In the huge cabin of the IL-76, Qin Fei was dressed like a future soldier and sat on the bench seat.
Next to him were eight other training team members dressed exactly like him, and Lei Gong himself sat opposite them.
The reason why he feels like a future warrior is because Qin Fei is wearing a set of HAHO equipment, which is a bit bulky.
According to the mission requirements, the IL-76 transport aircraft will begin to airdrop the team at an altitude of 10,000 meters near the national border. After the team leaves the cabin, it will open a parachute at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and then use the parafoil to glide 40 kilometers to the designated joint point.
.
Parachuting at an altitude of 10,000 meters is generally used for special operations, because at this altitude, the parafoil can glide with the help of air currents to a maximum distance of 80 kilometers! It can effectively avoid local radars and sneak into the opponent's target without anyone noticing.
hinterland.
High-altitude high-opening jump, known as HAHO (high-altitude high-opening) jump internationally, is extremely dangerous.
This is equivalent to parachuting at the height of Mount Everest. After leaving the cabin, the temperature will quickly drop to minus 40 degrees. Without special equipment, people will soon freeze into popsicles. In addition, the air is thin, so you must carry an oxygen breathing device.
, Wear cold-proof clothing, and wear a special helmet and mask.
Didi didi——
A red light flashed in the cabin.
Lei Ming, who was sitting opposite, stood up first and gestured to everyone: "Line up and prepare to parachute!"
Lei Ming stood at the head and was responsible for guiding, and everyone followed behind like skewers of meat.
Suddenly remembering something, Lei Ming turned around and walked to Qin Fei, patting him on the shoulder: "Follow the team member in front of you and control your parafoil! Watch your altimeter!"
Qin Fei didn't say anything, just nodded as an answer to Lei Ming.
He couldn't help feeling a little nervous inside.
Among all the people, his skydiving skills are actually the worst. Although he later trained in fixed-point skydiving and the like, in terms of experience, he is still a rookie in the team.
"Check the umbrella gear!"
Under Thunder's loud orders, everyone began to check the parachute bags and equipment of the comrades in front.
Xu Wu, who was behind Qin Fei, helped Qin Fei check the umbrella and comforted him loudly: "Qin Fei, I will follow you behind. If you fly wrong, I will guide you in the headphones!"
Qin Fei nodded again gratefully.
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
After the inspection, everyone raised their right hands to indicate that there was nothing wrong with the equipment.
Buzz——
The rear door of the IL-76 cabin cracked a crack.
After opening it just a few inches, Qin Fei could feel the biting and cold wind pouring into the cabin.
An Air Force officer from the flight team stood next to the cabin and gave everyone a thumbs up, indicating that the cabin door was open and everything was normal.
"Put on your oxygen mask! Put on your night vision goggles!"
Lei Ming shouted, first put on the oxygen mask and night vision goggles, and then raised his hands to indicate that he was ready.
Everyone followed suit, put on masks and night vision equipment, and raised their hands to signal.
Jin Donghai, who was standing behind Lei Ming, originally belonged to the Air Force Special Forces and was an expert in parachuting. When he saw the crew member's gesture indicating that he could parachute, he patted Lei Ming on the back.
Lei Ming began to run faster, rushed forward a few steps, jumped, and disappeared without a trace in the vast darkness like a leaf thrown into the strong wind.
"Jump!"
The crew member standing by the door stretched out his palm, beckoning everyone to jump.
Jin Donghai jumped out second.
It was Qin Fei's turn. The person in front of him was the singer. After the singer jumped out, he was faced with a biting cold wind. Even though he was wearing cold-proof clothing and warm gloves on his hands, Qin Fei could still feel the coldness like insects crawling all over his body.
Same as getting into his own collar.
There was a dark night sky in front of him, and the stars seemed to be right above his head, within reach.
Qin Fei was secretly glad that at least the weather was good.
Xu Wu patted him hard on the back. Qin Fei gritted his teeth, took a few steps forward, and jumped out at the rear of the cabin.
His body fell like a lead weight. Qin Fei quickly opened his limbs and bent his body in the opposite direction to maintain a stable posture.
High jumps and high openings have very strict height requirements. Everything is calculated in advance, such as wind speed, wind direction, air pressure, temperature, etc. Opening a parachute at 8,000 meters is the result of scientific calculations. At this altitude, gliding to 40 kilometers away is today
This kind of weather is most suitable.
Qin Fei tried his best to use the strong airflow to stabilize his posture, and then looked at the altimeter on his wrist to ensure that he could open his umbrella in time at an altitude of 8,000 meters.
For HAHO skydiving, altitude control is very important.
Even through the headphones, Qin Fei could still vaguely hear the whistling wind.
He finally stabilized his posture and soared in the air like an eagle with spread wings.
Looking through the sight of the night vision device, he could vaguely see the singer in front of him, but no one else could see him. Qin Fei did not dare to turn back to look for Xu Wu. This would easily cause him to lose control of his posture. Once he rolled in the air, he would have to spend a lot of time.
It takes longer to restore the correct parachute opening posture.
For a rookie like him, everything must be done carefully.
The first mission was actually a HAHO mode operation, which really made Qin Fei very excited.
If in an ordinary special forces, such a mission, such a parachute mode, I am afraid that they will not encounter it once until they retire.
