Chapter 27: Skydiving

"Parks, we can all fly in the sky!" When Caber saw Parks, his first sentence was in an ostentatious tone, "That's the sky, I think I'll be a paratrooper soon!" Have my own badge. ”

"You're late!" White smiled and patted Parks on the shoulder, "We're all past C-level training. Looks like Lieutenant Winster has to give you a small stove before you can get to where we are now. ”

"Tomorrow, we'll have an actual skydive tomorrow!" Tibo also came over.

"Hey, brothers, maybe I'll board the C-47 with you tomorrow, don't worry, I'm a genius." Parks laughed, "Wait and see, it's not going to bother me." ”

It was really difficult for Parks, who was a great agent in his previous life, skydiving was one of their escape skills, everyone had to be very proficient, and he also used a very difficult airfoil paraglider.

A few people were chatting, and suddenly they saw the curtain of the barracks open, and it was Lieutenant Winster and Lieutenant Nickson.

"Stand upright!" Parks screamed loudly, then "snapped" and stood up, straight! Everyone in the barracks put down their work and stood upright.

"Take a break!" Winskey nodded, then walked over with a smile and said to Parks, "Looks like Colonel Zink still gets your reassignment rights." Welcome back, Parkes! He held out his hand to Parks.

The two shook hands, and Winster said, "Captain Sauber also welcomes your return to the team, and I have been commissioned by Captain Sauber to appoint you as Sergeant Major of Company E." Congratulations! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Parks straightened his chest.

"Relax, you deserve it!" Vinsette nodded, "Alright, soldiers, you go on!" As he spoke, he and Nickerson walked out, and as soon as they reached the door of the barracks, he suddenly turned around and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to guide your training, and I hope you can catch up with our progress in a week." ”

Parks stepped forward and said, "Lieutenant, I don't think I need special guidance. Seeing Winster looking at him with some doubts, he couldn't help but say, "I believe I can handle it myself, maybe tomorrow I can fly into the sky with my brothers." ”

"Are you sure?" This time, even Nickerson was a little puzzled, "Sergeant, I know you are a good soldier, but if you get on the plane without any training, I'm afraid there are still some problems." ”

Parks nodded solemnly, "I know, sir, but I'm sure I can handle it." Why don't you let me train for B and C now? As long as I can pass the test smoothly, then I ask to get on the plane with my brothers tomorrow! ”

Winster groaned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, as you wish." I hope you'll be with your brothers, too! I'll have Sergeant Kawood Lipp go with you and let him monitor your training results! ”

"Thank you, Lieutenant!" Parks saluted.

Winster returned the salute and said with a smile: "Good job!" You go on. As he spoke, he gestured to the GIs in the barracks. He walked out with Nickerson. The two walked side by side for a while, and Nickerson finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Dick, are you really going to do this?" Nickerson looked at Winster earnestly.

"Any questions?" Winster looked at Nickerson and smiled.

Nickerson shook his head: "This is very dangerous, even if he can pass this time, but what can a test show?" We all know that he is a good soldier, so we should be more cautious. ”

Winster stopped, looked at Nickerson, then at the sky, and said, "I don't know why, I have faith in him." I can't think of him with conventional thinking, here's the answer, Nickerson! As he spoke, he took another big step and walked forward.

Nickerson shook his head and had to follow.

In fact, as Winster had predicted. The result that Lip brought to him was the instructor's rating, and he gave him an A grade, and it was clear that even the E Company brothers who had trained for a week could not get an A grade.

"Are you sure this is his real test?" Nickerson took the list and said to Lip with some disbelief, "I just hope that this result won't hurt him at that time." ”

"No problem at all, Lieutenant!" Li Pu nodded, "It's the instructor's own level." I saw the whole process firsthand. Actually, to be honest, he's better than we do. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, and I wouldn't have believed that a person could do so well the first time, maybe he would have been different. ”

"Thank you, Sergeant!" Vincent nodded.

After Li Pu saluted, he went out of the barracks. Winster looked at Nickerson with a smile. Nickerson shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless, yet incredible.

"Maybe he's really different, and he can't be described as excellent anymore." Nickerson muttered.

That night, the officers and men of Company E were busy, they packed their umbrella bags, and then carefully inspected them, and then they fought again and carefully checked them again, and they were busy until 11 o'clock that night.

"It's my first time on a plane, to be honest!" Kaber looked a little excited. With his head resting on his arms, he looked at Tibo, who was still busy, "Hey, Tibo, what about you?" Is it the first time? ”

Tipper said, "Yes, Kaber. Is there anything wrong with this? What was wrong with flying for the first time. ”

"I've been on a plane a few times!" White smiled heavily, and then he found his superiority, "If you look down from the plane, then Fort Benning is just a pot (also referring to the shape of the terrain of Fort Benning)." Parks, what about you? ”

"Me?" Parks smiled, "It's nothing, whether it's the first time or a few times, it's fine, as long as we dance well tomorrow, I'm not afraid." ”

That night I fell asleep in a daze, and at five thirty o'clock the next morning, the wake-up horn sounded.

"Hey guys, we're heading to Lawson Airport!" Someone shouted in the ranks.

"Maybe we should sing a song!" Lutz proposed in the ranks.

Obviously, the proposal was agreed to by the majority of the people, and then along the way, everyone sang loudly and with all their might, it was clear that they were full of confidence. This is Sauber's favorite scene to see.

But while waiting at the airport to get on the plane, things are different.

"Damn, why do I always want to go to the bathroom?" Kaber cursed under his breath.

"You've gone for the fourth time, Kaber, I promise, like you, get on a plane, and fly to Germany, and take a pee over Berlin, and promise that Hitler will be drowned by you. That way we don't have to go to Europe. "Guys, the war is over. ”

Someone burst into laughter. But Kaber didn't care, grabbed his legs, and ran to the toilet again.

"It's not funny at all!" Webster muttered under his breath, the corners of his mouth twitching, but he couldn't laugh. In fact, he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.

A C-47 carried 24 soldiers, and despite all kinds of emotions spreading in the cabin, the plane took to the skies.

"It's already 1,500 feet." Parks looked outside the cabin. The plane began to circle in the sky, and below it was the landing site.

The parachutist was a non-commissioned officer instructor, and he shouted: "Stand up, hook!" ”

"Equipment Inspection Status Report!"

"Check the 12th complete!" "Check the 11th complete!" The officers and soldiers reported in turn until the 1st.

"Stand at the door!" The skydiver shouted loudly, "Jump! Guys! ”

Everyone, whether they are afraid or feel uncomfortable, have to jump down from the door, this is the order, and if they refuse, then the end result is to be kicked out of the airborne forces.

Parachutes in the air are like blooming flowers!

"It's beautiful!" The brothers who had already jumped and were waiting below all looked up and watched the umbrella flowers bloom in the air one by one, and couldn't help but admire.

Winster and Nickerson waited at the drop site.

"See Parks?" Winster pointed to the man in front of him who had already landed and was collecting his umbrella, "He landed the most accurately, much better than the others, it seems that your previous worries were wrong." ”

Nickerson nodded, sighed after talking, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have inferred from common sense." ”

The first time was just a test. But the brothers of E Company withstood it. But the other battalions were not so lucky. When one guy jumped down, the umbrella didn't open and he fell to his death.

Although the news was a little scary, no one flinched.

Soon, everyone in Company E made five skydives. This means that after the fifth, they will become real paratroopers. This is what excites the officers and men of Company E the most.
