However, Zhou Hai couldn't tell the specific model yet.
"boom!"
On the main and secondary runways of Shencheng Air Force Base, accompanied by the roaring roar of four high-performance aviation turbofan engines, two J-11 heavy air superiority fighters walked side by side, rushing towards each other like sharp swords. ahead.
Facing the wind and snow, ten seconds later, as the two silver-gray-painted J-11s taxied and reached the critical speed for takeoff, the noses of the aircraft were slightly raised to face the harsh weather.
In the heavy snow, the war eagle takes off, and the danger increases by several levels.
"How do you feel?" Sitting in the car, Tan Gang looked at the two war eagles leaving and smiled at Zhou Hai.
Zhou Hai took a deep breath, looked away, and said seriously: "It deserves our admiration. I didn't expect to take off in the heavy snow."
Admire, respect.
According to Zhou Hai's thoughts and judgment, in this extremely harsh climate, Air Force fighters generally do not go on duty, but stay in closed hangars.
"You will be like them in the future, guarding this blue sky." Tan Gang showed a faint smile and his eyes were distant.
There is a gate checkpoint at the entrance of the Shencheng Air Force Base. Four sentries stand on guard around it. They have a standard military posture, with a layer of snow accumulating on their Lei Feng hats and shoulders.
Stop the car, show your ID again, and after inspection, everyone is allowed to pass.
After entering the base, the Warrior military vehicle followed the instructions and headed straight to the A1 parking area of the air force base. Not long after, a huge military aircraft equipped with four propeller aviation engines came into view.
Sky blue paint, four WJ-6C turboprop aviation engines, a straight trapezoidal cantilevered upper monoplane, an ordinary and ordinary appearance, and a load capacity of up to 25 tons, this is a new domestic Y-9 medium-sized tactical transport aircraft.
At this time, two military transport vehicles, a military special forklift and many soldiers were parked at the rear of the Y-9 cargo bay.
The forklift unloaded the boxes containing military supplies from the military transport vehicle one by one, and then sent them to the rear of the cargo hold. Soldiers used small electric carts to transport them into the cargo hold for storage.
Arriving at the apron, the Warrior military vehicle stopped steadily.
"Huh!" A gust of cold wind roared, biting to the bone.
"Get out of the car." Tan Gang said, opened the door and left the passenger seat.
Zhou Hai followed closely, left the back seat, came to Tan Gang's side, and the two headed for the Y-9 transport plane not far away.
After delivering Tan Gang and Zhou Hai, the driver started the engine without any hesitation and drove away in the Warrior military vehicle.
On the way, Tan Gang took out a military document from his backpack and said as he walked: "We are going to the training base affiliated with the aviation school in Hainan Province. In the next half month, we will conduct parachuting training and field survival training in Hainan Province. , my requirements for you are a 95% passing rate in the skydiving assessment and an excellent wilderness survival score. If it is lower than this value, you will not be able to pass the assessment, and your request will be terminated immediately."
Special training!
This is a special training specifically for Zhou Hai.
"Is it still possible to survive in the wild?" After hearing the message given by Tan Gang, Zhou Hai frowned and said seriously.
Regarding skydiving, Zhou Hai was not afraid, not worried at all.
But wilderness survival training was a bit of a headache for him. He had no choice but to get enough energy for his body's daily needs.
Tan Gang nodded: "Well, there are both parachuting and field survival tests. The latter lasts for one week, but it is not as strict as the special forces and the Marine Corps. The pilot field training subjects mainly learn about concealment."
Hidden in the wild!
This is one of the key subjects in pilot training and assessment. The main purpose of concealment in the wild is to reduce the probability of being discovered by the enemy after ejection and escape through various degrees of camouflage, and to improve the probability of survival.
"I understand." After hearing these words, Zhou Hai took a deep breath.
Soon, the two arrived at the Y-9 medium-sized tactical transport aircraft. Tan Gang found the base officer who was directing the soldiers to move the cargo and took out the prepared confidential military documents.
This base officer with the rank of major took the confidential military document and checked it to confirm that it was correct. He nodded, took out the black signature pen he carried with him, wrote his name, and put it away: "The crew will take off in 30 minutes, you guys." You can go in and rest first.”
"Okay, please, brother." Tan Gang smiled at the major officer.
The major officer waved his hand and showed a hearty smile. It was obvious that he was not unfamiliar with the behavior of free rides: "It's okay."
After saying that, he continued to arrange for the soldiers to load supplies.
"Let's go in." After a brief exchange, Tan Gang said to Zhou Hai behind him.
"good."
After taking a look at several soldiers operating small electric carts to transport supplies in the cabin, Zhou Hai followed Tan Gang into the cargo hold, passed through the cargo accumulation area, and came to a row of simple and low seats.
Inside the cargo hold, there is a faint metallic atmosphere, showing the simple elements unique to military transport aircraft, and there is almost no superfluous thing to be found.
Sitting on the low seat at the edge of the cargo hold, Zhou Hai briefly looked at the cargo hold and stopped caring.
Transport aircraft are not Zhou Hai's cup of tea.
"Two passengers, welcome to this military flight. I am the captain of this flight. The destination is the base in three cities in Hainan Province. The voyage is about 2,900 kilometers and the total time is about 5 and a half hours. I hope you have a pleasant journey."
At this time, an interesting hoarse sound came from the sound equipment in the cargo hold. The pilot in the cockpit joked to Zhou Hai and Tan Gang: "I forgot to mention that this flight does not provide hot water and food. and toilets, which will be provided by me and my assistant for your flight.”
This pilot is quite interesting. ——
After hearing these words, Zhou Hai was obviously stunned, and a smile appeared on his face.
Tan Gang looked calm, closed his eyes and rested his mind, obviously showing a familiar attitude.
Time passed slowly, and not long after, a soldier who braved the wind and snow to load supplies loaded all the supplies into the cargo hold after spending more than ten minutes.
The co-pilot, who was wearing an anti-Dutch suit, left the cockpit at this time, nodded in salute with Zhou Hai and Tan Gang, then walked around the aircraft body to check the situation, confirmed that it was correct, and finally returned to the cockpit.
The time is already 4:05 pm.
"Boom!" The four WJ-6C turboprop engines ignited and started, and the deafening roar filled the interior of the not-so-spacious cargo hold.
The two pilots, the first and second officer, steadily controlled the behemoth beneath them, taxied out of the apron, followed the taxiway, and headed towards the airport's main takeoff runway.
Sitting in the bumpy and vibrating cargo hold, Zhou Hai felt an increasingly strong overload. Zhou Hai stabilized his body to avoid falling.
bumpy!
As temporary passengers on this military transport plane, Zhou Hai and Tan Gang's ride experience was definitely not comfortable, but it was stable and reliable, and far more durable than delicate civilian aircraft.
On a windy and snowy afternoon, the gradually accelerating Y-9 medium-sized tactical transport aircraft, powered by the surging power of its four turboprop engines, taxied and sprinted for more than 1,300 meters at high speed on the base runway, reaching the critical speed for takeoff.
