Chapter 174: There is no danger
The three of them sat on the ridge and quietly watched the wreckage of the C5 Galaxy transport plane burn not far away, and the smoke was as black as heavy ink and soared into the sky. From time to time, there were crackling small-scale explosions in the wreckage of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion, and the fragments splashed like fireworks in the explosion.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Chen Xu helped the co-pilot lie on the ridge in a more comfortable position, his right calf was still very painful at the moment, but he had adapted to this pain, and no longer yelled like when he broke his leg just now, just gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Do you mean this post-apocalyptic beauty of the wasteland? I don't think it at all, especially since this plane crashed on the hands of the two of us, and I don't know if there will be a chance to fly such a giant transport plane again. Cold sweat ran down the co-pilot's forehead, and he sniffed and said uncomfortably.
Captain Li Xiaohua sat next to him, also depressed, the two of them dropped the plane as pilots, I don't know if there is a chance to get on the plane again after returning to China, maybe they will be refrigerated and turned into civilian officials.
"Don't worry, I'll ask the Americans to compensate us for a better one, the process of being shot down while you just drove the plane is equivalent to experiencing a war, this incident can greatly improve the mental quality of the two of you when dealing with emergency problems, there are not many pilots with such experience in China, so the two of you will definitely continue to be reused after returning home." Chen Xu comforted the two colleagues on the side, as the old air force pilot before the reopening, the idea that equipment is more expensive than people cannot be corrected for the time being, in their eyes, this plane is more important than their own lives, and falling is equivalent to a death sentence for the pilot's career.
In the distance, there was the sound of rumbling air stirring in the sky, and the three of them looked up, and soon saw more than a dozen helicopters flying in a 'human' formation like geese flying south. Coincidentally, there were also sharp sirens on the main road from the small town next to them, and several fire trucks and police cars flashed their police lights and rushed towards the crash site.
"Look at the response speed of the Americans to the disaster relief, it is like a swarm of people who have been discussed, and it is also a three-dimensional rescue system that integrates air and ground." Chen Xu propped his hands back on his body, looked up at the helicopter roaring in the sky, and was very envious of the wealth of the US imperialists' family.
The helicopter formation quickly dispersed through the air, centering on the crash site in all directions to find the survivors of the parachute jump. Seeing that the Americans acted so decisively and quickly, Chen Xu calmed down a little, as long as the eldest brother was not too unlucky, and did not land in some dangerous areas, the two brothers would meet again soon.
The four helicopters landed in a wheat field 100 meters away, and the huge downward force of the propellers blew away the smoke from the burning wreckage of the crash, and the three of them had to cover their noses to avoid inhaling poisonous gases.
A large group of soldiers ran over with stretchers and helmets with one hand, and everyone carried the co-pilot with the broken leg onto the stretcher and sent him to the helicopter, while Captain Chen Xu and Captain Li Xiaohua refused to help themselves stand up, saying that they were not injured and did not need medical treatment.
The young officer, who was the first to have the rank of lieutenant colonel, stepped forward, saluted Li Xiaohua, and asked loudly: "Mr. Captain, may I ask how many people were killed on the plane and how many survivors successfully parachuted. ”
Li Xiaohua is wearing a warm leather jacket of the Air Force, and it is also an American-style Air Force lambskin jacket, although the epaulettes and armbands have been changed to those of the Chinese Air Force, but the style is exactly the same as that of the American Imperialist Air Force. Therefore, this officer could see at a glance that Li Xiaohua's identity was the captain of the transport plane, and as the chief officer who piloted the plane, it must be right to ask him about the situation. As for Chen Xu wearing an orange down jacket like an ordinary young man, it's normal for people not to know him.
Li Xiaohua glanced at Chen Xu, and saw that the helicopter in the distance of Chen Xu's eyes pretended to be careless, without the slightest consciousness of being a leader. Li Xiaohua instantly realized that there may be bad guys like killers hidden among this group of Americans, and it is indeed inappropriate to expose Chen Xu's identity. He immediately retracted his gaze and said: "This time we are very lucky, all the people parachuted before the plane was attacked, including the three of us, there are a total of 42 crew members on the plane, I hope the United States can find all of them as soon as possible." ”
"There were no casualties...... Thank goodness for that! Please rest assured, Mr. Captain, we will be looking for another 39 people soon, please get on the helicopter first, and we will take you to the hospital for a check-up regardless of whether there are any external injuries! Hearing that everyone had parachuted, the lieutenant colonel officer was immediately overjoyed and enthusiastically stepped forward to support Li Xiaohua and motioned for the two to take a helicopter in order to receive rapid medical treatment. The fact that there were no casualties in this accident is really good news, as long as there are no fatalities, the problem will be solved, it is nothing more than an apology and compensation for the damage, and the diplomatic pressure will not be so great.
The helicopter took off slowly, carrying the trio on its way to Los Angeles, the nearest big city. It is only more than 100 kilometers from Los Angeles, and can be reached by helicopter in half an hour.
The staff of the Chinese Embassy in Los Angeles have been waiting for a long time in the hospital, and the military attaché of the embassy has also come to the hospital in civilian clothes to protect them.
The next three men began to undergo various inspections, during which helicopters continued to fly in to drop off the rescued Chinese officials and then continued to take off. These officials were all in shock, just now it was a parachute jump and a plane crash, this kind of encounter is probably difficult to experience once in a lifetime, after being calmed down by the embassy staff for a while, these people's mood calmed down a little, a few people after the doctor injected a mental tranquilizer before relaxing to sleep, for them a sleep is the best elixir.
As the news spread, the news media quickly got the news, and in this atmosphere of the Cold War, the incident of the shooting down of a visiting Chinese military plane by a military traitor simply hit the g-point of the press, and a large number of reporters gathered outside the hospital in the hope of getting more first-hand information. Many newspapers sent helicopters to the scene of the accident to photograph the crashed plane, in short, to make the accident a big news that would attract people.
Many newspapers and media have been thinking wildly, identifying this incident as a conspiracy of the Soviets to let the Chinese military plane crash in the United States and then trigger a backlash between China and the United States.
However, both China and the United States are remaining silent, and neither government will express any opinion on the matter until the accident is clarified. After all, this kind of naked assassination is clearly aimed at Chen Xu, and since it is a simple assassination operation, there is no need to expand the problem into a political and diplomatic incident.
Now is the time when Sino-US relations are the closest, the military and economic exchanges between the two sides are frequent, and if the situation escalates, it will affect many transactions between the two sides, so the governments of the two countries are deliberately suppressing the impact of this matter and deciding to solve this problem privately.
Chen Xu hasn't slept all the time, the helicopter has come back several times, and most of the entourage has been rescued, but there has been no big brother, which makes him very uneasy.
During this period, when an official was taken to the hospital, the situation was very bad, and the whole person was covered in blood and was rushed to the operating room. According to the explanation of the US personnel who sent him, this guy originally chose a very safe slope to land, but unexpectedly, at the moment of landing, a gust of wind suddenly came and lifted him up again, and as a result, the person flew over the steep slope behind the slope, suddenly lost lift and fell from a height of more than three meters, and then rolled down the steep slope and was seriously injured.
Fortunately, there was a farm next to it, and the farmer had been staring at the parachute towards his farm with a strange sight, and he had also seen this man fail to land and roll down the hillside. The farmer hurriedly called the police, who were quickly rescued by a military helicopter, otherwise he might not have been found at the bottom of the steep slope until tomorrow.
Fortunately, the crash area was populated on the Pacific coast of the United States, and most of the officials parachuted out, and the general direction of their landing was seen by ordinary people, and the ground search force and the air search force could quickly find the person.
Finally, after most of the people were sent back, Chen Xu saw that his eldest brother was carried to the hospital, and hurriedly ran over to see that his face was full of scratches, and it was a little swollen as if he had been stung by a wasp, and his eyes were squeezed so that he couldn't see. However, the clothes were only dirty but there was no blood, and it seemed that only the face was injured, so he asked strangely, "What's wrong with you!" Could it be that you can't land on your face? Most people break their legs and hurt their pelvis when they hit the ground on their buttocks, and there are really not many people like you who hurt their faces. ”
"Get out of the way, I was injured on the way to seek rescue, and I was careless in Jingzhou!" The eldest brother squinted his swollen eyes and said dissatisfied.
After the explanation of the American staff next to him, Chen Xu learned the truth, and it turned out that the eldest brother landed successfully and did not encounter any danger. He waited for a long time at the landing site, and when he saw the helicopter flying over, he ran excitedly all the way and waved his hands and shouted to chase him, but he hit a tree headlong, and his face may have been pricked by a small thorn in the tree or something, so it was swollen.
The eldest brother was in good health, and most of the officials who were sent back were not in danger of life, which made Chen Xu breathe a sigh of relief. There were embassy staff in charge of the hospital, so Chen Xu didn't bother anymore, found a bed to lie down and rest, and by the way, he pondered in his mind the suspicious person behind the assassination.
To be able to make such a big scene and mobilize F4 fighters to attack the Chinese transport plane, at least only members of the US Imperial Congress have this kind of power.
The transport plane decided to take off on a temporary route, and the mastermind on the US side had already begun to arrange manpower to arrange the assassination operation during the time when the transport plane flew over the Pacific Ocean. It can be seen that this person got accurate information about the take-off of the plane, and knew that Chen Xu was on this plane! After all, there are not many people who know that the plane took off, and it is easy to find out who leaked it.
Chen Xu will not care how the US intelligence department investigates this matter, he will call on the strength of the military intelligence agency to investigate independently, and he will personally unscrew the head of the mastermind who planned this matter to vent the fire in his heart.
