The originally scheduled five-day exchange activity was extended to fifteen days and it did not end until February 15. On that day, the military exchange team went directly to the Beiku war training base, and Li Zhan returned to the old army.
At the commendation meeting, the Air Force awarded the first-class merit to Li Zhan, who performed outstandingly, and Chen Fei, Han Hongjun and Li Zixin, respectively, and the rest were rewarded.
Generally speaking, if you are responsible for foreign exchange activities, especially when you are collaborating with friendly forces, you will usually remember your merits. After going out, you represent the image of our army. You must show the style of a mighty and civilized army, which means you can undertake such tasks.
They are all carefully selected personnel.
But it is not that simple to remember first-class merit.
When Nie Jianfeng was entertaining his old comrades, he asked Li Zhan with a smile, "Why do you remember the first-class merit for you? Is it because you are more handsome than Chen Fei?"
Chen Fei was visiting Nie Jianfeng's office with interest, and turned around and said, "That's not the case. If I look at it, I must have a special level of merit. What is the first-class merit?"
"You are also shameless." Nie Jianfeng pointed at Chen Fei and cursed with a smile, "I went to HNA to have a temper, and it looks a little different. Otherwise, was it because I went out for a conversation and felt that my value had increased a lot?"
Chen Fei said tit-for-tat, "Old Nie, don't squeeze me, look at your life, the office of the deputy team leader is bigger than that of our division commander."
"There is nothing else in Beiku, but the place is big. I will take you around in the afternoon and let you see what it means to have a wide area and sparse population." Nie Jianfeng laughed and said, "I don't mean to squeeze you. You are the team leader. I
It's just a team leader and a high-level deputy team."
When Li Zhan got out of the army to the Second Division, Nie Jianfeng was the squadron leader Chen Fei and the squadron leader. Later, Chen Fei made faster progress and finally completed the deputy regiment in three or two years. Nie Jianfeng took steady steps and took the lead.
As a cadre of the League, he replaced Li Zhan as the captain of the Eagle Falcon Brigade.
Chen Fei came over and sat down, took the tea handed over by Nie Jianfeng, and said, "Forget it, your team leader is in charge of more planes than our group. Besides, I don't have any position now, just a
A regiment-level pilot.”
The Eagle Falcon Brigade has organized twenty-eight fighter jets, twenty-four latest J-11bs and four J-8fr tactical reconnaissance aircraft. It is really more aircraft than a flight regiment.
"What's going on?" Nie Jianfeng asked.
Chen Fei waved his hand and said, "Not to talk about this for now."
Everyone looked at Li Zhan sitting there in a daze. Chen Fei pointed at Li Zhan and said to Nie Jianfeng, "If you ask him what happened to his first-class merit, you probably won't guess even if you beat him to death."
Nie Jianfeng sat down next to Li Zhan and joked, "It's not that you learned how to drive the F-16 and figured out the weaknesses of this plane, so the superiors remembered you a first-class merit given your outstanding performance?"
"Yeah? You will answer quickly." Li Zhan came to his senses and said in surprise.
Nie Jianfeng was even more surprised. After a long time, he blurted out, "Damn, really?"
Chen Fei couldn't help laughing and said, "It's true. Do you think this kid is a monster? Three days, he shot down a colonel teacher from a friendly army in just three days. We all learned, but we just learned a little.
Fur, barely able to fly solo, he..."
He no longer knows how to describe Li Zhan.
The colonel instructor of a friendly army took Li Zhanfei for two days, and on the third day, Li Zhan flew alone for half a day. In the afternoon's free air battle, Li Zhan drove f-16c/d to "shoot down" the colonel instructor of a friendly army who also drove f-16c/d.
It caused a sensation in the entire Stat Air Force Base. The old colonel said that the one who shot down two enemy planes was a ruthless man who had seriously defeated his opponent!
Then Li Zhan got his eighth first-class merit.
Li Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was just recalling the feeling of driving the F-16, and I found that I liked the side rod. Because there was no need to leave a lot of putting stroke, the seat reclining angle was very large
, Flying a plane half-lying can withstand greater overload. This is very meaningful in actual combat. However, the disadvantages are also obvious and cannot be controlled alternately..."
"Stop, Lao Li, you have been thinking about it for several days. Can you take a break? I'll be tired if you are not tired, and I'll be tired." Chen Fei said quickly.
Nie Jianfeng also said, "Yes, you should talk about the specific situation of the J-11 pair joining the F-16. Have you discovered any fatal flaws in the F-16?"
Before Li Zhan could speak, Chen Fei quickly said, "Old Nie, you can wait for the information sent by your superiors for this matter."
Nie Jianfeng nodded in a clear way.
Li Zhan said, "If one day the F-16 is faced with it, the best way is to break them a large number of missiles at medium and long distances. Relying on the excellent acceleration performance of J-11, always maintain a distance, try not to get close.
Distance fighting.”
"You are talking about it," Nie Jianfeng was stunned. "You can fight if you can shoot down the enemy fool at medium and long distances."
After spreading his hands, Li Zhan said, "That's right, the people who drive F-16 think so too."
Nie Jianfeng looked at Li Zhan with a smile on his lips and slowly began to think about it. He should have understood what Li Zhan meant.
Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "Speaking of this, I prefer to have the opportunity to fight with Phantom-2000, and that plane is probably not easy to deal with."
"There should be a chance," said Chen Fei. "We had military exchanges with France many years ago, and we had the opportunity to get in touch with them."
The three of them talked about such topics for a long time.
Middle and lower-level cadres do not have many concerns, dare to boldly imagine and analyze, and talk about everything. Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. The more thoroughly the enemy, the more you can achieve victory in the future.
Finally, Nie Jianfeng asked, "Old Li, how long will it take for J-16 test flight? What are you planning for the competition soon? The brigade commander also talked about this a few days ago. He hopes that you can come back to represent the brigade to participate."
Li Zhan said, "I received the official notice and Chen Fei was responsible for the second half of the test flight. I quit."
Chen Fei said, "Yes, the second half is basically aside according to the previous interview flight project, mainly the difference in combat areas. Lao Li took the road out, and we copied it."
"Then I won't leave when I come back this time, right?" Nie Jianfeng was excited.
Li Zhan said dejectedly, "I don't know, I'm an idle man and wild crane again. My superiors neither informed me of returning home nor assigned new tasks. Alas, as the saying goes, the plan for the year lies in spring, and the big ones in the New Year will only be fought for three days.
If you fly fish for two days, it seems that the flight hours this year will see a large drop in the proportion.”
"You have this little chance." Nie Jianfeng said angrily, "Since you are back, you are Guijian. I will ask the brigade commander to ask you to resume training and prepare for the March competition."
After many adjustments, it was finally confirmed that the competition held in March was the Air Force Free Air War Competition, which eliminated the remaining elements and became a competition of single combat professionals. It can be seen that the superior leadership organs made a decision after careful consideration. Instead of doing so,
It is better to stew the soup specifically for "free air battle".
Nie Jianfeng suddenly said seriously, "Old Li, according to your opinion, is it possible for J-16 to be equipped with our Eagle Falcon?"
If it were a few months ago, Li Zhan was very sure, but after the actual test flight, he was a little uncertain and frowned and said, "Half and half, mainly because there are still many places that need to be improved in J-16, mass production
It’s hard to predict the day of the model. Of course, Beiku definitely needs dual-engine long-range fighter jets very much."
He determined the development ideas of the Eagle Falcon Brigade in the next five years and was recognized and approved by his superiors. The Eagle Falcon Brigade's most outstanding ability is ground attacks, and its combat effectiveness even conceals their air combat capabilities. The work must be done
First, sharpening the weapon and obtaining a fighter jet specializing in long-range ground strikes is the top priority for the Hawks Brigade in the next five years.
The strength of the J-11b is that it is long-range air control, and it is a bit difficult to do the work against the ground. The J-10b, which has enhanced its ground attack capabilities and the J-10c, which is said to be about to be tested soon, are not suitable for the region because of its innate short legs.
In the vast Beiku District, the troops here often have to fly to the eastern coast in one breath to join the battle. No matter the J-10b or the J-10c, they cannot do this.
In fact, from this point of view, the J-11 has an overwhelming advantage over the F-16 - one inch long and one inch stronger, I can go to a place you can't reach to fight.
As he was talking, the telephone at the desk rang, and Nie Jianfeng hurriedly went to answer.
"Brig Commander, Li Zhan is here with me, yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Nie Jianfeng said, "Old Li, the brigade commander asked you to go there, he is in the office."
Li Zhan stood up and walked out.
In the brigade commander's office, Fang Chenghe and Tang Guo were talking. The old leaders and subordinates gathered were naturally indispensable for the troops. As they were chatting, they naturally talked about Li Zhan, who closely linked the Second Division and the 101st Brigade.
Tang Guozheng said regretfully, "The thing that Commander Qi regrets the most is to transfer Li Zhan away. No one could have imagined that Li Zhan could burst out with such ability. Many senior pilots with practical experience in friendly forces praised him.
I am not reluctant to praise him and firmly believe that he has fought many tough battles."
"That kid is extremely talented." Fang Chenghe said with a smile, and then sighed, "Teacher Qi took the initiative to transfer him away, but now I am watching others transfer him away, so I feel even more uncomfortable."
Tang Guozheng said, "At least there are several months of buffering time. In fact, we all know that he can't stay for long, whether in the Second Division or the 101st Brigade. The HNA Flying Shark Training Gathered the elite of the entire aviation unit and the head
The pilots were all together, and people like Li Zhan would definitely not be absent, and their superiors would not let him be absent."
"You are right, we still need to have a perspective on the overall situation." Fang Chenghe nodded slowly.
Li Zhan arrived and shouted a report at the door.
Fang Chenghe asked him to come in and said bluntly, "Accepting the order from the superior, you will immediately go to Hulu Station to report. Starting today, you will be officially transferred to the 404th Air Force of HNA!"
Li Zhan's heart was trembling and subconsciously stood attentively saluted, "Yes!"
Finally, he realized and asked, "Brig Commander, what about the big competition?"
"If you don't participate, let others have a chance to play. Go and clean up, go to the airport and fly to Chuanzhong immediately and take the No. 037 J-7egg, which has been improved, over there!"
"yes!"
