Soviet Godfather

The roar of the aircraft engine kept echoing in my ears, and no one in the cabin was not nervous. Battalion Commander Vasily kept looking at the indicator lights in the cabin. Sergesha was naturally very nervous, because soon he was about to jump from a height of 5,000 meters.

Seryozha felt that life in the barracks passed quickly, and Seryozha had lived in this country for almost 5 months in a blink of an eye. During these five months, Seryozha endured arduous training, experienced an unforgettable explosion, and learned to skydive. But it's still too early to say this, because only after jumping down for a while, and then returning to the ground safely, can I say that I have learned it.

In his previous life, Seryozha was just an officer of the Armed Police Frontier Force. Although he had mastered some military training, he was still far from the level of special forces. His daily job is to manage foreign vehicles entering and leaving the border. Although he has outstanding judo skills, he was not selected for the Special Service Brigade because of his poor shooting performance. For Seryozha's previous life, this is indeed a big regret. What he never expected was that he would be able to wear a military uniform again in this life. Although it was not voluntary, for Seryozha who had experienced too much, it was already possible to live freely without being locked up in a KGB prison. enough.

Paratroopers learn from shallow to deep. In the first few months of training, Seryosha and the others had to learn the techniques of parachuting on the ground every day, such as how to get out of the cabin and how to land. In addition, you must master the rope descent technology on the helicopter. Although the 5,000-meter skydiving is the first time, the 20-meter helicopter abseiling has been done countless times. In fact, for a place like Afghanistan, the chances of rappelling from a helicopter are far greater than skydiving. But who made this unit the 103rd Airborne Division? The enemy in the eyes of the 103rd Airborne Division will always be those well-equipped NATO countries, not those fighters who ride around on donkeys in the mountains. Therefore, the recruit training of the 103rd Airborne Division has to spend a lot of effort on high-altitude skydiving.

The altitude of 5,000 meters is a relatively safe altitude, and this training uses a circular parachute. The advantage of the circular umbrella is high safety, but the disadvantage is that it is not easy to control the direction. Of course, as a member of the 103rd Airborne Division, it is not enough to master the circular parachute, you also need to master the use of the airfoil parachute. The shortcoming of airfoil umbrella is that safety is poor, and advantage is that controllability is strong. The two kinds of parachutes are used in different occasions respectively. Large-scale airborne parachutes are suitable for using circular parachutes. The main imaginary enemy is NATO. The small-scale fixed-point assault landing uses parafoils, and the imaginary enemy is the tribal guerrillas here.

For new paratroopers like Seryozha, the assessment has just begun. It doesn't mean that if they jump out of the plane today, they will be qualified paratroopers tomorrow. The round parachute must be assessed, the wing parachute must also be assessed, the 5000-meter high-altitude skydiving must be assessed, the high-altitude skydiving from 7500 meters to 5000 meters must be assessed, and the low-altitude skydiving below 3000 meters must also be assessed. The rapid assembly after landing, survival in the wild, and other skills and tactics must be assessed. In the most optimistic case, Seryosha and the others will not be able to leave the new barracks until January next year and become a member of the official 103rd Airborne Division.

Probably because of the approach of Christmas and New Year, the Soviet army has recently reduced its attacks on the combatants. Therefore, this airborne assessment is already the last large-scale military operation this year. The ground forces had opened up a safe zone for this operation, so Seryozha was not afraid of encountering the enemy after landing.

"Okay guys, remember the essentials of the movements you have learned, don't be afraid, there will be vodka shipped from the motherland waiting for you when you go back." Battalion Commander Vasily saw that the indicator light in the cabin was on, and he started He got up, walked slowly to the tail of the plane, and hung the safety rope on his body next to the rear door.

"Put on your goggles and go over your outfit one last time.

. . . "Although Battalion Commander Vasily has been urging something loudly, as the plane's rear hatch slowly opened, the incoming airflow seriously interfered with his voice. Seryozha just watched him move his mouth but couldn't hear it. What is he saying.

Battalion Commander Vasily made a move to hang up the parachute rope, and the paratroopers on both sides of the plane lined up waiting to jump from here, and everyone moved forward one by one carefully. But when I got to the front and looked at the scene below, no one dared to jump down.

Battalion Commander Vasily doesn't care what you think, as long as you come to the front and stop, Commander Vasily kicks his buttocks, and soon a beautiful and white umbrella flower blooms behind the plane.

Soon it was Seryozha's turn. Mikhail and Yakov who were walking in front were kicked off the plane by Battalion Commander Vasily without any accident. Boris and Yuri who followed were not spared either. When he arrived at Seryozha, before Battalion Commander Vasily stretched his feet, Seryozha flew out of the hatch with his eyes closed.

Seryozha felt that he was falling straight to the ground, he felt his heart was about to jump out, and couldn't help shouting loudly. A sudden upward pull slowed down Seryozha's fall. Seryozha's umbrella opened, and he finally dared to open his eyes. The feeling is so good now, Serezha yelled again, but this time excitedly.

But Seryozha hadn't enjoyed it for a long time. He suddenly felt a strong air current. Seryozha tried his best to adjust his posture with the techniques he had learned. It became more and more intense, and Seryozha spent all his energy on controlling the posture and no longer cared about admiring the beautiful scenery under his feet.

. . .

In the cabin, Battalion Commander Vasily glanced at the umbrella flowers behind the plane and the slowly closing rear door of the plane, then reincarnated and returned to his seat. Just as he sat down, the military phone next to him rang. Battalion Commander Vasily picked up the phone and said absently: "Hello!"

"Vassily stops training immediately!" An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Commander Grachev, why!" Battalion Commander Vasily asked a little strangely.

"The meteorological department notified me just now that the airflow near your training site has changed, and there is a strong wind blowing in the direction of the enemy! Stop it!" Commander Grachev said anxiously.

"But they all jumped down just now, commander?" Battalion Commander Vasily panicked when he heard this.

"When did you dance?" Captain Grachev asked anxiously.

"Just before your call?" Battalion Commander Vasily replied.

"God bless! The wind direction changed 20 minutes ago! They will be blown to the enemy's side." Commander Grachev's heart was completely cold.
