Chapter 3: The Assassin in the Shadows (Part 3)1

"Listen, lay down your arms, lie on the ground and surrender, we will guarantee your personal safety in accordance with international law, otherwise we have the right to open fire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" A third-class Lu Zuo of Lu Zi shouted at the Admiralty motorized infantry who were waiting on the opposite side with a loudspeaker, but his heart was not as relaxed as it seemed on his face, although he had these two Type 10 main battle tanks with loaded shells behind him, but in the face of only thirteen infantrymen, he still had no bottom in his heart.

Ten minutes ago, a "Albatross" transport plane belonging to the Admiralty suddenly burst into Japan's airspace from outside the atmosphere and landed at an altitude of less than 2,000 meters from Haneda Airport. After finding out the destination address of this line-up, the chief of staff personally ordered the squadron commanded by this third-class Lu Zuo to be stationed at the gate of the hospital affiliated to the Kyoto University Medical Center, wanting to capture all these people, but after listening to the previous battle report, from this third-class Lu Zuo to the lowest third-class Lu Shi's heart in the squadron, was cold, wow cool wow cool. This group of people can take down the F-2 support fighters, so what can we do with just a few of us?

"I warn you too." Ye Kexin, who was standing in front of the motorized infantry of the two squads, also shouted with a loudspeaker, "Give you ten numbers and leave quickly, I promise that I will not pursue, otherwise I will let the ship's weapons open fire and directly bombard this place, I will do what I say!" ”

Third-class Lu Zuo broke out in a cold sweat, of course he knew what the shipboard weapon that Ye Kexin was referring to was, the electromagnetic railgun mounted on the space battleship, if this cannon was launched, let alone bombing this place, it would be more than enough to blast out a crater.

"Ten." Without waiting for the third-class Lu Zuo to speak, Ye Kexin began to count.

"Wait, wait, you don't want to hurt the innocent." The third-class Lu Zuo began to panic a little, and his tone of voice softened completely.

"Nine." Ye Kexin didn't eat oil and salt, and continued to count.

"I'm talking about you." Third-class Lu Zuo broke out in a cold sweat.

"Eight, seven, six, five・・・・・・" Ye Kexin, who was angry, didn't listen to anything, just counted and said to himself, and a frigate in space that had already charged the electromagnetic railgun was waiting for Ye Kexin's order.

"Four, Three, Two・・・・・・"

"Hey, the person you're looking for is still in the hospital." Third-class Lu Zuo shouted like crazy, "Withdraw, let's withdraw quickly!" ”

"Huh?" Ye Kexin was stunned for a moment, looked at the Lu Zi squadron that was hurriedly withdrawn, couldn't help sighing, and said into the microphone to the frigate in space, "Change the order and start the airborne." ”

"Airborne, the order has been confirmed." One of the crew members said to the captain who was sitting in the captain's seat.

"Let those who are ready go down first." The middle-aged captain let out a long breath, just now he was still thinking that even if there was an order to let him fire, he would not really let the crew press the enter button. Now it just so happens that airborne is better than shelling.

"Got it, sir." One of the crew responded, "Airborne preparation module, this is the bridge." ”

"Airborne preparation module understood."

"Prepare to start the airborne." The crew said into the microphone, "Forty seconds later, it will be in orbit." ”

The crew shook a few knobs on the console in front of them, and then pressed a few more control buttons. The first mate, who controls the movement and attitude of the battleship, is tapping the keyboard with both hands, calculating the parameters that do not need to be processed by the computer, and then leaving it to the computer to process the subtle adjustments to the attitude of the battleship.

"The airborne preparation capsule is ready."

"Airborne in five seconds." After tapping on the mechanical keyboard with both hands, the crew said into the microphone, "Five, four, three, ready, the airborne begins." Then I clicked the "Y" key.

In the airborne chamber located on the right side of the frigate, thirty K-51M individual spaces broke through into the airborne capsule of the atmosphere and were sent into the push pipeline, and as the layers of protection devices of the pipeline were unlocked, the rear of the airborne cabin began to be injected with high-pressure gas and entered the ejection state. As the controller pressed the "Y" button, the high-pressure gas was ignited by sparks, and thirty airborne capsules were pushed out of the push pipe by the strong blast at the same time, like old-fashioned gunpowder rifles, and each airborne pod was like a lead projectile trying to shoot at a small island on the blue planet.

The airborne capsule began to enter the atmosphere, the outermost heat-insulating ceramics and the atmosphere burned out extremely high heat, the original dark gray ceramics turned out a fishbone-like white under the action of high temperature, and the temperature indicator in the airborne capsule rushed upwards layer by layer, reaching forty-two degrees Celsius in just a few seconds. This is not the most uncomfortable place, if it is just a high temperature, as long as you twist your body a few times, it is estimated that it will not be so uncomfortable, but in order to prevent the paratroopers in the airborne cabin from being injured when they break through the atmosphere, the institute specially designed a fixed device to fix the paratroopers tightly on the seats, which makes the paratroopers have to withstand the torture of high temperatures, which makes the individual quality of paratroopers generally stronger than ordinary motorized infantry.

The paratroopers are also equipped with different motorized infantry, they are all-round masters who can hold any position in the squad, whether it is empty-handed combat, equipment fighting, pistol shooting, rifle shooting, long-range sniping, melee raids, these paratroopers who have been selected and tested countless times can be competent, it can be said that the individual combat ability of these paratroopers is second only to the TSAS special service members in the infantry combat system in the fleet, plus the TSAS special service members do not appear often and directly under the direct command of the fleet commander, Therefore, everyone generally agrees that the space paratroopers are the trump cards in the space infantry combat system, and such aces can often be defeated by one against ten, which is a bit like the dragoons in the Hundred Years War, and a bit like Sparta defending the Thermopila Pass.

Airborne operations are full of uncertainties, and the Special Tactics Research Office of the Research Institute once made this analogy, "If you know what will happen after you are airborne, then you must also know what will happen when you enter a black hole." Although such a metaphor is extremely exaggerated, it realistically reflects the unknown dangers in airborne operations. Even if someone crashes to the ground at a speed of 90 meters per second because a protective capacitor less than a centimeter in length on the airborne capsule burns out, causing the reverse booster to fail to ignite, this is just a common thing when the paratrooper unit is first formed, although the probability of such a thing happening after technological innovation is almost zero. But it is clear that the accidents in airborne operations are not the only ones, this is just one of the many problems encountered before, such as being shot down by the enemy's automatic air defense weapons during the airborne process, such options can be said to be many, you must know that the accuracy of the current automatic defense weapons is very high, such as MK15 "Phalanx" This kind of close defense rapid-fire gun can easily beat the airborne cabin with only one centimeter thick titanium alloy combat plate, which can be used as a reference in the movie "Super Battleship". This support airborne landing can be said to be the safest.

"Ten seconds to get to the ground, sir." The crew reported to the captain.

"I see, turn on the reverse booster and reduce the speed of the landing of the airborne capsule." The captain nodded slightly after hearing the crew's report, and then gave instructions.

"Yes, sir." The crew started typing on the keyboard again, and then clicked enter.

At this time, all 30 airborne capsules have entered the atmosphere, the hot high temperature scorching has ended, the air refrigeration system in the airborne cabin is opened, and the cold air at high altitude is sucked into the airborne cabin, and the suction valve is closed when the indicator on the temperature indicator table drops to 25 degrees. When there were still six thousand meters above the ground, the reverse boosters on both sides of the airborne capsule began to ignite, and the huge thrust slowed down the descent of the airborne capsule in an instant, but the speed of up to 90 meters per second was not something that could be lowered in a moment and a half. The reverse booster ignited continuously for nearly five seconds, and the airborne capsule was already very close to the ground, and the paratroopers began to visually measure the distance from the ground, and at the same time turned on the shock absorption system of the airborne capsule to prepare for the collision.

"Enter the fifty-meter countdown." The crew said to the paratroopers into the microphone.

"Forty meters to go." The paratroopers began to operate the simple instrument panel in front of them, turning on the shock absorption system and the individual weapon module.

"Thirty meters to go." The paratroopers all took care of the fastening devices that fastened their shoulders and put on shock-absorbing poses that they had practiced countless times during training.

"Twenty meters to go." The crew closed all the safety locks in the airborne preparation compartment.

"Ten meters to go."

"Hit the ground." The crew wanted to report to the captain, and then looked at the heart rate chart displayed on the reluctant display screen, "The vital signs of all the crew are stable, and no one was injured." ”

"I see." The captain nodded, and then clicked a red button on the armrest of the captain's seat, "Sir, the paratroopers are in place." ”

"I see." Ye Kexin responded to the report of the captain of the frigate with the communicator on the watch on his wrist, and then changed the communication channel, "Paratroopers, where are you?" ”

"Already in place at the entrance of the hospital, sir." The paratroopers led responded to Ye Kexin's question.

"Very good, lock down the hospital, no one is allowed to enter or leave, if the Self-Defense Forces let you leave, open fire directly, no need to ask for instructions and no need to reply, the first wave uses tranquilizer bombs, if the Self-Defense Forces return fire, I approve the use of lethal bullets."

"Understood." The paratrooper officer at the head nodded, and then shouted to the paratroopers around him, "Disperse immediately, find cover, and prepare for battle." The two of you set up a card at the entrance of the hospital, and if the ambulance is verified before it can be released, other vehicles will be stopped. ”

"Yes." The paratroopers responded in unison, and then immediately dispersed.

At this time, the entrance of the hospital was already surrounded by onlookers, and there were only nearly 500 people in sight, and the police cars were speeding at the door of the hospital, which did not pay attention to the paratroopers of the Admiralty Fleet Martial Law Hospital, but immediately took care of the surrounding public order, pulled up a cordon, and isolated the onlookers to a block away, Lu Zi's two helicopters hovered over the hospital, and Air Zi's F-2 support fighters were fully armed, flying over the hospital from time to time, and Haizi's "Atago"-class Aegis missile destroyer anchored into Tokyo Bay. The ship's guns were ready to fire at all times. A short time later, a television news helicopter flew over the hospital and circled with the ground gunship, and the photographer on board leaned out of the fuselage and filmed the paratroopers in the hospital with a camera on his shoulder.

At the same time, when the situation outside the hospital was tense and the battle was about to break out, Ye Kexin was sitting in the conference room of the hospital, staring at Dr. Toyama who was sitting a little uncomfortable opposite, as the oldest surgeon in the hospital, Genji Toyama can be described as experienced, not only experienced in surgery, but also has his own unique insights in dealing with people, and this insight will always handle Toyama Genji's interpersonal relationship extremely smoothly. There is hardly a doctor in the hospital who does not respect him, the nurses nod and say hello every time they see him, and the patients who have been operated on by him are also grateful to her, and Dade is like a new parent. Only this time, the girl sitting opposite Genji Toyama brought her a great pressure, but he was a little out of breath, and the previous "unique opinion" could not play its due role at this time.

"Well, you said your name was ・・・・・・" Toyama Genji held back for a long time before he spoke, but when he opened his mouth, he forgot the other party's name.

"Ye Kexin." Ye Kexin said coldly, "We don't have much time, you only have two choices for this proposal of mine, one is to agree, the other is to disagree, if you agree, we will leave immediately, but if you don't agree, we will start robbing people." ”

"You want to calm down, Miss Ye Kexin." Toyama Genji, who has studied Chinese for several years, said to Ye Kexin with an inauthentic Chinese accent, "It's not that I don't want to agree, the price you gave is very reasonable, and even a little excessive, but I really can't agree, after all, the patient is now being monitored in the intensive care unit, and the danger period has not passed, and the operation just now is just to take out the warhead, and there will be a pulmonary resuscitation operation in ten minutes, and you are asking to take the patient away now・・・・・・ I will be responsible for each of my patients to the end, It doesn't matter what it is. ”

"I know it's your obligation." Ye Kexin waved his hand impatiently, "But I don't believe that the hospital's defense level meets my requirements, if you want to keep him here, you must promise me that all the people on the floor where the intensive care unit is located will be emptied, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without my warrant." What do you think of this proposal? ”

"This ・・・・・・" Toyama Genji made a difficulty, on the one hand, he really didn't want to hand over Ye Zifeng, after all, keeping such a serious patient would bring great benefits to the hospital once it was cured, but Ye Kexin's condition was very difficult to accept, you must know that there are nearly twenty beds on one floor, and the floor where the intensive care unit is located is full of some VIP wards with high fees, and those rich people who are willing to go to the hospital to lie down if they have nothing to do are very satisfied with the free space created by the hospital for them, If such a floor is emptied, the hospital's income in the VIP ward will be greatly reduced, and I am afraid that I, the director of surgery, will not have good fruit to eat. After thinking about it, Genji Toyama decided to bargain.

"You see, we have six VIP wards at both ends of the corridor, and the rest of the spaces are under martial law by you."

"Nope." Ye Kexin's answer was categorical.

"What about the four?" Genji Toyama asked tentatively.

"I said no." Ye Kexin was a little impatient.

"It really can't be accommodating, this VIP ward is an important source of income and expenditure for the hospital." Toyama Genji was a little unwilling, but if he continued to negotiate as such, the final result would be that the other party would take this cash cow away.

"It's not accommodating at all, his value is much higher than ・・・・・・" Ye Kexin didn't finish speaking, and a sudden gunshot outside the window interrupted her words.

"Go see what's going on." Ye Kexin waved a motorized infantry behind him and said, the motorized infantry nodded, strode to the window, and looked down.

"It was the commanders of the paratroopers who exchanged fire with the Ground Self-Defense Force." The motorized infantry, who was probing the situation, reported.

"I see." Ye Kexin nodded.

5.56mm rifle bullets flew dirt chips from the hospital's exterior walls, and anti-aircraft machine guns on infantry fighting vehicles spilled 7.7mm small-caliber machine gun bullets onto the shelters where the paratroopers were hiding.

"Sir, what should I do?" One of the paratroopers next to the captain asked loudly, the sound of the machine gun firing was really deafening, the radio was full of crackling sounds, and if you didn't speak quietly, the sound of speech would soon be drowned out by the crackling noise.

"Change the live ammunition!" The captain ordered through the walkie-talkie.

"Is it really okay?" One of the paratroopers asked as he swapped magazines.

"Don't hit the vital points, but they can be incapacitated." The captain pulled the bolt to withdraw the tranquilizer cartridge from the chamber, and pushed a specially made 5.55mm rifle cartridge into the chamber, "Listen to my orders, and prepare to fire." ”

"Yes!" The paratroopers replied in unison, and all leaned against the wall behind them, waiting for the captain's order to fire.

Probably due to the number of bullets, the sound of the Type 89 assault rifle on the Self-Defense Forces side has become slightly sparse.

"Fire!" The captain shouted, he would not miss such an opportunity, the paratroopers behind the bunker immediately came up, holding the low recoil assault rifle in his hand, with the red dot sight on it aimed at the knee elbow or side waist of the Lu Zi soldier, and began to shoot, the Lu Zi soldier who had just changed the magazine had not had time to load the bullet and ushered in a rain of bullets, the pointed rifle bullets easily penetrated these non-critical parts, and the Lu Zi soldiers who were hit all threw away the assault rifles in their hands one by one, holding the wounded parts and began to scream loudly, Fortunately, the rest of the men immediately counterattacked, and the machine guns on the infantry fighting vehicles repressed the paratroopers back into their bunkers, and those who were not injured took advantage of the gap to pull the wounded behind the tanks and resumed their suppressive shooting at the hospital wall.

"Is there anyone hurt! Has anyone died! The captain checked the remaining bullets in the magazine, and asked a few habitual questions.

"No one in the command squad was injured and no one was killed." The captain shouted in the communication channel.

"No one in the demolition squad was injured and no one was killed." The demolition squad leader shouted in the communication channel.

"One person in the sniper squad was slightly injured, and no one was killed." The sniper squad leader shouted in the middle of the arrival of the communications corps.

"No one in the rescue squad was injured and no one was killed." The rescue squad leader shouted in the communication channel.

"Assault squad, no one was injured in the assault squad, ・・・・・・" Speaking of this, the assault squad leader hesitated a little, and the captain looked at the direction where the fifth squad was located and asked loudly.

"What's going on? Someone died? ”

"One person was killed." The assault squad leader's tone was deep and cold, "I was shot in the forehead by a machine gun bullet, and it has been confirmed that I have lost my vital signs and no heartbeat." ”
