Chapter 701 Speed
In two days, the soldiers became familiar with this kind of rope-relying relied on the wall, and then changed to the rope-returning relied on the back with equipment on the back, and then turned to the rope-returning relied on the wall.
The volleyball cable is a helicopter cabin that simulates hovering between two buildings dozens of meters high... In order to make the soldiers feel more, the size and shape of the rack are made in a ratio of one to one in the Juncker cabin, and there are even two rows of seats and the pilot's cockpit.
Then hang a rope on the top and dig a hatch in the middle of the bottom of the rack, making it almost the same as the actual object.
If anything, it is that this simulation cabin is safer...it won't sway in the air, and there are no shrapnel and bullets flying around.
The difficulty of volleying down the air lies in speed.
Needless to say, the most dangerous time for such a rope-landing operation is the time when the helicopter hovered over the target... As mentioned before, any point of firepower from the ground at this time will pose a major threat to the helicopter and its members.
Therefore, it is impossible for this kind of rope to descend after one rope is confirmed to be safe and then the other is lowered. It must descend one after another, that is, several people are hanging on the rope and sliding down to the ground at high speed.
This will cause a series of problems:
For example, some people are faster and some are slower, and they will inevitably collide together.
For example, the distance is too close, and the people who land on the ground fall from the sky before they can unlock the lock.
Of course, these problems are not unsolvable. They just require training time and time to make everyone proficient in their descent speed with their eyes closed, and after landing, they can leave the landing site as fast as possible to provide landing space for teammates.
On the other hand, Alexander led a group of instructors to make time... The first battalion had more than 700 people, and each twenty people were divided into a group to train.
What they had to do was to select the fastest and most stable teams from these more than 700 people and 30 groups to join the battle.
"2 minutes and 10 seconds!" Alexander said to Qin Chuan: "This is the best result!"
"No, it's not good enough!" Qin Chuan said: "We should try to keep the time within one and a half minutes!"
The reason is very simple. Even if it is just one second, it may bring the risk of annihilation to all members, because the shot downed helicopters will also pose a threat to the landed members.
"But this speed can hardly be improved!" said Alexander.
Qin Chuan understood Alexander's meaning, distance, speed and number of people determined that it would take so long, which was calculated before.
"If we cannot decide on the distance and number of people, then speed up!" Qin Chuan said.
"We can't speed up, Major!" said Alexander. "They carry equipment and supplies on their backs. If they speed up, they will get hurt when they land!"
After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said: "We can speed up the first half and gradually reduce it to normal speed in the second half!"
Alexander couldn't help but stare at Qin Chuan blankly when he heard this.
This is indeed feasible, and it can obviously increase the landing speed. The problem is that the coordination of soldiers is higher, that is, it is more difficult to do this. If a few soldiers are not careful, they will bump into each other.
"They can do it!" Qin Chuan said.
Qin Chuan has confidence in his soldiers, or it can be said that it is worth it... Even if some soldiers are injured, they are many times better than dying on the battlefield.
Later, soldiers were indeed injured. The most serious case was that a sergeant from the Third Company was hit by a soldier who was chasing him because he was slower and lost his balance. Then he fell from a height of more than ten meters and hit his backpack heavily... and then his lower body lost consciousness.
When he was carried away by the medical staff, the soldiers didn't know what to say.
"He is a veteran who fought in Africa with us!" Kuhn said: "I remember him because he was originally my subordinate!"
After pausing, Kuhn continued, "I didn't expect that so many battles have come, but I fell down during training!"
So, fate is sometimes very strange, and no one knows when it will suddenly come to you.
"Sorry, sir!" Kuhn then said, "I'm not saying that training is wrong..."
"I understand!" Qin Chuan interrupted Kuhn: "You don't have to explain so much, I know this is correct, and we have to continue!"
At least one thing Conrad's estimate is wrong, that is, the modification time of the helicopter... Conrad originally estimated that it would only take one week, but in fact, it took two weeks for the helicopter to land in Wikino.
"Sorry, Major!" Conrad explained to Qin Chuan: "Originally we thought you were using it to transport it in the Caucasus Mountains, so we had low requirements for it. Since we knew you were using it to fight, we made some necessary modifications to it!"
"Is that true?" Qin Chuan asked: "What modifications?"
"We thicken the armor at key areas!" Conrad said: "For example, the cab, there is also the engine, and there is also a layer of 10MM steel plate at the bottom of the cabin!"
"Very good, colonel!" Qin Chuan said.
The 10MM steel plate can just block the Soviet army's rifle bullets, which means that the bottom-up of the Soviet army's submachine guns, rifles, light machine guns, etc. will be difficult to pose a threat to helicopters.
"It should be!" Conrad replied: "But you have to pay attention that its defense is nothing more than that. If the Soviets used 12.7MM heavy machine guns..."
"I know, colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.
At this time, the Soviet army was generally equipped with a DSHK12.7MM caliber machine gun in infantry, and modern film and television works often see it... There is a baffle in front and a wheeled shooting frame. The German army usually called it a "Russian harvester" because it is very effective in dealing with the German infantry charge, and it is often like harvesting rice to knock down the German army in rows. However, the German army often has no choice but to have a baffle in front.
This guy can easily penetrate 15MM steel plates at a distance of 500 meters, so it is basically impossible to prevent it.
Then, Qin Chuan glanced at the other side and looked at a helicopter landing on the open space in a daze, saying, "Okay, let's get to know this aircraft. We call it a helicopter, to be precise... it is a 'dragon' helicopter! Is there any problem?"
"Sir!" asked a soldier: "Are we going to take this guy to fight the Soviets?"
