Chapter 121 Investigation Team Consisting of More than 50 People
While Xue Zhengrong and others were busy salvaging J-8F No. 81103, two J-8FRs belonging to the Air Force and two J-11Bs belonging to the Eighth Hai Division had already approached the airspace where Li Hai's accident occurred.
To be precise, after Li Hai reported the disengagement with RC-135V/W, Nanzhi immediately ordered the Nighthawk Reconnaissance Brigade stationed in Xi County to dispatch two J-8FR high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft to the scene to identify RC-135V/W.
The case of W.
When Li Hai reported the scene while escorting the bulk carrier "Jianjiang No. 1", that is, after Nanzhi issued "The scene is at your disposal", Nanzhi ordered Wang Xiaowei of the Eighth Hai Division to lead a team on Yongxingwang Island.
The J-10A twin aircraft formation rushed to the mission airspace to find out the situation.
These were all emergency arrangements made by Nanzhi after realizing that it was difficult to know the situation on the scene and with only one Le Hai fighter plane at hand.
Wang Xiaowei's formation soared over at Mach 1.5, and they had already reached the relevant airspace when Li Hai parachuted. The J-8FR two-plane formation further away directly soared at Mach 2, and after salvaging J-81103
At 8F, he appeared in the airspace where Li Hai was flying to monitor the RC-135V/W...
These flights will be reported to the Forgotten Reef tower. Therefore, after Zhan Yuntian, who was on duty at the tower, ran over and reported these situations to Xue Zhengrong, Xue Zhengrong was stunned for several minutes and could not say a word.
He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. It could even be said that he didn't know what kind of thinking and logic he should use to think about what happened tonight.
They were busy until 10:30 in the morning. Xue Zhengrong and others did not eat breakfast. They finally took out two key things - the flight parameter recorder and the cockpit recorder. The so-called flight parameter recorder is a black box, and the cockpit recorder
What is recorded is the video data of all the pilot's calls and control actions.
These two things are so critical. Fortunately, there was no major damage after the plane crashed. After a preliminary inspection of the two instruments, we concluded that there was no damage.
Le Hai's two missions were reconstructed entirely by these two instruments, which is more powerful and objective than Li Hai's own description!
Xue Zhengrong didn't bother to take a rest and led Li Yuanchao's maintenance team to immediately export the instrument's data. He had to find out what happened before the investigation team arrived.
According to the procedures, the investigation team will definitely be in place before sunset, and the special air condition investigation will never be delayed until the next day.
The 167th Independent Flying Group, which did not have the ability to analyze flight parameters, began to race against time.
At this time, elite troops and generals drawn from more than a dozen tactical and technical units, organized by leading agencies such as the Air Division, Maritime Division, War Division, Ship Division, and China Southern Airlines Headquarters, have assembled at the Xixian Station.
These people included senior pilots, political cadres, medical experts, factory technicians and other professional and technical personnel. They received the order at 4 a.m. and gathered from all directions in the west to the west of the Air Force in just three hours.
County station.
When Xue Zhengrong and others took out the two instruments, this huge investigation team had already completed its first coordination meeting and first preliminary analysis meeting at the Xixian Station.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, a Y-9 tactical transport aircraft took off from the Air Force's Xixian Field Station, carrying a large investigation team of more than 50 people and flew towards the Forgotten Reef Airport.
The members of the investigation team didn’t even bother to have lunch!
In the crew cabin, the investigators felt tired.
Some were discussing something loudly among themselves and making gestures from time to time. This was the senior pilots simulating the flying movements of the pilots involved; some were flipping through the thick documents on their laps, frowning and thinking from time to time.
This is a professional and technical personnel analyzing from the professional field based on the clues at hand; some of them close their eyes and relax, and make some habitual small movements from time to time, which is obviously in a thinking state. This is a political cadre thinking about how to carry out work based on their own responsibilities.
Investigative work...
There was one person who was quite special. He was sitting in the far corner, keeping a clear distance from the others. He folded his arms and didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly smiled and suddenly frowned, looking a little demented.
This person is a familiar face - Han Hongjun.
At this time, Han Hongjun, who was supposed to be studying in the "middle-aged class" of the Flying Sharks training team, suddenly appeared in the investigation team, which seemed very unexpected.
Even Zhang Sihai, the leader of the investigation team, didn't know the reason.
In order to ensure the fairness, impartiality and objectivity of the entire investigation, the Navy, Air Force and War Division jointly decided to invite Comrade Zhang Sihai, the commander of the Air Force 2 Division who has retired at home, to unify the command of the investigation work. The coordination will involve several
Relationships among the ten departments.
Zhang Sihai has a high prestige in the aviation force of the entire army. His old subordinates are all over the air force and many units of the naval aviation force. He has very rich experience.
It will be an investigation of a huge project, and Mr. Zhang must be responsible for it.
Zhang Sihai, who was sitting on an independent soft seat, had been observing Han Hongjun. When Han Hongjun looked over, he smiled and waved.
Han Hongjun was stunned and quickly untied his safety belt and took him away.
"Sit." Zhang Sihai asked Han Hongjun to sit on the edge.
"Chief, what are your instructions?" Han Hongjun lowered his head and said in awe.
Zhang Sihai, who was wearing a Type 87 Air Force camouflage uniform and major general's soft epaulettes, said with a smile, "You are Li Zhan's soldier, right?"
"Reporting to the chief, yes! My name is Han Hongjun. I am from the Western Falcon Brigade. I am also a part-time researcher at the Air Force Technical Research Institute. I am a soldier of Director Li." Han Hongjun replied quickly.
Zhang Sihai nodded slightly, "Li Zhan, this guy has a lot of titles. Was it Li Zhan's instruction that you join the investigation team?"
"This..." Han Hongjun hesitated.
Zhang Sihai said, "Li Zhan is my soldier."
Han Hongjun quickly replied, "Yes, Chief. Our Western Falcon Brigade has a group of pilots with rich practical experience. Director Li believes that I can provide some ideas for the investigation from a practical perspective, as well as some practical issues that cannot be supported theoretically."
action."
"I heard that the pilot in question was a close disciple of Li Zhan. Is this true?" Zhang Sihai suddenly asked.
Han Hongjun was very nervous, and his palms were sweating. Each of the old man's questions was more serious than the last. They seemed unrelated, but in fact, each question asked the most critical point.
"Chief, I really don't know about this..." Han Hongjun said with a grimace, "Director Li has neither admitted nor denied it, and there is no form of accepting disciples. It was only during an inspection at Feisha Base a few months ago.
, he personally taught Li Hai flying skills. You know, Director Li has not personally taught new recruits for a long time, so everyone thinks that Li Hai is Director Li’s close disciple..."
Zhang Sihai still had a smile on his face, tilted his head slightly, and said, "I came all the way from Feisha Base to find you. This Li Zhan is afraid that his beloved disciple will be wronged. This is because he doesn't believe me, old man!"
"Chief, please don't say that. Before the list of members of the investigation team was announced, Director Li didn't know you were the team leader, so how could he not trust you?" Han Hongjun explained quickly.
Zhang Sihai smiled and said, "What doesn't Li Zhan know? Is there anything he doesn't know?"
Han Hongjun was immediately speechless.
Yes, is there anything he doesn't know?
In fact, it is tacitly understood by everyone that Li Zhan is the most suitable person to be responsible for the investigation. He is the person with the most experience in air special operations and the most practical combat experience in the army, and he has high prestige in the army.
The reason why he would rather invite Zhang Sihai to come out than let Li Zhan take charge is probably because of the master-disciple relationship between him and Li Hai.
This is why Zhang Sihai’s first question was to ask whether the master-disciple relationship between Li Zhan and Li Hai was true.
In the words of the head of the War Department, asking Li Zhan to be responsible for the investigation would be useless. Just ask him to write an investigation report!
