Chapter 395: Deployment
(3rd Update!) Thank you to the book friend "ki47854" for their enthusiastic support, and strongly ask for collections and red tickets! The click on the first day of the classification map push is OK, but the collection is too weak)
Since the last time the pirates attacked, Duke's Gazelle helicopter was knocked out, Duke asked Bryant to purchase a new light helicopter instead, this time Bryant chose Hughes Helicopter OH-6C for Duke, which is an improved version of the Mi Army's nicknamed the "Indian Pony" light observation helicopter OH-6A, with a maximum flight speed of 322 km/h.
Because of its fast speed, small and lightweight shape, it is much more convenient than the Black Hawk in conducting reconnaissance in the target sea area.
The islands of the Maldives are almost all small islands a few meters high, and after the helicopter goes into the sky, it can quickly reconnoiter a large area of the target sea area, and if it arrives at the target sea area earlier, Duke can send this helicopter and the Black Hawk to observe the situation in the sea area first, and with the results of these two helicopter reconnaissance, Duke is not afraid of what tricks this gang of kidnappers will play.
If the other party had planted an ambush fleet in the sea area beforehand, Duke would not have been stupid enough to crash into it.
But if there were just some pirate stragglers hiding in the island jungle, Duke now had a small detachment of the Jiaolong Brigade elite forces in hand, and he was not afraid of these stragglers at all.
With the powerful firepower he has on his yacht now, even the well-armed pirates who attacked last time can easily take it down, let alone compete with this powerful elite team for the average pirate or kidnapper force.
Ten thousand steps back, as long as he did not encounter a real army, even if the opponent had any ambush, Duke could quickly evacuate through two helicopters under the cover of a yacht attack.
Duke's luxury yacht is heading at high speed towards its target area, and even if the luxury yacht is traveling at 32 knots, it will take several hours to reach the destination 400 kilometers away.
During this long voyage, after Duke asked for details about Dong Feng's abduction, he asked Xie Yunfeng to entertain the brothers of the Jiaolong Brigade, while he seized the time to rest, preparing to recharge his energy to meet this uncertain challenge.
Among the other cabins of the luxury yacht, Qu Feng and Gao Weilie were not so idle, they were busy sorting out the large amount of equipment they had brought to the yacht, so they declined Xie Yunfeng's hospitality, and after asking for some drinks, they politely invited Xie Yunfeng back to their VIP cabin.
There are a lot of heavy firepower in the weapons brought this time, not only a few light machine guns, but also the latest domestic heavy sniper rifles, portable rocket launchers, shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles, and even two light anti-ship missiles!
Although this light missile is not too big, that is, more than 2 meters long, if it hits the vital point, one is enough to reimburse a warship with a displacement of less than 4,000 tons!
This powerful firepower, let alone a pirate ship, even if it is a real warship, it will suffer a big loss if it is caught off guard. Old Man Liu really took great pains to ensure Duke's safety, and he spent a lot of money.
Now, what Qu Feng and Gao Weilie have to do is to equip these light and heavy firepower to the right place on the yacht, and turn this luxury yacht into an intimidating stealth warship in just a few hours.
The old guards such as Sauvez and Lex, who drove the luxury yacht, couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw the guards and equipment brought by Duke, this time the boss was really generous, these "new members" wearing the costumes of Du's international escorts, each of them were rare elite soldiers in the eyes of experts like Sovaz, not to mention that the weapons they were equipped with far exceeded the usual level of the "escort team".
Compared with the Chinese soldiers recruited by Duke, most of these new escorts can speak a certain amount of English, and there is no problem in communicating and cooperating with Sauvez and Lex.
After deploying the firepower equipment on the yacht, Qu Feng and Gao Weilie found Sovalz and Lex through Xie Yunfeng.
"Mr. Sauvaz," Qu Feng said in fluent English to the American counterpart, "our members are not very skilled in OH-6C operation, do you think you can send a pilot to accompany us?" ”
"No problem, Mr. Qu, Lex can fully cooperate with your actions." After listening to Xie Yunfeng's introduction, Sovaz knew that these were the real core of the boss's defense force in this operation, so he replied cleanly.
"The more than ten escorts we used to have on the yacht basically had light automatic weapons, and they also brought two bazookas, and Mr. Qu could command them in a unified manner." Although Sovalz is now the head of Duke's international security department, he simply relinquished command in the face of the elite escort team brought by Duke.
Qu Feng also unceremoniously took over the command, now he has the most people on the yacht, in order not to take care of one or the other in the face of unexpected situations, the forces of the two sides must be unified in command to unite into a whole.
"Mr. Sovaz, under normal circumstances, with the exception of Mr. Lex, you are responsible for keeping the yacht sailing normally, and only engage in combat in extreme cases." Qu Feng said, although he did not explain what an extreme situation was, but Sauvez was fully aware that Qu Feng would only consider involving this elite group of escorts in battle if they suffered heavy casualties.
It was a very logical choice, and although Qu Feng and Sauvez had no problem communicating with each other in terms of language, they didn't know anything about Sovalz's combat expertise, and it was undoubtedly a very risky decision to command an unfamiliar team in this small battlefield.
Sauvaz believed that when they were really needed, Qufeng would definitely hand over the command to him without hesitation. This was Sovalz's instinct as a military man.
Faced with two helicopters with very different styles, Qu Feng thought about it for a while, and deployed snipers on two helicopters, and on the OH-6C, two snipers were deployed, one of whom was a heavy sniper, for observation and guerrilla use.
After all, the OH-6C is small and can't fit a few people on it. The Black Hawk is different, on this large man, Qu Feng not only deploys machine gunners, heavy snipers, rocket launchers, and even a shoulder-fired missile, so that the Black Hawk helicopter has strong sea and ground attack firepower, as well as a certain air combat capability if necessary.
Qu Feng is a typical soldier, facing unknown battlefields and opponents, he would rather imagine his opponents to be stronger, although for a kidnapping gang, the chances of heavy firepower are slim to none, let alone expensive things like helicopters.
PS: A few words of verbose, this plot is not the Kavin water chapter that a reader said, but a transition that has an important impetus for the follow-up plot, a little spoiler, the main purpose of this book is not to make money, Bubble Girl, although this is also a very important part of it, more importantly, it is to realize Xiaofei's dream of a YY power, so the next business expansion of Duke will be intertwined with the strength of the military hawks. Duke's tech tree is rooted in the military, and it certainly won't be all useless ornaments. For the angry youth, it will definitely be more enjoyable to watch later.
