Chapter 1408 Failure to respond

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the parachute slowly fell, Lin Rui worked hard to maintain correct breathing, relying on his ears to analyze the airflow, and then adjusted various parts of the body to keep the body in a balanced state.  A first-class skydiver must know how to maintain an open parachute posture according to airflow conditions, and control his main parachute according to the airflow. He must also know the correct timing of cutting the main parachute and using the secondary parachute.

    Military skydiving is different from civilian and recreational skydiving. The most prominent thing is that military skydiving requires skydivers to land as high speed as possible to avoid attacks and ambushes from land and gain enough reaction time for their own side.  The landing speed must take into account the human body's ability to withstand impact, because a small injury may cause the soldier to lose combat effectiveness, and even affect other comrades and the completion of the entire combat mission.

    Therefore, in military parachuting landings, special landing postures must be relied upon to ensure that no damage occurs during high-speed landing impacts.  Since the emergence of military parachuting, airborne troops from various countries have very strict requirements on parachute landing postures.  In most countries in the world, the roll parachute landing position is commonly used.

    However, unlike most countries, China and some countries in the former Soviet Union adopt a semi-crouching parachute landing posture.  The semi-squat skydiving landing position requires the lower limbs to be in a semi-squat position when not landing, and to achieve "three tights and one flat", that is, bend the legs, align the knees, ankle joints, and the inside of the forefoot, and clamp the soles of the feet parallel to the ground.

    Its main feature is to actively bend the lower limb joints significantly after the initial contact, thereby reducing impact overload and preventing potential injuries by extending the buffering time and increasing the buffering distance.

    The "three tightnesses" are to ensure that both legs can bear the impact at the same time and avoid damage caused by carrying them alone. This requirement is consistent with the improvements made by the United States to the roll-type parachute landing method based on the survey in June 1943. It is believed to help  Keeping muscles in good condition can reduce damage.

    "One level" is to ensure that the human body has the largest contact area with the ground from beginning to end, which is similar to the requirements in Australia's roll landing.

    Internationally, it is generally believed that the impact overload on each segment of the body when landing in a rollover position is much smaller than that when landing in a semi-squat position.  When using a roll landing, each segment of the lower limbs and their joints rotate.

    This kind of movement is conducive to changing the strain energy stored in elastic materials such as muscles and ligaments, increasing their ability to absorb impact energy, exerting a greater buffering effect, and reducing the impact overload endured by each segment.  Therefore, from the perspective of reducing the impact overload on the center of mass, feet and various segments of the human body, the rollover posture is better than the half-squat posture when landing in a parachute jump.  But there are also studies that show that the half-squat is better than the roll.

    It is said that novices are afraid of leaving the cabin and veterans are afraid of landing. This is a famous saying about skydiving. The correct landing posture is very critical. In fact, many paratroopers in various countries will break their legs due to negligence.  Lin Rui's landing posture was a standard half-squat landing, which was fast and swift, but he could withstand a slightly larger impact.

    After landing, he quickly took off his parachute, raised his gun and checked the surrounding situation, and then looked at the gathering point marked on the GPS locator. He didn't deviate too far, but several team members fell farther away.  .  While receiving information from his team members through the communication headset, he quickly rushed to the meeting point.

    ¡°It¡¯s safe nearby, we¡¯re on our way to the meeting point.¡± Sergey¡¯s voice answered in the headset.

    "Very good, how are the others?" Lin Rui continued to ask.

    "No problem, I'm with Chief and Sausage, and we're heading to the meeting point, Captain." Biscuit replied.

    "Okay, let's see you at the meeting point." Lin Rui arrived at the meeting point.  Shogan and Yelena have already arrived, he shrugged, "You are faster than me."

    "I was a member of the skydiving club when I was seventeen years old. As for Yelena, she was once a professional athlete in Russia." Maang An shrugged, "Not everything, you can be ahead of us."

    Lin Rui shook his head, "Contact Cobain. Ask him when our help will arrive."

    Shogishi nodded, pressed the earphone to contact Cobain, the communications officer of the technical department, "Hey, Cobain, we have arrived at the scheduled location. Yes, half an hour earlier than expected, so when will our assistance arrive?  ?¡±

    Cobain's voice was a little helpless, "Sorry, brother, our informant in Syria is obviously not reliable. He was supposed to drive a truck over to pick you up at this time, but he lost contact half an hour ago, and I can't notify you.  to him."

    "Half an hour ago? Are you kidding? This is a secret mission. What if this informant is caught? You didn't notify us until now?" Jiang An frowned.

    "Don't worry, he can't betray you, because I didn't take your landing until the last moment"Give it to him.  I'm sorry, but we don't have as much control in the Middle East as we do in Africa.  "Cobain said helplessly, "There are not many people who can win over us to do things for us.  "

    "But what should we do now? Are you going to let us walk through this desert?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "Don't be like this Rick, it's just something unexpected. I'm working hard to remedy it. Twenty minutes, you give me another twenty minutes, and I'll arrange another car to pick you up." Cobain was a little helpless.

    "Okay, let's do this for now. You continue to arrange people and vehicles. However, we can't wait here for long. The parachute drop just now is obvious and will attract the attention of nearby armed personnel. There are many factions of these Syrian militias, and we don't need to follow them.  They clashed, which led to other troubles later. So we have to avoid here." Lin Rui whispered, "I need you to plan a route for us. Go to the nearest town, we need to get some news from there, or watch  Let¡¯s see if we can get a car.¡±

    "Okay Rick, I'm really sorry." Cobain sighed.

    Lin Rui didn¡¯t say much. Although he was not satisfied, he knew that Cobain had tried his best.  Black Island Company's control over the Middle East is indeed limited. Currently, the foreign aid they can obtain mainly comes from other companies in the International Mercenary Alliance. The quality of these mercenary companies varies greatly, and the informants they provide make it even more difficult.  Not reliable anymore.

    If something goes wrong, Cobain can¡¯t do anything about it.  What better solution could he, a technician at the headquarters on St. Keizer Island, have?  So they still need to rely on themselves to solve the matter.

    Lin Rui turned around and looked at the brothers and whispered, "Is everyone here? We have a problem now. The response vehicle cannot arrive, but we must evacuate quickly. Therefore, we can only give up hiding some equipment and try our best to  Moving forward lightly."
