Chapter 351: The Danger of Night Flying!
"Received on the 2nd."
"Received on the 3rd."
"Received on the 4th."
In an instant, the response of the students of each machine came out of the encrypted communication channel, and the remaining thirteen Falcon led by No. 109 spread out to keep a safe distance, and quickly raised their heads and climbed to an attack height of one thousand meters.
The predetermined target in the distance was already in view, and the four Type 59 medium tanks with damaged hull structures were quietly parked, the surface was rusty, and the 100-mm tank gun was twisted and deformed, losing its original sturdy appearance.
These four Type 59 vehicles produced in the late fifties of the last century, after the service period expired, they were retired from active combat sequence, and were sent to this military restricted area, standing in the center of the shooting range, and exerting the residual heat of the life journey.
A collision between steel and steel!
"Whoosh!"
As the relative distance between the two sides continued to shrink, the 14 Falcon Gaojiao of the special group of aircraft in the attack formation launched a fierce fire attack on the ground shooting range, and one after another deadly 'Sky Arrow' 90-millimeter rockets poured out like a torrential rain, forming a dense and deadly fire network, covering the four tanks in the central area of the target point.
In the target area, fire clouds rose, and a shock wave containing high energy hit the surroundings, and countless metal shrapnel spread everywhere, dust, and turned into a forbidden area of life in an instant.
"Report to the command aircraft, the fire strike is over, please instruct." The seven-barreled rocket launchers mounted on the wings were empty, and Zhou Hai called out to Lin Jian, who was in charge of the invigilation.
Lin Jian, who stayed in the J-10A drop-shaped cockpit, carefully watched the fourteen falcons flying smoothly, looked at the fire strike on the ground, nodded, and issued a new order: "The formation low-altitude penetration strike assessment has been successfully completed, all members have passed, and the special training aircraft group will return to rest and prepare for the low-altitude penetration assessment at night." ”
"No. 1 received, all planes in the special training group, and No. 14, the rightmost one, turned around to the right and returned first." After receiving the order from the command plane, Zhou Hai responded and immediately conveyed instructions to each aircraft, stepped on the rudder with the lever, and assumed the responsibility of leading the aircraft.
Under normal circumstances, the group needs to be turned in an orderly manner, from left to right, or from right to left.
Of course, if it is a real state of engagement, the fighter in a state of free fire will not care about the usual position and order.
Yang Zhigang, a HNA student who controlled the No. 14 Falcon Higher Education, hurriedly responded: "Received on the 2nd." There was a deep sense of exhaustion in the words.
A 300-kilometer high-speed low-altitude penetration flight consumes more physical strength than an armed 10-kilometer off-road.
Fortunately, all the trainees successfully completed the formation low-altitude penetration strike assessment, which can be regarded as a good start.
From the No. 14 Falcon on the far right, the other training planes followed, and then the special training aircraft group that completed the mission, accompanied by Lin Jian and the remaining three J-10A pilots, turned around and returned to the Quzhou base.
Fourteen falcons landed in a two-plane formation, which is particularly difficult for ordinary high school instructors, and then, except for Zhou Hai, a group of physically and mentally tired trainees were confirmed to be correct after routine basic examinations by aviation doctors, and then went to the air service stove to eat and replenish energy.
After doing all this, everyone took advantage of the short afternoon rest to recover a lot of physical strength and energy.
As for Zhou Hai, he was alive and kicking like a nobody, under the watchful eyes of a group of trainees, he followed the base maintenance and ground crew, stealing the maintenance of the J-10A fighter, and watching this domestic third-generation main fighter up close.
Everyone was tired, Zhou Hai was busy studying, and the two sides formed a sharp and special contrast.
……
Time passed, and it was nine o'clock in the evening.
A gentle breeze blows away the heat that envelops the base.
At this time, the pitch-black apron area of the base was brightly lit, and the yellow lights on the top of the fourteen aprons were flashing.
The difficulty of this subject is more than one and a half points higher than that of low-altitude penetration strikes during the day.
Due to the influence of environmental factors such as weak light at night, the visual distance and visibility of the human eye have dropped sharply, and the brain is relatively slow to respond at night, and the ability to process information is slightly poor.
Even modern fighters with perfect detection equipment and night flight capabilities, in the context of modern air warfare that emphasizes all-weather operations, many pilots of various countries are also apprehensive about night flight.
During the night flight, every pilot student could not believe his own eyes, but could only trust the fighter under him, the aircraft design team, and the correct terrain data provided by the airborne avionics system.
Of course, this definitely does not include Zhou Hai.
Not only do the eyes have excellent vision, they can easily see things about the size of smartphones from tens of kilometers away, and in the dark environment, they only need a faint light to clearly observe the target object regardless of the negative impact of the environment.
The faint light is available in a variety of ways, and in addition to the eternal stars, the moonlight and the city light can be refused.
Such eyes and abilities make Zhou Hai feel like a fish in water in night flight training, and even in close-range combat air combat, without feeling the slightest difficulty - when he defeated the Japanese student White Eagle on the night shift for the first time, he was able to defeat the opponent in 30 seconds, in addition to his superb flying skills, these eyes contributed a lot.
You must know that visual search for enemy aircraft to obtain information is an important part of the ability to perceive the situation, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as crucial.
The night sky is full of stars, the bright moon is like a hook, and the sky is full of silver.
The quiet and peaceful Quzhou base once again fell into the hustle and bustle.
One after another, the Falcon Gaojiao and J-10A, which were filled with internal fuel tanks and loaded with ground attack weapons, took off one after another, and under the combined navigation of Beidou satellite navigation and inertial navigation, they carried out difficult low-altitude penetration strikes at night.
As the first comprehensive score of the special training trainees, Zhou Hai still serves as the leader of the aircraft, and the safety distance between the aircraft in the group has been increased from 30 meters to 60 meters, which has directly doubled.
As a matter of fact, if it weren't for the fact that the special training in air combat requires as close to actual combat as possible and a high degree of realism, the vast majority of flight cadets would be eager to raise the safety distance to the level of 100 meters, even if they already have experience in flying through defense at night several times, and even the trainees on night duty would still be able to rush to the eastern seas to start a life-and-death confrontation with the Japanese cadets.
The danger of night flying has never diminished!
"Each machine reports its own situation in real time, and if there are any abnormalities and problems, please report them immediately."
Zhou Hai clenched the joystick, stared at the familiar landscape under the darkness of the night in front of him, and gave instructions to the special training aircraft group.
