Chapter 51: Fear of heights
Early in the morning, four straight 8-ka helicopters were parked on the wide training ground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, all the combat soldiers of the Dragon Whale Squadron, including the national defense cadets, had been concentrated. It's just that the equipment of the officers and soldiers today is not the same as usual.
In addition to the basic equipment such as Type 92 pistols, steel helmets, tactical vests, and backpacks, there are more Paratrooper Type 9 umbrellas, paratrooper daggers, goggles, and many more types of weapons carried.
For example: in the second platoon and the second squad, the sharpshooter Jiang Ning carried a W03 anti-materiel sniper rifle, the big-eyed Ma Xiaoyong carried a Type 88 sniper rifle, Yuan Mian carried a Type 95 squad machine gun, and the squad leader Geng Jiangbing, in addition to the Type 95 assault rifle, also carried a PF97 Type 93mm individual cloud burst rocket launcher, while the other soldiers were equipped with the Type 95 assault rifle that they usually use.
According to this kind of weaponry of each squad, there is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of a squad will be greatly increased, and even if it encounters an armored squad, it will be completely capable of fighting a battle.
As for why it is so strong in terms of weaponry? In fact, the reason is very simple -- In China, the Marine Corps is not as simple as a simple amphibious landing operation, but is positioned as a special operations unit integrating reconnaissance, operations behind enemy lines, jungle operations, operations in cold areas, desert operations, amphibious operations, decapitation operations, and so on.
"All of them, take a break!" Squadron Leader Zhang Hejun stood at the front of the team. Standing next to him were Xia Zhihe, Ren Quan, Liang Hualin and other three platoon commanders, who, like the soldiers, were also fully armed and paratroopers Type 9 umbrellas.
After hearing Zhang Hejun's command, 113 soldiers, including five trainees, immediately changed from other states to a standing posture.
"I'm glad it's time for another long-awaited skydive training. Are you ready?!" Zhang Hejun asked loudly.
"Always be ready to !!" the 113 fighters responded in unison with loud voices, the sound was deafening and overwhelming!
After the sound of the fighters responding stopped, Zhang Hejun asked loudly again: "What is our slogan?!"
"Use me !!in the first battle!" the soldiers replied again in loud and neat voices, all of which exuded the breath of an ace army.
Looking at the full mental state of the soldiers, Zhang Hejun nodded slightly and said, "I emphasize once again, every training and exercise is a real battle!"
After Zhang Hejun's order to board the plane was issued, the propeller of the Z-8KA helicopter was immediately activated, and the surrounding area was filled with a gust of wind and sand, which was quite a bit of wind and cold.
The fighters and cadets at the scene, together with the three platoon commanders, totaled 116 people, with an average of 29 people sitting on each helicopter.
After boarding, Yuan Mian sat in the third position on the left side of the cabin, on his left was the squad leader Geng Jiangbing, and on the left was the platoon commander Ren Quan, and on the right of Yuan Mian was Ma Xiaoyong, who had big eyebrows.
The speed of the helicopter's propeller was very high, and the roar it made was also very loud, and soon Yuan Mian felt that the helicopter was moving, and there was a feeling of slowly rising.
The altitude of the helicopter was slowly rising, and I don't know how long it was, Yuan Mian felt more and more uncomfortable, began to have a dry mouth, and cold sweat broke out on his head, while seeing that the other soldiers were still safe and smiling slightly.
The first to notice Yuan Mian's abnormality was the squad leader Geng Jiangbing, who saw Yuan Mian's face blue and his head broke out in a cold sweat, so he asked, "Yuan Mian, are you okay?"
Yuan Mian shook his head and said, "Squad leader, I'm fine, but I'm a little dizzy and uncomfortable." ”
Geng Jiangbing patted Yuan Mian, and said with a solemn face: "I know, a symptom like yours should be a fear of heights, but as a soldier, you have to overcome it, if you can't even overcome this difficulty, you don't deserve to be called a qualified soldier, understand?"
Yuan Mian nodded lightly, gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Got it, squad leader! I am the machine gunner in the squad and the main component of suppressing the enemy's firepower, I will not drag the squad back, squad leader, please rest assured." ”
At this time, Ren Quan opened his mouth and said: "Actually, skydiving is not so scary, you just need to enjoy the feeling of weightlessness in the air, this feeling of weightlessness is not something that can be enjoyed during ground training." ”
"Feeling weightless?" Yuan Mian secretly recited the term once.
"Well, yes. In fact, to be able to participate in skydiving training, you have already surpassed many of the national defense students of the same period, you know, maybe they may not have the opportunity to participate in skydiving a few times in their lives, most of them spend time on the ground. Come on! Recruit eggs. Geng Jiangbing said with a smile.
After about 10 minutes, the horn of the engine room sounded, and it was the pilot's voice: "We have arrived at the target island, open the hatch immediately, and all officers and men are requested to prepare for parachuting!"
After hearing the driver's notice, all the officers and men stood up, silently lined up in two rows, hung the hook on the parachute bag on the hanging pole, and then put on goggles.
According to the order, Yuan Mian was standing in the third to last position in the left row, although he was in the back, he still couldn't suppress his nervousness, as if he was like a cat about to fall into the water.
"Ang~~~" A sound of steel rubbing against each other slowly sounded in the cabin, and a salty sea breeze poured in from the cabin door, blowing everyone is refreshed.
When the hatch was fully opened, the soldiers in front of the queue jumped out of the helicopter one by one, and under the blue sky there were like round snowflakes......
Soon, it was Ji Da, Ma Xiaoyong, and Yuan Mian's turn.
I saw Ma Xiaoyong trotting for a while, and then jumped out of the hatch with a look of enjoyment, and Yuan Mian was shocked when he saw it.
Yuan Mian slowly moved to the hatch at a speed not much faster than the speed of a turtle, and saw a blue sea below, and a white and green island was wrapped in the middle of this blue sea, like a white and green jade on a blue cloth.
Perhaps this seemed to the other fighters to be a beautiful picture that could not have been more beautiful. But in Yuan Mian's opinion, it is not much better than horror movies.
"It's too high, it's too high, it has to be more than 800 meters high......" resisting the urge to turn back, Yuan Mian thought in his heart.
But before he could think about it, he was kicked hard by Geng Jiangbing on the buttocks, and suddenly fell out of the hatch!
"Ah~ah~ah!!......" A terrible cry sounded in the air, and after a while, the hook rope opened the umbrella bag behind Yuan Mian, and a round white flower quietly bloomed under the blue sky.
When Yuan Mian just fell off the helicopter, he looked at the rapidly approaching ground, and he was so frightened that he unconsciously closed his eyes and was afraid to look at it.
But after a while, he felt a pull behind him, pulling back his descending speed.
Only then did he open his eyes, and a beautiful picture came into his eyes: a flock of flying seagulls, white clouds, and faintly visible waves, plus the emerald beautiful island below.
This beautiful scene couldn't help but make Yuan Mian stunned, making him unconsciously forget his fear of heights, he grew up in the mountains, but he had never seen such a beautiful scenery-
This is the beautiful sea of the motherland, the blue sea and blue sky that they are worthy of protecting with their lives......
