Chapter 2033 - Interception
On the way to escort the last crew members evacuated from the plane to the meeting place, Cao Yue received a message from a butterfly again.
The two small helicopters piloted by our rescuers from Stockholm are about to arrive at their destination, which is currently less than 50 kilometers away from the scene of the incident.
Fifty kilometers, at most ten minutes can be reached, Cao Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't go with the last people who were rescued, and he ignored the request of the two beautiful flight attendants on the special plane that he could help them go, and ran away first without any "gentlemanly demeanor".
Cao Yue returned to Butterfly as fast as he could, and discussed with Butterfly what to do after the possible gunship appeared.
The rescuers were armed with weapons and infantry guns against helicopters, but the range and altitude of the infantry guns were lower, and their accuracy was not at all comparable to that of shoulder-fired missiles.
But in any case, infantry artillery is a very effective weapon against helicopters, and if it is not for helicopter gunships to participate in the battle, it is completely stressful to deal with.
Cao Yue asked the butterfly to urge the rescuers to get here as quickly as possible and prepare for battle.
Cao Yue and his entourage were armed, but they were all short-range weapons.
Caprius Lopez's retinue also carries weapons, but the most powerful weapons are two miniature submachine guns.
Miniature submachine guns, pistols, and military stabs are completely impossible to deal with helicopters.
Therefore, he is very desperate for his rescue to arrive as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also hopes that Christopher can arrive here very late due to the lack of precise positioning.
If they had time to leave here in a rescue helicopter and return to the Raidian country, then there would be no need to worry about it.
Although Nawei and Ruidian are close neighbors, it is impossible for helicopter gunships to swagger across the border, it is an invasion.
In other words, as long as he escapes to the territory of Ruidian, it is impossible for Christopher to blatantly set up a plane to chase him, otherwise he may be shot down by Ruidian's air defense, or at least intercepted.
Contrary to Cao Yue's indulgence, Christopher hopes to arrive at the scene of the incident as soon as possible and eliminate Cao Yue and Caprius Lopez, who are fortunate not to die. To this end, shortly after departure, he forced the pilot of one of the helicopter gunships to hand over control of the aircraft to him and let him fly it.
After the fleet left Oslo, Christopher, through Joseph, was domineering and seized the control of a helicopter gunship.
He has a license to pilot a variety of aircraft, has served in the Air Force, and is an accomplished fighter pilot who will fly any aircraft in his home country. This is also the capital for him to personally chase down Cao Yue and Caprius Lopez.
Failed to secure fighter jets, but it was also a good result to have helicopter gunships.
Against low-altitude targets, or helicopters, but also ground targets, helicopter gunships are more effective than fighters.
Taking advantage of his status as a member of the royal family, with the help of Joseph, to seize the control of the helicopter gunship, Christopher ordered the captain to notify the other two planes to speed up their march and find the survivors in the shortest possible time. He told the rest of the crew and his entourage that Caprise Lopez's plane was likely to be attacked by unidentified militants and that it needed to be rescued quickly.
It would be a grave sin if rescue operations lag behind, when a plane detonates before they can find a survivor, or if a survivor is killed or captured by unknown militants.
Christopher also ordered another helicopter gunship to attack unidentified militants as soon as possible to prevent the lives of Caprith Lopez and her entourage from being threatened.
Most of Christopher's entourage remained in the original transport helicopter, with only two of his most loyal guards with him.
A total of three aircraft were dispatched this time, and two helicopter gunships escorted a transport helicopter to the crash site.
The other rescue force arranged by the government is not yet ready.
But no one expected that the three helicopters would be targeted by a real group of "unidentified militants" as soon as they left Oslo.
In one of the hills that the helicopter route must pass, several people who had disembarked from another small helicopter that had arrived before them had already lurked here, quietly waiting for Christopher's plane to come.
The three members also carried shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles that made helicopter pilots talk about it, but the missiles they carried were Western, a French anti-aircraft missile that had begun to be phased out.
Two shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missile launchers were immediately erected and commissioning began.
The maximum range of this missile is 5,000 meters, and the maximum altitude is 3,200 meters. Shoulder-fired defensive missiles are even more killers of helicopters, and they are a very handy weapon against helicopters flying at an altitude of only one or two thousand meters.
The unidentified men, who arrived by helicopter, were ready for battle as soon as they lurked in a dense wooded area.
Northern Europe is not far from empty, but it is sparsely populated, and the weather is starting to get cold again, and there is no movement in large areas, especially far from the roads and railways. As a result, the unidentified militants did not encounter any trouble in their sleepy operations.
Just after they had done a good job of lurking and adjusted the firing status of the shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile, several black spots appeared in the field of vision, which could be clearly seen through the high-powered telescope, which was three helicopters coming in this direction at a rapid pace.
"Prepare to shoot," a masked man in black at the lead calmly ordered, "shoot down that ordinary transport helicopter in the middle." ”
The two escort helicopter gunships did not provoke, they only dealt with the transport helicopter that had no protective capability.
As the masked man in black gave the order, the two launchers were ready to immediately face each other in the direction of the helicopter.
Aim, shoot, all in one go.
As the two MANPADS flew in the direction of the group, the early warning system of the two helicopter gunships escorting Christopher immediately issued an attack alarm, and the helicopter gunships had already flown away at high speed to widen the distance while reminding the transport helicopter in the middle to quickly maneuver and dodge. But instead of pursuing the fleeing gunship, the two missiles flew directly towards the transport helicopter in the middle.
"Boom", with a huge explosion, the transport helicopter was hit by a missile and was instantly blown to pieces.
