Chapter 500: Nighthawk Falls
USS Truman.
A member of the Nimitz nuclear power class.
One of the largest warships in the world, with a displacement of more than 90,000 tons, a deck width of 76.8 meters and a length of 332.8 meters, larger than three standard football fields, and two helicopters taking off, inconspicuous.
As the sun sets, a mysterious helicopter that arouses the curiosity of thousands of military fans takes off, and melodious music echoes on the deck, some people play basketball, some people play rugby.
When the helicopter flew over the deck and flew into the distance, the people on the deck invariably suspended everything and gave a thumbs up to the helicopter, not only praising this commando team that has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but also wishing them a safe return, although the vast majority of people on the aircraft carrier do not know what task the commando team performs, but they know that once this commando is used, it is definitely the ultimate task.
On the helicopter, the elite warriors of the Delta Force who were hanging outside the side of the cockpit door were also full of confidence and responded to the people below with OK gestures, while the people in the cabin were chatting and chatting, as if this mission was another opportunity for them to continue to write a glorious legend.
The helicopter flies away.
The relaxed atmosphere before the restoration on the deck of the aircraft carrier.
The helicopter with high-speed stealth capability flew along the predetermined route, just like entering Pakistan to kill bin Laden before, and no one and no radar detected it, like a silent ghost in the air.
Pakistan, a nuclear-armed country with the world's 10th largest military, was unaware of the helicopter that raided bin Laden, let alone these backward and small countries in East Africa.
Night.
As the two helicopters flew over Lake Victoria and into the skies over Uganda, getting closer and closer to their targets, the people in the cabin began to check their equipment.
"That's our goal." Officers in the cabin of the first plane handed out several printed photographs of a handsome man with an Asian face, set against the streets of London.
The commandos scrutinized the photographs and tried to carve the images clearly into their minds, without asking much questions and waiting for the moment of attack.
Lake Victoria spans 240 kilometers, and for the US military's high-speed stealth helicopter, which has not yet been mass-produced and announced, it is only half an hour's flight.
Dead.
The two helicopters arrived at the coordinate point of satellite positioning, gradually reduced in height until they were dozens of meters above the ground, hovering in the air, and the two assault groups that were ready to take off used ropes to slide down and landed one after another.
The assault team settled in front of a villa surrounded by wooded lawns, which was at the heart of the arctic fox's lair.
Yang Chen lives here.
The target of the Delta Force is none other than Yang Chen!
All the staff landed, the commando team was divided into two assault groups to act quickly, all personnel communicated with gestures, Group A walked through the main gate, Group B 12 people climbed to the second and third floors, and cooperated with Group A to carry out a three-dimensional raid.
They only have three minutes, and they can't complete their mission in three minutes after entering the villa, and they must evacuate immediately, otherwise they are in danger of being surrounded by many people.
Although the noise produced by the new helicopter is much lower than that of the Black Hawk, the main model of the US military, the roar of the propeller stirring the air still spreads far away in the low-altitude hovering state, alarming the patrol guards, and more than a dozen people rush over, and the machine gunners who are responsible for providing fire support for the assault with infrared night vision devices immediately grasp the Gatling M134 multi-barrel machine gun next to the hatch, ready to shoot at any time.
At this time, the two assault groups had broken into the villa from the first, second and third floors at the same time, and the tacit understanding of the cooperation, the action was so fast, ordinary people were absolutely caught off guard, but Yang Chen in the house was comparable to ordinary people, four uninvited guests wearing night vision devices killed this livestock bedroom, and before they could see the situation in the room, the gunshots rang out repeatedly.
The four of them all shot heads without exception, and they didn't blink a blind eye, Yang Chen, who was carrying two guns, walked out of the dark corner of the bedroom, glanced coldly at the corpse at the door, turned around and opened the window, climbed out of the window, and jumped down to the third floor.
At this time, the Gatling M134 on the two helicopters fired, strafing the manor guards who arrived at the scene, and after seven or eight people fell to the ground, the people behind quickly hidden.
The people of the Arctic Fox are not a rabble.
The alarm sounded, and several pillars of light illuminated the area.
The Arctic fox elves who were in charge of guarding the base camp swarmed in.
The commander of the operation sensed that something was wrong and urgently ordered the two teams that had entered the villa to evacuate, but unfortunately, it was too late, and several MANPADS whistled in.
The night sky erupted in blinding fire.
The helicopter hit by the missile swayed to the ground, and it never had a chance to return to the flight deck of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Truman.
The other helicopter was a little lucky, the moment it was locked by the missile, the pilot tried his best to dodge, only the tail propeller was damaged, the fuselage spun and forced to land on the wide lawn in front of the villa, because of the trees close to the edge of the lawn, the propeller that was still sprinting after falling to the ground stopped and broke five or six big trees, and the broken tree trunk smashed into the fuselage again, and the sound was terrifying.
The assault team that withdrew from the villa happened to witness the two helicopters crashing to the ground, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, how could they evacuate without helicopters? Break out or stay on the sidelines?
Commando captain John made a quick decision, chose to break through, and it took two hours to hold on to the reinforcements, and there were many long nights and dreams, and the variables were too great, and the best choice was to break through, and getting out of danger was also conducive to air response.
However, John did not calculate the combat effectiveness of the Arctic Fox, he led the team to break through, but was stubbornly blocked, not to mention, and caused the death of five comrades.
John was alert.
The militants who surrounded them were extraordinary!
"Retreat, retreat to the villa." In desperation, John gave the order to stay in the place of death, and if he did not answer, he would surely die, but he had no choice.
Nine people were killed in battle, and only fifteen of the twenty-four commandos remained, and they retreated into the villa in embarrassment, the Delta Force is the world's top special forces, all of the team members are highly skilled, and the individual combat strength is strong, but they can encounter the most elite force of the Arctic Fox, and they can no longer be a dozen or dozens of soldiers.
They are frustrated and nervous.
"I'm a lone wolf, the mission failed, the helicopter crashed, and fifteen people were trapped in the villa where the target was, and I asked for support as soon as possible." John uses a satellite phone to report the situation.
The ocean surface of the Gulf of Aden.
Today's largest warship, the USS George Bush nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, suddenly sounded the alarm, and in just a few tens of seconds, a large number of pilots and ground crews of the aircraft carrier poured onto the deck.
"Report, in three minutes, our fighter formations can be lifted into the air."
In the conference room of the aircraft carrier, an officer reported to the commander of the Fifth Fleet, and there were more than a dozen people sitting next to the rectangular meeting, all with a solemn complexion, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Gentlemen, I now ask the Pentagon for any advice on rescuing the trapped people." The commander of the Fifth Fleet, Admiral Rand, looked around at the audience without being angry.
Those present were silent.
To be silent is to have no opinion.
Rand nodded and began to wire up with the Pentagon.
The new helicopter fell, and 15 members of the Delta Force were trapped, and what to do with it was up to the Ministry of Defense to decide.
