606 drops from high altitude and skydives

Everyone had a very peaceful night, mainly because the group members knew each other and knew each other, so the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.

But obviously, if you want to enter Unit 233, you can't have much time to relax.

After a good night's sleep, the chief instructor summoned everyone to the conference room early the next morning.

"Comrades, today our task is to learn and practice HALO and HAHO skydiving!"

HALO and HAHO?

Most of the people present were stunned!

Of course, everyone has done skydiving, and there are even people who are professional paratroopers and are special forces of the Air Force, but not everyone has heard of HALO and HAHO, and some people are confused when they hear these two words, of course, most people still know, but they just know, and they haven't done it.

HALO, or high-altitude dropping, low-altitude skydiving, is one of the most dangerous in skydiving.

"HALO", or High -Altitude- Lo- Opening, means that skydivers jump from a high altitude and skydive at a low altitude.

On Earth, this is a military parachuting technique developed by the U.S. Air Force in the 1960s for special forces infiltration missions.

The transporter flies at an altitude of 10,000 meters to avoid anti-aircraft missiles and artillery, and the paratroopers will descend to a low altitude at a very fast speed after jumping off the plane to avoid being identified on the radar as much as possible.

This allows special forces to quickly infiltrate enemy countries to carry out missions.

The idea behind HALO is to allow paratroopers to descend from the air to the ground as quickly as possible, while keeping them in the air for a shorter period of time, so that it will be difficult for the opponent's radar to detect them, and everyone can silently infiltrate into other countries' territory.

Since many HALO operations are performed at night, the danger is further increased.

Many HALO parachutes have a feeling of stillness after a minute of free fall, effectively levitating on a column of air that has been impacted.

Parachutes approach the ground at speeds of up to 250 kilometers per hour, which is very dangerous.

Most HALO parachutes use an automatic parachute opener, and they all wear an altimeter on their wrists.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the air temperature is below freezing, and the air is very thin, making it difficult to breathe, so the parachute is firmly fixed in a special insulated suit with a breathing apparatus, but the goggles and altimeter quickly freeze.

Before coming to Unit 233, everyone had played parachuting, but it was generally 400 meters or 800 meters high, but now, what everyone will learn is 10,000 meters of high-altitude parachuting, and this height of parachuting will be a necessary skill for the soldiers of Unit 233, and they must be able to master it proficiently.

The difference between Unit 233 and other special forces can be seen from this!

Other troops will, Unit 233 will definitely do, and the requirements are even higher!

Other troops won't, so will Unit 233, and they all have to master it!

Most of the soldiers of the other special forces have a unique skill, but the soldiers of Unit 233 must master at least three or more unique skills!

Gao Xifeng, whose body was as straight as a war spear, looked around and asked in a soft voice, "You shouldn't have done this kind of skydiving, right?" ”

"Nope!" Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"Good!" Gao Xifeng listened and nodded with satisfaction.

Judging from the data, none of the people here have engaged in HALO and HAHO, which is a good thing in Gao Xifeng's view, because this can reflect everyone's learning ability through this training.

I haven't learned before, I have learned together, so after learning and training, you can quickly see who has the better learning ability!

If you want to gain a firm foothold in Unit 233, you can't do it without a strong learning ability, all kinds of combat skills, all kinds of cultural skills, all kinds of other skills, you must learn, if you don't have a strong learning ability, you can't get a firm foothold in 233 at all!

So at this moment, Gao Xifeng heard that everyone had no experience with HALO and HAHO, and his face became more and more happy.

He first explained the relevant knowledge of high-altitude dropping and low-altitude parachute opening, and then took everyone to the training base for relevant training.

In the cabin, the ten members of the training team are all fully armed and dressed like future soldiers, which has a sci-fi feeling.

"The plane will send us to an altitude of 10,000 meters for an airdrop, after which we will open a parachute at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and then use the paraglider to glide a distance of 40 kilometers to reach the designated place. Everyone should pay attention to the control of the parafoil and pay attention to the altimeter! I will always remind everyone on the radio of various precautions, please pay attention to listen, if you encounter any problems, don't panic, ask me on the radio, I will guide you how to get out of trouble! ”

The chief instructor, Gao Xifeng, once again took the trouble to emphasize the precautions for skydiving.

Tick - Tick – Tick –

In the cabin, a red light suddenly flashed non-stop.

Gao Xifeng stood up: "Line up, prepare to parachute!" ”

Swish!

Ten members of the team immediately stood up and lined up in a neat line.

Gao Xifeng came to the front of the team, and he was responsible for guiding.

"Check the umbrella!" Gao Xifeng ordered.

The team members immediately began to move, first checking themselves, and then checking the umbrella bags and equipment of the team members in front of them, helping each other.

After the inspection, the team member raised his right hand and shouted: "Okay! ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

One by one, everyone raised their hands to indicate that there was nothing wrong with the parachutes of their teammates in front of them.

Gao Xifeng finally did an inspection.

At this time, someone opened the hatch!

Rumble!

The cold and bitter cold wind poured in fiercely!

One of the Air Force officers of the flight team stood next to the cabin, and he gave everyone a thumbs up, signaling that the hatch was open and everything was normal.

"Wear an oxygen mask!" Gao Xifeng shouted.

Everyone immediately put on the oxygen mask, and then raised their hands to indicate that they had put it on, everything was ready, and Gao Xifeng checked them one by one again, very cautiously.

If it's a night skydive, everyone still needs to wear night vision devices at this moment.

When everything was ready, the officer of the Air Force shouted at Gao Xifeng: "Jump!" ”

Gao Xifeng gave a thumbs up, and then suddenly began to accelerate forward, rushed forward a few steps, jumped forward, and jumped into the air.

"Jump!"

The crew member standing next to the hatch waved his hand outwards and signaled the second team member to parachute!

Bang bang bang!

Thundercloud ran a few steps, and then jumped into the air with a whoosh!

"Jump!" The staff shouted again!

Soon, the third team member jumped out.

The requirements for high jump and high opening are very strict, everything must be calculated and planned in advance, wind speed, wind direction, air pressure, temperature, etc., etc., must be done clearly.

It didn't take long for Su Qin's turn to do so!

Sou!

He jumped into the air.

Although he was wearing headphones, there was still a whirring wind in his eardrums.

He spread his arms and soared like an eagle.

A feeling of pleasure that has never been felt before is rippling in the heart!

Such a skydive, even in the wolf warrior, he couldn't enjoy it!

Very good!

He loved the feeling of soaring through the sky!
