Li Qingcang was like a dog like a dog, frantically squeezing his potential by the two instructors day after day, and training desperately in the legion.

After some time, parachute training began, and all the recruits went to Calvi in the French island of Corsica for unified training.

This is the station of the Second Parachute Regiment of the Foreign Legion, and there are many venues and equipment for parachuting, and Li Qingcang has also temporarily ended the high-intensity physical training and received parachute training with everyone.

The whole training course takes three weeks and is divided into three parts, namely "Ground Week", "Tower Week" and "Real Jump Week".

In the "ground week" stage, there are more movements to train the legs, in addition to running and squatting, you must constantly jump from the platform at various heights to increase your leg strength and improve your landing skills.

Students had to jump into sand or gravel from platforms of different heights, simulating various terrains to practice the technique of landing with both feet at the same time.

A person can only withstand more than 100 kilograms of impact force when one foot lands on the ground, and more than 500 kilograms of impact force when landing on both feet.

The two instructors kept patrolling the edge of the jumping platform, and found that the soldiers who landed irregularly would shout angrily or physically punish them, and some unlucky ghosts had the wrong posture when they landed and sprained their ankles.

After a week of ground training, jumping up and down on platforms at different heights every day, everyone has basically mastered the landing technique.

The second week of training was a skydive at the tower, and this stage of the course was mainly focused on the training of the tower skydiving.

The recruits practiced not how to land, but how to control the parachute, starting with hanging on a zipline and sliding down the 20-meter-high tower, carrying an umbrella bag to simulate opening the parachute, and as their proficiency improved, the height of the tower also increased accordingly, and the height of 76.2 meters was their final goal in the second stage.

The recruits jumped directly from a height of more than 70 meters with umbrella bags on their backs, which not only overcame their fears, but also completed a series of actions to open the parachute in the air.

During the tower skydive, Instructor Thomas began to explain the theoretical knowledge of skydiving and how to deal with some emergencies.

For example, the main umbrella cannot be opened, the air is entangled with other people's umbrellas, the updraft is encountered in the air, it does not fall but rises, and it hangs on a tree or in the water when it lands...... Wait a minute.

On the first day of the third week, the instructor took Li Qingcang and them to the regiment's airfield and boarded a C-130 transport plane.

The recruits thought that they were going to jump from a height of several hundred meters later, and all of them, including Li Qingcang, were heartbeat, nervous, and the excitement of boarding a plane for the first time and the fear of jumping from a high altitude were entangled with each other.

When the plane reached 400 meters, the tail door opened, and the air flow from high altitude poured into the cabin at once, and everyone's ears were full of whistling wind.

Li Qingcang wore goggles and glanced at the tail of the open cabin, white mist filled the air, and the blue sky was like an endless abyss.

Before he could take a few more looks, the yellow indicator light at the tail of the plane had already lit up, and Instructor Thomas shouted loudly in the cabin with the wind whistling: "Listen up, check the umbrella bag on your body, don't hesitate when leaving the plane, try to jump out, don't roll over your body after leaving the plane, don't open your hands and feet, pay attention to the position of your teammates when descending, no matter what situation you encounter, don't panic, you still have a parachute to save your life, remember it with Lao Tzu, now listen to it, all stand up!" ”

A group of recruits stood up tremblingly, facing the air current, to the hatch, the first Romanian to jump, probably a Catholic, after the light turned green, Instructor Thomas yelled "jump", he was still scratching a cross on his chest, trembling, and his mouth was chattering and praying to Jesus.

Instructor Thomas saw that he was struggling, and without saying a word, he raised his big foot and kicked the recruit in the buttocks, and kicked him out of the hatch directly.

With a short exclamation of "ah", the recruit flew into the air, and the Romanian who was kicked into the air woke up, and quickly pulled the parachute line on his chest, and after a "bang", a white umbrella flower bloomed in the air, slowly fluttering in the blue sky.

Instructor Thomas was relieved to see that the soldiers who kicked out had successfully opened their parachutes, and turned his head to the soldiers behind him and yelled: "Bunnies! Jump down, don't be like a, paratroopers are fearless, only the brave can soar high in the sky like eagles! ”。

A group of recruits watched the Romanian being kicked out of the cabin mercilessly by the instructor, knowing that there was no way to escape.

They all turned their hearts sideways, gritted their teeth and jumped out of the cabin in turn. When it was Li Qingcang's turn to come to the cabin door, he didn't want the instructor to urge, and his feet slammed the cabin deck, and he rushed out more than seven meters away.

However, the plane moved forward at a constant speed in the air, and the distance advantage of these few meters was not obvious, and it did not attract the attention of the instructors and teammates.

After the lateral inertia of jumping into the air disappeared, Li Qingcang began to fall down at a speed of 50 meters per second, the wind was whirring in his ears, and the scenery of the earth below him rushed towards him, and he quickly turned his head to look around.

Look at the space around you is very large, there are no teammates near you, and there will be no situation where you will open the umbrella and get entangled with others.

Li Qingcang pulled the umbrella rope and pulled it hard, "Bang"! The parachute in the umbrella bag erupted, and the huge reaction force dragged Li Qingcang's body in the air, and he rose up slightly, and the parachute was completely opened, taking him slowly to the ground.

The teammates on the plane also jumped down one after another, and the blue sky bloomed with umbrella flowers like white clouds.

As soon as the descent slowed down, the wind around him was not so violent, Li Qingcang looked at the slowly approaching earth under his feet, and then looked at the blue sky beside him, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart!

He was a bold man, except for being a little anxious on the plane just now, and he completely calmed down after jumping off.

According to the course taught by the instructor, slowly pull the guide rope, adjust the direction of the parachute, float towards the landing point on the ground, and the various actions of the parachute are very well executed.

Float to the top of the umbrella target, slowly land, the moment he landed, his feet bent slightly, and then trotted forward a few steps in the direction of the fall, unloading the impact of the fall. The parachute behind him was also scattered on the ground, and the ground crew on the side came over to help Li Qingcang untie the parachute from his body, and then put the parachute on the military vehicle on the side.

Wang Weidong and Zhang Ziyu also fell from the sky one after another, both in the specified landing point, Li Qingcang hurriedly went over to help untie the parachute, the parachute landing was successful, the two fellows were very excited, several people hugged each other and shouted to vent their excitement. After the first two weeks of training, the recruits basically mastered the skills of parachuting, although it was the first time to parachute, that is, a little panicked when they did not jump, and when they jumped into the air and opened the parachute, the falling momentum slowed down, and everyone would calmly control the parachute line to land.

The regiment also took into account the problem of the first parachute landing, and chose to land on a huge meadow, without trees, buildings, ponds and the like, in case the recruits were careless and landed on these buildings or in the woods and ponds.

Therefore, when all the parachutes were completed, only one unlucky egg did not master the skills and fell to the shin of the calf, and there was no major accident.

The results of the first skydive were still good, and the two instructors also showed a little smile on their poker faces.

After a successful one, I made several more parachute jumps this week, basically once a day, and also did a night skydive.

After several parachutes, the recruits have overcome their fears, and they do not hesitate to jump into the air in the cabin day and night, open the parachute, and operate according to the technical essentials.

The last parachute, the difficulty has increased a little, everyone is fully armed, simulating a real combat parachute, there is an extra backpack and dozens of kilograms of weight on the body, and there are guns hanging in front of the neck, so it is more difficult to operate a parachute in the air. But after the first few skydives, everyone still completed the training smoothly.

Three weeks later, the parachute training was over, and Li Qingcang and the recruits returned to the 4th Infantry Regiment. Instructor Tony and Instructor Thomas began to train Li Qingcang alone, resuming his high-intensity physical training and teaching him the skills of survival in the wild.

The most important thing to survive in the wild is to get clean drinking water and food, and to keep your body dry to avoid loss of body temperature, so the first thing to teach is to make a fire in the wild.

In the absence of a lighter or match, the gunpowder in the bullet is the best ignition material, and the spark is ignited by hitting the flint with the back of the saber, and the fire is best with dry moss.

If you don't have any tools, you can also use strong branches or bamboo pieces to tie shoelaces and rope to make a bow, wrap a dry wooden stick around the bow, and use it to quickly rotate on a small piece of hardwood, and use the heat generated by friction to drill wood for fire.

In winter, you can also use ice to make convex mirrors, use optical principles to make fire, and so on.

It is best to choose clean water from cliffs and rocks, and it is best not to drink water from weeds or stagnant water in small pools.

To drink water from a river or lake, dig a small pit in the sand one or two meters from the water's edge, and the water seeping out of the pit is cleaner than the water extracted directly from the river or lake.

If you see a tree with lush foliage on one side and relatively few foliage on the other side, the leafy side is the south, and the sparse foliage is the north, but this method is only applicable to the northern hemisphere.

You can also look at the stars in the sky, the North Star is the best compass, and the direction where it is located is due north.

The Big Dipper, also known as the constellation Ursa Major, is like a giant spoon, which is easy to find in the clear night sky, and from the direction of the extension line of the two stars on the side of the spoon, about 5 times apart, there is a brighter star that is the North Star, which is due north.

If you have a watch, you can also use the watch to locate the direction, place the watch horizontally, divide the time by 2, and then find the corresponding position of the quotient on the dial, and then point this number at the sun, and the direction pointed by the "12" point on the dial is north.

For example, at 10 a.m., divide by 2 and the quotient is 5. Align the "5" on the dial with the sun, and the "12" will be north. Once the north is determined, the other directions are clear at a glance, but keep in mind that if it is in the afternoon, it should be calculated according to the 24-hour clock, e.g. 4 p.m., it should be counted at 16 o'clock.

The food is best for small mammals, and drinking raw blood can quickly replenish physical strength. Snakes and insects are also good options. There are also various fungi, as well as rhizomes of plants.

In general, the more colorful animals and plants are more likely to be poisonous, so it is a good way to learn to distinguish and use traps, falling rocks, and lassoes to catch small animals.

When encountering large creatures such as crocodiles, leopards, pythons, etc., it is best to leave the range of its territory.

The blackboard is filled with atlases of common and inedible plants and animals that can be eaten in the wild.

Li Qingcang frantically absorbed this knowledge like a dry sponge. He knew that these two instructors would never teach him without purpose, since it was a survival in the wild, one day they would throw him into a deserted place and let him complete the survival training alone.
