Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 629 Under the Cliff
"The rope seems too short..."

The rope in Li Zheng's rucksack was only 30 meters long. Bai Aote stretched his head and looked down the cliff, feeling worried.

Originally there was an escape rope in his rucksack, but it was gone now.

The height of the cliff here seems to be 50 meters at the highest point, and the rope seems to be not long enough.

While arranging the rope, Li Zheng said, "Just find a relatively lower place later."

Bai Ott asked, "Where's the seat belt?"

He said that there are two types of seat belts, one is seated and the other is full body. Because of the weight problem, most of the individual soldiers in the squad carry seat belts that are seated.

This thing is directly put on the two thighs and the waist. After being put in, the buttocks are equivalent to sitting in a noose, and there is no need to tie a safety belt with a rope.

What's more, there are not enough ropes now, so how can Fuyu have ropes to tie seat belts?

"I use the horoscope."

These words made Bai Ao Te a little moved again.

If you don't use a comfortable set like a seat belt and only use a figure-of-eight ring, it means a great test for Li Zheng's physical fitness.

There are many modes of rappelling, and what many people see is the scene in movies or news reports where special forces quickly slide down from helicopters or roofs.

That kind of swimming is called fast swimming, which has advantages and disadvantages.

Fast Rope Swimming is also divided into many modes, with different postures, but it is a great physical test for people. All the focus is on the hands, knees and feet, and it is very easy to be disturbed by the surrounding environment.

For example, the Bald Eagle's "Irene" operation in Somalia, the cause of the final failure of the operation was that a young ranger was carrying too much equipment, and when he was fast swimming down the rope on the Black Hawk helicopter, he was tense because of the dense gunfire around him. As a result, he dropped his hand, and finally fell from mid-air, which affected the rhythm of the entire operation. The entire operation team fell into a passive beating, and finally dozens of people were killed or injured and escaped.

Although no one found Li Zheng and Bai Aote for the time being, they had to prepare for the worst.

Because ADF militia search and arrest teams have already appeared around.

In case of being discovered during the rappelling process, it is very difficult for Li Zheng, who only relies on the eight-character ring to slow down and slide, to free his hand to fight back with a gun, and he will fall directly into the lake in minutes.

Even the top special forces will also face huge risks in the face of lack of equipment.

Li Zheng didn't raise his head. After quickly adjusting the rope, he walked along the edge of the cliff and found a drop of about 30 meters. He pointed down and said, "Go down from here."

He found a thicker tree, fixed it, and then tied the seat belt to the rope with the buckle, and said to Bai Ott: "Come here, put it on, you get off first."

In fact, cable drop is a special skill that every special soldier must master. It generally refers to using a special rope to descend from a high place to the ground. It requires professional equipment, special training, and long-term training to maintain the ability of cable drop.

Cable descent requires not only strength, but also the cooperation of excellent skills, equipment, psychological quality and other factors.

Strength is the foundation, especially upper body and hand grip strength.

Technical aspects include rope skills and equipment use.This aspect requires a lot of professional knowledge base. Commonly used knots include bow knot, eight-knot knot (there are also single figure-of-eight knot and double figure-of-eight knot), fisherman's knot, Italian knot, French knot, Prussian knot and so on.

Cable abseiling is definitely not as simple as it seems. Someone who has not received professional training will give you a rope to slide down several floors, and you may slide halfway down with both hands and fall directly to the ground into a box.

As for the equipment, it is equally professional.The rope drop equipment includes a fully adjustable half-body safety belt; the main rope (static rope) is 30-50 meters, the specification is 12.5mm, and the pulling force is at least 40KN. It must be a rope with high temperature resistance and wear resistance. The most common is the sandwich The middle of the safety rope is a loose fiber bundle, and the outer layer is a layer of braided rope sheath. This special rope will not kink or expand during use.

In addition, it is best to have a power rope as a protection rope, and then there are hand ascenders, descenders, figure-of-eight rings, main locks, rope protection sleeves, downhill gloves, etc.

It's a pity that now one piece of equipment is used by two people, and the ropes and tools are stretched. It can only be made up by the superb skills accumulated in daily training.

The old soldier was right.

In the subject of rappelling, strength and skill are the two ends of the seesaw. If one end is lighter, the other end must be heavier.

What you don't have in good gear, you have to make up for in great skill.

Bai Aote could see from Li Zheng's determined eyes that the special training he had received was very solid, otherwise he would not have the skills to back him up, or he would not have given up his seat belt so lightly.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Li Zheng was actually a little guilty.

After all, he did not descend such a high drop with only so little equipment, which requires a strong psychological quality.

It goes without saying that special forces must have strong psychological factors.

Many people feel dizzy when they stand in front of the window and look down, let alone dare to slide down by grabbing a rope and relying on a figure-of-eight ring.

Even if a commando member of the special forces like Li Zheng has the strength, skills, equipment, and psychological quality, and has undergone professional training, can the rope drop be foolproof?

not necessarily!

In previous years, there were special soldiers who fell to their deaths in accidents during the rope drop training every year, and it was not uncommon both at home and abroad.

After everything was ready, Li Zheng camouflaged the length of rope tied to the tree root on the edge of the cliff to cover up the traces, and then said to Bai Aote: "You go down first."

Bai Aote is the wounded, so it is reasonable to go first.

When Bai Aote started to slide down about four meters, Li Zheng observed the fixed knots, and after finding that there was no problem, he also started to slide down.

Now, he only worries about two things, one is whether the patrols will find out, and the other is that the quality of this rope should be good enough to easily keep the two of them from breaking even when they are in trouble.

The cliffs are covered with shrubs and weeds everywhere, and Li Zheng carefully controlled his body to slide slowly through these plants.

Although the weeds were a bit cut off and made the score very uncomfortable, Li Zheng liked them very much at this time.

There was no other reason, these bushes and weeds provided enough cover for himself and Bai Ott, if the whole area was advertised as naked, it would be really bad.

Just less than ten meters down, I suddenly heard voices from the cliff, as if someone was talking.

"Someone!"

Li Zheng lowered his head, and made a silence gesture to Bai Aote, who raised his head and heard the voice, and pointed at it, indicating that someone was there.

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

Neither lucky nor lucky.

Fortunately, if I come down later, I will definitely fight with the search and arrest team; unfortunately, I am now hanging on a 20-meter-high cliff. In case of being discovered, it seems that the only option is to cut the rope and jump off the cliff.

20 meters...

The height of seven or eight floors is high, I hope I can't fall to my death.

Li Zheng felt dense beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, pattering down.

　Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!
