Volume 46 Chapter 7 The Alarm Sounds
"What prompted me to carry out low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude skydiving training in the first battalion is a few real figures!" Xing Xiangtian asked Zhang Tie to speak, and Zhang Tie stood up, and gave the battalion commanders and Xing Xiangtian a very serious speech. Introduce your own thoughts without hiding anything.
"In the first air battle with the demons, 57% of Taixia's sacrificed air cavalry were killed by the winged demons in the sky after the plane was damaged and parachuted, and 50% The number seven accounts for more than half of all Taixia's sacrificial air cavalry..."
"On the battlefield, ninety-six percent of the air cavalry and winged demons fight in the sky at an altitude between three thousand meters and seven thousand meters. From the moment the seat is ejected to the ground, the airborne time is at least 50 seconds or more. The airborne time of the vast majority of parachute cavalry is more than two minutes, and after one minute of skydiving, 100% The air cavalry over 90 will be killed by the Winged Demon. One minute after skydiving is the real death time for all air cavalry. The Winged Demon's target, there is no way to deal with it..."
"Reducing the airborne time of the air cavalry after parachuting is to reduce the attack time left for the winged demons. Our aircraft flies faster in the sky than the winged demons, even if it is an aircraft damaged by the winged demons in the air battle, such an aircraft Although it can no longer control and fly normally, the speed of the damaged aircraft, even if it is falling to the ground, will be very fast, making it very difficult for the Winged Demon to pursue it, and it is almost impossible to catch up immediately!"
"Therefore, after the plane is damaged, as long as the air cavalry on the plane can grasp the correct skydiving time, the height of skydiving on the plane will be changed from more than 3,000 meters above the ground to more than 300 meters or 200 meters above the ground. Above all, reduce your time in the air, and take the initiative to avoid the one-minute death time, in this way, the time left for the Winged Demon to attack will be shortened, and the chances of our air cavalry surviving after parachuting will be greatly increased!"
"I have done some calculations, as long as our air cavalry can control the height of their skydiving between 200 and 300 meters from the ground, master the low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude skydiving skills, and control the airborne time at 20 Within seconds, the number of air cavalry who will be slaughtered by the winged demons in the sky after parachuting can be reduced from more than 90% now to less than 30%. For this goal, in order to allow more The soldiers survive on the battlefield, I think it is very necessary to strengthen the low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude skydiving ability of the soldiers in dangerous situations, and the training of the first battalion is also based on this..."
Zhang Tie calmly explained the reason why he did so.
Xing Xiangtian looked at Zhang Tie and sighed, "You have a good idea, but you are also very courageous. If someone wants to find fault with you, it can be said that you are questioning the air cavalry training of the Candle Dragon Leader and the Flying Academy in the theater. There is a problem, this may cause big troubles, make it difficult for you to move an inch in the army in the future, and also ruin your future!"
A small battalion commander of the air cavalry dared to "find fault" with General Wei Ji in the theater, and dared to question the absolute authority of the Taixia air cavalry. It was beating Zhang Tie without a trace to make Zhang Tie pay attention.
"I heard that General Mu Shen personally participated in the compilation of the flight training materials and training outlines of Zhulongling and the Air Cavalry Academy in the theater. As the first air cavalry of the human race, Zhang Mushen has indisputable experience and ability in air combat. Doubtful, but it is precisely because of this that there will be omissions, because Zhang Mushen was almost never shot down from the sky by the Wing Demon in a formal battle in the Cernes theater, so his experience, Especially the experience of saving lives in critical situations,
It is different from what the vast majority of our fighters face. Because of this difference, the initial training syllabus of the Candle Dragon Collar and the Theater Flight Academy will have omissions in this regard! "Zhang Tie glanced at several people, and when they heard Zhang Tie's words, everyone was shocked by Zhang Tie's "courage" and dared to say such a thing, but Zhang Tie's words were not finished yet, "This is not a question, Not to mention finding fault, the air cavalry of the human race is a brand new thing that has just appeared. The training of the entire air cavalry and the exploration of combat tactics are a long-term, changing process that constantly adapts to the needs of war. This is by no means a short period of time. Nor can one person do everything well. Many problems can only be discovered and resolved during the battle. Seek truth from facts. God Zhang Mu is a knight, not a god. He will make mistakes and omissions. He alone will not fully predict all the changes that will occur on the battlefield in the future, he just made a start for Taixia's air cavalry, but we shouldn't put all our hopes on him alone..." Said At this point, Zhang Tie paused slightly, and then said something, "If God Zhang Mu dies one day, wouldn't Taixia's Air Cavalry Troops stagnate and not move forward..."
"That's enough..." Zhang Tie's subsequent words had already changed the faces of several officers in the conference room. Xing Xiangtian had no choice but to speak, and interrupted Zhang Tie's words loudly with a somewhat scolding tone.
The meeting room of the entire 46th Air Cavalry Regiment suddenly fell into an awkward and cold silence.
After being silent for two full minutes, Xing Xiangcai, who took a few deep breaths, spoke again in a calm tone, "Everyone has seen the notice issued by the commander in chief. The higher-ups have noticed the problems exposed in the first air battle between us and the Winged Demons, and are actively trying to solve them, and have found a way to deal with them. This is a good thing. Everyone should also pay attention to the high command and our air cavalry training system I am confident, so starting today, each battalion of the 46th Air Cavalry Regiment can carry out corresponding training according to their own circumstances, and the regiment headquarters will also provide support in terms of materials and logistics..." Xing Xiangtian glanced at several battalion commanders, "The training of the first battalion some time ago is also a useful exploration. It is correct in the general direction, but the training of the first battalion can only be known within our air cavalry regiment. Zhang Tie is the new battalion commander. Some newcomers The idea is a good thing, there is no need to make it known to everyone..."
Several battalion commanders were taken aback for a moment, and then they understood what the regimental commander meant, and they all nodded. This is not suppression, but protection. Zhang Tie is very capable, but he is also too aggressive, showing his sharpness. If Zhang Tie is pushed out rashly and placed under the spotlight, just based on what he said just now, if someone dislikes him, just move his fingers, he can be pushed from the sky to the dust, and he will never turn over for the rest of his life , or directly turned into cannon fodder in the sky. I don’t know how they died. Now there are many knights in the war zone. If a nine-level air cavalry battalion commander dies, he will die. Among them, what is this.
Facing Xing Xiangtian's good intentions, Zhang Tie had no expression on his face, but smiled wryly in his heart.
"Okay, the meeting is over..."
Several battalion commanders glanced at Zhang Tie's face, stood up one by one, and walked out of the meeting room.
"Zhang Tie, wait a minute..." Xing Xiangtian called Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie also stopped his footsteps, Xing Xiangtian stared at Zhang Tie's ordinary face that had been transformed by phantom body and spirit veins with serious eyes.
After waiting for the other battalion commanders to walk out of the office, Xing Xiangtian spoke again, "In addition to low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude skydiving training, I heard that your battalion is still conducting other training?"
"Yes, the first battalion is still exploring new air cavalry tactics!"
"What tactics?"
"I call it aerial wolf pack tactics..."
"Wolves in the air?" Xing Xiangtian smacked, without commenting, "Your future is more than a 46th air cavalry regiment. It is a good thing for young people to have sharpness, but don't let your own sharpness cover your eyes and delay yourself. You are a smart person, you should know what I mean..."
"Thank you for the advice, head!" Zhang Tie saluted Xing Xiangtian.
"Okay, go down, there are a lot of wounded in the first battalion training in the past two days, you should control the training rhythm properly..."
"yes!"
Zhang Tie left Xing Xiangtian's office and walked out of the regiment headquarters. Shitou was still waiting in the car. When he got in the car, a wry smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face, and then he shook his head.
It is estimated that only Zhang Tie himself understands how he feels at this time.
"Commander, the meeting is over!"
"It's over, let's go back to the camp..."
"Okay..."
Stone opened the door of the car and jumped down, holding the hand crank of the engine, started the car quickly, and then drove towards the camp of the first battalion.
...
In the following week, the waves were calm, and the entire 46th Air Cavalry Regiment, except for the first battalion, the other battalions also gradually began low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude parachuting training for the air cavalry.
Although Xing Xiangtian did not allow the battalion commanders to spread the matter of the first battalion to the outside world, making it too influential, but within the 46th Air Cavalry Group, the word that Zhang Tie summed up in the meeting that day - death time - suddenly became popular. The 46 air cavalry group spread the word.
The so-called "Reaper's time" is the one minute between the air cavalry jumping and landing. This word is too vivid, too deep, so that people can remember it after hearing it, and at the same time understand the meaning of the word. .
The purpose of low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude skydiving training is to avoid the "death time" of air cavalry.
In this world, few people are really fools, and there are probably even fewer people who feel that they are tired of living and want to die as soon as they go to the battlefield. They can win the "death time" training for themselves. Who doesn't work hard? Under such circumstances, the training of the entire 46th Air Cavalry Regiment is in full swing, and the morale of the soldiers of each battalion is very high during the training...
Unknowingly, time entered December, and the weather became colder. Just when Zhang Tie didn't know when he would meet Yimo in the sky again, this day finally came...
At noon on December 3rd, when the soldiers of the first battalion were eating lunch in the canteen of the battalion headquarters, the stern battle alarm suddenly sounded in the entire camp of the 46th Air Regiment...
