"Among a thousand kinds of flowers, only you bloom in the clouds; among ten thousand kinds of umbrellas, only you soar in the blue sky. Umbrella flower, my partner, my wings, carry my singing and my pride,
Fly to all directions of the motherland.
Eight thousand miles of clouds and moon record our glorious history; ninety thousand miles of wind, snow and frost temper our iron backbone. Umbrella flower, my honor and my strength accompany my singing and my ideals to defend
The motherland is prosperous and strong.
The flying general descended from the sky majestically.
The airborne troops made heroic and heroic killing sounds.
Overcome all difficulties and dangers, break through dense forests and hills, pick up the fierce wind and fire, plunge into the enemy's chest, win every battle, win every battle, be brave and tenacious. We will create glory again in the front."
At Feilong Airport, a team of more than 3,000 people sang the song of the airborne troops and walked towards the me323 large transport aircraft nicknamed the Giant, which was newly added to the Chahar Air Force, parked at one end of the airport.
Equipped with six engines, this large transport aircraft, known as the originator of modern transport aircraft, can carry 130 fully armed soldiers or 15.6 tons of cargo. Its size is smaller than that of the now famous B17.
The fortress was even bigger. Moreover, it had a simple structure and was not prone to problems. Therefore, Chief Su took a liking to it at a glance and decided to use it as a vehicle for the newly formed airborne troops.
Airborne troops, also known as paratroopers, mainly use airborne landings on the battlefield as a combat method. They are characterized by lightweight equipment, high degree of motorization, and elite soldiers. Generally, they are organized at the division or brigade level and are directly affiliated with the corps level or above.
High-level command structure.
Chief Su's process of building paratroopers has always been stumbling. Since he came up with the idea half a year ago, he selected more than 3,000 soldiers from various units to form an airborne regiment and began the process of exploration.
But the process that makes Su Tong scratch his head the most is the selection of commanders. The selection of airborne commanders is different from the selection of general army commanders. He requires commanders to have strong fighting will, excellent cultural level, and
Only if you have the courage to risk your life and survive.
But Chief Su had previously searched through many generals of the Thirty-Seventh Group Army, but he could not find a suitable one. Either he was not smart enough, he was not brave enough, or he did not have the courage to sacrifice himself for others. He happened to accept Zhang Lingfu some time ago.
This fierce general, Chief Su thought about it for a while and then slapped his thigh fiercely, it was him.
In later generations, this man liked to do the trick of risking death and then resurrecting, and blooming in the middle. This kind of talent is simply born for a branch of arms such as airborne troops.
Didn't you see that the most famous saying of the paratroopers is: "We are born to be surrounded."
If such a talent is not allowed to command the airborne troops, even God will not forgive himself.
So, Su Tong took Zhang Lingfu to the airborne regiment and showed him the training of the airborne troops and their outline of combat requirements. As expected, this guy's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the airborne troops, without the need of Commander Su.
He agreed in one breath without any effort. This also made someone sigh in his heart: Alas, it seems that this brother is destined to be surrounded no matter in the future or in this life.
It was only after Zhang Lingfu became the commander of this airborne regiment that he had a more intuitive understanding of the characteristics and dangers of this unit.
According to the training syllabus and instruction manual given by Commander Su, the airborne troops are responsible for the most dangerous tasks and go to the most dangerous battlefields. According to the estimates of the staff department, even the most successful airborne operations have a casualty rate of
It is also over 70. Therefore, airborne troops must not only develop the best physical fitness and the best tactics, but more importantly, they must develop tough endurance and superhuman survival wisdom.
The amount of training the airborne troops undergo every day is astonishing, which makes Zhang Lingfu feel that life is just about constant training and sweating. In the morning, there is an unbeatable five kilometers, plus a three-hundred-meter frog jump, a hundred push-ups, and a hundred weights.
Squat, do one to five exercises on the horizontal bar, and do one to five exercises on the parallel bar.
They also have to jump off a platform more than two meters high thousands of times to exercise their leg strength so that they can withstand the huge impact of parachute landing; there are also rings, which are practiced to maintain the landing posture at high altitudes.
During this month, Zhang Lingfu regarded himself as a new recruit. In addition to high-intensity training every day, he also had to practice folding parachutes. Such high-intensity work made Zhang Lingfu, who had never been exposed to airborne troops, feel that
Have you eaten up all the suffering in your life this month?
Today was the first parachute practice for the soldiers who had been training for half a year. Zhang Lingfu led his soldiers onto thirty giant Me323 large transport aircraft that had been parked at the airport.
Soon, the plane flew to an altitude of three thousand meters. The dots of clouds outside the window made the soldiers who had never seen the beautiful scenery so close reduce their fear a lot.
The airflow in the sky changed greatly, and the plane rose and fell, as if flying on the waves. The cabin was stuffy and hot, and a staff sergeant serving as a parachutist kept talking and laughing in order to relax the atmosphere. Although the noise from the engine made the soldiers
They couldn't hear clearly at all. At the hatch, the first person to parachute was Zhang Lingfu, the leader of this unit. He had his helmet strap deeply dug into his chin, sweating profusely, and listened carefully.
When the plane descended to an altitude of 600 meters amid turbulence, the green light in the cabin flashed and two bells rang, "beep, beep". The sergeant opened the cabin door forcefully, and a strong and sobering air flow rushed into the cabin. Woods, rivers,
Rice fields flowed slowly under the wing, and the landing site was almost there.
The sergeant stretched out his hand to touch Zhang Lingfu's main and backup parachutes, patted him hard on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up. This was the last inspection before parachute jumping. This simple touch has already affected Zhang Lingfu's safety.
All parts were inspected. The soldiers in the engine room gave a thumbs up.
"Beep, beep", the yellow light flashed, and the soldiers stood up at the same time, lifted the stools and bent their waists, tucked down the seat belts, and assumed an off-camera posture. The helmets were pressed against the comrades in front, and they made a ready-to-go gesture.
posture. When the green light came on again, the sergeant in front of the hatch waved his right hand outward. Zhang Lingfu had jumped out of the hatch and disappeared suddenly.
Su Tong stood below the parachute area, looking at the black dots jumping out of the giant transport plane, and then there were more silver-white, grass-green, colorful, and red parachutes in the sky.
, embellish the sky extraordinarily beautifully.
Chief Su is still very excited. After today's jump, Chahar can be regarded as having an airborne force. The most important thing is that they are just a seed. As long as they have them, they will be in the future.
As more airborne troops appear, he will have an extra trump card in his hand.
Standing next to Su Tong was a middle-aged man in his forties who was nearly two meters tall. This guy was wearing Chahar's military uniform and had the rank of colonel. His blond hair and blue eyes and stiff face made him laugh.
People can guess his nationality at a glance. He is Colonel Kaunings who was specially invited from Germany by the Soviet Union to serve as Chahar sniper school.
At the same time, Colonel Cornings is also responsible for training the snipers of the airborne regiment. The characteristics of the airborne troops determine that they cannot carry large heavy weapons and equipment, and can provide them with very little fire support. So the sniper unit is
The important surname is immediately apparent.
Colonel Cornings was asked to take the lead in training a group of qualified snipers for the airborne regiment, so today he also came to participate in the founding ceremony of Chahar's first airborne unit.
"General Su, congratulations, you have a first-class airborne force in the world today." Suddenly Colonel Kaunings said this to Commander Su.
"Hey" Su Tong looked at the old man strangely. This guy rarely praises others. Why did he change his surname today?
Colonel Cornings glanced at Su Tong and said stiffly: "Although I don't want to, I have to admit that you are already ahead of our German Empire in this regard. Although we also have an airborne force, but
You are already better than our country in terms of equipment and training. Compared to you, our head of state pays more attention to the research of army weapons and expanding the size of the army. Especially this giant transport aircraft you have newly developed.
It’s even more awesome.”
When he heard this, even though Chief Su had developed a certain level of thick skin, he couldn't help but blush. He had plagiarized their patent and showed it off in front of them. Isn't it too much?
At this time, these airborne troops had begun to land on the ground one after another.
"boom"
Zhang Lingfu only felt a strong vibration in his legs. He leaned forward and ran a few steps according to the training requirements to offset the huge impact before sitting down on the ground.
"Damn, I finally landed." This was Zhang Lingfu's first thought at this time.
He quickly separated from the parachute and rolled up the parachute on the ground. Then he came to Su Tong and saluted and loudly reported: "Reporting to the commander, the airborne regiment has been ordered to organize the first parachute jump. It is in progress. Please give me instructions. Report."
Finished, Zhang Lingfu, Colonel Commander of the Airborne Regiment"
Su Tong smiled and waved his hand: "Do I have any good instructions? If you have completed this parachute jump today, it means that you are already a real paratrooper. There will be more difficulties and obstacles waiting for you in the future. Work hard."
Bar."
"yes"
After Zhang Lingfu saluted, he turned around and gathered the troops. Although there were some problems with today's parachute jump, for example, the troops were too scattered when they landed. Several soldiers floated to unknown places, and several soldiers were broken.
My leg was broken. But this is not a big problem. Su Tong believes that everything will be fine.
Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Su Tong laughed a few times. If I keep using the cloth for a long time, I will have more airborne troops. Little devil, I'm here.
