Chapter 331 A poor country’s version of the Elephant Walk
2 p.m.
Target training officially begins.
Jiang Chen was the last one to appear, just like in the morning.
But it was different from the morning.
In the afternoon, seven aircraft will form a combat group and take off one after another.
After arriving in the target airspace, they will take turns completing their own target training.
Just when Jiang Chen and the other six people were about to leave the flight briefing room and go to the physical examination room next door for a pre-flight physical examination, Liang Zhenghong stopped him again, "Jiang Chen, wait a minute, I have something to say to you."
The other six team members saw this.
His movements couldn't help but become a little slower.
Their curiosity seemed to be aroused again.
Jiang Chen sat back again.
He raised his head and looked at Liang Zhenghong with curiosity.
"I just talked about some basic technical tips for shooting ground targets. Did you understand them?" Liang Zhenghong asked.
Jiang Chen nodded and answered honestly, "I basically understand."
"I was grounded when I was at the main campus some time ago. When I had something to do, I would either go to the library to find books to read, or go to the computer room to check information, so my theoretical knowledge about rockets hitting ground targets is pretty solid."< br>
Liang Zhenghong had no doubt that he was there.
He nodded to him and said, "Well, you are a mess in other aspects, but I still approve of your studiousness and diligence."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
Do you recognize studiousness and diligence?
Don’t you even recognize your talent?
"But you have to remember that theory is theory and practice is practice." Liang Zhenghong added, "So when it's your turn later, don't be reckless, fight if you can, and pull up if you can't."
"And today is your first time shooting live ammunition at a ground target. I don't expect you to hit the target, but you must ensure your own safety."
He saw Jiang Chen wanting to speak.
He immediately raised his hand and stopped him.
He continued, "I know that your results in flying the simulator for ground target shooting in the past two days have been pretty good, and you have basically achieved full marks. However, if the simulator dies, you can restart it. If you crashed today, you will not be able to start over again. Opportunity, do you understand? ”
Jiang Chen didn't show any signs of impatience.
Instead, he listened carefully to Liang Zhenghong's nagging.
Then he nodded and said, "I understand."
"As long as you understand, go and prepare."
Complete the pre-flight physical examination.
The seven 'Team' members and seven instructors were all wearing light blue flight suits and anti-German suits, holding flight helmets and hurried to the tarmac.
The tarmac is now packed to the brim.
Seven J-8 trainer aircraft are lined up.
Next to these seven Jiao-8 trainer aircraft, there are two rocket launcher nests and two ammunition boxes.
Opposite the seven J-8 trainer aircraft, two Y-5 transport aircraft were ready and ready to taxi out of the tarmac and take off.
The two Y-5 transport aircraft no longer tow empty targets.
Instead, he acts as a ‘photographer’.
Jiang Chen and Liu Yun arrived at the Jiao-8 training aircraft numbered 'Dongguai', and immediately a ground crew came up to them with a live ammunition list, "Instructor Liu, this is the live ammunition list. There are two 90mm rocket launch nests. And 14 90mm rockets, what do you think?”
Liu Yun took a look at the live ammunition list.
He looked up at Jiang Chen and said, "You click, I'll go around the plane to check."
Jiang Chen immediately stepped forward.
First, I looked at the two 90mm rocket launch nests.
Then he opened two more ammunition boxes and counted 14 rockets.
The quantity is confirmed.
"No problem."
Jiang Chen saw that Liu Yun had finished checking around the machine and immediately said to him.
Liu Yun saw this.
He took the pen handed over by the ground crew and signed his name on the live ammunition list.
After Jiang Chen also signed and confirmed.
With the help of the ground crew, the two people climbed onto the boarding ladder and got into the cockpit.
Not a moment later.
Under the command of the tower, the seven J-8 trainer aircraft slid off the apron one by one.
The seven J-8 trainer aircraft arrived at the takeoff waiting area at the end of the runway.
Look from afar.
Seven planes lined up. It’s a poor country’s version of an elephant strolling.
Very shocking.
Not a moment later.
The first J-8 trainer aircraft began to taxi and rushed into the runway at lightning speed.
It slid over about 700 meters thick.
The nose of the plane was pulled up.
Soaring into the blue sky.
Then the second plane, the third plane, and the fourth plane
Jiang Chen took the photo at the back.
When it was his turn, there was nothing in front of him.
"'Qianzhong Donkey' is ready to take off."
When he heard the tower controller's voice coming from the communication channel, Jiang Chen immediately turned on the afterburner, lowered the baffle, and released the brakes without any hesitation
The J-8 trainer aircraft immediately made a deafening roar.
Like a wild horse running wild.
Start running wildly on the track.
More than four hundred meters later.
When the plane's speed reached v1 decision speed, Jiang Chen immediately pulled up the nose of the plane.
More than two minutes later.
He caught up with six other aircraft that had completed their combat formation in the air.
Form a group of three in the front and four in the back.
Howling and flying towards the established airspace.
The airspace for shooting ground targets is still in No. 3 airspace.
The ground target is set on a prominent hillside.
It was a junior student from the Maintenance Brigade who drove more than 100 kilometers this morning to the designated area to set up a target area.
The bull's-eye of the ground target is a circle thirty meters in diameter.
It is formed by sprinkling a large amount of lime on the ground.
It feels huge when a person stands on the bullseye.
But if you look down from the air, it is just a small dot.
If it is a military unit, the diameter of the target's bullseye is about fifteen meters.
Because the ‘team’ is all rookies who have not yet fledged.
So the diameter of thirty meters is just right.
In the afternoon, Liang Zhenghong personally took command from the tower.
When he saw the seven J-8 trainer aircraft on the screen, they were only more than 20 kilometers away from the target airspace.
He immediately took the intercom and said, "Attention, all planes, you are about to enter the target airspace and can enter the target shooting session. Pay attention to the attack route."
"The winged tiger received it." Captain Zhang Yong answered first.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Zhigao's voice immediately sounded on the communication channel, "Haitongqing received it."
"Raptor received."
"Golden Eagle received."
"Falcon received."
"California condors received.".
Several other team members also responded one after another.
After everyone finished speaking, Jiang Chen immediately said, "I received it from Qianzhong Donkey."
When he heard the words 'Qianzhong Donkey', Liang Zhenghong's face suddenly showed a hint of hesitation.
He whispered in a low voice, "This kid is really a genius at naming."
"The winged tiger is the first to go, Hai Dongqing is ready," Liang Zhenghong said again.
Zhang Yong, who had long been unable to hold himself back, heard this.
Immediately agreed, "The winged tiger received it."
Then he suddenly pulled the nose of the plane up and continued to gain altitude.
Immediately afterwards.
He pushed the lever down again.
While the nose of the aircraft is pointing down, the fuselage tilts slightly to the right.
However, Zhang Yong did not lock fire immediately.
Instead, he stretched his head and glanced at the ground.
The first thing he had to do was not to fire blindly, but to determine the specific location of the target.
