"The story of "Records of the Grand Historian. The Annals of the Five Emperors" was recorded in which 'Shun's hand holding a round hat that shrouded the sun and jumped off the top of the fired granary and landed safely. [This article comes from]... This is the earliest record of parachuting in history."

"In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, it was said that Zhu Yuanzhang built the 'Meritorious Officials Building' and wanted to kill all the meritorious officials. During the banquet, the military advisor Liu Bowen knew that there was a change. He took the excuse to leave the banquet, opened an umbrella he brought in in advance, jumped off the building, escaped safely, and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Although this legend is not seen in historical books, in the Ming Dynasty, parachuting has indeed become a folk acrobatic."

"In 1628, in an Italian prison, there was a prisoner named Laven. He had been planning to escape several times, but he had no choice but to do so, because not only the police were very strict, but the prison wall was several meters high. If he jumped from it, he would be disabled even if he jumped. However, once, relatives and friends sent him an umbrella while visiting the prison, which made him suddenly understand. He secretly tied one end of a thin rope to the umbrella bone of the umbrella and held the other end in his hand. On a dark and windy night, Laven avoided the guard, climbed up the high wall, and jumped down with the umbrella, and fell to the ground without any damage."

"In 1785, France's Berangshal was inspired by this adventure to escape from prison, transported the dog and heavy objects into the air, and then descended by parachute to succeed."

"In 1797, Gallein, France, took a balloon and jumped to the sky and successfully used his parachute to jump under his parachute. This was the first real parachute."

"Later, during World War I, two soldiers jumped off the wings of a biplane and carried some explosives to destroy the enemy's warehouse, which caused a sensation at the time."

"In 1927, the Soviet army used transport aircraft to drop air forces in Central Asia and wiped out rebels such as Batuma Red bandits in one fell swoop. This was the first real airborne war that appeared. In 1930, the Soviet airborne formally established the world's first formal paratrooper unit. This was also the world's first airborne detachment. Three years later, the Soviet Union held an air show in Moscow, and 10,000 spectators watched 46 paratroopers jumped out of two large bombers - this was the world record at that time. The Soviets also used a large parachute to throw a small combat tank. Although the tank could not be started after landing and had to be dragged out of the exercise field, it left a deep impression on the foreign observers who watched the scene. Inspired by this, European and American countries began to establish their own airborne units..."

"The magical weapon descends from the sky!... The super-motorization ability of the airborne forces makes the cavalry quick and fierce, and the motorized forces galloping. The combat principles that have been used for a long time, such as the military importance of the highland, the use of obstacles, the use of reserves, the coordination of supporting firepower, flanking cover, and the use of feints and surprise attacks, have been placed in a completely different position. The wide rivers, mountains with high penetration into clouds, and the difficult rainforests are no longer a problem, because there is always an exposed sky above our heads."

"China has never had airborne troops before!"

"But now it's there."

"It's you."

Chongqing. Jiulongpo Airport.

Looking at the three hundred soldiers in front of him lined up neatly, with parachutes on his back and fully armed soldiers, Qin Wei suddenly felt his eyes a little wet:

"Actually... I'm not proud of you... I can't bear to leave."

"You are the first paratrooper in China. Of course, you are not pure now. What I mean, you should be seeds, take root and sprout, and grow vigorously. Not only do you have to train yourself, but you also have to develop the airborne troops on the land of China. But you have only been training for less than a week and have to go out to carry out the mission. A life-and-death mission... A truly qualified paratrooper often needs a few years of training, from the ground to the sky, step by step, and there are almost no shortcuts to go. But you jumped down from the sky from the beginning... According to reasoning, paratroopers have the minimum casualty rate, 70%! Do you know what this means?"

"It means that even if you can achieve the final victory and complete the combat mission, there will be no more than one hundred people left! This is the ideal result."

"...Okay, Commander Zhou is rolling his eyes. I won't say much. If I get angry, I will go to the military court!" Qin Wei pursed his lips and glanced at the "temporary paratrooper" in front of him again: "I will only ask you one thing now: Do you want to retreat? As long as you are willing to retreat, I promise that no one can do anything to you. In less than seven days, you have proved your value and proved that you are the most skilled soldiers in this era! Stay behind, you can not only save your lives, but also achieve better development in the future."

“…”

No one answered. Some paratroopers were still looking at Qin Wei with strange eyes, as if they were confused by his words.

"If you are willing to go, you can raise your hand. If you don't raise your hand, you just don't want to go." Qin Wei said again.

“…”

No one replied. However, in an instant, Qin Wei's arms were already covered with raised arms.

"uncle--"

He was so cautious, but this was the result. Qin Wei cursed, took a deep breath, put on sunglasses that had been prepared long ago to cover his already red eyes:

"Since you want to die so much, then go and die! I'm here to prepare a coffin for you! Don't worry, I will definitely hire the best master and the best coffin that is also made, which is thick and strong. I will also ask the Feng Shui master to choose a good cemetery for you to promote and make money in the next life... But I would like to ask another question, who is afraid? I can stay, I need a guard!"

“…”

Still no response.

“Check on the plane!”

Seeing Qin Wei turn around, Zhou Zhirou waved her hand and three hundred paratroopers began to board the twenty bombers that had been prepared long ago.

************************************************************

"Commander, I still can't break out."

Under the city of Nanchang.

As soon as the guns and cannons stopped, Shiro Inaba rushed into Okamura's command post. He was covered in mud and blood, looking quite embarrassed in front of Okamura's Neji, who was still wearing neat military uniforms. However, everyone in the command post, including Okamura's Neji, dared not look down on him. Because he was the commander of the 6th Division. This is the one with the most outstanding military achievements among the seventeen permanent corps in Japan. Except for the 2nd Division that Okamura once led, no other division can match.

"Are you still not able to break through?" Okamura Niji threw the pencil on the table with the map. "It seems that Chiang Kai-shek has made up his mind to keep us here."

"I have sent a call to Nanjing. Commander Nishio Suzuo asked us to persist. The 9th and 27th Divisions will soon be able to break through the blockade of the Chinese team and come to support it." Sadaichi Yoshimoto said.

"Soon soon?" Inaba Shiro's hand holding the sword couldn't help but shake, "How many times is it 'soon'? We have been trapped in Nanchang City for more than a week. The soldiers' guns are almost gone. He wants to give us a few 'soon'?"

"A few days ago, I saw the Chinese Air Force flying in the direction of the Nanxun Railway. It seems that they have blown up the railway... It is impossible for our reinforcements to come quickly." Okamura Nishi sighed: "This time it was my negligence. Without air supremacy, we forced the battle to launch... I'm sorry for everyone."

"Commander!?"

"Commander. If you can order the 101st and 106th Divisions to shrink the position and hand over the excess weapons and troops to the 6th Division, I promise to tear open the encirclement of the Chinese team!" Inaba Shiro shouted.

"That's right, the commander, has been fighting fiercely for nearly ten days, and the Chinese team must be more tired than us. If we can concentrate our troops to break through, they will definitely not be able to stop it." Sadaichi Yoshimoto also shouted.

"Where to break through?" Okamura Yanji looked up at his two subordinates, "In front is Nanchang City, Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying have two armies defending, and there are almost four brigades of air force; behind is Shunhui. The river channel is 30 meters wide, without the tools to cross the river, and the Chinese Air Force harassment. Are you planning to let the soldiers swim over?"

"Then are we waiting to die here?" Inaba Shiro shouted.

"Maybe waiting for death. Maybe... I will die before I will live." Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice.

"Commander, do you have a solution?" Shinichi Yoshimoto asked anxiously.

"Nanchang!" Okamura Nishi picked up the pencil again. He drew another circle on the outside of Nanchang City, which had been drawn a lot of circles. "Now all the focus is in Nanchang. As long as we can attack Nanchang, the purpose of launching the battle will be achieved. At that time, we can start street battles with the Zhongzhang Team, and we can no longer bear the almost unscrupulous bombing of the Chinese Air Force as we are now... And once the street battle begins, even if we have consumed most of our combat power, we can at least form a stalemate with the Zhongzhang Team in the city. In this way, we have enough time to wait for Commander Nishio Suzuya!"

"But you have also said that Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying deployed heavy troops in Nanchang City. We were unable to break through the opponent's defense line before, so how could we make it in now?" Yoshimoto asked.

"Just as Inaba Jun said, the Chinese are actually at the end of their strength. Especially the enemy troops in Nanchang City, they have endured countless frontal attacks from our main force. In the past ten days, through observation, I can be sure that even with the abilities of Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying, the two armies in the city have already consumed almost the same energy. But we still have a backup plan." Okamura Yanji looked at Inaba Shiro with a dark face, "The reserve team of the 6th Division has not been used, right?"

"There are only two squadrons!" Inaba Shiro said in a deep voice.

"The 101st Division also has two squadrons, and the 106th Division has half a cavalry corps... If all these forces are concentrated, it will be almost half a brigade's force." Okamura Yanji's face couldn't help but shake twice. After being besieged by the enemies of twenty divisions for ten days, he could still leave almost half a brigade's reserve team. He thought about it and thought about it. But when he thought about it, he really couldn't admire him.

"But if it was a sudden attack on Nanchang, the cavalry of the 106th Division would not work at all." Yoshimoto Satoshi said.

"The cavalry is off the horse, and it is the infantry." Okamura Nishi gritted his teeth, "and then gather all the artillery and shells left by us now... I don't believe that the 'Xue Tiger' in Nanchang City can still hold on."

"But if we launch an attack, Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying will definitely order the surrounding Chinese team to siege us as soon as possible." Inaba Shiro said: "If the troops left behind cannot support us and we cannot break into Nanchang City in time, then we..."

"So this is what it means to put it to death and then live." Okamura Nishi bit his back teeth, "Either die or live! Fight with his back and forth, fight here!"

"Hi!"
