Great Power Fighting Falcon

"In the past year, our Second Division has been at the forefront of air force units in all aspects of work. Comrades, the two banners of the annual advanced unit in military training and the annual advanced unit in political and ideological work are hung in the honor room of the division headquarters. This is related to everyone. efforts are closely related.”

The person who made an important speech was Colonel Qi Hong, the political commissar of the division.

"Not long ago, our division successfully completed the annual summative training, and a large number of aircraft transferred to training." Qi Hong seemed to be in a good mood and seemed to be high-spirited, saying, "Yesterday, all aircraft successfully completed the transfer to training, achieving We have achieved the goal of zero errors in flight training throughout the year! This is not easy. Three regiments and sixteen batches of 36 aircraft participated in the training, and they made more than 400 takeoffs and landings in seven days. Comrades, the average is six Ten takeoffs and landings every day. Such a high intensity greatly tests the support capabilities of each station and also challenges the pilot's physical strength. It is very worthy of recognition that it was completed without any mistakes."

Everyone's faces were very excited, they smiled slightly and subconsciously puffed up their chests. They have reason to be proud. There are so many aviation divisions, including Hainan Airlines, and only a handful of them can reach the training intensity of the Second Division.

Qi Hong suddenly changed the topic and said seriously, "But! Some problems were also exposed during the high-intensity training. I believe everyone knows, I am referring to the aspect of combat readiness duty. On the day of the transfer to training, the flight commander We randomly checked the combat readiness situation and directly gave the topic of simulated confrontation drills. Two batches of unknown air conditions appeared in the simulated airspace No. 2, and we actually did not have enough combat readiness on duty! Comrades! If it is a war, we will be eternal sinners. ! I have requested punishment from the headquarters. As the actual commander of the Second Division, the responsibility lies with me. The Second Division must be rectified, these are the exact words of the head of the Air Force Command!"

The temperature in the auditorium dropped sharply.

Li Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this is normal. The air engine failure of Deputy Commander Yu Chenglin's plane has been found to be caused by a deviation in the torque of a screw, which was probably half a turn too long. During the shaking process, the oil pipeline ruptured and leaked oil. The maintenance department has the main responsibility, and other departments cannot escape, and all must be rectified.

It would be abnormal if this in-flight failure was handled silently.

Because the Sky Division gave two consecutive unknown air conditions that day, the air conditions were greater than the sky, and everything else had to be put aside. That's why the malfunction of Yu Chenglin's plane was not so conspicuous. In normal times, the flight commander would have issued a military-wide report and criticized it.

No wonder Qi Hong was furious.

He reprimanded for half an hour, using this fault as a lead to enumerate the problems existing in various departments. Li Zhan listened carefully and found that no department was missed. The words hit the nail on the head, without the slightest hint of tact. Li Zhan was deeply impressed by the style of the division political commissar.

Run the army with an iron fist and act directly.

After the shift handover meeting, no one was in the mood anymore. They all returned to their respective units and departments, and immediately called all officers and soldiers to roll call to convey the spirit of the instructions of tonight's shift handover meeting. As the "parties", the Fourth Regiment paid more attention to it than the other units. Qi Hong criticized the Fourth Group by name at the shift meeting, but did not praise the Fourth Group by name. Perhaps it was because Li Zhan was a newcomer who had just been assigned to the fourth regiment, or perhaps because the air failure of the deputy commander's plane was not in place, the division headquarters was very angry.

From nine o'clock to eleven o'clock, the meeting was held via video link for two full hours. The regimental leader finished speaking and the political commissar finished speaking. The political commissar finished speaking and the deputy regimental leader, deputy political commissar and chief of staff finished speaking. The captain and instructor of the maintenance team stood up when their names were called repeatedly. They were trained from one training to another, with their heads hanging down the whole time.

This is just the beginning.

Starting that night, except for those on combat readiness duty, all personnel were required to conduct self-examination and self-correction from their respective positions. The regiment set up a rectification leading group to conduct random inspections anytime and anywhere. Other units, as in previous years, carry out safety education and internal hygiene to welcome the Spring Festival, and send veterans to welcome new recruits to prepare for New Year activities. Only the second division was shrouded in a serious atmosphere

More than a month later, New Year's Eve is here, and a festive and peaceful atmosphere has begun to envelope the country and its people. Chiefs have begun to frequently visit the grassroots to express condolences to the troops and grassroots officers and soldiers to celebrate the New Year.

Yu Chenglin felt a lot more haggard. These days, he had been following the maintenance staff to check his phone, not a single screw nor a rivet had been missed. He was even the deputy commander in charge of safety. As a result, there was a problem with his landline, and it was caused by lax maintenance work. You can imagine how stressful it was.

These subjective factors are unlikely to affect holiday duty.

All single pilots are scheduled to be on duty, and those with wives and children are placed as far back as possible. This is the tradition of the Second Division that is different from other units - other units are basically on duty during the Spring Festival holiday from top to bottom.

Li Zhan should be on duty more often. His home is in this county, so it is very convenient to go home.

In the past month or so, Li Zhan still followed the regulations for three ups and downs, and then flew five ups and downs solo. The regiment and division really couldn't find fault with him, so they stopped taking off their pants and farted, and directly included him in the list of combat readiness personnel.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Nie Jianfeng put on his flight helmet and walked into the flight briefing room under the tower. Li Zhanduan sat there watching the news and said slightly surprised, "Captain Nie, aren't you tomorrow?"

"We are partners, there is no reason to separate." Nie Jianfeng said with a smile, "The division has adjusted the duty, and two machines will be on duty starting today."

Sitting down next to Li Zhan, Nie Jianfeng pointed to the other side and said, "But usually it's not our turn. The Sixth Regiment's two Su Liangqi are always on standby, so they got on first."

Li Zhan said, "The superiors may consider the situation last time."

"It is extremely rare for the air traffic controller to randomly check two batches of unknown air conditions at the same time." Nie Jianfeng said, "However, based on past experience, the last time we randomly checked the loopholes in our division's combat readiness duty work, if you hadn't turned the tide, the whole army would have reported it. . Therefore, the airline will definitely conduct a second random inspection before the Spring Festival, or it may be during the Spring Festival.”

Li Zhan snorted and said, "I'm afraid if we don't do a spot check, those guys in the HNA simulated blue army are very arrogant."

"You just know that they claim to be better than others..."

Before Nie Jianfeng finished speaking, the alarm suddenly blared like crazy, and adrenaline was instantly stimulated. Seeing Li Zhan pick up his flying helmet and rush outside, Nie Jianfeng shouted: "The ones from the Sixth Regiment got in first!"

"Look at the warning light!" Li Zhan had already run to the door and pointed at the red warning light flashing wildly on one side.

With a sudden shudder, Nie Jianfeng quickly picked up his helmet and rushed out.

I was really afraid that something would come, and two batches of unknown information really came!

"The pilot is really enjoying it!"

Li Zhan thought to himself while running towards Fighter No. 37.

Assume enemy situation: If the unidentified aircraft wants to enter the regular combat readiness airspace of the Second Division, it must cross the airspace responsible for the naval aviation. Therefore, it can be judged that there are either multiple batches of empty messages, or the opponents coming this time are more difficult to deal with than before. Li Zhan didn't think there would be any opponents that HNA couldn't deal with, so it was certain that there were multiple batches of empty news.

When Li Zhan climbed onto the plane, he saw two SU-27SK twin aircraft from the Sixth Regiment taking off in formation. They pulled up early and pierced the east-slanting sun at a high angle of elevation.

I quickly checked each system, got permission from the aircraft maintenance, drove decisively, and immediately reported to the tower: "Dongsanguai requesting takeoff!"

At this time, Nie Jianfeng slowed down for a moment and reported in a hurry, "Dongguaidong is ready, please take off!"

The atmosphere in the tower entered a tense state early. Once an air condition occurs, it will automatically switch to first-level combat readiness. The personnel on duty are both nervous and accustomed to it. I don’t know how many times a year similar situations have to be dealt with.

"Dongguaidong, you can take off after checking!" The person on duty at the tower was Zhang Wei, the division's training staff. He knew that plane No. 37 belonged to Li Zhan, so he couldn't help but remind him, "Dongsanguai, you are the wingman. .”

After a few seconds, Li Zhan replied: "Dong Sanguai understands."

The two J-7Es slid out of the aircraft one after another and quickly entered the take-off position. Li Zhan turned to look at Nie Jianfeng on the left. When Nie Jianfeng gave a thumbs up, he pushed the throttle push rod to the bottom, confirmed that the power was rising normally, and gave a thumbs up. Nie Jianfeng stretched out three fingers, his white labor protection gloves very conspicuous, and began to count down.

3, 2, 1.

When the last number appeared, Li Zhan released the brakes, and the J-7E suddenly arched forward as if someone had kicked its butt hard. The strong thrust pushed Li Zhan to the back of the chair. The fighter plane became faster and faster, trembling slightly as it sprinted forward.

Amidst the rustling electromagnetic interference, Nie Jianfeng shouted: "Pull up!"

Li Zhan did not hesitate at all. He decisively pulled up the operating lever, and the fighter plane suddenly raised its head. At the same time, Nie Jianfeng also pulled up. The two fighters retracted their landing gear in tacit agreement and climbed up faster than the SU-27SK. When they reached mid-air, the two planes made a beautiful jump and flew higher into the sky.

The personnel on duty at the tower couldn't help but cheer in their hearts. The two-plane formation taking off with such smooth coordination and tacit understanding was really pleasing to the eye. From the perspective of movement specifications, there may be many pilots who can do it, but if it is coherent and coupled with the background at this moment, there are really not many who can do it smoothly and perfectly.

"Dongguaidong, this is Nan Zhi, adjust the heading to 120, you go to airspace No. 11." Nan Zhi took over the command and called Nie Jianfeng.

Nie Jianfeng immediately replied, "Adjust the course to 120, got it!"

"Be careful, there is a civil aviation plane above you." Nanzhi reminded.

Li Zhan could also hear this conversation. He subconsciously raised his head and looked up through the cover, but of course he couldn't see anything. Civil aviation aircraft usually fly at an altitude of about 10,000 meters, because this altitude is in the stratosphere. The altitude varies depending on the terrain, but the difference is not very big. People often say "10,000-meter altitude" mainly because this space is where civil aviation aircraft mainly move, and it is an atmospheric level that ordinary people can intuitively feel.

At this time, there was a thick layer of clouds covering the troposphere where Li Zhan was, like cloud mountains growing in the air. Obviously, the stratosphere could not be seen.

The edge area of ​​Airspace No. 11 is more than 700 kilometers away, almost touching the maximum combat radius of the J-7E. The command post considered that they might climb to high altitudes and cruise to save fuel, so they reminded them to avoid civilian aircraft.

"The cave has three turns and a climbing height of eight thousand." Nie Jianfeng said.

Li Zhan slightly distanced himself from the captain and said, "Understood."

The two fighter planes still maintained visual distance and began to climb upward together, rushing past the thick clouds above their heads. Through the clouds, they could basically touch the bottom of the stratosphere. This space could be used for high-speed cruising, saving fuel while also gaining altitude. Advantage.

"Hey, hey, go, go, go, target heading 210, speed 500." South Pointer suddenly called.

Nie Jianfeng said subconsciously, "It wants to run? Got it! Make three turns, turn on the afterburner!"

"clear!"

The two J-7Es turned on afterburners, adjusted their course, and rushed over, no longer considering the fuel issue.
