Chapter 966: The Church's Apprentice Killed the Master
As a matter of fact, while the Northeast Theater was conducting exercises and confrontations, another exercise also quietly came, and there was only a gap of more than three hours between the two exercises. www.biquge.info The exercise was conducted against the Celestial Wolf Special Brigade in the Northwest Theater, and the location was chosen to be conducted in the desert on the border with the Mongolian and Ning districts in the northwest of Longxi. This area is naturally the home of the Sky Wolf Special Operations Brigade, and although they usually train in a relatively comprehensive range of subjects, they are mainly aimed at or studied the study of special operations tactics under the conditions of the arid desert Gobi in the northwest.
In fact, for the above order, Jiang Chen and the others could still guess the intention to some extent. It's nothing more than that the project wants to test Jiang Chen's resilience to the task, that is, whether they can perform two tasks or even multiple tasks at the same time. This made Jiang Chen and the others also prepared, in case they might really have to deal with three exercises at the same time or really three tasks in the future.
And with the Northwest Theater and the Heavenly Wolf Special Operations Brigade, Jiang Chen can be said to be very familiar with them. Although Jiang Chen's grandfather has now been transferred to the Southern Theater, he came out of the Northwest Theater, and he has the seal of the Northwest Theater everywhere he goes. Jiang Chen and his family members are even more related to many people in the Northwest Theater, so this exercise has put Jiang Chen and Lei Jun under some pressure. As for the Sky Wolf Special Operations Brigade, Jiang Chen is also very familiar with them, and even Jiang Chen has been there himself. Moreover, the people of the Sky Wolf have also conducted joint exercises or patrols with the members of the Evil Wolf several times, and the two sides are very familiar with each other, and the relationship is also very close.
Although there was some pressure, the drill still had to continue, and the order still had to be executed, so Jiang Chen and the others could only bite the bullet. Because the two plus transport planes were sent to the Northeast Theater, this transportation could only be carried out by helicopters. At present, there are two kinds of helicopters in the Wolf's Den, one is the Owl Squadron composed of Black Hawk helicopters, and the other is the 'Little Bird Helicopter' that was temporarily seconded by Jiang Chen and them. And according to the combat environment and distance, the Little Bird helicopter, which belongs to light helicopters, is naturally not suitable, so this task can only be handed over to the Owl squadron. However, fortunately, the area of this exercise is relatively close to Jiang Chen's company's Huslehu Aviation Production Base, so the temporary station of the troops on this mission was chosen at the airport there. And if needed, Jiang Chen allowed them to temporarily requisition the few bird helicopters that had just been produced.
The mission this time is also very simple, in fact, it is very similar to the mission in the Northeast Theater, except that the mission from the Linhai Snow Field is moved to the desert. The mission briefing said that a group of militants was operating in the depths of the desert, and that they had recently become very aggressive. One herder called the police to say that the militants had robbed a village, killed a few people, and then robbed a few women and fled deep into the desert. They were furious at this and thought that it was beyond what we could tolerate, so they were determined to eliminate the militants and rescue the hostages. This is a scenario to be simulated in the whole exercise, and it can be said that it is very targeted and close to actual combat. As the elite force of the region, the Sky Wolf Special Operations Brigade has also carried out such tasks. And this time, the Sky Wolf Special Operations Team simulates this group, and the Evil Wolf plays the role of the rescue force. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty for Jiang Chen and them. For the Sky Wolf, who is familiar with the terrain and often interacts with these people, they know how to survive and evade tracking in the desert. This is still a difficult task for the wolf.
When we think of the desert, we always think of windblown sand, drought, lack of water and high temperatures, and Liao is uninhabited. And the most frightening thing is undoubtedly the high temperature and drought, and everyone often feels as if this is a summer thing, so they will feel that the desert area in summer will be very scary. In fact, compared to the desert in summer, the desert environment in winter is worse and the situation is even worse. As you know, there are three factors for the evaporation of water, the first is temperature, the second is the surface area, and the third is the fluidity of air. This is the principle of the hair dryer, which uses the speed and temperature of the wind to make the water on the hair evaporate quickly. In winter, although the temperature in the desert is relatively low, the wind speed is much higher. Especially in the endless desert, the wind speed can be very fast. That's why desert areas are so prone to sandstorms, and why you can see so many sand dunes. As a result, the desert-like drought in winter makes it even more difficult to obtain water than in summer.
Another is the low temperature, we have all heard such a sentence, wear a cotton jacket in the morning, wear yarn in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove at night. Such a strange scene makes us full of curiosity and longing for the Northwest. And this sentence is also the surface of the huge temperature difference between day and night in these areas, in the summer, and even more so in the winter. Of course, in these areas, the winter must be very cold, even at the best of the sun at noon, its temperature is several degrees below zero, and once it is night, then the temperature can reach more than ten degrees below zero, dozens of degrees. Coupled with the huge cold wind from Siberia, it was so sour and refreshing that it made people shudder to think about it.
But no matter how bad the conditions are, the mission still has to be carried out. As a result, five 'Black Hawks' began to rush to Longxi with special combat personnel and equipment and supplies. However, this arrival gave the special combat team members a dismount, because the sudden change in the sky caused the wind to increase significantly, so that the five Black Hawk helicopters that barely flew to the ground could not take off, and the team members were very helpless, so they could only wait for the time being. It was not until the next day that the weather cleared up a little and the wind speed dropped, and the three helicopters took off and began to patrol and reconnoiter the entire exercise area. But this time it was an accident again. It may be the reason why the people of the wolf often practice together with the people of the evil wolf, so they know Jiang Chen's tactics of using helicopters to conduct rapid assault operations very well. No, two of the three helicopters that went out were attacked by the enemy, and one was attacked by enemy rockets, and the planes successfully evaded. The second one was attacked by a single anti-aircraft missile. However, fortunately, the pilots were skilled, so the helicopter was judged to be 'damaged' and temporarily withdrawn from the exercise for 'repairs'.
After getting the news, Jiang Chen and the others all smiled bitterly. This is really the apprentice of the church who killed the master, but I didn't expect that as soon as the two sides fought, they got a helicopter down. It seemed that this set of tactics could not be used, so they immediately ordered the team to abandon the helicopter and use all-terrain assault vehicles to start sweeping and assaulting the desert area. The original five helicopters, equipped with weapons, provided fire support to the special combat personnel of the ground assault. (To be continued.) )
