Soldier Assault Commander

Chapter 499

499 Beautiful Man in the Air

The transfer and defense work of the 107th brigade is proceeding in an orderly manner.

This work is not done overnight, but is carried out in batches and batches. First, the vanguard team passes by, then the second batch, the third batch, and the fourth batch, until the defense is completely moved.

Fade Chen was the second batch.

If Li Yunfei was still in the brigade, then Fade Chen would either be the first batch or the last batch to arrive at the station, but he was alone at this time, so he had to go in the second batch, too soon or too late, too early Yes, he has to preside over a lot of work in the old 107. It is too late without him, and the work of the new station cannot do without him.

The place 107 went to this time is called Dongchang.

Fade Chen had never heard of this place name before.

When he knew that the place they 107 were going to was called Dongchang, he hurriedly opened a map to look for it carefully, but there was no mark on the ordinary map at all. Yes, this kind of small place names are not marked on the map at all, so he had to find another way. He asked his superiors for a large-scale military map, and looked through it carefully before finding the place.

From a strategic point of view, it is indeed an important place, especially for the air force, it is the top priority. Stationed there, it can be attacked and defended, which is equivalent to choking the throat.

But the natural environment there is too harsh, completely different from the lush green scene where the 107th brigade was stationed before.

On this day, the mobile defense plane landed steadily at Dongchang Station.

Chen Fei and others filed out of the plane.

"Political commissar—" Wang Defeng, the captain of the maintenance brigade, trotted up, stood at attention with a snap, and saluted.

Wang Defeng was the first group of people to arrive here.

When he set off from the old station, his face was flushed and he was refreshed, but the one standing in front of Fade Chen looked like a different person, with a red nose and the color of ultraviolet rays on his cheeks. He was dark and thin, extremely haggard.

"How did you become like this?" Fade Chen was very surprised.

"Political commissar, you are here!" Wang Defeng's nose soured, and he almost cried. It seems that he has suffered a lot here for a while.

Fade Chen pursed his lips, and patted him heavily on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, am I here?"

It took Wang Defeng a while to calm down. He said to Fade Chen: "Commissioner, let me show you our new home first."

"Okay, let's take a look at our new home together."

Wang Defeng took Fade Chen around the new camp.

To be honest, the new camp at No. 107 is pretty good. It is full of new barracks, neat and beautiful, but it is too desolate, not popular, and there is no green scenery.

"In the future, let's get more trees and flowers to plant. The current state is too desolate!" Fade Chen walked around and said to himself.

"Political Commissar, this place is too cold to grow anything. The few plants I brought from my hometown froze to death the next day!"

"It's normal for those two succulents to freeze to death. I have to plant some cold-resistant ones here. I will find some suitable tree species when I have time later."

After walking around the new camp, Fade Chen returned to the office building.

The office building is also newly built, very beautiful, whether viewed from a distance or up close, it gives people a pleasing feeling.

"Chief, the number of the military area." Yan Lijuan ran out and reported in a low voice.

"Military area?" Fade Chen was stunned for a moment. After recovering, he hurried upstairs and picked up the phone.

The superiors arranged tasks for them.

The head of the military region sent four J-107s to their [-]th brigade.

This area is the first time that the air force is stationed here.

Therefore, a lot of intelligence is not yet available, which requires 107 to carry out relevant intelligence and reconnaissance work. Therefore, the superiors gave them four J-Reconnaissance Eights to help them complete this work.

"It's really dozing off and meeting the pillow!" Fade Chen hung up the phone and couldn't help but smile.

In his arrangement, the first plan is also to carry out large-scale reconnaissance work near the station, but the plane he originally planned to use was their own old J-Reconnaissance Eight.

There are optical reconnaissance and electronic reconnaissance in these J-reconnaissance Bali, and the types are very rich, enough for 107.

The J-8 is a high-altitude, high-speed tactical reconnaissance aircraft developed by our country on the basis of the J-8 fighter, also known as the J-[-]R.

J-8 is the only high-altitude and high-speed tactical reconnaissance aircraft in active service in my country. It has always been mysterious. It is said that in addition to installing a built-in modular reconnaissance pod, it can also use optical cameras, synthetic aperture radars, and external reconnaissance cranes. cabin.

Military fans have always liked to call JJ-[-], the handsome man in the air, the name of the aircraft.

So why is he called the handsome man in the air?
In addition to the code name, modern fighter jets often have an appropriate nickname.

Before the 80s and [-]s, my country's fighter jets basically had no nicknames.

The first type of fighter aircraft with an official nickname was the JH-7 "Flying Leopard" fighter-bomber. After that, our aircraft gradually had their own names, such as FC-1 "Fierce Dragon", J-10 "Raptor", J-15 -20 "Flying Shark", J-[-] "Veyron" and more!

But among so many aircraft, if you want to find the one with the most nicknames, it is undoubtedly our old man - the J-8 fighter jet!

In fact, the J-8 fighter does not have an official nickname. Whether it is the early J-8 (white), J-8I fighter, or the later J-8II series, including J-8B, D, F, H and other models, all No official nickname given.

The first name of J-8 was created by NATO!
As we all know, NATO saw that the fighter planes of China and the Soviet Union at that time were often confused about the numbering, so in order to be able to call these fighters more conveniently, NATO began to name the fighter planes of China and the Soviet Union.

The first domestically-made fighter to be named separately by NATO is the Qiang-5 attack aircraft, which is codenamed "Fantan" by NATO.

When the J-8 fighter jet appeared, NATO also quickly discovered this domestic fighter. At first it was thought to be an improved version of the MiG-21, but after a closer look, it was changed from a single engine to a double engine, so the North- Yue also gave the J-8 a new name - "Fin Whale".

To be honest, the J-8 fighter jet has a thicker fuselage than the MiG-21 and is longer than the US F-14 heavy fighter jet. It really looks a bit like a huge fin whale in the sky.

But whether it is "Fin Whale" or "Peace Pearl", they are all names given to our Ba Ye by foreigners, and Ba Ye had a domestic name until the 90s.

At that time, the J-8II fighter jets began to slowly face the public, and the media also began to report extensively.Because the domestically produced fighter jets we saw before were all MiG remakes with air intakes in the nose, which is what the common people often call "flat-headed" planes. Suddenly, we saw the J-8II with sharp air intakes on both sides and a very handsome appearance. So I don't know which media used the title of "beautiful man in the air", and it has become a folk name for the J-8II fighter jet!
And because the beautiful man who was loved by everyone in China was Cai Guoqing, military fans also happily called the J-8II "Cai Guoqing in the air".

The old 107 also has a few J-107s, but it is a bit old, and the various reconnaissance equipment is relatively outdated. Overall, the reconnaissance capabilities are limited, so this time, the superiors replaced the [-] brigade with four new J-[-]s at one time. reconnaissance aircraft.

There are a lot of people who will start J-107 in [-], but some of them have not moved over at this time, so there are actually not many people who can be used by Fade Chen. The other one is Yang Feng, the captain of the First Flying Brigade, and the other two are the Second and Third Flying Brigades.

Fade Chen called the four people to the briefing room and told everyone about the mission.

"Chief, the route we have to scout this time is a bit long, and we don't know how to refuel in the air, what should we do?" the team leader Yang Feng asked Fade Chen.

There are not many aircraft capable of aerial refueling. At present, the fighters capable of aerial refueling include J-10, some models of J-8, SU-30MKK and J-[-].

In theory, all pilots who can fly these fighters should have the ability to refuel in the air, but in fact only some pilots have it.

Not everyone knows how to refuel in the air, and 107 has never done relevant training. In fact, as far as the current air force is concerned, less than 30.00% of the pilots who can complete the refueling in the air may not!

Aerial refueling is a worldwide difficult and high-risk subject. When the Air Force was engaged in this subject, many pilots died, and the one who survived became a special hero. The difficulty and danger can be seen.

Now, the reconnaissance that 107 is going to conduct is very far away, but the problem is that the J-Reconnaissance Eight can't fly very far.

"What should we do, tell me?" Fade Chen asked the other two pilots.

But the two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and neither of them knew how to answer.
