After finishing the work, the letter cannot be sent out yet. As a flight instructor, Yang Xiaolong is performing intensive adaptive training tasks for ordinary Class A and Class B students.
Zhou Hai, who is the captain of the First Squadron of the Red Army, received an order notice from Deputy Captain Lei after resting for ten minutes and went to the academy airport to start the daily training of the First Squadron of the Red Army.
…
Time flies and gradually passes.
Shicheng Flying Academy and HNA Flying Academy were both in a busy and tense state of high-intensity training.
The adaptive training consists of basic tactical maneuvers, characteristics of beyond-visual-range air combat, close combat, emergency takeoff, combat readiness for highway takeoff and landing, etc. It is more difficult and close to actual combat, making most flight students and some students participate in the exercise. There were endless complaints, and a small number of students who had just met the requirements for solo flight felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
These training contents have never been encountered before.
However, the adaptive training subjects related to air combat are still too difficult for ordinary students.
Even if precious knowledge and skills are in front of us, limited by talent and wisdom, everyone can only learn roughly and meet the most basic combat requirements.
As for understanding the essence of air combat, you need continuous air combat training on a year-by-year basis, so that ordinary students can be transformed into qualified combatants - rookie pilots in the popular sense.
The days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the end of summer.
To the northwest of Shicheng Feiyuan, there is the steep and towering Taihang Mountains.
In the distance, the sun sets and the sky is filled with red clouds.
"Buzz!"
The roar of the WS-17 turbofan engine resounded over the northern part of the mountainous area and spread all around. The silver-gray No. 109 L-15C Falcon with a science fiction atmosphere was bathed in the glow, like a sword in the sky, traveling at 700 kilometers per hour. At a speed of 100 mph, it passed over a towering dangerous peak at high speed, steadily maintaining a relative height of 200 meters to the ground.
"boom!"
Behind them, seven Falcon high-education aircraft maintained a straight front and rear compact formation, following the No. 109 L-15C Falcon. Like sharp arrows, they passed over this towering dangerous peak in the northern mountainous area at high speed, maintaining a 200-degree angle. meters height.
Here is the former battlefield, the eastern edge of the second ladder of the motherland's terrain, and the eastern boundary of the Loess Plateau - the Taihang Mountains.
"Each aircraft reports the situation."
The scenery outside the drop-shaped glass cockpit passed quickly. As the supreme commander, Zhou Hai, with a calm expression and his eyes looking straight ahead, flew at the front of the fleet, assuming the leadership role. He held the joystick tightly in his right hand and controlled the low-altitude flying aircraft. The L-15C Falcon flew along the predetermined route, implemented the standard plan, turned on the radio equipment, and issued instructions to the aircraft of the First Squadron of the Red Army.
"No. 2 is normal."
Wang Zhuyu, who was bearing the high overload, was highly concentrated and did not dare to be distracted. He held the joystick with both hands and stared intently at the No. 109 L-15C Falcon more than a hundred meters in front of him.
After three months of special air combat training, Wang Zhuyu has already broken his limits and can fly at a minimum altitude of 150 meters.
"No. 3 is normal."
"No. 4 is normal."
Bai Tangfei and Yi Xuewu, who were at the same level, both replied that their breathing was slightly rapid and laborious, but it was nothing serious and they were experiencing normal physiological reactions.
"No. 5 is normal."
"No. 6 is normal."
"No. 7 is normal."
"No. 8 is normal."
In the encrypted radio communication channel, the remaining four crash course students belonging to the 1st Squadron immediately responded, breathing quickly and heavily.
Speed 700, altitude 200.
Low-altitude, high-speed, and complex mountainous terrain penetration, a training subject that is extremely dangerous and makes ordinary flight students in Shiyuan blush, is the daily training of the First Squadron after special air combat training.
Under such flight conditions, operational errors and accidents may lead to first-class flight accidents involving aircraft destruction and loss of life.
"All aircrafts must maintain a high level of vigilance, brace themselves, and strictly avoid distractions. They are about to enter the complex terrain in the middle of the Taihang Mountains."
Zhou Hai heard everyone's answers, looked at the satellite detection and terrain data given on the multi-function display, stared at the steep mountainous terrain ahead, and gave a reminder.
As an important geographical dividing line, the Taihang Mountains have a terrain that is high in the north and low in the south, steep in the east and gentle in the west. It is mostly composed of fault structures. The terrain is complex and steep, with large relative height differences and numerous peaks of various sizes.
As the top commander of the 1st Squadron, Zhou Hai needs to inquire about the flight status of each aircraft every 15 minutes, check whether there is any situation, and is responsible for training the safety of each aircraft and the pilot students.
This is a tedious job, and it is also the reason why Zhou Hai is not very willing to be promoted.
He is a pilot who likes to fight alone, well, in the popular sense, he finds it troublesome.
"First Squadron, please report the flight situation." In the encrypted communication channel, the clear and ethereal voice of Shicheng Flying Academy tower controller Lin Ying came out, asking Zhou Hai.
Zhou Hai changed his flight attitude according to the terrain data detected by the aircraft, passed over the rugged peaks on the right at high speed, and immediately reported the situation to the academy airport: "Report to the tower, the flight status of the 1st Squadron is normal, and the flight training is in progress. The process is over halfway. It is about to pass through the middle part of the Taihang Mountains."
"The terrain in the middle section of Taihang is complex, please pay attention to safety, No. 1 Squadron." Tower controller Lin Ying recorded the flight report data and gave Zhou Hai an information reminder.
"First Squadron received."
Holding the throttle firmly with his left hand and holding the stick with his right hand, Zhou Hai responded after hearing the controller's reminder.
The roar of turbofan engines resounded all around. The eight Falcons of the First Squadron, bathed in the glow, faced the setting sun gradually falling in the distance, shuttled through the complex and dangerous middle section of the Taihang Mountains, training their ability to penetrate at low altitudes in complex terrain. .
There is already a gap like a natural chasm between the First Squadron, which is composed of all members of the crash course, and the ordinary Class A and Class B flight students who are both students from the Shicheng Flying Academy.
While ordinary students are still struggling with preparations for highway takeoffs and landings and conventional tactical subjects, the elite students in the crash course have already reached the qualification level of combatants and have mastered difficult flight skills such as low-altitude and complex terrain penetration and rich live-fire shooting experience. .
This is the gap!
The difference between ordinary and elite!
"boom!"
Thirty minutes later, as the setting sun emitted red light was gradually swallowed up by the horizon, as it passed through the precipitous Taihang Mountains, the No. 109 L-15c Falcon at the front of the team took the lead in raising its head and climbing, piercing the sky like a sharp sword. , breaking away from the flat and vast plain terrain.
The remaining seven silver-gray Falcon aircraft followed closely, forming a straight line. The pointed orange tail flames of the aircraft were dazzling. The eight Falcon aircraft that had completed the training mission of low-altitude penetration into the Taihang Mountains flew overhead. Sky composed of red glow and blue background.
The sky is slightly dark.
Night is coming.
