The atmosphere in the conference room of the 101st Regiment Building was very solemn. They were all heavy smokers and puffing away. It soon became like a sauna.
Xue Xiangdong stood up and walked to the window and opened it. A biting cold wind rushed in, which quickly cheered everyone up.
The chief of staff, director of the political department, deputy commander of operations, deputy commander of training, deputy commander of maintenance, executive deputy commander, except for the political commissar of the regiment who was studying abroad, the main leaders of the 101st Flight Group were all present. Because the discussion was about the flight regiment.
It was an internal matter, so the station manager from Beikuchang Station didn't come over.
Beikuchang Station is an official regiment-level unit, and the stationmaster has the same level as Xue Xiangdong. If the relationship is not good, people may not give him face. The stationmaster has more money than Xue Xiangdong.
"Regiment commander, since the division commander agreed to transfer him, it doesn't make sense for you not to let him fly. Besides, for such a master, it is not a long-term solution to only let him take command." Ma Feng, chief of staff of the regiment, broke the silence.
.
What is being discussed is the arrangements for Comrade Li Zhan.
First of all, the division commander Chen Hualin made it clear that he would complete the procedures for Li Zhan. As long as Li Zhan personally requested it and the 73rd Division came forward, the Second Division had no reason not to release the person. You were going to transfer the person out, but you still withheld the personnel procedures.
Of course this is unreasonable. It means that Chen Hualin finally chose the latter between the new equipment and Li Zhan.
Chen Hualin and Fang Chenghe had a private agreement, and this matter was not difficult at all. The only ones who felt uncomfortable were that Fang Chenghe and Qi Hong accidentally lost a good soldier.
It's not because Li Zhan is so awesome, but because even if the leaders of the 2nd Division don't help, the 73rd Division can still get second-hand goods, whether they are E-type or G-type, in the final analysis, it doesn't make much difference to the 73rd Division.
Anyway, they are more advanced than the existing fighters of the 73rd Division.
What Xue Xiangdong didn't expect was that Comrade Li Zhan's situation was so complicated.
He turned back and sat down, his eyes once again falling on the first-class merit medal and certificate in front of him. This was to be awarded to Li Zhan in recognition of his outstanding performance in fighting the floods in Sanhe. It was also Li Zhan's fourth first-class medal.
Equal work. This concept is quite appalling.
Just when he thought he had found a treasure, Comrade Li Zhan's deeds were placed in front of Xue Xiangdong's case. A few key words made him break into a cold sweat: nine months, two fighter planes were scrapped, one engine was scrapped, and the vertical stabilizer and tail fin were scrapped.
Once, the types of dangers included being struck by lightning, causing a fire in the engine room, jamming of the landing gear, power outage in the cockpit, hitting a bird...
In nine months, we encountered a variety of dangerous situations. Some flight groups may not have encountered such a wide range of dangerous situations for decades, and they were all special dangers.
"I finally understand why the Second Division doesn't want him." Xue Xiangdong sighed.
It's a treasure, and it's also a big problem.
Xue Xiangdong would rather be trusted than trustworthy. A talent with a special physique like Li Zhan is absolutely unprecedented in military history. What would you do if your flying regiment were to become a flying brigade?
Yang Jinshan, deputy commander of operations, said, "Not only do we have to let him fly, we also have to put him on combat readiness. He was always on combat readiness in the Second Division. If you look at his deeds and materials, from the time point of view, from the time of special danger to the go-around,
The time is very short, which shows that the Second Division has great confidence in him. The Second Division is not afraid, so what do we have to be afraid of?"
"Old Yang, of course the Second Division is not afraid. They will get whatever they want, but we should be afraid. The Communist Party only has this little property. What will you do if it is all gone? Just sit on your kite and prepare for war." Deputy Political Commissar Wang Anguo said.
The director of the Political Department smiled and said, "I said what's going on? They are all warriors with firm beliefs in the party. Don't be superstitious about this or that. It's inappropriate. Comrade Li Zhan is just a pilot. He is a pilot who has made many great achievements. He has
If you have ability and courage, you should not put it on the front line. Commander, I personally think there is no need to discuss it. Only when a comrade like Li Zhan can fully demonstrate his ability is on the front line."
Xue Xiangdong glanced at everyone and asked, "So everyone thinks he should be allowed to fly and put on combat readiness?"
"That's how it should be." Everyone nodded.
Xue Xiangdong did not hesitate anymore. He pinched the cigarette butt and said, "Okay, I will tell you my thoughts and you can think about whether it is more appropriate. Li Zhan is definitely capable, needless to say, but I don't think he is suitable right now."
Go around. I made a request to the division commander to send Comrade Li Zhan to Chang'an for training, which is the training class for young cadres in the military region. Three months can not only strengthen political and ideological study, but also a window to adjust the mentality and emotions. Wait for him
Come back and report to the previous deputy captain, and directly mention him to the main camp, Major Jin."
It is a common practice for those who come back from the Youth Cadre Class to go up a level, but to be promoted to two levels at once is unprecedented.
Everyone looked at each other, this salary is incredible. Although the position is deputy battalion, the salary has gone up. A very high position to fly a plane is of little use, the salary is king. The deputy regiment, deputy division level pilot in the military
There are a lot of them, but only a few have actual jobs.
However, when thinking of Li Zhan's four first-class merits, no one thought that such treatment was excessive.
"If you don't have any objections, just implement it as it is and I'll write the application." Xue Xiangdong said.
Passed unanimously.
The next day, Xue Xiangdong's driver drove Li Zhan to the airport in his car. Li Zhan took a flight to Chang'an. After more than three hours of flight, the flight landed in the ancient capital of Chang'an. Li Zhan then walked non-stop through the city.
The public transportation system arrived at a teaching base near Xi'an Jiaotong University. After completing the formalities and officially joining the class, it was almost dinner time.
Isn't it just a coincidence that if Li Zhan arrived at the 73rd Division a few days later, he would not be able to catch up with this session of the Youth Cadre Class. However, he arrived the day before yesterday and was forced into the list yesterday.
Young cadres to be promoted in this military region must go through the youth cadre class, which includes all services and arms within the jurisdiction, as long as they are units in the military region's combat sequence. Therefore, young officers who can study in the youth cadre class are excited
Yes, everyone is happy and happy everywhere.
After reading the roster, Li Zhan was surprised to find that the Youth Cadre Class was definitely worthy of its name. The oldest was only thirty-three years old, and most of them were young men in their twenties. It is conceivable that if these people go on to a very good career in the future,
For a high-level position, this class will definitely become the starting point of your career.
Just train, and it’s good to have a few more comrades. After comforting himself in this way, Li Zhan became less resistant. In fact, what concerned him most was the salary after raising his level. He has never forgotten that he still has
I owed a lot of money. The feeling of disappointment caused by the change in tie rod fees also dissipated.
Who would have thought that the lever fee for driving a J-7 in the 73rd Division is 250 yuan per hour. Is it just because it is a J-7ii model? Although it is only 50 yuan less than when I was in the 2nd Division, it is not worth it after one year.
Less money.
Li Zhan has seen how poor the 73rd Division is, and it is reflected in the 101st Regiment. According to regulations, Li Zhan can only take the train when he comes here for training. If he takes the plane, he is not high enough and wants to pay for it himself. But
In order for Li Zhan to arrive in Chang'an before the start of the class, Xue Xiangdong spent more than half an hour looking for a bus station before getting a promise that the bus station would pay for the transportation expenses. The bus station was too rich.
The 101st Regiment was so poor that Xue Xiangdong's car was a second-hand vehicle picked up from a certain army unit.
Let’s just talk about air service. The standard of the 101st Regiment is only two-thirds of that of the Second Division. This is not a deduction from the regiment, but is explicitly stipulated by the superiors. Who told you to be a third-class flying regiment?
Li Zhan had already expected that the days ahead would be difficult. After all, he was a "kid from a big city" and was used to big scenes, grand spectacles, and seafood. He suddenly entered the mountains, and he always had to have an adaptation period.
Take care of yourself as you come. If you don't feel at ease, it will only make your life uncomfortable and will not affect anything. Li Zhan understood this as early as when he joined the army.
At that time, his master Liu Guojian told them: "When you come, just put your mind at ease and concentrate on training. If you don't concentrate, it is you who will suffer, and you will be uncomfortable. Resistance is the most useless thing, except for affecting the quality of your training."
.Remember, you can't change anything. When you reach my stage, maybe you can try to change the environment."
There is no doubt that for the 73rd Division and the 101st Regiment, Li Zhan is a newcomer and a new soldier. He can't change anything. In this case, why bother feeling sorry for himself and making himself uncomfortable?
Training courses for young cadres of various services and arms in the military region have begun.
Li Zhan, who has hidden his merit and fame, has regained the feeling of campus life, and is very familiar with daily physical training. He studies politics in the morning to improve his ideological awareness, attends seminars and engages in physical training in the afternoon, and plays basketball and entertainment in the evening.
It also went by very quickly.
On the day of the National Day military parade, the whole class gathered at the Military Club to watch.
When Li Zhan saw the Su-27 formation flying over Tiananmen Square, he was very excited. Those were fighter planes flown by his former comrades. They were reviewed by the people across the country. Zhang Xueyang must have been in the cockpit of one of the fighters. Thinking of that
Zhang Xueyang, the second-generation super rich man who declared a challenge when they first met, Li Zhan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "You can't compare with others. If you do so well, you will end up being assigned. If you train well and train well, you will always be your trump card."
, and even flew over Tiananmen Square.
In addition to these personal emotions, Li Zhan also saw the future development trend of the army from the split formation situation. The term "synthesis" was mentioned less and less, indicating that development has reached a stage of normalization.
, the next step will definitely be major surgery. The large scale of reference for combat support equipment shows that the authorities have a clearer understanding of future wars.
As far as the Air Force is concerned, from the Space Division-Corps-Division-Regiment-Brigade to the Military District-Division-Regiment-Brigade, the latter is also out of date. In the future, the Air Force may even have to overhaul its stations. Streamlining the command hierarchy is inevitable.
, it is a trend to build a flat command mechanism. Organizing troops based on fighter aircraft types no longer meets the requirements of future wars. Mixed combat troops are definitely the only result.
As for the 101st Regiment specifically, okay, when will we replace all those old guys and then discuss the organization issue.
The wave of reform was about to hit him. Li Zhan kept asking himself whether he was ready to fight in the sky? He thought about this question for a long time like an old monk who practiced deeply. In the end, he came to the conclusion that he still thought it was rough.
A simple and clean combat style with supersonic speeds from time to time is more reliable.
Nothing is unbreakable, only speed is unbreakable.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. After the graduation ceremony, Li Zhan said goodbye to his classmates and exchanged contact information, then rushed to the airport and flew directly to Beiku without stopping for a moment.
It was early autumn when I left, and it was already winter when I returned.
