Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 404 Strategic long-range reconnaissance aircraft

Li Zhan, who had a little dark circles under his eyes, received a call from Zhang Wei after he got up. The latter said that Captain Yu wanted to invite him to a meeting at the West County Station and said they had something to discuss.

Li Zhan understood immediately that it was definitely Political Commissar Bao who had called the Second Division, and he was still worried that he could not control his emotions and get involved in He Junlong's matter.

The old political commissar had good intentions, and Li Zhan was even sure that if he didn't obey the instructions, Bao Guanhua might come over and reprimand him face to face. Especially now that I recall Bao Guanhua's actions in the past period, I realize that Bao Guanhua's determination to change his career had been made long ago. Maybe he had the intention to quit soon after Xue Xiangdong's death. Do your best at what you can do before leaving the army, and leave with the least regrets. This is the meaning behind some of Bao Guanhua's actions in the past period.

Li Zhan temporarily bid farewell to Ying Wanjun, who had made him a little addicted, and followed Zhang Wei to the Xixian Field Station, an air force station that was of great significance to him.

"Teacher is not at home." Yu Chenglin said inexplicably.

Li Zhan said, "Oh, I want to visit him."

"Forget it."

Zhang Wei held back his laughter.

The commuter bus carried the three of them along the parallel road to the large aircraft apron in the distance.

After getting off the car, Yu Chenglin pointed at the H-6 in front of him and said with a smile, "I know you are bored at home, so I specially asked you to come and see a nice airplane."

Li Zhan looked at the H-6 in front of him, and he really saw something interesting. Isn't this the H-6 I saw on the construction site that day? The tactical number is this tactical number: 2238325.

At this time, a close inspection revealed that this was not the long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft modified from the H-6 platform that I had seen before. There are two types of long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft that are relatively common. The first is the Tu-154, and the second is the H-6D equipped with sea reconnaissance equipment. The H-6D is a very old model. It is called the H-6D by the outside world. Its appearance is very different from the K-type currently used, especially the nose and tail. The K-type has been redesigned. The aerodynamic shape is more smooth and modern.

The aircraft in front of me is not the H-6D or H-6H with a very historical style, but a H-6K with a very postmodern style. But unlike the ordinary K type, this aircraft does not have any pylons. Under the circumstances, the entire fuselage has many slightly bulging bumps of various sizes. The most obvious one is the oval-shaped cover under the belly that is integrated with the fuselage. It is obviously the shield for the reconnaissance equipment on the opposite side. The downward-looking reconnaissance equipment of the H-6J is installed under the nose of the aircraft. It is a large bulging bag, like a tumor, with very obvious features. If you don't look closely at the aircraft in front of you, it's difficult to spot the detection equipment integrated into the fuselage.

This is a professional long-range reconnaissance aircraft that has an overall design plan before production, and may not only be used for maritime reconnaissance. The original H-6D reconnaissance aircraft was modified using existing aircraft. The K-type aircraft in front of me was obviously designed according to the design when it was produced, and it appeared more harmonious. The most important change is that the avionics system can be tailored to the characteristics of the reconnaissance aircraft from the beginning. The two are obviously not reconnaissance aircraft of the same grade.

"What a good plane." Li Zhan praised it sincerely.

Yu Chenglin pointed to the boarding ladder that had been set up and said, "Go up and have a look."

"No problem?" Li Zhan suddenly discovered that this aircraft was probably not just a reconnaissance aircraft. It might have strong electronic warfare capabilities, electronic interference or something like that.

Yu Chenglin smiled and said, "I invited you here because there is something wrong with doing this."

With doubts, Li Zhan followed Yu Chenglin and climbed into the cockpit of No. 2238325 H-6K (electric reconnaissance?) along the boarding ladder. This did not matter, and Li Zhan was stunned for a while, doubting himself. He mistakenly entered the cabin of a powerful enemy's electronic reconnaissance aircraft.

From the cockpit to the middle of the fuselage, the original magazine mechanism, bomb delivery mechanism, etc. are all gone, replaced by a neat row of displays and various unnamed instruments and equipment. On the other side is a direct Aisles are laid out like train sleepers.

Looking at the cockpit again, it is a modern cockpit that is not much behind the J-11B and J-10B. Most of the places you look at are color displays. In Li Zhan’s impression, the H-6 is messier than the early models of the J-7. The cockpit is completely different.

While visiting, Li Zhan marveled and said, "What a great thing. With this aircraft in hand, the combat effectiveness of the Second Division has soared."

"That's too much to think about." Yu Chenglin said with a smile, "The independent reconnaissance regiment's aircraft are using our station to conduct long-distance training."

Li Zhan was not surprised. Reconnaissance aircraft of this magnitude are usually under the direct command of the military region level or above, and specific tactical actions cannot be arranged by aviation divisions and brigades. Tactical reconnaissance aircraft like the J-8FR are under the direct command of the military air force, not to mention this long-range reconnaissance aircraft that obviously focuses on strategic reconnaissance, and it also has electronic warfare capabilities, which is even more extraordinary.

"How about it? Are you interested in following Yuanhai around?" Yu Chenglin asked with a smile.

Li Zhan pointed to his nose in surprise, "Me? Going to sea with them?"

"I, Zhang Wei, are also here." Yu Chenglin explained with a smile, "We coordinated with the people from the independent reconnaissance group and followed them out to the sea to see the scene and become familiar with the actual use of this aircraft. I feel confident when we cooperate in the future.”

Li Zhan blinked, "Then I can follow you? I'm still in the 101st Brigade."

"You kid, I don't mean anything else. I just want you to go out for a walk together." Yu Chenglin said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, this is the meaning of the independent reconnaissance team. When I chatted with Captain Liu, he I knew that you were on vacation in Xi County, so I asked you to go out with me and give them some suggestions. Everyone knows that you brought out the Nighthawk Force, and you are more experienced in using the reconnaissance force."

Li Zhan understood and came here for his reputation. When he was fighting floods in Sanhe, he used the J-8FR tactical reconnaissance aircraft to independently complete tasks including weather reconnaissance, ground reconnaissance, and bombing of flood outlets. If the flood fighting scene was replaced by a battlefield, many people would be surprised to find that the J-8FR tactical reconnaissance aircraft showed The combat capabilities far exceeded their imagination. The prerequisite for these is to have mature usage methods.

There is no doubt that Li Zhan understands the situation best.

Needless to say, Yu Chenglin was able to invite him over and inform him of the matter, which meant that Captain Liu of the Independent Reconnaissance Group had gone through all the procedures. In other words, Li Zhan had to go even if he didn't want to go. Of course, how could he not go?

"Where are you going?" Li Zhan asked.

Yu Chenglin said, "Xitai."

With his brows twitching a few times, Li Zhan asked, "The tie rod fee is definitely gone, what about the overseas reimbursement?"

Zhang Wei smiled and interjected, "Old Li, only the Navy has sea subsidy. Our Air Force does not have that subsidy program. However, there are long-distance subsidy programs. You know this."

Although I was slightly disappointed, I felt no regrets at the thought of being able to go to West Taipei. I smiled and nodded slightly and said, "Okay, when will we set off? What preparations do I need to make?"

"Tomorrow at two o'clock in the morning, I will arrive in the designated airspace just in time to watch the sunrise. I have all the tea leaves ready, so I can drink tea in the sky over the Western Pacific." Yu Chenglin said meaningfully.

Li Zhan smiled and nodded slowly and meaningfully.
