If you want live ammunition, you must report it to the military district and the aviation department for filing. After that, all the information, including the shooting film, must be compiled into a file and submitted, including how many rounds were fired and where they were fired, etc.
It's not something you can fight whenever you want.
Fortunately, the Second Division is a unit that often encounters various air situations. The military region and the air force responded quickly and got approval. Fang Chenghe also came to the tower. When it came time to use live ammunition, Yu Chenglin, who was at the deputy regiment level, couldn't do it.
Yes, it must be an assistant division commander or above.
"Dongsanguai, report the target situation." Of course, Fang Chenghe refused to let him go and sat in the commander's seat, pulled the microphone and called Li Zhan.
Li Zhan replied, "The target is floating in the sky above the town. According to visual inspection, there are no conditions that can cause damage to the ground. The shooting conditions are ripe."
"Check again, it must not have any impact on the town." Fang Chenghe ordered.
"clear!"
Li Zhan slowed down slightly and got closer, carefully observing the Youyouyou balloon. It was actually an ordinary hydrogen balloon, just a little larger. The hanging banner was buoyant in the air, so even if it fell,
The wooden sticks at both ends will not cause harm to people and objects on the ground.
Besides, there's no telling where it will float to.
At this time, Lin Haodong couldn't help but remind him, "The shock wave caused by the explosion of the hydrogen balloon is not small. You must control the distance when shooting."
Yu Chenglin glanced at Lin Haodong, "The shock wave from a distance of several hundred meters can overturn the plane."
After smiling, Lin Haodong did not feel embarrassed and kept silent. He simply wanted to make his presence felt in front of the Chief of Staff.
Fang Chenghe's attention was obviously not on the two deputy commanders who were fighting openly and covertly. He stared at the radar screen, with the microphone right next to his mouth, and said, "The hole is three turns, and the conditions are ripe for shooting."
"clear."
Li Zhan shivered all over.
Shooting with a balloon is easier than shooting with a target. The target is towed by an airplane, simulating the enemy aircraft in motion. There are preconditions. The balloon is relatively stationary. Even if it has speed, it will not be too difficult.
Prerequisites. But the feeling at this time is completely different. Maybe it’s because this is the reason why it’s empty and real?
He turned the fuselage sideways and looked towards the ground.
Now that the altitude was very low, we could clearly see a small group of red in a certain area of the town on the ground. It should be the red carpet laid at the wedding banquet site, and the area was slightly larger than a regular target.
Press the lever to lower the altitude and pedal the left rudder to turn at a steep slope. When the nose of the aircraft points to the balloon, its position is already inside the town area, while the nose of the aircraft points to the outside of the town area and the height is lower than the balloon. This is done
The purpose is to ensure that the warhead will not fall into the town area. The height is lower than the balloon to form an upward shooting angle, and also to prevent the warhead from falling into the town area.
"Tower, I'm ready to shoot."
After Li Zhan made a report, he aimed the balloon diagonally upward toward the outside of the town, opened the cover of the launch button, and aimed above the head-up display hung in the middle of the instrument panel like an additional copycat navigator.
panel, when the target coincided with the aiming point, the right thumb wearing a white labor protection glove pressed down decisively.
Fighter No. 037 trembled and fired its 30mm cannon, easily penetrating the balloon. Even if there was no direct hit, the close proximity of the bomb head would completely make the balloon disappear.
The balloon was popped and exploded in the air in front of him.
Decisively push the throttle lever to restore the angles of the leading edge maneuvering flaps and main flaps. Press the control stick slightly, and the fighter returns to level flight from a diagonally upward climb attitude. After another graceful 180-degree turn, it is confirmed that the target has been targeted.
After being destroyed, the red banner was slowly floating and falling into a forest on the ground.
The sound of shooting attracted the attention of people eating banquets on the ground. Because the height was not high, some people even saw a trace of fire coming from the muzzle of the fighter plane when it fired to blow up the balloons. Just when everyone was surprised, they not only saw the floating balloons
After being beaten up, I also saw the banner falling into the woods outside the town. Several young people got on their motorcycles, turned the accelerator and rushed excitedly in the direction of the banner falling.
Li Zhan can no longer see these details.
"Tower, the target has disappeared, it's over." Li Zhizhi felt excited, but it didn't have the uncontrollable excitement that everyone imagined for a new pilot who was shooting for the first time.
"Return!" Fang Chenghe breathed a sigh of relief and gave the order decisively.
"clear."
Li Zhan flew back, leaving only a small and elegant sign for the people in the town who raised their heads and paid attention.
At this time, everyone in the tower breathed a sigh of relief. Even if they were just blowing up balloons, everyone's psychological feelings were completely different because of the seemingly empty orders. This time, no one would think of Li Zhan first.
New pilot tag on him.
Beautifully done.
This is nothing more than an old bird.
The weatherman hurriedly took off his headphones and turned to Fang Chenghe to report, "Chief, there is thunder and lightning here, coming from the east!"
Hearing this, Fang Chenghe immediately stood up and walked behind the weatherman. Yu Chenglin immediately took over Fang Chenghe's command, because at this time, the fleet of aircraft that had finished training was queuing up to land. Lin Haodong's heart suddenly lifted, and he followed closely. He was really scared.
Come what may, isn’t this kind of weather what airplanes fear the most? If you don’t come early, you won’t come late, but you come at this time. The Sixth Regiment still has a batch of two in the sky.
However, the control tower did not panic because it was very familiar with the weather in Xi County.
"How much window time is there?" Fang Chenghe asked the weatherman directly.
The weatherman was not a soldier, but an officer who graduated from a serious professional military academy. He was a major and had been stationed for five years. It was easy to imagine the sudden changes in weather that could make him panic.
"The clouds are moving very fast, and the accompanying wind has exceeded the allowable value. We only have ten minutes at most." The weatherman major gave the answer with certainty.
Fang Chenghe immediately turned around and ordered Yu Chenglin, "Speed up!"
"yes!"
There is a plan.
Yu Chenglin immediately reported the situation to the training formation still in the sky. At this time, a batch of two aircraft from the Fourth Regiment had landed, and a batch of two aircraft from the Sixth Regiment were queuing up to enter the landing route.
The pilot in the sky could see it more clearly. Zhang Xueyang, who was sitting in the back cabin and had taken over the control, reported to the tower, "Most of the county is gone. There is a lot of lightning. The clouds are moving very fast and the rainfall is very heavy."
"Two holes and nine, you land second." Yu Chenglin put Zhang Xueyang in second place without hesitation, and let another Su-27 two-seater land first.
Zhang Xueyang was very calm, "Two holes and nine received."
All movements are much faster than before. All control of the aircraft is taken over by the instructors in the rear cabin. The new pilots in the front cabin can do nothing but speed up their hearts. Those who can calm down will take the opportunity to learn the instructor's emergency landing actions.
.
"Chief, it's too late for Dong Sanguai to return to the main site. You see, this area is where the thunder and lightning are most concentrated, and it has begun to cover the main site." As soon as the major weatherman finished speaking, everyone in the tower felt several lightning flashes suddenly in front of their eyes.
There was a white light, and a few seconds later, there was a thunderous sound like a heavy hammer and a drum in the ears, and everyone's heart trembled violently.
There's no need to look at a weather map, just look outside.
It had only been a few minutes, and the sky above the station was already mostly covered by dark clouds. There was constant lightning in the clouds, and the thunder rumbled like a heavy train passing by in the sky. It was rolling thunder. Another one was as strong as a flashlight.
A flash of lightning is like thunder that makes people's hearts tremble.
Zhang Xueyang drove the Su-27 two-seater worth billions to the ground safely. The raised speed brake made the Su-27, which is full of power, look like a boxer ready to attack at any time. The background of the fighter plane
It was dark clouds and lightning, just like a warrior who had fought for a long time and returned safely before enemy reinforcements arrived. The propaganda officer squatting on the tower raised his SLR and took a look at a dozen photos, smiling to himself with satisfaction.
Grinning.
Fighter No. 037 is still swaying in the wind and rain.
After a J-7 and a J-7e that had landed previously returned to the parking bay, Chen Fei looked up at the sky with his helmet under his arm, and asked Nie Jianfeng who ran over, "Is Li Zhan on duty? This guy is not lucky.
when."
"It's him." Nie Jianfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Two channels were used for combat readiness duty and training, so they could not hear the conversation between Li Zhan and the tower. After landing, they immediately asked the mechanic about the situation. At this time, they saw Zhang Xueyang landing calmly, followed by a heavy rain.
"What can we do?" The other person is Tang Leile, who followed Chen Fei to practice aerial target today. When he was in the sky, he saw the large black clouds rushing towards him at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he could think of it
It was a very scary night with thunder, lightning, storm and rain in a European castle.
"Always prepare for landing. Even the gods can't descend in this kind of weather. Look at the lightning. Remember, this is a restricted flight zone." Chen Fei said, pointing to the lightning raging above the station and the rain falling angrily.
Nie Jianfeng frowned, "We can only prepare to land in western Guangdong, but we can't fly to eastern Guangdong."
He made a decision at once, "I'll go to the tower to take a look."
"I'll go with you." Chen Fei said immediately, then pointed at Tang Leile, "You go back, summarize today's training, and experience the movements more."
"I am!"
The commuter bus came over and took Nie Jianfeng and Chen Fei away first. Tang Leile stood there waiting for the second one. He looked at the J-7 which could only be nestled in the semi-enclosed hangar, and then looked at the Su-27 over there at the Sixth Regiment.
The mood of the dedicated permanent machine castle is also very complicated.
Li Zhan in the sky was not surprised at all. Even because of his location, he discovered the sudden change in the weather earlier than Zhang Xueyang and others. What's more, as a native, he may know the summer weather in Xi County better than anyone else.
temperament.
"Dong Sanguai, there is no condition in this field. Implement the backup plan, do you understand?" Fang Chenghe personally gave the order to Li Zhan.
This was just after the loud thunder.
It was at this time that Li Zhan flew past the western edge of the clouds above the station, just enough to be seen by the tower.
"Dong Sanguai received, implement the backup plan." Li Zhan replied decisively. He would not act as a hero, nor wanted to, let alone cannot act as a hero. Life is important, and fighter planes are equally important.
However, Yu Chenglin, who had been observing Fighter No. 037 through a gap in the clouds with a telescope, discovered an unusual trace of fire when the fighter jet flashed through the gap!
"His engine seems to be on fire!" Yu Chenglin suddenly said.
This sentence made everyone's hearts jump into their throats. They subconsciously looked outside in shock, but they couldn't see the No. 037 fighter at all.
Fang Chenghe was startled and without hesitation at all, he immediately called Li Zhan, "Dong Sanguai, report the status. Is everything normal? What's going on with the engine?"
During the thunderstorm, the electromagnetic interference became more serious. With the sound of "buzz", Li Zhan quickly checked the status of each system and replied, "Everything is normal, the engine is normal, no problem. Start executing the backup plan."
All data is normal.
Fang Chenghe breathed a sigh of relief, "Pay attention and report in time."
"clear!"
Lin Haodong smiled silently and whispered to Cheng Lin, "Lao Yu, you are too nervous."
Yu Chenglin frowned and said nothing, still looking at the sky to the west.
Thick dark clouds completely covered the sky above the station, and a natural phenomenon of day and night appeared.
