Why bother with those 44 rounds?
Because the destination of the other 186 shells was very clear - they all hit the cockpit of one of the pirate ships, killing the pirate's command team on the spot.
J-8F No. 81103 broke off the left wing tip and half of the vertical tail and dropped it at the scene. Don't think that it is just gone. Even if it consumes hundreds of times the resources, it must be recovered!
Not to mention the whereabouts of the 44 23mm aircraft cannon shells.
However, no one answered this question.
Zhang Sihai waved his hand and said, "Let's put this question down for now. Again, I'll leave all the questions until I ask Li Hai to understand them together."
He said solemnly, "Li Hai is our comrade, a proven comrade. He is also a graduate student in horse studies and a senior official of the brigade party. Politically, he is absolutely reliable. I hope everyone will first correct themselves when conducting investigations. Attitude, never look at your comrades with suspicion."
The implication is very clear—Lehi’s description must be reliable!
The reason why Zhang Sihai put the questioning of Li Hai last was because he was worried that some investigators might have preconceived ideas. The investigation team is too large, with people from dozens of industries and dozens of different departments in the military and civilian systems. It is inevitable that some people will fall into thinking inertia.
He is particularly worried about such a situation in the political work group.
Fortunately, the work of the political work team has been impartial and correct and objective so far. On the contrary, some technical investigators in the non-military system, such as aviation disaster investigators, will treat pilots as their own after entering the role due to work habits. listed as one of the disaster factors.
Of course, investigation work must eliminate human factors, regardless of whether it is military or local. The problem is that one cannot be preconceived.
Zhang Sihai's words set the most important tone when the investigation was about to end - there was nothing wrong with the pilot.
In fact, at this point in the investigation, everyone knows that the pilot is fine. Not only is there no problem, but he also deserves credit, huge credit, huge credit!
Just two points are enough: 1. Performed extremely well when dealing with RC-135V/W; 2. During anti-piracy, he carried out an effective counterattack under impossible circumstances and also drove the aircraft back to the edge of the airport. !
After everyone in the political work team compared the reward conditions, they all thought of the same ranking - special meritorious official.
So, does it matter where the 44 rounds of artillery shells went?
Important, very, very important, no matter from any aspect, it is very, very important.
However, everyone basically understands that I am afraid that many people in the investigation team will never know the answer. Maybe ten years from now, twenty years from now, thirty years from now, or even a hundred years from now, people will get some glimpses from the character reports. There are clues, but by then it will be a new world...
Wang Xiaowei made a final report. His report had only one purpose - to confirm Li Hai's results!
He photographed the cockpit of the ship that was destroyed by the pirate ship, and confirmed that the three ships were owned by pirates. This is crucial!
As for the investigation team's suspicion that the real purpose of the pirate fleet is military aircraft, this is something that needs to be investigated in depth later.
In the final analysis, the person who knows the situation best is still the pilot involved, Li Hai. The investigation team's attitude towards Li Hai determined the subsequent series of in-depth investigations.
Zhang Sihai was a pilot in the 1970s. He was grounded in the critical year of 2008-2009, and then worked in the second-line research department until his retirement. He has experienced too many people and things, and he knows the importance of direction in everything!
A small number of investigators who know the relationship between the characters think that maybe Li Zhan called Zhang Sihai. Because when Li Zhan was still a new pilot, his teacher was Zhang Sihai, so it was understandable to call the teacher to take care of the students who were closed.
In fact, it was Zhang Sihai who took the initiative to call Li Zhan, and the discussion was not about Li Hai, but about flying technology!
After understanding Li Hai's situation at the time, Li Zhan made it clear that he could not do it. He was sure to dodge the sudden left turn attack of the RC-135V/W, but he had no confidence in flying a high-altitude, high-speed fighter that had lost its wingtips and half of its vertical tail for nearly fifty kilometers and then selectively crashed the aircraft on the ground. The place you want.
With his words, the biggest technical problem no longer exists.
When Zhang Sihai asked Li Zhan with a smile: "If it were you, would you fire 44 shells?"
Li Zhan on the other end of the phone also smiled and replied, "I will shoot out two air-to-air missiles first, and then use all the aircraft cannon shells to completely tear the RC-135V/W into pieces. There will be no scum left by them."
"Well, that's right."
After unifying their views, Zhang Sihai knew how to deal with the problem of "where did the 44 rounds of artillery shells go?"
When it was finally time to face Li Hai, Zhang Sihai was surrounded by high-ranking school officials, more than a dozen of them, many of whom Li Hai had met. For example, Liu Chengjun, chief of staff of the division, Han Hongjun, a middle-aged student of the Flying Shark Force, Wang Xiaowei, captain of the Air and Sea Guards Corps, and an unexpected female senior colonel - Huang Xiaoyue.
Psychological authorities inside and outside the military are responsible for investigating pilots' psychology. It can be seen that the higher-level leadership agencies want the investigation to be comprehensive and will not allow flaws in any aspect.
Huang Xiaoyue's investigation is different from that of other groups. She only needs to watch the entire interrogation process to draw conclusions.
With so many familiar faces, Li Hai was no longer nervous, even though he was alone on this side.
"Comrade Li Hai, the investigation is basically over. This is the first time I'm questioning you, but it's not the last."
Zhang Sihai said with a smile, and Li Hai's heart suddenly jumped up - what do you mean?
Zhang Sihai continued, "Let me tell you something. The 11-15 air battle you experienced is of great significance. The higher-level leadership will set up a special research group to conduct in-depth research on this air battle and will frequently ask you about the situation at that time." situation, so you have to be mentally prepared.”
Um? It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. Li Hai came to his senses and grinned.
Huang Xiaoyue looked at Li Hai and thought to herself, how did Li Zhan discover this unattractive flying genius who couldn't be found among the crowd for a long time when his master was so handsome and his apprentice was so ugly?
"Okay, Comrade Li Hai, first question, where did the 44 rounds of artillery shells go?" Zhang Sihai directly asked the most critical question.
Li Hai stood up, picked up the camera in front of him, opened it and took out the memory card, then walked up and placed it in front of Zhang Sihai, and replied, "Yes, I took the shot. I took the photos. Many of them are all here."
"You can still take photos while fighting?" Han Hongjun asked subconsciously.
Li Hai replied, "Yes, I fly the plane with one hand."
All the old pilots were petrified...
