356. Mobilization for parachuting
The morning of early autumn is slightly cool, it is the autumn high air, the wind and the sunshine are beautiful, very suitable for parachuting, after two months of basic intensive training, the special forces have fully mastered the basic skills of parachuting, today began the first parachute jump, only to see the special forces standing motionless on the playground with parachutes on their backs, long-term balance training has allowed them to reach the realm of standing like a pine and sitting like a clock, and Huang Zhennan, the head of parachute training, is doing the ideological mobilization before parachuting. Due to the low temperature, coupled with a little nervousness, these special forces stood in the queue with their thighs trembling slightly, although they are all veterans of "a hundred battles", but parachuting is the first time, no one knows what it feels like to jump from a height of 10,000 meters, anyway, the training is all trained, and the special circumstances of the back will also be memorized, but I am still a little uneasy, can I have the courage to jump? What if the umbrella doesn't open? Can a parachute support its own weight? What to do if it's windy? All of this will have to wait for the moment when you jump down and land safely.
"Comrades, after two months of hard training, you have completely mastered the basic skills of paratroopers, it can be said that you are now an airborne soldier, but you are not a qualified airborne soldier, you have to wait to jump down to have the final say, just like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, jumping over is a dragon, can't jump over, or an ordinary fish, who of you can jump off freely today, who is equivalent to jumping over the dragon gate, I hope everyone is a dragon, you are all parachuting for the first time today, I hope you don't panic, paratroopers are the embodiment of braveryFirst of all, we must overcome the fear of leaving the plane, and do it in strict accordance with the essentials of ordinary training, you are all the elite of the army, you should be braver, more free, comrades, can you jump now? β
"Canβ"
"The voice is a little trembling, say it again."
"Yes."
"Okay, this is the special forces, for everyone's safety, I sent you a security team, they will serve you in the air and on the ground, and your future actions must obey their arrangements, Company Commander Liu." The Umbrella Trainer shouted.
"Here." A captain instructor ran over.
"Did you see that? These are the baby bumps of our troops, they are the elite of one in a million, and your task is to ensure their absolute safety. β
"Yes." Company Commander Liu came to the front of the special forces queue and said: "Next, I will conduct a routine safety check on you before parachuting, I hope you will cooperate, listen to the password, turn back, and the safety inspector will be in place." β
The special forces turned around and stood upright, only to see a small group of soldiers running behind several special forces, one standing one against the other.
"Start checking." Company Commander Liu ordered.
Several soldiers stretched out their hands at the same time and began to check, and the security inspectors used the peripheral vision of their eyes to keep their movements consistent, in order from head to toe, helmet and hat belts, shoulder straps, lock pins, backup umbrellas, and even calves and calves were touched to be able to check all over the body one by one, and finally shouted together: "Okay!" β
"Turn back, report to Comrade Commander Parachute, the equipment inspection is complete, everything is safe, please instruct." The captain reported.
"Okay, run to board." The Umbrella Trainer commanded.
"Yes, turn right and run." With the order of Company Commander Liu, everyone lined up in two teams, a team of special forces, a team of safety officers, and ran to the plane, the plane was about 500 meters away, and it was okay to see it from a distance, and when it ran to the boarding area, it turned out to be a broken plane, although the fuselage was wiped spotlessly, but it can be seen from the old color of the appearance that the plane is old, and the paint in some places can obviously be repaired later.
The pilot looked at the plane with some disdain: ", why let us take the Yun Five, this type of aircraft has long been eliminated in our flight brigade, we all call it a tractor, not only slow, but also noisy." β
"yes, why do you let us fly like this?" Said the engineer.
"Who's talking?" The umbrella trainer asked loudly.
The pilots and engineers immediately shut their mouths.
"Yes, let you say it right, this is the Yun-5, it is a model that should be eliminated, but as a parachute training machine, it is the most suitable model, one is the small model, convenient for small-scale parachute training, the other is low fuel consumption, in the same flight time, its fuel consumption is only one-tenth of the J-8, both economical and affordable, its flight speed is slow but very stable, please rest assured, it can take you to the height of any skydiving, do you still have any doubts?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at him, and they all said no.
"Okay, let's board now."
The special forces went up first, and then the support detachment, Huang Zhennan was the last to enter the cabin, the cabin was quite spacious, there was an aisle in the middle, there were two rows of seats on both sides of the aisle, some places had been worn out, it was still leather, there were sixteen seats, the people who came up were just full, and there was a safety delivery officer sitting next to each special forces, and after the special forces all sat down, Company Commander Liu reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts.
"Boom" a roar of the motor, everyone felt that the fuselage was shaking, it seemed that the plane was starting, sure enough, through the window, you can see that the plane is slowly turning around, slowly entering the runway, the fuselage is shaking a lot, several special forces looked at it and smiled bitterly, if it wasn't for the parachute training commander on the plane, someone must have complained.
The roar of the plane gradually became louder, everyone felt that the body was a little backwards, the blood began to surge downward, and the plane began to pull up, this feeling has long been used to it, because the time in the training cabin will not be less than two hours every day, the feeling in the training cabin is much more exaggerated than here, exaggerated so that you can unimagine, about ten minutes later, the plane began to fly steadily, looking out of the window, you can see the woods, rivers, roads, wheat fields, cars moving on the road like ants, Rows of buildings resemble matchboxes.
"The war song is like thunder, the motor roars, and the heroic airborne troops go deep behind enemy lines. The umbrella flowers flashed silver, full of anger and hatred, for the motherland and the people, the gods descended from the sky to fight. Insert the enemy heart, cut off the devil's head, destroy the aggressor, and leave no one, hey, not a single one. The war song is like thunder, the motor is like a roar, and the heroic airborne troops rushed behind the enemy......" Company Commander Liu raised his head, and several security delivery officers took the lead in singing, and the atmosphere exaggerated the special forces present, they were not good at singing, and they also hummed in a whisper, feeling that they had become an airborne soldier.
"Report to the parachute trainer, now that you have entered the skydiving area, today's high-altitude synthetic wind force is 6.5 levels, and the wind force reaches level 8 in an instant, please indicate whether to parachute." Company Commander Liu reported.
When Sun Jiashu heard that the wind reached level eight in an instant, he couldn't help but think of the wind-level song he memorized when he was a child: the zero-level smoke column went straight to the sky, the first-level green smoke deviated with the wind, the second-level breeze blew the face, the third-level leaf moved the red flag, the fourth-level wind blew away the paper, the fifth-level leafy tree swayed, the sixth-level umbrella was difficult to walk, the seventh-level wind was inconvenient to walk in the wind, the eighth-level wind blew the branches of the tree, the ninth-level roof flying tiles, the tenth-level uprooted tree and the house fell, and eleven or twelve were rare. The branches of the trees can be blown off by the level 8 wind, can such a strong wind be able to skydive?
"Since you're here, how can you not jump?" The umbrella trainer said.
"But...... But they were all parachuting for the first time, and according to the regulations, they ......" Before Company Commander Liu finished speaking, the parachute training commander answered.
"No, but, because they are special forces, for them, there is no impossible, parachuting continues."
"Yes, the plane is now at an altitude of 680 meters, and it already has the required altitude for parachuting, please indicate whether to start parachuting."
"Keep going up and I'm going to see them skydive at an altitude of 5,000 meters." Huang Zhennan said.
"Parachute trainer, skydiving at a height of 5,000 meters, they are not wearing protective gear and oxygen supply equipment, will there be an accident?" Company Commander Liu asked worriedly.
"They are all special forces, they can deal with any accidents on their own, this time it is a high-altitude skydive, the next time it is a low-altitude skydive, I want to see them skydive at an altitude of 100 meters and obey orders."
"Yes, the plane continues to pull up, flying at an altitude of 5,000 meters." Company Commander Liu commanded the pilot with a headset.
The roar of the motor was louder, the plane kept climbing, when the fuselage was tilted, Sun Jiashu turned his head to look down, only to see that the following was already a blur, and the white clouds were floating below, like cotton, and like waves, I couldn't imagine that the air was so beautiful.
"I have reached the predetermined altitude, please indicate whether to skydive or not." Company Commander Liu reported.
"Prepare for a skydive." Huang Zhennan ordered.
Enter direction 169 and take the right trajectory to land. The interval between departures is a little larger, and you pay attention to your neighbors during the descent, try to manipulate the parachute, and now you go through the various special situations again, and start the parachute jump in three minutes. Company Commander Liu said.
Hearing Company Commander Liu's prompt, everyone silently memorized the special situation, and Zhang Ershun suddenly said to Sun Jiashu: "Platoon commander, my mind has become a mess, why can't I remember any of them?" β
"Zhang Ershun, don't panic, think about them one by one." Sun Jiashu comforted.
"But I can't think of any of them."
Sun Jiashu panicked, what should I do? Zhang Ershun has a fear of heights, this problem has not been solved, and now he has forgotten all the things he has learned, Sun Jiashu was about to report to the umbrella trainer, but the umbrella trainer spoke.
"Please check your equipment, comrades, now flying at an altitude of 5,000 meters, although it is a little cold, the air is a little thin, but it can give you an extra minute and fifteen seconds of free land, you can accelerate to 193 km / h in about 10 seconds after you jump, faster than a train, and then you will enter the free descent, and the real skydive will begin."
The special forces stared at each other, as if they were trying to digest his every word with their eyes - even though they had heard them a thousand times, and at this moment, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of fear. The security delivery officer began to stand up to do the final safety check on the special forces, and one of the security officers reached out and touched Sun Jiashu's main umbrella and backup umbrella, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and finally gave him a thumbs up. Don't underestimate this simple touch, 14 parts related to the safety of the paratroopers have been inspected, and each safety officer has given a thumbs up.
"Tick, tick", the yellow light suddenly flashed......
