Great Power Fighting Falcon

This year, there has been an obvious change in the training of the Air Force aviation unit. The first-class main force, the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division and the 9th Regiment of the 300th Division, have received training tasks. The 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division went to Beiku, and the 9th Regiment of the 300th Division went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for a month. .

Among them, the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division needs to conduct no less than three real-force confrontation exercises with the 101st Regiment of the 73rd Division during the training process. The specific subjects are still being studied by the Air Force.

It should be pointed out that the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division is not stationed at Beikuchang Station, but at Dongkuchang Station, which is about 500 kilometers away from Beikuchang Station. Dongku Station is a medium-sized station with a 2,600-meter runway. It was originally owned by the Air Force. In the late 1980s, it was handed over to the local government and used as a civil aviation airport for a period of time. After entering the 21st century, due to the requirements of combat readiness, it was It was taken back and used by the 73rd Division. It is guaranteed to have a certain intensity of use in peacetime, but it mainly exists as a combat readiness airport.

There are three air force airports, one army aviation airport and two civil aviation airports in the Beikku area. All civil aviation airports were originally owned by the air force. After they were handed over to the local governments, Beikku City vigorously developed tourism. On this basis, the local government carried out renovation of the two airports. After modification and expansion, it now has the vague meaning of being the most picturesque airport in the country.

From a nationwide perspective, the Beikku region should have the highest density of airports. It is a vast area with a sparse population and an important geographical location. It was a strategic military location many years ago, with a large number of troops stationed there. On the contrary, in economically developed areas where land is at a premium, military bases are being squeezed out step by step. For a time, in order to support local economic construction at all costs, the military made many concessions, which even affected the construction of national defense readiness.

After entering the 21st century, everything slowly returned to normal, and national defense construction also advanced in an orderly manner. As the basic part, military construction must of course come to the forefront.

Therefore, although the Dongku Field Station is rarely used in peacetime, the logistical support measures at the Field Station have always maintained a standard that can accommodate a flying regiment for combat operations at any time.

On July 3, twenty J-11Bs, eight SU-27SKs, and eight SU-27UBKs from the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division transferred from Xixianchang Station to Dongkuchang Station. The transition distance is up to 4,000 kilometers. For a monster with ten tons of fuel in the aircraft, it can fly four thousand kilometers at economical fuel speed with a mounted auxiliary fuel tank in one breath.

The last time Qi Hong brought the J-7E to the transfer site, he stopped twice on the way. For the short-legged 7E, this was already approaching the range limit.

Among the current fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force, the only ones that can fight an entire battle at once are the Sukhoi series and the J-11 series. The latter can fly farther than the former and is much more advanced.

This time, the two chief officers, Qi Hong and Fang Chenghe, who led the team, came in person, which shows that they attach great importance to this training in the west. Fang Chenghe was a military cadre and had not had much contact with political workers. To be fair, in terms of flying skills alone, he and Qi Hong were equal. This further shows that the Second Division attaches great importance to the training of the Sixth Regiment.

The Sixth Regiment is the number one main flying regiment of the Second Division, ranking first among the three regiments. The latest equipment most accepted by the Second Division over the years has been modified by the Sixth Regiment first, followed by the Fourth and Fifth Regiments. On the other hand, the Second Division is the ace force on the front line and is fully staffed. Except for the fourth regiment, the other two regiments are equipped with more than thirty fighters. The entire division is equipped with more than eighty fighter jets, which is a terrifying number.

The combat aviation wings of powerful enemies only have seventy or eighty fighter planes, and some even only have more than sixty fighter planes.

In order to provide good logistics support, the deputy commander in charge of logistics support of the 73rd Division stationed at the Dongku Field Station to coordinate the work between the station and the maintenance brigade of the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Division that had arrived earlier. At this time, the shortcomings of the Air Force's combat logistics support were exposed - the station could only support a single aircraft model.

Because there are no third-generation aircraft in the Beiku area, all stations do not have the ability to protect third-generation aircraft. For this month of training, the Second Division's maintenance team and related support equipment arrived at Dongku Station half a month in advance. Their maintenance staff also arrived in advance to familiarize themselves with the situation and confirm that there would be no problems with flight support. , the troops will transfer over.

You can imagine what it would be like during wartime: The third-generation aircraft that finally moved to the front line burned out their aviation fuel and ammunition, and then found that they had to drive thousands of kilometers back for replenishment. After a while, the cucumbers and vegetables were completely cold. .

As early as when Li Zhan learned that the Sixth Regiment of the Second Division had begun the transition work, he had the urge to attack the Dongkuchang Station with an air strike and destroy the Dongkuchang Station. Sukhoi and Shen Huoyi of the Sixth Regiment could only stare. It's a pity that this is not a war, and the director's department has not even been established, so he can only think about it.

After calming down, he also understood that if they transferred to the area where Xi County was located, they would encounter a similar situation. He increasingly realized that it was imperative to remove the shackles of logistical support and open up all the keys. The Air Force and the High Command may have long recognized this, which is why the joint support reform was tested in the Second Division. The most obvious sign is that the Second Division was equipped with J-10s instead of uniformly equipping the J-11 series. The same exploration was carried out earlier on the 300th Division.

Therefore, some people often say that to look at the current construction goals and future construction directions of the Chinese Air Force, just look at the Second Division and the 300th Division. Basically, we can get a glimpse of the leopard.

On July 4th, the aviation commander issued an order to start the confrontation on July 15th. Prior to that, both sides conducted training according to their plans. Li Zhan took a reassurance, and while continuing to engage in high-intensity flight training, he also spent sleepless nights thinking about ways to deal with the Sixth Regiment.

Qi Hong said something at the time: If you have the ability to bring new combat effectiveness to old equipment. Although Li Zhan was not there at the time, these last words still reached his ears. Li Zhan didn't think this was empty talk. Didn't he use the J-7B to break through the blockade of Radar Station No. 27?

Radar Station No. 27 is not an ordinary radar station. It is a radar unit with brilliant records and world-leading equipment. No one in the Second Division dared to say that they could do it 100%, but not only did Li Zhan dare, he also did it twice in a row, and even avoided two batches of four Dor missiles from the Army's field air defense missile unit...

However, everyone knows that one Li Zhan cannot win the war. Only countless Li Zhan can win the war. In the final analysis, the overall combat effectiveness of the Mad Demon Brigade represents Li Zhan's ability at this stage. Therefore, when Xue Xiangdong learned that Li Zhan had changed the high-intensity flight training subjects for the next five days to low-altitude penetration, he came over immediately.

Beikukuchang Station can be said to be in a state of chaos, with a tense war atmosphere everywhere. The opponent is Nan Ba ​​Tian, ​​whose name is scary enough. Moreover, this is the first battle of the 73rd Division's turnaround. Chen Hualin calls every day to inquire about the training results, which shows how anxious and serious he is.

"The instructions from the director's department are very clear. During the air combat confrontation drill, you did not follow the original plan to improve the air combat capabilities of the troops. Instead, you changed it to low-altitude penetration. What do you think?" Xue Xiangdong asked on the tarmac. Li Zhan just got off the plane.

Li Zhan took off his flight helmet and carried it in his hand. He signaled Miao Yu to seize the time to inspect and refill the fighter plane with aviation fuel. He and Xue Xiangdong walked aside, looked back at the No. 037 fighter plane that had been repaired and left the factory, and said with a smile, "Captain , you said you wouldn’t interfere with my group training.”

Xue Xiangdong was speechless for a long time, and then said, "You have to give me an explanation. What should I say when the division commander asks? Seeing that a strong enemy is at the door, and a fight is about to begin, instead of practicing aerial combat, you went to practice low-altitude penetration. , This doesn’t make sense!”

"Captain, this is the normal training content in the 228 subject. And you see, not everyone practices the same subject, but is divided into two batches. The first one is conducive to group training, and the second one is It’s because this is the combat mode. To throw bombs, you have to kick down the door. Half of the people cover it from the air and the other half penetrate and strike at low altitude. It’s a very standard combat mode.”

Xue Xiangdong said earnestly, "I understand what you mean. Don't you just want to overthrow the Sixth Regiment's lair? The idea is good, but it is unrealistic. Well, well, let's take a step back and let you successfully break through the attack. , that’s useless, what the director wants to look at is the air combat drill, and that’s the only subject.”

"I'm not an actor, and the Crazy Demon Brigade is not a theater troupe. If we follow a fixed path, why bother with the Crazy Demon Brigade? Look at my fighter planes, what kind of livery, Blue Army livery, our tactics are basically the same The tactics played by powerful enemies. After war-tested, no matter whose it is, it is good. If we learn and master it, it is ours. If we engage in red and blue confrontation according to the previous tactics, what is the point? Our work is still What's the point?" Li Zhan argued.

Xue Xiangdong's face darkened, "Li Zhan, don't be special, let alone disobey the director's orders."

Li Zhan shook his head and said, "I will definitely carry out the director's orders without compromise. I can even recite the content of the confrontation drill backwards. Captain, you don't have to worry."

"But you..."

"Captain, it is impossible for me to adjust the training plan at will, especially when it comes to the content of the 228th topic. Today the second division will come and tomorrow another division will come. As long as there are confrontational forces, do we need to adjust the training content to cope with confrontation drills? I think This deviates from the main idea of ​​exploring new training methods. Our training and operations cannot be dictated by our opponents. If the Mad Demon Brigade wants to come up with new ideas, it must take a new path that focuses on practicality. "Li Zhan said in a deep voice.

Xue Xiangdong's anger slowly subsided. What he was most worried about was that Li Zhan, who was young and energetic and had so many auras around him, would become arrogant and regard orders as nothing. Now it seems that he was overly worried. Li Zhan thought further and deeper. . It is true that the confrontation drill with the Sixth Regiment of the Second Division was the first battle for the 73rd Division to turn around. It was very important and critical, but the entire annual training plan should not be disrupted just because of this "quick time".

The ten-day high-intensity flight training plan arranges free air combat, but this is a daily training plan. The training plan for the "228" project research is in parallel. It is completely arranged by Li Zhan himself to intersperse or mix with the daily training plan. plan.

Xue Xiangdong was so anxious by the arrival of "Nan Batian" that he didn't think about it, or in other words, he thought about it but subconsciously believed that when "the enemy is at hand", he shouldn't focus all his energy and time on fighting the battle. Above?

He wasn't wrong, he just didn't look far enough.

Everyone thought that Li Zhan was holding back his energy to show off the old troops who had embarrassed him, but it turned out that Li Zhan didn't take the Second Division seriously at all. At least he firmly believed that the air combat confrontation drill with the Sixth Regiment of the Second Division was not important. The research subjects of the "228" project are important.

Xue Xiangdong had nothing to worry about. He once again made up his mind to get the logistics work done well, and at the same time, he was ready to rush forward and "take the blame" at any time.

Second update, the three owed chapters will be returned to normal tomorrow.
