Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 612 The People’s Navy is preparing to embark on a new journey

On September 23, the weather was not very good, and it was quite different from the forecast.

God still opened his eyes. During the delivery ceremony, the clouds dispersed and the sun shone down. The delivery ceremony went smoothly, and everyone's mood was not affected much.

This is a day that will go down in history.

A large number of military fans flew to Dalian from all over the country to watch the delivery ceremony of China's first aircraft carrier from a distance. Although what they saw was only an outline - I participated in the ceremony of delivering my country's first aircraft carrier to the navy at a visual distance.

Suddenly the price of air tickets to Dalian skyrocketed.

The origin of the Chinese people's desire for aircraft carriers can be traced back thirty years. A naval leader once said something that has deeply penetrated into the hearts of two generations of Chinese people - I will not rest in peace until I see my own aircraft carrier.

Today, I can comfort you.

With the end of the flag-giving ceremony, it was announced that the Chinese Navy has entered the aircraft carrier era. This is another departure for expanding its territory and another outstanding contribution made by China to safeguard the interests of overseas countries and maintain world peace.

People all over the country were excited. Ship No. 16 slowly left the dock with the assistance of several pilot boats. It was delivered and set off for the first sea training after being commissioned.

Amidst the long sound of the whistle, the low-visibility painted ship No. 16 set sail against the wind and left the harbor. Various ships blew their whistles in salutes as it passed, completing the transformation of the Chinese navy from offshore to distant seas and setting sail for the navy of a great power. .

For ordinary people, the first aircraft carrier has been launched, and the long wait has come to an end. So they continue to wait for carrier-based fighter jets to appear on the aircraft carrier flight deck, waiting for news about the battle training of the carrier-based aviation unit, and waiting for the official announcement that the aircraft carrier has achieved combat effectiveness. .

For the Flying Sharks and the officers and soldiers of the No. 16 ship, what they have to do has just begun.

As if to test the Flying Shark troops, after the No. 16 ship entered the training sea area, the weather became very bad. Commander Zhang, who was taking command in the aviation tower, issued a plan to postpone the landing. Suddenly the excitement of the delivery ceremony was gone, replaced by worry.

Over the years, everyone has been holding back their energy, waiting for a hearty vent today, and doing their best to deliver a satisfactory answer to the people of the motherland. However, God will not give you face, and it will turn from sunny to cloudy. To ensure nothing goes wrong, Commander-in-Chief Zhang has strictly stipulated the weather conditions for the flight, and will not fly if the conditions are not met.

Li Zhan and others were also waiting. They had been on standby in the first training area for a long time and saw large-scale weather changes with their own eyes. In fact, the weather changes here at the base are more serious. Dark clouds are moving from the southeast at a speed visible to the naked eye, and rainfall will follow soon.

This cast a haze on everyone's mind.

Li Zhan strode towards the rear of the simulated flight deck until he reached the seaside location. Down here is a reinforced concrete cliff cut into a vertical surface, and below is the sea. He squatted down and carefully observed the changes in the waves to judge the trend of weather changes.

Dai Wenming came over and squatted down, his brows knitted into knots, and he said in a deep voice, "The wave is more than two meters high."

"I'm afraid it will get worse." Li Zhan shook his head slightly helplessly, "I'm afraid he won't be able to fly."

Dai Wenming pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking. He shouldered a heavy responsibility, and he completed the first step of HNA Flying Shark. He understood the principle of one effort and then another failure.

Dai Wenming, who was promoted to colonel last year, raised his head and looked far away. He knew that the No. 16 ship was not far away. It only took ten minutes to fly to see it. He was fully prepared. Other pilots increased their psychological pressure and strictly prohibited anyone from coming to see them off.

There were only them and the maintenance personnel in the huge first training area, but he knew that there were many people on the tower and at various positions waiting with bated breath for the news of his success. Everyone has been waiting for this day for too long, especially after Zhang Xueyang was injured in training, everyone's desire for success has become even stronger.

Several countries with aircraft carriers have experienced aircraft crashes and fatalities during the boarding stage. Some experts once believed that it is more difficult for a carrier-based fighter pilot to land on a ship than an astronaut's space mission. "Dancers on the edge of a knife" is a good way to describe the difficulty and danger of their work.

Seeing that Dai Wenming didn't look good, Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "Old Dai, if you can't do it, then everyone else can't do it either. You have to have confidence in yourself so that others can maintain their usual training status."

"I understand. I can do it as usual in training." Dai Wenming looked away and nodded heavily.

Li Zhan said, "If the weather at the base is bad, maybe the weather conditions in the training sea area are fine."

"hope so."

The two stood up and walked back along the center line of the runway. The sea breeze blew from behind, making people feel a bit chilly on the September morning. On the parking bay, ten J-15 fighters were lined up neatly, one of which was a backup fighter in case of unpredictable situations. The maintenance team and the remaining seven pilots were waiting on one side near the simulated ship building. There were several rows of chairs there, and everyone just sat and waited. From time to time, a few people got up and walked back and forth, their inner uneasiness and anxiety clearly revealed.

No matter how strong the psychological quality is, people are still unstable at this moment.

Li Zhan couldn't let this situation continue to develop. He came to the team and started to speak with a smile on his face, "I just took a look at the wave changes on the sea surface. The wave height near the coast is more than two meters, and the distant sea will be relatively stable, but Weather changes are still unpredictable, and we must be prepared not to be able to fly today."

Everyone was disappointed.

"Making history is not easy, very difficult. There will always be many unexpected situations. What we experience now will become the experience that future carrier-based fighter pilots will rely on. Through these experiences, they will not need to repeat the path we have taken. I think as long as we achieve this goal, no matter how hard it is, it’s worth it.”

Li Zhan naturally switched to the state of the little political prince and began his ideological education work, "We are pioneers and pioneers, and even more so the vanguard. I mean, any negative emotions will not help us complete our mission. Yesterday Mr. Zhang asked me to give a number to estimate how many people could successfully board the ship, and the number I gave was three."

The pilots couldn't help but straighten their backs and frown.

Li Zhan said, "From requiring all personnel to board the ship to reducing it to the current nine people, including me, to my superiors asking me to estimate the number of people who will successfully board the ship. Why is this? Because there have been too many accidents that we have no experience in dealing with. Due to the situation, many problems have arisen that far exceed expectations. We are constantly lowering the requirements for shipboarding, which shows that our mastery of shipboard technology is getting deeper and deeper."

He pointed at the eight pilots, "You eight have been selected from dozens of people. You should show your due level and show the momentum of the first batch of pilots on board to match your abilities."

Suddenly it started to rain lightly.

Li Zhan raised his head and looked at the sky. The clear sky was completely gray, and the drizzle of rain seemed to contain grievances, or he was moved to tears for the Chinese navy. I seemed to hear the loud bugle and the tragic march.

When Xiao Jinguang took office as the first navy chief, he wanted to inspect Liugong Island and needed to rent fishermen's fishing boats to the island.

In 1973, Xiao Jinguang, accused of "boarding a pirate ship", suggested to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission that while strengthening offshore defense capabilities, naval construction should timely and actively develop mid- and long-sea combat capabilities.

This is the most proposed plan by our navy to build a high-sea combat force, and it is generally believed that having an aircraft carrier combat force is a symbol of a high-sea navy. This process took us nearly 40 years and several generations of hard work before we reached the threshold.

Shouldn't it be moved?

Li Zhan expressed his feelings and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, we want to create a new history of the People's Navy, and I will follow you on the journey of the heart!"

Everyone had the same emotion, and finally realized what they were about to face. Compared with creating the history of the People's Navy, is anything else important?

God cried loudly.

Everyone retreated to the simulated ship building and continued to wait quietly for the order to be issued.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Han Hongjun ran out of the aviation tower and ran down the gangway. He ran as fast as he could and ran down until he reached the bottom of the simulated ship building. He rushed into the cabin and held the door frame with both hands and shouted: " They gave the order!”

As if a heavy hammer hit everyone's hearts, they all stood up in an instant.

Li Zhan lifted his flight helmet and said, "Gather on the deck, get ready to take off!"

"yes!"

Everyone rushed out and rushed to the simulated flight deck. It was still raining. However, after the order came, let alone rain, even a knife could not stop the officers and soldiers. The maintenance team and the ground support team began to prepare for takeoff in strict accordance with the procedures, with transportation personnel in place and takeoff assistants in place.

Li Zhan organized the pilot team and said simply and rudely: "Absolutely obey the orders and implement the backup plan immediately after the failed landing and go-around. We will have another chance in the future. I will be in the sky and accompany you behind you! I wish you all a smooth flight and a safe deck." Dinner is waiting for you!”

Saluting, he disbanded the team and headed towards his No. 533 J-15.

As the second lead aircraft and deputy chief instructor, Li Zhan was the first to take off, followed by Dai Wenming, who was the lead aircraft and the first to land. The nine fighters will fly to the No. 16 ship after the air formation, and then except for the first fighter to land on the ship, the remaining fighters will circle and fly on standby. If Dai Wenming fails to land on the ship, other fighters will not have to continue and will all return to base or make an alternate landing.

The heavy rain suddenly increased. Old Chen asked Li Zhan and got a positive answer. He immediately gave the takeoff order. The visibility was suddenly affected. Li Zhan relied on his rich experience to successfully ski jump and take off, which enhanced everyone's confidence. As a result, when Dai Wenming took off, the rain suddenly subsided, the clouds began to break, and the sun came down.

is a good sign.
