Chapter 313 The Tiger Unit’s Survival Crisis

After smoking two cigarettes, Li Zhan's office smelled strongly of cigarette smoke.

Li Zhan didn't smoke. He got up and walked to the window and opened the other window to let in more of the still cool wind to dissipate the smell of smoke faster.

"Old Li, Captain Li, you really tormented me a lot. How about that, you still have to help your brothers." Yuan Boning said with a smile.

Li Zhan got straight to the point and said, "What are you going to do?"

Yuan Boning put out the cigarette, took out a hand-drawn map from his arms and spread it on his desk. He pointed at it and said, "The old place, the live-fire confrontation drill was placed in Area 4. This red dot is where the Blue Army detained the pilots. We have to go more than 300 kilometers deep to rescue people and evacuate to this location. You see, the end of Highway 4, this is the latitude and longitude."

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Zhan said, "Do you know why I'm not interested in a confrontation drill like yours with live ammunition?"

"Isn't it satisfying?" Yuan Boning said, "Of course it's not as good for you as launching the J-8 reconnaissance training, but this is also part of the system's combat construction, isn't it?"

Li Zhan shook his head, "Wrong. It's because I worked hard to help you complete the task, but in the end I got nothing. This is a loss-making business."

"..." Yuan Boning was completely speechless and sighed, "Captain Li, you were not like this before."

"I've always been like this. I used to fly for an hour in the 300 Division, and I asked them to transfer the 300 rod fee to me through the military district coordination." Li Zhan said seriously, "One code equals one Code, I helped you before and you helped me. Now you want me to help. There is no problem with the orders from superiors. But I have to say something ugly up front. My people will assist you in the confrontation. The personnel and equipment must be in your organization sequence. .”

Yuan Boning finally understood.

Li Zhan spread his hands and said, "My superiors ordered me, the Falcon Brigade, to provide you with some help, but there are no specific requirements. No matter what, my people can't work for you in vain without knowing it. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, I understand now, you told me earlier, I thought..."

"Tell me earlier? Did you tell me earlier that you could solve it?" Li Zhan interrupted Yuan Boning rudely and pointed to the phone, "Please tell me, call here."

Yuan Boning was roasted on the fire.

Li Zhan has no idea what their situation is. When it comes to the confrontation drill with live troops and live ammunition, the first thing Li Zhan thinks of is that he must contribute legitimately and can no longer be "obscure". They all eat royal food and carry guns and fight. I can't always give you free help.

Obviously Yuan Boning had developed a habit of thinking and thought that the Falcon Brigade should help as a matter of course, but he did not expect that Li Zhan would compete with him this time. What are you working so hard for, other than to make meritorious deeds, win awards, stand out and bring glory to the collective?

Yuan Boning could only call and ask for instructions immediately. Li Zhan avoided it.

Not long after, Yuan Boning finished asking for instructions and walked out to Li Zhan, who was standing on the balcony looking out at the outfield. The subjects are left to you."

"No problem." Li Zhan immediately smiled and said, "If you have the honor, everything is easy to talk about. Let's go and discuss the battle plan."

Yuan Boning was extremely helpless.

The battle plan is both simple and complex. The typical operation of going deep behind enemy lines to rescue captured pilots is one of the compulsory subjects for special forces, so it is simple. It was complicated because the superiors placed the confrontation drill in Area 4, where the terrain was complex and there were many natural caves. The effect of air-to-ground strikes was affected. There must be tacit air-ground coordination to effectively complete the mission. This is a great test of the cooperative combat capabilities of the air unit and the ground unit.

Fortunately, the Falcon Brigade and the Tiger Squad conducted air-ground coordinated operations not once or twice but three times. This time, the air detachment was partly responsible for air cover and necessary ground strikes, which was relatively complicated. At least the last few operations have been without air cover.

The time of the operation was top secret, and Yuan Boning didn't know it either.

Li Zhan said with a smile, "It seems that this live-army confrontation exercise is the ultimate test for you. Is it directly related to the reorganization and upgrading of the army?"

"Yes, that's why I'm anxious." Yuan Boning said with a wry smile, "The superiors don't recognize the past results and say they represent the past. What the Tigers will be like in the future will depend on how well this drill goes. Can't play well?" It’s very possible that it will be withdrawn.”

"Withdrawal? That's not the case, right?" Li Zhan was quite surprised.

Yuan Boning said solemnly, "It's very possible. So not only must we play well, but we must also play beautifully."

Li Zhan thought of the day when his old unit was disbanded, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. After calming down, he said, "I will do my best here."

"Old Li, I am half-confident because of your words. Really, without your support, I really don't have much confidence. The enemy background set by the superiors is too complicated." Yuan Boning said.

Li Zhan said, "This can reflect the strength of your tiger unit."

"Anyway, please, Captain Li." Yuan Boning saluted solemnly.

Li Zhan sent him out of the door and watched him jump on the commuter bus driven by Pei Lei and head to the outfield. Not long after, a Mi-171 flew to Nankuchang Station and sped away. Li Zhan sighed slightly in his heart and thought to himself, they are all majors in the camp, and they have helicopters coming and going, so the treatment is not at the same level.

Arriving at Nie Jianfeng's office, Li Zhan said, "You and Lin Fei change planes. You fly a landline and I'm on combat readiness duty. The Tiger Squadron may start taking action at some time. The start time of their live-army confrontation drill is not yet I don’t know, we have to be on call at all times.”

Nie Jianfeng stood up suddenly and suddenly realized that he was too excited. He quickly suppressed his emotions and whispered, "Old Li, if I do a second-class meritorious service at the end of the year, I can be evaluated as a first-class meritorious officer. I, the major, should also become a middle-class student." It’s school.”

"If you're not promising, wouldn't it be better to just get a first-class meritorious service?" Li Zhan said with a smile, "Well, as the military rank goes up, so does the military rank allowance."

"You..." Nie Jianfeng was helpless.

After going around and around the topic no longer, Nie Jianfeng simply said frankly, "Okay, I plan to buy a house. If circumstances permit, I will find a way to earn more money to buy a house and marry a wife while being dedicated to my job. is that OK?"

Seeing Nie Jianfeng smashing the jar with his hands, Li Zhan couldn't help laughing and said, "I think of the old regiment leader Yu Chenglin. It is said that he failed in the blind date again. Is he thirty-seven this year?"

"Yes, he has become a five-guarantee household in the second division." Nie Jianfeng said with a wry smile, "I am very worried that I will follow in his footsteps, so I have to put this matter on the agenda! I will be thirty this year! I will start a family and start a family. I have to start a family first and then start a career, and then I will be in my thirties."

Li Zhan burst out laughing, "You are really nervous. It's okay to have nothing to do. It's best to solve the marriage problem. Captain Yu Chenglin is a special case and not representative. Seriously, where are you going to buy a house in Beijing? Library? Didn’t you buy a house in the tourist area last year? "

Nie Jianfeng said, "I have researched and found that it is suitable for a hotel. The local government is vigorously developing the tourism resources of the Beiku Mountains, and the prospects for turning it into a hotel are very good. All the procedures have been completed, and the renovation has been completed. More than 20 dollars have been invested. Ten thousand, it can open in July, but now I don’t have a penny.”

"Hey, when did this happen? Why don't I know anything?" Li Zhan sat down and said, "Did you tell me when you were out?"

Nie Jianfeng said, "My sister came here a long time ago. She took care of everything. Can I not tell you that I am going out?"

Li Zhan thought for a while and said, "Simply go bigger and set up a company to specialize in accommodation in tourist areas."

"No, no, no, no, I can't do it. I just want to find something for my sister to do, but I'll fly the plane with peace of mind." Nie Jianfeng waved his hands with a headache.

Li Zhan shrugged, "That's what I said. Do you want my help with your partner?"

"No, I'll handle it myself. Just give me a holiday." Nie Jianfeng quickly made a stop gesture, thought for a while, and added, "There is no need for a special holiday. Let me rest normally on Saturdays and Sundays."

Li Zhan shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid not. You don't know what the situation is now, and where can you rest normally. Let's wait until the confrontation is over. When the new machine is in place, I will lead the teaching team and let you rest."

"That's about the same." Nie Jianfeng accepted this division of labor. In fact, he certainly knew that the training tasks were heavy and time was tight. Since June, the number of good weather days in the Beiku region in the next three months is the most in a year. During this period, This period is also the best time for the troops to train.

There is no need to say that there is normal rest time on Saturdays and Sundays in other units. Few leaders take up the normal rest time of the officers and soldiers. However, in Beiku and the Falcon Brigade, the officers and soldiers do not have the so-called normal rest time. Captain Li is in a good mood. Sometimes we have a day off on Sunday to rest. That is the treatment for ordinary cadres and officers and soldiers. Don't even think about it for cadres with positions.

Otherwise, where would the four to five hundred flying hours a year come from? How does the Falcon Brigade achieve rapid improvement in combat effectiveness? How can He De of the 101st Regiment be upgraded to a brigade?

Li Zhan thought of something and reminded him, "I remember that your partner is a Uyghur? Matters with ethnic minorities are more complicated. You have to be more vigilant when getting along, and don't follow the blind tricks of Han Hongjun and Li Zixin. "

It would sound like a joke to ordinary people, but Nie Jianfeng was very serious and said, "I know, don't worry, it's just a conversation. I don't dare to touch her before I get the certificate. I have a sense of propriety."

"Well, it's not easy for a soldier to find a partner, but you can't do it blindly. If you really can't reach an agreement, just return home quickly and try again later." Li Zhan said.

Nie Jianfeng nodded and said, "Yes, do you want to participate in the Flying Sharks training team selection in the second half of the year?"

This is a big deal.

The selection for the first half of the year has ended, and no one from the 101st Brigade has been selected. Li Zhan realized that the selection standards were not lowered, but raised again. Several top players from the Falcon Brigade participated in the selection. Li Zhan knew the strength of his soldiers very well, but they couldn't even pass the first level. It can be described as a wake-up call, so Li Zhan and Nie Jianfeng are not in a good mood these days.
