Chapter 298: Are you hanging on the tree again?
‘Swoosh!’
A cold wind thrust violently on everyone's body, and the whistling sound rang in my ears. The powerful airflow made the soldiers who had just jumped off the plane unable to open their eyes.
But they still forced themselves to open their eyes. As the parachute opened, Li Changjun felt that his body was pulled down by something, and his body's speed suddenly decreased.
But at that moment, Li Changjun still felt very uncomfortable, and his body seemed to be about to be torn apart, and it was in great pain.
However, Li Changjun didn't care about this. After the parachute was opened, he directly grabbed the two ropes in the control direction with both hands and made appropriate adjustments according to his position, so as to avoid being hung by branches or something as much as possible.
Li Changjun never dreamed that he would join one of the most mysterious airborne troops in China. This army that he had never heard of before was now encountered.
And the most important thing is that he has not practiced skydiving seriously several times.
He practiced about a few hundred landing movements on the ground, and then under the guidance of the instructor, he performed several parachuting from the plane, and then jumped several times independently. From the beginning of the parachuting to the final mission, he did not exceed twenty times.
When it was too late, it was two or three times a day, and five or six times a day. Every skydiving gave him a different feeling, but in the end, Li Changjun still summed up a feeling that everyone agreed with.
It's so exciting, it's not something humans can enjoy.
Paratroopers are born surrounded. This is what their instructors told them and also told them the reason for this sentence with practical actions.
Every time they train to jump, they don’t just jump down and finish it, just like the task issued by the corporal just now. After landing, they have to arrive at the assembly site within ten minutes.
If you don't arrive, join the class unit closest to you as much as possible. Of course, everything will not be smooth sailing. There are no longer many old bird paratroopers waiting for their arrival on the ground.
From the moment they jumped out of the cabin, they were surrounded by the "enemy", constantly attacking them, constantly causing them to be various obstacles, and preventing them from going to the assembly site.
The longest exercise took place for a whole afternoon, which was the most proud of Li Changjun, and only that time. He successfully joined other comrades, and it was also the first time he did not die in the exercise.
Before he could recover from his excitement of progress, Li Changjun was sent to the battlefield. The entire airborne division was divided into eight batches and would be all put on the battlefield within one day.
The mission of the Airborne Division today is also divided into three stages. After the first batch of 4,000 airborne troops landed, they must gather to hide and investigate the surrounding environment, enemy situation and other tasks.
Only when the second batch of airborne troops arrived would they slowly expand their search range, and only when the third batch of troops arrived would they launch an attack on the enemy.
Of course, this is just a plan. If you jump into the surrounds of the Japanese, you will have no time to get involved and you can only draw your guns and start the war.
The entire airborne division is divided into three areas for airborne. After joining forces, it will begin to advance northward. It will squeeze the area of activity of the Japanese army as much as possible.
Feeling the whistling wind in his ears, Li Changjun shivered. Although it was June, the weather gradually became hotter, and even the Northeast was no exception.
If you skydiving from hundreds of meters above the sky, you will still feel a little cold. Fortunately, the height is pretty good. If it goes well, they can reach the ground in about one minute.
Li Changjun pulled down the direction line in his right hand, and the parachute that he received the order also shifted to the right, as if he had a sympathy with Li Changjun.
'thump!'
After a light sound, Li Changjun fell to the ground, but soon he stood up with all his heart.
Although he practiced parachute less often, his feeling about parachute jumping is getting better and better. This time, he is not only not injured, but also more and more comfortable controlling the parachute.
Immediately afterwards, Li Congjun quickly took off the strap of the parachute linked to his body, and quickly folded the parachute according to the regulations, and stuffed it into the backpack behind him. After checking all this, Li Congjun quickly took off his weapon and ran towards the assembly site.
When he was in the air just now, he had already seen their assembly place. After looking at the sand table countless times, they didn't dare to say that they knew the terrain here, but it was still okay to find the assembly place.
"Brother...brother, come and help!"
Li Congjun was walking towards the assembly ground when he saw a white parachute hanging on the tree from a distance, so he turned a little and walked over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked in, the scene in front of him shocked him. A soldier was hung perfectly on the branches, and his whole body penetrated through the big tree. The dense branches did not cause any harm to him, at least on the surface.
Moreover, there was no pain on the soldier's face. After seeing Li Changjun coming, he looked at Li Changjun with a smile, as if he had met his own Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"OK."
Li Changjun responded, then raised the rifle in his hand and kept moving the muzzle as the soldier swayed.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I asked you to help me get me down, but I didn't ask you to help me give me a bullet."
Seeing this, the soldier's face changed and he hurriedly said loudly.
"You won't cut the rope with a dagger yourself? You'll cut the rope when I go up. What if the Japanese come? I'll cover you and hurry up and be quick."
Li Changjun smiled and cursed, put down his gun, and quickly scanned the surroundings. As long as there was any abnormality, he would react as soon as possible.
The soldier could only take out his dagger helplessly, and at the same time he was muttering some reluctant words, as if he was saying goodbye to his parachute.
However, the next scene shocked Li Changjun, and the soldier quickly cut off the rope on one side and then climbed up the rope on the other side.
After a few seconds, he climbed onto a thick tree trunk, and then took off the strap linked to the parachute on his body. He carried an empty parachute bag and arrived next to Li Changjun in less than half a minute.
The whole process is less than a minute, and all the movements are very coherent. Without regular practice, it is difficult to reach this level.
"How is it? Are you good at it?"
The soldier patted Li Changjun on the shoulder proudly, as if he was very satisfied with his movements. At the same time, he felt very comfortable when he looked at Li Changjun's surprised expression.
"How many times have you been hung on a tree?"
Li Changjun asked a very shameless thing in a daze.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the soldier's face suddenly changed. He seemed to have encountered a terrifying plague, and he repeatedly changed the topic and stopped mentioning this topic.
Speaking of which, even he is very depressed, why do he always encounter such a thing?
The first time I was lucky to jump, I landed directly on the flat ground, but my ankle was sprained. After raising it for a few days, I recovered. Then when I jumped for the second time, I felt that since I was a paratrooper, I must face the fate of being hung on a tree when I jumped.
So he used to make himself hang on the tree, and the result was obvious that the first time he had no experience, he suffered a little injury. But it was all skin trauma and it didn't matter.
Seeing that someone came to save him soon, he felt very proud. He finally found a way to protect himself from landing safely.
As a result, whenever he had the chance, he leaned on the tree. Later, he became accustomed to it, so naturally no one came to save him again. So he gradually began to study how he should quickly save himself if he was hung on the tree.
Then, the scene just now came about.
Li Congjun and the other two were tying, and with nature as a cover, they quickly rushed towards the assembly ground. The way seemed to be very smooth, with no Japanese stops at all, and all the airborne division comrades were rushing to the assembly ground.
Yi Yang looked at his pocket watch. It was nine minutes before they landed. He arrived in the seventh minute. Before he arrived here, six soldiers were waiting here in his squad.
In the next two minutes, five more soldiers arrived. His squad had gathered eleven soldiers so far, plus twelve of them. If it were placed in the past, it would have been considered as completing the mission, and there were indeed only twelve people in one squad.
But about ten days ago, they had just expanded their troops, and his squad also changed from twelve to sixteen, which means that there are still four people who have not returned to the team.
One shift is parachuting together on a transport plane, and the distance between everyone landing will not be much different, so the time to arrive at the assembly point should be almost the same.
As ten minutes were about to pass, they were about to transfer. Regardless of whether there were Japanese troops around, they had to transfer according to regulations, and the soldiers who had fallen into the team could only join other classes alone or form a new class freely.
Although that is not helpful to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops, it is easier for them to survive than to work alone.
One, two, three, at the tenth minute pass, three more soldiers returned to the team. Yi Yang turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him, and couldn't help but pray in his heart.
Li Changjun was a new recruit, and his experience was relatively insufficient. Compared with the other three new recruits, he might not have been so lucky. He did not meet his comrades in his squad around him when he landed.
If Li Changjun has not returned after the time has come, Yi Yang hopes that he can join other classes instead of dying during the parachuting process.
The hour hand happened to point at exactly eight o'clock. Ten minutes passed, but Li Changjun still did not appear in front of everyone. Yi Yang shook his head and began to gather the troops to follow his company to leave here.
At the same time, Li Changjun and the soldier were running towards the assembly point desperately. Seeing that everyone was still here, although they were already planning to leave, they were relieved and finally followed the team.
"Report to the squad leader, I delayed some time because I saved him and asked to return to the team."
Although the soldier was disdainful to make excuses for himself, the soldier's previous performance shocked him too much. Although the squad leader would not punish him because he was less than a minute late, he still decided to tell the squad leader the truth of the matter.
