At 15:30 in the afternoon, just three days after Li Zhan transferred to Longcheng Airport, an urgent order came down from the flood control headquarters, and orders from the division headquarters to the aviation department and the military region also arrived at the same time.
Order: The Air Force will carry out bombing and flood discharge on Lake No. 1, which will be completed before 0:00 on the 27th.
Lake No. 1 is a lake formed by three rivers rushing down from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau of more than 1,000 meters. It is also the main location where flood peaks are formed. The plan proposed by Li Zhan is to carry out precise bombing of the mountain on the south side and blast a hole to reach the south.
The purpose of diversion.
When the order came, Li Fengxiang and others were still looking for a time window to fly. The flood control headquarters no longer waited for their opinions and directly issued the order, indicating that the situation was extremely critical.
Li Zhan rushed into the tower with a flying helmet. Everyone looked at him and were waiting for him. Contrary to the previous anxious and busy state, he decided on the plan and didn't have so many worries. If there are conditions, he will go up, and if there are no conditions, he will go.
superior.
To Li Zhan's surprise, Fang Chenghe was also there.
Such a lineup and such a battle made Li Zhan's heart pound. Is it because he didn't wash his face or was he late? No, he always pays attention to personal hygiene. If he has to sacrifice, he must do it in the most handsome way. Being late does not exist.
Yes, he arrived here within a minute after receiving the notice, which was not unpleasant at all.
The atmosphere was a bit solemn, which Li Zhan didn't like very much.
When he subconsciously touched the tip of his nose, Fang Chenghe came over and looked at Li Zhan, "The situation is urgent and the time window is very short. You only have one chance to take action. The specific plan has been made and we are waiting for you now. You first
Look, we still have time to make adjustments before the time window appears."
Li Zhan understood that everyone was trying hard to remember what they looked like.
"Political Commissar, I am absolutely confident that we will win." Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "Please give me an order."
Fang Chenghe smiled slightly, but his eyes sparkled, and he said, "Okay, Li Zhan, I order you to blow up the mountain on the north side of Hubei No. 1 at all costs. I will wait for your return at the tower."
at all costs.
"Yes! Resolutely complete the mission!" Li Zhan stood at attention and saluted, turned around and ran away resolutely.
Li Zhan walked away for a long time. Everyone was still looking at the empty door, and the grief in their hearts had already poured out.
When everyone stood up and waited quietly for Li Zhan's arrival, there was no need to say anything more. If someone needed to sacrifice, only Li Zhan was suitable. Thousands of ordinary people were threatened by the flood, and only soldiers
Life is of no consequence.
On the tarmac, J-8FR No. 101 mounted three 500-kilogram laser-guided munitions and four groups of eight 250-kilogram aerial bombs, infinitely approaching the maximum load capacity of the aircraft.
Lou Yiwang held the folder in his hand and saluted Li Zhan. After Li Zhan returned the salute, Lou Yiwang walked over and said in a deep voice, "All systems of the fighter plane have been checked, and the ammunition has been checked. Captain, we are waiting here.
Waiting for your return."
The rest of the maintenance team lined up neatly, with oil stains still remaining on their bodies. There is no doubt that after receiving the order, they have exhausted all they have learned and completed the most meticulous work to protect the fighter aircraft. They can only do this,
Then they lined up to watch Li Zhan leave.
Li Zhan solemnly signed his name. When signing, his hands were very steady, but he muttered in his heart that this battle might be a way to strengthen himself. I have encountered so many dangers, which one was not more dangerous than this one?
It still landed safely. Besides, it’s hard to make enough on the rod fee, so it’s not that easy to sacrifice.
Of course, he would not say such words that would damage the current tragic atmosphere, he could only keep them in his mind for a while.
Li Zhan saluted Lou Yiwang, climbed up the boarding ladder to the cockpit, and with the help of Lou Yiwang, connected the interface of the flight helmet. Then he quickly checked the various systems of the J-8fr that was already driving and found that everything was normal.
"Loudan, please hurry up and rest. You have to protect the fighter planes immediately after returning. The work intensity is very high." Li Zhan said with a smile.
Lou Yiwang couldn't hold back his tears. The tears came down as if they were empty. He smiled and said resolutely, "Okay! I promise you, I will never hold you back!"
Li Zhan skidded out of the tarmac and plunged into the heavy rain. He drove to the take-off position and stopped. Next, he had to wait here until the take-off order was given.
In the tower, Yu Chenglin walked up to Fang Chenghe and asked in a low voice, "Political Commissar, there is still a chance to replace him."
"You still want to replace him?" Fang Chenghe frowned.
Yu Chenglin said, "I have more experience in precision ground attacks than he does."
"Your experience is only in training." Fang Chenghe said in a deep voice.
Yu Chenglin didn't understand it for a while, but when he understood it, he looked shocked.
However, Fang Chenghe did not mean to explain at all, but followed the conversation and said, "Do you think there will be flying geniuses? Others fly ten take-offs and landings to fly solo, and flying geniuses fly one take-off and landing to fly solo. Is there such a thing?"
"I, I believe there will be, Li Zhan is one of them." Yu Chenglin replied.
Fang Chenghe said without doubt, "Since the superiors decided to send Li Zhan to carry out this task instead of you, they have given full consideration. The first priority at the moment is to help the local government solve the threat of the new flood peak, and other things will not be considered.
"
"Yes, I understand." Yu Chenglin stopped mentioning this topic.
At least everyone knows that Li Zhan ranked first in the division in the last ground target assessment. For this reason, no one has any reason not to let him go, and no one has the confidence to compete with him. They are competing to do the most dangerous things.
Maybe it only exists in the army.
"Political commissar! The window has appeared!" Zhang Yuan suddenly stood up and shouted.
Everyone was given a cardiotonic drug, their eyes gleamed, and all the nerves in their bodies were tense, and they entered the highest state of preparation within 0.5 seconds.
Fang Chenghe immediately looked up and saw that the heavy rain had weakened a lot in an instant, and the wind measurement data also dropped sharply. Most of the data turned green in a very short period of time.
At the take-off position, Li Zhan in the cockpit first heard the sound of raindrops hitting the canopy suddenly became much quieter, and then found that the visibility suddenly improved a lot. It was blurry at first, as if the lenses were covered with fog, but now it is very clear.
Clear, with just some clearly visible drizzle lines.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky, and found that the clouds in the sky were splitting, and the gaps were very bright, and the long-lost sunlight was shining down, even though it was only the dull sunset light.
If nothing else goes wrong, the tower will give the takeoff order soon.
Fang Chenghe decisively issued the order, "Yao Dong Yao, the tower is calling, I order you to take off urgently!"
"Yao Dong Yao received."
As if he saw hundreds of thousands of lever fees in the sky, Li Zhan was so energetic that he opened the afterburner throttle lever to the end and didn't release it until the brakes were about to stop. The fully loaded J-8fr looked like
It was like a heavy truck that accelerated to 100 kilometers in 5.4 seconds. It was gliding just over 300 meters. Li Zhan pulled the lever and raised the nose of the aircraft. The J-8fr actually flew for hundreds of meters at a height of about a few meters above the ground, and then it looked like
Like a slow-reacting athlete, his speed suddenly surged. Li Zhan pulled the lever again, and the J-8fr took off, diagonally upwards at a forty-five-degree angle toward the place where the clouds split...
"Yao Dong Yao, I wish everything goes well, we are all waiting for you to return, over!"
