Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 172 I am willing to be a pioneer, even if it means giving my life
Just when Li Yunlong was about to choose his own future path, Huang He activated the Awakening Tiger system and began to check the technology options for paratroopers.

He didn't mention the paratroopers on a whim, but for a very legitimate reason.

That's naturally because there are corresponding scientific research options in the system. After unlocking, the system's military factory can produce the equipment needed by paratroopers, and the same production line will be obtained in reality.

Although this scientific research project is not an option at this time, it is also understandable. After all, there are at least three requirements for airborne, one is transport aircraft, the other is paratrooper troops, and the third is air supremacy.

Now he hasn't even clicked on the decision-making line for Yingying. Without a single plane, it is naturally impossible to directly unlock the paratrooper technology.

But it doesn't take long to wait, the last decision will be over in five days.

With the continuous advancement of science and technology in various countries and the continuous innovation of combat concepts, more and more arms and their new weapons have appeared on the battlefield.

During World War I, tanks, planes, and poison gas appeared on the battlefield, while during World War II, there were more modern arms such as special forces and airborne troops.

This period is the era of rapid development of the airborne force, and Maozi can be said to be the father of the airborne force. They formed a 20-member parachute team as early as the Tsarist Russia period.

The training of airborne troops is often accompanied by a large number of accidents and safety problems caused by immature equipment.Maozi did not give up his research because of various problems in the early days of the establishment of this experimental unit.

They are constantly improving the combat and training system of the airborne troops, so this new type of arms is developing extremely fast in remote Siberia.

In 1935, Maozi already had a paratrooper force of 1 people.

In the Kiev military exercise in the same year, they sent [-] paratroopers, and even dropped several anti-tank guns and an ultra-light tank.

Although the exercise has a certain performance element, it was enough to amaze the observation groups from various countries at that time, and fully recognized the actual combat value of this unit.

Those military observers began to realize that the next war would usher in a new style of play.

"It's a pity that these Maozi elite paratroopers sent a large wave directly due to tactical reasons during the Battle of the Dnieper River."

After that exercise, countries formed their own airborne troops one after another, and even Gallic chicken and pasta showed no sign of weakness.

Pasta has always played the role of surrender No.2 in World War II.

Their paratroopers alone can be said to be one of the few pure fighters.After many fierce battles, the Lightning Paratrooper Division has only 3500 people left from 300 when it was formed.

When the Yidai backstab axis switched to the alliance, the remaining members were absorbed by Santoko's [-]th Paratrooper Division. It can be said that they are very few spaghetti troops accepted and respected by Santoko.

There is nothing to say about the Gallic Chicken, because the surrender was too early, and the two paratroop battalions didn't know if they would have a chance to participate in the debut.

Guofu’s first paratrooper unit was established in 1942. At that time, the head of the Air Force’s enlisted students felt that it would be a pity to abandon those who failed the Air Force’s entry test, so he recruited some of them to become paratroopers and established a parachute training team.

In order to play a role in the next war, the troops were provided with vertical combat support.They conducted a series of training such as airport attack and defense, breakthrough of key defense areas and survival in the wild.

It's a pity that this kind of long-term strategic vision didn't get attention at the time. After all, Baldhead's skills were all focused on the stock market, and the general environment that year was too bad.

Airborne training requires a lot of equipment. If someone said that there is interest in putting the money in the bank, and bought the plane and put it there waiting to be used, it is impossible for this army to get financial support.

Coupled with inappropriate training and equipment, the final result is nothing.

In the end, in July 1943, the captain of the Flying Tigers relied on his personal relationships to move around and obtain some of the materials and equipment needed by the paratroopers.

On New Year's Day in 1944, the first paratrooper unit of the Republic of China, the "First Paratrooper Regiment", was established, and the external code name was Hongxiang Troop.

After a lot of training, this unit finally caught up with the last chance to fight the devils, and in July 1945 intercepted the northward retreat of the devils in Guangdong and Hunan.

They even attacked the devil's Danyang Airport in the form of a plane landing, and launched an attack with the coordination of the army.

Generally speaking, although Guofu's paratroopers were established relatively late and were nearing the end when they entered the battle, they have at least achieved three battles and three victories.

Since most members of Hongxiang's troops are thoughtful and enlightened young people, they revolted and became the cornerstone of the new China's airborne forces.

If Li Yunlong leads the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army to train airborne troops, then this title will fall on him.But in a historical sense, it is definitely more powerful than being in charge of a small military region.

And Commander Li's future opponents will be much worse than him. Xiaotian's paratroopers can be described as top-notch. They have proved that they are the most trashy paratroopers during World War II with their actions time and time again.

According to insiders, the best pilots went to the Army Aviation, the best soldiers went to the Navy, and the rest went to the parachute troops.

Back then, Kiev military exercises were also attended by observers from small days, and seeing the several airborne exercises held by Maozi, the devil was also very moved.

They organized a [-]-man parachute operation during the Shanghai battle, but it was a completely catastrophic suicide attack.

Due to weather and technical reasons, the pilot who drove the transport plane directly took the wrong road.

In addition, their transport planes took low-altitude flights, resulting in many poorly trained devils who were not prepared at all, and some of them fell into boxes without even opening their parachutes in the air.

Some fell directly into the lake and were drowned alive when they were pressed into the water by parachutes.

In that operation, only more than 30 people rushed to the destination according to the original plan, and this is the reason for the overwhelming luck.

What's even more outrageous is that during the Battle of Wuhan, the grassroots officers of the Devil's 106th Division suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Wanjialing.

In order to ensure the correct command of the besieged troops, the top army officials ordered trained transport plane pilots to airdrop more than 200 officers.

Although no one was killed in the airborne fall, the pilot suffered from a serious illness and directly threw all these grassroots officers to the position of the fruit preserves.

It was because of these two-handed operations that Xiaotian stopped all kinds of experimental paratrooper projects.

Later, it was because Santoko, an ally of his own family, performed well in the Battle of Crete, and added that he wanted to attack the Pacific Ocean, so he picked up the project that he almost gave up.

But the classic old job is coming again. Paratroopers need to use transport planes, and there is no dedicated air force in the small days.

The result was that the army and the navy insisted on playing separately, which caused the already slow training progress to almost become a slow pace. In the end, it was San Dezi who gave them a hand.

San Dezi did occupy Crete, but Operation Mercury turned the island into a paratrooper's grave, and even the major general and commander of the airborne division died here.

Since then, Mustache has hardly carried out large-scale airborne landings.Adhering to the idea of ​​rational use of resources, he sold a batch of idle equipment and training equipment to Xiaotian.

In order to show his sincerity, he also sent a well-trained instructor team.

At the beginning, these Germanic instructors were quite happy.

After all, the individual soldiers who received training were of high quality, not as strong as Asians, and all of them were like calves.Moreover, he is not afraid of death and has a high execution ability.

But whether it is an army or a navy soldier, as long as they are exposed to skydiving training, they will immediately pull their hips.When parachuting, the movements are comparable to zombies, and every actual combat training will inevitably reduce the number of staff.

In fact, the reason is very simple, because there are no big fights and spiritual injection rods on the plane.After losing the assistance of the outside world, these devils directly exposed their true colors.

Moreover, during the selection process, the top management only paid attention to physical fitness and combat experience, and did not consider whether the soldiers were afraid of heights or whether they would suffer from airsickness.

Their training is very brutal, without any psychological counseling for soldiers, almost as a disposable product.Moreover, these students have rigid thinking and always regard themselves as infantry.

San Dezi's instructor persisted for half a year, and finally left North China in despair.

Their evaluation is also very straightforward. As infantry, the students are very elite, even if they are placed on the cruel Eastern Front of Europe, they have a chance to survive.

But being a paratrooper is nothing, most of the students can't even learn any skills, only the porcelain hammer of fighting will.

However, I have to admit that once these bastards can land safely, they can still display impressive combat effectiveness.This individual quality is the last fig leaf for the devil paratroopers.

Looking at the entire stage of the war of aggression against China, they only had one positive record.

That is, the divisions that cooperated with the frontal attack in the Battle of Jinnan broke through the defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain in one fell swoop, and even penetrated into some military-level headquarters.

If Li Yunlong's training speed is fast enough, he can catch up with this battle, and then it will be a duel between the paratroopers of the enemy and us.

------------

"Afraid of heights? Brigadier, what do you mean by that?"

The words of the brigade commander made everyone present a little puzzled.

As a native of the Dabie Mountains, before joining the army, Li Datuan would often go hunting with the hunters in the village. His favorite thing is to climb high and look far away while resting.

And after coming to Jin Province, whether it was the New First Regiment or the New Second Regiment period, the troops did not seldom fight in the mountains.The symptoms of fear of heights are impossible to happen to him.

Seeing that his Aijiang was full of confusion, the brigade commander continued with a smile: "This is a common question, just say it straight, how can I trick you with so many people?"

This kind smile reminded Captain Li of one thing, that is, Huang He said that he would get some planes.

Conquering the sky is an innate dream of human beings.Although the days of the Eighth Route Army are getting better and better, flying a fighter jet is still out of reach.

Thinking of this, he first shook his head to answer the Brigadier's previous question, and then asked impatiently:
"Could it be that Lao Huang really got a plane? Does Xiao Li still have a chance to go to the sky? You can't tease me about this!"

As soon as these words came out, all the fiery eyes of the new second regiment focused on the brigade commander.The brigade commander nodded, and said bluntly without thinking:

"Why are you lying about this, Huang He will be able to get the plane by the end of this year! You, Li Yunlong, are indeed going to the sky, but"

Before the words were finished, exclamations erupted from the crowd in the temporary command post. Even the soldiers outside couldn't help casting curious glances at such a big commotion.

Li Yunlong was even more exaggerated, he rushed up and hugged the brigade commander, his face was wrinkled with a smile.

"Brigade Commander! I thank you! I thank your eight generations of ancestors! I knew that you still love Xiao Li the most! Such a good job can help me get it."

Only then did the brigade commander realize that Li Datuan probably misunderstood the meaning.But don't blame him, after all, paratroopers and pilots have many similarities.

Both rely on the plane to go to the sky, but one is to fly the plane, and the other is to jump off the plane.

In order to prevent the other party from having greater expectations and greater disappointment, the brigade commander quickly broke free from Li Yunlong's arms, then grabbed him and quickly explained:
"I'm not finished yet! I'm not asking you to fly a plane! I'm asking you to be a paratrooper!"

At this stage, the vast majority of Eighth Route Army soldiers don't know what paratroopers are, and even most of our military's top brass only know the concept of this unit.

Only those who studied at the Frunze Military Academy have systematically understood what it means to be a paratrooper.

After going to the logistics department, although Li Datuan has learned a lot, he is very unfamiliar with the word paratrooper, and this is the first time he heard it today.

However, he often studied secretly, and he was used to looking for Zhao Gang when he was indecisive, so he turned his suspicious eyes to his political commissar.

"Paratroopers, it should be said that they use the airborne battlefield as their combat method. I heard that major European countries have specialized paratrooper units, which are characterized by light equipment, high mobility, and elite troops."

"I think it should be a force that can surpass ground obstacles, carry out long-distance raids, and conduct all-round rapid mobile operations."

"Whether it is cavalry, motorized troops or mechanized troops, compared with paratroopers, their speed and mobility are all overshadowed. If survival is not considered, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are descended from heaven."

As Zhao Gang expressed his understanding, Li Datuan's eyes became brighter and brighter.At the end of the hearing, I even thought of the appearance of bringing troops and parachuting into the mainland.

Although Yamamoto was killed by Kong Jie, the defensive master, Lao Li has always had similar thoughts, not to mention that he and Zheng Yingqi participated in the Baili rush to rescue the doctor.

So when the New Second Regiment was first established, he gathered the elite soldiers in the regiment and formed a commando team.

In the original book, after Li Yunlong graduated from the military academy, he thoroughly implemented his ideas.It took half a year to secretly select 108 people across the country and form a Liangshan team.

The concept of paratroopers coincided with this vague idea in his mind, and even surpassed the concept of special forces the moment it appeared.

It is indeed a pity not to be able to fly a fighter jet, but Li Yunlong knows it well, and he also knows that his own cultural level is not enough to play with that kind of high technology.

Thinking of this, he felt his blood was boiling.Old Li suppressed his excitement, adjusted his military uniform, and then solemnly saluted the brigade commander and said loudly:
"Li Yunlong, head of the new second regiment! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

As the chief of staff of the [-]th Brigade, the skinny staff officer had naturally heard the saying that paratroopers are born to be surrounded.Thinking that Li Yunlong's future army will be even more difficult, he couldn't help reminding:

"Think about it, kid, once you take this path, there is no chance of turning back!"

"Li Yunlong, head of the new second regiment! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Looking directly at the firm eyes of his favorite general, the brigade commander patted the opponent's shoulder heavily, and then said seriously:

"I knew you would choose this way, and I guessed correctly. After the Hundred Regiments Battle is over, you can start making preparations."

"At that time, the deputy chief of staff will give you a standard. If someone in your new second regiment fails to meet the standard, you can choose someone from our 129th division, and most departments will cooperate with you."

"And you, Li Yunlong, will also become a pioneer on this road. Both the people and the army will always remember you."

　If Lao Li's character attributes can appear in the system, it must be organization expert, engineer commander, infantry commander, mountain expert, woodland ranger, and jungle rat.

　　There will definitely be special operations commanders, paratroopers, all-out planners, fierce attackers, masters of attack, charismatic
