Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 367 Li Zhan is reduced to a supporting role

At five o'clock in the morning Beijing time, Suifenhe is about to usher in the sunrise, but it is still dark in Beuku.

Looking down from a thousand meters above the Beikku Combat Training Base, you can clearly see the brightly lit construction scene. After completion, the Beikku Combat Training Base will become the largest air force base.

Turn your eyes back and look up. The starry sky on a full moon night is the original appearance of the Beiku region. It seems that you can see the sky of the Arctic Circle as far as the eye can see, where there are more beautiful galaxies.

Putting on the oxygen mask and pulling down the goggles, Li Zhan asked the tower for instructions, "I am the cave unit, ready to enter the training area, over."

A triangular formation of three aircraft was flying at an altitude of 1,000 meters to the north of the combat training base. On the left and right wings of Li Zhan were Han Hongjun and Pei Xiaoshuai. The three J-11B heavy-duty fighter jets had two heavy-duty pylons mounted on both sides of the wings. Classified standoff joint attack munition.

This is the first wave of live-fire training. The first step is to use precision shooting with joint attack munitions outside the standoff zone. Li Zhan and two key pilots are responsible for this good start.

Outside the base, dozens of fighter planes from three groups of the 101st Brigade were all ready to take off on the tarmac. After the tower ordered Li Zhan's team to enter the training area, it immediately issued a new takeoff order. All fighter planes participating in today's live-fire training took off and headed for their respective mission areas in accordance with the flight plan sequence.

In the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center, Zhang Te, Niu Jun and others gathered in the duty control room. Hanging on the wall was a fifty-inch LCD screen. The information displayed on it was enough to make any secret-stealing agency ecstatic. Key information such as the real-time position of dozens of fighters in the three-dimensional space, key information about the fighters, their flight status, and their missions can be obtained at your fingertips.

The reason why this live-fire training is even more important is because it is the first actual use of the tactical intelligence interaction terminal integrated into the J-11B avionics system. It is also a phased test of the first phase of the construction of the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center. .

We have no choice but to launch live fire at this awkward time. The Beidou satellite system has not yet completed global coverage. The situation reported by the Administration shows that the satellite will not pass over the Beiku area until 5:00 to 6:00, so we can only choose to launch it during this time period. Conduct actual combat application shooting of classified standoff joint attack munitions. Without the guidance data of the Beidou satellite system, the classified stand-off joint attack munition is blind.

It can be inferred from this that the main guidance method of the classified stand-off joint attack munition is the Beidou satellite system guidance, supplemented by other guidance methods to form a joint guidance system.

When Li Zhan obtained the detailed technical information with a high level of confidentiality, he was amazed by the performance of the classified stand-off joint attack ammunition. Internally, they are referred to as stand-off aerial bombs, but in fact they are more expensive than ordinary aerial bombs in a warehouse.

It was said that the seeker alone cost several million. Li Zhan was so frightened that he almost didn't dare to look at it, for fear of damaging the seeker that cost millions. A seeker worth several million is not worth fussing about. The unit price will definitely drop after entering the mass production stage. I am afraid that this is already the unit price after mass production. You must know that the YJ-91 air-to-surface missile only costs a few million. You can't justify it if you only have a seeker of several million and it is still a slow attack ammunition.

All in all, including Li Zhan, the three pilots of the carefully selected strike team felt heavy pressure, and the two backbones of the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center, Zhang Te and Niu Jun, were not relaxed either. This is the first time that the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center has been put into actual combat use. The actual combat capabilities will be revealed today.

Niu Jun glanced sideways at one of the rows of monitors and said, "The satellite signal is connected."

Without saying a word, Zhang Te picked up the microphone and called the tower, "Tower, the satellite signal is connected and data transmission has started. It can be received."

"clear."

The tower quickly took action. Fang Chenghe called Li Zhan, "Dongyao disbanded the formation and received the target data as planned. Complete."

"Understood, Dong Yao, receive the target data, disband the formation, it's over." Li Zhan replied to the tower, then pushed the throttle lever to the bottom and pulled up the nose of the aircraft to climb to an altitude of 7,000 meters.

Han Hongjun and Pei Xiaoshuai distanced themselves from Li Zhan's left and right wings respectively. The dense three-machine formation quickly formed a loose attack line with a distance of ten kilometers. They galloped westward along the direction of the Beiku Mountains at the same height, trailing flames. It is very eye-catching in the night sky and looks like a shooting star when viewed from the ground.

Li Zhan arrived at the designated airspace and entered a hovering state, waiting for the next order from the tower.

But it was Han Hongjun and Pei Xiaoshuai who started shooting first.

One hundred and eighty kilometers away from the target area, two J-11Bs fired the classified joint attack munitions they carried at intervals of one minute. The advancement of science and technology has brought about a fool-like combat method. The outcome of life and death is often determined in a very short few seconds - press the launch button and you will die. Pilots tasked with attack missions do not even have position damage effects.

From a certain perspective, the use of aircraft cannons and aircraft fire to attack the ground can give people the most adrenaline surge, and the pleasure and excitement it brings are unmatched by long-distance strikes outside the defense zone. Another aspect is related to the fighting spirit of the troops. The more intuitive blood and fire can maintain the bloodiness of the troops, which is another important factor that must retain the so-called backward attack methods.

The slow joint attack munitions outside the zone were accelerated by the rocket booster to exceed the speed of sound, but only exceeded the speed of sound. Then the entire middle section basically flew at a constant speed at this speed, and would only soar to two degrees during the final dive attack. times the speed of sound.

Han Hongjun and Pei Xiaoshuai successfully completed the shooting mission. It was like chewing wax without a strong "shooting" feeling, but the order from the tower to return home arrived. Both of them are a little boring, and they are not as exciting as flying.

Li Zhan was still circling and waiting for orders.

Thirty minutes later, the tower reported that the four classified standoff joint attack munitions launched by Han Hongjun and Pei Xiaoshuai accurately hit the target. The preliminary damage report of the ground target reporting team stated that the attack effect was very good.

"Dong Yao, it's up to you to proceed as planned!" Fang Chenghe ordered.

"Dongyao understands."

Li Zhan accelerated his climb again and resumed level flight only at an altitude of 15,000 meters.

"The launch point is confirmed, the launch conditions are mature, request for launch, completed." Li Zhan carefully checked all the data and asked the tower for instructions.

"Dong Yao can be launched!" Fang Chenghe gave the order.

Li Zhan adjusted the combat mode of the two classified stand-off joint attack munitions to "Operation Two", and then decisively ejected them all.

The two standoff joint attack munitions slid forward and downward under inertia. After a few seconds, the retractable short wings opened. The free-gliding state instantly gained strong lift and turned into a gliding bomb. A few seconds later, the booster rocket When started, the propulsion force is output at a constant speed, which only ensures that the ammunition flies forward at a speed of hundreds of kilometers. After Han Hongjun and Pei Xiaoshuai launched it, the rocket booster of the ammunition burst out with powerful thrust and pushed the speed to supersonic speed within a few seconds. They chose the "Combat One" mode.

Li Zhan was not the last operator. The real shooter was at the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center, and the operator turned out to be Niu Jun.

Niu Jun clicked on the keyboard to input the target data, which was transmitted to the seeker of the joint attack munition outside the standoff area through the satellite communication channel. The automatic flight system would fly to the target with the munition.

But this is just the beginning.

In Niu Jun's hands were six completely different target location information data.

The two yellow dots representing joint attack munitions outside the defense zone were moving at a constant speed towards their respective targets. The staff officers standing behind them waited with bated breath for the results.

"The time has come." Zhang Te reminded.

Niu Jun once again quickly input target information data, and the data of another set of two targets were transmitted to the seekers of two joint attack munitions outside the zone.

The two standoff joint attack munitions began to fly towards new targets.

A few minutes later, in a tense atmosphere, Zhang Te reminded the time node again, and Niu Jun repeated the work just now and input the information data of the last group of targets.

The two standoff joint attack munitions in the air once again turned and flew towards the latest target.

The crucial few minutes have arrived.

The real target is a makeshift house and a scrapped car deep in the Beiku Mountains. There are three groups of six targets, tens of kilometers apart from each other in opposite directions. Even manned fighter jets can hardly guarantee smooth operations with such frequent target changes, so everyone is very nervous.

The test is the actual combat capability of the intelligence and communication system developed by the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center. Affected by the curvature of the earth, it is difficult for the ground to transmit target information to the ammunition seeker, so signal relay is required, and the carrier aircraft is an excellent information relay station. After Li Zhan launched the ammunition, he continued to hover at high altitude. The signal from the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center was easily received by him. Then the airborne terminal would automatically transmit the target information to the ammunition seeker from top to bottom, thus completing the strike. Target changes.

Li Zhan, who has always been used as the main force, played a supporting role in the actual combat application of the confidential type of stand-off joint attack ammunition. It was the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center that decided the final attack target and ensured the success of the attack. To be precise, it was the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center. Niu Jun is a serious technical cadre who has no power to restrain a chicken.

Niu Jun stared at the screen with his eyes wide open, not even moving. The other technical officers behind him also had the same expression. These technicians rarely even had the opportunity to shoot, but they had once been responsible for such an important attack mission. Those were two off-zone joint attack munitions said to be worth tens of millions. Each carried a 250-kilogram warhead. One of them could blow away the ground building of the Beiku Tactical Intelligence Interaction Center.

The target of using such a powerful weapon is in their hands, and the feeling that I have in the world makes them understand where the combatants' arrogance comes from.

If you have the ability to destroy a city, you're pretty good at it.

Two small yellow dots disappeared into the target area deep in the Beiku Mountains. Niu Jun quickly tapped the keyboard with his ten fingers to call up the target's position data, and then automatically compared it with the position data of the ammunition hit. The boring data seemed smart at this moment. After a quick jump, the final result was compiled into a percentage: 99%.

Niu Jun was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but jump up and pump his fists shouting: "Ninety-nine percent hit rate! Success!"

The technical officers burst into loud cheers after confirming that they were seeing 99% instead of 9.9%.

Zhang Te was the first to calm down and quickly reported to the tower, "Tower! The hit rate is 99%, and both shots are 99%!"

There was a burst of high-fives and congratulations from the tower.

Li Zhan, who was on his way back, curled his lips after learning the result of the battle, "Is this the end?"

It was too much for him to accept that a target could be destroyed with just a few keystrokes. He didn't even think that the last result of the "228" project that he had worked so hard on had overturned the most important "low-altitude penetration attack" subject, seemingly overturning it.

Since you can carry out precise ground strikes in this way, why take huge risks to penetrate deep into the enemy's army at low altitudes to strike?

Personally speaking, this live-fire shooting was the least exciting. I took off to the launch point, waited for the command to launch, circled for ten minutes and then returned. Any solo pilot could do it.

But on the way from the tarmac to the flight briefing room after landing, Li Zhan calmed down as soon as the cold wind blew. This is the trend of future wars and an inevitable choice under high-tech conditions. Specifically speaking of tactics, what surprised him the most was that the classified stand-off joint attack munition could stay in the air like a drone and be on standby. After three consecutive instructions to change the target, it not only caused no confusion but also accurately hit the real target.

This kind of combat method amazed him, and its technological advancement seemed to have reached the pinnacle of active weapons and equipment technology.

Think about it, in order to launch the munition when the target cannot be determined, the intelligence collection department quickly obtains the target location information and then sends it to the munition flying in the air, or dispatches a new attack target by changing the command if the target information is incorrect. . Ten pieces of this ammunition flying over the enemy are equivalent to ten attack aircraft hanging over the enemy's head. They can hit you wherever they want. It can even be derived from a variety of tactics, such as attacking in the east and attacking in the west, such as attacking hundreds of people at the same time. kilometers of several ground targets.

Thinking of this, Li Zhan felt a cold feeling in his heart for no reason. If a powerful enemy also possesses such ammunition, life will definitely be difficult if a war breaks out in the future.

It seems reasonable that the seeker is worth several million.

What is most difficult for Li Zhan to accept is that the military industry system has suddenly become stronger in the past two or three years, as if taking medicine. First, there were fourth-generation aircraft, then the 99G main battle tank equipped with a laser defense system, and now it is like a stealth killer. A secret type of stand-off joint attack munition, will there be something scary to sneak out for a walk in the future?

The complicated thoughts were followed by deep silence.

The emergence of a new type of weapons and equipment will lead to changes in combat tactics, and there are no exceptions from ancient times to the present. The full combat capability of the classified stand-off joint attack munition has yet to be explored, but once you think about it divergently, you will realize that the impact will be far-reaching. Maybe in the future, air combat and ground attacks can really be as simple as playing games. The shooter can sit in a three-defense fortification hundreds of meters underground and play with the controller, and maybe even take a break to have a cup of tea.

Such changes are not dramatic.

But Junior Sister Niu quickly made him realize that it was too early.
