Lu Xiangdong was immersed in his admiration for the martyrs and failed to understand the deep emotions hidden in Gong Xue's eyes.
The orphan of a martyr, strong and independent, joined the military camp, determined to serve the country...
Lu Xiangdong, who originally paid more attention to her because of Gao Lie, now appreciates Gong Xue even more.
Perhaps the tranquility of the night has shortened the distance between people a lot, or perhaps the emotions have been accumulated for too long and require reasonable venting.
On this unguarded night, Gong Xue took the initiative to talk to Lu Xiangdong about her growing experience for the first time.
Those almost cruel life fragments were narrated in her clean and melodious voice, which made Lu Xiangdong seem to feel the unforgettable pain...
She was fostered in her grandfather's house since she was a child. Because she could not see her parents all year round, she was mistaken for an orphan by her classmates and ridiculed in every possible way. Her rebellion and independence were developed during that period.
Gong Xue said: "My classmates said that I didn't have a father and a mother. To prove that I did, I deliberately fought with them and broke my head. My grandfather got angry and called my father and mother back from the army. I remember that I was covered with gauze.
While they were recuperating at home, I dragged them around the campus and even to the bathroom door before letting them go." She smiled bitterly: "I was so young at the time that I didn't understand my parents at all, and I even hated them.
..”
"I want to say I'm sorry now, but I don't know if they can hear me." She looked up at the night sky, with a touch of sadness in her eyes as she recalled...
Lu Xiangdong was speechless. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, his eyes were numb, and he clenched the cigarette butt with his fingers.
He felt ashamed for rejecting Gong Xue's request just now.
Because Gong Xue was the second woman in his life who used practical actions to tell him what it meant to be brave.
Gong Xue's philosophy about the sunset and life told by her father in memory of her deeply touched his heart.
At that time, his marriage was in a huge crisis, and the broad and generous mind of Sunset described by Gong Xue, the persistence and fearlessness in encountering difficulties and obstacles, and the courage and optimism to face life with a smile were not exactly the direction and lack of direction in his confused and painful life.
Motivation?
He knows how to win back his wife's heart.
That woman who is as strong and brave as Gong Xue is worthy of him giving up everything to fight for her...
I remember that I was suddenly enlightened and said: "Don't worry, I promise to make your dream come true!" Then he jumped up and faced the gentle breeze of the night, turned around and left.
Gong Xue, who had a lawsuit look on her face, couldn't understand why Commander Lu, who was still immersed in a depressed mood just now, suddenly changed after chatting with her and became the confident and calm leader when they first met.
Lu Xiangdong tightened Gong Xue's skydiving gear, gave her an OK sign, and then led his team to board the plane.
High-altitude parachuting is one of the most basic and important skills for Army Special Forces. In modern warfare, special forces must go deep behind enemy lines to perform special tasks. The easiest and most effective way to break through the enemy's defense line is to choose transport aircraft to airdrop troops.
Since we are selecting outstanding talents for the Skyhawk Special Forces, parachuting is naturally a required training subject.
"When will the bright moon come? My parachute bag asks the sky. I don't know which way the wind is blowing today or where I'm going. I want to leave the plane in three steps, but I'm afraid of sitting on the step door..." A parachute ballad widely circulated in a certain women's special operations company pokes fun at paratroopers.
The state of mind when skydiving...
Amid the rumble of planes, armed helicopters soared into the sky.
The aircraft crawled to an altitude of 800 meters under the impact of the strong airflow rolled up by the propeller.
Lu Xiangdong gave the order to take off to the fifteen military cadets. The students who had parachute experience jumped out of the cabin from the tail of the plane one by one at intervals of one second.
Five seconds later, one, two, four, and seven umbrella flowers opened one after another. The snow-white umbrella flowers were like clouds blooming in the blue sky, showing the people on the ground their light, beautiful, moving and generous side.
Gong Xue jumped out of the plane second to last, and behind her was Lu Xiangdong.
When Lu Xiangdong saw that the umbrella flowers in front of him were all blooming smoothly, he followed Gong Xue's footsteps and jumped out of the cabin.
At the same time, Gao Lie drove the military off-road vehicle directly into the airport's dedicated lane.
Tian Haifang was already waiting by the roadside. When he saw Gao Lie get out of the car, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Captain Gao is here in great numbers. I'm getting cramps in my legs from waiting!"
According to the military rank, Gao Lie was supposed to salute Tian Haifang, but the two were too familiar with each other, so Gao Lie directly greeted the big brother in the military compound with a gentle fist, "Haifang brother is still so humorous!"
Tian Haifang chuckled twice, bumped Gao Lie with his shoulders, and squinted his eyes, "Who can compare with you? Not only will your career be on the higher level, but you will also have a beautiful wife at home..."
Gao Lie shook his head with a wry smile and turned his attention to the white umbrella flowers that suddenly appeared in the sky.
He pointed to the sky and asked in surprise: "Has it started?"
"Xiang Dong is very impatient as soon as he goes to the training ground. You don't know it! He personally led the team today and insisted on creating a surprise so that you can take a good look at the cadets he has personally trained..." Tian Haifang explained.
There was a name hanging on Gao Lie's lips, but the moment it blurted out, he suddenly paused.
Tian Haifang was still scolding Lu Xiangdong for his competitiveness, but Gao Lie suddenly roared, pulled him and ran towards the southwest.
Tian Haifang was almost pulled down by his force, "You..."
Gao Lie shouted without looking back, "Something happened, two people didn't open their umbrella bags!"
Tian Haifang's head buzzed and he became confused...
When he saw two black spots falling away from the formation in the sky, his running feet softened and his pace slowed down, "It's... Xiang Dong... and Gong Xue!! It's them ------
----" According to the predetermined order of skydiving, the last two people were Gong Xue and Lu Xiangdong.
Gao Lie's heart was already in his throat, but now when he heard Tian Haifang's desperate murmur, his body suddenly became cold and his eyesight turned black...
Gong Xue....
Lu Tuan....
Gong Xue......
He didn't realize that his running speed was getting faster and faster, and his steps were getting bigger and bigger. In just a few seconds, he had already left Tian Haifang far behind.
Five seconds.
The free fall speed of 800 meters is extremely fast, and the parachutist must open the parachute within 5 seconds to ensure safety and accurately land in the designated area.
Gong Xue and Lu Xiangdong didn't expect that they would encounter a momentary airflow when it was their turn. They were blown by the turbulence and rolled in the air. The two were only an arm's length apart...
Regardless of whether Gong Xue heard it or not, Lu Xiangdong yelled in Gong Xue's direction to remind him: "Don't panic---wait for the parachute bag to open-------"
Lu Xiangdong silently counted the seconds, and when it reached five seconds, the main parachute did not open normally as usual. He counted silently for another two seconds, but the main parachute still did not move at all. He subconsciously touched the pull ring of the backup parachute and pulled hard, but it still did not move.
movement...
Lu Xiangdong's mind went blank for an instant. As he was falling rapidly, he seemed to see a black shadow following his right hand out of the corner of his eye.
