Chapter 1445: Failure to Respond

 &;&;

The parachute slowly fell, and Lin Rui tried to maintain correct breathing, relying on his ears to analyze the airflow, and then adjusting various parts of his body to keep his body in a balanced state. First-class skydivers must know how to maintain their open attitude according to the air current, control their main wing according to the air flow, and also know the correct timing of the main wing cutting and auxiliary parachute.

Military skydiving is different from civilian and recreational skydiving, and the most prominent thing is that military skydiving requires the parachutist to land at as high speed as possible to avoid attacks and ambushes from land and buy enough time for their side to react. And the landing speed must take into account the ability of the human body to withstand the impact, because a small injury may make the soldier incapacitated, and even affect the completion of other comrades and the entire combat mission.

Therefore, in military parachute landing, it is necessary to rely on a special landing posture to ensure that no damage occurs during the impact of high-speed landing. Since the advent of military parachuting, the airborne troops of various countries have had very strict requirements for the parachute landing posture. In the vast majority of countries in the world, the tumbling skydiving landing position is commonly used.

However, unlike most countries, China and some countries in the former Soviet Union have adopted a half-squat skydiving landing position. The semi-squat skydiving landing posture requires the lower limbs to be in a semi-squat posture when not landing, so as to achieve "three tight and one flat", that is, the legs are bent, and the knees, ankles, and the inner sides of the forefoot are clamped together, and the soles of the feet are parallel to the ground.

Its main feature is the active and large flexion of the lower limb joints after initial contact, which reduces impact overload and prevents potential injury by extending the buffering time and increasing the buffering distance.

The "three tights" are to ensure that both legs can withstand the impact at the same time and avoid damage caused by carrying them alone, which is consistent with the improvement of the tumbling parachute landing method in the United States in June 1943 based on a survey, and is believed to help keep the muscles in good condition and reduce damage.

The "one flat" is to ensure that there is the maximum contact area between the human body and the ground from beginning to end, which is similar to the requirement in Australia's tumbling landing.

Internationally, it is generally believed that the impact overload on each segment of the body when landing in a side-roll position is much smaller than that when landing in a half-squat. When a rollover landing is used, the segments of the lower limbs and their joints move in rotation.

This kind of movement is conducive to changing the strain energy stored in elastic materials such as muscles and ligaments, so that its ability to absorb impact energy is enhanced, and it plays a greater cushioning role, so that the impact overload of each segment is reduced. Therefore, from the point of view of reducing the impact overload of the human mass center, feet and various segments, the side-rolling and rolling posture is better than the half-squat posture when parachuting and landing. However, there are also studies that point out that the half-squat method is superior to the tumbling style.

The so-called novices are afraid of getting out of the cabin, veterans are afraid of landing, this is a famous saying about parachuting, the correctness of the landing posture is very critical, in fact, many paratroopers in various countries will break their legs because of a moment of negligence. Lin Rui's landing posture is a standard semi-squat landing, fast and fast, but the impact is slightly greater.

After he landed, he quickly unhooked his parachute, raised his gun to check the surrounding situation, and then looked at the meeting place marked on the PS locator, he didn't deviate too far, but a few team members fell farther away. He received information from the team through a communication headset and quickly rushed to the meeting place.

"Safe nearby, we were on our way to the meeting point. Sergei's voice replied inside the headphones.

"Very good, what about the others?" Lin Rui continued to ask.

"No problem, I'm with the chief, Sausage, and I'm on my way to the meeting point, captain. Cookie replied.

"Okay, we'll see you at the rendezvous point. When Lin Rui arrived at the assembly point. Shogishi and Yelena had already arrived, and he shrugged, "You're faster than me. ”

"I was a member of the Skydiving Club when I was 17 years old. As for Yelena, she was a professional athlete in Russia. Shogishi shrugged, "It's not like you're ahead of us in everything." ”

Lin Rui shook his head, "Contact Cobain." Ask him when our aid will arrive. ”

Shogishi nodded, pressed the headset and contacted the communications officer of the technical department, Cobain, "Hey, Cobain, we have arrived at the intended location. Yes, half an hour earlier than expected, so when will our aid arrive?"

Cobain's voice was a little helpless, "Sorry brother, our informants in Syria are obviously not very reliable. He was supposed to pick you up in a truck at this time, but half an hour ago, he lost contact and I couldn't tell him. ”

"Half an hour ago, what are you kidding? This is a secret mission, what if this informant is caught, and you didn't notify us until now?"

"Don't worry, he can't betray you, because I didn't give him your landing place until the last minute. I'm sorry, but we don't have as much control in the Middle East as we do in Africa. Cobain reluctantly said, "There aren't many people who can win over to do things for us." ”

"But what do we do now, are you going to let us hike through this desert?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Don't be like this Rick, it's just that something went wrong, and I'm trying to fix it. Twenty minutes, you give me another twenty minutes, and I'll arrange for another car to pick you up. Cobain was a little helpless.

"Okay, let's do it for now, you go ahead and arrange the men and cars. We can't wait here long, though. The parachute landing just now is obvious and will attract the attention of nearby armed men. There are many factions of these Syrian militias, and there is no need for us to clash with them and cause other problems later. So we have to avoid this. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "I need you to chart a route for us." Go to the nearest town, we need to get some news from there, or see if we can get a car. ”

"Okay Rick, I'm really sorry. Cobain sighed.

Lin Rui didn't say much, although he was not satisfied, but he also knew that Cobain did his best. The Black Island Company's control over the Middle East is indeed limited, and the foreign aid they can obtain at present mainly comes from other companies in the International Mercenary Alliance, and the quality of these mercenary companies is uneven, and the informants they provide are even more unreliable.

If something goes wrong, there is nothing Cobain can do. What better way could he, a technician from the headquarters on St. Kaiser Island, do they have to solve the problem on their own.

Lin Rui turned to look at the brothers and said in a low voice, "Are all the people together?" We have encountered a little problem now, the receiving vehicle cannot arrive, but we must evacuate quickly. Therefore, I can only give up some hidden equipment and move forward as lightly as possible. ”
