Because it is the habit of our army to take nicknames, Zheng Liangqiang, the deputy head of the regiment, is of course no exception...... However, after Zheng Liangqiang entered our unit, he was demoted and became the company commander of the Army Aviation Flying Company to which the synthetic battalion belonged...... His twenty helicopters were organized into four platoons of five helicopters each...... The reason why a platoon of five helicopters was chosen was because these five helicopters could carry about a platoon of infantry units as an independent combat unit.

Actually, strictly speaking...... The five straight fives carry more than one platoon...... Each helicopter carries eleven people, so five helicopters can carry at least fifty-five people! Even more can be tackled in case of overload.

But consider that when it comes to carrying out a mission, it is often not as simple as carrying infantry...... For example, there are two helicopters that are to serve as fire cover...... This is what we learned in Afghanistan when fighting the Soviet army, when helicopters were sending down infantry...... The helicopter must hover in the air during this process, otherwise it will cause casualties to the rappelling infantry, and the enemy will also seize this opportunity to attack the helicopter...... In order to inflict as many casualties as possible on the enemy at the lowest possible cost!

So at this time, of course, helicopter cover is needed...... It's just that the Soviet army used this cover task is a special helicopter gunship Mi-24, which is very powerful in both defense and firepower......

We can't do this, so we still have to use straight five to complete this task! And in order to make the straight five more flexible or carry more ammunition...... The engine power of the straight five is not enough, and its maximum load capacity is only about 2400 catties...... Even if a heavily armed warrior is one hundred and eighty pounds, the eleven warriors have almost reached their load limit.

This makes Zhiwu face a very painful problem...... That is, if you want to carry weapons for fire cover missions, then you will be almost able to carry weapons and ammunition, and the space in the cabin will be wasted. If you want to intercept people...... The loaded weapon is facing a lack of ammo available!

This is why we initially intended to fight with five helicopters with a platoon of infantry...... Moreover, the functions of these five helicopters are still separated, and three are specifically responsible for intercepting infantry. The other two were responsible for fire cover......

Think about Soviet helicopters...... Not to mention the powerful Mi-24, even the Mi-8 can intercept a platoon at a time, and the firepower of the other Mi-8 with weapons will exceed that of our two straight five...... In other words, the two Mi-8s of the Soviet Army can complete the same task better than our five straight five, and I am a little unbalanced in my heart!

dripping ...... I knew that when I was in Afghanistan, I would have to get a few Soviet helicopters!

But it seems that even if you get it, it won't be much use......

On the one hand, it's because of the helicopter...... It requires a large number of maintenance technology and parts to support, without maintenance personnel and replacement parts, I am afraid that I will not be able to fly for dozens of hours. So even if you go to great lengths and risk your life to get your hands on the Mi-8 or Mi-24...... In the end, it's all in vain!

On the other hand...... Our country does not have such an industrial base at the moment!

If you have this industrial base, it is also useful...... It's okay to get a few of them to be imitated, but the helicopter is a high-tech thing, and without this industrial base, even if a few Mi-24s are in front of us, let's disassemble and play...... That can't be imitated! This is why our country has had American Black Hawk helicopters for a long time, but they have not been copied!

So the idea is just to think about it...... If I had to put it into practice, I'd be a hit!

Zheng Liangqiang is often covered with beard scum...... In addition, he has dark skin and super flying skills...... It is said that he often flew helicopters on rescue missions in bad weather. There were even a few times when the helicopter broke down during the mission...... In this era, even tanks are repaired while driving, not to mention that this helicopter is a sophisticated aircraft, so accidents are common. But Zheng Liangqiang has the means to urgently eliminate these faults and successfully complete the task.

It is precisely for this reason that Zheng Liangqiang has repeatedly fought with his superiors. But in the end, he achieved the position of deputy head of the regiment...... There are fewer pilots, and even fewer capable pilots. If you have a bad temper, you can get worse...... Who left us unavailable? At the critical moment, a pilot like Zheng Liangqiang has to hold on!

This story is nothing though...... It even exposes problems such as the failure rate, high accident rate or quality problems, and carelessness of maintenance personnel from some aspects...... But on the other hand, it can also be seen that Zheng Liangqiang has a good psychological quality and rich flying experience......

You know, it's in heaven...... The helicopter broke down. Maybe only a few minutes or even tens of seconds will be troubleshooting, otherwise it will be a crash...... This is no less dangerous than our infantry fighting a fierce battle on the battlefield! If this were an ordinary person...... I'm afraid my head won't be able to think!

However, Zheng Liangqiang has a way to troubleshoot and continue to carry out the task...... From this point of view, you know that he is not an ordinary person!

So the soldiers gave Zheng Liangqiang the nickname "Eagle...... On the one hand, because his black and bearded scum looks like an eagle, and on the other hand, it also means that he agrees with his flying level...... Although at this time, the soldiers have not really experienced Zheng Liangqiang's flying skills!

Zheng Liangqiang, this guy has really changed his appearance after coming to our army...... In fact, I can't say that I can't change his face, because I don't know what he was like before, and I just listened to the instructor and himself, so I can't believe that the cadre I see now who resolutely carries out my orders, does not resist or rely on the old, is the person they say he is!

Don't say anything else. Even when the instructor yelled at him during training, he accepted it......

This makes me a little strange, how can I say that he is also a company commander in our army...... And it is the commander of the flying company...... Although there is nothing to blame for saying that teachers are also responsible, can he really not care at all in his heart?

When asked about him, Zheng Liangqiang replied: "It's actually very simple...... Because I know it's preparation for the battlefield. Do you say that face is more important or life is more important? All of this taught by the instructor will most likely save my life on the battlefield...... I should be grateful, not minded! Otherwise, you've lived enough! ”

I couldn't help but nod my head secretly when I heard this...... It's not easy, you have that kind of state on the battlefield without fighting! (To be continued......)
