Great Power Fighting Falcon

The director's department was indeed a little confused. The cabin crew's instructions mentioned one word: innovation.

Innovation means that it cannot be the same as the previous confrontation exercises, but at least there must be some new and refreshing changes. This stumped the drill director department with Vice Minister Liang as the chief director.

On July 10, the Air Force's 2010 "715" real-force confrontation exercise director department officially moved into Beiku Field Station. In the next twenty days, it will be used as the location for the command, planning, evaluation, review and summary of the real-force confrontation exercise in the next 20 days.

Beikuchang Station has freed up the best yard for the use of the 715 Director Department.

Vice Minister Liang’s assistant chief director is Yang Heng, deputy director of the Military Operations Department. On the day when the director’s department officially arrived at Beikuchang Station, he made suggestions to Vice Minister Liang, saying, “Chief, I suggest you seek Li Zhan’s opinion. He is the person in charge of the 228 Project. The aviation department asked us to innovate. I think the basic reason is to use some of the research results of the 228 Project."

Vice Minister Liang frowned and said, "The 228 Project has not been launched for a long time, and now he is busy with actual combat drills, so he may not have a clue."

"If anyone has a clue, he knows better than we do. At least his views should be more in line with the spirit of the flight commander's instructions." Yang Heng said with a smile, adding, "Some of the flight commander's ideas are probably influenced by him. .”

Vice Minister Liang glanced at the huge office. The staff officers were busy performing their duties, but the most important details of the actual combat drill had not yet been formed, and there were only five days left.

"Go and have a look."

Yang Heng first called to inquire about the location of Li Zhan of the 101st Regiment. After hanging up the phone, Yang Heng looked enigmatic and said, "The duty room of the 101st Regiment said they were conducting live-fire training."

"Live-fire shooting?" Deputy Minister Liang asked in surprise, "How long has it been? Do they still have the heart to engage in live-fire training?"

Yang Heng said, "Xue Xiangdong, the second tower commander, they are doing ground target shooting today, and the target area is at the foot of the mountain to the west of the site."

"Let's go and have a look."

The two took a commuter bus to the top of the mountain where the weather observatory was located.

The biggest advantage of Beikuchang Station is its large area. It is uninhabited for dozens of kilometers. The nearest village is nearly 50 kilometers away. It takes almost an hour to maneuver by car. The 101st Regiment set up a small tower on the weather station a long time ago, where general command can be achieved. The most critical thing is that the second tower is the highest point of the station. Using a telescope, you can directly see the situation in the target area, which facilitates the commander to understand the specific situation of live ammunition shooting in real time, and even the target reporter is omitted.

On the other hand, the second tower is also a landmark. Especially during night flights, pilots can determine the location of the runway as long as they see the lights of the second tower. Since the top of the mountain where the weather station is located is outside the take-off and landing turning routes, there is no need to worry about affecting the normal take-off and landing of fighter planes.

Half an hour later, Vice Minister Liang and Yang Heng arrived at the second tower located on the hilltop south of the meteorological station. It could be clearly seen that it was a small tower with a height of only three stories and was made of concrete and steel bars after flattening the hilltop. This place is rarely used, and even some of the new recruits in the regiment don't know there is such a place.

In the tower, Xue Xiangdong and the shooting director formed a command squad. In addition, there were only three officers and two miscellaneous non-commissioned officers, and they had maintained the normal continuous shooting training of the three brigades.

"Chief." Xue Xiangdong saluted Vice Minister Liang and Yang Heng.

Vice Minister Liang waved his hand, "You go about your business, I'll just take a look."

Xue Xiangdong asked the shooting director to take command, invited Deputy Minister Liang and Yang Heng to the side facing the west, handed over the telescope, and introduced, "We have a careful plan, and the troops are conducting live-fire shooting training on the ground in strict accordance with the plan. At present, The Third Brigade has finished the battle, and the Second Brigade has also fought half of the battle. It is planned to complete the live-fire training of the three Brigades at 12 noon."

"Is this part of the actual combat drill?" Vice Minister Liang asked.

"No, this is our established training plan. In May we will conduct five live-fire shootings, three ground targets and two empty targets. This is the first time. The time is tight and the tasks are heavy." Xue Xiangdong said.

Yang Heng frowned and looked at Xue Xiangdong and said, "Commander Xue, the real-force confrontation drill is imminent, why are you still following the normal training plan? Although the scale of this real-force confrontation drill is not large, it is a confrontation between military region troops. , and it is an attempt in the context of the 228 Project. If you do this, it is not just your 101st group that will be embarrassed."

A J-7B fighter jet flew from north to south in front of the tower, and then turned west to join the attack route. A few seconds later, the fighter jet dived to attack the ground target, and fired rockets continuously, reaching a distance of about five kilometers from the tower. Smoke billowed from the target area. The fighter plane immediately pulled up and broke away, turned eastward and then directly entered the landing route and made four turns to land. Yang Jinshan on the other side of the main tower is responsible for directing the takeoff and landing of fighter planes. The two towers cooperated tacitly, and the fighters participating in the live-fire shooting formed a figure-8 route in the air.

The target area about five kilometers to the west is very eye-catching. You can clearly see the white circle when looking through it with an eight-fold telescope.

Xue Xiangdong explained, "Vice Minister Yang, the actual combat training is the business of the Kuangmo Brigade. I still have two brigades. I will definitely try my best to provide support and guarantee to the Kuangmo Brigade, but the decision on how to fight and practice is not mine. Here. And, you know, I can’t get in the middle of what the Mad Demon Brigade is doing, and I can’t influence the 228 issue. You should ask Comrade Li Zhan about this."

"Where are the others?"

As soon as Yang Heng finished speaking, a J-7E fighter jet roared past the tower, much faster than the previous J-7B, and its flying altitude was very low. What Yang Heng noticed was the paint on the fighter plane, which was actually gray. At first glance, it gave people a feeling of déjà vu, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be one of his own.

There is a huge pattern on the vertical tail, which turns out to be a devil. The number - 037 is painted on the head of the fuselage. If you look closely, there are five red five-pointed stars painted on the bottom of the cockpit.

"Oh, Li Zhan is here. He has gone to the first team for target practice." Xue Xiangdong was interrupted by a huge roar. When he turned his head and looked over, he saw Li Zhan's plane, so he simply pointed at it and said.

They had to look down to see Fighter 037 because the flying altitude of Fighter 037 was too low, so Vice Minister Liang also saw the Devil's Head logo painted on the left wing of the fighter near the wing tip, and the fighter number painted on the right wing tip.

"This painting..."

Xue Xiangdong explained, "Li Zhan believes that to simulate the Blue Army, it is necessary to simulate all aspects. Aircraft painting is only the first step. In the future, other aspects of simulation will be carried out, including combat training. Chief, the plan has been approved by the military region. You know this."

"I didn't expect the effect to be so realistic." Of course, Deputy Minister Liang could tell at a glance which unit of the Blue Army the Mad Demon Brigade was simulating, and he was very emotional.

He asked, "What does Li Zhan think? There are only five days until the war starts."

Xue Xiangdong sighed and said with a wry smile, "I don't know, he also keeps secrets from me. But he doesn't fight uncertain battles. He must have several plans."

"Captain Xue, the Air Force Commander ordered our military region to set up a director's department, which shows that he has full trust in us. But in the end, we are all from the same military region, and we definitely hope that the Blue Army will win the final victory." Yang Heng said in a deep voice carefully. Said, "The director's department has not yet come up with specific details for the confrontation drill. The flight crew requires innovation. I think in this regard, as the person in charge of the 228 project, Li Zhan should have more experience."

He just asked Li Zhan to help formulate the drill details.

This means that Li Zhan can formulate detailed drill rules based on the strengths and weaknesses of the Mad Demon Brigade!

"Let him come over and talk after the fight is over," Vice Minister Liang said.

Xue Xiangdong was naturally tempted. The directing department was all from his own military region, so it was only natural to formulate rules that favored the Mad Demon Brigade. Don't talk about fairness and justice. This world is based on the size of your fist. If your fist is not strong enough in other people's territory, you will have to swallow your anger.

The second master has this awareness.

On the other side, Li Zhan dived at a high altitude and fired, and the rocket landed accurately at the center of the target. When he skillfully pulled it up, the target area support personnel on the ground in the distance were relieved. Li Zhan's height just now gave people the feeling that he was about to hit the mountain, which was really thrilling. However, this is just the normal standard of the Mad Demon Brigade.

Yang Heng put down the telescope and said, "It is very dangerous to always follow the flight envelope. Practical training cannot do without flight safety."

"There is still a distance from the flight envelope. We have data on this. Moreover, the E-type used by the Mad Demon Brigade has much better low-altitude performance than the B-type. There is no problem." Xue Xiangdong explained.

Immediately afterwards, the other fighters of the Kuangmo Brigade rushed in at low altitude one after another, followed the route Li Zhan flew, dived and attacked, pulled up and broke away, one after another, moving smoothly, the connection was tight and the movements were skillful. They were stronger than the second and third brigades in front. many.

After Li Zhan landed, the commuter bus immediately took him to the second tower. While Zheng Chen was still fresh, he met Vice Minister Liang and Yang Heng.

After Yang Heng suggested "asking for opinions", Li Zhan immediately understood.

He is not a good person, so why not use it if there is an opportunity to "cheat"? All in all, he likes to see any opportunity that can give the enemy the most effective blow.

After careful consideration, under the expectant eyes of Vice Minister Liang and Yang Heng, Li Zhan said, "I suggest not to make too detailed drill rules and not to stipulate the specific actions of the red and blue sides. The director should only need to come up with The battle background, weather conditions, hypothetical targets and other objective conditions, how and where to fight, let the red and blue sides decide."

Li Zhan said to Vice Minister Liang, "Chief, our 101st Regiment is a pilot unit that cancels the subject of free air combat with altitude difference. In fact, the altitude difference has a greater impact on combat thinking and tactical thinking. I think when organizing actual combat drills, it is also important to The height difference in tactical thinking should be eliminated, and the red and blue sides should be free to fight according to their own abilities. We are not the director's department of filming, and the script will only limit everyone's performance."

The article "Abolition of Ideological Differences" has not yet been officially released. In other words, Yang Heng, a deputy division-level cadre, has not yet been able to access it. However, Deputy Minister Liang has read the version circulated in a small area and agrees with Li Zhan's views. It's not surprising that Li Zhan made such a suggestion.

They all looked at Vice Minister Liang.

"Let's go back and study it." Vice Minister Liang said, and then asked, "Li Zhan, seeing that we are about to fight with actual troops, your troops did not engage in targeted training and instead followed the normal training plan. In order to achieve victory in the exercise, It seems like you are very confident."

Everyone thought that Li Zhan would be more modest, or save two points for eight points, but Li Zhan replied without hesitation, "Chief, the Mad Demon Brigade will definitely win. I can issue a military order. If we lose, I will make a big statement on the spot." Captain position!”

This is really a military order.
