The Eighth Hai Division prepared a J-11B heavy fighter for Li Hai. This fighter can imitate the J-15 to the greatest extent and is helpful for Li Hai's restorative training.
Li Hai once worked in the 167th Independent Flying Group of the 8th Hai Division for nearly a year and made significant contributions to the construction of the Musa Naval Air Station. Therefore, the leaders of the 8th Hai Division expressed their disapproval of Li Hai's visit to recover. He attaches great importance to sexual flight training and has specially arranged a support team to ensure his training.
Li Hai, who was no stranger to Shuilingchang Station, quickly got into the zone. After inspection, it was found that his physical condition fully met the flight requirements, and he took off on the same day.
He is very familiar with the J-11B. He flew this aircraft at the training base and also flew solo. He transitioned directly from this aircraft to the J-15. At that time, the carrier-based trainer aircraft was undergoing intensive pre-installation testing.
It can be said that Li Hai has always been dealing with the J-11 family, but has never been in contact with the J-10 family.
The Eighth Hai Division arranged for a J-10C to accompany the flight for safety. The pilot was the division chief of staff Liu Chengjun. He had previously commanded the unit to engage in a confrontation with the 167th Independent Flying Group. At that time, Li Hai was on the Musha Reef and was a member of the Red Army. Commander, the battle ended with the defeat of Liu Chengjun, who had advanced generation fighters, and the 167th Independent Flying Group became famous in the first battle.
Liu Chengjun saw Li Hai performing various maneuvers in the J-11B. He was deeply moved by his confidence, his proficient micro-operations, and his smooth movements.
This is the level achieved after not flying for two full months!
In fact, this is because Li Hai has not completely recovered his touch.
After about fifteen minutes, Li Hai regained his feeling. He adjusted his course and flew towards the outer sea. Liu Chengjun saw this and quickly followed.
Li Hai began to show his true skills.
After entering the open sea, he quickly arranged all the tactical maneuvers and air combat tactics he had learned into a set of coherent movements and started flying.
At the beginning, Liu Chengjun could keep up with the rhythm, but gradually he found it a bit difficult. By the final stage, Liu Chengjun could no longer see Li Hai. He had to turn on the airborne radar to track, but not long after, the airborne radar also lost trace of Li Hai.
At this time, the phased array radar deployed on the island was closely tracking Li Hai and continuously sent Li Hai's latest location to Liu Chengjun.
The good times did not last long, and even the phased array radar on the island lost traces of Li Hai.
This time, the tower at Shuilingchang Station became nervous. Something can’t happen, right?
He quickly called Li Hai, who replied that he was conducting an ultra-low-altitude penetration flight, that is, an ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming flight.
The radar department was shocked.
The troops often conduct ultra-low-altitude penetration flight training, and the land-based phased array radar station affiliated to the radar department can capture their signals, but now it has failed. The duty leader of the radar department was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Li Hai's operation was equivalent to pointing out their bug. Can you not be anxious?
Liu Chengjun was not that nervous. The biggest advantage of the ultra-low-altitude penetration flight tactic itself was that it could effectively avoid radar detection. Due to the curvature of the earth, even phased array radars were still not very effective against sea-skimming targets. Detection, but this refers to ship-based phased array radar, because the performance of ship-based phased array radar is limited by the platform, that is, the ship, and land-based phased array radar does not exist.
As far as the phased array radar station on the island is concerned, there has never been a case of losing an ultra-low-altitude flying target since its establishment. With its high power, long detection range, and high detection accuracy, even a small aircraft cannot escape these high-tech eyes. , they can even detect civilian drones over the islands, some of which are only as big as two palms.
Now, an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of more than 30 tons and the largest size among fighter jets has disappeared right before your eyes.
"Dongguai, please report your location." Shuiling Tower had no choice but to call Li Hai quickly.
Li Hai looked at the longitude and latitude numbers and reported them truthfully to the control tower.
The tower staff quickly found the area where the longitude and latitude numbers belonged, and were shocked!
Le Hai is already less than thirty kilometers away from the coastline!
After this news was synchronized to Liu Chengjun, Comrade Liu Chengjun, an experienced veteran pilot and chief of staff of the Eighth Hai Division, could no longer calm down and quickly went supersonic to chase Li Hai.
Everyone knew that it was already too late.
After two hours, Li Hai flew the plane and landed steadily at Shuilingchang Station. Five minutes later, Liu Chengjun landed. From Liu Chengjun down, the entire Shuilingchang Station, including the pilots who were following Li Hai's restorative flight training today, felt very heavy.
Li Hai was indeed just doing restorative flight training. In his opinion, his two-hour flight was a normal operation. However, in the eyes of Liu Chengjun and others, he inadvertently opened a canvas and let them see himself. actual combat level.
If Li Hai plays the role of an enemy plane, it means that Liu Chengjun's interception failed, and Liu Chengjun has been flying with him before and has been able to get the support of land-based radar. In this case, he can still lose the target. That is not a shame. So simple.
The superiors are going to put a big question mark on the combat effectiveness of Haiba Division.
The radar department is even more uncomfortable. They belong to a new type of force and are equipped with the most advanced land-based phased array radar in service. It is no exaggeration to say that they can even detect aircraft over the Malacca Strait. However, now a J-11B Using ultra-low-altitude penetration flight, they approached 30 kilometers away from the coastline. In fact, it was not until Li Hai pulled up to return that they re-captured the target...
A simple restorative training actually exposed the problems existing in the two troops, and it was also a fatal problem. No one expected this, including Li Hai himself.
In fact, after he got off the plane, he didn't even know what happened.
Back in the briefing room, the security personnel brought over afternoon tea and so on. Li Hai started eating and drinking. Not long after, Liu Chengjun arrived carrying a flight helmet.
"Chief of Staff, have afternoon tea." Li Hai stood up and greeted.
Liu Chengjun said "hmm".
Li Hai was startled, and saw that Liu Chengjun's face had neither a face nor a nose. He didn't know what happened, so he asked, "Chief of Staff, what happened?"
Liu Chengjun put down his flight helmet, looked at the dinner plate, and said, "This is an in-flight meal. People in Guangdong call it afternoon tea. This term is imported."
More serious? This was not like him, and Li Hai immediately realized that something was wrong.
"What happened?" Li Hai asked with concern.
Liu Chengjun looked at Li Hai, who was confused, and then said, "You don't know?"
"Me? I don't know!" Li Hai was even more puzzled.
Liu Chengjun frowned and asked, "You really don't know?"
Li Hai couldn't laugh or cry, "I really don't know!"
Liu Chengjun thought that the relevant information had not been reported to Li Hai, and he must not have known about it. Then he sat down slumped and sighed.
Something really happened, and it was not an ordinary thing. Thinking of this, Li Hai stopped eating and waited for Liu Chengjun to speak.
After a while, Liu Chengjun, who was in a depressed mood, said slowly, "You have made us and the radar department very passive."
"What's going on?" Li Hai was almost worried.
Liu Chengjun suddenly cheered up and asked, "Xiao Li, tell me honestly, have you prepared for today's flight for a long time? Are the flight subjects targeted?"
"What do you mean?" Li Hai was confused, "When I resume training, I just fly what I have learned. Normally it would take at least three hours to fly, but you said I would give you at most two hours today. I Just speed up, that’s all!”
Liu Chengjun asked again, "When did you start flying at low altitudes to penetrate defenses?"
Li Hai thought for a while and said, "After completing the air combat maneuvers."
"How did you penetrate the defense at low altitude?" Liu Chengjun asked closely.
Li Hai replied, "The dive descended to an altitude of fifteen meters. After flying at this altitude for ten minutes and approaching the sea, I lowered the altitude to ten meters and controlled the entire distance within ten meters."
When he was talking, he kept recalling the actions he had taken and self-examining whether there were any illegal flights. He repeated it several times and confirmed that there were no illegal flights. Only then did he feel relieved.
Liu Chengjun's eyes widened and he asked again, "What is the specific height?"
Li Hai paused and answered honestly, "Five meters. The height will be controlled at five meters throughout the rest of the journey. The weather will be calm and there will be no problem."
Liu Chengjun rolled his eyes like a dying fish.
Penetrating defenses at a height of five meters and at a low altitude, and at sea, this is risking one's life!
Li Hai saw something from Liu Chengjun's expression, and patiently explained, "Chief of Staff, the Western Falcon has been engaged in ultra-low-altitude penetration for eight years. Their standard is that five meters is excellent, and ten meters is excellent. Five meters is a passing grade, anything above fifteen meters is a failing grade.”
"I know." Liu Chengjun said in a deep voice, "The standards were set when Air Force God of War Li Zhan came to work in the Western Falcon Brigade. But you have to know that we are a naval aviation force, and the combat area is different from that of the Air Force."
Li Hai said, "Chief of Staff, their ultra-low-altitude penetration training area is a canyon..."
Liu Chengjun was shocked, his face full of disbelief.
This was not over yet, Li Hai added, "Moreover, they have a time limit. Not only can they pass if the height is low enough, they also require that they break into the designated position within the specified time..."
Liu Cheng's soldiers were stunned.
Li Hai said in a low voice, "I learned from them when I was conducting actual combat test flights of the J-16 in the northwest. I flew according to their standards. I just barely touched their passing line before retreating. Today I flew to strict standards. It is said that it is hovering on the passing line, and I haven’t flown for two months, so I don’t dare to take risks.”
Isn’t this an adventure? If it were an adventure, what kind of scenario would it be?
When the phased array radar re-locked on Li Hai, Li Hai had already entered within thirty kilometers of the coastline. At this distance, Li Hai could use long-range air-to-surface missiles to hit any target on the entire island!
In other words, if this was an interception, our side would be completely defeated!
It’s not without reason that the chief of staff of the dignified division is in such a low mood! (End of chapter)
