In the meteorological observatory on one side of the parallel highway, several staff officers were busy.
The Meteorological Observatory is a relatively special grass-roots unit, classified as a support and support department. There are several deputy regiment and regiment-level technical staff members in a battalion-level unit, and their military ranks make people mistakenly think that they are entering a regiment organization.
Li Zhan saw that the eyes were full of school officers. There was actually a senior colonel with some gray hair. The seniority stamp on his chest clearly indicated that he was a master. He couldn't put down his saluting hand. He originally thought that the rank of Zhang Yuan, who was stationed at the tower, was already relatively high.
It's high, but now I see that Zhang Yuan's rank of Major is quite ordinary in the weather station.
A colonel, a regimental-level technical staff officer, and a division-level technical cadre bumped heads, studied satellite cloud images, and talked in low voices.
Zhang Yuan saw Li Zhan, walked over, pulled Li Zhan aside, and whispered, "After the shift handover meeting last night, Deputy Captain Yu should have explained the tasks to you, right?"
"Yes, I have been told, and I have been ordered to follow your command in the next few days." Li Zhan replied.
Zhang Yuan glanced at his busy comrades and said, "Don't worry until Chief Engineer Li Fengxiang and others come up with a specific plan."
"That leader is Chief Engineer Li Fengxiang?" Li Zhan asked curiously.
The Grand Coroner is the absolute leader. Qi Hong and Fang Chenghe are still deputy colonels and will not be promoted to the Grand Coroner until at least the end of the year.
Zhang Yuan said, "Yes, he is the chief engineer of the Military Region Meteorological Center and is stationed at the West County Station. In our area, there is not only the Second Division, but also a division of Hainan Airlines. Meteorological support is very important."
No wonder the salary level is so high, he turned out to be chief engineer.
Technical cadres do not have administrative positions, and chief engineer is more of a technical title than a position.
The level of the Military Region Meteorological Center is not high, it is at the regimental level. The meteorological station of the Second Division and the meteorological department of the division are at the same level, both at the battalion level. These are all administrative levels, so the chief administrative officer should be equipped with battalion-level cadres. But these
Departments that focus on technology usually have a lot of high-level cadres in their establishments. Anyone picked out at random will be a cadre at the level of regimental commander and battalion commander.
Li Zhan lowered his voice and said, "Commander Zhang, the regiment ordered our squadron to follow your command. I wonder if you have communicated with Section Chief Zhang Wei of the Reconnaissance Section. Our squadron's operations are directly under the guidance of the Reconnaissance Section."
"Oh? I really don't know about this." Zhang Yuan was surprised.
Isn't it strange that he didn't know that, not many people in the Second Division knew about it. Military electronic technology, including electronic countermeasures, electronic reconnaissance, etc., has always been a top priority among confidential projects. Its importance has surpassed that of the radar unit.
, so the level of confidentiality has always been the highest in the military.
Except for the Su-27, other aircraft do not have aircraft forts, but the J-8fr does, and there are special sentries. Not to mention others, even those in the same department, including Li Zhan, are absolutely not allowed to get close without Zhang Wei's direct approval.
These pilots.
After they landed, the fighter plane slid directly into the aircraft fortress. The special maintenance team led by Lou Yiwang immediately provided protection, and the entire process was supervised by confidentiality officers.
"I'm going to make a call." Zhang Yuan went immediately, picked up the internal line and called Zhang Wei, and the communication was completed quickly.
When Zhang Yuan came back, Chief Engineer Li Fengxiang was waving. Zhang Yuan winked at Li Zhan, went over together, and stood facing the satellite cloud map.
"Mr. Li, this is Comrade Li Zhan, the squadron leader of the Nighthawk Squadron. He is in charge of the two J-8s of our division." Zhang Wei introduced to Li Fengxiang.
Li Zhan stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, chief! Li Zhan has been ordered to report here!"
"Okay." Li Fengxiang raised his hand to salute. The military salute was as non-standard as it was a technical cadre. Pointing to the satellite cloud image, Chief Engineer Li Fengxiang said, "Look, this is the National Day of the National Day this year.
Typhoon Ma Li has formed a huge wind ball in the western part of the South China Sea."
He rubbed his eyes and said, "In previous years, and the several typhoons that landed in this region before this year, they usually formed completely in the western part of the South China Sea, with winds reaching their highest point. After landing, they would continue to weaken into tropical storms, and eventually they would head to the mountainous areas of Guizhou Province.
It was completely canceled out on the way.”
"According to the analysis of satellite cloud images, Ma Li is coming fiercely. The current maximum wind force has reached level 14, and it is very likely to strengthen to level 16 or even higher before landing. We have analyzed the path and it is very likely that Ma Li will reach 14 levels in the delta of Guangdong Province.
Landing on Qiongdao's first line of sea."
This "Ma Li" can be said to be super powerful.
Having said this, Chief Engineer Li Fengxiang stopped talking.
Zhang Yuan understood and took over the conversation and said, "In the second half of the year, the flood and typhoon fighting situation across the country is relatively serious. Not only are we facing the threat of super typhoons, Yunnan and Guizhou are also under great pressure for flood control. These two provinces
All the garrison troops have been put on high alert and are ready to carry out flood fighting and disaster relief operations."
He first introduced some general background information, and then talked about the specific tasks that the Second Division was responsible for. He said, "If Ma Li lands from our side, it is very likely that she will encounter the southward cold air over Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
By then, there will be widespread continuous rainfall, which will greatly increase the pressure on flood control and flood control in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. However, Ma Li is still in the middle of the South China Sea and is moving towards this line at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour. Full calculation,
We only have forty hours to prepare for Taiwan."
Seeing Zhang Yuan stop, Li Zhan, who was frowning, suddenly understood. His brows jumped and he said, "Want to detect typhoon weather?"
"Of course that's impossible, you can't get close at all." Zhang Yuan shook his head and said in a serious tone, "We can only defend passively. We can't change Ma Li's movement path, and we have no ability to weaken her. What we are most worried about now is Ma Li and Nan Xi.
Cold air encounter. We urgently need relevant data on the cold air heading south. At the same time, according to the requirements of the Military Meteorological Center, we need to provide real-time aerial pictures of the main rivers in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to provide accurate intelligence for local flood fighting and rescue work."
Li Zhan understood that things were complicated, but what he wanted to do was simple.
Gui Province itself is one of the bases of the Second Division, so it is unshirkable to send out reconnaissance and aerial photography. The air force garrison in Yun Province is probably too busy. They should also be equipped with reconnaissance aircraft. Even if not, it is not difficult to conduct aerial photography.
In fact, the biggest danger Li Zhan faces is that he needs to fly in mountainous areas with complex climate and changeable weather, and he needs to conduct aerial photography flights at medium and low altitudes or even low altitudes.
Without any hesitation, Li Zhan stood at attention and saluted, "Please give the order, commander! Nighthawk Squadron will resolutely complete the mission!"
"The order still comes from the division, and you don't need a squadron. You only need one plane to transfer to Guangxi Province. Here I am specifically responsible for contacting the Longcheng Station in Guangxi Province and analyzing the data you obtained as quickly as possible.
Analysis." Zhang Yuan said decisively, obviously their meteorological station has a very specific plan.
This was an operation coordinated by the technical leadership of the meteorological department and the flight department, and Li Zhan understood what role he would play next.
"Hurry up and modify the aircraft." Li Fengxiang said.
Everyone loaded up the relevant equipment and boarded the commuter bus, and went directly to the No. 101 fighter jet's bunker with Li Zhan. Zhang Wei and two security officers were already waiting there.
Before entering the aircraft fort, Li Zhan raised his head and glanced at the sky to the south. It was a clear blue sky with no clouds. There was no sign of rain about to come, and the wind filled the building.
Coincidentally, two J-7e aircraft were landing. The double-delta-wing aircraft, which had a landing speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, slid for more than 700 meters before slowing down and leaving the runway.
Hey, Deputy Captain Yu really kept his word. If he said he wanted to increase flight time, he increased flight time, even taking advantage of the window time before the typhoon.
