The second generation of paratroopers did not disappoint us, and this was verified in our subsequent training.

Compared with the first generation of paratroopers, this second generation of paratroopers has the advantages of large area of ​​umbrellas, many exhaust holes, short air stagnation time, and small dispersion area.

And some performance improvements are not a little bit, for example, the maximum bearing capacity is more than ten pounds heavier than the first generation umbrella. Although these more than ten pounds are nothing, this is only more than one hundred to two hundred for the total weight.

Paratroopers with kilograms have already accounted for a large proportion.

It is conceivable that each soldier can carry more than ten kilograms of weight, which platoon, company, or even a regiment and division can bring more equipment when he is put into the battlefield.

For example, the airdrop height, according to Li Li's minimum altitude is 300 meters, which scared us. You must know that when we use the first generation of umbrellas, we dare not jump to a height of 600 meters.

If we reduce further, this new umbrella can safely land at an altitude of 300 meters... We are half-believing and half-doubting about this.

However, it is not very difficult to know whether this data is accurate, just try to jump.

Of course, we will not make fun of our lives. When trying to jump to this new type of umbrella, we will also take the gradual reduction method to reduce the height.

The experiment was conducted by the airborne troops led by Chen Shengde. This does not mean that Chen Shengde and others have better skydiving skills than us. In fact, our synthetic camp has already surpassed the top and surpassed the top through training during this period; this is also

We didn't use Chen Shengde and others as guinea pigs for experiments, and we and the airborne troops were no longer inseparable from each other.

The reason why this task was handed over to Chen Shengde and others to complete was entirely because of the strong demands of Chen Shengde and others. This demand was so strong that it was so strong that it was not hesitant to fight with the troops of the Synthetic Battalion that he could blush and let the soldiers of the entire company write a petition.

Even a blood book.

I can fully understand the mood of the paratroopers... Many of them have been jumping umbrellas for several years or even more than ten years. After jumping umbrellas for so many years, they have naturally had enough of the various things of the first generation of umbrellas.

Disadvantages: At this moment, I suddenly realized that a new type of umbrella was released, and of course I couldn't help but want to try it.

This is like driving a tractor that is constantly problematic. When you suddenly encounter a noble person, you get a high-end car with superior performance. How can you not rush to try it?!

I just think that this is actually a small matter. It can even be said that our purpose is to know the real performance of this new umbrella. As for whether the troops that were trying to jump are synthetic battalions or airborne units, it is not important to us at all.

Is it necessary for Chen Shengde and the others to do this to be a dispute between petitions and blood?

But no matter how much I thought about it, I didn't say anything, and immediately gave the mission to the airborne troops.

Unexpectedly, this made Chen Shengde and others very excited. Most of the soldiers couldn't sleep that night, so they took the new umbrella and checked it over and over again, and they wanted to jump to the next night.

This made us feel both angry and funny. It was indeed a unit that had never been on the battlefield and had never seen the world. We were nervous and excited when facing such a small task.

The trial jump went smoothly, which was also attributed to Chen Shengde and others' skillful skydiving skills. On the other hand, it was also because of the good plan, and they were divided into several batches and gradually lowered the height and jumped down.

Of course, for safety reasons, before another batch lowers the height and jumps down, the command center will first understand the impact force and injury situation during the landing of the previous batch.

Experiments have proved that the lowest height of this new umbrella in reality should be around 400 meters, which is somewhat different from the data given by Li Li, but I think this is normal.

On the one hand, this new umbrella was copied by our army based on the data and drawings given by the Americans. It is a copy. In addition, my country's production process is not as fine as the Americans, so there is a gap between the original umbrella in terms of performance. Normal.

On the other hand, it is because we do not continue to challenge the bottom line... We are soldiers, and the purpose of our training is to play a role in the battlefield. If we are injured or sacrificed while testing the umbrella tool, it will be too unworthy, so when

Chen Shengde and others reported that when their impact force reached the upper limit at an altitude of 400 meters, I didn't ask them to lower the height and try to jump.

But even so, this new umbrella gave us a big surprise. Compared with the original 600 meters, it was reduced by 200 meters. What's more, you can bring more equipment and stay up to the air time.

The scattered area is not only reduced by the decrease in height, but also by the decrease in the performance of the umbrella itself, so this is a qualitative flyby.

Simply put, this new umbrella is exactly in line with our current needs. It greatly reduces the various dangers of our army when parachutes, and also allows us to gather better, faster, and shorter.

It will form combat power within a time period.

What surprised me even more was that with this batch of new paratrooper umbrellas, there were special umbrellas and paragliders.

Of course, this umbrella is just a small airborne equipment... Speaking of heavy umbrellas such as airdrop light armored vehicles or artillery, the difficulty of that thing is not the parachute, but how to find the center of gravity of this heavy equipment, umbrella equipment

What part should we tie, how to slide out of the plane, how to buffer when landing, etc. These are difficult and high-tech jobs, so even if we give this kind of umbrella, it is useless.

But with this special umbrella, it is much better than before, which means that we can safely and conveniently deliver boxes of ammunition and supplies to the destination with the paratroopers.

In other words, this basically solves the problem of heavy airborne troops, difficult transportation of shells such as heavy machine guns and bullets.

Not to mention this paragliding.

In the information given to me by Li Li, I know that the sliding ratio of this kind of umbrella is 3:1, which means that every time you drop by one meter, you can slide 3 meters at a horizontal distance.

This feature seems trivial, but it is actually very useful in actual combat.

Just imagine, if you jump down at an altitude of 5,000 meters in this ratio, you can glide for 15 kilometers. What this means is not difficult to imagine, that is, even if we want to attack targets in Vietnam, the plane will not have to fly across the border.

… Paragliding can glide. As long as the transport plane takes the paratroopers to a high enough place, the paratroopers can jump down and glide across the border to reach the target position.

And there are many benefits to doing this, such as the enemy cannot hear the sound of the plane, or even if it hears the sound, it will not arouse their alertness at all, so the paraglider can lead the troops silently and suddenly

"Fallen from the sky".

Of course, paragliding is also beneficial when parachute diving at low altitudes, because its drop ratio is high, so as long as it is operated properly, it can accurately arrive at its destination with the paratroopers.

Needless to think, this is particularly important for our agent company. For example, if the agent company wants to raid the enemy ammunition depot or bridge, on the terrain of the mountains connected to the mountains in Vietnam, if it cannot accurately land at the destination, it is another

Landing on a mountain, the battle is doomed to fail before it even started.

Of course, for these new umbrella tools, the soldiers need to adapt to it, and even have to learn from a blank space for not having any contact with paragliding before. Fortunately, Li Li has considered this for us, and in paragliding

When sent to the army, detailed instructions were attached, and there were even two paragliding coaches...

These two coaches are also Chinese, but when they see the tone they speak, and from time to time, they will show up one or two sentences in English, they will know that they must be returning overseas Chinese or other identities.

"How is it? The training is going smoothly!" On this day, Commander Zhang called me to the headquarters again.

"It's still going well!" I nodded, but then couldn't help but complain again: "Commander, look, I have to train the synthetic battalion and the armed police company, I'm busy with both sides of the road back and forth every day,

But come. And you also know that these two troops have to face different enemies and different combat environments, so they must have different tactics, different equipment and training methods. If this continues, I will be schizophrenia!

”

Commander Zhang laughed and said, "It's understandable. I can see it from the report you wrote. That's right. If you can recognize the difference between these two troops, it means you already know where the key is. I said

Comrade Yang Xuefeng, I’m not going to force you to join now. Think about it, none of us has the experience of forming an armed police force, nor has the experience of forming a synthetic battalion. Are there any better candidates besides you?"

After being told by Commander Zhang, I think it is true that the armed police force in history will not be established until next year. Moreover, at the beginning of its establishment, it would have a simple identity transformation of the troops, and it did not consider the need.

Tactics are changed due to differences in the enemy, combat environment, etc.

"And you did a good job!" Commander Zhang continued: "From the current perspective, you have been very effective in training the armed police company and the synthetic battalion, which shows that you are qualified for this job and there are many capable people.

It's a labor, so I can only work hard for you!"

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Sometimes, I don't know whether it's better or worse to have more historical knowledge than others.

Let me say it’s bad, this knowledge has helped me overcome difficulties again and again.

Well, they have made me sink deeper and deeper in this world, just like now, because I reformed the army with the history I know, and the reform was quite effective... Of course, it will be effective

Because history develops in this way, these reforms have been tested by reality.
Chapter completed!
