In the shaking car, Li Zhan was drowsy. A captain, two non-commissioned officers and an aviation doctor were also in the car. Some closed their eyes to rest, and some were observing Li Zhan.
This is an off-road Iveco personnel carrier. It drove out from Duda Station and arrived at the Plateau Civil Aviation Airport more than two hours later. It picked up Li Zhan and returned immediately.
The No. 101 J-8fr has been protected by the security company who arrived at the station. The support vehicles and technicians will wait for dawn to arrive and perform relevant processing. Then Li Zhan has to go and drive back.
Because he was flying a tactical reconnaissance aircraft, Li Zhan became a high-level secret personnel. According to regulations, he could not stay outside, so he had to return to the station immediately.
Li Zhan didn't say a word after getting on the bus, and the captain and noncommissioned officer who picked him up didn't speak either. They only spoke a few words when the aviation doctor asked about his physical condition. It was obvious that they had been given special instructions to pay attention to.
Because of its special geographical location, Duda Station has a more fighting atmosphere than inland stations in many aspects, and the officers and soldiers here have a stronger sense of combat. Li Zhan was very touched by this.
He had stayed here for about a year and had been stationed at Duda Station for short periods many times. He was relatively familiar with Duda Station. After the vehicle drove into Duda Station at night, Li Zhan immediately retrieved it.
The feeling of the past has changed. The buildings built completely according to battlefield standards are covered with thick camouflage or painted in colors consistent with the surface. The various support facilities are meticulously planned, just like the standards of frontline bases. There are only a few faint spots in the dark night.
When you see the lights, you can see that this is a station that has implemented strict light control for a long time.
Different from other stations, the Duda station not only supports the Air Force aviation units, but also the Army Aviation often stationed here for training, and has three S-70 general-purpose helicopters as rapid transportation tools. Because it is thousands of meters away
The only active helicopter that can fly normally in plateau areas is this old aircraft that has been in use for nearly 30 years.
When the vehicle drove past the repair hangar on the parallel highway, Li Zhan saw that the brightly lit maintenance crew inside was repairing a tactical transport aircraft that looked very similar to a C-130 but had weird details. He was stunned on the spot and fell down.
He stared intently at the car window until he could no longer see it, and the dusty memories began to wake up.
"Major, we're here." The captain spoke, bringing Li Zhan back from his thoughts.
Li Zhan nodded slightly, followed them out of the car, and then saw the familiar two-story flat-top building.
"Major, please rest first. I'm sorry, but you can't leave this building without permission." The captain said calmly, without any apology in his tone.
"I understand, thank you for your hard work."
Li Zhan followed the captain with his helmet in hand. He was given a suite, which was not small in size and relatively regular with three bedrooms and two living rooms, occupying half a floor. After Li Zhan entered, the captain opened the door and brought the two
The famous noncommissioned officer is standing guard outside, and double sentries are arranged around the clock.
The change of clothes and daily necessities were still in the same place, neatly placed on the clean coffee table. Li Zhan put the flight helmet away and sat down, staring at the desert camouflage training uniform, wide-brimmed hat, and camouflage
Looking at the rubber shoes, armed belt, sunglasses, military rank and armband, I felt a lot of emotion.
The room is very warm, and there is a centralized supply of floor heating. Even if the temperature drops to more than minus 30 at night, there is no need to worry. After decades of development and construction, the construction of barracks in difficult and remote areas is getting better and better, and the living environment of the officers and soldiers is better.
Great changes have been made. The key is to have money and sufficient military spending.
After taking a hot bath and changing into desert camouflage clothes, Li Zhan lay down on the sofa in the living room and slept in his clothes.
At six o'clock in the morning, it is still late at night for people in the area, but a new day of work and life has begun in the barracks.
When the door was pushed open, Li Zhan sat up, as if there was a nerve thread connected to the door.
A stocky colonel came in, with a typical plateau red complexion, wearing a desert camouflage uniform that was obviously worn, and his unshaven appearance did not meet the requirements of military appearance.
"Good boy." Guo Beimu, chief of staff of Duda Station, suddenly smiled when he saw Li Zhan's rough face.
Li Zhan immediately stood up and saluted, controlling his excitement, "Old battalion commander!"
"Stand back and let me take a look." Guo Beimu looked at Li Zhan with his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, "Okay, you look like a leader now."
Li Zhan said, "You are just a captain, not what kind of leader you are."
"That's also a leader." Guo Beimu pointed at Li Zhan and asked him to sit down and talk. "In charge of more than a dozen Su Liangqi, he is better than me, the chief of staff of the station."
"I am your soldier." Li Zhan said.
Guo Beimu sighed with emotion for a while and said, "I talked to your master on the phone a few days ago about your situation. Li Zhan, I, the old battalion commander, am very pleased to see you back on track."
"Old battalion commander, I..."
Waving his hand, Guo Beimu said, "Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about your situation. Why haven't you changed your reckless temper yet? It's excusable that you ran to the wrong airport. Why did you run out of fuel in advance?
You didn’t fly according to the planned route?”
Li Zhan had to explain, "Old battalion commander, when you see the reconnaissance data, you will know that I have no choice. In the second half of the period, I found that the Blue Army had created several new simulated targets, mainly large bunkers.
It was a rare opportunity, so I took a short detour to take pictures.”
"If this is the case, we may consider not punishing you." Guo Beimu nodded slightly and said, "This long-distance reconnaissance training operation is very important. It will focus on testing the actual combat capabilities of the tactical reconnaissance unit. At the same time, the army is in urgent need of this information. You
The intelligence detected is very important and cannot be lost. The boss is very angry about your alternate landing at the civil aviation airport and has launched an investigation, including the flight guidance error, to get to the bottom of it."
Li Zhan said, "I'm not afraid of punishment."
"No one in the old army has been punished. You can't break this example." Guo Beimu said seriously.
Li Zhan nodded solemnly and said, "I understand, and I am sure that the additional intelligence information obtained is worth the risk."
"I believe you will not take such an important operation as a joke. You cannot leave this building until the investigation is completed, and you don't need to fly the plane. I will arrange for someone to fly it back," Guo Beimu said.
Li Zhan frowned and said, "According to the plan, we will conduct a reconnaissance after dawn. I have to return the same way."
"You don't have to go, others will finish it. The Blue Army's reaction was a bit loud, thinking that we caught them off guard by not following the rules, and they have already complained to us," Guo Beimu said.
Li Zhan smiled and said, "Practical training. Practical training means that everything must be done according to actual combat requirements. If you say hello in advance, it is still actual combat training, not acting."
"That's the truth, but now many people's training concepts have not been completely converted, and it needs a process." Guo Beimu said, "The simulated Blue Army brigade you did in Beiku did a good job. I have heard about it.
The second division was pushed down on the runway and beaten."
Li Zhan said, "This is just an appetizer. The reason why it has such a big impact is mainly because our training model over the past many years has become a formality, and the operational thinking of our officers and soldiers has become rigid. As you said, it takes a long time to bring about changes.
process."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhan asked in a low voice, "Old battalion commander, that aircraft in the maintenance hangar... seems different from the one we used before?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, you are no longer in there." Guo Beimu said coldly.
Li Zhan raised his chin, "I understand, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."
The answer he wanted to know was already there. The old army might be rebuilt, which was good news.
