Chapter 25: Steel Eagle

Time: Eight months later......
Location: Naval Aviation stationed at Anhui Wuhu Airport
A domestically produced J-7 fighter jet roared down at Wuhu Military Airport. Before the fighter jet had even settled on the glide runway, two airport logistics staff rushed up, greeted him with the respect of a prince, and invited the pilot out. They surrounded the lieutenant colonel pilot one after the other, while the logistics officer leading the way said, "Captain Zhao, you've already accumulated over 800 flight hours. It seems you have a chance to become a first-class pilot!" Truly incredible. I think if you were in World War II, Captain Zhao, you would definitely be a super ace flying hero capable of shooting down hundreds of enemy planes! The one you just performed in the air...... What did you mean? It really scared me so much my heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest! ”
"Idiot, that's called barrel spin!" The logistics soldier following Captain Zhao first looked down on his comrade before continuing, "Captain Zhao, you've already had 800 flight hours, but look at us two poor little soldiers. At most, every day we just touch those fighter jets, then we compete on a computer screen on a simulated flight platform." What do you think is the difference between us doing this and playing video games?! ”
Captain Zhao took the water cup handed to him by a orderly, took a big gulp, and shouted, "You two kids are always scheming like thieves!" Zhanxiage: Your left eyesight is only 0.3, almost a Cyclops Dragon. Tell me, which country's aviation force dares to recruit pilots for the Cyclops Dragon? ”
Zhanxiage, singled out by Captain Zhao, could only rub his nose and smile bitterly. Why isn't there a dedicated sniper cannon on the fighter jet?!
"And you, Huang Zhipeng, you're a total brute. You just joined the army and already dared to swing a stool at the veteran. The squad leader called you to the office and gave you a stool, telling you to smash it again in front of him. But you, kid, really dare to push the stool in the face. Without hesitation, you grabbed the stool and aimed it at the veteran again!" He was put in confinement for a week on the second day of enlistment—this is a unique precedent among our naval aviators, isn't it?! If you really let you fly a fighter jet, and you lose your mind, wouldn't you end up shooting someone else's jet?! ”
Huang Zhipeng also fell silent.
"The flight simulators have almost exhausted our airport's reserves to order and modify training equipment from Russia, and only fighter pilots are qualified to use them. I really don't understand why the higher-ups would issue an unban order to you two kids. It's already impressive that you can satisfy your cravings on the simulator console! ”
Patting Zhanxiage and Huang Zhipeng on the shoulder, Captain Zhao said earnestly, "I'm about ten years older than you two. Just take it as a word of advice, big brother. If you're really not suited for the fighter pilot position, then stop worrying about it!" Actually, the logistics department is pretty good too. Without you, how could our Eagles have soared into the skies? You're the real heroes behind the scenes! ”
Watching Captain Zhao's figure disappear behind an automatic door, Zhan Xiagege and Huang Zhipeng both extended their right middle fingers and whispered, "Interrogate!" ”
Huang Zhipeng lazily slumped down on the ground and shouted, "What so-called 'behind-the-scenes hero'? To put it bluntly, he's just tricking us into working ourselves to death!" The daily meal standard is 68 yuan, plus a first-level flight allowance, plus one month of health and recuperation each year. As soon as they get married, their families get priority to accompany the military, get housing and work arrangements. I heard that after retiring, he even gave a large financial subsidy based on his years of service! Look at us brothers—they say we don't play with special privileges or play the usual tricks, but in the end, our daily meal standards don't even match a fraction of what they do. It's just a chance to play a broken simulator, but it feels like we've already been given a huge gift! Comparing yourself to others is really infuriating! ”
"You brought this on yourself. Who was it that acted so righteous back then, insisting that the company commander and company commander should advance and retreat together, and insisted on joining the aviation unit with me?!"
Less than a week after Zhanxiage joined the aviation force, Huang Zhipeng shamelessly pursued him, relying on his father's influence in the military. In his own words, being with the war hero song makes life especially vibrant!
Zhan Xia Ge first gave a harsh blow to his own best friend and scoundrel, then sighed, "But this Captain Zhao is really a bit stingy!" All our allowances were spent on treating him to meals and drinks, just hoping he could give us some guidance on driving skills. But instead, he just handed us a few beginner driver training textbooks! They completely treat us like foolish angry youth to boss us around! ”
Huang Zhipeng pulled out a beginner driver training textbook, which he had already torn through to tatters, from his pocket and said, "I recognize every character on this toy, but if you put it together, it's basically no different from a heavenly book!" Contour lines, function formulas, human endocrine system, wind speed, air pressure, gray vision after physiological limits—who would know what kind of nonsense these are all of! ”
"Just being a first-class pilot makes you great?" Zhan Xiaoge suddenly sat up and pointed at a fighter jet covered with special waterproof tarp on the tarmac, shouting, "Why doesn't he dare to fly this fighter jet out?" What 'Seven Fighters and Eight Fighters'? At best, he could be considered driving a Bluebird or Santana. If he could take this fighter out there, he would truly have enjoyed the glory of the Mercedes and Lincoln! ”
Zhanxia Ge stared blankly at the jet that had been sitting on the tarmac for months, yet no one had touched it, let alone soared into the blue sky. He whispered dreamily, "Really, if I could fly that fighter out for a lap and let me crash and die instantly, I'd accept it!" ”
"That's right!" Huang Zhipeng's eyes widened as well. "This is an aerial killing machine that can reach twice the speed of sound!" The first time I saw her, I was stunned like an idiot. Look at her smooth, chilling body, reach out to feel the fiery passion hidden within her cold body. I can almost see the terrifying penetration as she soars into the sky, like a drawn sword! Do you know what her first impression was on me? That was shock, absolute regret! Faced with such a pure war machine, soldiers who can only run on two legs on the ground are so fragile! Her GSH-301 single-barrel revolver cannon can fire 1,800 rounds per minute. I can't even imagine what a terrifying death storm would unfold when her firepower system was fully activated! Really, if I could sit on a fighter jet like this, even if it was just once, I'd accept it even if I died! ”
Zhan Xia Ge and Huang Zhipeng stared at the war weapon that had been sealed away for three months, falling silent together.
Such a fighter jet, representing the world's most advanced standards, naturally had to be test-flown by a quasi-first-class pilot like Captain Zhao, who had flown over 800 hours!
It is said that the reason this world-class fighter jet has been at the airport for so long without making its maiden flight is simply too advanced—so advanced that even if you invited a top-tier fighter pilot, they couldn't fully control it, let alone fully unleash its true power! They negotiated with Russia for a full three months, but the other side still hadn't sent supporting training materials or detailed combat parameters for the fighter jets.
According to the principle of peacetime, the military prefers not to do anything and make mistakes, so this steel eagle can only stay on the tarmac in grievance, unable to go anywhere!
This fighter comes from a prestigious family; before it, many outstanding siblings have served in countries around the world, and it has a very prestigious title—the Su-27!
