Chapter 330: Technical Essentials of Firing Rockets

The J-8 trainer aircraft landed slowly.

Before the canopy was opened, two ground crew members from the maintenance brigade came trotting over carrying a boarding ladder.

Jiang Chen opened the cockpit cover and reached out to take off the oxygen mask.

Then he climbed up the boarding stairs and jumped off the plane.

"The afternoon training is more important and time-consuming than the morning training. Go to the cafeteria and have a bite to eat, then bring me some food." Liu Yun also jumped down and said to Jiang Chen while holding a flight helmet.

"I have to summarize this morning's shooting results with Chief Instructor Liang and others first, and then set up the ground targets for the afternoon and go to the ammunition depot to get rockets. Damn, I'm so busy." He yelled.

Done.

He hurried to the flight briefing room with his flight helmet.

Jiang Chen quickly followed, "I also have to go back to the flight briefing room to change clothes before I can go to the cafeteria."

"Then why are you still dawdling? Hurry up." Liu Yun said without even turning his head.

Today's live-fire shooting training subjects were very intensive.

Shooting clover target in the morning.

In the afternoon, rockets were fired at ground targets.

So the whole "team" was as busy as if they were at a war.

Especially several instructors.

I was so busy that I didn't even have time to eat.

When several ground crew members from the maintenance brigade saw that the J-8 had stalled, they rushed forward to begin inspection and maintenance.

When they removed the gun pod from the belly of the plane and counted the number of remaining shells in the pod, they were suddenly shocked.

Because there were more than a hundred shells left in the pod.

A ground crew member looked at his companion in surprise and asked, "Didn't 'Dongguai's' mission today was to clean up the battlefield and destroy the worthless three-leaf targets? Why are there still more than a hundred shells left to be fired?"

His companion was also surprised. "Yes, there are only 600 shells in total, and there are more than 100 shells left. Did Dongguai only fire more than 400 shells?"

"Hiss? More than 400 rounds of artillery shells blew up two three-leaf targets. Instructor Liu from the Flight Academy is quite capable."

"How can you be a flight instructor without some skills? I heard that Instructor Liu just won a second-class individual merit two days ago."

"Yes."

While the two ground staff were still muttering, Jiang Chen had already changed his clothes, boarded a commuter bus, and hurried to the cafeteria.

However, when he arrived at the cafeteria he usually went to, he found that there were far fewer students eating in the cafeteria today than usual.

Right.

Almost all the sophomores went back to the Jiangcheng main campus to take their final exams.

More than half of the airborne troops that came to the Xinyang branch for training have also left.

There can be a lot of people.

Not only were there fewer people, but almost all of Jiang Chen's acquaintances had also left.

A huge cafeteria.

There was no one he knew.

But Jiang Chen just entered the cafeteria.

It immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

Many eyes were focused on him, and everyone was discussing something in a low voice.

not far away.

The six 'team' members were divided into two and each sat at two tables to eat.

They had obviously seen Jiang Chen walking slowly into the cafeteria, but none of them had any intention of greeting him.

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't put his hot face against someone's cold buttocks.

So I went to the window and ordered a full plate of delicious food.

Found a seat where no one was.

He ate as if no one was around and started eating with big mouthfuls.

He eats very quickly.

He finished a big meat bun in just three or two bites.

But what was different from usual was that his food intake today was only about two-thirds of his usual amount.

Because he ate something else.

--Lonely!
"I heard from Instructor Cheng that this guy was the one flying the 'Dongguai' today."

"Tsk tsk, he blew up a three-leaf target with just over 8 rounds, and he managed to get rid of it in the blink of an eye. That's amazing." "There are really people in this world who are born with knowledge. I heard that this guy had never received any systematic training before, but he was able to fly the J- with ease in his first attempt."

"Sure enough, people are better than others, and it makes people mad."

"Yeah, I used to think I had some talent, but compared to them, I'm just a piece of shit on the street."

"Huh? Didn't they say that guy was also selected for the 'team'? Why isn't he sitting with Zhang Yong and the others?"

"Who knows."

"Those guys in the team are always so arrogant. Now that someone who is more powerful than them has come, it would be strange if they would welcome him."

"Haha, Zhang Yong and Wu Zhigao don't always get along. They had an internal conflict right after the 'team' was formed. Now this kid has come. The 'team' only has seven people, but there are actually three factions. It's going to be interesting to watch."

"Three factions? Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

The buzzing of discussions around was like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

Annoying!
Jiang Chen acted as if he didn't hear it.

Eat in a hurry.

I also prepared another meal for Liu Yun.

Carrying a lunch box.

Hurried back to the airport.

One p.m.

The cramped flight briefing room was packed again.

Liang Zhenghong looked unfriendly.

Looking at the seven members of the 'Team' sitting in front of him.

"The results of this morning's empty target shooting are out."

Liang Zhenghong's voice was somewhat cold, and his eyes swept across the faces of the seven team members one by one, "The results are not ideal."

"Out of six people, only one got a good grade, one passed, and the remaining four all failed."

"Shame on you!"

"I have led many 'teams', but yours is the worst one I have ever led."

Jiang Chen sat in the corner.

I was counting on my fingers out of boredom.

Ugh!
It's the same rhetoric again.

Are you tired?

You say you're not tired, but I feel tired just listening to you.

However, the other six people looked very unhappy.

Several people hung their heads, looking listless.

Every person has dignity.

What's more, they are the "chosen ones" of heaven.

Now people are pointing fingers at me and scolding me.

It would be strange if your complexion looked good.

Liang Zhenghong scolded him a few more times.

His expression softened a little.

"There is also a live-fire target shooting training in the afternoon. Hitting ground targets is much more difficult than hitting air targets. I don't expect you to perform very well in the afternoon, but at least don't make any mistakes for me." Liang Zhenghong said again.

"The first priority in ground target shooting is not to hit the target, but to protect your own safety."

"Because when you hit a ground target, the nose of the plane is facing down, and you dive to lock and fire." Liang Zhenghong said while making gestures, "And after you launch the rocket, you must pull the nose of the plane up as soon as possible."

"Because when the rocket is launched, the fuselage of the aircraft will shake violently and dive downward."

"You must pull the nose of the plane up immediately."

"Otherwise there is a risk of stalling and spinning."
Liang Zhenghong spent more than half an hour explaining the technical essentials of ground target shooting.

In fact, the six members of the team have already mastered these technical essentials.

Not only familiar with it.

Moreover, I used a simulator to simulate actual combat in my sophomore year.

A few months before my junior year, I also flew the J-8 to drop training bombs.

So even though this was their first time firing live ammunition, they had already mastered the process and technical essentials.
