Chapter 252 The First Success of the Reconnaissance Training Operation
"Captain, let's see how it goes. It's mixed with luminous paint and the visual effect is good at night."
Miao Yu pointed to "Good Luck Comes" and introduced it to Li Zhan as if taking credit, "Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes Good Luck Comes" I have reserved a place for first-class merit. Don’t you still have a first-class merit at the end of the year? There are seven..."
Li Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I said, Lao Miao, you are so good at fixing things."
"Personalized painting, that's what you said." Miao Yu smiled proudly.
Everyone else was grinning from ear to ear and thought it was very interesting. This is what makes the Falcon Brigade unique. If anyone from other troops dares to do this, you will be criticized for even one more stroke.
"Good, very good, very good, and the implication is also very good." Li Zhan could only give praise, and the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers should be supported and not discouraged.
While I was talking, another commuter car rushed over. Li Zhan looked over and saw that it was the commuter bus for the infield office building. An unexpected person got out of the car.
"Zhongzhong?"
The visitor was Zhu Wei, wearing a desert camouflage uniform and combat boots. He strode over and saluted Li Zhan, "Old captain, you came here without saying hello."
Desert camouflage uniforms are thicker than woodland camouflage uniforms and are commonly used in winter, especially in southern areas where winter temperatures are higher. The temperature here in Beiku hovers around zero during the day, and military coats are generally not worn except when standing guard. Wearing thermal underwear and autumn clothes underneath and wearing desert camouflage clothing is enough to cope with low temperatures around zero.
Li Zhan returned the courtesy, walked aside with Zhu Wei, and said with a smile, "The training is about to end, right?"
If it's an emergency, you can either call the military directly, or take an Army Aviation helicopter. Zhu Wei obviously traveled three to four hundred kilometers here by car, which meant that it was not an urgent matter.
"Yes." Zhu Wei said, "If you have nothing to do, come and see you. Commander Xue said that you were going to test fly the repaired fighter, so I asked him to let me come and have a look. Is it this one? You didn't have the right wing at that time. I drove it back."
Li Zhan said, "It was him. The brothers in the repair shop were very helpful and completed the repair in a short period of time."
"A miracle in the history of aviation is a more difficult danger to deal with than losing the canopy." Zhu Wei sincerely admired him.
The more senior he is, the more he understands how serious the danger Li Zhan faced at that time.
Li Zhan gently waved his hand and said, "Our division is suffering, mainly because we are poor and don't have any good aircraft. We have to work hard to rescue them if we can. We are not as good as the rich kings like the Second Division and the Three Hundred Division."
"What the Second Division of the old army has studied the most in the past two years is the several dangerous situations you handled in the past." Zhu Wei said with a smile, "Old captain, please do your work, I will take a look."
Li Zhan said, "You tell me the matter first. After you finish speaking, I will fly to you to watch."
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Zhu Wei smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Two pieces of news. The first is that the anti-radiation missile you launched last time hit the central radar station of the simulated Blue Army unit on the ground. The result of the damage assessment is that it will not be able to restore 100% combat capability within two to three years. The superiors believe that if it is an actual combat, this strike will be the first success."
Li Zhan smiled broadly, "That's very good, very good."
"But you know, you are flying as a substitute. This credit cannot fall on you, but it cannot be placed on the sick pilot. First-class merit is not a small credit. After research, the superiors decided to give the Nighthawk Squadron a collective credit. For first-class merit, individuals will no longer be commended," Zhu Wei said.
Li Zhan nodded heavily, "The superior's decision is very wise. The credit belongs to everyone, and collective first-class merit is most appropriate. Nighthawk Squadron has no worries, and life will get better and better in the future."
Zhu Wei was a little embarrassed. After all, it was Li Zhan who made the meritorious service, but Li Zhan had nothing to do with it. He directly changed the first-class merit that should be given to him into a collective first-class merit and recorded it on the collective head of the Nighthawk Squadron. It also had nothing to do with Li Zhan.
"The Nighthawk Squadron is leaving tomorrow and will move to the eastern coast to continue training. However, the training tasks here are also relatively heavy. After research, the superiors decided to put a J-8 at Beiku Field Station as a combat-ready aircraft, which needs to conduct reconnaissance As for the training mission, it will be carried out by you or the pilots you brought out. Two or three more planes may be sent over in the future to use the Beiku Field Station as a permanent base for a tactical reconnaissance team." Zhu Wei whispered, " The official order will be issued tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I’ll give you a heads up in advance.”
Li Zhan was not surprised. This arrangement was reasonable. He had thought about this possibility before, but he thought that the tactical reconnaissance opportunity would be deployed at Nanku Station. Perhaps the superiors considered the issue of joint support and placed it at Beiku Station, which has more complete support capabilities.
"So you will come to Beiku often in the future." Li Zhan nodded slightly.
Zhu Wei smiled and said, "No, in fact, I came here to report for duty today, and I stayed to train new pilots."
"Nighthawk Squadron is going to expand?" Li Zhan keenly grasped the key point and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." Zhu Wei controlled his excitement and whispered, "To expand into a group, the four fighters are divided into four parts. Each of our four pilots is responsible for a squadron and will be used as the seeds of the four squadrons."
Li Zhan patted Zhu Wei's arm and said, "Well done, you will be promoted soon."
If the Beiku detachment is commanded by Li Zhan, it means that Zhu Wei is the captain of the expanded Nighthawk brigade. The future Nighthawk Brigade will probably be the largest tactical flying brigade in the area - one squadron in each of the four directions, covering almost the whole country.
"Old Captain, the Nighthawk Squadron is today mainly because of you. The superiors are very satisfied with our long-distance reconnaissance training operations and believe that it is necessary to expand the tactical reconnaissance force. The big brother of the Army has great support and speaks for us. We talked a lot." Zhu Wei whispered.
Li Zhan smiled and said, "You have played a role equivalent to their special operations brigade. It would be strange if you don't give strong support. Well, two great news, double happiness is coming. When the test flight goes well, triple happiness is coming."
After explaining a few words, Li Zhan boarded the cockpit of SU-27SK No. 01. With the help of Miao Yu, he connected the radio of the flight helmet, put on the oxygen mask, put down the sun visor, closed the canopy, and carried out activities under the command of the maintenance staff. After confirming that everything was normal, he asked the tower for instructions and immediately pushed off the apron.
The "hairless rooster" walked along the taxiway to the take-off position of the runway. The personnel on duty at each position on the tower were highly focused on performing their duties. Changyang Jinshan is here.
It was the first time for Beiku Station to conduct such a test flight, and everyone from top to bottom attached great importance to it. The rescue team at the station is ready and ready to dispatch at any time to deal with unexpected dangers.
"Dongyao, let's do a simulated takeoff first to see the condition of the fighter plane." Xue Xiangdong gave the order.
Li Zhan didn't think Xue Xiangdong was unnecessary, and immediately replied, "Dong Yao understands, do a simulated take-off, and it's over."
At this time, the sky above Beiku Field Station was completely clear. Except for the combat-ready fighter aircraft, the flight training of the other two groups were all moved back, freeing up one day to do the test flight of No. 01 SU-27SK.
