The strongest pilot ever

Chapter 207 Skydiving at Sea
207 Sea jumping
After a day of theoretical study and a morning of actual combat training, the field survivability drill assessment of Pingchuan base pilots finally began.

The pilots who were not on duty were pulled to high altitude by the helicopters of the Army Aviation Brigade, then parachuted and landed. After that, a near-combat field survival drill assessment officially kicked off.

For this assessment, Fade Chen and the others can't take anything with them, and they have to survive outside for three days. Moreover, during these three days, the base will send ground troops to simulate the blue army—all members of the special operations brigade of the local military. Chasing and killing them round after round, day and night, the superiors did this in order to enable them to develop the ability to survive in the wild as soon as possible, because the future combat environment will definitely get worse and worse, Everyone must prepare for the worst.

The helicopter carrying Fade Chen and the others headed east.

Chen Fei turned his head and looked out through the porthole of the helicopter. The land was getting farther and farther away, and there were only vague shadows. Soon, the outline of the land disappeared, and there was a vast white sea everywhere.

Chen Fei withdrew his gaze, and he and Li Donghai looked at each other. They all had an idea in their hearts that this time the parachuting would probably be done at sea.

In the previous training, regarding skydiving, the instructors of the Special Operations Brigade taught us many ways, on the plains, in the mountains, in the forest, in the snow, on the sea, in the lake, how to skydive in any kind of place, after jumping The instructors of the Special Warfare Brigade have taught everyone what troubles they will encounter and how to deal with them. However, the higher-ups have been silent and secretive about where they will parachute in today's assessment, but judging from now, it must be No doubt at sea.

Skydiving?
Everyone's heart sank.

Due to the long time of immersion in seawater, high physical exertion, and being easily affected by factors such as waves, undercurrents, and water temperature, parachute rescue at sea is difficult and demanding.

In addition, in a very short period of time in the air, the pilots have to complete multiple actions such as uncoupling the backup parachute, opening the sea lifeboat, and inflating the inflatable vest, which is very difficult.

With the expansion of naval aviation missions and the normalization of maritime missions, the probability of aircraft in danger at sea is increasing. Once a danger occurs and is forced to parachute, the life safety of the pilots will face a great test.Therefore, the Naval Air Force requires every pilot to conduct regular parachuting training at sea and rely on strict training to successfully deal with unexpected dangers.

But Fade Chen and the others are not naval aviation, but now, in order to better carry out combat missions, they have to practice sea jumping honestly like the naval aviation.

But Fade Chen wasn't too worried. He is now an expert in survival in the wild. Whether it's at sea or on land, his level is already very high, so he doesn't feel any pressure in his heart.

Of course, he was not careless, and he still scored 120 points.

In the list of the most dangerous sports in the world, the risk factors of skydiving and diving are among the top.

Skydiving at sea is more difficult than skydiving on land.

During the parachuting process, due to the reflection of the water surface, it is not conducive to observing the height and orientation of the parachute. When entering the water, the team members must not only consider their own safety, but also determine the emergency rescue method as soon as possible. This is a severe test for their courage, physical fitness and skills.

The parachuting process of sea skydiving takes less than 3 minutes, but everyone has to complete 16 operations in succession, such as unlocking the backup parachute connection, opening the sea lifeboat, and inflating the inflatable vest. Moreover, sea skydiving is prone to parachute failure , tumbling into the water and other special feelings.

In addition, sea skydiving takes a long time to soak in seawater, consumes a lot of physical strength, and is easily affected by factors such as waves, undercurrents, and water temperature, which is not easy.

To be honest, if given a choice, even special forces like the Marine Corps would not be willing to parachute at sea, and would rather choose land.

Of course, Chen Fei and the others are not just training skydiving today. After skydiving, they have to leave immediately, find a place to go ashore, and start living in the wild. The difficulty of the task is even higher than skydiving at sea!

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the helicopter that Fade and the others took arrived at the designated sea area.

Height 1000 meters.

At [-]:[-], the plane arrived at the scheduled sea area.

The crew presses the release signal, and the green signal light in the cabin immediately lights up.

"preparation!"

"Jump! Jump! Jump!"

After hearing the commander's password, the dropper quickly started dropping.

Chen Fei was the first to jump out of the cabin, the second was Li Cheng, and the third was Li Donghai...

Rapid drop in height.

500 meters...

300 meters...

100 meter.
50 m.

10 m.

Overboard.

As soon as his feet stepped into the water, Fade Chen quickly pulled down his hands to disengage the lock, released the straps, and separated the umbrella.

[You have successfully completed skydiving at sea, field survival experience +8]

A pleasant voice sounded in my mind.

Fade Chen couldn't help laughing, he pulled on the life jacket while laughing.

They all changed into new life jackets.

This life jacket is a short vest type, which has the characteristics of small size, easy to carry, and simple to wear.

It mainly consists of straps and underarm inflators.Underarm inflatable devices are usually placed under the armpits, one on each side.

After the pilot parachuted into the water in distress, the inflator automatically inflated the airbag, just enough to form a "life buoy" on the pilot's chest, making the pilot's head float out of the water, and its buoyancy is much greater than that of the old-fashioned life jacket.

After falling into the water, Fade Chen took a short rest. After that, he looked around and judged the direction.

If it was a real catapult jump, then they must have other equipment on them, but at this time, he has nothing, not even a compass, so he can only use the method of scouts to judge the direction.

Fortunately, the weather was relatively clear at this time, so he could make judgments based on the changes in the shadows.

After a while, he had a rough judgment in his mind.

[You used the correct method to judge the direction, field survival experience +24]

The voice sounded again.

He smiled, turned around, and swam quickly in the direction he had judged.

Naval aviation can also do sea jumping, but they are waiting for rescue in the sea after jumping. Fade Chen and the others have to run quickly after jumping out of the parachute. Otherwise, the blue army that simulates the enemy will come in a speedboat , if they are discovered and arrested, their assessment will be recorded as zero, and they will have to come again in the future when they are free. The superior stipulates that they must not be arrested before at least five o'clock tomorrow afternoon to be considered qualified.

So the first priority at the moment is to leave the place as soon as possible, find an island first, and go ashore as soon as possible.

Chen Fei chose a direction and swam ahead quickly.

When they jumped out of the helicopter, Li Donghai and the others were nearby, but after falling into the water, they couldn't see a single shadow. Chen Fei estimated that the nearest one might be one or two kilometers away from him, because the wind was blowing during the skydiving. a bit big.

Forget it, don't think about it so much, let's find an island to go ashore first, swimming in sea water is really tiring!
Fade Chen let out a breath, and quickly swam up.
