"Do you have a problem with the Synthesis Camp?" Then I summoned more than a dozen cadres of the airborne battalion to a conference room for a meeting, and I knew very well that if the ideological problems had not been resolved, we would not be able to carry out this training smoothly.

"Report to Camp Commander Yang!" Chen Shengde mechanically stepped forward and replied, "We have no opinion!" ”

"Tell the truth!" I said, "I don't want to press you with orders, if there is something, if there is not, if there is not, let's be soldiers!" ”

Chen Shengde hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "There is an opinion!" ”

"If you have any opinions, tell me about ......" I nodded and praised: "There are no outsiders here, and there are no superiors and subordinates, just our soldiers' chat!" ”

"This opinion......" When I asked Chen Shengde like this, he didn't know how to answer, and after thinking about it, he could only answer: "This question is very complicated, and it is not clear for a while......"

"It's okay!" I raised my hand to signal Chen Shengde to sit down, and easily distributed cigarettes to him and other cadres, and said as I shared them: "We are all begging for a living in the army...... If you have any opinions, you can say it directly, you are right, our synthetic camp corrects, and if you say it wrong, I will explain it to you here, so that the problem will not be hidden in my heart and there will be no misunderstanding! The soldier is not happy to stab the knife in the back, especially since your airborne troops are still the elite of the troops, you are right! ”

When I say this, the faces of these cadres are a little unnatural, because what they are doing now is a bit like a stab in the back.

"Just say it!" At this time, a cadre stood up and said, "Battalion Commander Yang, do you know how we practice parachuting?" ”

"I really don't know what to do!" I replied.

"Our country is a poor country!" The cadre said with some indignation: "And the number of airborne troops is very large, in order to save people, money, and effort. The soldiers of our airborne troops all started their training with hot air balloons and parachute towers. It's rare to jump on a transport plane a few times a year. And there are only a few instructors teaching in a company. It's good for you guys to ask for one-on-one teaching, not just one-on-one teaching, but also to let our battalion commander come, not just let our battalion commander come, and ask for eight transport planes to assist in training in one breath......"

"What? Eight transport planes? Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, so I turned my puzzled eyes to Zhao Jingping.

"yes!" Zhao Jingping asked a little confused: "We really need eight transport planes!" I reported to you before ......"

"Need that much?" I was a little embarrassed and said, "We're only training a company, aren't we?" You see, the comrades of the Airborne Forces have opinions! ”

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping smiled bitterly: "It's still very conservative for me to ask for these eight, and this transport plane can only hold a dozen people." Eight planes barely fit a hundred people, plus comrades from the Airborne Forces...... It's going to be a batch of training! In case there is a handle to be repaired, our training process will be very intense! ”

"Oh!" In my impression, it is not a problem for a military transport plane to transport a platoon, but only three transport planes are needed to solve the problem. Where would I have thought that our troops in this era still use old-fashioned small transport planes like the Y-5, and the number of soldiers that can be loaded by a transport plane is less than half of the number of Soviet devil Mi-8 helicopters.

So I turned to the cadres of the Airborne Forces and said, "If that's the case, then it's really needed!" ”

"That's right!" Chen Shengde replied: "What do these soldiers under me mean...... Our airborne troops are raised by our mothers, we are still airborne troops, and most of them are still training with hot air balloons and umbrella towers. Why can the synthetic battalion use transport planes as soon as it comes! ”

When I heard this, I realized the reason why even those soldiers in the Airborne Forces had opinions about us. But that's understandable, if it's me in their shoes today. I'm afraid that I won't be able to swallow this breath, not to mention that I have to wait for the soldiers of the synthetic battalion like waiting for the emperor.

After thinking about it, I replied, "Let me put it this way, the gap is obvious, I don't deny it." But I don't think it's unfair to you to be favored by your superiors. You won't even think you're serving the Synthesis Camp! ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Shengde asked with some disbelief: "What is this not favoritism, what is it if it is not unfairness?" Our current task is to conduct one-on-one training synthetic camp skydiving, isn't this serving the synthetic camp? ”

"Comrades!" I replied, "Do you know what the mission of our synthetic camp is?" ”

Looking at the cadres who were shaking their heads blankly, I continued: "In the eyes of outsiders, our synthetic battalion is equipped with the most advanced equipment and the most elite fighters, and all conditions are the priority of the synthetic battalion, and then use these fighters and equipment to fight. In fact, fighting a war is only a surface, and our task is ...... In fact, he was a pioneer in the reform of the whole army. To put it simply, these new equipment and new tactics are first put on our synthetic battalion for experiments, and sometimes they have to be tested in actual combat, and in this process, these tactics and equipment must be summed up and improved, and after the practical battlefield is determined, a large number of them will be popularized throughout the army. ”

Chen Shengde was stunned for a long time before he nodded slowly: "No wonder the troops have changed so much recently, there are constantly improved weapons and equipment units, and there are also great changes in tactics and military regulations. ”

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "So, Battalion Commander Chen, you have to understand, this is not because your superiors think that your airborne troops are inferior to our synthetic battalion, it is not favoritism or unfairness, and it is not that your airborne troops are raised by their mothers to serve our synthetic battalion, but because our tasks are different, and the synthetic battalion is to verify the tactics and equipment of the whole army, so we can't be sloppy at all!" ”

Chen Shengde took a deep breath, puffed up his chest and said, "Battalion Commander Yang, I understand!" It is because we have a small amount of energy, and we spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. You can rest assured that this is a major matter that has a bearing on whether or not the direction of reform of our whole army is correct, and it can even be said that it is also related to the reform of our airborne troops. For the training of the synthesis camp, in the future, we should only do our best and die! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded in satisfaction.

From the very beginning, I knew that I could impress these people in the Airborne Forces with such "high-minded" reasons...... The reason is very simple, eighty or ninety percent of them are combat heroes, and they are all party members, aren't they? Even if these figures refer to the beginning of the Airborne Forces in the fifties, however, each unit will have its own style because it has a different beginning.

For example, this airborne force, because its members have been the kind of advanced elements from the beginning, and after that, they will fight in Shangganling and have produced heroes like Huang Jiguang to form the Airborne Army, so there is no need to think about it...... There is certainly no problem with the ideology and style of this unit.

In other words, it has become very difficult for me to use military strength to convince the soldiers of the Airborne Forces...... On the one hand, because they are also a unit composed of elite troops from various units, their quality is not much worse than ours. On the other hand, what can we compare to them? They are paratroopers, and parachuting stuff is their specialty, but we don't know anything about that...... Is there a way to compare with them?!

However, things sometimes seem scary, but if you get to the point...... Then there is no need to be so troublesome, and the problem can be solved in a few words. It's like playing chess against a tennis champion and playing against a chess champion.

Then the training mission was quickly launched.

Teaching with good intentions and teaching with no intentions are really two different things......

Before, even if the soldiers of the Airborne Forces saw that there was something wrong with the soldiers of the special agent company during training, they turned a blind eye with a kind of schadenfreude, but now they scolded at every turn: "You want to die!" When you want to land, you still stretch your legs so straight, so that your legs are gone, and you have a fart fight! ”

"Check your parachute carefully, and you won't have a chance to regret it when you jump out of the plane!"

……

Of course, all these actions are still done by hanging on the sorghum, that is, tying the soldiers with something similar to an umbrella, and then hanging on the sorghum with a rope and pulling it up and lowering it at a certain speed, so as to simulate the scene at the moment when it lands. This is how the fighters train to jump and land.

This is especially important for a paratrooper...... It was only when I was watching the soldiers train that I heard Chen Shengde talk about the dangers of paratroopers......

"For example, now we are alone, if we weigh 70 kilograms, and carry 50 kilograms of combat equipment, these 120 kilograms are almost the maximum carrying weight of the parachute...... It means that if you install more, even if the action is done in a standardized manner, it is very likely that you will be injured due to excessive impact force when you land, so we paratroopers also have to pay attention to the weight of the equipment! ”

I frowned and nodded...... I am afraid that this is only because the parachutes currently used by our army are not advanced enough, so the combat effectiveness of our paratroopers has been limited to a great extent.

According to Battalion Commander Chen, a soldier can only carry a maximum of 50 kilograms of equipment, which means that he can only carry his own limited equipment and ammunition...... Unless in the way of airborne equipment.

As soon as I asked, the paratroopers of this era were basically kept in a state of "one person, one umbrella and one gun", and the only ones that could be regarded as heavy weapons were light mortars...... Even mortars are rarely equipped, and the shells are too heavy. (To be continued......)
