Chapter Twenty-Three: Immeasurable Merit
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
"Woo-woo-" The motor roared violently, and more than two dozen luxury cars instantly started and accelerated to two hundred yards in a few seconds. The formation lined up on both sides of the runway, the snipers all adjusted their positions, and the optical scopes stared at the tightly closed landing gear baffle.
The plane slowly fell, getting closer and closer to the ground, seven hundred meters...... 600 meters...... 500 meters......
"Snipers are prepared to look for favorable shooting opportunities to shoot freely, but they must be careful to avoid the transmission structure in the landing gear and ensure the safety of the tires."
"Understood......" A response was transmitted through the headset.
The sports car should accelerate as much as possible, but it is also necessary to ensure the stability of the body. The conditions of sniping are very harsh, and even a breathing rate can affect the accuracy of shooting.
Each of the people who can be sent to carry out this mission is an experienced ace, and any ace sniper is as difficult to train as an Air Force pilot. Even if the plane is as slow as possible, it is still much faster than a sports car.
The snipers were engrossed in calculating the deviation of the trajectory, and as the altitude became lower and lower, the snipers did not have a chance to shoot. Or maybe for a moment but hesitate.
When a shot is fired, the outcome is no longer something they can control, the other party is not an enemy, and they can make up for it after one shot. If you miss a shot, there may be no room for recovery.
When the altitude dropped to three hundred meters, someone finally opened fire. With a muffled gunshot, the bullet spun and shot towards the landing gear baffle. A burst of sparks exploded, and the bullet hit the baffle with precision.
"Hit, great, who fired the shot?" The major general of the command room waved his hand excitedly.
"It is Captain Chen Jianjun, and he is also known as the best sharpshooter since the founding of the People's Republic of China in the Northern Military Region." The major on the side whispered.
"Oh no, the bezel hasn't been opened!" On the radio, the captain of Air Airlines 248 let out a panicked scream.
"How is that possible?" The major general couldn't believe this result, not to mention the landing gear jamming, even if the shot was locked, the landing gear could be opened. However, all theories burst like a bubble in the face of facts.
"The plane is running out of fuel, and I can't pull it up again! Please take advantage of the opportunity, I will try to control the speed of the landing! The captain sent another message over the radio.
One chance is already so rare, let alone another one? Sniping in such conditions and seizing a fleeting opportunity is as difficult as winning the five million lottery. Not to mention Chen Jianjun, who has already succeeded once, even other ace snipers don't have the courage to make another big gamble. That small baffle blocked the way for more than 300 people to survive.
"Report!" A clear voice came from the headset.
"Say!" The major general had a gloomy face and shouted in a low voice.
"According to my observations, the nose landing gear was not accidentally stuck, but someone artificially welded the landing gear baffle!"
"Bastard, do you know what you're talking about? The landing gear is artificially welded? So how did the plane get into the air? It's all good to take off, do you want to say that someone is working at height without knowing it? What's your name? Which troops? โ
"Report, Sky Wolf Special Operations Brigade, Decree of the Intelligence Section! It is true that the weld is man-made, and the welding scar is at the opening of the nose landing gear, which is twenty centimeters long and grayish-brown! โ
"Playing the piano...... Wait a minute...... Can you see that? โ
"Yes! I can see it, waiting for a shooting opportunity! โ
"What are you going to do?" The Major General held his breath and asked with a solemn face.
"Shoot the welding scar horizontally, and if the welding scar is not removed, even if we smash the landing gear baffle into pieces, the landing gear inside will definitely be damaged, and the crisis will still be irreparable."
"How sure are you?" Whether the major general believes it or not, it seems that this is already the last chance, the height of the plane is less than 100 meters above the ground, and the limit of 50 meters is within the blink of an eye.
"Seventy percent of the shots, once I catch the shooting opportunity, I will shoot immediately......"
The Major General did not continue to speak, time had not allowed him to continue communicating with the mysterious sniper, and if he missed the shot once he was distracted, he would be a sinner for the ages.
The planes were getting lower and lower, the sports cars were speeding underfoot, and many snipers who had lost their shooting conditions left the runway. Only three or four snipers were still in pursuit.
In dynamic vision, the aircraft is in a relatively stationary position. The welding scar in front of him was still horizontal in front of Mo Ziqi's eyes, and the environmental factors of the real shooting had a great influence. Even if Mo Ziqi was hanging open, he was still not completely sure.
Try to keep your breathing even, and adjust the angle through the scope in a matter of seconds. The altitude of the plane was reduced to less than fifty meters, which seemed to have passed the limit height of the landing gear.
Sweat overflowed from the forehead of the captain of Air Airlines 248, and he looked at the height on the dial with a desperate grayness. It's too late for such a height......
"Bang-" At the last moment, Mo Ziqi finally seized the opportunity to shoot in a few tenths of a second. The bullet burst out of the rifling and shot at the landing gear of the plane with a column of smoke.
There was no spark, no movement. The bullet grazed the weld scar, and a white paint band along the thin invisible slit.
"Missed?" The Major General asked in despair, and the faces of everyone on the radio turned as pale as paper.
But Mo Ziqi showed a happy smile, others couldn't see it but there was nothing to hide under his eyes, the welding scar had disappeared after being peared by the bullet. In this shot, the bullet was like a file that broke a twenty-centimeter welding scar.
"The landing gear is restoredโ" The captain's cry of surprise suddenly sounded.
"What?" The major general shuddered and hurriedly looked at the plane, even if he didn't need a telescope, he could see that the tightly closed landing gear was slowly opening, and the dark wheels were slowly poking out.
"Great, who is he...... Imperial order? If you report your merits to the Military Commission, you must repay themโ"
"Air 248, please report your flight altitude and landing time, can the landing gear be fully extended?"
"The height is only ten meters, and the landing gear is 70 percent protruding, I'm afraid it's dangerous!" The captain's voice was clearly not as anxious as Fang Cai. After all, the biggest crisis has been lifted, and the hope of survival is at hand.
"It's good to pull it up a little bit, even if it's a fraction of a degree."
"Understood, I'm trying."
Everyone held their breath again, the plane was still landing mercilessly, whether it was in the power tower or the staff in the airport, all of them were watching the battered plane fall little by little.
"Click-" A soft sound sounded almost at the same time as the plane landed. The plane landed smoothly on the runway without rolling over, and quickly skimmed the runway and finally came to a slow stop in front of the signal tower.
It wasn't until the plane came to a stop that everyone really put their minds at ease. Thrilling and dangerous, the plane was finally saved.
Before the boarding ladder was fully lowered, passenger No. 248 had already run out cheering. The moment they set foot on the earth again, they felt a sense of steadiness that they had never felt before.
It was in this moment that they realized how beautiful it was to be alive. More than two dozen snipers lined up and ran in a neat row. The sharp-witted reporter seized the opportunity and hurriedly snapped the photo.
Unable to keep their cool any longer, the family members rushed into the airport screaming and hugging their nearly lost loved ones. Reporters also took advantage of the situation to rush in to cover this exciting moment, and the whole airport was boiling in an instant.
"Thank you to the government, thank you to the party! We are even more grateful to those PLA soldiers who rescued us, thank you, sincere thank you! A passenger said with sincerity in an interview.
Almost every passenger was surrounded by journalists, both domestic and foreign. Everyone expressed their sincere gratitude to the PLA soldiers who participated in the operation, and even entrepreneurs said in front of the media that they would give a million thanks to the soldiers who successfully fired that shot.
But how can ace snipers be touched, even if they have the heart to say thank you, it is absolutely impossible! After the crisis was resolved, more than two dozen snipers gathered in a hidden office. Wait for specialized helicopters to send them to their respective units.
"Comrades have worked hard!" The Major General pushed open the door with a big smile.
"...... for the people" The voice stopped abruptly, and Mo Ziqi looked at the motionless comrades-in-arms around him with a puzzled face, and instantly understood that he had said the wrong thing.
"Hahaha......" The laughter broke out after half a second, "Brother, this is not a military parade, let's not do this." Chen Jianjun patted Mo Ziqi's shoulder and smiled.
"Okay, don't laugh, it's been less than a year since people ordered to join the army!" The major general strode in front of Mo Ziqi, "Good guy, good job!" Your shot is amazing, but ...... Did you really see clearly in that situation? โ
"Report, you can't be wrong-"
As soon as the words fell, the major who had been following the major general hurriedly ran over, "The reason is clear, there are indeed welding scars on the baffle of the landing gear, according to the test, it should be Poseidon metal." โ
"Poseidon metal? The name of the god of water! The Major General was slightly puzzled.
"Metals with very low melting points need to be cooled to solidify, but once solidified, they will have strong toughness, and the colder they are, the higher their hardness, and the temperature will drop to dozens of degrees below zero when the plane is flying at high altitude. Because of this feature, the aircraft will be normal when it takes off and has problems when it lands. โ
After listening to the major's explanation, the group suddenly understood. But after that, the matter is far from over. Since this is not an accident but a careful plan, the matter will not end until the culprit is found.
"Report to the Military Commission and characterize this incident as a terrorist attack!"
Returning to the grassland by helicopter, Mo Ziqi, who was familiar with the road, returned to the base again after two hours. After reporting to Nian Qiu first and then reporting the detailed process to No. 1 together, Mo Ziqi was idle and idle.
"Hammer, where did you die?" The dormitory was empty, a pile of scrap metal was missing, and after picking up the layers of garbage, Mo Ziqi finally saw a hammer like a sun-dried eggplant.
