Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 205 Carrying 100 Kilograms! The Strongest Team Support (Please Subscribe)

Tuo Yonggang is an old A-class paratrooper who has done more parachute jumps than special forces soldiers. He knows best the connection between parachuting and carrying heavy loads.

The weight you carry when skydiving is like adding weight in weightlifting.

Don't be fooled by its large base weight, which can easily reach 100 or 200 kilograms, the weight added is only one or two kilograms at a time.

For every kilogram of added weight during a skydive, the risk of landing increases.

That's why Tuoyong was so conflicted just now, not knowing how to match his personal supplies to the most suitable equipment for this battle.

Wu Zhe's skydiving skills are far from excellent, and he is much worse than Tuo Yonggang.

Skydiving is still only at the stage of knowing how to do it.

After all, Wu Zhe was a Marine before joining the Old A unit, and his training included a lot of helicopter rappelling and amphibious assault operations.

I've never actually done skydiving before; I only really learned it properly at Old A.

Wu Zhe's skydiving ability is far inferior to Tuo Yonggang's, and he is even more conflicted about the weight. After making a list and roughly estimating the weight, his head starts buzzing.

"Skydiving has always been a weakness for the Ace of Spades. There's no way to learn it quickly, which is really a headache. After this competition, I'll definitely have to cram for skydiving when I get back."

Jackie Chan felt helpless; there was no point in complaining about the problem, so he could only try to find a solution.

"I think we should do this..."

Jackie Chan thought for a while and offered a solution: "Just bring four fully loaded magazines as spares, plus the magazines that are mounted on the gun, for a total of five."

It's enough for a single strategic point operation; the rest can be replaced with shotguns.

They could reload and replenish their ammunition during lulls in the fighting, and that would be enough in a cycle. If they could capture spoils from the Red Army, that would be even better.

This frees up 10 magazines, saving not only a lot of space but also two kilograms of weight.

For drinking water, bring 1 liter for emergencies. The rest, a pack of toner and a piece of cotton cloth, will be enough for keeping pure water in the wild. This will save you at least 1 kilogram.

Other items include camouflage clothing for assault troops, daggers and grenades for snipers, and breaching spikes for firepower breaching. Optimizing all non-essential items should save about two kilograms.

Adding up all the space saved, we should be able to free up about 5 kilograms.

Then, increasing the maximum load capacity to 45 kg perfectly fills the 10 kg gap, ensuring basic supplies of ammunition and provisions.

Jackie Chan's suggestion was already the limit of compression, making the maximum configuration within the minimum risk.

"It seems like this is the only way. Adding 5 kilograms of weight to the skydive makes it quite difficult, but given our situation, there's no better option."

Tuo Yonggang smiled wryly and began to modify his own configuration list.

"Isn't this equipment set too extreme? Carrying only four magazines for operations, if you encounter a battle in the wild, a round of Hellfire or PEEL will empty the magazines. Reloading on the spot is too risky and passive."

Wu Zhe is the most resourceful member of the Ace of Spades Commando Team, second only to Long Zai.

He was very thoughtful!

In conventional close-quarters combat at strategic points, or close-quarters indoor battles between the two sides, four magazines are indeed sufficient if used sparingly.

However, this doesn't work in open field encounters, as open field encounters require suppressive fire.

If you don't fight back, you'll get attacked.

Ammunition is consumed very quickly. Four magazines with 120 rounds of ammunition may sound like a lot, but in reality, full firepower won't last more than a few minutes.

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'm the team's backup. If anything unexpected happens, just get emergency supplies from me."

If anyone else had said that, Wu Zhe would have laughed and said he was bragging, but since it was Jackie Chan who said it, Wu Zhe felt particularly at ease.

Jackie Chan's ability to carry heavy loads and his personal skills are as steady as Mount Tai, enough to keep anyone in check.

"That's right. And with Captain, you're there to back you up. With your abilities, I wouldn't be surprised if you carried 44 magazines, let alone 14, because you're practically not human, haha."

Wu Zhe spoke in a joking tone, but everyone knew he was telling the truth.

The 44 magazines weigh only a little over 20 kilograms. For Jackie Chan, who previously carried over 80 kilograms of equipment while running all over the mountains and fields during border anti-drug operations, it was really not a big deal.

At that time, the maximum load-bearing capacity of a single military high-altitude parachute could reach 240 kilograms.

Even after accounting for Jackie Chan's 145 kg weight, he can still carry up to 95 kg of supplies during a parachute jump, which does not exceed his limit.

after all.

Wu Zhe and others knew about Jackie Chan's physical examination results. Jackie Chan's bone strength was four times that of an ordinary person, and his muscle strength was also four times that of an ordinary person.

Tuo Yonggang can parachute with a load of 40 kilograms, which ensures that his feet are unlikely to be injured by the impact of landing.

Jackie Chan's body structure is 4 times stronger than Tuo Yonggang's, and his strength is more than 6 times stronger.

In theory, Jackie Chan can carry 160 kilograms. As long as his posture and movements are correct when landing, and he chooses a suitable grassy area, he can land safely.

Basically, the impact of walking will not cause your feet to be unable to withstand the force and get injured.

Wu Zhe was not a professional paratrooper, but he felt that Jackie Chan's physical abilities were superhuman. He believed that Jackie Chan could easily do things that they could not.

Tuo Yonggang, a professional paratrooper, has a different perspective.

He felt there was a big problem here.

He interjected, "Captain, I remember you weren't a paratrooper, you came from an armored infantry regiment, right? You haven't parachuted many times."

I know you are in excellent physical condition; we can't compare to you at all.

Honestly, I don't recommend carrying too much weight. After all, you haven't done many skydivings yet. Once you've done more, you'll find that skydiving isn't as simple as you think.

Every extra kilogram of weight will affect the exit maneuver, the attitude in the air, and the landing attitude, which are all very critical operations.

If you're unlucky, for example, you might encounter turbulence during exiting the capsule or gusts during landing.

Even if you are very skilled at opening your parachute and landing, it may still be greatly affected by this.

A lighter load gives you more room for error, while a heavier load has a greater impact from mistakes.

If you break a bone while walking, or even sprain your ankle or back, then the rest of the assessment will basically be for nothing.

You're our captain, our core player. Without you, I really don't have the confidence to beat them.

Tuo Yonggang's personality is on the bold and impulsive side. He is the type to act without thinking things through. Even though he has been trained in the Old A for so long and has matured a lot, his fighting style is still too straightforward.

He was a "reckless man" who often acted without considering the consequences.

But at this moment, he stepped forward to advise Jackie Chan, and gave him a detailed analysis of the pros and cons, strongly advising Jackie Chan not to be too greedy.

It's clear that he genuinely cares about Jackie Chan.

If Jackie Chan were a native of this world, he would definitely heed the advice of professional paratrooper Tuo Yonggang and not risk his life by being reckless.

However, Jackie Chan, as a veteran time traveler, may not have skydived many times in this life, but he skydived more than 1000 times in his previous life.

As a veteran of the Thousand Jumps.

Jackie Chan is very experienced.

In his previous life, Jackie Chan was only 1.81 meters tall and weighed only 80 kilograms. His body was not as abnormal as it is now. He once carried up to 60 kilograms when skydiving.

Now that he has a physique four times that of an average person, Jackie Chan has absolutely no worries.

He had already thought it through.

As the team's ultimate backup and strongest support in history, Jackie Chan is prepared to carry the full weight for this skydive, preparing supplies with a load of 100 kilograms.

of course.

Jackie Chan won't say it now, lest these competitive guys in the commando team follow suit and end up crippled when they land.

There's no need to say it now; it's completely meaningless.

Just do it directly.

So when faced with Tuo Yonggang's "kind advice," Jackie Chan did not refute it, nor did he directly agree to Tuo Yonggang not to take any risks.

Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "I'll handle things myself, you don't need to worry about it."

Just focus on making your personal list. Ideally, it should include how many packs of field rations you should bring and what kind they are. The more detailed the list, the better.

My personal suggestion is that you bring high-calorie items, such as pure chocolate and dried beef.

"You must submit the completed list to me by 5 p.m. today. I will then give it to the company commander so that the exercise department can allocate supplies to you according to the list."

After giving his instructions, Long left the dormitory and then found the remaining three team members.

He gave Wu Liuyi, Xu Sanduo, and Yang Songlin instructions on equipment allocation, which was the same approach he had just discussed with Tuo Yonggang and Wu Zhe.

The three people confessed to the same thing.

Bring all the necessary equipment for combat positions, and save on general equipment where possible.

For example, logistics medics should carry more medical supplies, mainly those needed for survival in the wild, and carry as few combat first aid items as possible.

After all, it's just a competitive match; there won't be any real gunfire or injuries on the battlefield, so there's no point in bringing them.

It's a complete waste of resources!

Instead of carrying extra weight, it's better to bring more food and drinks, and treat yourself as a mobile supply station, providing support when the team needs it.

After explaining things to the five team members, Jackie Chan returned to his dormitory and started making a list for himself.

As a gunner and commander, Jackie Chan needs to carry an 8-kilogram individual high-frequency radio and a set of equipment required for gunners.

A basic set of equipment is removed, including the Type 95 squad automatic weapon, which weighs 5 kilograms along with the drum magazine.

Jackie Chan's load has exceeded 40 kilograms.

Plus a 10-kilogram parachute pack...

Even without counting ammunition and supplies, Jackie Chan's load already reached 50 kilograms.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan is a "non-human entity".

He set a weight limit of 100 kilograms for himself, which was already far beyond the limits for other members, but Jackie Chan still had 50 kilograms to spare.

This burden was enough to allow him to do whatever he wanted.

You may choose to bring any supplies.
