Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 439 Death of National Second-Level Protected Animal

I remember the time three years ago when the weather suddenly changed and I planned to land in Guibei, but was struck by lightning, causing a fire in the engine room and had to force myself to make an emergency landing at this field. Li Zhan felt more and more that he and Guibei Station must have an unforgettable period. It’s a story that’s definitely unforgettable if you don’t tell it.

For example, I am now flying a J-11B to take off in the south for the first time. In the previous training, the two-seater aircraft was used with the instructor's seat in the rear cabin, but now he has returned to his favorite state - having absolute and complete control over the aircraft.

Flying is a very subjective behavior, which fully reflects the all-round quality of the pilot. Every control action can express a large amount of information. The "Sydney" electronic analysis system developed by the "Blue Army Forces" can judge the personality of the pilot based on his voice.

Li Zhan was nicknamed "South China Sea Mad Dog" because of this, which fully reflected his flying character.

At this moment, when Dai Mengmin saw Li Zhan pull out an extremely rough take-off, he naturally remembered this nickname and recalled the past. He quickly stepped on the accelerator to keep up, quickly approaching the completion of the formation. He, Liang Jiahui, and Quan Yudong were somewhat in a hurry.

Li Zhan in the front always sat in the back cabin and rarely interfered with the students' driving. They had never seen Li Zhan's flying style.

Suddenly there was a lot of pressure.

Li Zhan kept looking back at the left and right positions, reminding: "Follow closely, Yudong should be careful not to be too far away from you."

"Understood!" Quan Yudong was highly concentrated and cautiously approached the lead aircraft, controlling the distance through visual inspection and instruments.

The position of the second lead aircraft is relatively easy to fly. You only need to grasp the altitude difference with the first lead aircraft and fly at an eastward heading speed, and there will be no problems. However, the second-in-command aircraft has to fly in any position at any time and is an all-round substitute, so the quality requirements for the pilots are relatively high.

After flying over the urban area, the four J-11B heavy fighter jets lowered their altitude at extremely small intervals. From the ground, it looked like the entire formation was descending in a small dive at the same time. Their movements were neat and tidy.

"Be prepared to enter the mountains, pay attention to observation." Li Zhan reminded, as the formation entered Furan Province.

In fact, the landforms in northern Guangxi are of the same type as those on the Furan side. The mountains in northern Guangxi are more delicate and have more water, so the landscape is said to be the best in the world. The mountains in Furan Province have a southern delicacy with a hint of toughness, which is very similar to the character of the people in Furan Province. It is said that where the soil and water support the people, it is not without reason that the people of Furan Province occupy an important position in the history of China.

"Fly through the mountains, be vigilant." Li Zhan reminded again.

Except for the two urban areas it passes through, the rest of the 700-kilometer training route is all mountainous, with no flat areas worth mentioning at all. Compared with Beiku Canyon, this route has its own characteristics and difficulties. The tall and precipitous Beiku Canyon is daunting, and this route, officially named the first breakthrough by the Fifth Regiment, is a heart-stirring route with nine twists and turns.

"Height eighty."

Li Zhan slowly adjusted the flying altitude, and the other fighters kept pace with him. The second-in-command aircraft Dai Mengmin always maintained a height difference of 20 meters and a distance of 500 meters from him. This was almost the limit. No matter how close it was, It is easily affected by the wake of the leading aircraft.

All fighters have standard mounts: four air-to-surface missiles and two air-to-air missiles. This is the most commonly used mount configuration for ground strikes when having air superiority over the battlefield. The two air-to-air missiles can only play a self-defense role.

It is the early winter season, and tourist attractions are well visited. Even if there are not huge crowds of people during the long holiday, they will not be deserted. In fact, most scenic spots in Furan Province have never had a true tourist off-season or peak season. The so-called mountains and seas The sea has a unique advantage of being surrounded by a large number of scenic spots. Many areas have even boosted their economy by relying on tourism in scenic spots, and their lives are leisurely, such as Zhangjiajie.

The first penetration route crosses Zhangjiajie from west to east and flies over the famous Tianmen Mountain. Every time Li Zhan saw the hole, he wanted to get in and come out from the other side.

Hundreds of tourists on the Tianmen Mountain Observation Deck heard the rumbling sounds from the other side of the mountain at the same time. Everyone looked far and wide, trying to find some clues.

"Thunder? Is it going to rain?" A beautiful woman raised her head and looked at the sky. The sky was beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds. Her neck was also beautiful, with fair skin and a delicate silver necklace hanging on her collarbone.

"No, the weather is very nice." Another beauty said.

"It's good to have rain." A wretched man secretly observing them not far away said to himself, greedily imagining the seductive scene of the beautiful woman in front of him being wet by the rain. The one wearing a white shirt would definitely be the prettiest. When I thought about this, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself. I thought that if it rained, the price would increase. When I lowered my head and saw a pile of dozens of brand-new umbrellas on the ground, I smiled happily. It's raining.

Isn't it? Umbrellas come as a bonus with cosmetics. You can collect five yuan each and sell fifty-one umbrellas. If you sell a few umbrellas a day, your living expenses will be covered. In fact, this wretched man with yellow teeth earns over 10,000 yuan a month, and the combined salary of the two beauties who look like corporate white-collar workers may not be as much as his.

"Why is it raining? It's a plane!" The wretched man's sharp eyes saw the planes flying over the mountains to the west at a glance. When he looked again, he saw that there were not one plane but four planes.

Immediately afterwards, the tourists discovered that the planes were flying straight towards this side. They were very, very low, giving the impression that the nose of the plane was rushing towards them. The speed was very fast, and it became very big in the blink of an eye. Suddenly everyone found that the speed of the plane slowed down, allowing everyone to have more time to observe these aircraft that had never been seen before or were extremely rare.

"It's a fighter jet!" the knowledgeable person shouted.

Immediately, someone who knew more confidently said loudly, "It's Su Erqi. He bought a very advanced fighter jet from Russia. He bought dozens of them in the 1990s. They are our most advanced fighter jets."

Someone immediately retorted, "Where did you put the black ribbon? There are also J-10s. They don't know how to pretend, but they are the most advanced fighter jets. Take a look, those few are most likely domestic J-10s." Eleven, the avionics system is completely different!”

"Who the hell are you talking about?"

"Tell me what's wrong with you and attack your mother!"

"Hold!"

A fight broke out.

Li Zhan saw many tourists on the observation deck early. In order to reduce the impact of noise on them, he slowed down after crossing the hill and adjusted the direction of the entire formation to the left so that the people could see the fighter planes. Beautiful profile.

The fighter jet formation flew slowly from the north of the observation deck, and tilted to the left at a certain angle, allowing the tourists to see the missiles mounted under the wings. The majestic appearance made this wave of tourists feel worthy. This line. All the scenery is fake, this air show is the best scenery.

Howls and screams came one after another, some were waving hats and scarves, some were jumping and shouting "Long Live the People's Liberation Army", and the two beauties could clearly see the pilot in the cockpit of the first plane turning around with a handsome face. Their faces changed color, and those white labor gloves gave a cool salute. The two beauties immediately fell in love.

"so hot!"

"I want to sleep with him!"

…

Li Zhan waved and drove away in the plane.

"Stop looking at the beauties. The paperclip area is ahead. Focus on it." Li Zhan said.

Quan Yudong couldn't help laughing and said, "Teacher, it seemed that you were greeting the lesbians on the observation deck just now. I even saw them screaming."

"It's nothing." Li Zhan said without blushing or out of breath, "Follow closely for a while. If you feel something is wrong, pull up and get away immediately. Don't push in."

"clear!"

After a small interlude, the penetration formation immediately faced the most difficult stage.

Li Zhan was also very energetic

The airflow in the Paperclip area was the most unpredictable, changeable and complex weather he had ever encountered. Theoretically, such a complex weather area was a restricted area for flying. Not all airspace can be reached by aircraft, just like not all areas can be reached by vehicles. The sense of achievement brought by challenging the impossible to conquer virgin territory is very strong, which is why the adventure challenge movement is so popular among people.

At this time, Li Zhan and the other four were in the same mood. I can fly better when others can fly, and I can fly when others can't. Having this ability means having combat power that exceeds the enemy's. Exactly what combat pilots have been pursuing.

Entering from the mountain pass on the west side, flying roughly eastward in the direction of the wind, controlling the distance from the mountains on the left and right by pressing the altitude, instructing Quan Yudong and Liang Jiahui to reduce the distance and make the entire formation denser. Li Zhan did not act too hastily but slowly guided his wingmen to shrink the distance step by step, which meant that the airspeed of the formation could not be too fast at the beginning.

The entire Paperclip area is more than fifty kilometers long from east to west, and the space in the middle is the largest but has the strongest turbulence.

It is difficult for radar to distinguish several targets that are close together. Most radars will think that it is one target and it is a large target. Fighters fly at ultra-low altitudes in dense formations, making it extremely difficult for ground radar to detect them. Even for airborne early warning aircraft, their downward-looking search capabilities will be affected by factors such as terrain echoes, resulting in a greatly reduced detection effect.

Ultra-low-altitude penetration attacks are therefore also considered to be high-risk, high-reward combat methods.

Soon we arrived at the core area of ​​the Paperclip area. After being blocked by the mountains, it formed a gyration. Under the influence of several irregularly arranged mountains, the airflow in the core area was completely traceless and irregular, making it difficult for the pilot. To implement advance operations, everything needs to be improvised. The J-11B's avionics system has made great progress compared to its predecessor, the Su-27, and its various sensing capabilities are very strong. Even so, Li Zhan and others did not dare to neglect it, because the space left for them to react was extremely narrow.

They simulated a variety of situations and conducted repeated theoretical calculations. The conclusion they reached was based on the fact that four aircraft flew in a dense formation at ultra-low altitude and high speed. If they encountered strong airflow, each aircraft would have only 1.5 seconds at most to react.

That is to say, after the occurrence of irreversible danger symptoms, the pilot must respond effectively within 1.5 seconds, otherwise it will cause an accident.

To some people, one point and five seconds is just a shiver in a warm space, but for an aircraft with an airspeed of hundreds of kilometers, it is a moving distance of hundreds of meters, and for a densely packed aircraft with a distance of less than ten meters, For the formation, a delay of 1.5 seconds means disaster.

But having said that, the average fighter pilot can perform several operations within 1.5 seconds. Considering the speed of fighter aircraft's reaction, this time is not relatively tight. That’s why the training program was approved.

Moreover, these students are all experienced veterans, and each of them has several apartments.

Li Zhan and the other four people concentrated on maintaining the stability of the flight attitude. When strong crosswinds were clearly felt, they slightly adjusted the position of the joystick to maintain a certain deflection moment of the fighter aircraft to offset the impact of unbalanced lift. Such small maneuvers need to be performed continuously, just like driving a large truck. If you hold the steering wheel firmly and cannot run in a straight line, you need to make frequent slight left and right movements to keep the car in a straight line.

The first lead aircraft is obviously extremely important. Not only must you stabilize your posture, but you must also have an overall view of the situation, ensure that your flying position is appropriate, and leave enough space for the left and right wingmen, otherwise your first lead aircraft will stick to the side. If Shan Fei were to fly, the left and right wingmen would have to hit the mountain.

During formation flying, the wingman's attention is focused on the lead aircraft, using the lead aircraft as the only reference to determine his attitude. It's like two people working in tandem, with the person behind him pressing against the back of the person in front, moving his left foot out and his right foot out at the same time, so as to achieve absolute uniformity. At this time, the latter person's task is to follow the previous person closely regardless of whether there are obstacles in front or heavy trucks coming from the side.

This is the current situation in a dense formation of four aircraft, with the lead aircraft taking the lead.

Above them, the J-11BS responsible for recording the whole process followed closely. The high-definition camera on the reconnaissance pod it carried captured the flight path of the dense formation of four aircraft. Sometimes it was even clear enough to pass From top to bottom, I could see the pilot's control actions in the cockpit, especially Li Zhan, who was wearing white labor protection gloves. The white color was too conspicuous.

Dai Mengmin's position was relatively relaxed. He paid attention to the terrain and could fly out of the paper clip area in more than a minute. It was obvious that it was not impossible to cross such a strong airflow airspace at ultra-low altitude after finding a countermeasure. In fact, he and most people believe that there are only theoretical flight restrictions.

"Be prepared to leave the Paperclip area." Li Zhan reminded.

Ahead is an obvious landmark, a mountain peak that looks like a backrest. To the south is the "backrest" and to the north is the "cushion." The four-machine formation has to gain altitude and pass by the "cushion" before exiting the paper clip area. Not far ahead we entered Zhangjiajie city.

Just as the formation was preparing to fly over the "cushion", Dai Mengmin, whose flying altitude was 20 meters higher than that of the first lead aircraft, suddenly saw a black shadow rushing toward him in front of him. Before he could react, he saw When the first lead plane suddenly climbed up vertically on the belly of the fuselage and faced forward, blocking the black shadow.

Everything happened in a flash of lightning.
