Chapter 129 Forming an Air Assault Regiment
In March of this year, Prussia officially launched a missile research and development program, which is expected to be developed in about five years.
At present, all countries are still at the level of rocket artillery technology, but Prussia has begun to explore the field of missile technology.
At the same time, Geely Country also made a major breakthrough.
They have successfully developed their own radar system and are building their first radar station.
It is expected that the radar station will be put into operation at the end of this year, and Geely will become the second country in the world to own a radar.
This achievement makes Geely Country very proud, but at the same time it also realizes Yan Country's leading position in this regard.
The Geely Kingdom has always been confused by the mysterious equipment on the Yan Kingdom’s warships, and now finally understands that it is radar.
They originally thought that they were the first country to have radar, but they found that Yan Country had already mastered this technology.
However, Geely was not discouraged, but actively engaged in the research and development of radar technology.
Although Geely's radar technology is still in its infancy and cannot be used on warships for the time being.
But they believe that as long as they continue to work hard, it is only a matter of time before radar technology is integrated into warships.
In the future, Geely's naval strength will be greatly enhanced and become a force that cannot be ignored on the international stage.
And on a vast plain in the eastern province of Yan State.
At this time, an elite force was undergoing rigorous training.
This special force is the air assault regiment that Yan State had just formed. They shoulder important missions and responsibilities.
The main equipment of this air assault regiment includes the advanced Type 3 Yan fully automatic rifle, the powerful Type 2 Yan 40mm rocket launcher and the efficient Type 2 Yan general-purpose machine gun.
However, unlike regular troops, they were not equipped with heavy weapons.
Because its main task is to carry out surprise operations, quickly engage in combat and gain advantage.
The entire air assault regiment is huge, with nearly three thousand soldiers and is equipped with three hundred high-performance Sentinel general-purpose helicopters.
These helicopters not only have excellent maneuverability, but also can flexibly configure weapon systems according to combat requirements.
Some helicopters are equipped with heavy machine guns and general-purpose machine guns to provide powerful fire support.
Others are equipped with powerful rockets, carrying two eight-barrel 70mm rockets on each side, posing a huge threat to the enemy.
The cost of forming such an elite air assault regiment is extremely high.
At least 120 million Yan Guo currency is needed, equivalent to 60 million US dollars.
Such a huge investment makes it impossible to form such a force in large numbers.
But it is precisely this scarcity and professionalism that makes it a killer on the battlefield.
A row of general-purpose helicopters hovered steadily in the air less than one meter above the ground.
At this time, the squad leader shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, everyone, get moving!"
The soldiers who received the order jumped out of the plane one after another.
At the same time, don't forget to check the weapons and equipment you carry.
Each person was equipped with a pistol and a fully automatic rifle.
"Assemble! Assemble! Everyone assemble immediately!"
"I am really disappointed with your performance. This speed is simply not enough to meet my requirements."
"I hope that you can grow into a combat-ready team as soon as possible, serve the empire wholeheartedly, and be loyal to His Majesty!"
"Yes!"
Another group of helicopters hovered directly in the air at a height of several dozen meters, and then the general-purpose helicopter dropped two ropes.
At this time, a squad leader gave an order: "Move quickly!"
Some brave soldiers quickly fastened their safety belts and slid down the ropes quickly.
However, when two other soldiers saw the height of dozens of meters below, their legs went weak and they were too scared to move.
At this time, the squad leader came over and frowned at the two soldiers who didn't dare to jump down: "What's going on with you two?"
One of the soldiers showed a look of shame on his face and said with his head down: "Sergeant, I'm sorry... We are a little afraid of heights."
Upon hearing this, the squad leader was immediately furious: "How dare you sign up for the Air Assault Regiment if you have a fear of heights?"
"What do you think this place is?"
Another soldier quickly explained: "That's not the case, squad leader, we have always wanted to overcome this fear."
“We thought we could do it, but when we actually stood here, we realized that the fear was just too great.”
"That's enough! Stop making excuses for me! You two are complete losers!" The squad leader yelled, "Go back to where you came from!"
After all, these soldiers are elites carefully selected from various troops.
If they were driven back in disgrace like this, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of their original unit?
At this moment, a brave soldier finally overcame his fear.
He took a deep breath, quickly fastened his safety belt, squinted his eyes and slid down along the rope.
However, another soldier still shook his head: "Squad leader, I really can't do it..."
"I understand." The squad leader looked at him coldly and said, "If that's the case, get out of here right now."
"I don't want to see you again, because you are not worthy of being a qualified soldier."
The soldier nodded with a red face: "Yes."
At this moment, the general-purpose helicopter landed steadily on the ground.
The squad leader saw at a glance that the soldiers he taught were gathered in a circle, not knowing what they were doing.
"What are you doing? Gather now!" the squad leader shouted.
A soldier responded: "Sergeant, the last brother to come down seems to be a little strange."
The squad leader walked quickly to check the situation, and saw that the soldier who had squinted his eyes and slid down the plane along the rope was now foaming at the mouth and his body was twitching slightly.
"Send him to the infirmary, and once he recovers, let him leave the army directly." The squad leader gave the order coldly.
"Sergeant, isn't this too cruel?" a soldier couldn't help but ask.
"Is this ruthless? The battlefield is much more cruel than this."
"We in the air assault regiment only want the best of the best, not weaklings like this," the squad leader replied.
"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison.
Then, two soldiers quickly found a stretcher, carefully lifted the soldier with foam at the mouth onto the stretcher, and sent him to the infirmary.
Throughout the whole process, the squad leader maintained a serious expression without any mercy.
The entire air assault regiment faced similar problems.
These soldiers have always considered themselves the elite among the elite, but when they face the challenge of jumping from a high altitude, the fear deep in their hearts cannot be suppressed and emerges.
You know, descending along a rope is a relatively easy training method, but what is more challenging is skydiving from an altitude of hundreds or even thousands of meters.
If even a height of tens of meters is difficult to overcome, then wouldn't jumping from a height of hundreds or thousands of meters be seeking death?
It is worth mentioning that the total number of soldiers who signed up for the Air Assault Regiment exceeded 10,000, but in the end only 3,000 were able to stay.
This team is directly under the jurisdiction of the Air Force.
As time went on, the Air Assault Regiment continued to undergo rigorous training, day in and day out.
Through hard work and continuous training, they gradually overcame their fear and adapted to the environment of high-altitude work.
In the end, after layers of screening and elimination, only three thousand of the best and toughest soldiers remained and became part of this elite force.
