Chapter 63: Reloading and Parachuting
PS: Bow and thank the book friend Halfa for his support. This week, there is no list, no advertising recommendation, and the collection results are miserable, but book friends can still vote for it, thank you in your heart, and thank you for not giving up!
……
The bombing, which lasted almost a whole day.
Under the instigation of the Delta Theater Command, the air force units made full use of the bloodthirsty and gluttonous characteristics of monsters, constantly using transport planes to throw sea lizard flesh and blood with good color and fragrance, and even sowing flavor enhancers to lure all kinds of monsters to hunt.
Then the bombers will drop fuel air bombs on a large scale to kill, or the fighter-bombers will drop more advanced thermobaric bombs at low altitudes to form local ultra-high pressure in a small area, and use the high-pressure impact and suffocation effect to kill and injure a large number of monsters.
In short, multiple batches were repeated in such a cycle that the entire day was busy at the air base.
The bombing operation finally came to an end after the unmanned reconnaissance planes and airships that laid out the airborne reconnaissance planes and airships over the Luohu Basin to determine that there were not many monsters left in the basin.
The bombing campaign, which consumed a lot of ammunition, fuel and other materials, and even dispatched ground missile units, was not just to support the ER mission.
Through this operation, the Huaxia Corps verified the actual combat performance of medium-range surface-to-surface missiles for the first time, and tested the high-precision hit rate of missiles under various conditions such as road maneuvering, field launches, and unfamiliar target areas.
At the same time, the corps has once again integrated the long-distance coordinated bombing mode of the Air Force's multi-element integration, allowing unmanned observation, air early warning, communication support, remote command, and logistics support to be exercised in actual combat.
Of course, the most important thing is that through this sustained 'induced' bombing on an unprecedented scale, it will be impossible for the implementation of the ER mission to face a large-scale group attack by monsters before the monsters around the Luohu Basin migrate into the basin.
Having removed the biggest obstacle to the security of the mission, it was the turn of the oil exploration team and its armed escort to step in.
During the day, when the Air Force was busy bombing, the 10 special operations teams and the 3 oil survey teams held their last meeting before leaving.
Of course, the command of the theater is still responsible for the supreme command of the mission, but after arriving at the mission area, the three oil exploration teams have to carry out exploration operations in different locations.
In order to ensure safety, each reconnaissance team will have two special operations teams responsible for protection, and of the remaining four teams, two will be responsible for mobile patrols and vigilance on the perimeter, and the other two will be deployed at the closest position to the three reconnaissance teams to remain as mobile support forces.
Soon after the meeting, after being checked and confirmed by the leaders of the three oil exploration teams, the equipment directly airdropped was quickly shipped, and 12 transport planes were prepared to be divided into two waves, six at each time, to airdrop heavy equipment at three exploration sites.
These equipment airdropped and landed at night are not fresh prey, and naturally they will not be stolen by monsters, so the transport aircraft fleet needs to consider more about how to accurately complete the airdrop and reduce the difficulty of collecting materials.
When the first batch of six transport planes took off, the three oil exploration teams also returned to their dormitories to make final preparations before departure.
Perhaps because of the trust of the ER working group, the 1st and 3rd squads, which have long occupied the championship and runner-up positions, have become two mobile patrol squads in the comprehensive performance ranking of the War Dragon Special Operations Brigade, and they are also the only two heavy airdrop combat units.
The midnight sky is as clear as a wash, dotted with stars, dazzling and shining.
In the brightly lit air base, the 1st and 3rd squads were making final preparations for inspection, two strategic transport planes opened the rear hatches, and ground crews accurately sent the airborne vehicles into the cabin and fixed them in place.
With a heavy parachute bag on their backs and the necessary weapons and equipment, everyone looked a little 'bloated', and after being checked by the ground crew one by one, the teams began to board one after another.
Not far away, in the large and spacious hangar, a large number of gliders made of composite materials, a large number of technicians are finally checking their unmanned equipment, terrain matching radar, infrared night vision, joint tactical communications and other equipment, and at the same time a lot of equipment and materials are loaded into the glider.
The Luohu Basin is 1,100 kilometers away from the Delta Theater and is a primitive and wild land, and naturally there is no airfield for large fixed-wing aircraft to take off and land, and there is not even a hard ground suitable for tactical transport planes to take off and land in the field, which has brought considerable difficulties to the entry of personnel and the transportation of materials.
Tonight, the Air Force will dispatch a large number of strategic and tactical transport planes to send combat personnel and supplies into the Luohu Basin by parachuting and releasing gliders.
The three oil survey teams, which do not have the ability to parachute at night, have already gone to the naval port base, where they will take four seaplanes to the Luohu Basin, and the two air tankers that provide fuel support for the seaplanes are also ready to go.
The main reason for choosing to reload and parachute at midnight is that most of the monsters are active during the day and rest at night, and if you choose to parachute in the morning, you are very likely to encounter monsters that get up early to forage for food.
In addition, the take-off and landing capacity of the air base is limited, and the take-off and landing are frequent during the day, relatively speaking, the number of take-off and landing flights is basically not controlled at night, and the airspace corridor is also very clean.
Soon, the first batch of two special operations teams bravely entered the Luohu Basin, and the two strategic transport planes roared and roared, and the four turbine engines burst out with a deafening sound.
Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate......
With incomparably heroic momentum, the heavy strategic transport plane galloped wildly on the runway, and the flashing navigation lights dragged out the blurred light, and the two planes took off proudly against the backdrop of the guidance lights that suddenly turned on and off.
After entering the high-altitude cruising state, everyone in the cabin began to get busy.
1,100 kilometers may seem like a long distance, but for a strategic jet transport aircraft with an economic cruising speed of 830 kilometers per hour, it is less than two hours.
Thanks to the unity and cooperation of the four legions, the global satellite navigation system has been put into use, so that a large number of the equipment involved in this mission will be able to use accurate satellite positioning and timing services.
Satellite locators, satellite phones and other equipment were inspected one after another, and everyone began to check infrared/low-light night vision devices, tactical communicators, and finally it was the turn of weapons, equipment, ammunition, etc.
As the minutes ticked by, the random mechanic turned on the alarm lights as a jingle bell rang out.
"Five minutes to prepare!" Hearing the sound, Ling Hao immediately opened his eyes and shouted loudly.
Everyone immediately learned that Suoso checked the parachute equipment one last time, which was a life-threatening thing, and the two mechanics also seized the last time to check whether the parachute system of the airdrop vehicle was in order.
In the cabin, the red siren lights kept flashing, and the lights were ghostly, reflecting on every face.
Ling Hao checked the equipment of each team member one by one, especially the parachute, and those who passed the inspection all punched in the chest, cheering in this special way.
Bite...... Boom!
The loud electronic synthesis sound announced that it had arrived in the predetermined airspace, and the rear hatch of the huge strategic transport plane slowly opened, and the low-temperature air flow immediately rushed into the cabin, mixed with the sound of whirring wind, which made people suddenly feel as cold as the north wind.
The mechanic wearing a protective helmet gestured at Ling Hao with a thumbs up, and after receiving Ling Hao's nod in response, he immediately pressed the launch button, and the towing umbrella hanging on the tail of the cabin was immediately thrown out.
The strong air flow immediately opened the 10-square-meter towing parachute, forming a strong pulling force, and the airborne combat vehicle parked on the cargo bridge was slowly pulled out of the cargo hold along the guide rails and roller rods.
As if a giant hand with magical powers, the first combat vehicle in the cabin of the strategic transport aircraft was dragged into the night sky, and then the towing parachute separated from the combat vehicle and opened the auxiliary guidance parachute, which successfully opened the main parachute and the stabilization parachute.
The parachute of more than 700 square meters dragged the light infantry fighting vehicle weighing more than 10 tons to prevent the vehicle from falling to the ground quickly.
At the same time, the right four rockets formed a buffer system into a standby state, and the safety buffer airbag at the bottom of the car was also inflated and puffed up through the intake valve.
Suddenly, the touchdown probe completed the height measurement, the rocket buffer system was activated instantly, and the solid-fuel rocket engine quickly burst out of the scorching air flow, producing a strong reverse thrust, so that the infantry chariot that was about to fall to the ground when it landed quickly seemed to be suddenly dragged by the hand of the giant.
The speed suddenly decreased, and at the moment of touching the ground, the heavy tank did not directly contact the ground, but pressed the soft airbag, and the airbag completely absorbed the impact energy of the vehicle touching the ground, so the air in the airbag was quickly compressed and sprayed out through the exhaust valve.
In this way, the light combat vehicle loaded with ammunition and various equipment landed safely without danger, followed by the second, third, and last armed off-road jeeps, and then a standard cargo box, which basically contained the supplies and other equipment of the first squad.
After all the vehicles landed safely, the strategic transport plane quickly completed a small radius and made a sharp turn, allowing the members of the special operations team to complete the night parachute jump one after another.
The most daring and Chen Jiaqiang were the first to jump out, and after Ling Hao saluted the two mechanics, he soon jumped out of the cargo hold, and 11 dazzling white flowers soon bloomed in the night sky, like fluttering dandelions.
As the dull roar of the engines of the strategic transport aircraft faded away, the parachutes finally fell to the ground, and the team members carrying heavy equipment supplies had already turned on the 'metal skeleton' in the air to increase the output power to 100%.
At the moment of landing, they did not feel the slightest shock shock, everyone completed the parachute very easily, quickly put the parachute away, and completed the assembly of the team, and not far away, the three combat vehicles and off-road jeeps that landed first were waiting quietly.
Through the windbreaker through the low-light night vision device, the vision was pale green, and the 11 team members were on high alert and confirmed that they were safe, and then slowly approached the chariot.
The parachute system has been actively separated from the combat vehicle, and the team of 11 people quickly divided into 4 groups, boarded the vehicle according to the established plan, checked it, and after confirming the status of the vehicle, it closed the cargo boxes that had landed and gathered all the valuable supplies.
Ling Hao and Hu Hai got into the armed off-road jeep, and after skillfully turning on the communication radio, Ling Hao immediately reported that the first squad of the Delta Theater Command had landed safely, and then got in touch with the third squad that had landed at another location.
The extremely dangerous nighttime reloading airdrop is finally in danger, and what awaits them next is an even more arduous task.
