As May enters, the maximum daytime temperature in the Beiku area has risen to more than ten degrees Celsius, but the lowest temperature at night is still around minus five degrees Celsius, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.

When Li Zhan was driving the No. 02 Su-27sk heavy fighter jet at Nankuchang Station, Niu Yaoyang and Miaoyu metropolitan team were already waiting on the apron. Under the roar of the al-31f engine, the empty Nankuchang Station

Finally a trace of vitality came.

Shi Zezhong, Nanku Station, is also looking forward to the apron.

Beiku Station has been reorganized and upgraded to a combat training base, and most cadres have been promoted on site. This temptation is really irresistible. In any case, Nanku Station is also one of the stations of the 101st Brigade and deserves the same treatment.

.It is becoming more and more important to establish a good relationship with Li Zhan, who is highly prestigious and influential in the 101st Brigade.

Today is May Day, the third day after the southwest modified J-10a team of the Eagle Falcon Brigade was withdrawn from Beiku. The 101 Brigade received an order from the military air force duty room, requiring a fighter jet to be dispatched to support the local area in carrying out a special mission - assisting the farm

Spray pesticides on cotton fields.

After Xue Xiangdong asked his superiors that day, the Air Force issued an order that afternoon, ordering all the pilots trained by the Eagle Falcon Brigade of the 101st Brigade to return to the Beiku combat training base to resume normal training. As for whether the J-10a is still modified, the Air Force has no clear result.

However, everyone knows that when I come back this time, the Eagle Falcon Brigade basically has no chance with the J-10, so everyone sighed that the J-10 is really the captain's unicorn. Once it is combined, something happens, and it is a big deal.

Li Zhan strongly suggested that he would take the initiative to propose returning to Beiku because he was keenly aware of some major environmental factors that had positive changes. One of his most powerful judgments was that the Air Force would most likely replace all the 101st Brigade with the J-11b.

The second-generation aircraft. His basis is very simple - the senior brother of Cheng Lockheed Horse's test flight fourth-generation aircraft told him that Shen Huoyi solved the problem of domestic Th-engine.

As far as Li Zhan knows, because the engine development progress showed an unexpected lag, Shen Huoyi had a large number of engine-deficient bodies. In other words, as long as the engine is in place, Shen Huoyi can deliver it in a very short time.

Dozens of fighter jets in the army.

No one knows better what kind of aircraft the Eagle Falcon Brigade and even the 101st Brigade need more than Li Zhan. Although he personally likes the J-10 villain, he must admit that the heavy double-engine long-engine like the J-11 is

Range fighter jets are the best choice for the 101st Brigade, which has a vast jurisdiction.

Therefore, he clearly expressed his attitude and suggestions to Xue Xiangdong from two angles.

The third factor is the intervention of the Eagle Division of the Water City, and the impact is on the table and there is no need to analyze it.

Based on this, proactive requests to withdraw are more in line with the future development of the 101 Brigade than staying in a kind station to entangle.

After returning to the Beiku War Training Base, Li Zhan immediately took a day of ideological education to restore his low morale. The training of the Eagle Falcon Brigade quickly recovered, but May Day was a legal holiday, and the Eagle Falcon Brigade was also rested.

In order to give the soldiers a good rest, Li Zhan decided to fly the plane himself to carry out the task of assisting the local pesticide spraying. He was really not for the little bit of lever fee.

"Stationmaster Shi, the disaster is so serious that the troops need to be dispatched to support?" Li Zhan first saluteed after getting off the plane, and asked Shi Zezhong directly.

Shi Zezhong returned the favor and said, "It's very serious, Team Li, let's talk while walking."

Li Zhan signaled him to wait a moment, walked over and talked to Niu Yaoyang and Miao Yu, "This is Chief of Staff Yang Jinshan's landline, you can do it well."

His No. 01 Su-27sk fighter jet is gone, and he can only drive someone else's to perform missions. Yang Jinshan went out to participate in the training class, so he took Yang Jinshan's landline to use it first. The body does not have much lifespan, but it is better than before 01

The situation with the number su-27sk is better.

Miao Yu said, "Captain, as long as you drive leisurely, there will be no problem."

"Where can I drive pesticides? How can I drive it? This fighter jet is a test of its ability to spread pesticides." Li Zhan shook his head helplessly and said.

Niu Yaoyang said, "It's okay. I can do it in two or three hours when I wait for the place to send a sprayer. Su Liangqi's low-altitude performance is completely competent."

"It's still too fast. It's the most suitable way to do this small propeller plane," said Li Zhan.

Miao Yu said, "The local agricultural aircraft are running at full capacity, otherwise they would not seek help from the troops. I heard that the Land Aviation Brigade also had to draw planes out to help. The cotton land in the Beiku area is too big.

”

"You guys take it seriously."

Li Zhan waved his hand and explained a few words, walked over and got on the commuter car with Shi Zezhong and went to the infield.

On the car, Shi Zezhong said seriously, "The Beiku area is an important cotton planting area. This year's planting area reaches tens of millions of mu, equivalent to half of the area of ​​the capital city, mainly concentrated in the south of our Nanku Station, the basin

In the south, that is, the area south of Wulun Lake, most of them are farms, and a small number are planted by ordinary people. May and June of each year are important times for pest control, so how insect control work directly affects the harvest in September and October.

So the place is paid more attention to.”

"But this year's situation was very sudden. The pests broke out almost overnight, and then spread at an extremely fast speed, which caught everyone off guard. Last night, the Land Aviation Brigade dispatched twelve helicopters to assist the local area in spraying pesticides.

, but the water drops."

Li Zhan interrupted Shi Zezhong's words, "Wait, Stationmaster Shi, the twelve helicopters of the Land Aviation Brigade have gone up and have a glass of water. What's the use of a mere fighter plane?"

"Fighters are fast and have to race against time. The shorter the time, the less the loss will be," said Shi Zezhong.

Li Zhan shook his head silently, "That's not what it is. There is a speed requirement for spraying pesticides. If the speed is fast, the pesticides will evaporate before they reach the ground. What's the use of faster?"

He doesn't know how to spray pesticides, but he knows that any weapon is used to have requirements for flight altitude, speed, etc., and it is not something you can do whenever you shoot. For example, the yj-91 air-to-ground missile, you want to let the missile fire.

The farthest thing is that it must be launched at a prescribed high speed, such as 12,000 meters, which cannot be higher or lower.

All have strict operating requirements.

You launch air-to-air missiles under ten overloads. Even if you lock in the enemy plane, the missile cannot hit the enemy plane, because the missile either cannot be fired or it will disintegrate soon after it is fired, because it is added to the missile.

The overload exceeds the design value!

"This... I don't understand it very much if you talk to local agricultural experts later." Shi Zezhong said, "The situation reported by the local government is very serious and critical. If this war with pests cannot be won, the entire Beiku

The region's cotton production this year will be devastating."

In fact, the leaders of the 101st Brigade did not know much about the situation. They received an order from their superiors to send excellent pilots to fly the Su-27sk to the Nanku Station to assist the local area in completing the pesticide spraying task. There was no other way.

The content is here.

Nankuchang Station is only tens of kilometers away from the millions of acres of cotton planting areas to the south. Local agricultural experts have already arrived here and are waiting for Li Zhan to arrive.

In the only two-story building of the station, a section chief and three agricultural professionals from relevant local departments were already waiting anxiously. The scope of pests has been expanding, and for them time is calculated in hours, which is simply

A forest fire fighting battle against agricultural pests is very urgent.

"The pilot is here, this is our best pilot, Captain Li Zhan and Li." As soon as he entered the conference room, Shi Zezhong introduced.

Li Zhan saluted them, "I learned that the situation was urgent, what should I do?"

The section chief, who was about to greet, was not very adapted to the style of the army, and was embarrassed. However, the oldest agricultural expert with white hair simply said, "Captain Li, I want to open a insect-proof belt in the shortest time.

, Time is very tight.”

The map has been laid on the conference table.

Li Zhan didn't even put down his flying helmet, but he clamped it under his ribs, put the removed white labor protection gloves into his pocket, and walked over directly.

The agricultural expert pointed to a straight line drawn from east to west on the map and said, "From the east to the south of Shuihe, we must urgently open an isolation belt about two kilometers wide, and in all cotton fields where there is no pest.

Cut it out and isolate the parts that have already appeared."

"Similar to fire protection belt?" Li Zhan suddenly understood the reason why he was asked to drive a fighter plane.

The entire isolation belt is a cutting line from the east of Dubeiku to the southern part of Shuihe. The whole site is about 700 kilometers. It requires low-altitude flight throughout the journey. Except for the Su-27sk, no fighter can fly two round trips, and agricultural aircraft

It is even more impossible, and the helicopters of the Land Aviation Brigade cannot do it.

"That's right." said the agricultural expert solemnly, "The isolation belt about two kilometers wide is subjected to saturation spraying at a height of 144 meters, and it will take two rounds and rounds."

The entire journey is about 150 meters low, and the maximum range of the su-27sk will not exceed 1,700 kilometers, which means that it will be enough, and there must be a redundant amount of about 200 kilometers. The two round trips are 2,800 kilometers.

Hundred kilometers means that Li Zhan needs to land and refuel.

No wonder the superiors designated the Su-27sk to come over. Apart from this long legs, no fighter in the active fighter can only land and refuel once to complete such a special spray mission.

In addition, the minimum allowable speed of the su-27sk is 200 km/h, which is also an advantage of spraying pesticides. Even if you are not a professional, you know that agricultural aircraft and helicopters are basically impossible to spray pesticides at speeds greater than 200 km/h.

It is estimated that the performance of the aircraft has been submitted to the agricultural experts, indicating that the su-27sk is competent, otherwise such a plan would not be formulated.

Li Zhan looked carefully at the map dedicated to the agricultural department. Most of the ones marked on it were agricultural planting areas, which were different from ordinary maps and military maps.

He frowned and asked, "Has the pest spread from the water river to the east of the North Cube?"

This is definitely a big event, and it is not an exaggeration to pay attention to it.

However, the agricultural expert shook his head and said, "No, it's just this area south of Wulun Lake. But in order to be foolproof, the superiors requested to expand the defense scope and urgently spray the cotton planting areas in the entire Beiku area. The purpose of our establishment of the isolation belt is to

First control the scope of the pest, and then further spray the pest area with treatment. Captain Li, in addition to you, we also requested the helicopter troops to help us spray the isolation belt for the second targeted spray, and on the ground

We mobilized tens of thousands of people to spray carpet style from the isolation belt to the south, and resolutely won the battle to defend cotton!"

Li Zhan was shocked. Isn’t this a saturated rescue?

He had noticed that all the pest areas were marked in red. Judging from the map, it was just a small area south of Wulun Lake, so there was no need to mobilize such a large number!

Perhaps seeing Li Zhan’s doubts, the agricultural expert explained, “This pest erupted very suddenly, and this situation has not happened in previous years. The most important thing is that it spreads very quickly and has greatly damaged cotton.

Our experts are speeding up the research and analysis, but it is certain that our drugs are effective against these pests. The superiors' instructions require that the scope of the pest should be controlled at all costs, eliminate the threat of pests in the shortest time, and reduce the maximum amount of the pests to the greatest extent.

The property losses of the people.”

Li Zhan couldn't help but look at the agricultural experts a few more times, and spoke like more officials than technical experts.

The section chief coughed and said, "Sitemaster Shi, Captain Li, this is Deputy Director Zhong of the Research Institute of our Regional Agriculture Bureau."

Deputy Director Zhong looked ashamed, "We were not doing our job properly. This sudden pest was indeed unable to deal with it in time, so we asked the comrades in the army to provide help."

"Director Zhong, my plane's theoretical minimum speed can reach 200 kilometers per hour, but that is already close to the envelope. If the speed is higher, will it affect the spraying effect?" Li Zhan is more concerned about how to complete the task well

.

Deputy Director Zhong said, "As long as it does not exceed 250 kilometers per hour, it will not have a great impact on the spraying effect. We have already considered the redundancy when formulating the route plan. However, the flight route must be fully implemented.
