Chapter 719: Going to the Military Parade!

Obviously, Li Liangxin's current state of mind is one of pain and happiness.

But the point is happiness.

Therefore, his words also triggered a burst of empathetic laughter on the podium.

Hair loss is obviously a common problem faced by most middle-aged men.

Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you are treated equally.

"We need to find some heavy-duty tow trucks."

Yang Hong, the chief instructor of the vehicle formation, raised his telescope again and looked at the 18 tanks that had formed a line in the distance and were driving into the camp under the guidance of technical personnel:

"This model weighs almost 50 tons. The largest Type 84 tank repair vehicle we have now can only tow 45 tons. If it breaks down and cannot even tow it, it will be in big trouble."

Equipment reliability is a matter of complete materialism, and it is not like members of a walking team who can overcome some minor problems. If they fail, they will fail.

Moreover, no matter how good the maintenance is, it is impossible to completely eliminate the possibility of failure.

Therefore, during each detachment, there will be a series of engineering rescue vehicles and backup equipment on standby next to the moving convoy.

Although except for a tank breaking down at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, there were no similar problems later.

But it’s always better to be prepared.

"Able to tow a 50-ton heavy-duty emergency vehicle... I estimate that only the engineering corps will have some engineering equipment that meets the requirements."

Another officer thought for a while, then touched his chin and replied:

"A few years ago, when business was not banned, there were many engineering brigades working outside to build bridges and pave roads. Although they have not been allowed to do so in the past two years, the equipment purchased before should still be there and can use some of the remaining heat."

The two models of third-generation tanks directly increased the size of the Chinese Army's main battle equipment by nearly a quarter.

Corresponding to the improvement in equipment combat effectiveness, the demand for logistical support has doubled.

This is why sometimes, the combat effectiveness of troops that have just received new equipment is not as good as when they use old equipment.

"So... sometimes changing clothes too quickly can be a frustrating thing..."

Zheng Liangqun's tone next to him inadvertently brought a hint of Versailles.

After all, when it comes to the speed at which new equipment enters service, the Air Force is currently unparalleled.

The number of troops equipped with Su-27 or domestic J-11A has increased to three regiments, and although it is a second-generation and a half fighter, the number of J-8C that can also be regarded as a new quality combat capability is roughly the same.

Compared with the more than 50 fighter regiments of the entire Air Force, this number is indeed not too many, but at least it can ensure that the key airspace in the east and southeast has relatively modern fighters to protect the airspace, and there will no longer be forced use of fighter jets. The J-6 versus F14 is such a heroic but helpless scene.

More importantly, the Air Force has basically ensured that there will be no serious interruption in combat effectiveness during the replacement process——

The bat hunting operation and embankment building operation the year before last are the best proof.

When Zheng Liangqun said this, no one could refute it.

Although Li Liangxin was born in the army, as a commander at the military region level, he had actually jumped out of the level of a single military service and did not directly prevent the harmless quarrels among his subordinates.

As soldiers, if there is only harmony and no sparks when we get together, it may not be a good thing.

Therefore, after listening for a while, he just changed the topic calmly:

"Commander Zheng, what about the situation of the air formations being reviewed, especially the third-generation fighter jets being reviewed? I remember that in the past two years, they were not able to move freely across the country?"

Zheng Liangqun dared to open a battle in the middle of a group of army troops. He naturally understood that forging iron requires one's own strength, and immediately replied:

"The pilot candidates for the air formation have basically been determined, and targeted formation flight training is ongoing. Only the list of student companions for the trainer echelon has not yet been reported, but this will not affect flight preparations."

"As for the ground support issue, starting from the middle of last year, in the name of the 9910 project, in accordance with the replacement plan for the next 3-5 years, I transferred some ground support personnel from several of the top aviation divisions in the Air Force to Sheng Sheng. We will go to the Beijing 112 Factory to study and adapt to the new equipment in advance. Of course, the main purpose is not only for the military parade, but also to quickly form combat effectiveness in the future.”

"One of the key points is the base over Yangcun, so both ground support equipment and personnel can completely independently ensure the normal operation of the Su-27 and J-11 aircraft being reviewed."

"However, the J-10, which is referenced together with the three domestically produced J-11s, is still in a prototype state, and is even currently performing test flight missions in Yanliang. Therefore, the guarantee of these two aircraft requires comrades from the 132 Factory sent from Rongcheng. Some technical staff are here."

As soon as he spoke a few words, there was someone next to him who was quick to respond and started taking notes.

The military parade is indeed important, but in the final analysis it is only a temporary mission.

Preparing for war is the eternal theme of the military in peacetime.

Obviously, Zheng Liangqun was able to go from deputy division commander to military region air force commander in less than three years. In addition to being lucky, he did have some unique things of his own.

…

Just here, the parade commanders were chatting about the preparations of the air formation.

Changchun Flight Academy, a thousand kilometers away.

Three newly installed J-9 training aircraft entered the apron along the taxiway.

As the hatch opened, the three flight trainees and three flight instructors climbed out of the cabin.

After getting off the plane, each trainee handed a piece of paper to the instructor behind him, and then either trotted or walked back to the queue a little further away.

The three instructors gathered the papers in their hands and handed them to a colonel standing opposite the college queue.

It was Zhang Jiujiang, an old acquaintance of Chang Haonan.

Then, more than a dozen instructors began to study the "test papers" handed in by the trainees on the spot.

The trainees in the queue were actually used to it.

This "aviation experience class" that was opened a little suddenly has lasted for nearly two semesters, and the models of the aircraft have also changed from the initial CJ-6 to the later JJ-6, and then upgraded to the current JJ-9.

Each model does not require trainees to drive. All they have to do is to perform specific actions according to the instructions of the tower when the instructor's aircraft maneuvers.

Usually they answer questions written on a piece of paper, or give accurate directions in an aircraft maneuvering at high speed in the air according to the description on a piece of paper.

At first, most people could still get a high score on the CJ-6.

But when it came to the JJ-9, which has a faster speed and a higher overload level, many students felt uncomfortable after landing or even during the flight.

Especially for the dozen female students in the queue today.

According to convention, they would be assigned to the transport flight major by default, so experiencing the JJ-6 and JJ-9 was completely unplanned training content.

For some reason, the instructors spent a particularly long time studying the test papers on this day.

Several students who had a strong reaction to the high overload flight had their legs shaking a little.

It was not until nearly half an hour later that the instructors who had gathered together finally dispersed again.

"Li Lingchao and Chang Jiayao will stay for a while, and the others will be taken back to the dormitory area, and then disbanded, and free activities in the afternoon!"

The instructors left a few students alone after class, which basically meant extra training.

Therefore, the other students looked at the two with more or less pity.

Including the two people who were left behind, they were also a little panicked.

"Instructor, I think my performance during this period... should be OK..." After most people left, Chang Jiayao cautiously asked Zhang Jiujiang. After learning that he and Chang Haonan were acquaintances, the former was no longer as restrained in private as before. But today, Zhang Jiujiang's expression was particularly serious. "Stand at attention!" Chang Jiayao immediately put away his playful smile and stood in a standard military posture with Li Lingchao next to him. "The academy has decided to report Comrades Li Lingchao and Chang Jiayao as the candidates for the No. 5 and No. 6 trainer aircraft echelon of the 50th anniversary of the National Day parade!"
