Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 3 Level 1 Combat Readiness

Zhang Wei handed Li Zhan over to the cadre unit of the Fourth Regiment and left.

Because it was an important flight day, only one deputy political commissar from the regiment headquarters was at home. The deputy political commissar was busy preparing for today's agency work to provide guarantee for the training ahead, so he waved to the cadre section chief to take Li Zhan through the formalities.

After going through a series of formalities such as organizational relations, personnel relations, food relations, etc., the cadre section chief asked Li Zhan to take the note to the logistics office to get the key to his single apartment. Then a corporal drove Li Zhan to a distance in a commuter car. The living area two kilometers away from the flight area was sent to the downstairs of the apartment.

Li Zhan's mood was getting worse and worse. Looking at the dilapidated two-story apartment building in front of him, full of bright red atmosphere, he scolded the leaders of the second division in his heart.

Isn’t I the top guy you dug up?

Treat me like this?

From beginning to end, after reporting to the divisional political commissar, there was only one company-level cadre unit chief to go through the formalities. The deputy political commissar of the regiment didn't even look at him. Li Zhan, who was originally full of resentment because he was flying the J-7, was now livid with anger.

He really regretted going to Guangkong. If he stayed in Beikong, he would never be treated like this. At the very least, try to go home and visit relatives once a year.

The imaginary scene where the head of the division headquarters warmly welcomed and encouraged him and was able to fly the SU-27 into the sky did not happen at all.

Pushing open the door of 203, Li Zhan's resentment finally subsided a little.

This single apartment building looks very shabby, but in fact it has been modernized inside. It is a very neat suite with a separate bedroom, separate bathroom, and a small living room and study room. He is only a deputy company-level cadre, and the accommodation standards are completely exceeded.

Take it as it comes. From a tactical point of view, he is still a new soldier, but from a military perspective, he is already a veteran who has served for five years. He is aware and understands the fundamental principle of unconditional obedience. Li Zhan stopped thinking about those miscellaneous things, put down his backpack and luggage bag, and began to tidy up the housework.

Not far away, three J-7Es took off one after another with a short interval. Climb, form, then turn around and gallop towards the southwest.

At the same time, the control tower was busy.

"The division commander is up?" Qi Hong, the division political commissar, hurried over.

"Political Commissar! We're up. The air command's spot check confrontation drill command, simulating unknown air conditions in No. 2 airspace, he took two of the Fourth Regiment up." Yu Chenglin, deputy commander of the Fourth Regiment, reported quickly and handed the flight log to Qi Hong , Qi Hong signed it. According to regulations, all tower personnel on duty must sign the flight log.

At this time, the deputy division commander was in the command position, and Yu Chenglin acted as an assistant.

Mass transfer training. It is the highest level in daily training and requires first-level combat readiness. This is also the reason why Li Zhan saw the cadres of the agency walking with the wind, and the whole agency building had a strong atmosphere of war.

In fact, Li Zhan mistakenly blamed the leadership of the Second Division. According to regulations, to ensure this type of training, two or three commanders must be in the command position.

Six batches of twelve J-7Es from the fourth regiment will be transferred to eastern Guangdong, and twelve SU-27SKs from the sixth regiment and six batches will be transferred from northern Guangxi to this site, both of which will be completed today. Such a large-scale training alarmed all command agencies, including the military region air force headquarters and military command posts.

Just preparing for the alternate landing site took a week of preparations.

Therefore, early this morning, Zhang Sihai, the commander of the Second Division, and the two division leaders responsible for training, the deputy division commander, went to the tower to make preparations. Qi Hong was originally in charge of the division's headquarters, but as a result, the air commander suddenly conducted a spot check and simulated the enemy's situation to report that unknown air conditions were found in the southwest. The division commander personally flew the aircraft, so there must be a chief officer at the tower, so he rushed over to fill the position.

Qi Hong naturally knows all kinds of plans.

The commander, political commissar, and deputy commander of the fourth regiment all led the team to participate in the transition training, leaving only one deputy commander to assist in the command at the tower. The key is that all pilots of the Fourth Regiment have undertaken training missions and are in the process of transitioning.

What should I do if the flight attendant gives me another empty message?

In recent years, the frequency of emergency spot checks of front-line combat troops by the aviation department has become higher and higher, and the requirements have become higher and higher. Especially for the troops known as "Southern Tyrant", the requirements are even more stringent.

According to regulations, there must be at least two fighters on duty.

However, the current situation is embarrassing. It coincides with the season when old pilots change careers and retire. We have fighter planes but not enough pilots! It's not that there's no one, it's that there are no qualified pilots. The newly arrived pilots must undergo six months to one year of training before they can fly alone to perform missions.

Xixian Airport is located on the border of the mainland of the motherland. It can reach the South China Sea with just one step of the accelerator. Like the southeastern coast, it is the front line of all matters. It has heavy combat preparation tasks and the air traffic control department conducts spot checks more frequently.

Yu Chenglin said, "Political commissar, deputy division commander, I'll go up."

Qi Hong shook his head and said, "You alone are not enough."

"The situation reported by the aviation commander is a bit serious. There are two batches of unknown air conditions discovered in the No. 2 airspace. The other batch is lingering in the airspace line. They might break in at any time." Yu Chenglin frowned and said, "It's us. An old rival of HNA, HNA’s simulated blue army.”

Large-scale transfer training is very important, and dealing with "unknown air conditions" is even more important.

The key is that Qi Hong cannot draw out his strength in a short time. After the SU-27SK of the Sixth Regiment landed in this field, it had to undergo inspection and guarantee before it could take off again. After a while, the cucumbers and vegetables were cold. Moreover, once this is done, the large-scale transfer training that has been prepared for such a long time will be ruined, and the loss is calculated in millions of yuan.

"Who is that? Li Zhan, right? Where is he?" Qi Hong suddenly turned around and asked Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei was the staff officer assigned to Qi Hong by the headquarters.

Zhang Wei didn't react for a while and was a little confused, "He, I handed him over to the Fourth Regiment."

"Let him go!" Qi Hong made a decisive decision, "Let him go!" He pointed at Yu Chenglin, "Deputy Commander Yu, go ahead, Li Zhan will be your wingman!"

"Yes!" Yu Chenglin saluted and hurried away. He didn't know who Li Zhan was, but as long as there was someone on duty, that would be enough.

Needless to say, Zhang Wei quickly called the Fourth Regiment and asked the Fourth Regiment to quickly notify Li Zhan to prepare.

At this moment, the deputy division commander took a moment to look back and asked, "Political Commissar, that's a new guy, is that okay?"

"If you choose one of the short ones, you don't have to go up." Qi Hong didn't have much confidence in his heart.

On the other side, Li Zhan, who was holding his breath, was busy sorting out the housework. He was thinking about taking a leave to go home this weekend, and then he felt much better. At least it's right at the doorstep of my house, and the joy of being able to go home often diluted some of my resentment.

"Li Zhan! Come with me quickly!" A staff officer ran over, slammed the door hard, and said loudly, "Ready for combat duty, hurry up!"

Li Zhan, who was folding quilts, dropped what he was doing and ran out with his staff as if he had been electrocuted. There was already a Warrior car waiting downstairs. The two jumped into the car, and the driver stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the flight area.

On the speeding Warrior Car, Li Zhan came back to his senses and asked the staff officer, "Brother, what's going on?"

"Today we have a large number of transfer training, twelve batches of twenty-four aircraft, the most important training at the end of the year. The aviation department suddenly checked the combat readiness and gave a lot of unknown information. It must be because there is not enough manpower. I am not very clear about the specific situation. ." The staff officer of the regiment headquarters is only responsible for passing orders and has insufficient understanding of the specific situation.

Li Zhan secretly chuckled.

He gasped, his eyes full of envy. Twenty-four fighter planes, the size of an organized group. Simply looking at the quantity obviously fails to bring any visual impact. However, if converted into RMB, the impact would be shocking - the value of the twenty-four fighter jets is conservatively estimated to be as high as 5 billion RMB!

Five billion yuan is flying in the sky. You can imagine how large-scale training this is.

You must know that ensuring such a large number of transfers requires a plan approved by the Military Commission's headquarters, and is guided from top to bottom by the Air Force Command and the specific command of the Army Command Post. It requires all command agencies, more than four alternate landing sites, and their respective regions. Military meteorological units, radar early warning units and dozens of other units provide support.

Li Zhan gasped, the resentment in his heart dissipated a lot, replaced by an eagerness to fight.

Nan Batian was worthy of being Nan Batian. The Kong Si would suddenly conduct a spot check when a large number of people were transitioning and directly give simulated enemy information. It was equivalent to kicking the second division in the butt when they were peeing. Needless to say, I was surprised and uncomfortable. In the army, the harsher your superiors treat you means the more they value you. The names of the commanders of many units and the heads of the aviation department may not be able to remember them.

When he arrived at the flight briefing room, Li Zhan's mind had not come back to his senses. His thinking was clear, but he was full of confusion about the next move. This is the basic quality of a combatant. He has developed a conditioned reflex. When I was at the training base, I had done similar emergency preparations countless times. So when he heard the words "combat readiness duty", his first reaction was to run away and go to the flight briefing room first.

Yu Chenglin was already making preparations in the flight briefing room. When Li Zhan saw that there was only a lieutenant colonel and no one else inside, he felt even more strange.

"Report! Li Zhan of the Seventh Squadron of the Third Brigade of the Fourth Regiment reports for duty!" Li Zhan stood at attention and saluted.

Yu Chenglin put on his flight suit and pointed at the closet, "It's too late. Use the equipment in cabinet No. 37 and move faster."

It’s the thirty-seventh again!

"yes!"

Without saying anything, Li Zhan hurried over and quickly changed his clothes. Blue flight suit, flight helmet, cowhide holster without pistol, white "labor protection gloves". After finishing dressing, he checked one side from top to bottom to confirm that there was no problem. The clothes fit very well, which shows that the previous owner's figure was similar to Li Zhan's. He sat down in front of the blackboard, his back straight.

Yu Chenglin came over, picked up the chalk and drew a circle on the map on the blackboard, "Time is running out, listen carefully. Here, in the No. 2 airspace, an unknown air condition was discovered. The division commander has brought two aircraft up. Now it's you and me. On duty, when the order comes, take off immediately to the No. 2 airspace. You are my wingman. I heard that you performed similar missions at the training base, and you also flew Xiaoqi. Is there any problem? "

Li Zhan replied: "Report to the leader! No problem!"

"Okay." Yu Chenglin introduced himself at this time, "My name is Yu Chenglin, deputy commander of the Fourth Regiment, call sign Dong San San. You take the call sign Dong San Gui."

"Understood, you are Dong San San, I call you Dong San Gui!" Li Zhan repeated.

Yu Chenglin nodded slightly and was about to say something when a staff officer rushed over and shouted: "An order has been issued from the tower!"

"Walk!"

Yu Chenglin grabbed his helmet and ran outside, followed closely by Li Zhan.

The two J-7Es on duty were ready and parked in the duty position with their engines running. Li Zhan took the folder handed over by the aircraft maintenance staff, signed his name quickly, and then stepped on the boarding ladder and jumped into the cockpit. When he saw the ground staff making a confirmation gesture, he began to check the instruments.

The J-7 is a second-generation aircraft that entered service in the late 1960s and has produced more than 1,600 aircraft. It is a truly famous aircraft of its generation. To Li Zhan's relief, his plane was the same model as the one he flew at the training base - both E-types. There are many modifications of the J-7, and it is common for some models to have a technical gap of more than ten or twenty years. At least if Li Zhan is given a G-type now, he won't be able to play with it and must undergo special training.

In fact, he was worrying too much.

If the leaders don't know his details, they won't dare to drag him into battle. It was precisely because the E-type he flew at the training base was the same model as the fighter plane on duty that Qi Hong dared to let him fly, otherwise no one would dare to take the risk.

everything's ready.

Li Zhan contacted the tower: "Tower, the three turns of the tunnel are ready. Please slide into the take-off position. Over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chenglin's voice also sounded on the channel, "Tower, Cave 33 is ready, over."

Qi Hong, who was responsible for commanding the fighter jets that responded to the air situation, said, "Dong Sansan, you can slide in, it's over."

Li Zhan was on the right rear side of Cheng Lin and slid into the take-off position. Obviously, they are going to take off in a two-plane formation.

"Dong Sansan, you can take off, over." The command came from the tower.

The two of them turned on the afterburner, lowered the fenders, and released the brakes at the same time. The two J-7Es began to taxi, getting faster and faster. The WP-13F turbojet engines roared. After 500 meters, they pulled up at the same time and took off at a large elevation angle. They could gain altitude in a short time and shorten the take-off time. However, if you don't master this emergency takeoff technique well, you risk losing lift.

The two-plane formation took off crisply.

Qi Hong couldn't help but exclaim, "Beautiful!"

The deputy division commander smiled and said, "This new comrade has good skills."

How good the technology is, you can see it just by taking off and landing.

"I talked with the leader of the Beikong training base. This soldier has a talent for flying. He was the first to fly solo, and he was the only one of their generation of students who was qualified to fly an aircraft to perform missions. Last year, a large formation went to Beihai to conduct In the long-distance attack drill, his covering formation performed well and could keep up with the veteran." Qi Hong introduced a few words with a smile.

Li Zhan didn't know that, including him, there were two new pilots in the second division who were poached, and the other two were two who had just completed their new flight training and were detained by Qi Hong from his parents' home, HNA No. 9 Teachers and Students. pilot. The naval aviation's own flight academy is still in its infancy. Over the years, the Air Force has provided blood for HNA, and it is rare to transfer people back from HNA. It can be seen that Qi Hong is very courageous.

Therefore, Qi Hong attaches great importance to Li Zhan. It was not what Li Zhan thought. The leaders of the Second Division didn't care much about him, an outsider.

The deputy commander is more than ten years older than Qi Hong and is an experienced pilot with nearly 4,000 flying hours. He, who already has gray hair, will serve until his end of service in two years. At this time, people can see many things with a clear mind, and their mentality is much calmer.

He smiled and said, "I heard that if he stays in Beikong, he can fly J-10 next year. When he comes to our second division, he can only fly J-7, and he is probably resentful."

Qi Hong didn't realize there was any problem and said, "How many people are looking forward to modifying new models, and he is not the only one who has resentments in his heart. What's wrong with having resentments? If you have the ability to fly old models with new combat effectiveness."

"Haha." The deputy division commander smiled and stopped talking. The new political commissar is courageous and energetic. After taking office, he frequently intervenes in military work, which gives people a new understanding of political commissars.

Before reaching the cruising altitude, Yu Chenglin turned on the afterburner and drove the J-7E past the speed of sound. Li Zhan was not far behind, and he and Yu Chenglin maintained the formation and soared towards the No. 2 airspace at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

"Dong 33, adjust the frequency to 328.5, contact Nanzhi, accept its command, wish you all the best, it's over." Qi Hong always held the microphone in his hand, and he gave the last instruction to the Dong 33 formation. .

The deputy division commander is always paying attention to the situation of the SU-27 fleet that is about to land on the field, and he is still responsible for commanding the transition training.

"Understood, adjust the frequency to 32 to 8.5, over." Yu Chenglin ended the communication with the tower, adjusted the communication frequency to the right position, and called Nanzhi, "Nanzhi, Dong 33 report, accept your command."

Soon, Nan Zhi replied, "Dong San San, adjust the course to Du Bai Four, and find out the air condition as soon as possible."

"Understood! Adjust course two hundred and four!" Yu Chenglin confirmed the instruction.

The control tower has just reported the air condition, and there are a batch of unidentified aircraft. This is already the second batch of empty feelings. It fully shows that the flight commander's random inspection while taking advantage of the Second Division's large-scale transfer training was "premeditated" and the time chosen was very sensitive, which put extremely high requirements on the Second Division's combat readiness capabilities.

This time, the aviation department once again coordinated the simulated blue force of the naval aviation force and gave the Second Division two consecutive big test questions. The purpose is self-evident - to test the Second Division's ability to cope with the future in the face of a large number of transfers. Various situations that arise...
