Chapter 962: Battlefield Analysis
Needless to say, the Black Hawk helicopter is no longer needed.
Among the helicopter clusters that arrived for the second time, three Chinooks were the most eye-catching.
The Chinook helicopter's peculiar layout of two rotors up to 20 meters in diameter, one at the bow and one at the end, has made it a photogenic star in many war movies.
At the same time, it is also one of the models with the highest load among the active helicopters of the US military. Not only is it capable of carrying an exaggerated number of passengers, but it is also capable of lifting close to ten tons of cargo at a time.
Three Chinooks, two Black Hawks.
This time, the Bagra airbase sent a combat contingent of almost a hundred people.
Not only did they carry soldiers armed to the teeth, but two Black Hawk helicopters also carried a number of advanced chemical analysis and testing equipment.
In the sky, four F16 fighters are on alert.
At the bottom of the canyon, soldiers paired up to guard an inspector in a white sealed suit, either holding instruments or carefully using tweezers to pick up suspicious substances in places where there was an abnormal reaction in the infrared spectrum.
As for the wreckage of the banshee flying machine near the end of the canyon, everyone tacitly agreed not to look at it or ask until they received the order.
Specimens of metal, bits of explosions, or drips of blood on the ground.
Any unnatural material that could be collected was carefully sampled and collected into a makeshift camp.
In the camp, a man in a camouflage training uniform, without a military cap and without a weapon, was holding his arms and saying nothing.
People came in and out of the temporary camp, but everyone who came in and out would subconsciously greet this energetic old man with a slick head, who was expressionless and didn't know what was going on in his heart.
On his shoulders, he carried two silver stars.
He is Waddington, the commander of the Bagla Air Force Base, and the epaulettes of the US military are somewhat different from those of the Chinese army, carrying two silver stars in the US army, with the rank of major general, and if he carries one, he is a brigadier general.
In the ranks of the U.S. military, if you can mix with the brigadier general, there is already smoke in the ancestral grave. In the navy, most of the captains of the famous 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are only one rank below the commodore colonel.
One can imagine how prominent the identity of this commander, who is now standing in the camp and carrying two stars on his shoulders.
I don't know how long it has been, Commander Waddington put away his serious expression and asked a non-commissioned officer who was busy next to him, "What is the situation collected here so far?"
The non-commissioned officer immediately straightened up, "Report to the commander, we have combed the entire canyon so far, and have not found a single person, whether we are or the enemy. ”
"However, there were many blood stains collected at the scene, and after analysis and comparison, we found that these blood stains matched the blood records reserved in the list of members who were previously stationed in the canyon. It can be determined that all the bloodstains were left by our personnel. ”
Commander Waddington asked in a deep voice, "Is there any blood stains on the enemy?"
"No... There was ......"
The non-commissioned officer's hesitation in itself means that the answer is somewhat incredible.
On the battlefield of Afghanistan, they had never encountered a situation in which many of their soldiers were bleeding and wounded, but the enemy was unscathed. Most of the enemy was cut down like wheat, and they suffered a slight loss.
It only takes a drop of blood for an enemy to be detected.
No matter how much the enemy clears the battlefield, there is no blood trail to hide. Because they can use the luminol reaction reagent to look for blood stains. This reagent is extremely sensitive to blood, even if it has been carefully wiped and blood stains have been left on the scene for half a year, it cannot escape the identification of this reagent.
There was only twenty minutes left for the enemy, and from the end of the battle to the cleaning of the battlefield, how could the enemy clean up the bloodstains, and besides, there was no trace of the soil being uprooted at the scene.
"What about weapons?" Commander Waddington continued.
"Several bombing sites at the scene were all left by our weapons after analysis. ”
Reporting this, the non-commissioned officer's expression became even more confused, "In addition, we have detected mercury in the blood stains of our personnel, which indicates that the enemy used mercury bullets. ”
"There were a total of 13 explosion points at the scene, 11 were grenade explosion points, and one was a tandem warhead rocket explosion point. ”
"In the other place, which was left by the enemy, we only extracted some of the material after the metal oxides had been fully combusted. The infrared spectrum here is also the most striking, according to the spectra, the temperature of the explosion site exceeded 3,500 degrees 20 minutes ago. ”
"It's hotter than the metal jet that our tandem warhead uses to penetrate the armor. ”
"That's... What kind of weapon is this?" A confused, even suspicious expression, appeared on Commander Waddington.
"Some kind of thermal weapon, the specific composition will take time to analyze. ”
Commander Waddington went on to ask for an analysis report on footprints, vehicle tracks.
As the contents of the report were read aloud, Commander Waddington's expression gradually changed from confusion to surprise and even ......
There is some fear.
All enemy footprints had been destroyed, but they could still analyze that there were not many enemies when the battle began.
This can be analyzed from the position of the commandos on their side, the angle of fire, the point of impact of bullets, and the point of explosion of grenades.
The number of enemies involved in the battle, up to a maximum of eight.
As for the number of personnel involved in cleaning up the battlefield after the incident, it is estimated that the number will be more than 20.
But the eight enemies in charge of the attack, unscathed, eliminated thirty special operators?
This is simply more unbelievable than an Afgan armed man who dealt with ten GIs with his bare hands.
There were no signs of enemy vehicles entering or leaving, but there were several traces at the scene that were suspected to be those of some kind of aircraft after landing.
Also, why did our fighters use only firearms, grenades, and rockets?
More advanced individual missiles, individual signal suppression equipment, and individual radars, have they all become decorations?
Where did the three Black Hawk helicopters that were originally parked in the camp, and those weapons and equipment, go?
What kind of weapons caused the leftover power generation and refueling trucks, all the electronic equipment inside them?
Commander Waddington vaguely understood that the battle a few hours ago was not a mutiny by his own special operators, but a group of extremely powerful and mysterious enemies.
"Is it the kind of enemy in ...... [Special Forces: Rise of the Cobra]?"
As soon as this thought arose, Commander Waddington scolded himself fiercely in his heart.
If there really is such a fighting force in the world, it must belong to the United States, not to any country.
In addition, the unscathed enemies reminded Commander Waddington of the [Ghost Armor] introduced by Behemoth Industries last year. If the enemy were wearing this armor, he might be able to do this.
The United States is not qualified to purchase ghost armor, and even the European purchasing countries have been put under various restrictions by the giant beast industry to prevent the outflow.
Of course, the armor is ultimately worn on people, and they are not qualified to purchase it, which does not prevent them from obtaining some ghost armor in small batches through special means for research. However, the rangers are naturally not qualified to equip special operations cannon fodder.
Is it ghost armor, which can be detected by the warheads fired by the special operators.
If it is, the warhead will definitely leave a trace, which is helpful for tracking the enemy's background.
……
When night fell, the analysis and testing work at the camp site also came to an end temporarily.
Commander Waddington reported the materials he had obtained to the Pentagon and prepared to explore the wreckage of the Banshee Flying Machine.
The wreckage of the Banshee Flying Machine is still there, and I'm afraid it's the only good news for the day.
With the wreckage there, Commander Waddington had the courage to face the Pentagon's anger for accountability, even if more people were lost.
To explore the wreckage, you must not rush to it.
The enemy took the weapons and helicopters, how could they be kind enough to leave the wreckage of the Banshee Flying Machine behind?
If Commander Waddington were to direct the battle, he would have chosen to blow it up if he couldn't take the bulky Banshee Flying Machine.
The enemy seems to have destroyed the aircraft and removed the four core thrusters, but who knows if something will be added to the wreckage?
Therefore, before exploring the wreckage, it is necessary to place a full-band signal jammer in the periphery. It is also necessary to let the EOD robot go to work first.
In Afghanistan, Commander Waddington's men were often bombarded by roadside bombardments. So they have a lot of experience in how to use EOD, and this time there are the most professional EOD personnel in the team.
