The days when I can't fly are absolutely unbearable. In addition to sweating to keep my body functions in shape, I only have to go to simulators and attend lectures. Occasionally, I have the opportunity to have tactical discussions with the flight instructors.
Fortunately, such days did not last long.
After all combat readiness duties were handed over to the two J-8s of the Sixth Regiment and the Fifth Regiment, the Fourth Regiment concentrated its manpower and material resources on training new pilots.
On the fifth day when Nie Jianfeng was the target, Li Zhan went shooting solo.
The last time Chen Fei led training, Li Zhan's performance had completely met the standards of solo target shooting. Naturally, the division would not let him waste aviation fuel at an unnecessary stage as Li Zhan wanted. For the superiors, they liked to watch it the most.
To pilots like Li Zhan, they use the least amount of aviation fuel to complete their training.
At 2:15 that afternoon, Li Zhan once again sat in the cockpit of his No. 37 fighter jet. After completing the pre-takeoff inspection, he signed the flight inspection sheet handed over by the mechanic.
He got down on the boarding ladder and then removed it. The signalman gave the order to drive. Li Zhan drove, and the wp-13f engine made a sharp sound.
Everything was normal, and the signalman signaled to close the hatch cover.
Li Zhan closed the hatch cover.
The signalman signaled to slide out.
Li Zhan taxied out of the parking space and walked along the taxiway to the take-off position. At this time, a J-7 took off, roaring and climbing towards the training airspace to find Nie Jianfeng. At the same time, the pilot still needed to be trained, and Li Zhan had already started flying solo.
Trained.
In total, this was the third time he and Fighter 37 flew. The first time he went directly to Airspace 2 to deal with the air situation, and the second time he served as Nie Jianfeng's wingman to the western part of the South China Sea to deal with the air situation. They were all face-to-face.
Head-to-head, the cooperation was perfect and smooth.
Li Zhan even had the illusion that the soul of Fighter No. 37 at the training base had followed him and was now possessing the Fighter No. 37 beneath him.
Today's weather is not good. The entire sky is covered by clouds, like a cover. From the ground up, you can't see the blue sky or the sun. The height of the clouds is low, about one thousand meters. After the fighter plane took off,
Climb through the clouds into the airspace above the clouds and start training there.
People in Xi County used to regard Xi County Airport as a more accurate "observatory". When the "loud" planes started flying, it meant that the weather was very good, it would not rain and there would not be many clouds. When
No more flights, which means the weather will get bad soon.
It's definitely a caricature of Air Force pilots, and it's a caricature of fact, because it is.
Combat capabilities in complex weather are inconsistent with safe flight. Back then, it was not only a problem of ideas, but also a problem of equipment. Since the 21st century, these ideas that are completely inconsistent with the requirements of actual combat training have begun to be corrected, and equipment has been updated one after another.
As well as the increasingly enhanced support capabilities, it provides pilots with the conditions to hone their combat capabilities in complex weather conditions.
The "Observatory's" forecast is no longer accurate, which is the best compliment to the Second Division.
Therefore, ten years ago, flying in weather like today would have been impossible.
The tower once again reported the weather data to Li Zhan. Today's commander Yu Chenglin reminded, "Summer comes early in West County, so pay attention to thunder and lightning clouds."
"Understood." Li Zhan was confident and was not affected by the last crash at all.
Huang Xiaoyue believed in the report that it was not unreasonable for him to have a strong psychological quality. At least Chen Fei's recovery was much slower than Li Zhan's.
"Three turns into the hole, get ready to take off." Yu Chenglin gave the order.
Confirm the status of the flaps, confirm that the engine speed has reached the specified value, release the brakes, and the fighter plane starts to taxi. Li Zhan pushes the throttle lever to the bottom, and the thrust increases rapidly, reaching the take-off requirements. He pulls the stick backward, and the fighter plane lifts off the ground at a large angle. He pedals
The left rudder turned left while retracting the landing gear. The belly of the aircraft was facing the tower. The entire landing gear retraction process was clearly presented in front of Cheng Lin.
Watching Fighter No. 37 climbing at a large angle, Yu Chenglin couldn't help but nod, admiring Li Zhan's skills from the bottom of his heart. There were low cumulonimbus clouds in the direction of takeoff. If the fighter took off and climbed normally, the fighter plane would pass through the cumulonimbus clouds.
past.
Without Cheng Lin's deliberate reminder, Li Zhan knew very well how to avoid turning left and climbing off the ground. This is not an action that new pilots have the ability to dare to do. It can be proved that Li Zhan is not only very familiar with the performance of the J-7e, but also
It’s almost to the point where man and machine become one.
Yu Chenglin looked at the other people on duty and found that everyone was a little bored, but it felt a bit like watching an air show.
Yes, it is true that I feel very comfortable watching Li Zhan's flying, but I don't care so much about his training. Such a simple simulated target shooting training must be easy for Brother No. 1, and there is no suspense.
The deputy commander is Zhang Wei. The popular person next to this political commissar who is developing into a comprehensive staff officer smiled and said to Cheng Lin, "Looking at him flying, it's as if he has a hand holding the vertical tail. He can fly however he wants, whatever he wants."
How beautiful it is to fly."
"You're talking about model aircraft training." Yu Chenglin smiled.
Zhang Wei nodded, "Yes, that's what it means."
News reports often see several pilots making gestures with model aircraft on the ground in order to practice route flying and formation coordination. In fact, the ground not captured by the camera has landmarks painted on it. Because of confidentiality, it cannot appear in the picture.
.
"That's an exaggeration." Yu Chenglin said, "We are not the Bayi performance team. It is useless to look good. We must be practical."
Zhang Wei said, "It is not practical enough to meet the requirements for solo target shooting in one training session. Logistics Minister Wang said that if everyone was like Li Zhan, he would have to save a lot of aviation fuel. He could build a family community in the division after two visits.
Woke up."
"That can never be built." Yu Chenglin laughed.
After looking at the time, he said, "It's time for the previous flight to return."
Zhang Wei immediately contacted the previous flight and ordered the return flight. Nie Jianfeng, the target aircraft, returned to the starting position again, and then Li Zhan would catch up. Nie Jianfeng repeated the previous flight route and actions, and Li Zhan conducted simulated shooting training. Such training is also boring.
Yes, it has the same meaning as infantry shooting fixed targets.
Without the trainer, Li Zhan seems to be performing better.
He took the initiative to contact the tower, "Tower, if you can increase the escape action, I would like to give it a try."
Zhang Wei looked at Yu Chenglin, who picked up the microphone and replied, "Yes, you can increase the escape movement by turning around the hole. Pay attention to the height."
"Understood." Nie Jianfeng cheered up and was finally able to do some tricks.
"Dong Sanguai, pay attention, I started running." Nie Jianfeng said with a smile.
Li Zhan said calmly, "I understand."
The Dongguaidong fighter jet, which had been in compliance for more than an hour, suddenly climbed with afterburners and turned its nose toward the west toward the sun. After Li Zhan chased him, he looked up and saw that Nie Jianfeng was also very smart and used the backlight to avoid pursuit. If Li Zhan followed,
If he ran, he would definitely lose his target. He rolled decisively, then turned on the afterburner and climbed at a large angle.
In an air battle, whoever occupies the height has the initiative. Especially in battles within visual range, the purpose of both sides using all their strength is to occupy the rear height. If they are targeted from behind and there is no height advantage, 80%
None of the pilots could escape the attack.
It was only allowed to add escape movements, and the two boys ended up fighting. But this was indeed an escape movement, and Yu Chenglin couldn't say anything.
At this time, Li Zhan flew the fighter plane beyond the speed of sound, and the huge sound of supersonic flight resounded over Xi County. He continuously drove the wp-13f engine to squeeze out the thrust and climbed wildly at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. After arriving in the training airspace
Before the edge, slowly push the stick forward to resume level flight, turn off the afterburner, reduce the throttle, and turn clockwise to obtain a good downward view.
Nie Jianfeng looked back and didn't see Li Zhan. He thought for a moment, resumed level flight, and then turned counterclockwise to the south. Li Zhan couldn't stand the backlight, and neither could he. He looked around for Li Zhan, but was surprised to find something.
nothing.
Yu Chenglin in the tower smiled slightly. He already knew what Li Zhan wanted to do. His flying style was bold and he was very calm when choosing tactical actions, but it was a bit laborious and the engine turned on afterburner at every turn.
"Dong Sanguai, where did you go?" Nie Jianfeng couldn't help but ask on the radio, "Didn't you find me? Can I give you a hint?"
A few seconds later, Li Zhan replied, "Dongguaidong, I'm on top of you."
Nie Jianfeng was horrified. He raised his head and turned around looking for Li Zhan through the canopy. Finally, he was horrified to find Li Zhan rushing over from the side, rear and top.
"You kid!" Nie Jianfeng gritted his teeth, pressed the gas pedal and started to dive.
Diving to gain speed is a common technique. Without speed, you cannot avoid attacks. However, at this time, Nie Jianfeng did not have much height to use. He could only make a "half-second" condition, and then rolled to try to get away from Li Zhan.
Locking. How could Li Zhan, who had already locked on him, let go so easily? In a very short few seconds, he first completed the short-range missile locking, and then completed the simulated shooting of the cannon.
At this time, Nie Jianfeng was doing a barrel roll maneuver...
As the party being pursued, the significance of the barrel roll maneuver is to reduce the forward distance while gaining altitude. The greatest significance is that it allows Li Zhan in the rear hemisphere to run in front of him, thus reversing the passive situation. Of course, Li Zhan can also perform barrel rolls.
Use the rolling maneuver to respond, keeping yourself in Nie Jianfeng's back hemisphere and having a height advantage.
Nie Jianfeng was actually bullying students. He believed that even if Li Zhan could do the barrel roll maneuver, he had no experience in using it in actual combat and would most likely accidentally run in front of him. When the time comes, he would lock onto him and simulate a counterattack, and then explain it to Li Zhan after he landed.
How to deal with this situation.
As a result, before his barrel roll maneuver was completed, Li Zhan completed the attack...
Seeing that Nie Jianfeng was still making precise maneuvers, Li Zhan had to speak. He said, "Dongguaidong, I have escaped."
"Huh? You broke away? Didn't you bite?" Nie Jianfeng felt a little disappointed, but he was also proud of his decisive and straightforward evasive maneuver. He simply explained his experience, "Don't be discouraged, you have to pay attention to my movements.
, Theoretically, you follow my actions, otherwise it is easy to lose the target. Yes, height is very important, you know this. I was really shocked when you rushed down from above. Remember, height is everything.
...Tower, can we do it again?"
"...Okay, pay attention to the altitude. There is a civil aviation route above your head."
