Target, NW.
The destination is Wucheng Air Force Base in Xinjiang Province.
Passing through the cumulus layer full of clouds of various shapes at mid- to low-altitude, dozens of seconds later, the J-10D Fire Dragon, dragging its long and high-temperature tail smoke, reached the predetermined altitude of 12,500 meters. In a relatively slow manner, it leveled off and flew out, maintaining Best flying attitude.
Gently push the throttle up, and treat the eldest wife as gently as water, never rough.
Soft and gentle.
The WS-10C turbofan engine outputs even more surging thrust. Bathed in darkness, the J-10D 'Fire Dragon' reveals a ferocious and slightly evil killing essence, tearing apart the thin and invisible turbulent airflow at high altitudes to more... Raid at a fast speed.
Altitude 12,500 meters, speed Mach 0.8.
"I hope nothing happens on this mission, just be a big bomb."
Zhou Hai's face was calm, his right hand was firmly holding the joystick, his back was straight, his deep eyes were staring at the morning light released from the hazy horizon in the distance, and he was murmuring softly, like a computer-like brain, continuing to simulate the upcoming ice-breaking mission.
Solemn, serious.
Flying is no small matter and must not be taken lightly - this is the principle that Zhou Hai has always believed in, whether it is for himself or for the beauty thousands of miles away.
Today is the first time in half a year that he has flown a single J-10D over a long distance. It is also the first time in his service career that he has carried out a combat mission of throwing live ammunition to break through the ice of the Yellow River. It needs to be treated with caution.
Regardless of the joking and chatting before leaving, it was as if this mission was as simple as eating and drinking, and he could slip away by just dropping a bomb and patting his butt.
In fact, the second half of the single-player mission, the ice blasting phase, is undoubtedly at a high level of difficulty.
Why?
First of all, the geographical environment is unfamiliar and does not give the opportunity for pre-debugging and simulated bombing. It requires one-time success. You must know that when the Air Force bomber unit carries out bombing, it usually flies real aircraft and undergoes multiple pre-research and field survey simulations before carrying out bombing. .
Secondly, the bombs dropped in this ice-breaking session are unguided bombs, but they require precise strikes, and the period is at night, so the difficulty increases again.
Finally, the ice-breaking session only belongs to the second half of the entire single-machine mission. Don’t forget the physical and mental consumption of a 2,060-kilometer single-machine long-distance transition.
Such a long transition distance is almost no less than a marathon for ordinary pilots. One day is simply not enough to restore physical strength and energy.
Under the influence of many factors, the seemingly ordinary single-plane long-distance transfer + night ice-breaking bombing mission was no less difficult than a real air combat raid. It was a test of Zhou Hai's personal actual combat ability, real tactical quality and psychological quality. And what are the results of the training in the past six months.
Zhou Hai knew his intention very well and naturally he would not neglect it.
If this complex and difficult task were given to the original group of Argentinian pilots who liked to sleep until 9 a.m., they would probably be in awe and discouraged.
The most important thing for a fighter pilot is - fighting!
Warrior, always be ready!
Next, go to Wucheng Base to get the detailed content and steps of the ice blasting process, and learn about the specific location of the ice blasting.
"Buzz!"
The white smoke-like contrail cloud remained in the sky of 10,000 meters, and the orange-red tail flame and the light emitted by the green warning light on the belly of the aircraft blended together, making it dazzling. The J-10D was flying at high subsonic speeds and strictly maintained the predetermined altitude and route.
Zhou Hai was sitting on the ejection seat, meticulous and focused.
serious,
serious,
cautious.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a doting wife, so I can’t be distracted, I have to feel it well.
Time passed slowly, and soon, as the high-quality aviation fuel in the two high-capacity auxiliary fuel tanks continued to supply the WS-10C turbofan engine, which was like an oil tiger, it disappeared. The J-10D soaring at the top of the sky, crossed Dawn welcomes the first ray of morning light in the world.
The early sun rises from the east and shines on the end of the fuselage.
Warm and comfortable.
For countless ordinary people living in cities on the ground, a new and sunset-filled day has just arrived.
In the sky, the J-10D and Zhouhai were bathed in sunshine. They left the prosperous flat basin of Sichuan Province and submerged into an area with towering mountains. As the relative altitude became higher and higher, it didn't take long to cross Bayan. The Kara Mountains and the Qinling Mountains, the dividing line between north and south, fly over the uninhabited plateau area.
Subsequently, after flying for more than a thousand kilometers, the J-10D came to the majestic Qilian Mountains and the Qaidam Desert, a barren land that stretches to tens of thousands of square kilometers.
From an altitude of 10,000 meters, overlooking the vast territory and the desert that ordinary people are afraid of, it is a unique experience.
The weather has cleared up.
The blue sky is like a wash, clear and holy, unstained by dust.
Enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, after a long flight of more than two hours, the No. 012 J-10D passed through the entire Qinghai Province and the southeastern part of Xinjiang Province, arrived at Wucheng, and flew into the outer reaches of the no-fly zone of the destination Wucheng Air Force Base. .
Wucheng Air Force Base is located about 60 kilometers south of Wucheng. It is a first-level air force base and a military-level organic air force unit. It is responsible for the territorial air defense and combat tasks of the entire vast Xinjiang Province and the western region of the inner province. Its geographical location is crucial. Important, it should be one of the air force hubs guarding the west.
Lower the flight altitude and reduce the speed.
"Call Wucheng Base, this is aircraft 012, requesting landing." After Zhou Hai flew to the outer area of the no-fly zone, he adjusted his flight attitude with his right hand, switched to the corresponding encrypted communication channel, reported his own information, and issued an incoming message. field and landing requests.
"Unit No. 012, this is the Wucheng base tower. You can enter and land. The ground wind is northwest, wind speed level 4, gust level 6, crosswind level 5, field pressure 1019, wind speed is high, you need to pay special attention."
Over the radio, a controller's voice with a hint of Northeastern accent came out, speaking quickly, giving permission for approach and landing, as well as ground parameters: "The weather is sunny and the temperature is low. I wish you good luck."
Above the ground, in the base tower, a controller from the Northeast had a serious face. He stared at the flashing light information on the radar screen. He picked up a high-powered telescope and stared at it.
The landing conditions this morning were not good and the wind speed was high.
The gust speed reaches level 6 per second, which is considered a strong wind.
The crosswind speed reaches level 5 per second, which is considered a strong wind.
Such wind speed will affect the landing of fighter planes to a certain extent.
In fact, the wind speeds in the northwest are much slower than those in the east and coastal plains.
"Unit No. 012 received, ready to approach and land." Zhou Hai heard this, with a serious face. He naturally understood what level 6 gusts and level 5 crosswinds meant. He stared at the Wucheng base that was getting closer and closer, and pressed the lever forward. Slowly pull down the throttle valve.
Good guy, this is an absolute show of force!
The northwest region of Xinjiang Province specifically gave him power.
