Chapter 138: Damn Tactical Vests! (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
About the Type 91 carrying device, solemn and love and hate.
I love it because it is handsome, and this thing includes the 1st Division in the first few units equipped by the whole army, so of course it is very handsome to wear out.
I hate that this thing only solves the problem of PLA's carrying equipment, but the practicality makes people really want to jump and scold their mothers.
On the second day of the equipment, all the staff went cross-country for five kilometers, and they almost went crazy halfway through the solemn run.
Because the full set of Type 91 carrying gear is composed of three parts: a combat vest, a tactical training bag and a backpack. Among them, soldiers use combat vests the most, because if they are off-road with light equipment, they are only required to wear combat vests, which contain 4 Type 81-1 automatic rifle magazines, 1 water bottle filled with water, 4 standard grenade trainer rounds, and then carry a gas mask and an automatic rifle.
The most devastating thing about this so-called tactical vest is that when it is used, you must first wear a combat vest, buckle the chest buckle in front, and then use the elastic adjustment ropes on both sides to adjust the chest circumference, and use the shoulder straps to adjust the length.
Although the old-fashioned Type 56 elastic belt does not integrate functions such as a water bottle sleeve and a grenade bag, it is directly tied with a rope behind the back after wearing.
The biggest flaw of the Type 91 tactical vest is that the two chest buckles in the front do not have any telescopic function, nor do they have a locking function at all, and they are completely adjusted by the telescopic straps on the side of the tactical vest.
The tie is loose, and the chest buckle is easy to fall off; If it is tied too tightly, the tactical vest can tie a person's chest cavity like a diamond ring on the head of the monkey, making people completely unable to breathe and affecting their running speed.
During the five-kilometer cross-country that morning, the stately tactical vest buckles fell off more than once, and he had to free up a hand to refasten them.
However, the buckle, which had no locking function and no elasticity, came loose again in less than a few minutes......
After countless times of fastening-loosening-tightening-loosening-loosening, solemn and even mad enough to give up his efforts, and swayed on his body with this tactical vest that looked awesome but had serious flaws in its actual use value.
Since it can't be fastened, it's better to let it fly freely.
Alas, this is an even worse option.
A tactical vest with four automatic rifle magazines and four trainer grenades and a water bottle full of water is unclasped over a soldier's body, as if he were wearing a jacket with its own horse-killing function - you run, the water bottle and magazine, and the grenade are responsible for the full-body thrashing massage, making you want to die, and you can even hear the water bottle hitting your tail keel and the grenade hitting your hip bone, with the occasional clip slapping on the ribs.
It was a hellish song that made Majest maddened.
Of course, Yan Yan is not the only one who has problems.
For the entire five-kilometer trip that morning, the teams that usually only bounced on running for the fastest time were all in disarray.
Everyone danced as they ran, and in the end, some people couldn't even stand the damn tactical vest at all, so they had to take it off and put it directly on their shoulders and tie it up with an automatic rifle - although the shoulder was an old sin, at least it was much better than a full-body horse massage.
Teach the brigade at the finish of the five-kilometer cross-country.
Squadron Leader Zhou Huping looked at the stopwatch several times, and saw his trainees appear on the dirt road near the No. 1 high ground in the distance.
He turned back to the vice-captain Peng Chenghong and said, "What's wrong, how did you do it today, the time of the whole team is at least a minute slower than usual." ”
Peng Chenghong was also puzzled, shook his head and said: "Today is the first time to distribute carrying equipment, why are the results so bad." ”
In the opinion of the two squadron commanders and deputy commanders, shouldn't the new equipment of the Type 91 carrying gear make the trainees more comfortable and run more freely?
When all the students returned to the finish line, Zhou Huping asked, and then he knew what the problem was.
In the morning, the cadets went out for training, and all the district captains went to the brigade to attend the meeting.
There is only one content of the meeting, how to use the new carrying device, and what problems exist in the new carrying device.
The meeting was discussed and discussed, and everyone could only come to one conclusion.
Since it is distributed above, it is naturally necessary to use it, and if you don't use it, it will not meet the requirements of the superiors and will be criticized.
But is it really useful, isn't it difficult for a strong man?
The problems were quickly collected and sent to the division headquarters.
As for the result?
Nobody knows.
It takes time to develop a new type of carrying device, and it is estimated that it will take some time for the facelift to come down.
Maybe it's a year, maybe it's two years, no one can be sure.
Since it is not accurate, and the troops have strict regulations that they cannot destroy equipment for modification, they can only wait.
That's the end of the question?
Of course not!
You know, the smartest people in the world are the Chinese, and the most resilient and most capable army to solve difficulties is the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
This is really not bragging.
The problems that arose in the morning, by noon, the brigade had not yet made a decision, and the entire brigade did not know who had created the invention first, and an absolutely awesome modification method immediately circulated among all the cadets and the squad leader.
In the teaching brigade, there is a tradition of fine-tuning and even modifying all equipment and even clothing.
It is impossible to know when this tradition began, but it may be a glorious tradition passed down from generation to generation by the veterans of the 1st Division.
Moreover, this tradition is inseparable from a key place, the camp shop.
Every military barracks has a small barracks shop, which is usually run by the families of military officers, and some are run by local people.
The shops that are opened inside the camp are generally the shops of military dependents, while those that are opened on the edge of the camp are the shops of local people.
In addition to daily necessities, these small shops also provide alcohol, tobacco and food. It was definitely a magical place, a gas station for every soldier, and it had an incomparably lofty status.
For example, the small shop of the teaching brigade was opened by the family of a volunteer soldier.
The trainees of the teaching brigade train hard, and the amount of training every day has reached an astonishing level, and it is difficult to maintain enough calories even if it is five dishes and one soup just by relying on an ordinary three-meal meal a day.
Then, the small store becomes a source of calorie supplementation.
What kind of domestic milk powder, what moon cakes......
That's right, mooncakes.
Moon cakes, before coming to the teaching team, Zhuang Yan never thought that they would be sold all year round.
But in the teaching team, this kind of homemade mooncakes with red bean paste are the most popular in the camp shop. If you are a local person, you may be tired of eating moon cakes and eating a few, but for those students with the most training intensity, red bean moon cakes for five cents a piece are simply the best choice to supplement physical energy and fill the amount of food.
Milk powder and moon cakes have become the most eaten and most missed food in the six-month hellish training of the teaching brigade.
The solution to the problem of wearing defects in the Type 91 carrying gear tactical vest is to teach the small shop owners in the battalion camp.
This can also be regarded as Chinese-style military wisdom.
