Great Power Fighting Falcon

The small oil depot at Beiku Station does not belong to Zheng Kaiyun personally, but is a combat-ready aviation oil that was formed in the past period of time and does not exist in the establishment. It is a convention and is used for emergencies.

For example, the aviation oil from the rear cannot be transported in time, and the oil in the combat readiness oil depot is used up, but the fighter planes cannot lie down. At this time, the small oil depot can come in handy.

Basically every tactical unit of the army will have a combat readiness fund, which has a similar function. When the logistics support cannot keep up, the army can use this money to purchase on-site to solve the logistics support problem.

All in all, it's all about a better job, not money for some people.

Xue Xiangdong reminded Zheng Kaiyun to clean up the small oil depot as soon as possible, which was a concrete change in the general environment. This means that the higher-ups have begun to try to make some fine-tuning of the logistics support system, gain some experience first, and then carry out large-scale implementation.

On April 1st, the day when local schools started school, Beikuchang Station began a week of live-fire shooting training, including air targets and ground targets. Li Zhan had to conduct ground target shooting training combined with low-altitude penetration alone. He had to fly Come up with a set of operating standards, and then use this as a basis to promote training in the Mad Demon Brigade.

In early spring, Beikou was warm and cold at first, the sky was gray, and the visibility was not very good, but it was much better than the previous battle trainings in which the weather was the lowest.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Zhan put on his flight helmet and came to the tarmac. His crew chief Miao Yu was organizing the crew to install multiple rocket launchers on his beloved No. 037 J-7E fighter jet.

"Captain." Miao Yu saluted and said hello.

Li Zhan pointed to the pylon under the wing and said, "Do it better so that it doesn't get out."

"Captain, don't worry, it will be absolutely fine." Miao Yu assured with her chest raised.

Li Zhan nodded slightly, looked at 037, and said with emotion, "This aircraft is my brother-in-law. We have gone through a lot of things together, and he just carried it through. Did you notice that the vertical tail engine and ailerons, almost the rear part are all It’s been replaced.”

"I see, the engine is very new, and the model is not the one used by the J-7B model. You can tell by the sound, it is much better than the one used by the J-7B model," Miao Yu said.

The legend of No. 037 Fighter has long been spread throughout the entire regiment. Everyone knows that this fighter has experienced so many dangers in just a few months, such as the cockpit losing power, the landing gear getting stuck in the engine compartment, and catching fire, etc. All are world-wide special dangers.

It just happened to be carried over.

On the contrary, the No. 101 J-8FR, which had been in service for half a year, fell apart and was directly removed from the establishment. Sometimes this kind of thing is really unclear. All in all, the one who can survive to the end has a good chance.

Li Zhan just stood there and watched the maintenance crew busy.

Hanging bombs is the most serious job. Every step must be carried out strictly and the process must be strictly followed. No movement can be wrong. Two pylons on each wing of the left and right wings are equipped with multiple rocket launchers, which use 7-tube 90 mm caliber rockets. The four launchers are loaded with a total of 28 rockets. If two more Thunderbolt combat missiles are mounted, it will be considered armed to the teeth. This rocket is mainly used for ground-to-sea attacks. There is also a 57mm caliber version, which is mainly used for air-to-air attacks. It is not strange to use rockets to attack aircraft. The heavy-duty pylon under the belly of the aircraft hangs an auxiliary fuel tank. This is the norm for short-legged sevens, even though the E-type has undergone extended-range improvements.

Miao Yu held the fuse starter in her hand and reported to Li Zhan, "Report to the captain, the ammunition is loaded, please check!"

Li Zhan took the checklist handed over by Miao Yu and carefully checked the status of the fighter plane, especially the rocket launchers under the wing pylons. After confirming that it was correct, he signed, and Miao Yu randomly and carefully opened the fuses of the rockets one by one.

First hang the launcher, then stuff the rockets inside. After that, activate the fuses of the rockets one by one, so that all the mounting work is completed. If the fuse is not activated, the rocket will be like an iron lump. Just like a gun, it has a safety switch. Only when the switch is turned on can the fuse work normally.

Li Zhan once again checked the status of the rockets one by one, confirmed that they were correct, and boarded the plane.

When he asked to slide out, four J-7Bs from the Second Group took off one after another to start their live-fire training. The twenty-four J-7Es transferred from the Second Division were assigned to eighteen of the Kuangma Brigade, and the other six were given to the Third Brigade, replacing their six J-6 Pluses. On the contrary, the Second Brigade still needs to continue to use the J-7B type.

Xue Xiangdong commanded from the tower, and all other regiment leaders had to participate in live-fire training. Except for Li Zhan in the Mad Demon Brigade, who wanted to engage in live-fire shooting combined with low-altitude penetration, everyone else in the Kuangmo Brigade conducted ordinary live-fire shooting training like the Second Brigade.

The entire live-fire training plan was completed within a week, and it was fully arranged. It was also the largest and most important military operation since the 101st Regiment started training this year.

"There are three turns in the cave. Once checked, you can take off." Xue Xiangdong gave Li Zhan the order.

Li Zhan had already slid to the take-off position, checked each system of the fighter plane again, and replied, "Dong Sanguai inspection is completed, request to take off."

"You can take off with three turns in the cave." Xue Xiangdong ordered.

Li Zhan pushed the accelerator lever all the way and stepped on the brakes. The engine speed climbed rapidly and the fuselage trembled violently. Then he decisively released the brakes. The fighter plane became faster and faster, and the roaring sound resounded throughout the field. Lifting the front wheel, pulling it up, the rear landing gear lifted off the ground. Li Zhan then retracted the landing gear, and the fighter roared and climbed up a small slope.

Driving back the familiar J-7E feels completely different. Li Zhan can clearly appreciate the difference between the E-type and the B-type. First of all, there is a big difference in power. The E-type is more powerful and gives people more confidence. Secondly, The E type uses a double delta wing aerodynamic layout. Although it only has one more fold line than the delta wing aerodynamic layout, it can obtain more lift at the same speed and shorten the rolling distance a lot. Finally, the smoothness of control is more obvious.

In fact, the J-7G type equipped by the 300th Division is better to drive. Unfortunately, even the second-hand ones did not reach the 73rd Division, but were handed over to a certain division of Jikong.

The shooting range is located deep in the desert on the southeast side of the Beiku Mountains. The station has already sent a platoon of troops to set up the shooting range and provide security at the specified location. In fact, that area was a no-man's land. It had always been an area where the troops fired live ammunition. There was not even an animal.

Li Zhan wanted to break through to the southwest along the Beiku Mountains, and then turn southeast within the detection range of the No. 27 radar station and attack the shooting range. The standard he set was to compress the exposure time based on the last time and not give the No. 27 radar station a chance to lock on.

Radar Station No. 27 was ready early in the morning. Technical staff officer Qu Hongbo and several others worked under tremendous pressure for more than a month, running for surface-to-air missile units, running for various sub-stations, and running on actual terrain. They tried every means to improve the detection rate and shorten the time to lock the target. Time is waiting for today.

If they want to avenge their humiliation, they must discover Li Zhan and complete the locking attack procedure, and they must complete it before Li Zhan shoots, otherwise it will not make much sense.

This is very difficult for Radar Station No. 27. They have already experienced Li Zhan's ability to penetrate defenses at low altitudes. The last time we flew the J-7B model, now we are flying the J-7E model, which has better low-altitude and low-speed performance and better instantaneous hovering capabilities. This undoubtedly adds to the difficulty of Radar Station No. 27.

Because this means that Li Zhan can fly at a lower altitude.

Li Zhan did not go up to a high altitude, but directly entered the Beiku Mountains at a low altitude. From the moment he entered the mountain, he was invisible to the radar on the Beiku side. Li Zhan could only judge his specific location through landmarks according to time points.

Last time, Li Zhan could be seen at Radar Station No. 27, but now he couldn't see anything at all. He didn't even know when Li Zhan took off. This is another detail that is close to actual combat. Li Zhan repeatedly warned Xue Xiangdong not to reveal takeoff information to the No. 27 radar station.

Even the basic reference was gone. Qu Hongbo and others could only stare and search. All the radars were turned on, but they could not find any suspicious targets.

Over the past period of time, Radar Station No. 27 has been under tremendous pressure. The famous Western Basic Warning Radar Station is actually unable to detect the target. So is it necessary for this basic warning radar station to exist? Is it still the backbone station of the National Defense Air Defense Early Warning Network?

The superior leadership agency issued a fatal order and must solve the problem of detection blank area. There is no doubt that Li Zhan's sudden attack last time turned the Beiku Mountains into a blank area for radar station No. 27 to detect. For a long time in the past, the question of whether this blank area existed has triggered the thinking of higher-level leadership agencies. Leaders will draw inferences and think about whether other radar stations also have such fatal detection blank areas.

Such a low-altitude penetration by the 101st Regiment was like a little boy who bravely said that the emperor had no clothes, bringing out a fact that was difficult for everyone to accept. The impact on the entire military radar force will definitely last for a long time and will be profound.

Integrated air defense, aviation units and ground air defense units are both important components of the homeland air defense system. They both belong to the air force combat system, and one move can affect the whole body. From this perspective, the "228" subject will not only affect the training methods of aviation units, but will also prompt other units to reflect on whether the current training methods still meet the requirements of the military struggle environment in the new era and whether they are consistent with actual training. requirements.

Specifically speaking about Radar Station No. 27, didn't Qu Hongbo and others come up with any means to deal with low-altitude penetration?

The radar man who once used old-fashioned meter-wave radar to detect the F-117, known as the stealth killer, did not do it for free. Radar Station No. 27, which possesses world-leading radar equipment, has come up with several countermeasures.

Qu Hongbo immediately asked Wang Dongyang, the deputy station chief, to apply for the dispatch of a mobile radar unit. After a few orders, several mobile radar vehicles that had been waiting for a long time in the Beikushan Mountain area quickly entered the predetermined position and turned on the radar almost simultaneously, covering areas that the fixed radar station could not detect.

Using mobile radar to fill blind spots is nothing new.

Just waiting for Li Zhan to get in.
