The Boyd cycle, which is one of the main operational ideas of the "Research on Air Combat Attack", is no different from the theoretical significance of energy maneuver, and belongs to Li Fu's "teaching and meal".

If you want to win, you can't face it in the traditional way, you have to change your thinking.

The first student continued to raise his hand and asked, "Uh, so what do we do?" How to execute this Boyd cycle. ”

"The Boyd cycle applies to any type of warfare, including ground battles and various battlefields, which is both a tactic and a strategic idea, in which we do not take the traditional long-plane decision, but whoever first discovers the enemy situation, executes the Boyd cycle to avoid delaying the fighter."

Zhou Hai looked at everyone and said softly: "There is another situation, the other party also adopts the Boyd cycle theory, in this case, the process of executing this cycle between the two of us is fast and slow, we should complete a cycle as soon as possible, and interfere, prolong and interrupt the other party's cycle through external forces." ”

The most important function of the Boyd cycle is to shorten the reaction process, seize the fleeting battle, and then launch an effective attack on the enemy.

This operational thinking belongs to the mainstream operational thinking adopted by the air forces of various countries in contemporary times, and belongs to the strategic thinking of John Boyd, a great star in the aviation industry.

This cycle can be applied to both tactics and strategy, and any operational link can be applied to this cycle.

"I don't understand ......," another student of the normal system, a little embarrassed, whispered.

"I'll tell you more about it later." Zhou Hai smiled politely at the student.

Li Guanfeng already understood, and thought to himself: "How can we interfere, prolong or interrupt the other party's cycle through external forces?" ”

"If the Russian cadet team does not carry out the Boyd cycle, then are we ahead of the curve?" Another student with top talent said.

"In the whole cycle process, adjustment is the most critical step, if the enemy or our side has a wrong judgment of the external threat, and the information about the surrounding environment and the enemy situation are wrongly understood, then it will lead to the wrong direction adjustment, and finally make the wrong decision."

Zhou Hai looked around at everyone with his eyes, and said with a straight face: "In the multi-plane formation, we have disadvantages in quantity and quality, so we can make a fuss about the superiority of operational information." ”

"Making a fuss?" Li Guanfeng perked up: "How to do it, talk about it." ”

"The two sets of plans, based on different situations, first, the other side does not know the Boyd cycle, so that we have the lead, after discovering the formation of enemy aircraft, make correct and effective adjustments, and decide what attack methods and actions to take."

Zhou Hai said slowly: "Second, the other party understands the Boyd cycle, the two sides are equal, we can adopt a decoy feint tactic, send one or two as bait, so that Maozi, who occupies a numerical advantage, divides part of the force to crash and enter the encirclement, and our hidden main aircraft group will immediately cooperate with the decoy to annihilate this force and reduce the gap between the two sides." ”

"How can our main fleet hide?" The first normal system student asked.

Zhou Hai pointed upward: "Ancient tactics, sunshine." ”

"Sunshine?" The other student was a little confused.

This room is full of big guys, and tactical terms and simulated words emerge in an endless stream, and they speak well, but they are incomprehensible.

"Tomorrow's weather forecast is sunny, and we can use sunlight tactics to cover our main aircraft group, which is how the British attacked the Germans in the North African theater during World War II." Li Guanfeng was slightly helpless and explained slowly.

"Why doesn't the other party Maozi go all out? Formation of all aircraft in direct pursuit? Another student with top talent wondered.

Zhou Hai looked at the two normal system trainees and said slowly: "Because they are too proud and too confident, we have two brothers' skills, which are not very good. ”

Hearing Zhou Hai's words, the two of them were a little embarrassed.

Wang Fei, the candidate for the long pilot, had a serious face: "The flying skills of the bait must be excellent, it can successfully lure the other side, and it can escape, otherwise, the bait may be eaten." ”

"So, I want to be in charge of this decoy mission." A smile appeared on Zhou Hai's face: "My hatred value is relatively large. ”

As these words fell, everyone present immediately turned their eyes to Zhou Hai.

"You? Brother, you are the most ...... of us here" The first normal system student hurriedly said, but as he spoke, something suddenly came to mind.

Li Guanfeng sighed softly: "Are you sure? Questions? ”

Indeed, among the entire base cadet team, only Zhou Hai has a greater hatred value, and today he was officially warned and punished for having a bad influence in international competitions and violating military discipline.

"You think a warning will defeat me?"

Zhou Hai shook his head with a smile, his eyes lit up with a strong color of confidence: "Besides, I can still fly, can't I?" ”

My heart is as firm as iron, and I will never waver!

Although he was a little aggrieved and sad today, after thinking about it a few times, Zhou Hai still chose to work hard and compete for that glory.

What is a trivial warning sanction?

Not expulsion from the military,

Not to mention dismissal on the spot.

Psychological breakdown?

No, he's not so vulnerable.

It's just a minor setback.

The August 1st badge inlaid in the military hat and the military uniform on his body did not allow him to play petty and lose his temper.

Of course, as for why he can still fly after taking a warning, this touches Zhou Hai's knowledge blind spot.

"The situation in air warfare is changing rapidly, and it is impossible for the enemy to do what we say, do our best, and obey the destiny of heaven. Zhou Hai smiled.

Li Guanfeng nodded: "Okay, you continue to talk about the Boyd cycle, and we will all study it in depth." ”

"I'll talk about another tactic, to have a high advantage, combined with the Boyd cycle ......"

It was late at night, cold and eroded, but it was hot in Bedroom 101.

……

Following.

The weather forecast is not biased, but very accurate.

The sun is shining, the weather is clear, and layers of white clouds of different shapes are distributed over the base.

As the most critical place for the flight cadet competition between the two countries, the free air battle officially began.

The figures of the principal and General Mao Zi reappeared, standing on the rostrum, and the supreme commander and political commissar of the base, as well as Li Fu and other flight instructors, were also present.

Base, tarmac.

Twelve Russian students and eight base students were divided into two teams and stood on the tarmac.

The Russian participants were full of expectations and high morale, and their own students still had the solemn atmosphere of yesterday.

The base officers and Russian officers who served as referees stood in the apron area, next to a military computer and an antenna, responsible for receiving information about the game.
