueyang replied, "Understood, I noticed that there is thunder and lightning, please stay out of the way, over."

When encountering difficulties, he first thinks of relying on the organization to solve them. This is Zhang Xueyang's characteristic, and it is exactly the type that leaders like.

The flight staff officer and weatherman had already taken out the avoidance route and handed it to Li Zhan. Li Zhan called, "Two hooks, adjust the course to 150, and the altitude remains unchanged."

"Understood, adjust the course to 150 and keep the altitude unchanged." Zhang Xueyang led the formation to turn and avoid the crackling clouds with thunder and lightning ahead.

Just like birds, fighter planes are also afraid of being struck by lightning.

The three sorties formed a column and formed a large formation flight, which was completely different from a single-plane and two-plane flight. The pilots had to concentrate more and the first thing to avoid was a collision. The large distance between the formations at this time is not a big problem. If the pilots are flying in a dense formation, the pilots will not even dare to blink. Maybe it is just a second of distraction and the collision will happen.

It went smoothly. He guided the Yuanhang Police Patrol Formation back to the route. Li Zhan handed over the command to Nan Zhi according to the procedure. The next step was not a long wait, because the Fifth Regiment would transfer two batches of two J-8s today. Li Zhan couldn't help but smile at the thought of Ba Ye's famous nickname "Beautiful Man in the Sky".

He was really not familiar with Master Ba.
