    Colonel Fetterman von Edward once again disappointed the officers and soldiers of the 707th Regiment.  The officers and soldiers of the 707th Regiment happily boarded the military vehicle and prepared for their first parachute jump. When they arrived at their destination, they did not hear the roar of the transport aircraft. What appeared in front of them was not an airport full of transport aircraft, but another flat training area.  The ground color of the field is very new, and it was obviously just excavated in the mountain forest.  Five towering skydiving towers stand in a row on the training ground like skyscrapers.

    "Welcome to the Fetterman Parachute Training Ground. That's right! It has the same name as me, because I designed this training ground, including the five skydiving towers. In the past two months of your physical training,  The engineering troops of the Seventh Army have been busy building this place for you." Edward smiled proudly, "And your first real parachute jump will be completed on those five 80-meter-high towers. After two weeks, you will  To actually jump out of an airplane. This is your basic airborne course."

    The officers and soldiers were quite disappointed. Under the orders of the German instructors, they began to check the parachute bags and prepare to parachute.

    "Let me demonstrate for you." Edward put on his parachute bag very skillfully and was taken to the top of the tower by the elevator in full view of everyone.  ¡ª¡ªThe officers and soldiers held their breath, and Edward fell from the air like a stone, and then used very skillful movements to pull open the parachute rope in mid-air, and landed floating on the ground.

    "Don't be afraid of skydiving unless you have a fear of heights. Skydiving is an exact science. As long as you master the rules, you will no longer be afraid of it or even like it. Remember, you are airborne troops, and skydiving is for you  Just walking is normal." Edward dragged the parachute over and asked, "What should I do if the main parachute can't open?"

    The officers and soldiers were well-trained and made a forceful pressing and pulling movement with their right hands holding the abdomen, then stopped the abdomen and said, "Open the backup parachute!"

    "What is the standard landing action?" Edward continued to ask.

    "Close your legs together, bend your knees at fifteen degrees; make fists with both hands, with the palms of your fists facing inward, gently place them against your forehead, and clamp your elbows to protect your face; place your chin against your neck to prevent the back of your head from being injured when it lands on the ground." The officers and soldiers sang loudly in unison.  Recite the Tao fluently.

    "What if I fall to the ground on my left side?"

    "Fold the area above the knees to the left, push the lower abdomen and chest forward; naturally lift the left button slightly, and droop the right shoulder."

    "Very good. What if the wind rolls after landing?" Edward nodded slightly. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the answers of the officers and soldiers and was just waiting for practice to prove it.

    "Use your right knee to press your left knee hard to the left, so that your body naturally falls to the left, and roll quickly to slow down the impact. However, when landing on a slope, you do not use a rolling landing but a bird landing,"

    "The order of the landing body grounding troops is?"

    ¡°Forefoot, inner calf, inner thigh, side of hip and back muscles.¡±

    "Very good. Generally, the impact of a skydiving landing is equivalent to jumping from a height of 1.5 meters. You must remember the essentials of these movements. These are scientific proofs. They can make use of the more muscular and elastic parts of your body.  Distribute the impact evenly to reduce damage to your body. At the same time, I emphasize again that after landing in strong winds, you must control your parachute and quickly release the parachute to prevent yourself from being pulled down by the parachute and being dragged on the ground."  Edward warned, "At this time, you must quickly turn around to face the parachute, then pull the control strap to collapse the parachute, and at the same time walk around the parachute. Once the parachute collapses, you must pull the connecting ring between the parachute rope and the control strap.  Collect the parachute and paracord as quickly as possible. Do you understand?"

    "Understood! Sir!" the officers and soldiers said in unison.

    "Okay! Come on, boys!" Edward encouraged.

    In order to avoid embarrassment in front of the German instructors due to stage fright among the officers and soldiers under his command, the regiment leader Gao Tianying took the initiative to set an example for the entire regiment and was the first to prepare to parachute. In fact, he was still thinking about his little ninety-nine.

    Under the admiring gaze of the entire regiment¡¯s officers and soldiers, Gao Tianying boarded the elevator with a look of resignation.  A minute later, Gao Tianying was at the top of the skydiving tower.

    "Damn! It's really high here!" Gao Tianying looked at the clouds that seemed to be close at hand and the ant-like crowd below, and a brief feeling of dizziness came to his heart.  The whistling cold wind passed by him. Gao Tianying suppressed his racing heart and slightly cramped calves, thinking: That old guy Edward said that the opening rate of the main and secondary parachutes is 10,000,000. If I am unlucky  He was smashed into a piece of meat pie, and even if he were a ghost, I wouldn't let him go.  After thinking about the worst situation bitterly, Gao Tianying cheered himself up and said: You are about to become China's first paratrooper to officially parachute!  Thinking of this exciting honor, Gao Tianying resolutely stood up with his legs??Tight!  "Following the command of the jumpmaster, the paratroopers immediately moved forward and quickly stood in the vacant position in front. This ensured that all paratroopers could jump out of the cabin in the shortest time and ensure that they would not scatter too far after landing.

    The paratroopers stared at the indicator lights with keen eyes - the red light went out and the green light came on.  "Exit the cabin!" the jumpmaster ordered decisively.

    The paratroopers jumped out of the cabin one after another and jumped into the blue sky.

    Under the clear blue sky, the paratroopers of the 707th Airborne Regiment of the Northeast Army successfully soared into the sky one after another. The scene was very spectacular.  Immediately, the senior generals of the Northeast Army, Army and Air Force who came specially to observe on the ground applauded and cheered.  Zhang Xueliang, who came to personally watch the training and airborne training of the Northeast Army's first airborne regiment, also put down his binoculars with joy. He was so excited that the Northeast Army finally had its own airborne troops!

    Among the jubilant crowd, those who are attentive will find that Lieutenant General Su Bingwen next to Zhang Xueliang has always had a straight face. He is very unhappy now.  When he came to inspect the 707th Regiment of the 29th Brigade today, the regiment leader Gao Tianying actually said this after saluting him: "Reporting to Commander Su, Brigadier Ma expressed his greetings to you on behalf of the entire brigade and gave instructions to our 707th Airborne Regiment.  All officers and soldiers will fully cooperate with your 7th Army in completing any difficult tasks in future combat cooperation."

    Su Bingwen suddenly became confused: "Cooperation? Cooperation? Did I hear it wrong or are you kidding! You belong to the 7th Army to begin with! Don't think that you are no longer my subordinates now that you belong to the Air Force!" He even said to the 707th Regiment  The 29th Brigade was greatly offended by the behavior of "standing on its own" and was in a bad mood all day long.

    At this time, the officers and soldiers of the 707th Regiment began to feel a sense of superiority due to their special status as "airborne troops". In addition, Ma Longxiang and Gao Tianying indulged them in discipline and influenced them with the idea of ??"we are the elite".  Unknowingly, the regiment was filled with the arrogance of "number one in the army", and its independent consciousness began to slowly grow.  In their minds, the 29th Brigade is a special elite unit directly affiliated with the Northeast Frontier Defense Department and directly taking orders from Zhang Xueliang. This makes their real immediate boss Su Bingwen very dissatisfied but helpless.

    Two months later, the 29th Independent Infantry Brigade was completely reorganized into the 29th Airborne Brigade of the Northeast Army Air Force.  Just six months later, the 25th Brigade and the 44th Brigade also became members of the Northeast Army's airborne troops and developed into parachute troops and airborne troops.  Over time, the size of the Northeast Army's airborne troops continued to expand, and they played an important role in the upcoming Sino-Japanese War.

    Colonel Fettermann von Edward and other twenty-five German airborne instructors have completed their mission and are about to leave the 707th Regiment and leave Northeast China to return to Germany.  Only then did the officers and soldiers of the 707th Regiment realize that they were so reluctant to leave these German instructors, whom they had called "damn Germans", that they would never see the harshness of their gray-blue eyes again.  The light is gone; I can no longer hear them waving their riding whips while forcing themselves to do those hard training in jabbering German and broken Chinese.  Thinking that they might never see these respectable and amiable German teachers again, a kind of sadness came to the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the 707th Regiment.

    Gao Tianying discussed it with brigade commander Ma Longxiang and other officers, and they all felt that the German instructors had worked hard enough here for nearly half a year. Without their strict supervision, the birth of the 707th Airborne Regiment of the Northeast Army would not have been possible. Before leaving, we  As a landowner, you should also express your gratitude.

    It is a celebration party to celebrate that all the officers and soldiers of the 707th Regiment have passed the parachuting test and become true airborne troops. It is also a farewell party for the officers and soldiers of the 707th Regiment to send off their German instructors.  The venue was still on the training ground, and the officers and soldiers were surrounded by boxes of food, flowers and beer.  Gao Tianying asked Edward to give a final speech to the officers and soldiers of the 707th Regiment.

    The thunderous applause below surprised Edward, because when he gave a speech before, the Northeast soldiers below either had indifferent expressions or stared at him with eyes that looked like debt collectors.  He wears the Silver Tomahawk Medal neatly on his chest that Zhang Xueliang awarded to him and all the German instructors.  Edward didn't say much: "Children, my companions and I have witnessed your steady and rapid progress step by step over the past few days. This period has been the happiest time in my military career. Now you are real paratroopers."  Now! You can now put your pants into your shiny paratrooper boots! I am very happy, you are very good. When I look at you, I feel the pride of an artist looking at his most proud work of art!  I believe that the Northeast Army paratroopers composed of you will definitely become stronger and stronger, and will definitely play a huge role in the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and your battle to defend the motherland! Children!" Edward paused and said in a more serious tone, "  Remember, you are the elite!¡±

    The German instructors on the stage applauded together, and the Northeastern officers and soldiers below also applauded with tears in their eyes.

    The usually unsmiling German instructors all had kind faces and loving eyes. One by one, they wore the silver wing badges coveted by the officers and soldiers on each paratrooper in each team they trained. This is what made them become paratroopers.  The honor of a truly qualified paratrooper.  After saluting, the officers and soldiers hugged their German teachers tightly.  The spotlight kept flashing, recording the last memories of the German instructors and the Northeast Army paratrooper students.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The national instructors all had kind faces at this time, and their eyes were full of kindness.
