Great Power Fighting Falcon

In fact, Li Zhan's invitation to Zhu Wei was not entirely due to manpower issues. The main reason was that he knew that if Zhu Wei came over, he would definitely be flying a plane. If Zhu Wei wanted to fly a plane, he would definitely be flying a dark gray J-8FR. Although he had other The aircraft model’s driving qualifications.

Why do we do this? The main reason is that if the white J-8FR of China Southern Airlines falls apart, we can use the dark gray J-8FR to offset it. With Li Zhan's prestige, the Beikku Air Defense Base and the 101st Brigade have absolutely no objections.

Of course, if the aircraft is really scrapped, China Southern Airlines will definitely not say anything. There is no loss. It's just that Li Zhan thinks that his relationship with China Southern is not as close as his relationship with Beiku, that's all.

Zhu Wei has not changed much, he just has the momentum of a leading cadre. Li Zixin's change was huge. Li Zhan looked at him carefully and kept nodding, "Not bad, not bad. The young boy has grown up. He is really different now that he is married and has become a father. He looks much calmer."

"Captain, I have always been very calm. It was Han Hongjun who escaped." Li Zixin was very excited when he saw the old captain, but he did not forget to stab his partner.

"Yes, yes, that boy is quite out-of-the-box." Li Zhan laughed.

"Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu, Deputy Captain Li, let's go to the restaurant and chat while eating." Jinhua greeted the two of them politely. Li Zhan directly treated them as his old subordinates, which he did not dare to do. The visitors are guests, and one of them is also the deputy chief of staff of the base with the rank of deputy division commander.

The group went to the flight preparation room first to unload their equipment. Jinhua ordered his staff to take their luggage to the guest house first, and then went directly to the dining hall. A small private room had been prepared in the officers' dining room for the leaders to entertain guests.

When old comrades meet, they can't help but have two drinks, and it was Jinhua who took the initiative to invite him to drink. They won't be flying in the next two days, so you can feel free to drink two taels. But this time the drinking was no longer a matter of two or two. The four of them drank three kilograms of beer, and then rinsed their mouths with a box of beer before finally ending the meal.

After dinner, I went to the KTV room in the officers' club and yelled for more than two hours before I felt a little tired. After that, I returned to the guest house to make tea and chat. Jinhua has returned, and the three old comrades can freely chat about the old army. Some things are not convenient to say in front of outsiders.

Zhu Wei said, "Xiao Han called back last time and said that he wanted to follow you as soon as you left. I did some ideological work for him, and finally I got this kid's thinking straightened out."

"This kid hasn't settled down yet." Li Zhan shook his head helplessly.

When he left the Flying Shark Army, the ones he was most reluctant to leave were the old comrades he wanted to pass from Beiku. Han Hongjun, Niu Yaoyang and others really wanted to follow Li Zhan, but Li Zhan couldn't even control his whereabouts. , and how can they decide whether to stay or go?

Zhu Wei smiled and said, "Lao Li, to be honest, everyone likes to work under you."

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Revolutionary soldiers are like bricks that need to be moved wherever they need to be. As a big leader like you, you don't need me to tell you the truth, right?"

"I know, but you also know that it is not easy to meet a good leader. It is normal for everyone to have such thoughts." Zhu Wei said.

Li Zixin said, "Fortunately, the brigade didn't let me go to Feisha, otherwise I would have stayed in HNA."

"Others are rushing to fly the shark, but it's better for you." Li Zhan said with a smile.

Li Zixin shrugged and said, "I agree that Flying Shark represents the highest level of combat pilots, but captain, didn't you often say before that the real ability is to use ordinary weapons in ordinary positions to achieve combat effectiveness that others cannot achieve? .”

"That's right." Li Zhan took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of which, the Flying Shark Force is in short supply of outstanding pilots. Looking at the overall situation, we need to support them."

"I still want to wait to modify the fourth-generation aircraft." Li Zixin said with a smile.

Li Zhan pointed at Li Zixin and said, "You kid."

Since the first flight of the fourth-generation aircraft, many outstanding pilots in the Air Force have not been as keen on the Flying Shark Force as before. Compared with the fourth-generation aircraft and the J-15, most people are willing to fly the fourth-generation aircraft. Those are top-level fighters. The pilots who fly top-level fighters are top-level pilots. There is nothing wrong with this assumption.

A good airplane must be flown by the best pilots.

You don’t have to go to the Flying Shark Army to fly the J-15. Isn’t it a good fourth-generation aircraft?

It can be said that Li Zixin has such a clear goal, and he is better than Han Hongjun in this regard. Han Hongjun is a stickler, and he wants to follow Li Zhan wherever he goes. His parents are also a stickler, and they buy houses wherever their son is transferred.

"How is the army?" Li Zhan asked. What he was most concerned about was the Falcon Brigade.

After the regiment was transformed into a brigade, there were no regiments under the 101st Brigade. They were all tactical aviation brigades. In addition to the Nighthawk Tactical Reconnaissance Brigade, there was also a deputy regimental-level brigade, which was the prestigious Eagle Falcon Brigade, led by Li Zhan. A professional blue team that has conquered the world's aces.

The Falcon Group is a large-scale tactical aviation group equipped with twenty-four fighter aircraft.

Li Zixin said, "The army is very good. It has been training according to the experimental combat training outline for more than a year. According to the standards set by you, the captain, all members can achieve it. The current captain is Wu Fei."

"Old Wu is good." Li Zhan nodded slightly. Wu Fei is a man with a lot of experience. His previous level was quite satisfactory. After Li Zhan left Beiku, he heard that he had grown up rapidly and was very experienced. Let him lead the crucial task. The Falcon Brigade was also Li Zhan's choice.

Li Zhan said, "I have taken over the follow-up test flight plan of the fourth-generation aircraft and have basically finalized a series of confrontational test flights to test whether the combat capability of the fourth-generation aircraft has achieved the design purpose. I will lead the team to station in Beiku, A series of confrontations with the Falcon Brigade."

"Really? That's great!" Zhu Wei clapped his hands excitedly, "Old Li, this is a really good idea. It not only tests the fourth-generation aircraft but also trains the troops. Everyone doesn't know how to fight if they encounter a fourth-generation aircraft. , now we have a fresh opponent.”

Li Zixin even licked her lips excitedly and geared up.

Li Zhan said, "Yes, and we can carry out some practical use of fourth-generation aircraft in a targeted manner, achieving multiple goals with one stone. It is estimated that we will stay in Beiku for a long time."

"Commander Fang must be extremely happy." Zhu Wei said.

Commander Fang is talking about Fang Chenghe, the commander of the Beikku Air Defense Base and the commander of the 101st Brigade. This Confucian general who was a military cadre and served as the political commissar of the Second Division has made even more progress than his old partner Qi Hong. Fierce. Fang Chenghe is already a deputy military officer, Qi Hong is still a full-time division commander, and Qi Hong is no longer in the frontline combat unit, but Fang Chenghe holds one of the most offensive aviation brigades in the current Air Force establishment.

Li Zhan said, "Don't tell him yet. There are still many procedures to prepare for the business-to-business meeting later."

Li Zixin asked, "Captain, do I have a chance to fly a fourth-generation aircraft?"

"There should be no chance before the equipment is deployed." Li Zhan said with a smile, looking at Li Zixin who looked disappointed, and then said, "But I will try to give you a chance to fly twice."

"Okay!" Li Zixin became as happy as a child.

Zhu Wei said, "The expansion of the Beiku Field Station has been completed, and the second runway has been put into use. The usable area is now three times larger than when you were here. A long-range anti-aircraft missile battalion is deployed around it, and the Army's field anti-aircraft artillery also has a regiment. Nearby, the air defense system has basically been set up."

He took a sip of tea and continued, "There is also good news. At the beginning of the year, seven airports were started in the Beiku area, all of which are first-class airport standards. The South and East Kuchang stations have also been completed. The renovations are all second-class airports that can accommodate flight groups. This year, more than 20 airport projects will be launched or constructed in the entire western region. It is expected that by 2020, the basic structure of one airport every 500 kilometers will be completed. .”

"Is the news accurate?" Li Zhan sat upright in excitement, flicked the ashes from his cigarette and stared at Zhu Wei.

Zhu Wei nodded affirmatively, "That's right, I participated in the review and approval."

"This is the biggest good news this year." Li Zhan said with emotion, "The western region is vast, with a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers from east to west, north to south, and it is urgent to increase the number of airports."

When they talked about airport construction, they did not specifically point out which airports were air force airports and which were civil aviation airports. In the western region, any airport must first meet the requirements of the air force for operations, and then be considered for use as a civil aviation airport.

Some 4C airports, which look inconspicuous, are usually filled with civilian flights, and there are almost no people in military uniforms. But if something happens, the troops can move in and take over and use them directly.

Why do we need to build so many airports? The western region is too big. Among other things, the Beikku Air Defense Base is the air force aviation unit in the northwest corner, but it is a full 1,800 kilometers away from the military district command center!

There are only three or two airports in this distance, which does not meet the requirements of national defense.

Li Zhan's experience was very profound, and his desire for more airports reached its peak when he made an emergency landing on Highway 4. If there was an airport within a radius of 500 kilometers, he would not have had to take the risk of making an emergency landing on the road when the fighter plane encountered serious danger.

The current layout of the 101st Brigade is that the absolute main force of the Falcon Brigade and the Nighthawk Tactical Reconnaissance Brigade are at the North Kuchang Station, and the other two brigades are at the South Kuchang Station and East Kuchang Station respectively. Beikuku Air Defense Base does not refer to Beikuchang Station, but the command authority of the air defense base is located at Beikukuchang Station.

To be precise, the Beikku Air Defense Base refers to the air defense system in the entire western region to the north, governs the entire Xijiang Province, and is responsible for all air defense and combat readiness in the region. In addition to the 101st Aviation Brigade, the Beikku Air Defense Base also has the 102nd Aviation Brigade and the 103rd Aviation Brigade, which are deployed in different directions.

Other units were converted from divisions to brigades, but the original 73rd Fighter Division was upgraded to a deputy corps-level air defense base, and all three flight regiments under its jurisdiction were upgraded to aviation brigades.

Li Zixin said with a smile, "Captain, now our army has entered a well-off life. The morale of the army is high and the combat effectiveness is strong. Everyone has a goal to pursue. Many people are unwilling to be transferred."

"No wonder they don't want to go to the Flying Shark Army. I have a happy little life."

Li Zhan smiled happily like an old father.

"Does the army still have many actual combat missions? How is the situation of the simulated blue army over there?" Li Zhan asked.

Zhu Wei said, "There are quite a few, and they often engage in confrontations with simulated blue forces. Our tactical reconnaissance side has a relatively heavier task. The defense positions of the ground forces on both sides have been changing, and we have to perform both regular reconnaissance and temporary reconnaissance. kind of mission.”

He smiled and said, "The radio intelligence you detected behind enemy lines was very important. Now a lot of work is carried out based on the intelligence from that time."

In terms of experience in using tactical reconnaissance aircraft, Li Zhan is not as good as Zhu Wei, but the results of the several reconnaissance missions Li Zhan performed before are more than the sum of many previous jobs combined. There are many courageous people, but there are not many pilots who have the courage and skills to complete such a difficult and dangerous mission.

Li Zhan nodded slightly, "Before I left Hainan Airlines, I submitted a proposal to Haisi. The main content was to suggest that Hainan Airlines organize troops to go to Beiku for rotation training and increase confrontation and exchanges with the Air Force. The Golden Helmet Competition is a good opportunity. . This matter is basically settled, you will have to fight HNA in the future."

Smiling softly, Li Zixin glanced at Zhu Wei, and then said to Li Zhan, "Captain, Hainan Airlines is nothing. Many of their trainings are lagging behind. Of course, except for the Flying Shark Force."

Li Zhan smiled and nodded, "That's the situation, but HNA is also accelerating the transformation of training methods. They still have some top players."

All Air Force pilots look down on HNA pilots. This is not subjective but an objective fact. While the Air Force has canceled altitude differences for free air combat training, the PLA Navy still maintains the original altitude difference training model. The PLA Navy was the first to engage in low-altitude penetration training, but was overtaken by the Air Force.

Of course, this has something to do with Li Zhan. Li Zhan's innovations in combat training methods for the three major subjects in Beiku had a great impact, and this impact first occurred in the Air Force and then extended to the Navy.

Zhu Wei said with a smile, "We are a professional blue army, and our mission is to be a good whetstone for our brother troops. The HNA force is also a brother army."

"Lao Zhu, how is the J-11 flying now?" Li Zhan asked.

Zhu Wei said, "It's okay. Now the J-11 flies more sorties than the J-8FR."

Li Zhan added, "I plan to let you be responsible for the modification of the J-16 electronic warfare aircraft. Please consider it."

"Don't think about it, I will complete the task resolutely!" Zhu Wei said decisively.

Li Zhan nodded slightly, "The 103rd Brigade will all modify the J-10, most likely the C-type that has not yet completed the test flight. They will form a high-low matching pattern with the 101st Brigade. However, the J-10's platform is limited, so they will also need to equip it in the future. J-16 electronic warfare aircraft. Your task is not light."

"I can handle it." Zhu Wei said with a happy smile. The heavier the burden, the better. A heavy burden means that we are making progress again, which makes us happy!

Li Zhan once again smiled happily like an old father.

Does he have the final say on this matter? Of course not, but he can influence it.

PS: Today the remains of the seventh batch of volunteer martyrs returned to China. I am full of emotions. History cannot be forgotten. Our predecessors shed their blood and we should strengthen ourselves. I will stick to the military and civil position. In addition, I went to Chengdu the day after tomorrow to attend the 3rd Golden Panda Online Literature Award Ceremony, where Zhan Falcon won the bronze award. There may be no updates in the next few days. It is planned to be completed in October, but the ending has not yet been determined.
