Great Power Fighting Falcon

The Second Division drew an irregular square area in the west sea as a live ammunition shooting area. It is obvious that the main content of this live ammunition shooting is to shoot into the sea.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the competition between the Air Force and the Navy regarding sea operations. The Air Force has a large number of bases and stations in coastal areas, and coastal areas are the only areas where naval aviation is stationed. It can be said that coastal areas concentrate most of the elite forces of our military aviation units.

The naval aviation force has been weak for a long time, and the Air Force, as the big brother, has taken the initiative to take on the important tasks of air defense and sea strikes in the far seas. This was no problem in the past. It would be difficult for the naval aviation force alone to maintain the security of territorial waters and airspace without the big brother of the Air Force taking up the responsibility.

But today is different from the past. The HNA force is growing day by day, and more and more units have been established. They not only sell dumplings but also fly planes, and even directly take over the aviation force from the Air Force on an organic basis. Under such circumstances, the naval aviation force naturally hopes to take over its own tasks of distant sea air defense and sea strikes.

The big brother of the Air Force is unwilling to let go. The reason is simple - whoever has a stronger sense of presence will get more resources.

Under such circumstances, the two arms began to compete fiercely. You are engaged in sea strikes and far-sea assaults, right? Then I will also practice ground strikes and homeland air defense. After all, we are all aviation forces, so let’s compete fairly!

The Air Force occupies the leading position in air defense, and the Navy is the key service. The competition between the two gradually becomes equal, and they simply go hand in hand. The Navy also wants to understand that the naval aviation force will move toward carrier-based in the future. Yes, it makes little sense to stay on land. Some stations in coastal areas will basically become shore bases for naval aviation forces in the future, as well as bases for bombers that cannot board ships.

Therefore, there is no great need to compete with the Air Force for these.

As a result, the Air Force is happy, extending its scope to the distant sea, and using a large number of long-range fighters, bombers, and support aircraft to control the air defense of the distant sea. In this case, the best way for the navy is to develop into the oceans and exert its influence farther away. Competition between the military services can effectively promote the improvement of each other's combat effectiveness.

Under this background, many people subconsciously thought that since it was shooting at sea, it must be the Navy. Even the pictures and video materials attached by many news media were from the Navy, which made a big joke.

In fact, the Air Force has a service support base somewhere diagonally opposite the Xixian Field Station. The main task of that unit is to support the training of the troops, such as prohibiting navigation in designated sea areas, deploying targets, and maintaining the security of prohibited navigation areas. Etc., etc.

The live-fire firing area has been prepared, and now we are waiting for the troops to engage in live-fire firing.

At 3:45 in the afternoon, three signal bombs were launched into the sky, and the troops moved in, and the entire station suddenly came to life. The pilots quickly put the mission charts into their pockets and rushed out with their flight helmets in hand. The pilots parked on the far end of the apron were quickly transported by commuter cars, while the other pilots ran directly to the fighters on the nearby parking bay.

Today, two regiments were sent out continuously for day and night live-fire shooting training. The J-10A of the fourth regiment formed the first detachment to shoot first, and the J-11Bs of the fifth regiment formed the second detachment. In order to participate in this day and night live ammunition shooting, the Fourth Regiment stationed at the Guibei Field Station for training transferred J-10As from two groups over in large numbers.

It should be pointed out that the fifth regiment is currently stationed at Xixianchang Station with the division headquarters, and the fourth regiment was transferred to Yuebeichang Station last year. The Second Division still implements the rotation training model of three regiments to improve the combat effectiveness of the three regiments in various tactical directions.

What Yu Chenglin arranged for Li Zhan was a J-10A with a tactical number of 17. Yu Chenglin's plane was when he was the commander of the fourth regiment. It was in good condition, had never been soaked in water or had any accidents, and was well maintained. Of course, , there are some scratches during daily use, the fenders have been painted a little, and the wheels have also been deeply maintained. The good thing about this aircraft is that the engine and gearbox are in very good condition, very smooth and powerful. It is a high-quality fighter among second-hand fighters.

The flight mileage of this kind of aircraft is not very meaningful. Even the earliest batch of J-10A is far from the time of overhaul, so Li Zhan can pull the lever with confidence.

Sitting in the familiar but unfamiliar cockpit, Li Zhan was in a daze. It seemed that he was destined. Five years ago, on the first day when he left the army and came to the Second Division, it happened that the army was conducting a large-scale transfer training. Suddenly, Several batches of unknown air conditions appeared, and he was boldly promoted by Qi Hong. At the most critical moment, Yu Chenglin encountered a dangerous situation in the air. At that time, he was the only one in the sky who could respond. Fortunately, the mission was successfully completed.

Isn’t the situation then very similar to now?

The J-10A detachment started the elephant walk in batches of two according to combat formation. This method can dispatch more fighters in a short period of time and is becoming more and more popular among the troops. The aircraft fleet began to take off continuously in the form of twin aircraft, carrying various weapons and ammunition into the air and rushing to the live-fire training sea area.

Li Zhan noticed that two J-10As were equipped with air-to-surface missiles. It seemed that the Second Division was not to be far behind and began to pay attention to missile shooting training. One to two million air-to-surface missiles can wipe out the annual fiscal revenue of an ordinary county at a single base.

Nan Batian's reputation is not in vain. This unit is a benchmark and has always been a benchmark. Except for being dealt with by the Falcon Brigade in Beiku, they have always won every confrontation exercise. After the wing was broken in Beiku, the Second Division and a certain brother's unit conducted a confrontation exercise. A certain brother's unit saw that the Second Division was dealt with so miserably in Beiku and subconsciously ignored the Second Division. As a result, it was sullenly The second division pressed him to the ground and rubbed him hard.

The second division is still the second division, but you are not the Falcon Brigade.

Li Zhan was the last fighter of the J-10A detachment to take off. He carried aircraft fire, aircraft cannon, and LS-6 ammunition throwers. The last type of ammunition is actually a cluster bomb. Li Zhan is very experienced in using this type of ammunition, and Yu Chenglin intends to ask him to give a demonstration to everyone.

The weather in the area where Xi County is located is changeable. As a native of Xi County and having worked at the Xi County Station for nine months, Li Zhan knew this very well. The many dangers he encountered at that time were all due to sudden changes in weather. It is now May, and the area where Xi County is located has entered the rainy season, with very regular rainfall.

It usually rains between two and four o'clock in the afternoon and usually lasts for one to two hours. The annual rainfall is very high and the local water resources are very abundant. It also has a tropical maritime monsoon climate, and sometimes the weather changes very rapidly.

Such climatic conditions objectively increased the difficulty of training for the Second Division and effectively improved the combat effectiveness of the troops. Now the army's concept of combat training has begun to change. Wherever the weather is more complicated, go wherever it is to temper the combat effectiveness of the army under complex weather conditions.

The tower gave Li Zhan a takeoff command, and Li Zhan, who was already waiting at the takeoff line, pushed the accelerator and released the brakes to start rolling. The AL-31FN turbofan engine roared and pushed the fighter to accelerate. After reaching the allowed take-off speed, Li Zhan raised the nose of the aircraft with a clean pull rod, then immediately retracted the landing gear and turned to the left at a large angle before climbing. Gain altitude while turning.

The tower commander is a lieutenant colonel staff officer at the division headquarters, with the headquarters chief of staff on duty. The change in the concept of military combat training is also reflected here. In the past, tower commanders were required to have certain levels and positions. Now, all military officers, from division commander to regiment commander, must participate in combat training throughout the process. Tower commanders allow pilots and The staff members take turns.

Li Zhan's casual take-off technique amazed the tower commander and the division chief of staff couldn't help but nod. They are all veterans, and the level of pilots can be seen from their take-off movements. Of course they knew that the pilot of the J-10A No. 17 was the famous Little Prince with a lever, but they had never seen the Little Prince with a lever flying, and now seeing is believing.

Because the live-fire shooting sea area is only tens of kilometers away from the field, the participating fighter jets did not form a formation. Instead, they flew directly over as a shooting group at certain time intervals, then turned left and turned south to escape.

Li Zhan was at the end, and one minute later, Yu Chenglin led the J-11B unit to take off. Since completing the modification of the J-11B, Yu Chenglin rarely flies the J-10A. As a division leader, he often led troops on patrols in the South China Sea.

There is also a chain of contempt in the Air Force. Heavy fighters look down on medium fighters, and medium fighters look down on light fighters. Specifically, those who drive the J-11 series look down on the J-10 series, and those who drive the J-10 series look down on the J-7 , J-8.

Generally speaking, unless all units are equipped with J-10s, the leaders of units equipped with both J-10s and J-11s usually fly heavy fighters such as J-11s.

Later, when the J-10 and the J-11 fought against each other, the J-11 was taught how to be a good person. The one who drove the J-11 was not so arrogant when facing the one who drove the J-10.

Divided according to grade, the Air Force's main fighter aircraft adopts a high-low mix, with the J-11 being high-end and the J-10 being low-end. The J-10 was originally designed to replace the J-7. After all, heavy fighter jets have natural advantages. Especially for the air force that yearns for far-sea strikes, the appeal of heavy fighter jets is extremely powerful.

In free air combat, the J-11 cannot defeat the J-10 at all. However, the Air Force's obsession with the J-11 remains unaffected. It is believed that before the fourth-generation aircraft is fully put into service, the J-11 series of heavy fighter jets will carry the banner of the Air Force.

While climbing, Li Zhan found a large cumulonimbus cloud in the southeast moving northwest, and immediately called the tower, "Tower, there is a large cumulonimbus cloud in the southeast, and it is moving toward the site. Let the weather station pay attention to it. Over."

"The tower has received it, and the unit has been implemented according to the plan. It's over."

"Yaoguai understands!"

Li Zhan was flying at an altitude of two thousand meters above sea level, and adjusted the course to 270 degrees according to the navigation chart, which is due west. The live-fire shooting area is in the southwest, so he has to fly west first, reach the turning point, then turn south, and then establish an attack route to strike the designated target.

At this time, it happened to be when the fighter in front turned left to break away after finishing shooting. The other pilots were able to watch Li Zhan's shooting demonstration at close range through the good vision on the left wing. But there was no way to get very close. For safety reasons, other pilots had to keep a certain distance from Li Zhan.

During the whole process of Li Zhan's shooting, only the J-11BS piloted by Yu Chenglin accompanied the action. The pilots in the rear cabin were responsible for shooting. They were also Li Zhan's support aircraft, observing the No. 17 J-10A from the outside to prevent accidents.

The forbidden sea area suddenly fell into war.

Two shooting groups in a group entered the attack route one after another. Their attack routes were all different. In fact, they simulated our air strike fleet attacking enemy islands and sea targets with firepower from different directions, which required speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

Enter quickly, hit quickly, hit accurately, hit hard, and exit quickly.

There are several islands and reefs in the prohibited sea area. The service support force has set area targets and point targets on them. At the same time, it has deployed mobile targets that follow the current in the designated sea areas. The most difficult thing is to follow the moving target. It may be just a piece of white cloth a few square meters in size, or even a small sampan.

To hit a target, you must first find it.

At this time, the purpose of beating the troops was achieved. The pilot entered the mission airspace to conduct a search, using various methods to find the target in the vast sea.

The previous shooting went relatively smoothly, and the targets fixed on the islands and reefs were easy to find. The pilot entered the attack route according to the route on the aeronautical chart, aimed and fired, poured out the aircraft fire, and visually inspected the damage effect when turning away.

It is as simple as infantry shooting accurately from prone position.

Li Zhan had only one fixed goal, which was to use the LS-6 ammunition thrower to carry out coverage bombing within a range of 500 meters centered on the island and reef. Then he needs to use aircraft fire to attack those moving targets that are drifting with the current.

If it doesn’t have something difficult, it would really be a shame to be called the little prince of the drawbar.

The fighters in front had all finished shooting, and it was time for Li Zhan to show off his superb and handsome flying shooting skills.

He moved his muscles up and down, and from time to time he would do a few barrel rolls to make the ammunition and fighter planes more closely connected, and then he would run at a different speed to open up his body.

He called the tower, "Tower, get ready, request attack, over."

"Yaoguai can carry out the attack as planned, over." Amidst the buzzing electronic interference, the tower commander's voice sounded hopeful.

Everyone wanted to see this legend in action.

Come on, show it.

Li Zhan adjusted the flight altitude and finally set it at a sea altitude of 2,300 meters. He then established an attack route and pointed the nose of the aircraft towards the islands and reefs. Setting the attack height is very critical, because what is being thrown down is the ammunition dispenser. In order to ensure accurate coverage, the fighter planes cannot dive and attack like aircraft fire, but fly over the target in a horizontal bombing method. Therefore, factors such as attack altitude, flight speed, wind direction and wind strength will all affect the landing point.

Li Zhan used the shooting Zhuyuan computer to calculate the shooting Zhuyuan, and found that there were some errors in the mental arithmetic data, so he made some adjustments based on his own experience. This is the most important thing in the stage from being able to use it to being good at using it.

"Yaoguai fires ammunition! Repeat, Yaoguai fires ammunition!"

When he was about to arrive at the shooting point, Li Zhan immediately pressed the launch button after reporting. The LS-6 ammunition dispenser on the pylon detached and flew forward and fell under the action of inertia. After reaching the parachute opening height, it landed and opened. The LS-6 ammunition dispenser stabilized its posture, and then six bullets were fired. The heads were separated, and then the six bullet heads separated more submunitions again, fissioning layer by layer. By the time they reached a height of 500 meters, hundreds of submunitions had separated and appeared, as if they were falling from the sky. A cloud of rain fell, falling faster and faster under the influence of gravity.

In an instant, all the seawater within a radius of 500 meters around the island seemed to suddenly boil, raising countless thin streams of water, just like Tang Bohu sprinkled autumn fragrance on Tang Bohu's father's face. A scene where a handful of thunderbolt steel balls exploded.

Li Zhan quickly turned away and was shocked by the effect of this attack when he looked down. This kind of ammunition is simply a nightmare for enemy light armored troops and infantry troops!

Such ammunition may not have strong cutting power, nor does it have the ability to attack fortresses, but for light armored troops and infantry units with weak protection, this kind of ammunition that can release a large amount of ammunition in a short period of time to form a covering barrage is definitely a good choice. A nightmare existence.

Except for Li Zhan, all the J-10A detachments returned to replenish and prepare for the second round of live-fire training. They had already seen the use of the LS-6 ammunition dispenser demonstrated by Li Zhan. Yu Chenglin drove the J-11BS and accompanied Li Zhan all the time, observing the entire process at close range.

Next, Li Zhan will follow the J-11B unit to conduct live fire shooting, and he will act as an instructor to guide the troops' shooting.

The J-11B's aircraft fire scene is not so exciting. The J-10A is more flexible and enters at a faster speed, while the J-11B enters and fires slowly like an old man walking around. In terms of low-altitude and low-speed performance, the J-11B - 11B is better, so it can often hit more accurately. Coupled with the large size of the J-11B, it can put a lot of psychological pressure on enemy personnel during dive attacks.

Anyone who sees a thirty-ton fighter plane diving towards them will be scared.

Li Zhan also saw the progress of the Second Division while giving guidance. Compared with five years ago, most of the pilots in the Second Division have reached the level of excellence in Li Zhan's mind. Again, the best way to improve combat effectiveness is to burn more aviation fuel and fire more live ammunition. Good pilots are built with massive amounts of aviation fuel and ammunition.

Soon, the J-11B detachment also completed the first round of live ammunition firing and began to return home. Li Zhan continued to hover over the prohibited sea area, waiting for instructions to attack moving targets on the sea.

Yu Chenglin will continue to accompany Li Zhan on the flight and film the process of hitting moving targets on the sea to make a video tutorial. This is the main purpose of Yu Chenglin letting Li Zhan serve as a guest instructor. Everyone believes that what Li Zhan flies is the standard, what he flies is the standard, and he is the super ace pilot who sets the standard.

Work in all aspects is being carried out steadily, time is gradually reaching the point, and the countdown to attack moving targets on the sea has entered.

It will be a bloody storm!
