Chapter 591: A combat hero who upgraded two levels in a row
It can only be said that it is worthy of being a flight academy. The campus area is indeed a bit exaggerated for a university.
The open-top jeep went around and around on the internal road several times until the wind made Chang Haonan want to sneeze, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous building.
“Today, a superior leader came to inspect. If you go directly to the teaching area, there may be extra security. You have to get out of the car and walk in. It's too far there and it's inconvenient.”
Zhang Jiujiang explained while pushing open the car door:
"But they are about to finish class anyway. I will take you to my office to sit for a while, then go to the cafeteria to have a meal, and then ask their life teacher to contact your sister to come out."
“No problem, this is your territory, it's up to you.”
Chang Haonan, who was in the passenger seat, also got out of the car.
Since I haven't had much to do these past few days, I don't mind waiting a little longer:
“However, when superiors come to inspect your internal units in the army, they still need to set up security?”
He just recalled that when he entered, he didn't seem to find any signs such as Welcome to Guidance, and the sentry didn't seem to make any extra moves (of course, he still didn't know the other person's inner theater at that time).
Zhang Jiujiang's office is on the second floor, which is very convenient.
Chang Haonan noticed that there was a photo next to the other party's desk, but it was not a common family photo or travel photo. It was about this time last year when he, Zhang Jiujiang, Lu Yuying and others were in the J-7F Picture taken in front.
Secondly, the J-7F is, after all, the first model he built after his rebirth.
At present, the first batch of 24 units of this model should have been delivered to the Pakistan Air Force, and there seem to be small batch orders from other countries being scheduled later.
“Usually it's not necessary, but the situation is different today. You can see that there was no movement outside just now. It's just loose on the outside and tight on the inside…”
Chang Haonan picked up the tea cup, blew it gently, and then asked.
Although there is a bit of a coincidence.
However, Chang Haonan has indeed not paid attention to it for some days.
“It's a pity, otherwise we would have had the opportunity to shoot a beyond-visual-range missile, and we would have been able to brag about it when teaching students...”
Although the equipment of the Chinese Air Force has improved a lot compared to the previous generation, the main force today is still the J-6 and J-7, and it can be said that there are very few pilots who have fired medium-range bombs.
Zhang Jiujiang, who was walking next to him, replied somewhat vaguely:
Seeing that he didn't explain it more clearly, Chang Haonan also knew that the matter was finished here, so he didn't continue to ask more questions.
It wasn't until a steaming white porcelain cup was placed on the coaster in front of him that his mind was pulled away from the memories brought by the photo.
“By the way, Instructor Zhang, did you later participate in the test flight of the J-7F?”
“Of course, it doesn't really count as extra security. We just don't allow vehicles to enter, so as not to block the road and affect the journey.”
“You're talking about after that air show?”
Although it has only been a year, when I see this photo, I still feel a sense of illusion that time and space are intertwined.
“Sit down wherever you want and I'll get you something to drink.”
Zhang Jiujiang sat down on his office chair holding the same cup:
“I flew a few more target tests at the Dingxin base, with the 23mm cannon, as well as the PL-5II and PL-8. I haven't flown any other subjects. I was originally going to fly the PL-11, but the flight school's transfer order came in advance.”
First of all, too many things have happened in the past year.
While talking, the two of them had arrived at the door of a four-story office building.
It is still worth talking about.
Zhang Jiujiang had previously known through Lu Yuying that Chang Haonan had been deeply involved in the J-7F and even participated in the design of the J-10.
Although I still don't understand why one person can participate in the projects of both 601 and 611 in a short period of time, in short, I can talk about it with confidence.
So he paused for a moment and took a drink of water, then continued to add:
"After all, we were temporarily seconded to the flight test center because of a lack of manpower. The establishment is still in our own army. Although they don't say it, they are not very good at arranging for us to recover from the spin or stop and restart in the air. It is difficult to explain such high-risk projects if something goes wrong. Of course, to put it bluntly, there are concerns about our level.”
“But to be honest, regardless of other subjects, if we just fly stall and spin recovery, no test pilot can fly better than us instructors..."
Stall and spin recovery are necessary subjects in the flight training process. Of course, students only need to perform them once, but instructors need to fly them day after day, year after year. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that.
It can be seen that although Zhang Jiujiang chose a relatively stable job in an aviation school, he still has aspirations for a more challenging job.
Perhaps he also realized that he seemed to be complaining just now, so he changed the subject:
“Sigh...I won't mention it anymore. Although it's a dull place here, my wife and children don't have to worry about it. I can go home on weekends, which is good.”
“Of course at your age, you shouldn't feel this way, hahaha…”
Chang Haonan didn't find it easy to answer this.
Mainly because his actual age is actually not much different from Zhang Jiujiang.
But because I didn't get married in my previous life, so…
I really don't feel that way. So I had to do a tactical drink of water to cover up the slight embarrassment.
Fortunately, this topic was quickly dropped, and the two of them started to talk about some serious things that should be discussed between parents and teachers.
Such as academic performance and so on.
“Okay, it's almost time, I'll take you to dinner.”
After chatting for a while, Zhang Jiujiang looked at his watch, stood up, put on his coat again, and prepared to go out with Chang Haonan.
But just when the two of them went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor, they happened to meet a group of people who were about to go upstairs.
The leader is carrying a gold star, with a stern face and wind-like steps.
Chang Haonan thought for a moment and realized that this should be the "superior leader" Zhang Jiujiang just mentioned.
The rank of major general also meets this security level.
If he were at a higher level, he might not be able to get in if he didn't take out the letter of introduction today.
With this thought in his mind, he prepared to step aside and let the other party pass first.
Zhang Jiujiang naturally stood at attention and saluted.
When several people's figures intertwined, Chang Haonan glanced at the face of the officer at the front.
The appearance of a young man in casual clothes in this place is not particularly common, so it will inevitably attract more attention.
As a result, the eyes of the two people intersected for a moment.
Then, the steps stopped almost at the same time.
Chang Haonan was already shocked.
I just came to see my sister, how could I meet an acquaintance?
Zheng Liangqun, the pilot who piloted the J-8C to win the first victory, had met before when he received the award at Sandaomen.
Because this fact is so big, it makes a deep impression.
“Comrade Chang Haonan?”
The visitor obviously recognized him.
“Zheng…”
Chang Haonan got stuck before the first syllable could be uttered.
In his impression, Zheng Liangqun was still the commander of the Kongyi Division.
But the general title on the other side clearly indicates that he has been promoted again.
In the end, I had to choose a title that was unmistakable:
“General Zheng, what a coincidence, long time no see.”
Chang Haonan felt that he might not be able to hide his identity.
As expected, the other party doubted almost without thinking:
“Comrade Haonan, you are here...”
“My sister goes to school here, so I came to see her during my vacation.”
After giving a vague answer, he quickly changed the topic:
“I just heard from Instructor Zhang that a leader came to inspect today, but I didn't expect that it was you.”
“Alas, why don't you think it's yours? It's out of sight...”
Zheng Liangqun is still grateful to Chang Haonan.
In the past year, he has directly participated in the bat hunting operation that shot down the MiG-25, and indirectly participated in the embankment operation to deter the Royal Navy fleet.
It can be said that he has been involved in the two biggest jobs of the Air Force in the past 30 years.
He also received the honorary title of "Air Force Combat Hero" and was promoted two levels in a row, crossing the most critical general officer threshold for a mid- to senior-level commander.
Although this is inseparable from his own efforts, after all, the improvement of the equipment level of the PLA Air Force must also be taken into consideration...
