A sudden aerial encounter allowed Wei Lan to see the real gap between him and Li Hai, and also realize the huge difference between training and actual combat.
Practical combat training has been proposed for several years. The purpose is to train the troops to conduct combat training under actual combat conditions and to hone the troops' ability to win battles in modern warfare environments.
Even so, it is still difficult to completely replace the experience brought by actual combat.
Undoubtedly, Wei Lan is excellent in combat training and is far better than Li Hai. So far, Li Hai has not received complete advanced combat training.
However, if the combat plan is regarded as a script, then the script for actual combat is completely different from the script used for combat training.
The biggest difference is that there are many uncontrollable factors in the actual combat script, which greatly tests the commanders' ability to react and make decisions on the fly.
In this aspect, Le Hai was particularly outstanding, otherwise he would have died for his country long ago.
Not to mention how the 167th Independent Flying Group carefully studied the air combat of Li Hai's crew that day and applied the experience to the subsequent training.
Li Hai and the Party for the People were "reduced" to temporary teachers.
Three days later, Li Hai and Dang Weimin had no work to do. The troops carried out large-scale training according to the training plan. Fighter planes took off and landed frequently. The comrades, holding their flying helmets, looked as happy as if they were marrying their wives every day.
On the other hand, these two brothers squatted there and watched people "marry wives every day." You looked at me and I looked at you. They looked like two bachelors in their thirties and forties who couldn't find a wife, squatting on the edge of the field and watching other people's wives working in the fields.
On this day, Li Hai gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "This is not the way to go!"
"Then what can you do?" Dang Weimin rolled his eyes and said weakly, "A clever woman can't make a meal without rice. You are not a clever woman."
Li Hai snorted, "Can a living person be choked to death by urinating?"
"Then tell me what you can do." Dang Weimin said.
Li Hai pointed with his hand, "Did you see those two J-6s?"
They will be in the outfield, watching their comrades take off and land in Warhawks. Such large-scale and high-intensity training makes them drool.
However, the Su-30MK2 No. 17 is already lying dormant and needs to wait for the manufacturer to come over for repairs. Otherwise, it may have to go to the factory for overhaul.
Based on the service status of this batch of Su-30MK2s, superiors may have to reconsider whether to overhaul or scrap them. There is not much left in the life of the fuselage, and it is inevitable that there will be many minor problems.
However, based on the service status of the first batch of Su-27s, superiors will most likely overhaul the No. 17 Su-30MK2 and serve it for at least another ten to sixteen months.
Li Hai and the Party for the People felt uncomfortable without the supply of fighter planes.
The hungry Li Hai actually set his sights on the two J-6s!
"You're crazy. Those are two exhibition aircraft that have been retired for many years. Danfeng Base is also a local youth national defense education base. Those two J-6s were for children to see when they visited." Dang Weimin stared in disbelief. He looked at Li Hai.
Li Hai said, "That's old history. I've asked before. Since Danfengchang Station was changed to a tactical training base, the function of national defense education has been stripped away. Naturally, the two J-6s are not exhibition aircraft."
"Even if it's not an exhibition aircraft, can you still fly the J-6 for training? Taking a step back, even if you can fly it, those two J-6s have been around for so many years, and even the engines have been removed. How can you fly them? Use a kite!" Party for the People said angrily.
Li Hai said dissatisfiedly, "Can you let me finish what I'm saying?"
"Okay, okay, you tell me, you can even think of launching the J-6. You thought it was 2000, Lao Li, it is now 2019." Dang Weimin said with a groan.
Li Hai ignored him and said, "We should think about the problem this way. First of all, should we solve the problem of whether there are planes?"
"Yes." Dang Weimin did not deny it, "This is indeed the first question."
"Okay, no matter what kind of plane it is, as long as we can fly it, it is the right plane. If I give you a J-20, you won't be able to fly it, right?"
Li Hai slowly analyzed, "Our current situation is like this. It is impossible to borrow aircraft from the Red Flag Division. Although they have two spare aircraft, even if we borrow them, we may not be qualified to fly, so it will not work. Other Sus in the brigade Don’t count on it at 30, Captain Lin has made it clear that we will be the tactical instructors for a period of time, and we will resume training after the aircraft is repaired.”
"Can I call the tactical instructor on the ground a tactical instructor?"
Shaking his head slightly, Li Hai said, "After solving the problem of whether the aircraft is available, we can then consider training. Why can't we train if we fly the J-6? When we were in the teaching brigade, the J-6 we flew was still a propeller-engine fighter. .”
Dang Weimin frowned and said, "It sounds like it is what you said, but why do I always feel that it is a bit shocking?"
"That's because you think too highly of yourself. You think you're a third-generation fighter. What you're learning is a third-and-a-half-generation carrier-based fighter. You look high above and never look down. When I first asked you to fly the J-6, of course you were It feels insulting." Li Hai said with a smile.
Dang Weimin looked at Li Hai and said seriously, "Old Li, I ask you a question, and you answer me honestly."
"Just ask." Li Hai nodded with a smile.
Dang Weimin said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a tactical instructor on the ground. Of course it makes sense to organize like this, right? Why do you insist on going to heaven? Don't glare at me, just listen to what I have to say. I remember Mr. Li said something, people can’t join in all the fun. At a certain point, you have to learn to see with your eyes and think with your head. He said this was the reason why he finally left the flying frontline early.”
Unexpectedly, when Li Hai heard this, he took a sip and said, "Old Dang, are you crazy? Mr. Li was talking about the time when you become successful and famous, and when you reach four or five thousand flight hours, you are a new recruit. Danzi, the total flight hours are only four to five hundred hours, why are you pretending to be so profound!"
Dang Weimin blinked, blinking, "Hey, it seems to be the same..."
"Don't think that just because you shot down a MiG-35, you really consider yourself a trump card. Brother, we still have a long way to go in the future. Now is the stage of desperate training. Don't think that you have reached the stage of returning to nature." Li Hai chuckled.
Dang Weimin suddenly said, "Then you actually want to earn more subsidies, right?"
"Huh? I don't know what you are talking about." Li Hai's eyes flickered.
Dang Weimin said in a faint tone, "According to regulations, when we fly at land bases, we also have overseas repairs. According to regulations, no matter what type of aircraft we fly, overseas repairs are the same..."
Li Hai avoided the thoughtful gaze of the party and the people and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. I haven't studied the overseas subsidy standards. I don't know the difference in subsidy between models, let alone the land-based bases." The fee for standing training is calculated based on one point and five hours."
"hehe."
Li Hai stood up suddenly, pointed at the two J-6s in the distance, and said excitedly, "The party is for the people! Take a good look! Take a good look at those two J-6s that have withstood the wind and rain over the years! How beautiful they are. The loneliness and coldness! Can you bear to watch them being dragged to the steel factory and then melted into molten iron? Don’t you want them to have a happy ending! Even if the final result is to be melted into molten iron, don’t you want these people to have a happy ending? Will the two veterans have an unforgettable old age! How can you be so hard-hearted!"
"Damn it! Give me a thumbs up! You're spitting on people with your shit in your mouth! Okay, as long as you can fly, I don't have a problem with it! Okay!"
"That's pretty much it. Let's go find Deputy Chief of Staff Wu Guangwei..."
"Damn Li Hai, you are a dog, your dog face turns so fast!"
"Fuck you uncle!"
