While the enterprises on Yang Xianjian's side were gaining a firm foothold in the market step by step, the training in the army was also carried out to a new level...... Airborne training for the fighters of the special agent company!

Airborne training is undoubtedly a very important part...... Because of this tactic of air-step coordination, all the qiē can be said to be built on the basis of a successful airborne landing...... If the infantry is not delivered safely and accurately...... Then all the next qiē even the most elaborate plans cannot be implemented, so we dare not slack off in this link, before the implementation of this training...... We also spent a few days communicating with Zheng Liangqiang and other pilots to get to know each other, and from there, we were able to formulate feasible training subjects.

But let me feel a little regretful...... Even experienced pilots like Zheng Liangqiang don't know much about helicopter parachuting......

"How can you not know much?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask strangely, "Then how are your rescue missions executed?" ”

"Battalion commander......" Zheng Liangqiang said helplessly: "You don't know about the training of the troops before, and it is particularly dangerous to parachute in a helicopter...... The propeller will disturb the airflow around the helicopter, and if you are not careful, the parachute will become entangled, and the failure rate of this straight five is high...... It's good that a paratrooper can parachute from a high altitude on a transport plane...... There will be a helicopter skydive! Our rescue missions are generally airborne...... If the conditions don't allow, use the rope drop! ”

Rappelling will be relatively easier than parachuting...... I understand this, and the reason is actually quite simple. If you want to rappel it...... The helicopter only needs to be stable at a certain height, and then the infantry will slide down on a rope. And parachuting...... First of all, there must be a piece of terrain suitable for parachuting, and then the helicopter must be at a certain altitude. Finally, the infantry also needs to have parachute skills, and it is quite dangerous...... These dangers include whether the paratroopers can open their parachutes and whether they can land on their way...... Because the height of the helicopter parachute is generally not high, there is not much reaction time for the paratrooper, and the time to open the parachute must be just right, so the difficulty will be much greater than that of ordinary parachuting!

But here's the problem......

Because of my experience in fighting the Soviet army, I know very well that sometimes it is not allowed to surrender because of the conditions...... For example, when the enemy blocks certain places with mortars. Another example is when the enemy's anti-aircraft fire is strong...... At this time, if it is rappelling, the helicopter hovers in mid-air and does not move...... It's like a target for the enemy!

So parachuting is a must...... Without parachuting, it will bring great restrictions to our air-step coordination tactics, or it will bring great danger in battle. This may also lead to the failure of the entire battle plan!

At this time, I couldn't help but admire the paratroopers of the Soviet army...... When they airdropped it by helicopter, it was an entire battalion airdrop...... And now we just want to airdrop a company with difficulty!

But then again...... The Mi-8 used by the Soviet army for airdrops is much better than our Zhi-5 in terms of space and stability, coupled with their long-term training accumulation...... It's not hard to do that!

On the contrary, we have to use backward equipment to explore ourselves without experience to learn from, which is certainly not such a simple comparison!

"Otherwise......" I thought about it and said, "the training begins with the relatively easy and familiar rappelling." Parachuting...... It should also follow the principle of steady progress and step-by-step operation. That is, to train for ordinary skydiving first...... After mastering the essentials of skydiving, learn how to parachute in a helicopter! ”

"Yes!" The staff officers answered, and began to formulate training subjects according to my orders.

I'm also involved in these trainings...... The reason is that as a battalion commander, I will most likely need to command on or near the battlefield......

For the command of this...... In this era, it is common for the commander of our army to come to the battlefield to give command, because the army pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, coupled with the education of the spiritual atomic bomb for a long time...... Many senior commanders believe that if they do not command the battlefield, they are greedy for life and fear death, and they will not be able to boost the morale of their soldiers.

Personally, I think that this is actually a kind of expression of our military su zhì is not high...... This is because senior officers should be more in command at the strategic and tactical levels and in the overall planning and coordination of the entire army, rather than going to the battlefield to command a certain unit to fight face to face with the enemy!

That's what I've always been a battalion commander...... The reason why it is rare to command a certain unit directly on the battlefield is already rare. Unless it's a last resort!

It is for this reason that ...... Therefore, Zhao Jingping and others advised me not to participate in these trainings, on the one hand, because they did not think it was necessary...... I just need to be in command in the battalion headquarters! On the other hand. It's because they feel that these trainings are relatively hard and dangerous...... If I, the battalion commander, are injured, then many of the unit's decision-making problems will be suspended!

But I think the situation is a bit peculiar......

First of all, as a commander of a unit that uses helicopters to maneuver, I must have a certain understanding of the various operational steps of helicopter maneuvering, such as the conditions and difficulty of parachuting, when it is suitable for parachuting, what kind of danger there is, how much time it takes, and so on......

There is a saying that "what you get on paper is shallow, and you never know that you need to do it", which means ...... In order to truly understand something, it is not enough to just see it on paper, it must be practiced.

The same is true of this matter...... If I had only been a few numbers on a piece of paper, I wouldn't have had that sensitivity or put myself in the middle of a battle when it came to actually planning it...... Because I've never even been in a helicopter!

That's why...... On the battlefield in Vietnam, many commanders of our army were blind commanders...... You don't have military knowledge, do you...... Many graduated from military schools, but do not understand the actual situation...... There was a complete disconnect between theory and practice, and a series of orders were issued that seemed feasible to them, but were absurd in the eyes of the front-line troops!

I will not allow this to happen again in my troops...... So not only did I personally participate in the training, but I also took the entire staff with me!

This is a bitter staff officer for Zhao Jingping...... You know, they're all land ducks...... Either from infantry, from artillery, or from tanks...... How can anyone ever be on a plane in the sky, and this is all old...... Can you still stand this toss?

The most bitter thing is...... They're going to have their own training plans......

When they were making a training plan...... I was thinking about how hard and how to practice, but I didn't expect it to fall on them at this time!

For example, at the beginning, it was a flying experience...... This experience does not mean that the soldiers sit in a helicopter to go sightseeing, but that they do various evasive maneuvers in the air in simulated combat...... To put it simply, with an order, the helicopter pilot didn't care that there were more than a dozen people in the cabin...... Imagine that there are anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns in front of you, nervously turning left and right, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes slow and sometimes fast......

It may not sound like much, but it's unbearable for these first-time fighters...... So soon after I started, I vomited a lot, and everyone vomited out all the food they ate yesterday...... Originally, there were many fighters who were full of curiosity and longing for the first flight experience, but this time...... But all their good impressions have been completely broken!

It's not the first time I've ever flown on a plane, but it's painful that I've never flown like this...... So it's not much better than the soldiers under him...... Fortunately, this helicopter is not big, and one helicopter can only carry eleven people...... All but two of them are my guards, and the rest are all staff officers......

We all look like we're half-human and not ghosts, so no one is going to say anyone...... So after getting off the plane, they all pretended to be casual and walked off the plane...... It's just that the two guards are suffering, and they want to secretly destroy the "evidence" on the miè plane in the back!

On the other hand...... I think the reason why we commanders have to be involved in the training is because I think our rapid reaction force is ......

In fact...... When training our special agent companies and helicopters to work together, I always think of the "Alpha" troops that the Soviets have invested in Afghanistan...... The rapid withdrawal of this force left a deep impression on me.

In the end, however, the army was almost completely wiped out in the trap I had set...... But the tactics of winning or losing on the battlefield do not apply, it does not mean that the Alpha troops are defeated by us, and their tactics are useless!

Opposite...... As a modern person, I know very well that is the trend of special forces.

That's why I often use the "Alpha" units I've seen before as a standard to train my company of agents...... Zhao Jingping was quite puzzled by this......

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping said: "I heard that the combat method of the Alpha Force is used for domestic counter-terrorism...... We...... It's for the battlefield, can it be applied? ”

"It doesn't matter!" I replied, "Sometimes...... We just want to fight the enemy as terrorists! ”

I say this not without basis...... Just like when we trained the agent company before, in fact, the more elite the troops, the less they should have too much entanglement with ordinary troops, isn't it cost-effective...... I have worked hard to train a group of ...... with various skills The special combat personnel who can climb mountains, parachute and drive tanks are more marksmans than ordinary soldiers, and although the special forces have a greater chance of winning, they are actually a loss-making business!
