Chapter 1327: Mercenary Battlefield
"How's the condition of the team?" the silver wolf asked Lin Rui as he walked out of the room. %
"No problem. It's just that Boss Long is still a little worried, and most of the team members don't know his actual situation. It's understandable to be worried. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"I'll take care of the team, and I'll do the rest. The silver wolf patted him on the shoulder. "It's just that I didn't expect to let you go out again so soon, but I can't help it, this mission is too important. Zhao Jianfei is responsible for the protection of Mr. Long, and Group B and Group C are being rebuilt, so you can only take on the heavy responsibility. ”
"I understand. Lin Rui nodded.
Two helicopters landed on the helipad on the roof of the hospital, but instead of the hospital's rescue helicopters, two camouflage military helicopters. Several heavily armed U.S. soldiers came down and called over the walkie-talkie as they ran over and opened the door to the rooftop of the building.
"Hurry up, guys, the helicopter didn't turn off, we only have ten minutes. As required by the mission, we must get you to the nearest air base on time. The American GI yelled at the lazy mercenaries.
"Special Aviation Regiment? from the third battalion, hehe. Crazy Horse looked at the armband on the American soldier and sneered disdainfully.
The 160th Operational Battalion of the 3rd Special Aviation Regiment, deployed at Army Air Force Base Hunter in Georgia, is primarily tasked with rapid operational deployment and operational needs in conjunction with the 75th Ranger Regiment of the U.S. Army. F and G companies were stationed at the Fort Lewis base near Washington, D.C., and because their predecessors had part of the National Guard's background, they were also engaged in homeland security operations that complemented the National Guard.
And Crazy Horse, a legitimate army special forces officer, absolutely looks down on the National Guard, which is similar to the militia, so he has a mocking attitude towards them.
"Alright, let's go talk about it right away. Lin Rui pushed him, lest he talk nonsense with these US soldiers again.
After boarding, the American GI looked at them and said to him, "We're pressed for time, and in an hour, we'll be landing at Fort Lewis." There, you will take a transport plane to your destination. Do you have any questions?"
"A little. Sergei raised his hand and muttered, "Are there any free drinks on this flight? I mean vodka, or whiskey." The other mercenaries laughed too.
"It's not funny, bro. The American soldier said with a straight face, "Hey, take the cigarette off your hand, are you trying to provoke me?"
Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, young man." You are not his brother, and you will not want to be his brother. He's a Russian. In addition, he provokes everyone. Don't give him wine, because when a Russian gets drunk, you can't stop him from provoking anyone. ”
"Oh, Boss, it's a little too cruel for you to say that. I'm working for the Pentagon now, can't I enjoy labor rights?" Sergei said with a grin.
"That's right, we have the right to claim benefits, and we can't restrict our freedom to smoke outside of work, that's our right. Snakeeye shrugged as he smoked his mouth.
The American soldier had no choice but to turn around and mutter, "God, this is a bunch of crazy people." ”
"Just get used to it, they're mercenaries, it's something that only a madman would do. The other companion whispered, "Forget it, don't bother with them." We just need to do our job. ”
It was easy to send the gang to the Lewisburg base, and they also stirred up a miasma in the helicopter.
Joint Base Lewis-McCord is located in the Pacific Northwest, in Puget Sound, Washington. The joint base was formed in January 2010 by the merger of the U.S. Army Base Lewis and the U.S. Mahkod Air Force Base.
It is a large joint base with a total population of 200,000 people, including 27,000 active-duty military personnel, 52,486 family members, 10,000 non-active civilian personnel and 120,000 retirees. The base serves as a training and mobilization center for all branches of the armed forces and is home to units such as the 1st Special Forces Group, the 75th Ranger Regiment, the 6th Gendarmerie Group, the 189th Infantry Brigade, the 404th Army Field Support Brigade, and others.
Its strategic location provides air forces with the ability to conduct operational and humanitarian airlifts, and the C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft can reach any location on Earth from Joint Base Lewis-McCord.
After getting off the helicopter, Lin Rui and others met a major under the leadership of these American troops. After further confirmation of the mission objectives, they were scheduled to board the aircraft.
The C-17A transport aircraft combines strategic and tactical airlift capabilities. The dimensions in the cargo compartment are large. According to the requirement of being able to arrange six trucks in two rows in the cargo hold, the width of the cargo hold is 5.49 meters, the length is 26.82 meters, and the height is 4.11 meters. The jeep can be 3 alongside each other, and 3 AH-64 helicopter gunships can also be transported. All kinds of vehicles that are transported by air can be driven directly into the cabin.
Because of this mission, Lin Rui and others must be equipped with vehicles. Therefore, such a transport aircraft with the ability to airdrop vehicles is very necessary.
After boarding the transport plane, a U.S. military officer was responsible for guiding them.
"For this mission, three Humvee vehicles have been prepared for you as required, as well as weapons and equipment that can be equipped with two field platoons as standard. There were not the slightest problems with firepower, but the defense was slightly insufficient. In Africa, where rockets are flying everywhere, you'd better be careful. ”
"So many supplies?" Lin Rui frowned as he looked at the metal boxes and the vehicles parked in the cargo hold.
"No way, given the current situation in South Sudan, there is still your task. No one knows how long the search and rescue operation will last. And we can't give you any kind of assistance along the way. These weapons, ammunition, and other supplies must be airdropped all at once. "It's a little much, but it's better than being left alone." ”
"Okay. Lin Rui nodded, "That's right." However, I think it would be better for us to organize on the spot and set up a relatively hidden temporary supply point after we have completed the airborne. We can't carry so much of the excess supplies in the car. ”
"Yes. "In addition, when you are airborne, we will cut off all direct contact with you." This is also for the sake of security and confidentiality, and I hope you can understand. ”
"I know too well. It means transporting us to our destination, throwing us off the plane, and finally leaving us to fend for ourselves. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "These are all old routines, and there is nothing new at all." ”
The Major coughed dryly, "I know it may be embarrassing, but that's our mission, to get you there, and then back. ”
"Alright. Lin Rui waved his hand. "Call me when you get to the designated location, I'll get some sleep first. ”>
