The picture shows the red sun shining, the fighter plane flapping its wings and soaring. An airport in Jiangnan, the wind is cold. As a signal bomb broke through the sky, a cross-day and night flight training of a certain land aviation brigade of the 72nd Group Army began. After the fighters took off, courses such as multi-plane formation flights and hidden breakthroughs in valleys were launched one after another. In the tower command room, the personnel in each position are flying with their fingers and transmitting air information in real time; the flight commanders keep a close eye on the electronic screen, pay close attention to the air situation, and issue instructions one after another according to changes in the battlefield situation. "Strike at 'enemy' ground targets!" After receiving the order, the pilot, Xie Jichuang, flew the fighter plane over the target. Suddenly, a voice warning came from his ear, reminding him to enter the detection range of the "enemy" radar. Xie Jichuang decisively lowered the flight altitude, and then turned a steep slope into the attack route, jumping, dive, locking, and then attacking the target. In another training airspace, the red and blue game unfolded fiercely. From long-range to close-range, from tactical sneak attacks to head-on confrontations, the fighters of the red and blue sides constantly carry out offensive and defensive conversions, and the air situation is unpredictable. After the start of the new year's training, the brigade set up a complex battlefield environment, integrated the "enemy"'s situation, special situation, and tactical background into the entire process of confrontation training, and focused on tempering the pilot's psychological quality and ability to deal with the aircraft. In the evening, the fighters who participated in the training returned one after another. After a short break, the pilots took off again, and a night battle ensued...
