The Spring Festival of 2010 is coming soon, and the first snow of the new year is falling. The New Year is coming, so Li Zhan is thinking about flying every day, and everyone else is getting ready to welcome the New Year.
Many people have forgotten what kind of force the 73rd Division is. No matter how broken it is, it is still a fighter division on the front line. It is responsible for daily combat readiness patrols and ensuring the safety of the airspace line. The 101st Regiment was put on combat readiness last year.
This year it's the brotherhood's turn.
However, combat readiness patrols are generally strengthened during major holidays, and all troops must have combat readiness duty units. Li Zhan and Xue Xiangdong managed to use the name of the military region's simulated blue army aviation unit to snatch away the holiday combat readiness mission of a large unit that should have been.
There's no point in trying to grab it.
The weather did not allow flying.
After arranging things in the family room, Li Zhan went to the weather station every day, rubbing Zhang Yuan every day, as if Zhang Yuan could affect the weather. Of course Zhang Yuan could not affect the weather, but only he could decide whether he could fly.
On this point, even what the division commander Chen Hualin said was useless, let alone Xue Xiangdong.
Once Zhang Yuan signs, you can fly. If he doesn't sign, you can't fly. There is absolutely no third possibility. This is the absolute power and absolute responsibility of the person in charge of the weather station.
Slowly Zhang Yuan saw that Li Zhan ultimately wanted him to sign and let him go.
"Are you kidding? Who is responsible if something goes wrong? I am responsible! Don't mess with me!" Finally, the day before New Year's Eve, Zhang Yuan couldn't help it anymore and reprimanded Li Zhan, and then persuaded him earnestly, "Brother No. 1.
, why don’t you just stop fussing about it, okay? You let me have a good meal during the Chinese New Year. The weather conditions don’t allow flying. Even if I sign for you, what will happen if something goes wrong? You also have to consider everyone’s safety. Okay, okay, okay.
, don’t say any more, you want to conduct combat training under complex weather conditions, I support it, haven’t I always supported you, but you also have to divide your time, this is a legal holiday during the Chinese New Year, you let everyone live in peace for a few days
day."
Li Zhan became unhappy and said, "Deputy Director Zhang, what you said is wrong. If you want to go home and hold your wife on your birthday, why do you want to be a soldier? Soldiers want to live a happy life, but ordinary people don't.
! Why do we come to the army from all over the world to put on military uniform? The reason is to protect our country and to let the people live a peaceful life! Never forget the original intention and keep the mission in mind, the highest superior mentioned in his speech during the inspection of the xx army last year
Contemporary soldiers must be more dedicated than ever before, always unswervingly implement the highest purpose of serving the people into specific work, always unswervingly put improving combat capabilities in the first place, and always firmly
Unswervingly promote that our army is not afraid of hardship or fatigue..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Zhang Yuan immediately realized that he had made a mistake and should not have thought of giving political education lessons to Li Zhan. His political talk could fool even a proven cadre like the regiment leader.
He was dizzy.
"Even if you say "flower", I can't sign this word. I can't make fun of the pilot's life, and neither can you!" Zhang Yuan's attitude was very firm.
Li Zhan changed his tactics, pointed to the cloud map and said, "Except for snowfall, other conditions meet the minimum meteorological requirements. We can't let the troops stop fighting when it snows, right? There are aviation snowplows at the station, all of which are operating twenty-five times at the same time.
The snow on the main runway can be cleared within minutes. As long as I get to the sky, there will be no problem."
"What about the crosswind? Let me ask you, what about the crosswind on the ground? See for yourself, it has exceeded the minimum meteorological standards." Zhang Yuan said, pointing to the latest recorded crosswind data on the ground.
Li Zhan said, "It can be overcome. It's not that I haven't trained on the subject of taking off in strong crosswinds. It's just right. Let's integrate it and learn it. If we fight against the Red Army in the future, the Red Army can't take off and we can't take off. Then we will have an asymmetric advantage."
Yet?"
"Taking off in a strong crosswind? Do you think you are in the second division? Even in the second division, single-engine fighters have never done training in taking off in a strong crosswind. Is it possible that you want to fly the J-6?" Zhang Yuan said with a sneer.
Everyone knows this truth.
Single-engine fighters have a natural weakness, because they do not have the conditions to use the thrust difference between the two engines to resist the influence of crosswinds. It is difficult to rely solely on the rudder wing of the vertical tail. The most important thing is that the J-7 cannot do this, but the J-7 cannot.
-10 This kind of third-generation machine that uses a fly-by-wire control system and has an intelligent management system can do it.
Where can I find the third-generation aircraft in Group 101?
Zhang Yuan ridiculed Li Zhan for flying the J-6 because the J-6 is a twin-engine fighter that can take off in strong crosswinds by adjusting the thrust of the left and right engines. However, what Zhang Yuan did not understand was that the J-6 was such a master
The machine simply cannot adjust the thrust of a certain engine independently! Neither can the Plus.
Li Zhan didn't say anything, but instead asked, "Who told you that single-engine fighters can't do it? Lao Zhang, let me tell you, there are no weak fighters, only meaty ones. If you are willing to give fuel, there is no fighter that can't fly."
"You're driving!" Zhang Yuan said helplessly, "Is this how the plane flies? Besides, can you overcome strong crosswinds with high speed?"
"You don't know how to fly. Anyway, we have a way. Lao Zhang, I won't embarrass you. As long as it meets the minimum weather requirements, you must sign this for me. You can't let me get stuck. Don't take the Spring Festival as an excuse.
Why don't we stop fighting during the Chinese New Year?" Li Zhan took a step back and said.
He has also carefully weighed it. So far, only Han Hongjun and Li Zixin have conducted training under complex weather conditions. The weather now is worse than before. After all, it is not safe to rush the entire brigade. He must have
Consider Xue Xiangdong's feelings.
So he took a step back and agreed that all data would meet the minimum meteorological requirements before applying for a flight.
Zhang Yuan was also annoyed by Li Zhan, so he agreed and said, "As long as the minimum weather requirements are met, I will definitely sign in accordance with the regulations. As for whether you can fly, it is not up to me."
"I'll go ask for instructions from the regiment, as long as you don't block me in the weather," Li Zhan said.
"Okay, okay, come back quickly. It's New Year's Eve tomorrow, why don't your brigade do something about the hygiene?" Zhang Yuan waved his hand.
Li Zhan sighed and said, "Let's do it, why not do it? I heard that leaders are coming to inspect on New Year's Day. You have to keep an eye on me and try to fly up there on New Year's Day. Otherwise, what will the leaders inspect?
Can’t we have a queue? What’s the point of not flying the plane into the sky?”
"Okay, this is a political task, I'm sure I'll take it seriously." Zhang Yuan also stopped joking and agreed seriously.
Li Zhan waved his hand and left.
There are two festivals that are more enjoyable for soldiers, Army Day and Spring Festival, which are also the most important festivals of the year. One is everyone’s birthday, and the other symbolizes reunion. Most military units implement the statutory holiday system.
There are also weekend breaks, but this is not the case for front-line troops and full-training troops. They are basically either training or preparing for training.
The term "fully trained troops" is an old saying. It exists in all branches of the military, and it is not determined by the level of equipment, but by the nature of the garrison area, combat orientation, missions, etc. The 73rd Division is the famous Western Ragged King Division, which specializes in
I picked up second-hand goods from my brother's troops, but this division is still a fully trained division with a full staff. Two of the three flight regiments are large-organized regiments. Although the equipment is old and worn, the quantity is definitely enough, and the quantity is large enough.
Well.
Therefore, for the 73rd Division, Army Day and Spring Festival are even more important. After all, there is not much time to rest.
Li Zhan could not and would not spoil the good mood of the officers and soldiers during the festival, so he did not mention anything about training and led everyone to do a thorough housekeeping throughout the afternoon. Perhaps it was to take care of him.
Because of his mood, the regiment put him on combat readiness duty on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Xue Xiangdong and other regiment leaders finally realized that nothing could stimulate Li Zhan except flying.
At the New Year's Eve reunion dinner, the group and the station jointly had a big meal. As an exception, each person was given a bottle of beer. However, judging from the situation in previous years, most of them had to drink more. In addition to the pilots on combat readiness duty, other pilots were also
Drinking is allowed by default. It’s the Chinese New Year, and they are all children who have left home. No one is homesick, and no leader can forcibly stop it.
Li Zhan ate and chatted with the brothers in the brigade. The dining hall was full of laughter and laughter. From time to time, loud shouts that almost shook the ceiling were heard: "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!! Fuck!!!"
Xue Xiangdong was the happiest. He was a well-known drunkard of the 73rd Division. He could not walk because of the smell of alcohol. He led the team leaders to toast table by table, thanking the brothers for their hard work in the past year, and encouraging the comrades.
In the coming year, I will continue to work hard and climb to the top, and the beer will be poured from one tea vat to another.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Zhan handed over the team to Nan Lianghong to greet him, and took Li Zixin to the flight briefing room to take over the duty of the previous pilot. It was not dark yet, but it was snowing a little, and the scenery was quite strange.
Combat readiness duty is not training. Unless the weather is so bad that the aircraft cannot get into the sky, once there is an air condition, you have to take off with all your strength. There is no second option. Therefore, this is completely different from Li Zhanmo and Zhang Yuan signing.
The two J-7s were on duty. Li Zhan's No. 101 fighter plane was never able to find the reason why the engine was not operating normally. After repeated tests, all aspects were normal, so it returned to normal training status. At this time, the ground power supply truck had already
The aircraft on duty was started, and the fuel pipes of the refueling trucks continued to replenish fuel for the aircraft on duty. As soon as the order was given, these ground auxiliary equipment were immediately removed, and the pilots could slide out directly. At this time, the cost-efficiency issue was not considered.
No matter how much aviation fuel is wasted, it is necessary to ensure that the aircraft on duty is in driving condition and minimize the take-off preparation time.
During the festive season, we miss our loved ones so much that we talk about things at home, the New Year’s Eve scenes in previous years and the New Year’s Eve scenes in our hometown. Li Zhan and Li Zixin chatted about interesting things, and the flying helmet
Keep it at hand, all other equipment has been put on, and when the order comes, just pick up the helmet and rush out.
Compared with the Second Division, which has a more complicated surrounding environment in the area, the 73rd Division is relatively peaceful. One is a long-term friendly strategic partnership, and the others simply cannot afford the air force. In some countries, the number of fighter aircraft equipped by the entire air force is
Not as many as the 73rd Division.
Li Zhan really couldn't imagine what situation the 73rd Division would encounter. In fact, his idea was right. So he was mentally prepared to sit on the bench, so that when the order suddenly came, he hesitated.
