Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant in the south. Most of the plateau glaciers here are covered with white snow. Many places have frozen to form glaciers. The canyons that can be passed in summer are also blocked by ice. On the plateau with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, many snow-capped mountains are between seven and eight in height.
Kilometers. To take pictures of ground targets, you need to travel between these peaks, which is more difficult and dangerous than the Beiku Mountains.
In this environment, Li Zhan prefers to rely mainly on visual inspection and the data from the atmospheric data system as an auxiliary to control the speed and altitude of the flight. The J-8fr is really not suitable for low-altitude and low-speed flight, so he still has to keep the airspeed at three
Hundreds or more to ensure safety.
There is nothing interesting to see in the glaciers, nor in the snow-capped mountains. The main reason is that the targets are not in these places.
The altitude on the west side of the plateau drops sharply, and you can see the green hilly plains in the past, which is in sharp contrast with the glaciers on this side of the plateau.
Li Zhan's targets were at the intersection of plateau glaciers and hilly plains. Many of the simulated targets were hidden in the mountain cols, woods, and hillsides there. There were bunkers, artillery positions, strongholds, anti-aircraft missile positions, field warehouses, and
Small radar stations, combat-ready roads, etc., etc., all imaginable enemy targets have been simulated, and they are very realistic.
He was still a little scared. After all, he had been accidentally shot before, which forced him to perform a Cobra maneuver in a J-7e.
Each of the four J-8FRs has its own division of labor. The most dangerous and difficult branch route was assigned to Li Zhan. It can be seen that the superiors have carefully considered it. No one will be afraid of the difficulties. What the superiors consider is who can be more sure.
Complete this tactical reconnaissance training operation quickly and obtain the most valuable data to provide a more sufficient basis for the next step of actual combat training.
The difficulty of low-altitude penetration lies in low altitude. This tactic was first tried by Li Zhan and successfully converted into a training subject. Low-altitude photographic reconnaissance is actually based on low-altitude penetration, with penetration strikes replaced by penetration photography.
Therefore, his superiors asked Li Zhan to take on the most difficult part of the mission, flying on the right side of the plateau glacier.
In other words, he must go down to a low altitude. To his left is a plateau glacier thousands of meters above sea level. If he is not careful, he will hit the mountain and crash. The most terrible thing is that the huge drop in the terrain creates a very unstable air flow.
This adds another layer of difficulty to flying.
Li Zhan repeatedly determined the location, and then called Pulling his finger, "This is Nighthawk Yaodong Yao, calling Pulling finger, it's over."
At this time, it has entered the control range of Lazhi, and Wuzhi has already handed over the command.
Lazhi's reply was very quick, saying, "Nighthawk Yaodongyao, Lazhi received it, I saw you, keep the heading altitude, now you are under my command, over."
"Nighthawk Yaodong Yaodong understands." Li Zhan replied, confirming the position again, and said, "It is ten kilometers away from the navigation landmark. Request to transfer to the mission route, completed."
Pulling the finger paused for more than ten seconds this time, and then commanded, "Yao Dong Yao, you can transfer to the mission route. I wish you all the best. See you at the next navigation landmark."
"Understood, see you at the next navigation landmark, over."
Li Zhan turned the lever right and began to descend along the steep hillside on the west side of the plateau.
Because of the obstruction of the mountain peak, Li Zhan will not be able to maintain contact with the pull finger after descending to the handover zone. He will have to walk on his own for a part of the way down. He will not be able to regain altitude and pull the finger until he sees the next navigation landmark.
contact.
The most difficult part of the road is here.
Li Zhan connected the communication signals to the full-band radio monitoring system. Just as he could hear the conversations of Nie Jianfeng and others before, he could now hear the communications of simulated enemy targets on the ground. The premise was that the signal could be deciphered.
The -8fr radio reconnaissance system has certain cracking capabilities. The cracking program is pre-loaded and the cracking is automatically completed after the signal is collected.
As a result, Li Zhan heard the messy conversation sounds, which were signals in several frequencies. He carefully adjusted the frequency, like listening to a radio, until clear sounds appeared.
Chili guala chili guala chili guala......
Li Zhan could understand a little bit and could roughly tell that they were nervous, but he couldn't hear the specific content.
Smiling slightly, Li Zhan continued to descend steadily. The average altitude of the transfer zone was only more than 500 meters, and some low-lying areas were even only more than 100 meters. Li Zhan was flying at the foot of the mountains where the plateau glaciers are located. When he
Dropping to a height of 600 meters, the turbulence suddenly increased.
After carefully confirming the simulated targets that needed to be photographed marked on the mission map, Li Zhan put the cardboard aside, turned on the high-speed camera, and began to fly over the first target. He suspected that the Nighthawk Squadron had done this before
During the reconnaissance training operation, the reason was that his superiors required him to shoot at a low altitude, and the height of the ground should not exceed 500 meters. This shows that the superiors must pay attention to the details, otherwise a slightly higher altitude would be more appropriate and panoramic photos could be taken.
If this reconnaissance training operation is regarded as an exercise, then Li Zhan is playing the role of the Red Army at this time, and the group of simulated enemy forces on the ground is the Blue Army. Both sides are acting in accordance with the requirements of their superiors, but the Blue Army is not
Having been notified in advance, they were caught off guard.
The su-27ubk responsible for the decoy mission have continued along their combat readiness patrol route. At this time, all the blue army ground targets in front of Li Zhan were quiet, living as usual. It was dinner time, it was time to eat.
When it was time to take a break after eating, the officers and soldiers of one air defense position even held a barbecue dinner on the position, eating a lot of meat and drinking wine.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Li Zhan not to go smoothly.
He was not worried about the blue troops on the ground. The most important thing to pay close attention to was the turbulent airflow. He soon realized that he was flying in the turbulent layer at the foot of the mountain. He glanced at the data from the atmospheric data system and was disappointed to find that the airflow was moving up and down.
The space was limited, and the altitude given by his superiors was only 100 meters, so he didn't have much leeway.
There is no other way except to control the flying attitude of a fighter plane with 12 points of mind.
The relative altitude is 300 meters, the flight speed is 300 kilometers per hour, and the heading is 120 degrees.
After successfully flying over the first target, the radar warning flashed crazily, and the mechanical female voice suddenly sounded: "Radar warning! Radar warning! Radar warning!"
The senior sister should be asked to record this warning sound. At least before being shot down, she can listen to the female voice that makes people unable to help but "first level combat readiness".
Li Zhan increased his speed slightly. He didn't dare to take risks. If several surface-to-air missiles were not to hit him at once, he would not be able to avoid them no matter what.
The higher the frequency of the alarm sound, the higher the threat.
It lasted for almost half a minute, but it was still calling, and it became more and more intensive, indicating that the threatening target was ahead.
Li Zhan had to make a choice.
He only has one YJ-91 anti-radiation air-to-ground missile. If he destroys it now, he will not have an attack weapon if more important targets appear later, so he must make a careful decision. This is a test of the pilot's ability to perform tasks alone, without superior command.
What to do in order to obtain the greatest results under the circumstances. This is a very important component of this long-distance tactical reconnaissance training operation.
"emission!"
Li Zhan decisively powered on the YJ-91 anti-radiation air-to-ground missile without presetting parameters to the seeker, so he had to wait for the seeker to capture the signal to confirm the target. This process did not take long. After x seconds, Li Zhan
The missile was launched, and then he decisively turned on the afterburner to accelerate.
The two jet engines of unknown type of No. 101 J-8FR roared wildly, pushing the fighter jet past the target ahead at low altitude and high speed.
After Li Zhan saw a ball of fire exploding in the woods ahead, he immediately pulled up his horse and climbed up. The fighter jet, which accelerated to more than 900 kilometers per hour, quickly reached its maximum climb rate and quickly disappeared into the sky with the help of mountain peaks as cover.
The Blue Army's air defense position was stunned and could only watch as "that fast-flying" fighter jet disappeared...
