765 Second departure
In the afternoon of the next day, the US military base. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ye Han walked into the American reception room again, and James, who had been waiting in the reception room for a long time, immediately stood up, saluted Ye Han very formally, and said something in a very formal manner.
Ye Han returned the salute politely.
He didn't know what James was saying, but military salutes were a common language among military personnel.
Zhang Ruo, who accompanied the entourage, translated: "Colonel James said that the United States highly appreciates your heroic performance in saving 48 US soldiers during the evacuation operation, and Colonel James would like to express his heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of the 48 US officers and soldiers and their families, you are a true and noble soldier." ”
Ye Han was very strange about Zhang Ruo's attitude, this kid is not usually in this style, what's wrong today?
James' respectful attitude made Ye Han very useful, but he had long passed the age of frivolity, so he responded very calmly: "This is what I should do, I personally appreciate the bravery of your officers and soldiers." ”
The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and a piece of meat cannot be dropped by saying two good words.
James saluted, turned around and took a delicate box from the American translator, opened it and held it in his hand to Ye Han and said a word.
Zhang Ruo immediately translated: "This is a medal personally awarded by the President of the United States, and time is in a hurry, so everything is simple." ”
Ye Han took this delicate little box and smiled very face-givingly: "Thank you, it's beautiful." ”
James replied, and Zhang Ruo translated: "Colonel James said that your merits are worthy of such a medal." ”
Ye Han covered the box and turned around and handed it to Zhang Ruo: "Help me hold it." After saying that, he turned to face James, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, how is General Thomas?" ”
After listening to the translator, James pursed his lips and said something, Zhang Ruo translated: "Colonel James is now the temporary head of the US military forces in Africa. ”
Ye Han was shocked: "How is General Thomas?" ”
Zhang Ruo listened to James's words while interpreting: "Lieutenant General Thomas lost contact with the base last night, and communication was briefly restored in the early hours of this morning, the situation in the cave is very bad, the troops have been scattered by spider ants, but I have not received any news from Lieutenant General Thomas...... The U.S. military base is actively contacting in hopes of getting an update on the situation in the spider hole...... If General Thomas and the troops involved in the war are already unfortunate, there is a possibility that the international fleet will use nuclear weapons. ”
"God forbid!" Ye Han said with a particularly pious expression.
He does not believe in any religion but respects the beliefs of others.
The short conversation ended, and when Ye Han left, he passed by the airport of the US military and happened to see a familiar black man repairing the plane.
He was shocked, wasn't this kid the pilot from yesterday? How did you issue and repair the plane?
The off-road vehicle drove past the airport, leaving the black mechanic far behind, although Ye Han was puzzled, he didn't think deeply.
After returning to the base, Ye Han reported the trip to Zhuang Bo in detail, and Zhuang Bo was silent for a moment after listening: "After suffering such a big loss, it is impossible for the Americans to just forget it...... Keep an eye on U.S. military bases to see what else they can do. ”
"Yes!" Ye Han replied.
The Americans moved quickly, and in the evening of the same day, a convoy of incoming transport planes arrived in Djibouti with a reorganized airborne battalion drawn from the United States, totaling 700 people.
The arrival of the personnel was only the first step, and that night, planes from the other side of the Atlantic came in waves, and the airport was full of military supplies that had not had time to be transferred.
Ye Han didn't know how many motorized infantry there were in the United States, but in order to rescue the trapped people, he directly sent a battalion over, which was indeed far beyond his expectations.
This is an American GI who has done everything right, not a multinational force of mixed good.
Moreover, the Americans are also equipped with a lot of new equipment that Ye Han has never seen before, and they can't name it at all, so they don't need to ask to know that the spider ants have already provoked the Americans, and the US military has made a bloody effort to get the field back.
Ye Han always observed the U.S. military with a bystander mentality, but he never expected that two transport planes from China would actually land at midnight that day, bringing four armored vehicles and other equipment urgently needed by the Marine Corps.
Zhuang Bo conveyed the domestic order to Ye Han, asking Ye Han to lead the troops to re-enter the spider cave and assist the US army in rescuing the trapped people.
Ye Han couldn't believe his ears: "Commander, what's going on?" How much ecstasy soup did the Americans pour into the northern capital? ”
"Do you need to ask? It must be an exchange of interests, but I don't know what conditions the Americans offered. Zhuang Bo analyzed, "Don't think so much, at the moment, except for our Marine Corps, the Americans can't find anyone who has entered the cave at all, who will they go to if they don't look for you?" ”
"Hey, what's going on?" Ye Han sighed.
"Anyway, you give me a little more care." Zhuang Bo said.
Ye Han smiled: "You just put your heart back in your stomach." ”
Zhuang Bo didn't say anything more, and told Ye Han to hurry up and leave on his own.
Ye Han did not rush to convey the order, but called the soldiers out to receive the equipment, and worked until more than nine o'clock in the evening before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, the U.S. military was ready to go, and the task force received a request for assistance from the U.S. military, and Ye Han reluctantly organized the troops to board the plane and stand by.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, two companies of the US military boarded the plane and set off, and the Chinese plane also took off at the same time.
Ye Han received the latest information from the US military on the plane.
Earlier, the trapped Spider Cave's multinational forces conducted brief communications with US military bases, getting an update on the situation of the trapped troops.
The multinational force suffered heavy casualties, more than a third of its personnel were killed, and more than 400 people are still trapped, and Thomas was lucky enough to be slightly wounded but still alive.
The core of the U.S. battle plan is rescue, and there is no other focus.
At about 9 a.m., the space fleet began bombing the spider ants hovering near the spider hole, opening up a landing ground for the upcoming rescue operation.
After more than half an hour of indiscriminate bombardment, with the spider hole as the center, not a single intact tree could be found within a radius of five kilometers, and there was gunpowder smoke and the corpses of spider ants everywhere.
As soon as the bombing was over, the group flew over the spider hole, and all the troops carried out the airdrop as planned.
Because the space fleet blew up the landing field, this time the airborne landing was very smooth, and after Ye Han and his troops landed, all the personnel completed the assembly in only five minutes.
Although the assembly was completed, Ye Han did not rush to set off, but patiently waited for the US troops to assemble.
