Chapter 3 Refining (9) Dog Head Ascending to Heaven (2)

  The round parachute is finished, it's the wing parachute. According to my poor military knowledge, this is something that even ordinary paratroopers wouldn't jump with, only old veterans in airborne troops would jump with that kind of rectangular parachute, which can adjust direction and control according to wind direction and speed. Moreover, you open the parachute yourself, not by hanging a hook on a steel rope and jumping out with a crash. Some friends say it's "square parachute", we don't call it "square parachute", we call it "wing parachute". I don't know if I'm remembering wrong or if there are different scientific names. I'm not some military enthusiast, what I know is just this bit of nonsense that I learned in the troops, and I've almost forgotten it all. If I made a mistake, then so be it, everyone can just make do with looking at it, the key point isn't this anyway.

  I want to emphasize again, ordinary paratroopers will not jump with wing parachutes, except for their own elite teams similar to those performing special operations tasks. The large-scale jumps you see on TV by the US 82nd Airborne Division are all round parachutes. If their troops could all jump with wing parachutes, I think it's extremely unlikely. I haven't read a lot of materials, and I'm speaking from my own practical experience. Controlling a wing parachute is not a simple thing, but I don't want to write a popular science article because that's the most annoying thing for me. Let me talk about characters and stories instead.

  Although new team members can parachute for the second year, the first year is only a round parachute experience. However, the direct special forces of Dog Head High School are non-jumpable and fully manned. If our Dog Head Corps is really the wolf's fang of the Big Gray Wolf, then it is clear that our Dog Head High School's directly commanded special forces are in the position of the tip of the wolf's fang, which doesn't need further explanation.

  The three of us were about to jump with the old bird. At that time, we jumped a red and white sports parachute, I don't know if there is a special military use now. Before we jumped, the old bird from the airborne force warmed up first.

  Do you know what a real man is? I'll tell you what it is, it's going bungee jumping without wearing a helmet, and wearing sneakers instead of boots.

  Don't believe it? I saw it with my own eyes. A team of parachute training instructors from the airborne division came, laughing and joking, just about to board the plane. What's even more outrageous is that there was an old bird who not only didn't wear a helmet but also wore a colorful swimming cap on his head, which had "Beidaihe Souvenir" written on it, treating parachuting as swimming.

  Wow! I still think these old birds are really something! How much do they trust their own skills?! Before we set off, we carefully carried our umbrella bags and didn't dare touch anything, afraid that if we touched them, the umbrellas inside would be damaged. But these old pros? They just put down their umbrella bags, sat down in a circle to play cards, and didn't care at all whether they might sit on something or not. When the whistle blew, they got up and walked away, tidying up as they went, and by the time they reached the inspection line, they were almost all tidy.

  Damn it's a bird! I still recall and marvel at it to this day. I don't know if other troops or airborne units have done this, but this is what I saw with my own eyes. Then they rose into the sky. And then you see in the air, one by one, flowers blooming, after all of them have bloomed, they form a big goose formation, it's damn beautiful! This image has been deeply etched into my brain, even later when I could do it myself, I still remember the first time I saw with my own eyes the beauty of the three-color parachute forming a big goose.

  Unexpectedly, they didn't disperse and continued to dive towards the ground target in formation. I couldn't help but think that it was really impressive! Only when you do it yourself do you realize how difficult it is, because you're not a professional parachutist, you're a special forces soldier who has to train in many other subjects, you can't parachute every day, training time is limited, and to cultivate such expertise requires both time and talent.

  And the ones that make up this big goose are those dark, silent and taciturn faces. Although the chief of staff is holding a loudspeaker at the bottom shouting: "Pay attention to the formation, comrades! Pay attention to the formation!" But everyone knows he's shouting unnecessarily. This formation won't disperse.

  The ground was a square concrete floor in the middle of a lawn, which I remembered was 5 meters long, with a red 1-meter-square center. They were about to fall on this one by one. Then I opened my eyes wide and a pair of sneakers lightly fell on the red center as if a dragonfly touched water.

  Another dragonfly water spot!......

  He came down and smiled foolishly. I was amazed in my heart, isn't it awesome! Do I need to repeat the effect of helmets and rain boots? You should be much clearer than me! But I saw the parachute landing for the first time with a bald head and sneakers. Oh, right, there was also one wearing a swimming cap with "Beidaihe Souvenir" written on it.

  Not wearing rain boots and not wearing a helmet from 800 meters high, I know it's against the rules. But I said this can't be used as evidence to accuse our dog-headed squad of violating training regulations. About this target, I want to say one more thing, to be honest, I really hesitated whether to say it or not, but since it's no harm, let's just have a good laugh.

  Our dog head team has a rule, except for these old oil umbrella training backbone, who wants to step on the target heart in this 800-meter daily training, is a reward of 500 yuan. It seems that the PLA should not do this, but I said it's just a fun thing. The first time I jumped that year, the wind was quite evil on the day of the 800-meter wing umbrella training, and only a few old birds and later military officers and old soldiers landed on the target heart. Most team members are not from airborne troops, they are from land army, and parachute training days will not be as many as airborne troops, so this is normal.

  So logistics stocks rose sharply.

  The next year on the same day, the wind was very good. Without saying how the jump went, just look at the expression of the logistics stock long, Zhang's mouth opened wide, and his facial muscles twitched from time to time.

  Finally closed his eyes and refused to look!

  I don't know if others have sent it or not, anyway the first high-end gift I bought for Xiaoying was spent with this 500 yuan.
