If you don't wear goggles, it's hard for people to open their eyes at this time. The night sky is clear, but the wind and sand at night make it impossible to open your eyes. As long as you stand in the open space for a while, your nose and mouth will be filled with the smell of sand and stones.

Such climatic conditions are favorable for the Americans. They can use the various observation means on the helicopter to monitor the ground and give guidance to the ground troops, of course, the fast reaction force enters the position before the other side, has time to do all kinds of camouflage, and is in an ambush situation, so it seems that the advantages of both sides are equal.

When the US military implements tactics, the purpose is clear, and the various links are relatively smooth, so it is difficult to be defeated under the condition of equal forces. In particular, the backbone of the 16th Special Service Wing is the non-commissioned officers of various units, veterans with real professional qualities, fighting machines, and knows how to control themselves and the people around them, and they can play a more important role in the battle than the officers who lead the team. The Rapid Reaction Force is the elite of the Chinese Army, but the problem is that they have never actually engaged the Americans head-on.

Although Luo Men and others did not fight the US military head-on, they had a much deeper understanding of the US military than others. In mountainous operations, the commanding heights are the key to victory, and now, there is one near the downed "Apache", and Luo 'Men' and Ma Xi are moving towards that place. It is almost certain that the Americans will try to rescue their companions. 'Elite' units like the 16th Special Service Wing are good at breaking through and breaking away quickly, and if they don't bite them to the death at this time, they can escape before the situation becomes more unfavorable. The fast reaction force has already set up an ambush position, and Luo 'Men' hopes that they will not only be able to attract the special service wing, but also bring them all to the front of the ambush position, so that the superior firepower of the fast reaction force can be eliminated, or at least hit them hard.

Ma Xixi, who was walking in front, made a gesture to Luo 'Men', who was about twenty meters behind, and quickly disappeared behind a stone, and Luo 'Men' immediately hid after following his example. The Apache helicopter gunship flew overhead at high speed and then rose to high altitude to hover, and now this is the latest landing site.

Ma Xibei told Luo 'Men' that he could already see the outline of the crashed Apache, and Luo 'Men' told him to stay where he was and quietly approached the commanding heights along the rock wall. The vantage point was several hundred meters away from the crash site, and Luo 'Men' believed that this distance was enough to cover his retreat to the ambush position after the 'exchange' of fire.

Unbeknownst to both Ma Xibei and Ro'Men, the "Apache" had spotted them, but the wing commander asked the crew to keep watch. If there are only two people, the wing will deal with them while rescuing the crew, and the "Apache" will have to prepare for the next possible battle.

"Alpha One, you are our air cover, and I ask you to be able to give us strong support at all times, not just two insignificant suspicious figures." The Pave Eagle enters the landing field at high speed, and Joe yells over the radio in the wind. "'Hand them over' to me. Complete. ”

"Beta One, pay attention to cleaning up the anti-aircraft weapons, otherwise we won't be able to get close to the ground." The nervousness of the crew can also be heard in the noise. "The wind and sand are very strong today, and if you don't get close to the ground, you can't tell friend from foe, and you can't provide cover. Complete. ”

As long as we can land safely on the ground, everything is fine. Joe cut ties with Alpha One, and the two men who showed up at the crash site clearly had bad intentions. What puzzled Joe was that these people were certainly not members of the "Taliban" or "al-Qaeda". They like to sneak up and run, and if they had shot down the helicopter, they would have left the scene long before the helicopter fell, rather than sneakily staying. They are well aware of how terrible the retaliation of the US military is. Jones's words puzzled him, what exactly does it mean to be "as 'lean' as you are"?

"Sir, get ready to land!" The Pave Hawk pilot informs Joe over the radio. The "Paving Eagle" transporting the 16th Special Service Wing does not belong to the 10th Mountain Division but belongs to the Air Force, and has been used as a special vehicle for the wing for several years, and the cooperation between the driver and the soldiers of the wing is very tacit.

Joe pulled off the night vision device on his helmet and looked around the cabin. There were eleven heavily armed wingmen on board the Paving Eagle, which was the second reason why the Paving Eagle had to enter first: the lack of a full load allowed it to maneuver at low altitudes in much the same way as usual.

And the first reason is that Joe himself was on this plane.

Joe checked his M4A1 rifle one last time, then gave his team a thumbs up, and all of them responded to him with the same motion.

The "Pave Eagle" turned in the air and made the nose swoop towards the landing site in the direction of the strong wind.

Luo 'Men' had already heard the sound of the "Paving Eagle", and he could also see the silhouette of a helicopter in the night sky in the starlight of the sky. A "Paving Eagle" began to approach here in a zigzag course, above which the "Apache" circled in the air to escort it, and further behind the "Apache", another "Paving Eagle" was flying at cruising altitude.

At that moment, the voice of ACE was heard on the radio. He had arranged all the explosives and was preparing to join the fight.

"Bring the Stinger." Romen pondered the possible actions of the Americans. "The jeep can be approached from down the valley, but the possibility of being found is very 'sexual'. You have to be careful, I want you to take the missile to a distance of a thousand meters from the helicopter. ”

"You can't hit the Apache at a distance of a thousand meters." ACE replied crisply. "Alright, 'hand' it over to me, I'll try to get as close to that ugly guy as I can. If those guys can take it down, so can I. ”

ACE is always like this, almost never knowing what fear is. However, fear doesn't help at all in times like these, and you have to deal with the present before you have a chance to think about the future. Ro'men forced himself to calm down before he stuck his M-14 rifle out of the rocks and set it up. He chose a very good position with a large stone on which his infrared signature would be obscured, and "Apache" would certainly not be able to find his exact location before the battle.

"The enemy is coming to your side, and it's best to attract them here." The voice of the commander of the fast reaction force suddenly came from the earphones, and he sounded a little nervous. "As soon as we get fire with them, you leave with your supplies."

If there is an "Apache" in the sky, it is pointless to wipe out all the special service wings, and you can expect a truck to dodge a helicopter gunship? Romen had other plans, but it wasn't time to tell him yet. Luo 'Men' picked up the satellite phone next to him and informed the transport plane temporarily parked in Pakistan that it was ready to fly into Afghanistan as soon as it was ready, and now it was time to use them.

When he put down the microphone, the "Paving Eagle" had already begun to hover in the air, and the ground rolled up *** smoke. Two rappelling lines were thrown from the cabin, and it looked like the Americans were about to make a landing. Ro'men opened the rifle's safety and aimed at a rappelling line with the help of an ACOG scope.

After a few seconds, no soldiers slid off the rappel. Luo "Men" was "confused", but found that the "Paving Eagle" suddenly rotated ninety degrees in the air, turned the cabin "door" with an M134 Gatling cannon to himself, and it only took a fraction of a second for Luo "Gate" to understand what was going on, and immediately lowered himself from his position.

The M134 uses the principle of a Gatling gun, which uses an electric motor to rotate six barrels, and although the rotating barrel will reduce the 'precision', the high 'fire' rate of fire brings powerful firepower that makes this cannon very effective in suppressing fire over a large area. Most M134s will control the rate of 'fire' between 2,000 and 4,000 rounds per minute, and the caliber of the six barrels is only 7.62mm, but the muzzle flame when it 'fires' is still impressive.

When the first bullets hit the position, Rom knew it wasn't enough to just bend down. The dense web of bullets crushed all the rocks that could be crushed, and the sharp fragments whistled and flew in all directions, and Luo 'Men', who was already curled up in a ball with his head in his arms, realized that he had to leave this place in order to survive, so he slid down the slope behind the position in the direction of the rock wall without hesitation.

Luo Men's reaction was timely, and just as he followed the crumbling rock all the way down the rock wall, the "Paving Eagle" adjusted his height and angle, and continued to rain bullets on the commanding heights. This time, even the place where he had just been hiding was not spared, and the rocks that looked hard immediately fell apart under the rain of bullets, and each fragment was as lethal as shrapnel after the explosion.

Due to the steep angle, Ro'men found himself losing his balance in the process of slipping and tumbling headfirst down into the valley. This valley is not a natural hazard, but it is enough to kill anyone who falls into it. Ro'men struggled to control his body, and in the moment when his whole body had already slipped out of the cliff, his powerful fingers, trained in freehand climbing, firmly grasped the solid rock, and suspended himself in the air.

Suddenly under the tremendous pressure that caused the pain in his fingers, Luo 'Men' gritted his teeth, and finally found a support point on the cliff with his feet to support his shaky body.

"'Hummingbird', how are you doing, please answer!" From the headset came Ma Xibei's anxious call.

"I'm fine, 'Soldier Ant'." Ro'mon spat out the sand in his mouth. "Watch your direction."

Ro'men rolled over and climbed up the rock wall, quickly approaching his position again. The time suddenly became urgent, and after suppressing the fire, the next special service wing would be airborne, and the well-trained ones could all land on the ground in a dozen seconds. Luo Men's M-14 rifle was stuck under a large rock, surprisingly intact, and he rubbed his sleeve to wipe the dust off the gun, and once again raised his gun to aim at the "Pave Eagle".

After the M134 cannon ceased fire, the soldiers of the wing slid down the rappelling line through the cabin 'doors' on both sides. The first group to land is a sniper team of Marines armed with M40A3 sniper rifles, who will cover their comrades to seize the high ground, but before they can leave the unobservable landing area to find a temporary shelter. The group that landed was followed by a machine gunner with an Mk46 light machine gun and a grenadier, who provided cover for the moving sniper group. The third group is a grenadier and a rifleman, and they and the next team members who land are the assault fighters who actually charge towards the high ground.

Romen caught the target in the scope, but he let go of the rifleman who was rushing forward, and the first shot knocked down the grenadier who was immediately behind, and then quickly turned the muzzle, but the second shot missed because of the target's movement. Romen took a deep breath, stabilized his breath, and fired a third shot at the machine gunner, who was already lying down and ready to 'shoot'.

The M-14's gunfire didn't sound loud in the surrounding noise, and Joe, who landed on the ground, only noticed the continuous death of his subordinates, and he was surprised that the enemy on the high ground was actually spared by the M134's bullet rain, and what surprised him even more was that the enemy's marksmanship was surprisingly accurate. In battle, casualties depend on the time of one side under effective firepower, so it is necessary to speed up the pace of the attack when attacked, shorten the time, and the more fierce the attack, the smaller the loss.

Another 'ping' M-60 machine gun with light sight began to 'fire' in the direction where the enemy was hiding, and a string of tracer rounds indicated the direction of attack and 'shooting' for all combatants on the ground, followed by another 'ping' Mk46 machine gun to suppress the high ground fire. Joe didn't need to shout at his teammates, they all knew what they had to do and how to do it at this time, Joe just had to charge in front of them.

The first Pave Hawk ran out of gun bullets and took off, and the second Pave Hawk began to approach the crash site of the Apache.

The members of the special service wing began to attack the commanding heights with the help of the complicated terrain, and the cover of the two 'strong' machine guns seemed to work, and the enemy on the commanding heights returned fire weakly, and at the cost of two more team members, the soldiers of the wing soon advanced to the commanding heights of about 200 meters. The snipers have found a sheltered position and are looking for traces of the enemy on the commanding heights in the observation instruments.

The "Apache" in the air was ready to launch a fire attack on the commanding heights, but the rapid charge of the special service wing reduced the distance between them and the commanding heights to about 200 meters, which is called the dangerous distance, that is, the distance that is likely to accidentally injure friendly troops, and according to the combat regulations, it is not allowed to provide fire reinforcements to friendly troops.

However, the "Apache" found a jeep in the "flight night vision sensor system" that was moving at a low speed towards the crash site. This was a new target, it could be judged that it was part of the enemy, and its position was in the valley, far from the scene of the 'engagement', and the "Apache" immediately flew in the direction of the jeep.

Ma Xibei put down the binoculars in his hand and turned to observe the "Pave Eagle" that was about to land at the crash site.

"ACE, THE APACHE IS ALREADY FLYING IN YOUR DIRECTION."
