The relocation and defense work of the 107th Brigade is proceeding in an orderly manner.
This work is not accomplished overnight, but is carried out in batches. First, the vanguard team passes, then the second batch, the third batch, and the fourth batch until the defense is completely moved.
Chen Fei was in the second batch.
If Li Yunfei is still in the brigade, then Chen Fei will be either the first or the last group to arrive at the station, but he is the only one at this time, so he must go in the second group, not too early or too late, too early
It's too late. He has to take charge of many tasks of old 107. It can't be done without him. It's too late, and the work of the new station cannot be done without him.
107The place we went to this time was called Dongchang.
Chen Fei had never heard of this place name before.
When he knew that the place they were going to was called Dongchang, he hurriedly opened a map and searched carefully, but there was no mark on the ordinary map at all. That area was too desolate and empty, and it was usually uninhabited.
Yes, such small place names were not marked on the map at all, so he had to find another way. He asked his superiors for a large-scale military map and looked through it carefully before he found the place.
From a strategic point of view, it is indeed an important place, especially for the air force, it is a top priority. Stationed there, it can attack when advancing and defend when retreating, which is equivalent to holding a choke point.
But the natural environment there is too harsh, completely different from the lush green scene where the 107th Brigade was stationed before.
On this day, the moving aircraft landed steadily at Dongchang Station.
Chen Fei and others filed out of the plane.
"Political Commissar——" Wang Defeng, the captain of the maintenance brigade, jogged up, snapped to attention, and saluted.
Wang Defeng was the first group of people to arrive here.
When he set off from his old station, his face was red and refreshed, but now standing in front of Chen Fei, it was like a different person, with a red nose and the color of ultraviolet light on his cheeks.
The man was dark, thin, and extremely haggard.
"Why are you like this?" Chen Fei was greatly surprised.
"Political Commissar, you are here!" Wang Defeng's nose felt sore and he almost cried. It seems that he has suffered a lot here during this period.
Chen Fei pursed his lips and patted him heavily on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, am I here?"
It took Wang Defeng a while to calm down. He said to Chen Fei: "Political Commissar, let me show you our new home first."
"Okay, let's take a look at our new home together."
Wang Defeng took Chen Fei around the new camp.
To be honest, the new camp in 107 is pretty good. They are all new barracks, neat and beautiful, but they are just too desolate, not very popular, and have no green scenery.
"Let's get more trees and flowers to plant in the future. It's so desolate like this!" Chen Fei walked around and said to himself.
"Political Commissar, it's too cold here to grow anything. The few plants I brought from my hometown froze to death the next day!"
"It's normal for those two succulent trees to freeze to death. I need to plant something cold-resistant here. I'll look for some suitable tree species when I have time later."
After walking around the new camp, Chen Fei returned to the agency building.
The government building is also newly renovated and is very beautiful. Whether viewed from a distance or up close, it gives people a pleasing feeling.
"Chief, the phone number of the military region." Yan Lijuan ran out and reported in a low voice.
"Military area?" Chen Fei was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly ran upstairs and picked up the phone.
Their superiors assigned them tasks.
The head of the military region sent four J-8s to their 107th Brigade.
This is the first time an air force has been stationed in this area.
Therefore, a lot of information is not yet available, which requires 107 to carry out relevant intelligence and reconnaissance work. Therefore, their superiors gave them four J-8s to help them complete this work.
"I really fell asleep when I hit the pillow!" Chen Fei hung up the phone and couldn't help but smile.
In his arrangement, the first plan was also to launch a large-scale reconnaissance work near the station, but the aircraft he originally planned to use was their own old J-8.
These Jianzhen Bali include optical reconnaissance and electronic reconnaissance. The types are very rich and enough for 107.
The J-8 is a high-altitude, high-speed tactical reconnaissance aircraft developed by our country based on the J-8 fighter, also known as the J-8R.
The J-8 is the only high-altitude and high-speed tactical reconnaissance aircraft currently in service in my country. It has always been relatively mysterious. It is said that in addition to the built-in modular reconnaissance pod, it can also use optical cameras, synthetic aperture radars, and external reconnaissance pods. cabin.
Military fans have always liked to call the J-8 aircraft the name "Beautiful Man in the Sky".
So why is he called the handsome man in the sky?
Modern fighter jets, in addition to their codenames, often have an appropriate nickname.
Before the 1970s and 1980s, our country's fighter jets basically had no nicknames.
The first fighter aircraft with an official nickname was the JH-7 "Flying Leopard" fighter-bomber. Later, our aircraft gradually had their own names, such as FC-1 "Fierce Dragon", J-10 "Raptor", J-10 "Flying Dragon", etc.
-15 "Flying Shark", J-20 "Vyron", etc.!
But among so many aircraft, if you want to find one with the most nicknames, it is undoubtedly our grandpa - the J-8 fighter jet!
In fact, the J-8 fighter does not have an official nickname. Whether it is the early J-8 (white), J-8I fighter, or the later J-8II series, including J-8B, D, F, H and other models, they are all
There is no officially assigned nickname.
The first name of the J-8 was given by NATO!
As we all know, NATO often had trouble figuring out the serial numbers of the Chinese and Soviet fighter planes at that time, so in order to call these fighters more conveniently, NATO began to give its own names to the Chinese and Soviet fighter planes.
The first domestically produced fighter aircraft to be named separately by NATO was the Qiang-5 attack aircraft, with the NATO code name "Fan Tan".
When the J-8 fighter appeared, NATO quickly discovered this domestic fighter. At first, it was thought to be an improved version of the MiG-21, but after a closer look, it was found that the single engine was changed to double engine, so the North-
Yue also gave the J-8 a new name - "Finfin Whale".
To be honest, the J-8 fighter fuselage is thicker than the MiG-21 and longer than the US F-14 heavy fighter. It really looks a bit like a huge fin whale in the sky.
But whether it is "Finfin Whale" or "Peace Pearl", they are all names given to our Eighth Master by foreigners, and it was not until the 1990s that the Eighth Master had a domestic name.
At that time, the J-8II fighter slowly began to be exposed to the public, and the media also began to cover it in a series of reports. Because the domestic fighter jets we had seen before were all copies of the MiG aircraft with air intakes in the nose, which is what ordinary people often call "flat-nosed" aircraft, suddenly
Seeing the sharp air intakes on both sides of the J-8II and its very handsome appearance, I don’t know which media used the title of "beautiful man in the sky". It spread to tens of thousands and became a folk rivalry against the J-8II.
It’s called a fighter!
And because the handsome man who was loved by everyone in China at that time was Cai Guoqing, military fans were also happy to call the J-8II "Cai Guoqing in the air."
The old 107 also has a few J-8s, but they are a bit old, and the various reconnaissance equipment are relatively outdated. Overall, the reconnaissance capabilities are limited. Therefore, this time, the superiors replaced the 107 brigade with four new J-8s at once.
reconnaissance aircraft.
There are many people in 107 who can fly J-8s, but some of them have not moved to the defense at this time, so there are not many people that Chen Fei can use. After thinking about it for a while, he finalized the list. For this reconnaissance mission, except for him,
Another one is Yang Feng, the captain of the First Flying Group, and the other two are from the Second Group and the Third Group.
Chen Fei called four people to the briefing room and told everyone about the mission.
"Chief, the route we want to reconnoiter this time is a bit long, and we don't know how to refuel in the air. What should we do?" Captain Yang Feng asked Chen Fei.
There are not many aircraft that can refuel in the air. At present, the fighter aircraft with the ability to refuel in the air include J-10, some models of J-8, SU-30MKK and J-16.
In theory, all pilots who can fly these fighters should have the ability to refuel in the air, but in fact only some pilots have it.
Not everyone is capable of aerial refueling, and 107 has never received relevant training. In fact, as far as the current Air Force is concerned, the proportion of pilots who can complete aerial refueling may not be even 30%!
Aerial refueling is a difficult and high-risk subject in the world. In order to engage in this subject, many pilots of the Air Force sacrificed their lives. The ones who survived to the end became special heroes. The difficulty and danger are evident.
Now, the reconnaissance that 107 wants to carry out is very far away, but the problem is that the J-8 can't fly very far.
"What should we do? Tell us?" Chen Fei asked the other two pilots.
But the two of them looked at me and I looked at you, neither of them knew how to answer.
