As the training of the Armed Police Company was in full swing, the training of the Synthetic Battalion also entered a new stage. This new stage is the ultimate goal of our first practice of skydiving.
Speaking of this, the parachuting training in our synthetic camp has never been interrupted. We practice during the day and at night, and we jump in all kinds of terrain and climates. We carefully summarize our experience and carry out criticism and self-criticism after each parachuting.
He even once again pulled Chen Shengde's company from the airborne troops to be our "spawning training".
It is not difficult for us to do this now. On the one hand, the airborne troops have a strong relationship with us now. As Chief Zhang said, he will always regard our synthetic battalion as a part of their airborne troops.
I think it is also a glory for our synthetic battalion to be recognized by troops like the airborne 15th Army.
On the other hand, Commander Zhang also knew that sending people to train with us only has no harm to the airborne troops. If there is any harm, it means that we can provide more transport aircraft and a company of paratroopers for our synthetic battalion, which is for the number of
A huge army is nothing at all. However, there are many benefits, such as providing new tactics, new equipment, etc. for airborne troops while training.
Commander Zhang is not a fool, of course he knew that this is far more beneficial than disadvantages, so he sent Chen Shengde's airborne company to our troops again without saying a word.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Such high-density and high-quality parachuting training has made the parachuting skills of the synthetic battalion a qualitative leap, and even the professional paratroopers in the airborne troops are even worse than us.
This is not to say that the airborne troops are so bad, but because the airborne troops can use transport aircraft to parachutize due to equipment restrictions. The number of airborne troops is large, and the equipment, especially the transport aircraft, is seriously insufficient. In fact, it cannot be said that
The number of transport aircrafts in the airborne troops has a considerable number of transport aircraft, but one of the Yunwu can only carry a dozen troops. The hundreds of transport aircraft carry people to the sky and parachutize every day, and a military ship can also come down for a year.
I can only jump on one or two times.
Not like our synthetic battalion, at this time, our synthetic battalion had more than 30 transport aircraft... The transport aircraft expanded later were for us to facilitate our command, observation and replacement. There were more than 100 people in our special agent company.
There are more than ten people who only parachuted, and there are more than ten people who are under observation and command personnel, and there are also maintenance and repairs. There are not many more than thirty people for us.
In addition, our snipers must also carry out parachuting training... This is inevitable. Now for our synthetic battalion, snipers are almost equivalent to the eyes of the entire army being arranged on high places. It will not only attack.
The troops provide cover. They will also provide enemy information to the troops in a timely manner and issue warnings in advance.
Because of the importance of the sniper troops, they followed the agent company to conduct parachuting training.
Then I have to consider asking the armed police company and the tactical company to conduct parachuting training. The armed police company needs to conduct this training because in combat, illegal elements are likely to hide in the deep mountains and forests where ground transportation such as cars cannot move.
Practice ropeways and parachutes are also necessary. Not to mention the tactical company, as a unit that cooperates with other troops, especially a member of the synthetic battalion, it is even more necessary to be able to quickly maneuver to any position.
And the ability to quickly enter the battlefield.
It is precisely because of these training needs that our requirements for the number of transport aircraft are increasing, and the airborne troops are very generous to respond to our requests, so the number of transport aircraft has increased to more than 30.
After the agents used this transport plane to jump, they started training in helicopter parachuting.
There is no need to mention the benefits of parachute jumping with helicopters. Because the helicopter speed is slow and the altitude is low, the paratroopers have a short time to stagnate the air and the area is very small. The short time to stagnate the air means that there is less reaction time left to the enemy. Paratroopers are caught in the air
The possibility of the enemy shooting is small; small spread area means that the paratroopers can gather and form combat power in the shortest time.
Although the time gap is not very big, on the battlefield, it is often just a little gap that can determine the outcome of the entire battle. Therefore, it is still necessary to practice helicopter airborne.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Helicopter airborne has many benefits, but it is precisely because of its slow speed and low altitude that increases the risk of parachute drops in stages.
But I don't need to worry about these. Zhao Jingping and other staff members quickly formulated a complete set of training plans... I think the reason why they and their staff members were able to formulate appropriate plans so quickly was entirely due to their participation in parachute jumping.
Training, know the risks of skydiving.
Their method is to proceed step by step, first using helicopters for light-mounted, high-speed, and high-altitude parachuting. That is, at the beginning, it only carries a gun without even carrying a bullet, allowing the helicopter to parachute at a suitable height at a faster speed.
By the way, the maximum flat speed of the Zhiwu is 210 kilometers per hour, while the maximum speed of the Yunwu is 256 kilometers per hour. That is, the Zhiwu is flying at the maximum speed, which is almost the same as the Yunwu flight slower.
Then the height is controlled to about seven or eight hundred meters, so this gives the soldiers a lot of time and space.
Then, after the soldiers gradually became familiar with the turbulence near the helicopter and knew when it was appropriate to open the parachute, the soldiers gradually increased the load on the soldiers and gradually reduced the speed and altitude of the helicopter.
This training plan was undoubtedly very successful, because the soldiers had already added weight to fully armed and reduced the height to 600 meters in just over a month. This could almost be said to have reached the level of Soviet helicopter airborne troops.
Of course, because the umbrellas currently equipped by our army have many shortcomings, it is difficult to increase the weight and reduce the height.
Just like Chen Shengde said: "Our generation of umbrellas has little bearing capacity. If you go with such a fully armed low-altitude skydiving, it will be easy to have problems!"
What I learned from Scar is the same. Although the soldiers were very careful during training and tried to choose a flat and easy-to-jump terrain, as the height decreases and weight increases, the impact force during landing also follows.
As it gets bigger and bigger, more than ten soldiers have twisted their feet or shuddered their waists. The most serious thing is one of my guards. When they landed, they didn't stand firm and their butts hit the pebbles heavily...
...It is said that the cow tongue-shaped pebbles were cracked in half, and you can imagine what kind of impact the guard was exposed to.
The guard couldn't get up at that time, and later he was sent to the hospital for examination... a coccyx fracture. The disease was found. He didn't even dare to touch the chair when he was having a meeting and had a meal. It hurt so much when he sat down.
I still sleep at night, lying on my back or on my side, and I have to lie down, so I lost a lot of weight in a few days.
But even so, he insisted on participating in the training. I couldn't bear it and said to him: "Xiao Zhao, if you really can't stand it, let's demobilize it. Anyway, there is a company behind us, so you don't have to worry about finding it or not.
Do it!”
"Battery Commander, I can do it!" The guard surnamed Zhao replied without thinking: "It's just a little injury, it's okay! I'm a guard. If you can't bear this little pain, how can you protect it?
Chief?!"
I didn't say anything more after he said this. I admire Xiao Zhao's perseverance from the bottom of my heart. At that time, I was thinking in my heart... If I encountered his same situation, I would be afraid that I would make an excuse.
He retired and returned home. But he was able to persevere in the army, and even during normal training, he couldn't tell at all that he was hurt.
I don't know if this is called stupid, but I know that there are still many people like Xiao Zhao in our army. Although the military culture level in this era is not high, the spirit of hard work and hard work is really unspeakable.
.
Although there are not many injured soldiers, except for Xiao Zhao, there are all minor injuries. Not to mention parachuting, the routine training of our synthetic camp is inevitable.
But this also reminded me that I can't continue like this. I don't want the elite soldiers I have worked hard to be injured and unable to go to the battlefield because of the umbrella. Even if they are injured, they will be injured on the battlefield.
However, at this time I was in a dilemma. Don’t continue to increase the difficulty. This seems to not meet the requirements on the battlefield. The soldiers brought too little equipment, which is what the airborne troops said before, one bar, one gun, and one umbrella, and even
Even machine guns or light mortars cannot be carried. How much role can a unit full of light weapons play in the battlefield?!
But if we increase the difficulty, it may not only not only fail to achieve the goal we expect, but also likely to lose a large number of people before we even go to the battlefield!
Just when our training was stuck in this bottleneck, Zhao Jingping, who was following the phone call, shouted excitedly in my direction: "Battery Commander, it's Commander Zhang's phone number. We have successfully developed the second generation of umbrella tools.
In a week, we will rush to make two hundred sets and deliver them to us!"
"Um?!" I couldn't help but look frowning when I heard this. This umbrella tool was really timely. If these umbrella tools meet my requirements, that is what I said to Li Li at the beginning: It has a greater bearing capacity and is smaller.
All these problems will be solved easily.
Then I quickly thought: This second-generation umbrella tool can enter the mass production process in such a short time after I made the request. Li Li must have played a big role in this. It seems that one night will it still be
