The sky full of umbrella flowers, sophisticated equipment, brave warriors, and the emergence of airborne troops have realized mankind’s dream of “magic soldiers descending from the sky.” The blossoming umbrella flowers blooming in the blue sky are the result of the paratroopers’ efforts bit by bit.
Watered by hard work.
If you want to become a beautiful and dazzling umbrella flower in the blue sky, you must go through two weeks of rigorous training before entering the phased assessment of the off-machine action course.
Two weeks of devil training gave Gu Mengmeng a personal experience of tempering her will and baptism of her soul.
The instructor was an excellent female paratrooper, her surname was Fan, and her name was "Ju". Gu Mengmeng called her instructor Fan. She was not tall and pretty, but she was full of intelligence. The first lesson of the parachute training was
The posture is fixed, the body is bent forward and sideways at 35 degrees, the left leg is slightly bent forward, and the hands are held on the abdomen and the head is downward. This high-altitude parachute posture will make people suffer from backache and sweat in just a few minutes.
Gu Mengmeng was recovering from a serious illness and her physical condition was not optimistic. She was so exhausted that she almost fainted during the first parachute training.
Instructor Fan said to her sternly: "Are you okay?!"
Gu Mengmeng gritted her teeth and waved her hands, saying: "It's okay, I can hold on."
Sweat soaked through her clothes, her legs lost all feeling, and her waist was so painful that it was about to burst if she moved. But Gu Mengmeng persisted and passed the first lesson of parachute training with her extraordinary endurance.
When folding her umbrella, Gu Mengmeng wanted an experienced comrade to help her fold it once. She asked instructor Fan: "Can I ask an experienced comrade to help me fold my umbrella?"
"no!"
"The time for folding umbrellas accounts for nearly half of the total training time. Can it be compressed?"
"no!"
When every inquiry received unquestionable denial from the instructor, Gu Mengmeng had no choice but to obediently come to the parachute stacking field and start the key step of the airborne assault training: parachute stacking.
A new model of pure white paratroopers was displayed in front of her eyes, and the parachute field was silent.
Instructor Fan was seen quickly folding an umbrella covering an area of more than ten square meters into a cube the size of a school bag. Dozens of procedures were performed alternately and skillfully, which made Gu Mengmeng dazzled.
"Come on!"
Gu Mengmeng was stunned, "Am I coming?"
Instructor Fan nodded and said, "Yes, it's you."
The other recruits looked at her, and Gu Mengmeng couldn't help but become nervous. To be honest, she hadn't seen clearly how the instructor folded the umbrella, so it would definitely be embarrassing for her to get on.
Gu Mengmeng was asked to take off her shoes and wear clean socks before she could get on the flat mat. She went up carefully and accidentally brought in a small stone. She immediately bent down and picked it up subconsciously. Instructor Fan looked at her.
, his eyes moved.
However, Gu Mengmeng still stepped on the umbrella cover due to nervousness. Instructor Fan, who was always kind, said with a straight face: "Umbrellas are the 'wings' of future airborne assault operations. They maintain your life. When folding umbrellas, you must keep them secure.
Be clean and gentle, and it is strictly forbidden to step on, smash, trample or other rough behaviors!”
Gu Mengmeng blushed in embarrassment and became even more at a loss.
Instructor Fan said: "There is really no complicated procedure that can be omitted." The instructor who was gently arranging the umbrella rope raised his head and said to her seriously, "Umbrellas have spirituality. Whatever you do to it, the umbrella will treat you the same way."
.Normally, a recruit needs to jump parachute eight times to become a qualified airborne soldier."
Gu Mengmeng silently wrote down the instructor's words and felt a sudden admiration for her in her heart.
Instructor Fan, who looked dark and thin, once encountered something special when he was parachuting for the seventh time. A special situation is a special situation. At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the main parachute rope was wrapped around the parachute, and the parachute plummeted! His life was at stake.
, every operation she made might lead to tragedy. But she calmly yanked the backup parachute. Finally, the backup parachute opened, and the huge umbrella flower took her down slowly and landed safely.
"Instructor, you are awesome!" Gu Mengmeng said sincerely.
Instructor Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead, patted Gu Mengmeng on the shoulder and said: "You are also very good, even better than the female soldiers I trained! I have observed it for a long time and feel that you have a lot more qualities than them.
The qualities that people admire are that you are not afraid of sweating and enduring hardship. Especially in the smallest movements, you can see your seriousness and hard work. I admire you very much, Reporter Gu. Come on! I believe you can do better.
!”
Gu Mengmeng's face was really red this time, but she also felt a long-lost sense of accomplishment and happiness from the training.
After several days of training, Gu Mengmeng has mastered a series of umbrella training skills, including the most difficult umbrella folding skill, which she practiced like a handicraft.
Finally, two weeks of rigorous training were over, and Gu Mengmeng entered the phased assessment of the off-machine movement course. She stood on the simulated off-machine platform and looked down a little nervously. After hearing the test instructor sent her
After the signal, she took a deep breath, took three steps away from the aircraft, made a zigzag shape with her body, drew a parabola in the air, and landed squarely in the center of the mat with a "pop". The moment she fell, she was
The floating heart slowly returned to its original position.
"Very good! You can parachute now. It only takes 12 days for you to become a quasi-paratrooper, which is not easy. You are the first female reporter to master the latest off-plane postures of airborne troops." The troop parachutist in charge of the assessment
The director of the training department said approvingly while holding the 17-day training plan prepared for her.
"Really? Director, I can skydive?!" Gu Mengmeng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Her wait and hope these days will come true!
"Yes."
"And you are also the first female reporter to skydive with a new type of parachute!"
Gu Mengmeng was so excited that she couldn't speak for a long time. She held the umbrella on her back and looked forward to the next day's flight.
A few days later, the military newspaper published news about the new equipment of the airborne troops and the new posture of parachuting off the aircraft. A picture of Gu Mengmeng successfully landing and instructor Fan hugging each other was also posted in the newspaper.
At that time, she had returned to her home in Beijing and accepted the advice of her friend Enya to prepare for a hospital check-up. When she came back this time, she was worried about her delayed menstruation, and she subconsciously felt that something was not good.
Just as she was about to change clothes and go out, she received a strange text message on her mobile phone.
"Next time, I will definitely fly into the blue sky with my silly girl! W."
Did he see it? Did he see the photo in the newspaper?
Gu Mengmeng had mixed feelings. She stared blankly at his sudden text message and couldn't move for a long time.
