379 Don't abandon and don't give up
Theoretically, when the flight velocity generated by the descent reaches zero, it should fly exactly out of the burrow. However, the asteroid is irregularly shaped, the center of gravity is not located in the middle of the channel, and it is impossible to fly out of the hole after the inertia is completely canceled out.
However, as long as you open the propulsion device a little bit to increase your speed, you don't have to worry about falling back again before rushing out of the hole.
Not long after Ye Fei jumped into the cave, the black bear led a large group of soldiers into the cave, and built a broken bulkhead above the cave as a cover, so that even if the outer bone man rushed into the sixteenth floor, it would take a lot of effort to discover the mystery inside.
The speed of the descent is not fast, the distance of more than 200 kilometers is not so easy to fly, and when the last fighter jumps into the hole, the fighter who opened the road in front has not yet fallen to the center of mass.
The gravitational pull of the asteroid is simply too low.
"3221, speed up." One more second of stay in the asteroid, one more second of risk, Ye Fei directly issued a new order to the detachment that opened the way.
"3221 Roger, start thrusters!" The warrior's reply came back on the radio.
"3223 report, emergency, emergency, 3221's accelerated wake is reducing my speed, my speed is decreasing, start the thrusters...... 3224 Pay attention to acceleration! ”
Ye Fei's heart suddenly contracted: "All the vanguard detachments pay attention, be careful of the impact of the wake current, and pay attention to maintaining speed!" "Flying in low gravity does not require too much propulsion, whether it is a commando's flight bag or an ordinary warshipman's flight bag, it is a gas recoil flight device.
This kind of flying device uses high-speed ejected gas as the acceleration medium, and accelerates at the same time. The wake will inevitably affect the speed of the people in the rear, and if it is not corrected in time, it will not take long for the people who have been falling in a straight line to crash into a ball, and then the hole that goes straight up and down will be stuck as if they have intestinal obstruction.
Time is life, Ye Fei hurriedly turned on the public communication frequency: "All personnel pay attention, once you find an abnormal change in speed, immediately turn on the thruster to accelerate, if you don't know how to read the speed, pay attention to keep the distance between the front and back, give me a little nervous!" "How much of a warning to the whole can help. Ye Fei's heart was also bottomless.
But it is not his habit to do his best to obey the destiny of heaven. Ye Fei immediately issued a new order to all the commandos: "All units pay attention, make every effort to maintain the smooth flow of traffic!" ”
"Ha Luha, boss, why are we still making a cameo appearance as a traffic policeman?" The monkey didn't give face at all, and Ha Lu laughed. Bringing a lot of fighters didn't hold back. There was a burst of laughter in the communication frequency.
"Laugh at what a laugh. Be serious! What's wrong, see how I settle accounts with you! Ye Fei also felt that this statement was not very appropriate, but for a while, he couldn't find a more appropriate description. It can only be used.
Although the laughter still did not fade, everyone's attention had turned to speed, and for a moment the calls from all channels rang out.
Ye Fei left late, and he didn't have a line with the front and back, but there was no problem in this regard.
The diameter of the hole was not spacious, and no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't get past the people in front of him, so he could only fly slowly and honestly.
The continuous acceleration caused more and more air in the cave, although it will soon dissipate, but the effect on the speed is still very obvious, more and more people turn on the propulsion device in order to maintain the speed, and the speed of the whole team has increased a lot, greatly reducing the time to fly away from the asteroid.
"Report 3221, I'm out!" Suddenly, there was a cheer full of surprise in the communication. Ye Fei looked at the time, it was only an hour and a half!
It was expected to take four to five hours of flight time, but I didn't expect the pioneer detachment to get out of the hole so quickly.
"Call No. 1, the pioneer detachment has landed on the surface of the asteroid, the Yangtze River, Liuzhou and Pengzehu are all there, please indicate the next course of action."
Ye Fei groaned slightly: "Pioneer detachment, contact the supply ship, maintain order after handing over the wounded, and ensure that all the wounded enter the supply ship smoothly." ”
"Yes!"
The only field hospital on the supply ship with the best equipment and the most adequate medical personnel for the expeditionary force was far from being comparable to the medical services of the ships, and it was only there that the seriously wounded could receive the most appropriate treatment.
Originally, the field hospital was also going to be transferred to the interior of the forward base, but fortunately it was not too late.
The Pengzehu is huge, and there is no all-terrain landing device of the Liuzhou, so it cannot fly close to the surface of the asteroid, but fortunately, the gravitational pull of the asteroid is so low that the commando's flight bag may fly directly into the inside of the battleship.
So there was a strange scene on the asteroid, a beam of traction light shot by the supply ship Peng Zehu shrouded the exit of the hole, the soldiers continued to fly out of the hole, and after flying out of the hole, the propulsion device was immediately turned off at the request of the supply ship, and then flew to the supply ship suspended in the air under the drive of the traction beam, after entering the ship, the seriously wounded were first received by the field hospital, and transferred to the intensive ward by the medical staff, and the lightly wounded were placed in the general ward of the hospital to wait for a detailed examination, and the remains of the martyrs were received by a special person.
After all the wounded entered the supply ship, Ye Fei rushed up from the hole in the ground like a cannonball, he controlled himself to break away from the traction beam, slowed down and hovered above the asteroid: "Headquarters headquarters, the surviving personnel of the base have all been separated from the asteroid, our department reserves a nuclear bomb in the base, apply for a blasting base, repeat, apply for a blasting base." ”
"Ye Fei, I'm Lu Jian......" Lu Jian's voice was unprecedentedly serious, "Have you brought out all the martyrs?" ”
Ye Fei was stunned when he heard this: "Report, no, I only put the sixteenth floor ......"
"I don't want to hear an explanation, how did I give you the order?"
"If you want to see people in life and see corpses in death, at least you have to get evidence......" Ye Fei said quieter and quieter, and when he reached the end, he simply didn't dare to squeak anymore.
"Ye Fei, there are still more than six hundred soldiers whose lives and deaths are uncertain, how dare you apply to me to blow up the base?" Lu Jian slapped the table fiercely, "Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our army has never had a precedent of abandoning the remains of martyrs, do you want me to carry this black cauldron for you?" ”
"Report, no!"
"Do you still know the way?" Lu Jian was furious, "My mother sells shellfish." No matter what method you use, I will bring out the remains of all the martyrs, and if you die in it, I will fill it in. If you can't do it, Lao Tzu will remove you! Don't think that I don't know that there is no corroding ball in the outer bone mongrel, and the remains of any martyr cannot be missing. ”
"Yes!" After rescuing all the survivors before, Ye Fei was still a little proud in his heart, but Lu Jian's stinking scolding completely blew out that little bit of pride, and all that was left was grievances and silence.
"Don't you understand?" Lu Jian slowed his voice.
"Report, no."
"Fart." Lu Jian ruthlessly exposed Ye Fei's lies. "You are wronged. Aren't those martyrs more aggrieved than you? It's all on the line, and you don't even give an explanation? Swap it out that you are the survivor of a martyr, what do you think? What do you think if you throw your corpse to the Outer Bone Man and no one cares? Compare your heart to your heart! The heartbroken Lu Jian knocked his chest with a bang.
"Commander. It was me who was wrong. ”
"Needless to say." Lu Jian waved his hand with a calm face. "Blowing up the base is really an effective way to destroy the enemy's forces. But neither you nor I have the right to take the remains of hundreds of martyrs, who have died in their posts. I have done my best duty, my surname is Lu, and I must not let them fall into the hands of the outer bone people again, I understand. ”
The last sentence was shouted by Lu Jian with all the strength of his body, like a thunderbolt exploding in Ye Fei's ears.
"Commander, I understand, I'll execute it right away!" Ye Fei's heart was surging, "All pay attention, immediately return to the battleship to replenish the consumption, and prepare for the attack as quickly as possible...... Bring the plug-in weapon module, hurry! ”
The battlefield discipline of our army does not allow the loss of the remains of a martyr, let alone the loss of a wounded.
It seems unreasonable to risk burying the living for the sake of the remains of martyrs, but in history, in order to recover the body of a martyr, our army even did not hesitate to mobilize all the soldiers of regimental units to return to the battlefield to look for the remains of martyrs, and there are countless examples of sacrifices in order to snatch the remains of comrades-in-arms.
If the body is lost and cannot be recovered, it is not strange to ask the commander of the unit to ask him, and it is not a strange thing to be directly dismissed.
The bodies of all the martyrs were transported back to the rear, registered one by one, bathed, and buried separately. It's not like the rumors say that you can just find a place to bury it.
Some of the remains buried in situ must also be marked in a record so that they can be easily traced after the end of the fighting.
Except for the very special case where some of them were directly hit by enemy artillery fire and the body could not be found, in any other case, even if there was a piece of minced meat or a piece of bone, it must be picked up.
Lu Jian is not nitpicking to find fault with Ye Fei, but he can't fight, and he can't fight, and he will never give up the tradition of any warrior.
If you enter the interstellar age, you can give up the remains of martyrs, and it won't be long before even a living warrior can give up?
The First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force cannot open this opening, otherwise it will leave a bad case and may leave a routine in the follow-up warships that departed one after another.
"Call the bridge, please answer if you receive it." Ye Fei switched the communication frequency and called the Yangtze River.
"I'm the bridge, please!"
"Notify the logistics department and prepare for the supply immediately."
"Yes! Number one, still want to attack? Fu Hongye asked suspiciously.
"Don't ask so much." Ye Fei turned on the assembly signal, and his coordinates were immediately highlighted on the radar of all the team members, and the team members flew to Ye Fei's position from four hundred and eight directions.
After all the team members arrived, they roughly lined up, and the three captains began to count the number of personnel, and after making sure that no one was pulled down, the soldiers lined up and flew to the battleship of the Yangtze River not far away.
In front of the asteroid, the dinerial battle of the main force of the fleet is still ongoing, in order to cooperate with the upcoming operation, the main force of the expeditionary force launched a new round of firepower strikes, the two capital ships lowered their altitude, and used heavy artillery to bombard the gathered biological warships at a position almost level with the horizon, and the number of battle losses of the alien fleet skyrocketed, but there was still no intention of detaching.
"Hit me hard!" Lu Jian's eyes were red, "The harder we fight, the more we can drag the enemy's attention and create more fighters for Ye Fei." ”
Lu Jian silently stared at the biological battleship that bloomed like a dazzling salute on the screen, and said to himself silently in his heart: Ye Fei, you kid must not fall into it! I hope I made the right decision this time.
At 22 o'clock in the evening of April 18, 2205, the Yangtze River.
The commandos who boarded the ship quickly took off their battle armor, took the food handed by the cook, and frantically pulled it into their mouths. On the other side, the ground crew, who had just prepared the armor, began to deploy external weapon modules for the combat armor, and the original simple flight bag was replaced by a real portable jet propulsion.
It took an average of five minutes for the fighters to finish the meal, and after filling their stomachs, the fighters made a maximum of one trip to the toilet, and then immediately ran back to put on their armor.
In total, it took less than a quarter of an hour, and all the members of the Yangtze River Carrier-based Assault Regiment were ready to attack again.
Ye Fei, who had not yet entered the water, changed into a long-lost Type 91 heavy sniper rifle, stood in front of the queue and said in a deep voice: "Brothers. We must return to base. Recover the remains of all the martyrs. This time it's my fault, it's everyone's extra trip, time is pressing, I won't say more nonsense. Let's go! ”
"Invincible!" The morale of the fighters was at an all-time high.
Perhaps it is not so understandable to go out to recover the remains of the martyrs. But every warrior knows it in his heart. One day, I may become a cold corpse, and no one wants to be adrift or even have no bones left after death. So that the beloved ones can't see the last side.
Ye Fei was the first to jump out of the airborne capsule, landed on the surface of the asteroid, and plunged into the hole.
He suddenly had a wonderful feeling of fate in his heart, and when he got out of the hole half an hour ago, he could never have imagined that he would have to go back again in just half an hour.
"Attention all, activate the thrusters and speed up!" Ye Fei activated the propulsion device behind him, and the speed of his flight suddenly increased.
Then the leaf plane changed the communication frequency: "Call the head office to hear please answer." ”
"Headquarters received, please speak."
"Find me someone who is familiar with the forward base, the sooner the better."
"Wait a minute." There was a messy voice in the communication, and about two minutes later, a middle-aged man's deep voice appeared in the communication: "I am He Jie, an engineer of the Liuzhou, you can call me He Gong." ”
"Hello He Gong, I need to know where the general control room of the Dao Advance Base is." Ye Fei asked eagerly but politely.
"The location of the main control room is in the center of the fourteenth basement floor."
"Where are the partitions in the elevator shaft? Can the first layer be isolated? Ye Fei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, looking forward to He Gong's answer.
"When designing, floors 1 to 9 belong to the low gravity zone, not the inner layer, and the 10th to 16th floors are the inner layers with gravity, so whether it is a passage or an elevator shaft, it is from the tenth floor to have a closed device."
"That means if we want to seal the Outer Bone Man on the first layer, we can only blow up the first layer, right?" Ye Fei's eyes gradually condensed a little sharp.
Big deal, blew up the first layer.
"Not really." He Gong actually gave another answer, "We are all experienced military designers here, and the advance base has taken into account the problem of facing the enemy when designing, whether it is the elevator shaft or the passage, there is a blasting hole in the side wall between the first floor and the second floor, as long as you find those holes and put enough explosives, you can destroy the upper structure of the passage and the elevator shaft, and isolate the first floor from the bottom." In the same way, you can also isolate the second layer, the third layer, and the ninth layer. ”
"What?" Ye Fei couldn't have imagined that the base had been designed with how to blow it up, "Where are those blasting holes?" ”
"Facing the side wall of the door, usually in the middle of the two floors. But I wasn't the one in charge of the construction, and I had no way to tell you the exact location. ”
"Very good, these are enough, Xie Lu thank you for your work."
"You're welcome, you should be."
Cutting off communication, the plan in Ye Fei's heart gradually took shape.
Due to the use of jet thrusters, the speed of flight was greatly accelerated, and in just over twenty minutes, Ye Fei approached the sixteenth floor.
"Attention everyone, you are about to reach the lower level of the base, pay attention to slow down!" Ye Fei suddenly adjusted the direction of the thruster, and his flight speed decreased sharply in an instant, and then flew into the sixteenth floor at a low speed, and slammed into the cabin covered by the black bear on the hole in the ground with a thud.
Fortunately, Ye Fei reacted quickly and controlled his flying posture before hitting the ceiling, narrowly avoiding the tragedy of the impact.
The warriors who then entered the sixteenth floor were not so lucky, although they were all trained to complete the deceleration with accuracy, but not everyone could accurately grasp the timing, and some of them failed to slow down in time, rushing out of the hole too fast, until they hit the ceiling without stopping.
Fortunately, the armor is strong enough, and the buffer device is powerful enough, especially the external weapon module firmly clamps the head in the center, at most the module hits the ceiling, and the fighters are stunned for a while at most, and they can return to normal after a little adjustment.
"Black bear, immediately check the passage, monkey, check the elevator shaft, the saber, search the sixteenth floor, restore the energy supply." Ye Fei didn't wait for all the soldiers to arrive, so he couldn't wait to give the battle order.
The black bear, who arrived first, immediately rushed to the passage with a squadron, and the saber went straight to the power compartment, and the rest of the fighters automatically dispersed and began to search the sixteenth floor.
"Black Bear reported that the passage was intact and the enemy forces failed to break through."
"Okay, stand by and be ready to rush into the fifteenth floor." The last soldier rushed into the sixteenth floor, and Ye Fei personally covered the hatch on the hole in the ground.
The lighting system suddenly resumed its operation, and the lights lit up sixteen floors.
"Report, power restored!"
"Okay, hurry up and search the sixteenth floor."
"Yes!"
"Report, no anomalies in the elevator shaft!"
"Report, no exoskeleton found!"
"Good!" Ye Fei was overjoyed, "Take the black bear as the coordinates, assemble!" ”
The whole group quickly rushed to the passage leading to the fifteenth floor, and Ye Fei said in a deep voice: "The black bear seizes the airlock, the saber monkey, clean up the fifteenth floor, and be sure to clean up all the outer skeleton people." Black bear! ”
"Here!"
"Blast the passage!"
"Yes-" (To be continued......)
PS: Is it necessary to use the proposition of not abandoning or not giving up, I hesitated for a long time......
There is a real basis for what is in this chapter.
During the counterattack against Vietnam, after a certain regiment returned to the assembly area from the sortie, it was counted and found that the remains of 10 martyrs were lost. At that time, an order to return home had been received.
After the regiment reported to the division headquarters for approval, the whole regiment returned to search for the remains of the martyrs, and the round trip lasted one day and night, and five bodies were recovered.
Due to the loss of the remains of five martyrs, after returning to China, the regiment commander, political commissar, and the commanders of the battalions and companies to which the martyrs belonged were all dismissed.
It's tragic, but it's true, so I added this story to the book.
