Chapter 52: People in the Rivers and Lakes (Part II)
(Demon Shao: August 1st on the shelves ~ while asking for recommended tickets, I also asked for a fixed reading and monthly passes, and I really asked for more and more, because it has become popular recently to "donate you m", don't say "please sister".) )
When the whole team finally arrived at the planned retreat place with Sikong Bowen, the hour hand on the watch had already pointed to half past five in the morning, and there was already a faint hint of fish-belly whiteness in the distant sky. It is only more than 200 kilometers away from the equator, but the night breeze is so cool and comfortable that it makes people feel refreshed, which greatly dilutes the heat brought by high-speed running.
Looking up, under the cover of night, a Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunship, which can not only suppress fire on the battlefield, but also serve as a personnel transportation mission, and is painted with tiger skin patterns all over its body, drew a hidden heaven and earth in the air, so it looked particularly graceful, and landed diagonally with the goal of the position where they stood.
The propeller rotated at high speed, and the air flow that rushed straight to the ground blew sand grains, hitting the hot pain in the face, boarding this Mi-24 helicopter gunship that could carry eight infantrymen, watching Sikong Bowen being placed in the most comfortable position in the cabin, wearing an army green blanket, sipping a hot drink that the pilot didn't know where to get it, a faint flush had appeared on his face, and his spirit was much better, and Shi Shaoying finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Sitting by a window string with the light machine gun in his arms, looking at the still churning flames on the south side of the Algov town, as soon as his body relaxed, twenty or thirty abrasions and scratches on his body, plus the contusions caused by jumping from a high altitude into the sea a few days ago, the mixed pain immediately became obvious.
Every part of his body hurt, so painful that even the little tail finger of his right hand was trembling slightly, Shi Shaoying slowly inhaled and curled up his body slightly.
Although the injuries on his body hurt, he is very young, and he will be fine after all.
The most important thing is that it is over, and his trip with Sikong Bowen in Somalia can finally come to an end.
Shi Shaoying turned his head and stared at Sikong Bowen's drooping face and her long, lightly beating eyelids. From the moment the two of them stepped into Mogadishu International Airport and Shi Shaoying was arrested and imprisoned, it has only been a short ten days, but the two of them have experienced I don't know how many life and death decisions, how many times they have survived, looking at Sikong Bowen's current appearance, soft, weak, as if it is a cherished little flower, but Shi Shaoying knows that when her injuries are healed and her physical strength is restored, once she encounters a suitable news project, she still cheers up, will pounce on it without hesitation like a pioneer officer who is not afraid of death.
We live in this world, unless we are looking for an island to hide in, self-sufficient, and never in contact with the outside world, otherwise, we need to make money to support our families, we need to develop our careers to improve our quality of life, and we need to gain the recognition and respect of others...... Countless ** and hope constitute a world that traps everyone and can't extricate themselves. Let everyone work hard and struggle day after day, year after year, in this whirlpool known as "red dust", until death comes.
The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, this is probably the so-called people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves.
A powerful big hand fell heavily on Shi Shaoying's shoulder, and Shimar then sat on the chair with Shi Shaoying, and the two men looked at the world outside the helicopter through the window string together, at such a close distance, looking at Himar's obviously bloodshot eyes, as well as the tiredness on his face that could not be concealed, he didn't need to ask to know that Shimar was not having an easier time these days than Shi Shaoying.
It is not easy to bring a mercenary and a hind helicopter into Somalia in such a short period of time, even if the country of Somalia is in a state of civil war and fragmentation.
Himar stretched out his hand and stroked the bulkhead of the helicopter, he showed a relieved expression on his face, wanting to invite mercenaries to enter a war-torn zone to rescue hostages is definitely one of the most extravagant money-burning behaviors in the world, even if he invited his brothers who had served in the same army, everyone took care of the old feelings, and gave a fairly favorable discount on the mercenary money, but with the purchase of weapons and equipment and the hourly rental of this helicopter, the ransom of hundreds of thousands of dollars was still spent cleanly, Even Hima Ben has been a war correspondent for several years, and the little wife book that he managed to save was also pasted together.
If the helicopter is shot down or injured in action, Himal's employer is contractually required to compensate him. Almighty Allah, the Mi-24 helicopter gunship is sold for as much as five and a half million US dollars, even if it deducts depreciation or something, let alone being shot down, even if a few bullets fly over and damage some important electronic components or instruments, it is enough to make Himar lose his family.
The all-metal semi-monocoque cabin suddenly tilted up, and the helicopter gunship, known as the "aerial infantry fighting vehicle", took off in the sand with a masterpiece...... Start the tail first, use the power of the tail to make the tail of the helicopter tilt up ten degrees, let the whole helicopter head and tail, only the first wheel of the helicopter touches the ground, support the whole weight, and then use the power formed by the rotation of the main propeller on the sand to push the entire fuselage to run on a single wheel.
If someone stood aside at this time and saw this scene, nine out of ten would exclaim, because as the fuselage tilted downward, the propeller that was more than ten meters long and rotating at high speed almost hit the ground.
Wrong!
The high-speed rotating propeller had already hit a few pieces of gravel protruding from the ground, otherwise, there would never have been a sudden flash of sparks in the darkness that made people feel shocking when they looked at it.
The helicopter, which is famous for its durability and durability, and has taken the philosophy of "simplicity is beauty" of the former Soviet Union's military products to the limit, even if the main propeller hits the stones on the ground, it has not been destroyed as people imagine, and under the operation of the pilot, the whole helicopter continued to glide on the sand for more than 40 meters with this strange attitude of head and foot, until it obtained enough upward momentum, the helicopter finally took off in the air with the roar of two high-power engines, and the cabin that has been tilting, Balance is restored.
The biggest reason why he used such a fatal "gliding" type to help take off was that the design concept of the "flying infantry fighting vehicle" of the Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunship had already proved to be imperfect in actual combat.
If the Mi-24 Hind helicopter is fully loaded with ammunition and fuel, the vertical climb performance will be seriously reduced, especially when taking off in the desert, the flying sand particles will affect the climbing effect of the helicopter. If you want to solve this design shortcoming, you must either reduce the amount of weapons, ammunition or personnel carried, or you must use this kind of distance glide and landing invented by some ace pilots on the Afghan battlefield!
