Chapter 813: Landing on the Sea
In the night, the MI-8 Hippopotamus helicopter flew like a giant bird, at a low altitude of 30 meters above the sea surface.
The reason for the close sea flight is to avoid the military radar of the Comoro Kingdom.
For a military system like Komoro, which is not very developed, it is difficult for them to detect helicopters flying close to the sea.
Under the wide fat belly of the Hippo helicopter, a black thing is strapped to look like a rubber pad.
Qin Fei and Lao Yu and the others sat in the cabin, looking down at the black sea outside.
In fact, Qin Fei likes this feeling very much.
There was a rare silence before the battle, and the sound of the propellers cutting through the air could be faintly heard in the noise-canceling headphones in my ears, and when I turned my head, I could see the six team members in the cabin except for myself.
Everyone in the cabin was fully armed, wearing CP all-terrain camouflage, black and green camouflage paint on their faces, and wearing a MICH 2000 helmet with dried cuttlefish rails on which AN/PVS-15 night vision goggles had been installed.
This is simply a standard special forces squad.
In fact, Qin Fei is dissatisfied with many equipment, for example, the most dissatisfied is the night vision device.
After all, the night vision device AN/PVS-15 is only the standard night vision equipment of the Eagle Sauce Rangers and Marines, and the really easy to use are the models of AN/PVS-23 and AN/PVS-21, but this thing is too difficult to handle, it is all used by the Eagle Sauce Delta Special Forces, and the control is quite strict, Qin Fei asked Victor to help him buy some, but Victor has not found it.
"Ten minutes to go!"
The Russian pilot suddenly turned back from the driver's seat, shouted at Qin Fei, and gave a slap and shook it twice.
"Get up! Prepare, there are still ten minutes to go to the predetermined sea area, and the release of the rubber boat will start immediately! Qin Fei spit out a handful of kunchai: "Go to the right, together with the chief mechanic, I will be in charge of Lao Yu here." ”
The two groups each occupied one side of the cabin, opened the door, and grabbed the grip of a winch on each side of the door.
"Ready, go!"
Qin Fei gave an order, and the four of them turned the winch at the same time.
The black rubber pad that had been tied under the belly of the machine began to slowly loosen, and then slowly hung down.
IT'S A DINGHY THAT CAN RIDE 8-10 PEOPLE AND HAS A TWO-STROKE 1140CC, 85K, HIGH-POWERED YAMAHA ENGINE AT 5500 RPM.
As the wire rope slowly lowered, the rubber boat drooped about seven meters from the belly of the machine, and the winch had reached the end.
"OK!"
The mechanic shouted.
Qin Fei raised his hand and looked at his watch, more than eight minutes had passed.
The MI-8 Hippopotamus helicopter began to slow down, and finally hovered over the surface of the sea and began to slowly descend.
As the closer to the sea surface, the reaction of the air currents generated by the propellers will be considerable, and the sea surface will be blown open in a huge white circle, and the sea water will be rolled up more than a meter high, and the water will be mist.
The chief mechanic stood on the edge of the cabin, clutching the safety handrail, looking down at the sea, staring nervously at the dinghy.
"A little bit more ......"
"5 meters ......"
"4m ......"
"3 meters...... Good! ”
He jerked his head back, raised his fist, and signaled the pilot of the helicopter to immediately stop descending.
At this moment, the plane is only ten meters above the sea.
The chief mechanic returned to the position of the winch and said loudly to Qin Fei: "I called it release, everyone put it together!" ”
“OK!” Qin Fei nodded and made an OK gesture to the mechanic, telling him that everything was ready.
"One, two, three, put!"
As soon as the word "put" from the chief mechanic landed, the four of them pulled down the loose handle at the same time.
The tight wire rope on the winch suddenly relaxed, and the buckle on the nylon cable that had been connecting the side of the rubber boat was released, and the whole rubber boat fell into the sea in a daze, smashing a huge splash.
Qin Fei glanced down at the rubber boat on the sea and found that it was in good condition, this way of releasing the rubber boat is a mode used by special forces when they are fighting, but the key is that the height must be just right when you release the rubber boat.
If it's too high, it will capsize; If it's too low, it can cause a helicopter to create a hazard, and it is easy to get caught in the air flow and cause a crash.
The worst part is that the waves and water are very fast due to the tides of the sea, and the rubber boat will quickly be washed away somewhere else, so be sure to be fast enough.
"Hurry, hurry! Go down! ”
The chief mechanic sweated, he knew that in this kind of dark night, a huge helicopter like the MI-8 should not hover on the sea surface for too long, because the temperature is high during the day and the reason for the rise of hot air currents at night, often the sea surface will produce inexplicable air currents and strong winds, which can easily make the helicopter lose its balance and fall into the sea.
Qin Fei took the lead and walked to the side of the cabin, grabbed the rappelling cable, grabbed the rope with both hands wearing downhill gloves, and disappeared outside the cabin with a whoosh.
Then the old fish, then Eric......
In the end, a group of people finally landed in the rubber boat without danger.
The MI-8 Hippopotamus helicopter flicked its nose in the air, made a loud roar, flew into the distance, and quickly disappeared into the sea.
Qin Fei sat in the rubber boat and said to the old fish: "Old fish, you turn on the GPS and control the rubber boat forward, Eric, the front sight, you are responsible for the defense in front, polar bear, you are responsible for the rear, Zhao Xin, Kunchai, the two of you are one left and one right." ”
After a series of orders, the old fish slammed the ignition of the YAMAHA engine, and soon the stern of the boat turned over in white, the beep came, and the propeller began to turn wildly.
The speedboat sped through the sea in the direction of Tanna Island.
Qin Fei turned on the GPS and checked the location.
Now there is still a distance of 5 nautical miles from Tana Island, in order to prevent the helicopter from getting too close to the coastline and being discovered by the enemy, Qin Fei can only choose to use a rubber boat to maneuver into Tanna Island.
"5 nautical miles to go, we'll be there soon, everybody remember, don't turn on anything with light, understand?"
"Got it!"
"Got it, boss."
"Boss, understood!"
……
Qin Fei took out his satellite phone and dialed the ghost's number.
"We're about 5 nautical miles northeast of Tana Island, where are you?"
The ghost quickly answered the phone: "My people and I are at the landing site we agreed before, and now it is very safe, surrounded by a deserted beach, and a mangrove forest more than a hundred meters wide, you can park your boat in the mangrove forest and find me through the agreed coordinates." ”
"OK, we'll be right there!" Qin Fei said: "I suggest that your communication be connected to our communication platform to facilitate our exchange and communication. ”
"No problem, how often do you guys."
"NOW ADJUST YOUR RADIO FREQUENCY BAND TO 261.5MHZ, ACCESS IDENTIFICATION CODE: X3G8."
"No problem."
The ghost cut off the communication.
Qin Fei squatted quietly in the rubber boat, waiting for the ghostly voice to appear in the headphones.
"Test test!" The ghost's voice came a minute later.
"It's clear, no problem." Qin Fei immediately responded: "The communication is good, I can hear your voice." ”
"Alright, now we are silent for the time being, I wish you all a smooth journey, we are waiting for you by the sea."
