This is the reason why Zheng Mingchuan called Ma Xiaotao over, in the past, if he received a distress signal, Zheng Mingchuan would immediately order the special combat team members to take a helicopter to the sea area where the incident occurred to hijack the pirates who tried to hold the merchant ship hostage.

However, in the face of the sandstorm blocking the flight path, if the helicopter rushes in, it is very likely that the plane will be destroyed and people will die.

At that time, not only the best helicopter pilot in front of the whole formation will be sacrificed in the sandstorm, but even several special combat personnel on the helicopter will also be sacrificed inside.

And if the sandstorm passes, although the helicopter has the conditions to fly, but by that time, the merchant ship has long been held hostage by these pirates, and even the entire merchant ship will be driven away by the pirates.

Faced with such a situation, Zheng Mingchuan, who had no choice, could only call Ma Xiaotao in person and ask Ma Xiaotao's opinion.

If Ma Xiaotao was unwilling to take the risk of flying a helicopter, Zheng Mingchuan and even everyone would not blame him. Zheng Mingchuan will also let the members of the joint operations team drive the speedboat to the area where the incident occurred as soon as possible, but by that time, the members of the joint operations team will probably need to regain control of the merchant ship from the hands of the pirates and rescue the crew of the merchant ship.

"Commander, although it is the first time for me to carry out an escort operation under your leadership, but it has been so long since the operation started, and I don't believe that you don't know my temper!"

Faced with such a choice, Ma Xiaotao, who smiled slightly, said, and his expression was extremely firm after making a choice.

"In that case, go ahead and prepare immediately, and I will immediately send the forecast of the storm and the location of the distress ship to your helicopter!" Zheng Mingchuan, who heard this, also said directly.

"Although I don't need to go directly through the sandstorm in this operation, I need to pass through the edge of the sandstorm, and I don't know if I can get to the scene of the incident in the first place. If a merchant ship is held hostage by pirates, it may not be possible to rescue the merchant ship by relying on special operators in helicopters. Therefore. I hope that when I move, in addition to the four special combat personnel who will follow me around the sandstorm, there will also be a group of special combat personnel who will quickly rush to the area where the incident occurred in a speedboat. If the pirates do not have control of the merchant ship by the time they arrive, I will immediately drive the pirates away. If the pirates have taken control of the entire merchant ship, I will need the help of those special combat personnel to cooperate with each other to rescue the merchant ship!" Ma Xiaotao added.

After hearing this, Zheng Mingchuan, who was stunned for a moment, took a deep look at Ma Xiaotao, and then said: "I asked the joint operations team to cooperate with your actions, except for the team members who boarded your helicopter, the rest of the team members all rushed to the area where the incident occurred by speedboat." On the side of the escort formation, there is Wu Fan in the platoon, so there is no need to worry about its safety!"

"If, by the time you arrive, the pirates do control the entire merchant ship, there is a good chance that the pirates will take hostages and force you to leave. In such a situation, it is imperative not to launch a strong attack. Wait until the rest of the joint operations team arrives before starting the operation. The specific plan of action is up to you. With them, there shouldn't be any problems with the action!" Zheng Mingchuan finally said.

Regarding what Ma Xiaotao said just now, the reason why Zheng Mingchuan looked at the other party for a long time was because he heard another flavor from it. That is, if the helicopter is affected by the sandstorm and crashes in the ocean while flying along the edge of the sandstorm. Ma Xiaotao would not be able to lead a few special combat team members on the plane to carry out the task of driving away the pirates, and the final task would be handed over to the members of the joint operations team who were driving the speedboat.

The plan that Ma Xiaotao just said, in Zheng Mingchuan's heart, is more like a guarantee, or a remedy.

However, even so, Zheng Mingchuan still agreed to Ma Xiaotao's plan. Of course, Zheng Mingchuan didn't want to do this in his heart, let alone see that kind of result.

But Zheng Mingchuan, who had no choice, could only choose this most secure way and rush to the sea area where the incident occurred as soon as possible to rescue the merchant ship.

"I'm ready to go!"

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao nodded, and after saluting Zheng Mingchuan, he walked out of the headquarters and went to prepare.

"Contact the joint operations team, tell them the general situation and tasks, and let them all be fully armed, and rush to the deck within five minutes, ready to carry out the mission of rescuing the merchant ship!" Looking at Ma Xiaotao's back, Zheng Mingchuan, who had a serious expression, opened his mouth and ordered.

"Understood!"

After hearing this, a signal soldier quickly picked up the phone, and then quickly contacted the joint operations team that had finally taken a break.

After receiving the order to act, the joint combat team of course finished putting on its equipment as quickly as possible, and then quickly rushed to the deck.

When the joint operations team arrived on the deck, Ma Xiaotao, who was holding a flying helmet, was already standing next to the helicopter, quietly watching the thirteen team members walking towards him.

"I believe you all understand the situation, I need four team members to follow me around the sandstorm, and the rest of the team members will drive the speedboat and rush to the sea area where the incident occurred!" Looking at the members of the joint operations team in front of him, Ma Xiaotao, who looked extremely indifferent, said, "Have you selected the personnel?"

After hearing this, the joint operations team immediately stood up, and it was Jiang Chen who was the captain who took the lead. Among the remaining three team members, one is the Nalan Army, and the other two are members of the Sea Eagle Team, but there is no Lu Haiyang.

At this time, Lu Haiyang looked at the four people who stood up, his expression was a little complicated, some blamed, some remorseful, some unwilling, and of course, more worried.

After contacting the joint operations team, the signal corpsman told them the details of the operation and the plan as quickly as possible. Before boarding the deck, the joint operations team had already selected four members of the helicopter in the shortest possible time.

When it came to knowing that four members of the team were needed to fly in a helicopter over a dangerous sandstorm area, anyone on the joint operations team knew the danger, but everyone wanted to be one of those quarters.

However, the harsh reality lies here. Under Jiang Chen's proposal, one leader was definitely needed among these four people, and the leader must be the captain or deputy leader of the joint operations team.

In other words, among the four people, one must be selected from Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang to command this operation.

As for the remaining three people, Jiang Chen also proposed that if Jiang Chen himself was one of the four people, the tactical team of the Dragon Tooth Brigade would need to select one more, and the remaining two places would be chosen by the Sea Eagle Squad, of course it couldn't be Lu Haiyang.

In this way, the four places, the tactical team and the sea eagle team are each divided into two, which is also very fair.

Jiang Chen's proposal was quickly agreed by everyone. As for the most critical candidate, that is, the choice of the leader, Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang finally decided the winner by throwing coins, and the final result was very obvious.

After Jiang Chen was selected, the remaining three personnel were also quickly selected, Jiang Chen directly selected the Nalan Army domineeringly, and Lu Haiyang, who was a little angry, also directly selected two team members.

"Without further ado, let's get started!"

After seeing Jiang Chen and the four of them stand up, Ma Xiaotao, who nodded, did not hesitate, and he also sat directly in the helicopter cab with a helmet.

Soon, Jiang Chen and the four of them also sat directly in the helicopter, and the remaining nine team members, under the leadership of Lu Haiyang, sat in the two speedboats that had been arranged long ago, and the sea eagle team and the tactical team were each responsible for one speedboat.

"Next time, if there is such a situation, I must vote!"

Looking at the helicopter slowly rising into the air, Lu Haiyang, whose eyes were very determined, spoke.

Soon, after the helicopter departed, the two speedboats also set off quickly, and then according to the position provided by the commander, they quickly headed towards the area where the incident occurred. However, the faster helicopter, in the blink of an eye, turned into a small black dot in the hearts of Lu Haiyang and the others.

This time, although it is much safer to take a speedboat, all the members of the joint operations team want to sit on that helicopter, if nothing else, just because they are soldiers of Huaxia Country!

On the helicopter, Ma Xiaotao, who was driving the helicopter, felt the somewhat dull atmosphere behind him, and he said with headphones: "Don't be so nervous, it's not the first time I've performed such a mission, although it's very dangerous, but it's not without a chance to escape!"

"Brother, is it really good for you to say that?"

After hearing this, Nalan Jun, who was behind, asked with a slightly darkened face.

Nalan Jun, who was originally full of confidence in Ma Xiaotao, the best helicopter pilot in the whole formation, suddenly became uncalm in his heart after listening to Ma Xiaotao's words.

"I'm telling the truth, if the helicopter gets out of control, I'll control the helicopter as much as possible, you can jump directly into the sea, and then wait for your team to rescue you!" Ma Xiaotao, who was very natural, said.

"But what if I want to jump right now?"

Seeing this, Nalan Jun asked, because just in front of the helicopter, everyone had already seen that a huge sandstorm was blocking the helicopter like an insurmountable wall.

Moreover, the sandstorm is moving rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, probably from south to north.

At this time, as the helicopter slowly approached, everyone in the helicopter could clearly feel that sand and dust began to appear in the surrounding air outside the helicopter.

The sky also changed color, and the distant sun gradually turned an egg yellow, a sign that the helicopter had entered the sandstorm area.
