Because the air force units assigned to us by our superiors have not yet been implemented, we can only carry out some necessary physical training first.

In fact, these physical trainings are also necessary...... The reason is that we have not had a break in Afghanistan for almost a year...... Many people will think that having to fight is almost the same as having training, physical fitness and other aspects will not decline...... This idea is actually very wrong!

On the battlefield...... In order to adapt to the environment of the battlefield or the needs of the mission, they often carry out many commands that are not conducive to physical fitness...... For example, lurking, such as hiding from the cat's ear piercing, such as fighting with the enemy without rest for several days and nights in a row...... These consume a lot of body, and often even have to be put into new tasks without getting the necessary replenishment!

So...... Every battle will have a recovery period when you return to the base, otherwise...... Soldiers are likely to be overwhelmed by the stress of war, both mentally and physically...... In fact, this is also the reason why Commander Zhang transferred us back after we stayed in Afghanistan for a year.

Originally, I thought it would be ...... Commander Zhang knew that the situation in Afghanistan had basically stabilized, that the defensive tactics of the Xijieo Valley had matured in our hands, and that the "Stinger" had also been successfully equipped into the valley to fill the gaps in the valley's air defense...... Plus the command of Regiment Commander Liu...... As long as you don't make too many mistakes, you are completely invincible!

But when I think about it, I don't think it's because of this...... Because there are more than 300 people in the advisory group led by head Liu, they also take the sea route...... In other words, that is, Regiment Commander Liu and his party had already set off more than a month ago, and at that time, Commander Zhang decided to exchange us with Regiment Commander Liu and others. But the last battle of the Higio Valley had not yet begun. The Stinger was also not equipped into the valley.

So I thought...... Commander Zhang is more concerned about the fact that we, the soldiers, have been fighting in Afghanistan for a year. Physically, and psychologically, I couldn't stand it, so I transferred another group of people to replace us!

The Yankees are particularly thoughtful in this regard...... They even have the means to transform a freighter into a giant yacht, or develop a small island into a resort, and then let the soldiers who come down from the battlefield enjoy the sun, beauty, food, and so on......

Of course, as Chinese soldiers like us, we would not have such good conditions...... Let's "enjoy" psychologically, that is, go back to see our family for a few days off, and as for the recovery of the body...... That's physical training!

That's what I heard from Colonel Smith after dinner...... Remember when you hear that. I was so envious of the American soldiers.

But envy is envy...... As a soldier, I think that the Chinese method of recovering the body and mind of soldiers after the war is more effective, even though the Chinese method is more economical!

The reason for this is simple...... The Yankees' method of recovery is relaxation, enjoyment...... This can indeed make the soldiers forget the hardships and traumas of the battlefield. But there are two sides to the story...... If the soldiers who are fighting a war know that as long as they can go back alive, they can enjoy this qiē, not only for free, but also as a hero...... Are they willing to sacrifice on the battlefield? Willing to get hurt? Especially since this battle is not fought on its own soil...... It doesn't seem to have much to do with your own country!

Thereupon...... How many American soldiers are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood? It is no wonder that on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the Yankees basically only operate in Pakistan, and occasionally a few who dare to enter Afghanistan to fight with the guerrillas are heroes!

Besides...... After the American GIs who came down from the battlefield enjoyed themselves so much with a lot of wine...... When they were going to go to the battlefield again, how painful it was! How can they stand this huge contrast?

On the contrary, our Chinese soldiers do not seem to be so pampered, and there are not so many miscellaneous problems......

Isn't it the best psychoeducation to go home and see your family for a few days off?

Yes, of course...... The enthusiasm of the villagers to greet the heroes of the battle after returning home, and the pride on the faces of the families, is actually the best education for the soldiers...... Every now and then, they think...... I have suffered so much on the battlefield, and even risked my life...... It's all fucking worth it. The next time you go to the battlefield, you have to fight hard, don't embarrass your family!

As for the body, let's ...... Let's be more direct. Immediately after returning from vacation, I will carry out physical recovery training, what is the five-kilometer cross-country, armed swimming...... It's time to practice the same as before! Occasionally, there will be a few confrontation exercises......

So when we go to the battlefield again, there is basically no huge contrast or problem of not being able to adapt!

Just like we're doing now...... The fighters began their routine training the day after returning from vacation, and the intensity did not decrease at all...... But the warriors seem to have been used to this for a long time, so no one will complain or slowly increase the intensity to let them have a process of adaptation!

Until one day half a month later...... This morning, just as we had just started our day's training, we heard a sound of spiral pulp "thud" in the air......

We hear this a lot in Afghanistan...... And every time I hear this voice, I know that it is the "big killer" of the Soviet army, and it is time to hide it...... This immediately attracted the attention of the fighters, but the fighters were only stunned for a moment, and they soon realized that this was China, not only China, but also the capital, Beijing...... Only helicopters, possibly our own, are here.

After thinking about this...... They quickly turned their attention to the training they were doing again...... Otherwise, Chen Qiaoqiao's fierce and vicious advisor will be scolded again!

Then, sure enough, a swarm of helicopters appeared in my field of vision...... Roughly numbered twenty planes, five in groups flew towards us from near and far, and then whizzed over our heads!

To be honest, I was a bit surprised that the helicopter would appear at this time...... The reason is that I always thought that our army's helicopters, that is, the "straight five", were very backward...... This helicopter is a copy of the Soviet Mi-58 helicopter in our country in 4 years.

So I thought...... Even if the Soviet Union's current helicopters Mi-8 and Mi-24 have very limited night combat capabilities, then the Zhi-5 used by our army is afraid that it will be difficult to fly at night...... But now the fact is that these twenty straight fives appeared over our base in the early hours of the morning, which means that no matter where they came from...... All fly at night.

I found out later...... This was actually specially arranged by Commander Zhang...... His order was: "If you can't reach your destination safely at night, then don't come!" ”

In fact, Zhiwu is not as unbearable as I thought...... The reason is that this is the only helicopter that our army can still use now, and it depends on this old guy for emergency rescue and various combat missions on the battlefield...... So since around 79, that is, on the eve of the self-defense counterattack...... Our army has already begun to attach importance to the transformation of the Zhiwu.

There is no way to do it...... There is no other helicopter that can be used, so this old model of helicopter can only be improved in the hope that it can meet the requirements of modern warfare!

It's been more than two years now...... Therefore, the Zhiwu added the necessary radio station, compass, altimeter, and the necessary navigation instruments and power plant monitoring instruments to ensure that it can fly at night and in complex meteorological conditions!

That's why I'm now able to see our helicopter group in the early hours of the morning!

Because I also want to see what it's like to equip our helicopters...... So he beckoned and asked Xiao Li to drive the jeep over, Xiao Li didn't ask and knew that I was going to the airport, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove the jeep in the direction of the airport!

And the warriors under my command...... But he could only look at the dust raised by the jeep with a pair of envious eyes...... They also want to see what the helicopter that will train with them in the future will look like, and curiosity is for everyone...... But the helpless thing is that there is no order for none of them to move, and even the training movements at hand must not be slow or distracted, otherwise it will be a scolding or some kind of corporal punishment......

That's the benefit of being a battalion commander...... We can do whatever we want, and basically no one can care about me except Commander Zhang!

The airport was converted from several basketball courts vacated by the base...... Although it is a transformation, it is actually to dig out the ball rack and transport it away, and then level the playground is almost the same...... Of course, for the sake of secrecy and security...... There was still a fence around the outside of the airport, and a platoon of soldiers was sent to patrol here, and a warehouse and a row of simple bunkers were built!

That's why helicopter formations have not come until now...... Although these transformations are not very different, the wall, the machine fort...... However, as a result of several engineering teams working around the clock to make repairs, they also had to transport some necessary fuel and spare parts to the warehouse, and some mechanics had to be transferred from the air force units......

So this helicopter dispatch is really a trigger and a whole body, but these things are all indispensable...... For example, if there is no machine fort...... When the helicopter was not on duty, it was also exposed to the wind and rain...... Helicopters are a precious thing, and they can't afford to be tossed around. Another example is fuel, parts, engineers...... Without one thing, this helicopter will not be able to fly safely into the sky here!

But I don't need to worry about this qiē, there is only one thing I need to do...... That's receiving! (To be continued......)
