Chapter 217 Respective Battlefields

Soldiers climbed a tall tower.

There are seats on the tower, shock absorbers, and parachute ropes. When the soldiers reach a certain height, these parachutes will automatically open to ensure the safety of skydivers.

At first, there were a few soldiers in the company who suffered from fear of heights. When they climbed up the tower, their legs were weak, but they thought that if they could not overcome their fear of heights, they would have to go back to the country, and they would never taste refreshing beer again. , can't taste the sumptuous food they have never eaten in China, and the extra military pay of fifty dollars a month.

So, a few soldiers with fear of heights gritted their teeth, stomped their feet, and managed to survive.

In this day and age, the purpose of being a soldier is to get paid for clothing and food.

Only when one is full and clothed warmly can one have higher ideals, otherwise it is all nonsense.

Here you can eat, drink, and wear good clothes. They use a good gun M1. You can use bullets casually. Every month, the U.S. military alone subsidizes an additional military pay of fifty dollars.

E Company's monthly bonus was fifty dollars.

In addition to the domestic military pay, the soldiers of the independent company are higher than those of the E company.

Listen clearly, it is an extra military pay of fifty dollars. They go abroad to participate in the war and study, and there is also a generous military pay subsidy from the Jinping theater!
God, with fifty dollars, you can live a well-fed life in China. If you stay in the United States for a year or two and save up enough money, after returning to China, you can marry a big wife and a second wife together...

Ouch, ma'am, the life of the magistrate in the country is not so comfortable, and the soldiers are naturally energetic during training.

Whoever is sent back to China because of fear of heights is the grandson.

Skydiving is not limited to daytime, and sometimes at night, on rainy days, skydiving must be performed.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. God will not give you a clear sky when you want to parachute, but often give you bullets, artillery fire, and bad weather.

Winters said that the moment the soldiers jump out of the cabin, their fate is in the hands of God, and before that, all the soldiers can do is to make all preparations, and don't wait until God favors them. I went to see God first.

There is still a difference in Chinese and Western languages. What Winters means is that on the battlefield, when paratroopers jump off the plane, their fate is not completely in their own hands, because paratroopers are the most important objects of care for the enemy.Before that, all the paratroopers had to do was to ensure their parachutes and not make any mistakes.A small mistake can kill you.

Another feature of the C-level training is to use a super-large blower to blow up strong winds on the ground, blowing the umbrellas and people in one direction. This method is used to train soldiers how to control the umbrella after landing. And put away the umbrella.

Winters said there have been many examples of soldiers who landed safely from the sky and died in their umbrellas because they did not stow them properly.

In military training, any action must be based on a good physical foundation.

Without good physical strength and tenacious will, no military action will be perfect.

Second Lieutenant Winters taught well, and the soldiers of the independent company also learned quickly.

In China, after Yan Zhi's cruel training, the soldiers' physical fitness is excellent, and they can quickly adapt to all the essentials of skydiving taught by their instructors.

After two days of training on the skydiving tower, the independent company is ready to receive the highest level, almost actual combat training.Their super receptivity surprised Winters.

D-level, this is the real thing, jumping from the C-47 transport plane.

Due to the limited time, the independent company is learning by skipping levels, so if they can complete the second successful parachute jump, they can get the silver wing badge of the paratrooper.

The 101st Airborne Division has prepared their own badge for the independent company-the silver-winged lion badge with more personality.

Tomorrow, we will board the C-47 for actual combat skydiving. At night, the soldiers of the independent company tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. They got up in the middle of the night, packed the umbrella bag, and then checked it carefully, then opened it again, and checked it carefully again. That's it. Check again and again until everything is correct.

The next morning, the soldiers got up, had a good breakfast, and talked and laughed all the way to Lawson Airport.

Under Winters' gaze, the soldiers put up their parachutes, sat down on a bench, and waited for the c-47 captain's notice.

The wait was long, and after a while, the soldiers who had never parachuted from a real plane began to get nervous.

Fan Xiaosi and Zhou Zhouwa were joking with each other, chatting about what kind of funny things happened in their respective villages, which family's eldest girl was beautiful, and whose family's young daughter-in-law was beautiful;

A few soldiers were singing loudly, out of tune, but they could get applause from the people around them, because everyone was nervous, and they could use this to relieve their emotions;
Ma Ben was telling everyone a joke. Although the joke he said was not funny, it could distract the soldiers' attention;
More people are smoking one cigarette after another silently, holding twigs or small stones, writing words they don't understand on the ground, and drawing patterns that they don't even know what they are;

Deputy Lian Wu Zhonghua smiled very reluctantly. He was reluctant and stiff, his face was full of tension, and he kept clenching his fists and rattling. He didn't bring his old dry pipe, so he could only smoke cigarettes one after another. , just barely enjoyable;

There are also many soldiers who repeatedly go to the toilet and are repeatedly ridiculed by their companions...

In the entire independent company, Yan Zhi is the most certain one. He is glad that Zhao Fugui and other wounded soldiers did not follow today, otherwise when he saw Zhao Fugui, he would think of the indescribable pile of things in his helmet...

However, Zhao Fugui and others still had to make up the jump, and it would be unfair to them to let them return to China due to injuries.

When going to the battlefield, every soldier will be nervous and afraid, but at this time, the soldiers are more nervous than excited.

Finally, the C-47 drove out of the hangar under the traction of the locomotive.

That's one plane for every 28 people.

The Independent Company had already flown several times. When they saw the plane this time, they had an inexplicable fear. The fear was the same as last time. They vomited and couldn't stop.

Fortunately, Lieutenant Winters had told them how to overcome the trouble caused by airsickness before that.

After the C-47 climbed to an altitude of 1400 feet, it began to circle in the air.

The skydiving master is a warrant officer instructor who understands Chinese. When the red light came on, the skydiving master shouted loudly: "Stand up, hook up."

Fang You was the first to hook the extension hook of his main parachute wrapped on the back to the parachute cable in the middle above the cockpit.

Every time he played, Fang You bravely rushed forward, this time he still took the lead and was the first to parachute.

The skydiver shouted: "Check the equipment report and reply loudly."

Soldiers, call in one by one.

Then, under the guidance of the parachutist, they stood in front of the door one by one...

Second Lieutenant Mike Winters watched all the Chinese soldiers jump out of the cabin door without hesitation. He couldn't believe it. You must know that many soldiers of E Company were afraid to jump because of excessive fear when they parachuted for the first time. .

In fact, there are many American soldiers who are unwilling to be paratroopers. They do not want to be the target of the Germans when they are floating in the air.

The soldiers of the independent company are different. They were all death row prisoners before, and they all want to live, but now they all want to have food and live a decent life.

And being able to gallop across the world battlefield on behalf of the motherland is their dignity and the dignity of their family.

Yan Zhi was the last one to jump off the plane. At that moment, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an unprecedented excitement washed over all his nerves. At this moment, he felt like a fairy, with a pair of huge wings, flying from Jiuxiao Rush down and jump into the vast space that is thrilling and fascinating.

Feeling the feeling of flying freely for the first time, really cool!Yan Zhi cried out loudly.

In the blue sky, there were white clouds made of parachutes floating one after another. After the soldiers got over the initial tension and fear, they were like big birds with a pair of wings, breathing freely in the air, and interacting with each other. laughing out loud.
