Chapter 62: The Race Against Time (Part II)
Everything was figured out, but Duvald also knew clearly that the perverted and audacious pilot behind him would not give him another chance to report to his father Montan.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
The gun in Victor's hand rang out, and at the moment when the gun rang out, Duvald turned around with lightning, he was an Afghan warrior, a man who aspired to become an Afghan eagle like his father Montan, and for these men, it was a shame to be hit in the back by a bullet on the battlefield!
Bright blood flowers quickly bloomed from Deward's chest, Victor's eyes widened, he fired three shots in a row at such a close distance, obviously his chest had been beaten to bloody flesh, but this sniper still refused to fall, he slowly turned around under Victor's watchful eyes, and walked towards the hatch step by step.
Victor really couldn't imagine what kind of force supported this man, stepping off the helicopter step by step, leaving such a shocking blood mark on the ground.
Duvald looked at the direction of the small town of Afgoye stupidly, his father Meng Tan, who he trusted and respected the most, and was willing to defend with his life, was there to command the army to surround and intercept the young eagle and his party. No longer had the strength to support his body, his knees bent little by little, until he fell to his knees, "Daddy, I'm sorry, I'm going to make you sad." Daddy, I'm sorry, I can't follow you anymore, I'm going to follow this gust of wind and step into the gates of heaven......"
Consciousness became more and more blurred, and the unprecedented sense of powerlessness made everything in front of him fade more and more, until it was swallowed up by darkness, and there was no more color left, and at the same time, the heart in Deward's chest finally stopped beating. Even when he died, his body still maintained a repentant movement and refused to fall.
Victor walked up and searched for the satellite phone from Duvald's body, in the process, Victor's movements were very light and light, and it could even be said that it was almost gentle, which was an incredible thing for Victor, who was known as the "flying bear in the air" and was rude even if he slept with a woman.
After checking the phone's communication records, Victor disassembled the phone and took out the Inmarsat phone card without turning off the power. In this way, even if someone dials this satellite phone again, all they get is a reminder that the satellite positioning is interrupted and they cannot be connected.
After doing all this, Victor flew to the Mi-24 Hind helicopter in front of him.
He had already spent too much time in the surroundings of Duward, and he really didn't know if the Shimar group in the distance had been overtaken by the enemy forces ten or even a hundred times his size, and he didn't know if the Shimar group was still alive now. The only thing Victor knows is that from this moment on, he must use his own hands to race against time, and the faster he runs, the higher the chances of those brothers surviving!
Repair the mechanical damage on the helicopter with all the tools at your disposal, the pipe was broken by a bullet and there are no spare parts, it doesn't matter, in Victor's pocket, there are Cuban famous brand cigars that Victor brought from Himar, these cigars are wrapped in a thin layer of fine tin foil, remove them, wrap them in the pipe, bake the tin foil with a lighter, so that there is no gap between them and the pipe, and easily smear the chewing gum that has been chewing in his mouth for a few minutes, Although from the perspective of counterfeiting and shoddy, even China's real estate developers represented by Ren Mad Dog are dumbfounded and ashamed, but in any case, the pipe is also connected, and it can be regarded as connected, right?
During the emergency landing, the landing angle was not good, and the air filter was clogged with sand. Isn't there a high-pressure oxygen cylinder in the cabin, take it out, put the filter outside can effectively suppress the intake air irritability, reduce the resonance of the partition with the most brutal attitude directly two wrenches smashed down, and then lift the oxygen cylinder to the filter is a burst of blowing, although it is impossible to blow all the sand in the filter clean, but the biggest effect of this play is to effectively reduce the engine inhalation of particles into the cylinder, reduce the friction damage between the piston and the cylinder, now make do with it, it can also support hundreds of kilometers, right?!
The tail fin was grazed by a bullet, one of the fins was twisted badly, take a ladder to climb up, hit it a few times with a hammer, and then use pliers at a positive angle, you should be able to barely regain control, otherwise, do you really think that the phrase "simple is beautiful" in Russian military products is nonsense?
The battery pack was damaged by the bullet during the emergency landing, causing a local short circuit, although the battery was barely burned off, but now it is hot to death, and some positions have even appeared bulging, even if it is dried for an hour and a half, now reach out and touch it, it is still a little hot. This set of ancestors can not be ignored, if the helicopter flies into the air, they strike together, and all the instruments fail, that is a big joke.
A person has no mechanical assistance, trying to move these battery packs, it seems that he can't do it, Victor simply poured all the water he could find, along with his own soaked urine, on the battery pack, and then touched it, it seemed that it was not as hot as just now...... If the beasts and bricks in China see this scene, they will definitely attack Victor in groups, and refute Victor's audacity and cobbling together theoretically, exponentially, and empirically.
But this is the signboard of the ground crew of the Russian Air Force, and this is the maintenance method that the former Soviet army has naturally produced on the nine-year-long battlefield in Afghanistan, everything is based on practicality!
In the early days of the war in Afghanistan, the repair rate of the Mi-24 was only 70% for the ground crew of the former Soviet Air Force, but in the later stage of the war, as the ground crew became more and more experienced, the repair rate of helicopters exceeded 90%!
In the middle and late stages of the war, the economic system of the former Soviet Union had basically collapsed, and the army could never afford to lose by burning money like the US Air Force; once a helicopter was shot down on the battlefield, the operational efficiency and encouragement displayed by the maintenance team would be jaw-dropping even if it was a veteran special forces in the world.
If the entire helicopter crashed, if the whole plane could be repaired, it would naturally be a good luck, and the maintenance team would seize the favorable terrain in the enemy-occupied area, and rush to repair the plane while guarding it. After the repair is completed, all the staff retreat into the repaired helicopter and fly back to the nest together. If the helicopter is no longer able to take off again, or the damage is too serious, and the helicopter must be transported back to the base for overhaul, they will first remove some inconsequential and particularly heavy parts of the helicopter, and then use the Mi-8 helicopter, which can only lift up to 2,500 kilograms, to airlift the most important parts of the aircraft back to the base together with the shell!
Whether it's repairing the plane, flying it back to base, or hoisting the wreckage back with Mi-8 helicopters, the maintenance team has to do it before the Afghan guerrillas arrive and set up the Stinger shoulder-to-air MANPADS, otherwise they won't be able to get out of enemy-occupied territory alive.
Strong, courageous, united, adventurous, everything is based on practical results, and will never rest on its laurels and be bound by rules...... This is the Soviet army that fought with the United States for world hegemony more than 20 years ago, and both sides led the way and won and lost each other!
No one would have thought that Victor, who was sweating like rain and doing such perverted maintenance work, was thinking about a sentence in his heart: "Shi Shaoying, you Chinese kid is really good enough for table tennis!" (In the eyes of foreigners, China's strongest sport is table tennis, and when they praise someone for being very powerful and awesome, they will come up with the sentence 'It's like Chinese playing military pong!') Push the clock forward by ninety minutes...... As soon as Victor stepped off the helicopter, he was attacked by snipers, and the three of Himar, Victor and the uninvited Shi Shaoying were crowded under the helicopter, and it was in that few minutes that Shi Shaoying proposed a plan to eliminate the opponent's snipers.
After listening to Shi Shaoying's plan, the first feeling in Shimar's heart was that this kid Shi Shaoying must have an enmity with Victor, otherwise he would never have come up with this kind of trick to kill people with a knife! After Victor learned about Shi Shaoying's plan through Shimar's translation, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
That's right, he's very tough, and he can often do some amazing things, but it's too nonsense to let a pilot ambush an ace sniper who doesn't even need an observer and can complete the sniper mission on his own, even if the pilot is Victor, who is known as the "Flying Bear in the Air", right?!
"If we don't kill that gunman, we will be slaughtered by him one by one when we face the swarming motley army, and even if Victor is still alive and can still find a way to repair the plane, we will not be able to hold out until that time!"
What Shi Shaoying said was the truth, and Himar and Victor couldn't refute it at all.
A large number of rabble, mixed with a few ace snipers who can shoot their targets independently without even using observers, this is tantamount to hiding a needle in cotton, the most likely to sting people's palms, not to mention that this needle is also very long and particularly pointed!
"Look at this bullet again, and then look at the rough core in it, this is probably a five-six semi-automatic rifle bullet that has been eliminated by our country for nearly 40 years, and this kind of rifle and bullet is still used today, what does it mean?"
Without waiting for Himar and Victor to answer, Shi Shaoying said categorically: "Poor! ”
Shimar and Victor's eyes suddenly widened, and they said in unison: "That sniper is from Afghanistan!" ”
