Hearing the roar of the helicopter, Wang Dong stepped on the brakes and stopped the chariot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Behind, the two BMP-3s piloted by Luo Qing and Churkin also stopped.

Three Mi-17s, flying from the southwest, had already begun to slow down and were still flashing searchlights.

Jumping out of the chariot, Wang Dong threw out the light flare, indicating the landing place for the helicopter.

The wind and snow were so great that it took a lot of effort for the three Mi-17s to fall to the ground.

When the helicopter stopped, Wang Dong ran over with his waist down.

It was Musharraf who arrived, as well as the operatives he had recruited in Pakistan.

After flying out of Moscow, Wang Dong asked Churkin to send a distress signal on the grounds of "engine failure", and at the same time asked the transport plane to lower its altitude.

Doing so, you can buy for hours.

As for the range, it is not a problem at all.

Carrying three BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles, that is, with a load of less than sixty tons, the maximum range of the An-22 is more than eight thousand kilometers.

Even at ultra-low altitudes, it can reach 4,000 kilometers.

From Moscow to the destination, that is, the military base on the Putorana plateau, it is only more than 3,000 kilometers.

Wang Dong did not think about leaving Russia on this transport plane, so there was no need to save fuel.

The real problem is actually landing.

The An-22 was stolen and apparently could not be blatantly flown to a military base, and the nearest airfield was hundreds of kilometers away.

Luckily, the Putorana plateau is full of open snowfields.

Churkin chose a plain covered with snow and snow, and when he landed, he broke almost all of his tires and broke half of his wing.

Although the danger was everywhere, the transport plane finally fell to the ground.

At this time, Wang Dong had already received a message from Serena.

Musharraf led his team to Afghanistan and got a transport plane to deliver humanitarian supplies, which would be able to reach Tomsk in a few hours.

Nicholas has already leased three Mi-17 helicopters for them online.

After refueling at the oil city of Surgutiha, the three Mi-17s were able to fly to the Putorana plateau, a journey that took about eight hours.

The landing site was more than 100 kilometers away from the military base, and there was a snowstorm, so it was obviously unrealistic to walk there.

To this end, Wang Dong and the others used three BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles.

Musharraf and his entourage consisted of thirty people, twelve of whom were involved in the U.S. operation, and the other eighteen were "novices" he recruited in Pakistan.

Of course, all experienced agents and special forces.

Thirty-three people in total, with only three BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles, a little cramped, but not a big problem.

Musharraf brought equipment for Wang Dong and Luo Qing, and also prepared an M240B machine gun for Churkin.

After a busy time, the team set off.

At this time, inside the base.

Boris has received information that the Russian Aerospace Forces have dispatched a search and rescue force and are looking for the wrecked transport plane in the dense forests of the Northern Urals.

That An-22 crashed?

Boris could not believe it and could not believe it.

Although it was an An-22 that had been in use for more than forty years, had more than 10,000 flight hours, and was almost scrapped, but there was such a coincidence?

Besides, for the transportation of munitions, the daily maintenance of the transport aircraft is definitely no problem.

Only one thing is certain, the transport plane ran out of fuel a few hours ago.

So, where is the transport plane now?

Airports nearby?

The nearest airport is Norilsk, almost 500 km away.

Boris called the airport, not to mention the An-22 transport plane, which was closed a few hours ago due to the snowstorm.

Other airports, all 1,000 kilometers away.

Could it be that Churkin gave up?

If so, that An-22 has already flown out of Russian airspace, has long since landed at an airfield in a country in Central Asia, and perhaps crashed somewhere.

Of course, it is also possible that it is near the base.

If that were the case, there would be nothing to worry about.

After the crash of the transport plane, Churkin could not overcome the raging blizzard even with great ability, and may have frozen into ice sculptures.

In addition, this blizzard will last for several days, and even if Churkin is not dead, he will not live long.

On the inhospitable Siberian plateau, bad weather is the worst enemy.

As the blizzard hit, Boris pulled the patrol back.

The outside temperature has dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius, and even if you put on a thick winter military uniform, it is not much use, not to mention that it is still early autumn in Moscow.

Could Churkin have expected this blizzard?

Wearing a thin autumn coat and going deep into Siberia, and encountering a rare snowstorm, isn't it looking for death?

So, what else do you need to worry about?

All it takes is a little patience.

In a few days, when the blizzard has passed, send out the patrol and maybe find the transport plane that crashed nearby, as well as Churkin who froze into popsicles.

Now all you have to do is stay in a warm room and sit next to a blazing fire.

Actually, Boris couldn't figure it out, why did Tupolev come to this hellish place?

Tupolev didn't say, and Boris wasn't stupid enough to ask.

While Boris was enjoying the fire at the base control center, Tupolev went to the base's underground warehouses.

Although the temperature on the ground has dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius, the temperature in the underground warehouse is much higher, around minus 10 degrees Celsius.

The base was built in the sixties of the last century.

At that time, affected by the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union built dozens of strategic bases in Siberia in preparation for a world war with the United States.

This base is one of them.

Throughout the Soviet period, the base was used to store heavy weapons such as tanks, artillery, and helicopters, but mainly second-hand goods that had been withdrawn from the troops.

At the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, 500 main battle tanks, 1,000 armored fighting vehicles, 800 self-propelled guns and hundreds of thousands of guns of various types were stored here.

Although all the tanks were taken away during the Russian era, and some were sold to other countries, hundreds of armored fighting vehicles and hundreds of artillery pieces remained.

As for the guns, they were all disposed of as scrapped.

Now all this equipment is Tupolev's personal property.

The cost of "buying" these arms is nothing more than a few dozen gold bars used to bribe officials.

Tupolev came here to process an order.

A few months ago, Tupolev signed a contract worth fifty million dollars with a mercenary.

He had to send 10 infantry fighting vehicles, 10 self-propelled howitzers and 10,000 AK rifles to the Black Sea port at the end of October and load them onto the cargo ships waiting there.

Although there is still a month to go, it is already very tense when it comes to shipping.

Actually, it's a small deal.

It's just that Tupolev didn't dare to be careless at all.

Quite simply, if you don't deliver the goods on time, not only will you not get the final payment, but you will also be hunted down by mercenaries.

Tupolev never took Russian officials seriously, but he would never offend a group of mercenaries who did not want to die, let alone Russian mercenaries!
