Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 289 Umbrella Emblem
Under everyone's expectant eyes, Li Zheng gritted his teeth and said slowly: "I will cut the paracord of my comrade-in-arms, so that he has a chance to open the backup parachute, and then try to save himself."

Zhang Yan said: "As I said before, in most parachute accidents, after cutting off other people's paracords and separating them, you often have no time to save yourself, so you can only live one. If you can only live one, what do you do?"

Everyone's eyes returned to Li Zheng again.

Because there is no definite answer in the hearts of all recruits.

Anyone who is tall can say it.

But to speak the truth in front of so many people, you have to be honest.

These soldiers are relatively pure people, and they have a natural sense of shame about lying.

Before getting Li Zheng's answer, Zhang Yan reminded again: "I only listen to the truth. If you just want to be obedient, you don't have to answer me."

Li Zheng paused for the last word: "Let the comrades live."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of all the soldiers present.

Shao Xiaoqian's eyes were slightly red, and she felt a little hot.

Tong Zhi, who had been silent by the side of the team, became serious.

Zhang Yan saw sincerity from Li Zheng's expression and eyes, and he was sure that the other party was telling the truth.

After a long time, he asked, "Why? Give me a reason."

Li Zheng exhaled softly, and calmly replied to Zhang Yan: "Because I was rescued by people desperately. During the earthquake, I was buried under the rubble. It was a group of soldiers who rescued me. There were aftershocks during the process. If they withdrew, I would be gone. If they didn’t, they might be gone. In the end they didn’t evacuate... From that day on, I decided that I must wear a military uniform once in my life.”

Zhang Yan nodded slightly, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally said: "I can't ask everyone of you to come up with the same answer as Li Zheng when you encounter a dangerous situation, and I have no right to ask you to do so." Do. But here I want to tell you a story that actually happened here. Two years ago, during a parachute jump, unfortunately, a parachute accident occurred due to air currents. One of the accidents was the captain and company commander. , one is a soldier. In the end, the company commander cut off the paracord that was entangled with his soldier, and quickly separated from the other party, but he died because he lost the opportunity to save himself."

The audience was silent.

This seems like a heavy topic.

"Soon you will board the plane for the first jump in your life. I wish you all the best. When the time comes, I will accompany you on the plane."

Finally, Zhang Yan waved his hand: "Dinner is ready!"

In the two days after the ground training assessment, I practiced folding umbrellas repeatedly, and the amount of physical training was also reduced. At most, I did some aerial posture-setting equipment training called "three-dimensional space ring" every day.

The real jump became a topic that every soldier of the special company who came to participate in the parachute training in those two days talked about.

In the evening, Tong Motou took an hour off, and asked everyone to go to the small supermarket to buy some daily necessities and snacks to relax and prepare for the upcoming real dance.

The management at the parachute training base is very strict. In the past two months, every day has been training and training, and there has never been a day off.

It was rare that these two days were relaxed, everyone was in a good mood, and all went shopping in the supermarket at the base in small groups.

As soon as he entered, Li Zheng saw the female soldier squad who had already arrived here, and saw Shao Xiaoqian laughing with his comrades beside the shelf.

There were so many people, he wanted to go up and say a few words, but he didn't dare to make a fuss.

Shao Xiaoqian had been in the Special Warfare Brigade for several months, and the two met secretly twice, each time they were like underground party joints, said a few words in a hurry, and then left in a panic.

It was not easy to join the special warfare brigade. Although Li Zheng felt that there was nothing shameful about the two of them, after all, they were in a relationship before enlisting in the army. It was just a coincidence that they met now, so it could not be regarded as a violation of the regulations.

But both he and Shao Xiaoqian were worried about one thing. If their relationship was confirmed, what would Lianli do?
Will one of them be transferred away?
This was the result that neither Shao Xiaoqian nor Li Zheng wanted to see.

"Don't panic when you parachute in the morning after tomorrow, calm down..."

Shao Xiaoqian deliberately went to a remote corner to pick up the items on the shelf. Li Zheng pretended to be okay and came over. Although his eyes kept on the goods on the shelf, he actually started to care about Shao Xiaoqian.

"If you panic, I won't panic, underestimate people!"

Shao Xiaoqian thought for a while, and said, "You were so handsome when you were talking in front of the dining hall that day!"

After speaking, someone came over, Shao Xiaoqian hurriedly left and went back to her companion.

so handsome?

It took Li a while to react.

I remembered that Zhang Yan's question was answered by himself.

During the timeout, a few more veterans suddenly came in. Looking at the camouflage uniforms, they didn't look like paratroopers. They belonged to the same army as myself, and I didn't know which unit they belonged to.

Fatty Wei said to Li Zheng: "Look at that thing in front of their chests, why don't we have one?"

"What?" Li Zheng asked curiously, looking at the paratroopers.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing special, but after a closer look, I finally found something different.

There was a mark on the flap of the bag on the right side of the chest of the veterans' camouflage uniforms, which looked like a parachute, with a wing on each side.

Look down at yourself again, no.

"See?" Fatty Wei asked.

Li Zheng shook his head: "I saw it, but I don't know what it is."

Fatty Wei couldn't help being curious, so he simply stepped forward to inquire: "Old soldier, old soldier, what is that badge on your chest? It's pretty pretty."

The veteran who was shopping looked at Fatty Wei, then at the flap of Fatty Wei's pocket, and then asked Fatty Wei quite proudly: "You are a new recruit who came here for parachute training for the first time, right?"

Fatty Wei smiled and said, "Yes, look at my rank, I'm a private soldier."

The veteran with the rank of corporal said, "Which unit?"

Fatty Wei said, "It's from the Tiger Brigade."

The corporal suddenly realized: "Oh! The newly formed special warfare brigade?"

Fatty Wei could only nod again: "Yes, newly established."

The corporal put the things in his hand back on the shelf, stretched out his hand to pinch the badge on the flap of his pocket, raised it forward, and said proudly: "This is called an umbrella badge, and it is divided into three grades of gold, silver and copper. It is bronze, and you need at least 20 real jumps and excellent results to get it. This year, after I come here for training, I can get silver after a dozen more jumps.”

With a smile, he stretched out his hand and patted Fatty Wei's elbow.

"Come on, recruit! Work harder, maybe you can take a copper one back as a souvenir before you leave the army."

After speaking, he picked up the goods and settled the bill with his comrades in arms, and left.

Fatty Wei stared at the backs of several veterans leaving, and froze for a while.

Li Zheng came over and pushed him, saying to go back early.

Fatty Wei said: "Did you see that? Umbrella emblem! Look at how hard they are talking about it."

"Don't tell me, at least it's not easy." Yang Hui's voice came from beside him.

He popped out of nowhere.

"Umbrella emblems are not something that everyone can get if they want to. Those who can get them are those who have excellent grades in the skydiving profession. It used to be made by the airborne troops. Later, our PLA special forces also made this thing. , and the minimum requirement for those who get the umbrella badge of the special forces has to jump 20 times every year, and the grades are excellent, passing is not enough. I heard that the ratio of getting the umbrella badge of the special forces is one tenth. That's not easy."

Fatty Wei was still quite unconvinced, tilted his head and looked at the door for a long time, and finally said: "This is a good thing, so I have to get one home."
