Chapter 215: Flight

As soon as the seriously wounded were gone, all that were left were inconsequential minor wounded, and after a few days of rest, they were basically healed, but I didn't know what to do next.

It is said that the training has ended, and there are no tasks for us to carry out for the time being, and I also hope to give the soldiers more time to recuperate, after all, such a life is a luxury for the members of our special reconnaissance team, so I pretend that I don't know anything and continue to wait in the ward.

However, the soldiers were 'quite self-conscious', and they did not need my orders or the urging of their superiors, so they joined the training team one after another very consciously. This is not? Within a few days, I was the only one left in the minor injury area who was still enjoying Qingfu.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but curse secretly, these guys really don't know what to do, I still stay in the ward completely so that they can rest for a while, but they don't say a word when they go to the 'jade'.

But then again, I'm the captain of the special reconnaissance brigade, isn't it? They saw that I didn't take the initiative to participate and thought that I had some injuries that I hadn't recovered, so who would dare to call me to participate in training! So I was bored, and after 'talking' to Liu Yun, I took the soldiers to train together that morning.

At this time, the training subjects are no longer as high-intensity as before, and there are also targeted 'sex', at most, it is only running and practicing coordination, etc., and there is plenty of time to rest during the training, the time of three meals is also very fixed, and the food is also very good.

After all, it's the time for the fighters to regain their strength after the war, isn't it? At this time, any kind of high-intensity training is not only bad for the physical health of the fighters, but also bad for the tasks that may be accepted in the future.

"If you don't go forward or retreat", this is right, I basically haven't been active for more than half a month, and now I'm a little out of breath after running five kilometers, but I think this is also related to the big and small injuries on my body, and I don't worry too much about it, because I know very well that as long as I run for a few days, I will recover quickly.

"Camp Commander Cui!" Just as I ran back to the base with the soldiers sweating profusely, Lin Xue handed me a document and said, "I heard that you have started training, so I have drawn up this training plan, you can see what to ask......

I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, it turned out that the eyes of my superiors were staring at me every day! If I had known, I should have been a little late.

After taking the 'wool' towel handed over by the guard and wiping my sweat, I took the document and opened it casually, which couldn't help but surprise me, raised my head and looked at Lin Xue and asked suspiciously: "What?" Do we also have to train to fly helicopters? "Yes!" Lin Xue nodded and said: "Considering that the special reconnaissance brigade needs to take helicopters many times, and the protection ability of our army's Zhiwu is very poor, and there are often cases where pilots are killed by the enemy, if no one can fly a helicopter at this time, the loss will be too great." So I think...... It is also necessary to have some knowledge of flying helicopters! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but nodded, and it should be said that Lin Xue's consideration is still very reasonable, our special reconnaissance team is a dragon on the ground, but it is in the sky...... Then they can only 'hand' their fate to the helicopter pilot, and if they have an accident on the battlefield, the eleven crew members on board will only have to wait for death. But if we all learned something about flying a helicopter............ You don't need to be skilled enough to be able to perform acrobatics in the air with a helicopter like Wang Yunming, you only need to know how to 'operate' or how to make a forced landing in an emergency, and it is very likely to save the 'sex' of more than a dozen fighters......

"No problem!" Thinking of this, I nodded and said, "Let's start doing it tomorrow!" But ten helicopters aren't enough for us to practice......" Lin Xue just smiled and didn't speak, and then I realized how ridiculous what I said.

Practicing driving a helicopter is not as simple as learning to ride a bicycle and learn to drive, at the beginning it will give us real helicopter practice, that thing that flies into the sky is an accident is an end of the plane destroys people, not to mention that the life of our special reconnaissance team members is a valuable resource, and the cost of this helicopter is nearly 500,000 yuan...... This 500,000 yuan is not our modern 500,000 yuan, in this era when a pack of cigarettes only needs a few 'cents' and ten yuan can 'get' a table of wine and food......

This 500,000 is almost a mountain of gold. So it is conceivable that even if we are not afraid of death and are willing to get on the plane to 'operate', our superiors will not let us practice with a helicopter easily.

The next day I understood what was going on......

At the beginning, it was Wang Yunming's theoretical class, which briefly talked about the flight principle of the helicopter, let us understand the structure of the helicopter according to the drawings, distinguish the position of the two pedals and the periodic pitch lever and the total pitch lever and the parts they control, and then how to control the lifting, translation and rotation of the helicopter, as well as the parameters and representations of various instruments......

Originally, I thought that flying was a difficult thing, which was why Lin Xue would be surprised when he gave me the plan, but after listening to what Wang Yunming said, I felt that it was not as difficult as I imagined. The pedal is used to control the tail propagion, and the two levers are used to control the main propeller, and then these things are used to adjust the output power of the end propeller and the main propagand, the angle of the rotating surface and the angle of the pulp blade to achieve the purpose of lifting, translating and rotating the helicopter.

It's going to be more complicated than learning to drive, but I think the bigger difference is...... If the level of learning to drive is not high, you just need to drive slowly, but if you drive a helicopter, a person who is not careful or is in a hurry is likely to fall from the sky, and there will be no second chance.

After the theory class, just as we were about to try our skills on the helicopter, we were taken to a row of "trainers" by Wang Yunming and other pilots, and in front of them, the so-called "city trainers" were actually a stool next to a stool with a few spring-loaded wooden sticks and planks to simulate the "" longitudinal rods and pedals of a helicopter, and then we were asked to sit on them one by one to ''......

Whenever we were 'operating' on it, Wang Yunming and the other pilots would watch from the sidelines, and as they watched, they gave instructions: "Ascend...... Wrong! The ascent is to pull the total distance rod ......",

Shift Right...... Go forward ......, what a name! Who told you to push the total pitch rod to the bottom in one go? If you were really on a helicopter, you would all be ruined! ”,

A lot of things are like this, and as simple as it sounds, it's not so easy to 'do'. It is said that the comprehension, acceptance, and psychological quality of our special reconnaissance brigade are not bad, but as soon as they sit on this "training machine," they are in a hurry and do not know what to do, and sometimes they do not 'operate' according to the instructions given by the pilots, and some of them are even more 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' to suppress the air; just like the pilots said, if this is practiced on a real helicopter, we really don't know how many times we have died.

However, I heard Wang Yunming say that the problems we face are not only these, such as the problem that the helicopter will make people dizzy and unable to figure out the direction when it shakes or rotates, and then the problem of not being able to correctly judge the altitude of the aircraft, and so on. In response to these problems, Wang Yunming and others also designed a set of training methods for us to adapt, such as asking us to sit on a swivel chair and turn a dozen times and then ask us to walk through a section of the balance beam.

In fact, I blamed myself for not seeing it clearly, Lin Xue had already written these training items clearly in the plan for me that day, but I didn't see the rest of the content at all.

After more than half a month of such training, the soldiers' condition was much better, and they were able to make corresponding actions in accordance with the pilot's instructions on the "trainer", and they could easily walk on the balance beam after turning more than a dozen times on the swivel chair, so Wang Yunming began to let us take turns to 'operate' on the real helicopter. Of course, at this time, the helicopter was still not started, and we were still like a "trainer", listening to the pilot's instructions and making various corresponding actions.

Of course, this is very necessary, because the 'operation' on the real helicopter and the 'operation' on the "social training machine" are completely different things, needless to say, the feel is different, think about yourself to drive such a behemoth, and you have to fly in the sky, then there will naturally be a kind of psychological pressure, although at this time we 'operated' the helicopter did not start at all......

"Forward, down, raise the nose...... Right! That's right! After I correctly completed all kinds of 'operations' in accordance with Wang Yunming's instructions step by step, Wang Yunming couldn't help but quip: "Battalion Commander Cui, I didn't expect you to not only fight, but also to fly a helicopter, maybe one day you will rob us of our jobs!" ”,

"Cut!" , I couldn't help laughing at myself when I heard this: "This hasn't been lifted off yet!" I'm worried that I'll rob you of your job......" "Honestly! Wang Yunming praised: "Your receptivity really surprised me, I want to ...... When I and other comrades-in-arms were studying in the Soviet Union, we didn't have you like this! ”,

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I heard this: "You learned to fly an airplane in the Soviet Union?" ”

"Isn't that right?" , Wang Yunming replied: "At that time, we didn't have a helicopter, and the Zhi-5 was made according to the drawings of the Soviet helicopter Mi-4, if you don't learn it in the Soviet Union, where will there be a place to learn it?" ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but nodded, the first batch of pilots was indeed like Wang Yunming said.

"Alas!" , and then Wang Yunming sighed and said, "At that time...... Our relations with the USSR are fine! I also had a lot of comrades-in-arms in the Soviet Union who studied to fly planes together, but I didn't expect it to be ...... now",

Although Wang Yunming's words were not finished, I knew what he was going to say later. Now that we and the Soviet Union are already tense, not to mention the relationship between Wang Yunming and his comrades-in-arms, even if there will be any dealings between them now, I am afraid that it will be the kind that has deteriorated, such as ...... I want to find out a little bit of information from Wang Yunming or engage in some espionage activities. Under this pressure, it was clear that he and his former comrades could no longer continue their friendship.

But I don't think it's a big deal, because this kind of friendship has nothing to do with the country.

Later, I learned from other pilots that Wang Yunming's problem was by no means as simple as I imagined, because it was not only his comrades-in-arms who remained in the Soviet Union, but also his lover and children......

"Don't talk about that!" Wang Yunming was silent for a long time before he said to me as if he had woken up from his memories: "Don't mention all those things that have gone over!" Let the warriors rest well tonight! Tomorrow will start practicing flying "......",

"Tomorrow?" , I asked Wang Yunming with some uncertainty: "Start practicing flying tomorrow?" ”,

Wang Yunming didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.

We've been in a helicopter many times, and we've trained with a helicopter countless times, it's quite another to 'operate' the helicopter ourselves and fly freely in the sky.

The next day, one by one, accompanied by the pilots, we drove the helicopters into the sky and then circled around the base, and we couldn't help but be happy. Every time a fighter flew into the sky in a helicopter, the fighters below let out cheers one after another.

Of the 170 or so members of the special reconnaissance brigade, except for those 'female' soldiers who were not required to be able to fly helicopters, the remaining 160 or so people completed their tasks without exception.

One of the reasons why the 'female' soldiers were not required to participate in helicopter training was that the 'female' soldiers were frightened when they heard that they were going to fly the helicopter, especially Liu Yun, who was said to have been unable to eat for two days when she heard the wind. Another............ The purpose of learning helicopters is to ensure that we can land safely in case of emergency, so generally speaking, only two or three soldiers on a helicopter can fly is enough, and 'female' soldiers do not need to participate in training at all. The superiors also considered these problems, and at the same time, they were also worried that if the 'female' soldiers were allowed to fly the helicopter, it would be a big problem in case something happened...... So I quickly agreed to our request.

Although today's test flight was only a short ten minutes for everyone, and most of the time was still on take-off and landing, it was the first step to a successful flight to the sky for us.

Of course, there are two small regrets, one is that a soldier was too anxious when landing, so that the helicopter was too heavy and "fell", and on the ground, he himself was fine, but the pilot in the passenger cab was stunned. Another "...... It happened to me......

Of course, Wang Yunming flew with me, and everything went smoothly at first, but when I flew a little higher, I fainted............ I've been learning how to '' a helicopter, but I've forgotten one of my fatal weaknesses, which is that I don't have a sense of direction......

It was better when I was on the ground just now, at least I knew the buildings, but as soon as I flew into the sky...... It seems that the scenery is the same everywhere, where is the southeast, northwest? Where do I go?

Right! Isn't there a direction gauge? But I looked at the direction on the direction desk...... I still don't know how to drive it............

"Go ahead!" , Wang Yunming waited for a while, but he didn't see any movement from me, so he urged next to him.

So I didn't think twice about pulling the '' pole and flew forward...... Ha! This feeling is really good, I have never experienced the feeling of flying in the sky like a bird, so I enjoyed '' the helicopter in the air and doing all the movements I had learned, Wang Yunming also watched from the side and did not speak.

I think his attention at this time may be on whether I will be up to standard when I complete these actions, and he did not notice that the helicopter had deviated from our predetermined orbit at all, but when I turned a mountain, I suddenly found a tall telephone pole towering in front of me, and I hurriedly pulled the '' longitudinal pole to pull the plane up, and the helicopter flew over the top of the telephone pole dangerously......

And I didn't expect that I would be so lucky, after passing the telephone pole, I immediately saw that the base was at my feet, and the soldiers were cheering for my "fine" "performance"!

"Good start!" When I drove the helicopter to a steady stop on the field, Wang Yunming didn't notice that I had already lost my direction, and thought that I was planning to be different and wanted to show off my skills in front of the soldiers! At this time, I secretly wiped a handful of sweat in my heart, what Wang Yunming didn't know was "...... We've actually picked up a life just now!

We conducted helicopter training for more than a month, and the fighters quickly mastered various flying skills.

I remember in modern times, I once heard that if ordinary people go to some flight school for training, it usually takes half a year to get a driver's license. Compared to them, we only need more than a month to learn, that can be said to be much better than them, but think about it, there is nothing to be proud of, we are a special reconnaissance brigade, isn't it? The special forces are not better than normal people, so what are the special forces?

Of course, it is impossible to get to the point of "proficiency" after more than a month of practice, but I believe that if anything happens in future battles, the fighters will be able to calmly cope with some urgent problems.

I also because of the first exam and forced' my own study direction to identify after learning and found that it was not as difficult as I imagined, although I am a road blind with a poor sense of direction, but I only need to learn how to look at the direction monitor, which may be a good thing for me. On the other hand, I don't really need to learn what direction to identify, do I? According to the purpose of our original learning to fly, in fact, it is almost the same as being able to drive the helicopter to land normally when the pilot has an accident!

I didn't think much of it, but what I didn't think about was that an incident that didn't take long ago made me realize that at any time, it's better to learn more than not to learn at all! At that time, I was sighing: Fortunately, I have already learned ......,
