Chapter 12 Test Flight

Maybe it's because of the cooperation and support of Zheng Liangqiang, the deputy commander of the regiment, who is now the commander of the flight company, or because the pilot is really like Zheng Liangqiang said...... I came here because I wanted to go to the battlefield to fight, and if I wanted to go to the battlefield to fight, I naturally had to have the understanding and consciousness of going to the battlefield, so we carried out the training of pilots and the run-in between pilots and the special agent company very smoothly.

The pilots quickly mastered the skills of lurking, climbing, swimming, and discerning directions...... It should be said that pilots still have a great advantage in distinguishing the direction, and if they don't have a strong sense of direction, they can't be pilots, right? But the problem is that they are accustomed to orienting themselves in the air, either by relying on the instruments on the helicopter or by looking at the sun or the stars.

Considering that our main combat target is still the Viet Devil, it is possible that the pilot will use this skill in the jungle of Vietnam...... The woods in that ghost place are often obscured from the sky, and the sun cannot be seen even during the day, so the pilot's previous method of identifying the direction will not work, and we have to learn the methods of our infantry.

But fortunately, all pilots have a foundation...... The foundation here includes the cultural foundation and the debate foundation, plus the guidance of Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi, two Masters who grew up in the jungle of Vietnam, so it didn't take long to master this skill.

Of course, with training comes accidents...... Despite the fact that Scar and other agents have been careful with the fighters, this cannot be avoided.

Over the course of a few weeks, five pilots were wounded in training...... Two of them were stricter, and one of the pilots slipped on a mossy stone...... When it was about to fall off a cliff several meters high, one of the pilots behind him habitually reached out to pull the ...... As a result, two fell off one piece. One man broke his leg. The other fell and broke his head and bled out. Plus a dislocated arm!

There is nothing more to say about these two fighters...... Even if he recovers from his injuries, he is no longer suitable to serve as a pilot in our army.

The remaining three were slightly injured...... In the process of training, because the movements are not in place, or because they are too tired to do the work...... As a result, he fell and was either injured by a branch or a stone......

Although these external injuries are not strict, some can even be said to be just scratching the skin...... It will be restored within a few days of bandaging, but to be on the safe side...... After discussing with Zheng Liangqiang, I felt that it was better to let them return to their original troops!

At this time, the fighters did not agree......

"Battalion Commander......" The three pilots who were slightly injured specially approached the battalion headquarters and pleaded: "We ask to stay...... Our injuries are out of the way, you see...... It's all good! ”

As he spoke, he showed off the injured parts...... It's true that there is only a little less noticeable scar!

"Battalion commander!" Another fighter stepped up and said, "Our helicopter itself can't fly high...... Under normal circumstances, it is at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, and 1,000 and a half rarely go up, and you can't go up 2,000 meters...... So our injuries are out of the way! ”

"Yes, battalion commander!" A little warrior rushed to say, "Say it again...... Our helicopter is piloted by two people, if one of them goes wrong. The other person can also continue driving...... Nothing is guaranteed! ”

"Comrades......" I said with a sigh, "I can understand your feelings...... But we are not an ordinary army, and you are not ordinary pilots, and we must be careful in the spirit of 'not afraid of 10,000 but just in case', you think...... Let's not say that the helicopter you fly is a valuable treasure, and I don't say that you pilots are valuable treasures...... What if you were flying a helicopter with a dozen fighters from a company of agents? What if your wounds suddenly appear in the middle of a battle? Have you ever thought about the losses this will bring to our troops? The battlefield is a brutal place, and we have to prepare for the worst! ”

When I said this, the pilots were silent.

"Yes, comrades!" The instructor persuaded on the side: "What the battalion commander said is reasonable! Not to mention...... You don't have to be on the battlefield to contribute to your country, you can...... It is also possible to return to the original unit to be an instructor and train more flying talents for our unit...... Serve as a transport ...... In short, there will be arrangements from the superiors. Don't have too much of a burden on your mind, ah...... Let's go back and think about it! ”

Several pilots reluctantly left...... In fact, I still feel guilty about a few of them. Because their wounds were actually caused by my orders, it may even affect them for the rest of their lives...... But even if I had to do it again, I would still choose to do it...... The battlefield left me with no choice!

On the other hand, at the same time as the special agent company conducts the necessary survival training for the pilots...... Pilots also began flight training for the special agent company.

But it's flight training...... In fact, at the beginning, the soldiers of the special agent company were all played, and the main purpose was to let the soldiers of the special agent company better communicate with the pilots...... In infantry subjects, the special service company is the pilot's master, but in the air force subject...... The pilot is naturally the master of the infantry, and this mutual teaching also helps the infantry to have some preliminary understanding of helicopters!

Having said that, this is still very necessary for the fighters of the secret service company...... Our soldiers are almost the same as dirt roads, not to mention any helicopters in the past, even motorcycles and bicycles are rare...... It's only since we started fighting that we have had more exposure to motorcycles, cars, and tanks, and it's also because we're a company of agents in the synthetic battalion.

What about this helicopter...... Many of them have never even touched it in their lives...... If you really have touched it, it is with bullets and missiles in Afghanistan!

In addition, when the soldiers were in Afghanistan, they suffered greatly from Soviet helicopters, and they knew the role of this thing on the battlefield, and now they knew that our troops also had helicopters, and they were used for the special agent company...... So the excitement and novelty......

When I took them to the airport, they all stretched their necks to look here and there, and asked their apprentices from time to time...... This apprentice is the pilot they took with them during their infantry training, and occasionally asks embarrassing questions......

"I said sparrow...... "Liang Lianbing asked a pilot, "you said that our helicopter is better than the helicopter of the Soviet devils...... Who's amazing? ”

Sparrow is the nickname of the pilot of the Liang Company...... Pilots, flying in the sky...... So the fighters love to name them after birds, and the pilot, nicknamed Sparrow, has a pockmarked face...... So it was very figuratively called "sparrow...... Although the sparrows do not have pockmarks!

"Needless to say!" The sparrow cocked his head proudly and replied, "Of course our helicopter is amazing...... If I go to war, I'll beat them both ......."

"!" Zheng Liangqiang patted the sparrow's head casually, and then said to the soldiers: "Comrades...... As far as we know, the helicopter models in service with the Soviet army are mainly Mi-8 and Mi-24...... These two helicopters were developed and put into production in the USSR in the 60s and 70s, especially the Mi-24...... It is a very powerful special helicopter gunship. And what you see now is straight...... It was our copy of the Soviet Mi-4 helicopter...... This helicopter was developed in the USSR at the end of the 40s, that is...... We are at least twenty or thirty years behind the Soviet helicopters in service! So than the Soviet Union...... Our helicopter has a lot of shortcomings, such as a small load capacity, insufficient firepower, not much space, etc......"

I still have a positive attitude towards Zheng Liangqiang's approach...... At present, it seems that it is indeed a bit infuriating to make the difference between friend and foe clear, but the battlefield is the battlefield...... The battlefield does not mean that we are really strong because we say that we are strong, and it is not because we belittle the enemy that the enemy is really vulnerable.

Opposite...... What we should do more is to face up to this gap, clearly recognize our own shortcomings, and see the enemy's strengths, so that we can make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses on the battlefield, and achieve the greatest results with the least cost as much as possible!

"But ......" Zheng Liangqiang, the former deputy commander of the regiment, obviously has some level, he observed the reaction of the soldiers, and then said: "Our army has never used advanced equipment to defeat the enemy, not when we fought Little Japan in the past, not when we fought against the Kuomintang, and the same when we fought to resist US aggression and aid Korea...... On the contrary, we have always defeated an enemy stronger than ourselves with backward equipment, and our predecessors can do it, and we will definitely do it, comrades, right? ”

"Yes!" The fighters replied in unison.

"Do you have faith?"

"Yes!"

……

Only then did I realize that Zheng Liangqiang also had the potential to be a political commissar.

Zheng Liangqiang said this...... The fighters also know what to think of this batch of helicopters.

There is a saying that the son is not ugly, even if the soldiers know that this batch of helicopters has fallen behind, they still communicate with the pilots with full expectations and full interest.

In the end, the pilots took the fighters into the sky again...... It can cheer the soldiers who have never been on a plane before.

Of course, because this was the first time the fighters had gone to the sky, we just wanted them to try what it was like to fly into the sky, so the pilots didn't do anything...... Otherwise, if the pilot makes a few dives or sharp bends, some of the fighters must be allowed to spit out!

But this qiē can be taken slowly...... This kind of thing is not urgent for soldiers who have never been to heaven! (To be continued......)
