The current weather is not severe enough to prevent fixed-wing fighter aircraft from dispatching.
The wind gusts were not too strong, and the rainfall came in bursts. Overall, it met the outline's definition of "low meteorological conditions."
Xue Zhengrong was in trouble after receiving the call. After Zhong Guobang reported the entire situation, he felt even more embarrassed. He only had Li Hai and Dang Weimin under his command, and Dang Weimin obviously couldn't fly after something happened just now, especially in the current situation.
Under low weather conditions, Li Hai is also in trouble, and he has not yet received advanced training subjects such as flying in low weather conditions.
"I can only do it." Xue Zhengrong said.
The director of the aviation medical office stared and said, "Captain Xue, don't be kidding me. In this condition, you have trouble walking, let alone flying. If you don't believe it, get up and take two steps. I dare say you can't walk at all."
Xue Zhengrong really didn't believe this evil anymore. He gritted his teeth and stood up and walked with his right leg. As soon as he stepped out, the cramping pain in his abdomen reappeared. The director of the aviation medical office quickly held him down and asked him to sit down.
"Don't underestimate abdominal pain, it can be fatal if severe." The director of the aviation medical office said seriously.
Xue Zhengrong said anxiously, "Now there are more than 60 lives waiting for me to save, and I have to do it if I can't!"
At this time, Li Zewen spoke. He said, "Xiao Xue, you can't act recklessly. It makes no sense to involve yourself instead of saving someone."
He frowned and said, "Let Li Hai go."
"No, Li Hai has never flown in low weather conditions." Xue Zhengrong refused without thinking at all.
Li Zewen said in a deep voice, "Having never flown before doesn't mean you are incompetent. Who hasn't had a first time? The problem now is that you have no other choice. Your current situation can't be better than Li Hai's, right? Don't hesitate, take advantage of it
Now the weather is good enough for him to set off quickly. The round trip is less than 500 kilometers, and including the search time, it will take less than two hours if the positioning is available. Time is the first priority now."
The words were reasonable and well-founded, and Xue Zhengrong could not refuse.
"But Mr. Li..." Xue Zhengrong was still hesitating.
Li Zewen smiled and said, "You are a commander and you are fighting a war now. You should not think about problems from a non-combat perspective. I know what you are worried about. Li Hai is a soldier first and then my son. After eating this bowl of rice, he will
You must have this awareness. Xiao Xue, you are the same, otherwise you will be unqualified as a commander."
Everyone in the tower stood in awe.
Many of them have become fathers, and they can't help but ask themselves, if it were me, could I put my military mission above my son's life like this veteran?
Maybe, maybe not.
There is a high probability that it is not possible - it is not difficult to shout slogans at the conference and express determination in front of the leaders. If it comes to this, who can guarantee that words and deeds will be consistent?
Xue Zhengrong said to the staff beside him, "Inform Li Hai to gather in the flight briefing room and dress appropriately for the flight."
"yes!"
The staff officer immediately used the walkie-talkie to call, and walked quickly under the tower while calling. Xue Zhengrong forced himself to formulate a flight plan, and another staff officer assisted him. Li Zewen stopped talking at this time, and just stood aside and watched quietly.
Flying is not his specialty, but he has a lot of experience in judging weather. Therefore, when talking about topics involving weather changes, Li Zewen will express his own opinions.
After receiving the order, Li Hai didn't think too much. He couldn't wait for the car to pick him up, and ran directly towards the flight briefing room in the wind and rain. When he arrived at the flight briefing room, he was already soaked. He wiped it with a dry towel.
After that, he quickly put on the flying gear, and finally installed the night vision device on the flying helmet.
Not long after, Xue Zhengrong reluctantly came to the flight briefing room, and Li Zewen joined him.
Li Hai stood there with a straight military posture. Although it was not clear what happened specifically, it was certain that he was taking orders at the moment of danger. The current moment was a very, very critical moment.
After Xue Zhengrong reported the specific situation, he said, "After repeated calculations, we believe that the window time is only one hundred and fifty minutes at most, which is two and a half hours. Calculating from now on, after two and a half hours, no matter what the result is, you
They all have to return."
"Understood!" Li Hai replied solemnly.
Xue Zhengrong said, "Night flying in low weather conditions is a high-risk and difficult subject. You have not received relevant training, but I have confidence in your flying skills. You must keep in mind that human feelings can be deceiving. You must
You have to rely on instruments to fly, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Li Hai replied seriously.
"Get ready and wait for the takeoff order!"
Li Hai picked up his flying helmet and rushed out. When he was approaching the door, he stopped and looked back at his father. His father nodded slightly and gave a thumbs up. Li Hai turned back and stood at attention in salute, and then rushed out with his head buried in the rain.
Run to the hangar.
The maintenance team was already preparing nervously. After Li Hai arrived, the maintenance team leader Li Yuanchao, the fourth-level sergeant major, came over with the handover slip and said, "Captain Li, the aircraft has been inspected and there is no problem!"
"Thank you!" Li Hai took the handover form and signed his name.
Now there is a race against time, and there is no time to check again and again. At this time, the pilot has only one choice - to unconditionally trust the work ability of the comrades in the maintenance team.
Pulling the handrail of the boarding ladder and sitting in the cockpit, with the help of Li Yuanchao, he connected the supply system and communication system, and fastened the four-point seat belt. The J-8F No. 81103, which had already completed driving before, was like a macho man who had been dormant for a long time.
When the commander gives the order, he will rush towards the enemy formation with his strong body and use his long airspeed tube to teach a girly fighter like the F-2 a hard lesson!
Considering the tight time, the J-8F No. 81103 did not have an auxiliary fuel tank. The mission could be completed solely with the fuel in the internal fuel tank. Mounting an auxiliary fuel tank would affect the fighter's flexibility and flight speed.
Xue Zhengrong immediately issued the takeoff order after returning to the tower: "You can slide out of Dongsan to take off, pay attention to the crosswind..."
A series of surface wind speed and direction were reported later.
When Li Hai pushed the throttle and slid out of the hangar, he already had a clear idea of the current ground wind speed and direction, and at the same time, he had already thought about what attitude and method to take off.
The evaluation of Li Hai by the growth class teaching team is that his performance is average at ordinary times, and he performs outstandingly during assessments and tests. This is Li Hai's characteristic. In normal training, you can't tell that this person has any ability. Once it reaches this moment, the hope of the whole village will be
At critical moments, he will always burst out with jaw-dropping abilities.
Time was running out, so the takeoff would no longer follow the normal procedures. After Xue Zhengrong gave the takeoff order, he no longer interfered with Li Hai's actions, while Li Hai directly completed the slide out of the hangar to the takeoff position and then accelerated and rolled to take off.
the whole process.
In modern warfare, whichever side's fighter planes take off a few minutes earlier may take the initiative on the battlefield.
