Thanks to technological advancements, nighttime airdrops may seem thrilling, but in fact they are not much different from daytime airdrops.

The third squad is also safe and sound, and the two special operations teams have successfully completed the reloading and airborne, with no casualties and no vehicle damage, and they are currently busy collecting supplies.

In order to ensure that the two squads have sufficient combat effectiveness, the Air Force has specially dispatched a strategic transport plane with a strong carrying capacity, which can easily carry 3 combat vehicles and 1 off-road jeep, as well as several tons of material supplies, as for the 11 armed personnel, it is basically negligible.

As the technical nerds and computer masters in the team, Qian Wei and Cao Guichuan soon entered a busy state.

Qian Wei was busy completing the satellite positioning and checking the status of each vehicle, while Cao Guichuan was busy making communication contact with the airships that were fixed suspended over the Luohu Basin, and these airships carried a large number of aerial reconnaissance and communication equipment, which could act as the team's 'eyes' and 'messengers'.

The heavy firepower team composed of Fan Shaohui, Wu Tian, and Chen Jiaqiang, under the command of Fatal Death, formed the first night duty team to build a perimeter cordon to provide protection for Ling Hao and other teammates to collect materials.

After Ling Hao temporarily unloaded the supplies in the armed off-road jeep, he drove to the cargo boxes parachuted on the grassland with Dai Li and Deng Hua.

There were ammunition of various calibers, diesel, field rations, tents, drinking water, etc., and after they were put together, everyone except the perimeter guards gathered together to assist in the assembly of the flatbed trailer.

In order to facilitate maneuvering in the field and at the same time not taking up the limited internal space of the light infantry fighting vehicle, the engineers came up with the idea of attaching the combat vehicle to a two-wheeled flatbed trailer.

It's just that the flatbed trailer is not easy to airborne, so it was disassembled into large components before departure, but the assembly was not troublesome, and soon the first small trailer was assembled, and a lot of ammunition supplies were stored in the small aluminum alloy box, and then the other two were also assembled one after another, except for a part of the vehicle, most of the materials were stored in these trailer cargo boxes.

Three light tracked infantry fighting vehicles roared back, and after the tail hook was used to complete the coupling with the two-wheeled flatbed trailer, the remaining supplies were stuffed into the combat vehicle and jeep respectively.

The crew compartment of the airborne light infantry fighting vehicle could have carried 5 combat personnel, but the 11-person squad used 4 vehicles, and it certainly did not need the crew compartment, so the crew compartment was used to contain supplies.

For this reason, the roof of the jeep has also slightly adjusted the installation position of the 12.7 mm large-caliber heavy machine gun, specially installed a whip-shaped antenna, and equipped with perfect communication equipment, so as to facilitate real-time communication with airships in the air and other combat elements on the ground.

The remaining 9 team members were divided into groups of 3 and rode on 3 light infantry fighting vehicles, among which the 001 chariot with Death as the commander, Qian Wei as the driver and Wu Tian as the gunner naturally had to open the way at the front of the team.

Everything is ready, all vehicles do not have their headlights turned on, and the infantry fighting vehicle is equipped with an integrated control display and an independent driver's night vision device, which allows it to drive off-road as if it were daytime without turning on the headlights.

Of course, Hu Hai, who drove an off-road jeep, was not so lucky, and could only see clearly ahead through the individual infrared/low-light night vision device hanging on his helmet, and slowly kept a certain distance to follow the 002 tank, and the 003 tank with Chen Jiaqiang as the commander was in charge of the rear of the palace.

At night, four cars hit the road in a dull shape and headed for the largest freshwater lake in the Luohu Basin.

At the same time, the tactical transport planes of the other teams were also flying over the scheduled airborne landing site, and before the airborne, one transport plane after another took the lead in releasing the gliders that were pulled.

A large number of heavy-duty gliders made of light and high-strength composite materials will soon break away from the transport aircraft and enter the automatic gliding state, carrying several tons of materials in the aircraft, and they will complete unmanned gliding and landing through advanced airborne equipment.

In the middle of the Luohu Basin, there is a freshwater lake of about 30 square kilometers, which is oval in shape, with an average depth of more than 20 meters, and the lakeside terrain is open and flat, which is very conducive to the landing of unmanned gliders.

One after another, the unmanned gliders quickly slowed down, crashed into the sea of grass, overwhelmed a lot of weeds along the way, and finally came to a stop, and in the air, in the circling tactical transport plane, the members of the special operations team also began to parachute one after another.

The first and third teams arrived near the Tamsui Lake by car, and the airborne landing was basically completed, and the small carrier vehicles carried by the unmanned gliders, the steel components of the trestle and other equipment were being collected.

As the only two squads with armored vehicles, Ling Hao and Gao Sen quickly commanded their respective squads to go straight to the freshwater lake, and in less than half an hour, the three-post oil survey team on the seaplane would arrive.

It is not difficult to land on the calm freshwater lake at night, and it is not very likely that there are large monsters in this lake, because the last wave of bombers of the Air Force took special care of this lake during the indiscriminate bombardment during the day.

Hundreds of bombshells were dropped horizontally, and if there were really giant monsters hidden in the lake, if they were not killed or disabled, they could be awakened and discovered by airships watching from above.

But in fact, after the bombing, the airship did not find large monsters 'making waves', this freshwater lake is more small monsters, crocodile beasts, two-headed pythons and the like can not threaten the take-off and landing of seaplanes, and the really noteworthy oil surveyors should beware of monster attacks when they leave the plane.

Therefore, the first and third teams, equipped with vehicles, quickly rushed to both sides of the freshwater lake, and the first thing they did when they approached the lake was to use smoke emitters to launch specially modified infrared light bombs into the water.

This infrared luminous bomb, which can float on the surface of the lake, can continuously emit infrared light that is invisible to the naked eye, forming a spectacular infrared spectral band, which can be seen by the crew of the seaplane through the flight helmet, providing clear target guidance for its successful landing on the lake.

Soon, the other teams also rushed to the lake to prepare for battle, and before that, they had already assembled four trestles deep into the deep water of the lake using steel components carried by two unmanned gliders.

The night was silent, on both sides of the Tamsui Lake, 8 small teams formed two battle lines, and the special combat team members equipped with human exoskeleton armor all had amazing weapon carrying capabilities, aiming machine guns, multi-barreled rapid-fire machine guns and other large-scale killing weapons at the lake, ready to attack the restless monsters in the lake at any time.

In the distance, the dull roar of turbofan engines can be heard, and the flashing lights of four seaplanes with monoplane and T-tail structures on cantilevers soon come into view.

The naval aviation carefully selected the best crews to fly difficult night missions, and a seaplane carrying personnel was relatively lighter and first tried to land.

Due to the environmental conditions in the field, there is no perfect lighting and landing facilities like land airports, not to mention the blind landing system, the flight crew must fully trust the equipment and their own experience, fortunately, the seaplane has excellent low-altitude flight performance, after the first attempt failed, the seaplane soon turned around and completed a beautiful landing along the longest central axis of the freshwater lake.

The two turbofan engines on the fuselage hissed and roared, and the seaplane, which was gliding at high speed on the lake, finally slowly approached the trestle according to the guidance of the dazzling infrared guidance lights on the shore after running wildly for more than 1,000 meters.

At the same time, the second seaplane also landed with a roar, and for a while, the entire freshwater lake was like a thunderstorm, landing 4 seaplanes at intervals, which soon made this freshwater lake seem to have 4 more ships more than 30 meters long.

Time waits for no one, and one more minute of seaplane stay in a freshwater lake may be a little more dangerous.

Soon, the first seaplane carrying personnel opened the side hatches, and 60 members of the oil survey team rushed ashore as fast as they could, all of them carrying various exploration instruments and equipment in their hands.

The four special operations teams adjacent to the trestle had already put down their heavy weapons and ammunition, adjusted the power output of the 'metal skeleton' to the maximum, and each of them quickly became a master of handling, and the 22 people quickly carried the luggage and packages in the cabin of the seaplane ashore at one time.

As for the seaplanes that carry all oil exploration equipment, the special operations team also relies on the heavy-duty carrying capacity given by the metal skeleton, just like the industrious worker ants.

Each person can move 200 kilograms each time, and a team of 11 people is more than two tons back and forth, and the cargo carrying capacity of a seaplane is only 4 tons, so a team moves twice, and the equipment transported by a seaplane is emptied.

Of the 4 seaplanes, the one that mainly carried people was the first to land and the first to take off.

With the deafening roar, the unloaded seaplane quickly soared at high speed on the surface of the lake, sprinting less than a thousand meters away from the water surface and climbing high, falling countless water droplets, like a torrential rain on the local lake surface.

Immediately afterward, the other three planes that had completed the material handling also completed their takeoffs, and the large-scale airlift of personnel and equipment finally came to an end.

At the three scheduled exploration sites, the Air Force had already used two batches of transport planes to airdrop hundreds of tons of exploration equipment and equipment, as well as ammunition supplies for the two special operations teams that were on the armed alert.

Now three more seaplanes have been carrying more than 12 tons of supplies, which is naturally enough for oil exploration, and the time has come to about 4 o'clock in the morning, and they must leave the lake before dawn.

After the three oil exploration teams 'divided' more than 12 tons of materials, they used vehicles brought by unmanned gliders to load more than 4 tons of materials into separate trucks, and soon each of them rushed to their respective exploration sites under the protection of the two special operations teams.

The 1st and 3rd squadrons, which are highly mobile patrol forces, went to help the two special operations teams as mobile support forces to build support camps, and the naval aviation transport planes, which were responsible for transporting supplies, were already on their way.

The four teams will strive to build a small military base with sufficient supplies before dawn, so that they can support any oil exploration site at any time and deal with any contingencies.
