Watching Su-5 fighter jets up close and communicating with Maozi pilots was something Zhou Hai had never thought about.
"Some years ago, about twenty years ago, a flight instructor was flying with his students, following the previous route, and almost entered Maozi's airspace. As a result, a Su-27 came over, and our side just missed the airspace. Seeing that we were The training aircraft, coupled with the easing of relations, will open up public channels for communication.”
Li Fu's eyes flashed with memories. He thought about it and slowly told the story of what had happened. His words were calm and gentle:
"We were chatting, hello, hello, hello, everyone, and then our junior instructor Liu and Maozi's Su-27 flew together, with the border in the middle. In this way, from the first time, this relationship has been maintained over time. Those flamboyant pilots are pretty good, especially No. 09, which suits my taste very well."
This special way of intimate communication has been passed down since the end of the last century. Flight instructors usually take their student pilots to fly along the airspace border to practice their flying skills and broaden their horizons at the same time.
The Maozi fighter units stationed at the border were also happy to do so.
The fighter jets that were preparing for combat patrols spotted the Chujiao Liu Hou flying along the border. They lowered their altitude and flew with them. Everyone chatted and vented their emotions.
After all, only pilots who are both proud of heaven have a common language.
After the high-level officials of both sides learned about it, they did not make any announcement and acquiesced in the incident. Gradually, this incident was regarded as a friendly exchange between the two air forces.
As time goes by, it becomes a routine.
Zhou Hai was thoughtful after hearing this, and then asked his inner question: "Master, what is going on with No. 09's talk about teaching the little devil a lesson?"
The F-15 that teaches the little devil a lesson?
curious!
This situation made Zhou Hai particularly curious.
"It won't do you any good to know this now. You'll know it when you get out of the unit and complete the training and fly solo."
When Li Fu heard this, his words were calm and without any fluctuation. He looked at the data displayed on the fuel gauge and said seriously: "The fuel is still 80%, continue to practice flying maneuvers, add rollers high and long, and finally finish with the Yin Mailman maneuver. Don't Fly over the line, and if you feel it’s not working, you can lean to the left.”
"OK."
Zhou Hai heard Li Fu's words and didn't ask too much. He looked slightly helpless and put on standard polarized sunglasses to prevent the sun from affecting his vision.
The whole person held his breath, held the joystick tightly with his right hand, observed the cockpit instruments with both eyes, and slowly pushed up the throttle valve with his left hand.
The movements, gentle and gentle, did not change the flight position.
Pull the lever and look up.
no?
Although this was Zhou Hai's first time flying on an airplane, he had simulated countless flying movements in his mind and was confident enough.
Now, continue the training that combines theory and practice to accumulate valuable flight experience.
Zhou Hai didn't know how long his master had been flying or how many flying hours he had, but his flying experience was definitely better than that of a rookie like him.
I don’t know how many times stronger!
Of course, Zhou Hai could only express his helplessness about the training arrangement of practicing a series of air combat maneuvers on the first day he got on the plane.
What about the five basic flying movements mentioned?
"Buzz!"
In the sky, the sound of propellers and the unique roar of engines resounded all around. The military green-painted JJ-6 raised its nose and began to fly naively and slightly clumsily.
A young eagle is learning to fly.
In the distance, there are several white clouds dotted.
The scorching sun hangs on the top of the sky, casting countless rays of light symbolizing hope, which is dazzling and intoxicating.
…
With Zhou Hai's excellent performance in his first flight, which met the flying talent determined by the selection center, the aviation school completely released the independent training plan and devoted a large amount of resources to training.
flight!
train!
Flight training day after day!
Every day life revolves around these two themes.
As a student pilot in the independent training system, Zhou Hai is not restricted by the rules of the normal training system and enjoys the top flight standard of two hours a day.
What does this number mean?
Normally, the average flight training time for senior student pilots is 1.92 hours per week. They must study for one year and reach the hard target of 100 hours before they can take the initial aircraft instruction graduation assessment.
The independent training system has a hard target of 150 hours and two hours of full flight training time per day. Simple calculation shows that it only takes 75 days to reach the full target and start the initial aircraft training graduation assessment.
At such a speed, it's like being on a rocket, rising slowly.
Time passed gradually, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The end of the year is approaching, and the Spring Festival, which is extremely important to the entire China, is approaching.
Dancheng training base, indoor shooting range.
Zhou Hai looked calm, standing at the No. 3 shooting window, holding a Type 95 automatic rifle in both hands, locking the center of the target one hundred meters away by aiming at the baseline, gently pulling the trigger with his index finger, and hammering the bottom of the bullet with the firing pin.
"boom!"
A crisp and slightly hoarse sound came out, and a 5.8mm metal warhead shot out like an arrow from the string, spinning out of the gun barrel at high speed, flying along the predetermined trajectory at a muzzle velocity of 90 meters per second.
Spin, deadly.
In less than 0.1 seconds, the entire hot and high-speed spinning metal warhead accurately hit the center area of the No. 3 target a hundred meters away.
10 points!
"Bang, bang, bang!" Zhou Hai's expression did not change. He regarded the recoil of the gun as if it were nothing. He took aim at the target and fired continuously without caring.
Four 5.8 mm diameter metal slugs landed in the center of the target.
Accurate and stable.
After five rounds of live ammunition firing, plumes of green smoke emitted from the dark and slender muzzle, transmitting and releasing heat to the outside world.
"Five out of five shots, 50 points!"
The inspector at the indoor shooting range rushed to target No. 3 as quickly as possible, made a visual inspection, and then shouted to Zhou Hai, instructor Li Fu and the shooting examiner: "All excellent results!"
After the examiner heard the news of the inspector's report, he recorded Zhou Hai's shooting results in his notebook: "The results were all excellent, and the live ammunition shooting assessment was full."
"Let's go, Zhou Hai, put the gun away, tomorrow is your time to fly solo." Instructor Li Fu was wearing earplugs. After hearing the results reported by the inspector, his face was calm. After Zhou Hai finished shooting, he shouted He said sternly.
Instructor Li Fu didn't care about live ammunition shooting. He only had one request, which was that Zhou Hai's shooting results should not be too bad.
Even the US military does not have such a luxury to allow pilots who are as precious as gold to fight ground battles.
As a proud man of heaven, it is almost impossible for a pilot to pick up a gun and fight with the enemy. Even if he is shot down and parachute to an enemy-occupied area during the war, he pays more attention to hiding in the wild instead of fighting out with an automatic rifle.
This is unrealistic and impossible.
