Great Power Fighting Falcon

The sun's rays are very strong at noon, especially at an altitude of 7,000 meters. It is easy to feel that the strong ultraviolet rays seem to pass through the mask.

Li Zhan lightly pedaled the left rudder and pressed the control stick to the left, causing the fighter plane to tilt left and turn left. Nie Jianfeng looked down. All he could see was bare mountainous desert without any green. When looking from a distance, the sky and the earth intersect, and I feel like I and the fighter plane are like the sandwich in a sandwich biscuit. If I don't pay attention, I will be crushed by the sky and the earth.

Flying without reference objects on the ground is easy to cause misunderstandings. Sometimes you may even think that it is the sky but you are actually flying towards the ground. Therefore, new pilots are repeatedly warned: Don’t trust your feelings, trust the instrument data, even if it is wrong!

There are three types of information most easily captured visually by pilots in the middle of any occupied console: altitude, speed, and pitch angle. Theoretically speaking, as long as pilots can obtain these three types of data, they can fly safely without any other data.

"Old Li, are we circling in circles?" Nie Jianfeng noticed that Li Zhan had been circling.

Li Zhan said, "There is no feedback from the ground target area yet. We have to wait for them to report the specific location of the target area to the tower, and then the tower will give us the order, and then we can conduct live-fire training."

"It's quite interesting. Everything is unknown and it tests the pilot's on-the-spot reaction ability." Nie Jianfeng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said as calmly as possible.

Li Zhan said, "Yes, this is actual combat training. Think about it, if a war breaks out in the future, in order to shorten the process from discovery to attack, the fighter aircraft responsible for air strikes must take off first, and then wait for ground reconnaissance troops or The aerial reconnaissance team confirms the target, and the strike fleet goes directly to attack, eliminating the need to take off and rush to the theater, which greatly improves the efficiency of combat."

"Yes, but only Su Liangqi can do this. Of course, the Flying Leopard can also do it, the J-11 series can do it, and the Su-30 can do it. Well, the advantages of long-range heavy fighter jets are reflected." Nie Jianfeng said.

Li Zhan said, "So why do superiors want to test Su Liangqi's live-fire shooting performance in this region? The western region is vast, and it takes hundreds of kilometers to travel. In the past, when driving Qiye, it was too embarrassed to take off without three auxiliary fuel tanks."

Nie Jianfeng laughed loudly, "Su Liangqi's long legs don't have such worries. By the way, have you ever seen Su Liangqi hang an auxiliary fuel tank? Maozi didn't develop a corresponding auxiliary fuel tank for him at all back then."

"The fuel capacity inside the aircraft is more than Qiye's maximum takeoff weight, so what auxiliary fuel tanks are attached? Don't you know best? In normal training, the Sixth Regiment takes off with full fuel several times. I dare say that the wing fuel tanks are definitely not filled with fuel. ." Li Zhan said.

"That's right." Nie Jianfeng said, "In normal training, I pack four to five tons and travel more than two thousand kilometers. Usually, I only feed them when they are on patrol."

Shrugging, Li Zhan once again turned left and drew a beautiful arc, saying, "Kai Qiye, what I am most worried about is the fuel quantity. I have to pay attention to the fuel consumption. Kaisu Liangqi is just the opposite. I don't need it the least." The worry is the fuel level.”

A fully fueled SU-27 can stay in the air for three to four hours without any problems. If the battery life is maintained at high altitude, it can even exceed five hours. The average flight time of a large early warning aircraft is only seven or eight hours. This is the biggest advantage of long-range heavy fighter aircraft. Long airborne time means strong continuous combat capability.

Despite the fact that the Yankees boasted so much about their F-15, their early models could only run 2,500 kilometers when they were exhausted, and later modifications struggled to go beyond 3,000 kilometers. As for the F-15’s shitty mounting capability, I won’t mention it.

So the Yankees' avionics are not a little or two better than Maozi's, but one or two generations more advanced. What they talk about is precise attack point warfare, and what Maozi flatters is "I'll fucking cover it all for you." This kind of combat thinking Guided the research and development of their respective weapons and equipment.

The torrent of red armor that was once deployed in Eastern Europe, the proposal of a large-depth armored assault combat theory, and the whole of Europe trembling under the red cavalry, are closely related to Mao Zi's combat thoughts.

Our country stands on the shoulders of giants and touches the heads of powerful enemies to cross the river. Therefore, it has the advantage of being a latecomer - if others have taken the leap, our road will be easier.

After turning around for more than an hour, I still couldn't feel that the fighter plane had become lighter. This shows how terrifying the fuel capacity of the Long-Legged Su is.

"Hey, Liangguai, the command post called Liangguai, received the answer." With the sound of slight electromagnetic interference, the second tower called, and it was Xue Xiangdong's voice.

Li Zhan quickly replied, "I received Liangguai, please tell me."

"Fly to the southwest of T Mountain first. The specific location of the target area will be reported later. It's over." Xue Xiangdong said.

Li Zhan replied, "Understood. To the southwest of T Mountain, the specific location of the target area will be reported later. Over."

Nie Jianfeng couldn't help but ask, "You know where to fly without guidance?"

Li Zhan raised the portable GPS navigator and turned it on, "I brought this with me and the aeronautical chart, so I won't get lost wherever I fly."

"You even brought a navigation device..." Nie Jianfeng was convinced.

"What can we do? Our satellite positioning system has not become popular yet, so we can only do this in an emergency." Li Zhan said, "But even without this thing, we will not get lost. I am very familiar with this area, and I am very familiar with this area." The second night flight live-fire training was in the same area. Just bring it with you just in case."

As Li Zhan spoke, he pushed the accelerator and sped towards T Mountain.

"Turn twice, maintain altitude and fly over the city ahead. There are civil aviation routes above and below you. It's over." Xue Xiangdong reminded.

Li Zhan replied, "Understood, maintain altitude, command post, you can check my heading to see if it is the best route. Over."

After a while, Xue Xiangdong said, "Adjust it twenty degrees clockwise. Just avoid the city area. That's it."

"Adjust twenty degrees to the north, complete."

Li Zhan adjusted the route and pushed the throttle lever with his left hand to the end. The fighter jet roared and accelerated towards the mission airspace. He was still calm and did not use afterburner rashly. Under such a mounting situation, it is relatively easy to exceed the speed of sound by turning on the afterburner. Once the speed of sound is exceeded, those rocket launchers will have problems. Because it will exceed the working environment of rocket launchers.

"Command post, arrived at the mission airspace, completed." Li Zhan reported.

It was already more than half an hour later, and we had run more than 500 kilometers. At this time, Nie Jianfeng had an intuitive impression of the vastness of the western region. It is unimaginable to be in the same province even if you fly for two or three hours. This is unimaginable in the central, eastern, northern and southern regions.

In the northern part of Inner Mongolia, it is long from east to west but narrow from north to south. If you fly north to south, you will need to use a deeper throttle to pass.

"Liangguai, you contact the ground to confirm the location of the target area. It's over." Xue Xiangdong gave new instructions.

"Understood, I'll contact the ground, over." Li Zhan replied.

Nie Jianfeng in the back cabin was confused after hearing this. When did the 73rd Division install a communication system for these SU-27s that could directly communicate with the personnel in the ground range?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw Li Zhan in the front cabin taking out a mobile phone. It was not a mobile phone, but a satellite phone! Did this kid bring a treasure chest? Why is there all kinds of things! Also, flying a fighter jet to make a satellite phone call? This picture is so weird and weird.

In this situation, he didn't dare to say or ask, so he could only store up his curiosity and cross-examine Li Zhan carefully when he returned to the scene.

"Old Nie, the superiors have new requirements. We need to strike first, save some ammunition and wait for orders to strike again. We probably want to see the effect of our first live fire before making a decision." Li Zhan said.

Nie Jianfeng was in a surging mood, "No problem, let's use the ammunition on the wings first and save the two inlets."

Li Zhan quickly calculated and said, "Okay, the four twin wings on the wing have a total of eight launchers and fifty-six rockets, which is enough to cover the target area. You can hit it accurately. Long-legged Su's opening show , it is also the opening ceremony for your Comrade Nie Jianfeng to officially transfer to the 73rd Division."

"Keep your heart in your stomach and I will take the shot later," Nie Jianfeng said.

Li Zhan said, "I will drive first. You will accept it after entering the attack route. If there is any problem before that, you will directly take over the control."

"That's okay. I'll be more confident this way." Nie Jianfeng thought about it for a moment and agreed.

It can be seen from the previous two-hour flight that Li Zhan will have no problem flying alone. It's just a simple dive and bombing flight. Even a J-7E fighter with a minimum airspeed as high as the minimum airspeed can achieve perfect results, let alone a lift king like the Long-Legged Su, which can take off at a speed of 240 hours.

Li Zhan had done a similar live-fire shooting once, and it was at night, so he definitely had more experience than Nie Jianfeng. The most critical thing is that Li Zhan wants to fly the fighter plane into the attack route, which means that he determines the attack route and the general location of the aiming point. But this was something that Nie Jianfeng could not control.

The No. 27 Long-Legged Sussex reached altitude. While Li Zhan was controlling the fighter plane, he took some time to communicate with the target area support team on the ground using a satellite phone.

"Tiger Tiger, I am Falcon, I am at the lower altitude. Over."

"Falcon, I saw you, but your direction is wrong. Can you see the red smoke?" Tiger replied.

Li Zhan said, "I can see that the target is very clear. The direction will not be wrong. I am professional."

"Very good, it's up to you. We have withdrawn to a safe distance, you can go ahead and do it." Tiger said.

Li Zhan said, "I understand, leave it to me, it's over."

Putting the satellite phone into the front pocket of his flying vest, Li Zhan gently pressed the pressure lever and pedaled the rudder to adjust the direction of the aircraft's nose. Third-generation aircraft become more and more comfortable the further you fly them. Unlike the J-7, after one flight, your hands and legs no longer feel like your own. To drive the first-generation and second-generation machines well, it is impossible to do without strong arm and leg strength.

"Old Nie, I leave it to you!" Li Zhan said loudly after entering the attack route.

Nie Jianfeng immediately switched the control over and continued with the following steps, "Understood! Look at me!"

The rear cabin of the trainer aircraft has absolute control. Even if the front cabin is unwilling or unable to hand over control rights, the rear cabin can completely and completely take over control of the fighter jet. Although the SU-27UBK is a combat trainer aircraft, this point has not changed. To put it bluntly, this is the principle of the trainer aircraft - the trainer team fighter aircraft has absolute priority control.

Nie Jianfeng pressed the launch button steadily, and the rocket launcher under the wing that had been powered on quickly sent out rockets. Fire dragons appeared in mid-air and rushed towards the target at lightning speed.

The target area is a 100% simulated building complex. They are all earthen houses that are almost the same color as the ground. There are red smoke on the north and south sides of the building complex. The attack area is between the two red smokes, basically covering the entire area. Simulated building complex.

Some army units often set up simulated buildings for urban combat training. After they are abandoned, they are handed over to other units as targets based on the principle of making the best use of them. Generally, it will be handed over to the artillery unit, and they will be asked to simulate covering and shooting targets in enemy urban areas. The flight commander didn't know how to contact him and snatched the target from the army artillery unit.

Nie Jianfeng controlled the airspeed at 250 kilometers, aimed and fired calmly. He has used the J-7 to shoot ground targets more times than Li Zhan, and he can deeply understand the difference in ground attack postures between the two models. In the past, he could not do well when flying the J-7. Later, after modifying the SU-27, he could easily perform well. The bottom line is that the airspeed of the J-7 is too high.

This is an unsolvable equipment disadvantage.

"Lao Nie, pull up, pull up, pull up!" Li Zhan suddenly shouted.

Nie Jianfeng immediately pulled up his horse and pushed the throttle lever all the way. The two AL-31F aircraft engines of No. 27 Long-Legged Su roared and burst out with powerful thrust, pushing the behemoth weighing 20 tons to climb up.

Li Zhan kept looking back, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"It looks like the effect is very good. It is estimated that the ammunition in the air intake can be left." Li Zhan said, "But let's wait for the target report. The ground support team will report the results to the superiors, and the superiors will decide whether to conduct a second live-fire training .”

Nie Jianfeng was still frightened. He would never say a single word about the scene he just saw. He said, "Hit, use up all the ammunition and return to the battlefield with ammunition is not a good idea."

"I think so too." Li Zhan smiled.

Nie Jianfeng became more and more convinced that choosing to stay in the 73rd Division was the right choice. What is the Flying Shark training team? If they can do live-fire training like this every once in a while, I won’t be a trainer of the Flying Shark training team!

How can it be so exciting to fight with real swords and guns?

There are two things that excite soldiers the most every day. The first is vacation. There is no need to train or attend education classes. This is always what officers and soldiers look forward to. There is no doubt that the second thing is to fire live ammunition and use real weapons. Fighting with a gun is always more exciting than gesticulating with an empty gun.

"Liangguai, I'm the command post. We fought well, almost full circle. The target area support team has withdrawn. You should also return to the field." Xue Xiangdong called Li Zhan.

Li Zhan hesitated for a moment and asked for instructions, "Command Post, I still have ammunition. Please continue the attack. Over."

There is a certain danger in landing with bombs. Those are unsafe ammunition. Xue Xiangdong only hesitated for a while before giving decisive instructions, "Agree, the two crutches will continue to attack the designated target and simulate a second attack. After shooting, follow the instructions Return to the designated route, over."

"Liangguai understands!"

Li Zhan said, "Old Nie, I will come this time and you will watch."

"Understood." Nie Jianfeng was still in a difficult mood. He was happy enough, and it was okay to let Li Zhan pick up some scraps.

When Nie Jianfeng was fighting just now, Li Zhan had been feeling and observing, simulating the attack procedure in his mind. Now it was time to actually do it, and he was brought in easily, smoother than imagined.

Li Zhan entered the attack route at a faster airspeed. Just when Nie Jianfeng was about to warn him, he suddenly discovered that Li Zhan had actually raised the speed brake on the back of the plane!

"Damn it, Lao Li, you really know how to play!" Nie Jianfeng was stunned. He knew that this kid couldn't be calm. He would never fly without some outrageous moves, even if he hasn't been able to fly Long Leg Su solo yet. .

Li Zhan chuckled. When the airspeed of the fighter dropped to 220 kilometers, he steadily aimed and pressed the launch button. He made a second shot at some areas that were not completely covered by the billowing smoke and open flames. After the strike, all the remaining twenty-eight 90mm caliber rockets were fired out.

Immediately afterwards, he retracted the speed brake and pushed the throttle lever but did not pull it up in a hurry. Instead, he continued to dive downward for a certain distance in an attacking posture before pulling up at a high elevation angle to climb, drawing a beautiful "U" shape. flight path. Nie Jianfeng noticed that the lowest relative height just now was three hundred meters, which was a relatively dangerous distance.

Li Zhan's rhythm was very good, and he would not be hurt by the prefabricated fragments of the rocket warhead that exploded on the ground. Some reckless pilots pretended to overdo it and pulled up too late, either hitting the ground or being injured by the ammunition they fired. Sorry, such examples have never happened before.

"Langguai call, complete the second attack, prepare to return." Li Zhan called the tower.

Xue Xiangdong breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "The command post has received it. You can return to the scene with two turns. Maintain a high altitude heading and be careful not to intrude on the civil aviation route. Over."

"Liangguai understands. Keep the heading altitude and return to the field. It's over." Li Zhan replied and asked Nie Jianfeng, "Old Nie, how do you feel? Is it particularly exciting?"

"Yes, and it's very meaningful!" Nie Jianfeng nodded heavily.

Li Zhan glanced at the fuel gauge and said, "There is still a lot of fuel. It's a pity that we, Lao Li, are not allowed to continue flying."

After three hours and more than 2,000 kilometers of running, the fuel gauge showed that there was still one-third of the fuel remaining, which made Li Zhan feel deeply guilty.

"Speaking of which, I rarely return before the fuel alarm. It was the same in the Second Division, and it was similar in the 73rd Division. Every time I clicked back, the alarm light came on when I saw the runway." Li Zhan Said with emotion.

Nie Jianfeng said, "It's too risky. If there is any situation, there will be no room for it."

"Can you say something nice? I wonder if I'm flying at the moment?" Li Zhan seized the opportunity and scolded him.

"Okay, okay, my fault, my fault." Nie Jianfeng was in a good mood and didn't care about Li Zhan.

The advantage of a two-seat fighter is that working together will not be boring or tiring, and at least there will be someone to chat with. When you drive a fighter jet like the Long-Legged Su, you are traveling long distances. It is much safer to have someone remind you not to fall asleep and hit the guardrail. This is one of the reasons why the people at HNA like two-seater aircraft. The sea and the sky are the same color, it is easy to have an illusion, but the probability of two people having the illusion at the same time is too low. The ones that are open and planted in the sea are all single-seat phones, and there are very few dual-seat phones.

Landing smoothly, Long Legs Su's opening show ended perfectly, and Nie Jianfeng answered the first test paper of joining the 73rd Division beautifully.

A 5,000-word chapter. From now on, I have to live with long legs, prepare diapers, and get a guaranteed monthly pass.
