Flying Leopard is an advanced fighter that combines the functions of annihilation and bombing. It makes outstanding contributions to defending airspace and safeguarding national development interests. A brigade of HNA in the southern theater on the coast of the South China Sea is a "big leopard", and heroes such as Wang Wei, a "sea and air guard", and Zhang Chao, a "strong army vanguard against the sea and sky," have emerged. Today, let us approach those service officers who protect the flying leopard fleet and feel the unrepentant youth of these "unknown heroes".
Liu Lei: How can there be a life in the world?
On the night of midsummer, the brigade entered the field for training. A company leader of refrigeration and charging, Liu Leizheng, led several technical backbones to urgently troubleshoot the new equipment that suddenly fell into a nest. The clock pointed to 1 am the next day, and the fault was finally eliminated. , Everyone returned to the dormitory to rest. At this time, Liu Lei washed his face with cold water, opened the electronic version of "Fault Compilation" in the workplace, and sorted out and recorded the phenomenon, causes, troubleshooting process and experience of this equipment failure. This is his "Sunflower Collection". Insiders seem to always find the answer.
When enlisting in the army, Liu Lei, who had only a junior high school culture, looked at the strange air conditioners, power cars and other equipment in the company. After listening to the veteran's lecture, Liu Lei couldn't enter the state at all. He couldn't understand the circuit symbols. It wasn't correct for the line trend. When he saw new comrades taking office, Liu Lei even had a heart to cry. "The most stupid method is also the most useful method!" Liu Lei asked the old class leader for advice and practical exercises, followed by intensive training in his spare time, practiced hundreds of movements in one movement, and was familiar with the working principle according to the circuit diagram... Not the fastest, but it must be the most solid. In early 2017, because of the upgrade of fighters, the company's outfield support model has changed dramatically. The newly-served liquid cooling vehicle is not mature enough. In order to tackle the problem as quickly as possible, Liu Lei was appointed as the team leader by the company. He and his comrades combined with the actual equipment, thoroughly understand the product manuals and operating procedures, sorted out and summarized various issues and discussed with factory experts. After more than a month of hard work, the research team mastered the performance and operating rules of the new equipment. When everyone praised it, Liu Lei, who looked tired, said: "How can there be a life in the world, only with more effort can we succeed."
Jia Renjun: A dream is like a seed
Also in the outfield of the Flying Leopard fleet, Jia Renjun, a second-level sergeant and mechanic, is also a "big man" relished by his comrades. After 22 years in the army, he has maintained and guaranteed five types of aircraft, and he has his share in major military missions. However, before enlisting in the army, Jia Renjun was always thinking about going to the warship, but it was a mistake. Although he entered the navy, he worked with the shore-based Leopard fighter to maintain the aircraft maintenance. "Is it a navy without the sea and the warship?" ? He was a little confused at a time, but as the military career deepened, he found this world to be equally exciting!
In June 2013, the army just converted three generations of aircraft, preparing to actually fire a certain air-to-air missile. However, when the pilot entered the cockpit and drove, he encountered an engine that failed to start. The situation was urgent. Based on rich experience in maintenance and support, Jia Renjun quickly "played a movie" in his brain to find the cause of the engine start failure. Through the observation of the phenomenon, Jia Renjun initially determined that the insufficient fuel supply of the engine suspension caused the start failure. He ventured into the engine compartment and adjusted the corresponding parameters. When the pilot drove again, the two engines started simultaneously. A glance at the time, troubleshooting, Jia Renjun spent less than three minutes!
In the early summer of the following year, a fighter of the Navy held refueling training in the South China Sea for the first time, and the team where Jia Renjun was assigned was ordered to provide support. The industry knows that refueling training requires that the aircraft control system, engine thrust, and refueling device be absolutely stable at all times, and any mistakes are unimaginable. They boldly innovated without experience, coordinated with the factory three times to improve the fuel receiving probe, successfully developed the "aircraft air fueling, fuel consumption simulation testing" equipment, successfully ensured the training, and initiated the aviation fueling training in Hainan Airlines. The first of its kind to break through the bottleneck of fighters’ short legs.
"A dream is like a seed, and only hard work can make it shine into reality." Jia Renjun wrote in his notebook.
Wu Qingjie: Don’t despise ordinary jobs
"I grew up and piloted fighters!" In 1990, Wu Qingjie, who grew up watching the plane, entered the coveted first-line HNA unit, but the smile on his face did not last long because the reality contrast was too great: the barracks was 40 years old. The former bungalow often leaks in rainy days; the bumpy dirt roads in the camp area are muddy in rainy days and gray in sunny days; instead of flying the plane, they are responsible for maintaining the plane. "Can I realize my military dream in this backcountry?" Wu Qingjie's heart was full of waves...
Just as Wu Qingjie was about to retire at the end of the year, a special discussion impressed himself. "Why do you serve as a soldier in a peaceful age? Is it just a stable income?" an old head who personally defended the airspace battle and worked hard to ask, he told how the soldiers used blood and sweat to win the "largest praise"- peace. Wu Qingjie gradually got a clear answer: Joining the army is to protect the family and protect the country.
In June 2012, the regiment suddenly received a mission to go to an airport in eastern Zhejiang before the superior, and Wu Qingjie was named by the leader. After many days and nights of fighting, he defeated the difficulty of bombing and safeguarding in one fell swoop and provided the first real bullet hit for the missile. Strong guarantee.
In the early winter of 2015, the superior handed over two fighters to Wu Qingjie's regiment, and the regiment instructed him to serve as one of the mechanics in charge of the maintenance before the test flight. These two aircraft that have just transitioned from the north, thousands of kilometers away, are affected by climate differences in temperature and humidity in the south, making the performance and fault conditions of the aircraft more difficult to grasp. After a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft parts and equipment and key parts, Wu Qingjie found a small crack on the brake pad of the aircraft's right wheel, and the location was very concealed. In order not to delay the test flight, he immediately organized the elimination. Due to different production batches, the brake system models of this aircraft and other aircraft are inconsistent. Replacing a tire brake system alone will not match, affecting flight safety; if the brothers send spare parts, the test flight will be postponed. Wu Qingjie led the crew to fight for more than six hours in a row. He simply changed all the brake systems of the entire aircraft to the same model. The ground inspection was passed once to ensure that the test flight was completed. In recent years, the aircraft maintained by Wu Qingjie has often been rated as a “model aircraft”.
This year, Wu Qingjie will retire gloriously and become the first "Bing Wang" in the history of a brigade of HNA in the southern theater. Wu Qingjie is also full of reluctance: "Don't despise ordinary positions, as long as you maintain your fighting spirit, you can also play brilliant music in ordinary positions."
