During the Spring Festival, we must not relax our combat preparations for a moment, and this has been the case for many years.

Even if the times change now, the air threats of the Beijing Military Region almost no longer exist, and routine training will be carried out every day, as will a certain regiment of the Fifth Air Division equipped with powerful attack aircraft.

However, this period is not a real war period after all. The Fifth Air Division, which is in the hinterland of the motherland, can still arrange personnel to be on duty, and other commanders and fighters can rest in shifts. This is the case with the regiment political commissar Lu Chunjiang. He chose to be on duty a few days after the New Year and give the rest opportunity during the Spring Festival to his comrades. He rested for a few days before the festival to celebrate the festival in advance, but he could not leave the base.

On that afternoon, I had a rare afternoon sleep. Lu Chunjiang got up and walked around the apartment. He first went to see his son who was doing homework. After half an hour of homework, he put on his clothes and put on his coat to go out, planning to go to the combat preparation room, duty room and other places in the regiment.

There is no way, I have been working in the Air Force for many years, and I am used to being awakened by alarms in my sleep. I am on duty during the day and night shift. I am often tired when I am busy with training. Now I am really on vacation and can rest for a few days. Colonel Lu is still thinking about his comrades in the regiment and those "Yanlongs" who need to be served carefully. He left the base dormitory building and walked a few steps on the path. He took out his cell phone to take a look.

The New Year is not the phone number in the group, but it is actually his former senior. He quickly answered it:

"Hey, Lao Yang! - Haha, that's OK. I'm off these days, and the old rules. I'm still on duty this year from the first year of junior high school.

Ah. Have you arrived?

Why don’t you inform me in advance? I’ll come now!"

"Ha ha!

No need to come over, I just went to the group to take a look. I didn’t have official duties today, so I would like to talk to you Lao Lu, how about it?”

Lu Chunjiang was very happy when he received a call from Yang Guangwu. Anyway, he had to go around the regiment, so he continued to walk forward and met the visiting major general of the Air Force in the regiment combat command room.

Walking outside the building door where the command room was located, I saw that the old superior was quite serious about military regulations, but he just stood in a corridor outside the command room and looked at the sky. Lu Chunjiang looked at the major general, and saw an x-8a "flame dragon" returning from cruise was preparing to enter the venue. He could also hear a low roar in the soundproof corridor. He coughed and walked forward and shook hands with the major general:

"Old Yang, you're so fascinated by it, haha!"

"Yeah, yeah."

As a major general of the Air Force who has been promoted for many years, Yang Guangwu, who has been in command positions for many years, now almost never flew very much, naturally missed the opportunity to attack the plane. As a former Air Force ace pilot, it is natural for him to yearn for the X-8a. The two witnessed the "Flame Dragon" on the scene in the corridor together, landed, and left the tower together and returned to Lu Chunjiang to sit in the dormitory apartment.

When he came to visit Lu Chunjiang a few years ago, Yang Guangwu mostly wanted to talk to his old comrades, and also wanted to talk about something else. The two sat down and exchanged a few words, and then he said straight to the point:

"Lao Lu, I'm here to find you today. I won't talk about the confidentiality, but I can talk about the personnel arrangements.

You look leisurely, as if you don’t know the recent popularity. Although there is no official notice from above, you Lao Lu don’t know the news yet?"

"I know, Lao Yang."

When talking about the recent personnel arrangements, they are different from the usual rumor and almost chatty image. Lu Chunjiang raised his hand and took a few sips of tea before he answered slowly:

"Speaking of this, I really don't understand what the above is going to do. You said, Lao Yang, how could I go to HNA by an old air force that has been squatting for many years? Now there is no shortage of manpower on the other side. A strong pilot and commander catch a lot of people. What do you want me, a guy who can't fly and attack? "

“Haha, blunt enough!

Since I know, I still look fine, I thought you, Old Lu, have no feelings for the Fifth Air Division."

Yang Guangwu was actually confused about Lu Chunjiang's words. As a senior officer of the Beijing Military Region Air Force, he had relatively limited information. However, he had received news recently that the Military Commission issued a direct order to the Military Region to draw up several experienced and powerful command talents to form a new combat sequence.

As for the purpose of this, as a soldier, he naturally would not make any guesses. However, when he heard that "transferring people to HNA", he was as surprised as Lu Chunjiang in front of him, and the reasons were exactly the same. So he asked many people and had an in-depth understanding of the situation out of curiosity and concern for the current situation. Now he came to find the old comrades on the designated list and the old friend to tell the story, and by the way, he also asked his thoughts:

"Old Lu, HNA, don't need talent at all? Not entirely.

I don’t know much, and it’s not appropriate to say it here, but you can think about it. The Navy’s ‘011’ has recently completed all the trial missions and will be put into active service soon. This matter is no secret to the outside world. The Americans have also run to the front point this time. Since the attack is going to be on the aircraft carrier, haha…”

"Old Yang, you mean...

HNA needs to form a new unit, is it related to the entry into the "011"?"

After thinking about Yang Guangwu's ideas, Lu Chunjiang understood a rough idea. Although he didn't quite understand, he had at least a direction to think about it.

"011", a code for naval equipment research and development, and a series of combat ship types that the outside world also calls plan. It basically means the same as the "XX" class. However, just looking at this series of numbers, it is difficult to know what weapon it is. In fact, "011" is the same as the "001", "001a" and other models, and they are all model codes of aircraft carriers.

According to the equipment development rules of plan, each type of combat ship will have a R&D code. For example, the "05x" series is a large surface ship such as destroyers and frigates. "09x" is a nuclear submarine, "03x" is a conventional submarine, and "07x" represents an amphibious ship. The somewhat inexplicable "01x" was originally the R&D code for small combat ships. Now a "011" is not a small ship, but an epoch-making combat platform, which is a new generation of heavy aircraft carriers that can carry attack aircraft.

As an air force officer, he is very concerned about the combat sequences of all equipment combat aircraft, and Lu Chunjiang naturally knows a lot about the situation of HNA.

As one of the frontier military forces of the Republic, after decades of development, the PLA Navy's current naval aviation has greatly improved in terms of scale and equipment level. It has also changed the pure onshore deployment method that had been previously many years. With the 001/001a, 002/002a type aircraft carriers that have been successively put into service in recent years, it has achieved ocean deployment. Currently, about 70% of HNA's front-line troops are stationed at sea.

The remaining 30% of the miles are combat troops equipped with x-7 "Fire Dragon" and x-8 "Fire Dragon" raid aircraft, but unlike the carrier-based aviation forces, all of these troops are shore-based aviation forces.

The reason is that although the weapon of the attack aircraft is powerful, it cannot be used on traditional aircraft carriers.

The power system of the strong attack aircraft uses a new generation engine that burns "Hydrogen Crystal" and its flight performance is greatly improved compared to that of the fighter aircraft. However, the take-off and landing performance has no substantial improvement. Due to the huge body and high wing load, the take-off distance during traditional skiing takes off is even longer than that of ordinary fighters, which is not conducive to rapid dispatch and front-line deployment during wartime.

Because of this, the attack aircraft of several major countries currently have vertical take-off and landing capabilities. This is not difficult for attack aircraft with atomic hydrogen engines and a thrust-to-weight ratio of at least 2:00, but it also brings serious ground ablation problems. Generally, aircraft carriers are equipped with attack aircraft. Not only are traditional take-off and landing operations impossible, but even vertical take-off and landing will burn the deck. Combined with these two points, coupled with the size limitation of the attack aircraft itself, even the "Ford" class with a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons cannot be equipped with many aircraft.

Therefore, it is not an accident that the attack aircraft has not entered the naval sequence worldwide.

Looking at the world today, for several superpowers such as China, the United States, and the Soviet Union, aircraft carriers that can be deployed in the ocean are no longer a mutually deterrent combat platform. Since there is no pressure from a world war, even aircraft carriers carrying fighter jets can complete tasks calmly, just like the end of a Middle East civil war.

Because traditional fighter jets and aircraft carriers can also meet the requirements, countries are not very urgent about the launch of a forceful attack aircraft.

The "011" aircraft carrier, which has just completed the sea trial and is preparing to be put into service, is a attempt by the Chinese Navy to ship-based aircraft of the attack aircraft. It is also a response to the United States' construction of a new generation of attack aircraft carriers. It is preparing to carry out various verification work after entering service. If it is proved feasible, it will be built in small batches within the entire alliance.

Just a few years ago, the "011" project was still a highly confidential plan.

However, in this era of developed Internet and media everywhere, there is no need to keep extreme secrets in peacetime, just like making nervous allergies, the "force attack on aircraft carriers" is well known now.
