……
Ling Hao, who returned from recuperation, quickly joined the camp of building an extinct volcanic island.
The deafening roar of construction machinery resounded throughout the island, and a large number of construction resources were transported from the mother island to the first port by ship, and then quickly transferred to the island after loading and unloading.
On the island of more than 30 square kilometers, after the military port, the large-scale construction is naturally an aviation base.
Using blasting methods and a large number of construction vehicles to transfer soil and gravel to reclaim land, a 3,700-meter-long runway was soon revealed.
When completed, the runway will be able to carry long-range bombers taking off and landing, and the wide apron will be large enough to accommodate hundreds of helicopters of various types.
Construction of airport runways, hangars, flight towers, ammunition depots, fuel depots, ...... The busy construction task has put all the resources that can be mobilized on the island to use.
Ling Hao also became a dump truck driver, busy transporting building materials all day long, half a month, not only practiced the heavy truck drag racing stunts, but also further improved physical fitness by strengthening exercise.
It's another sunny day, but today is clearly different.
In the dull roar, a gray-painted Y-20 transport plane successfully landed on the airport runway, and the airport runway, which was built with a large number of troops and equipment, finally ushered in the first fixed-wing aircraft.
As the transport plane slowed down and taxied on the runway, the officers and men of the troops, who had been looking forward to it, burst into unprecedentedly enthusiastic cheers.
A jeep with flashing warning lights slowly guides the transport plane into the tarmac, and two fire trucks burst out of the high water column at the same time, forming a water gate to welcome the arrival of the first transport plane in a special way.
Soon after, the second, third, ...... When the eighth transport plane also came to a stop in the parking stand, the entire air base was already unprecedentedly lively.
These eight transport planes brought a batch of important supplies in short supply from the base on the mother island, and at the same time brought letters and parcels that the officers and men were looking forward to.
This time, Ling Hao did not receive another letter from Murong Fei, but instead an aluminum alloy case the size of a guitar case.
In the brand-new barracks that had been renovated and air-conditioned, Ling Hao was a little excited, and opened the box to see that it was really a good thing sent by Uncle Li.
In the box, the first thing that catches your eye is the stamped approval document of the waterproof transparent bag seal, without it, the contents of this box obviously can't pass through the interstellar gate, let alone be delivered to Ling Hao.
Taking out the pieces of components embedded in the foam interlayer, Ling Hao quickly finished assembling a brand-new anti-materiel sniper rifle.
In terms of appearance, it is no different from that issued by the troops, and the whole body is black and domineering, but the weight on the hand is a lot lighter, because of the use of a lot of advanced composite materials, so not only the weight is sharply reduced, but even the touch feel is also very useful.
Luo Wei, who was reading the letter on the side, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and just saw Ling Hao holding a new gun with a happy look, and his eyes lit up.
"I'll you!"
Putting the letter aside, Luo Wei rushed forward with an arrow step and snatched the large-caliber sniper rifle in Ling Hao's hand, without feeling the slightest sense of heaviness, and the weight was only slightly heavier than the assault rifle.
Guo Rui also saw it, and stepped forward with bright eyes, as if caressing the skin of a beautiful woman, gently stroking the cold barrel of the gun, and let out a sigh of exclamation in his mouth.
"Divine weapon, this is the real Shenhao special gun!"
Guo Rui snatched the big sniper from Luo Wei's hand, aiming left and right with joy, it seemed that he didn't feel that it was enough to pull the style, and he also added the customized optical sight, posing in a standing shooting posture, so handsome!
"Go, go, let's go cool, let me try!"
Squad leader Tang Bin also rushed to join in the fun, Ling Hao had said before that the last time he returned to the mother island base, he asked a friend from logistics to get a good gun, and everyone was looking forward to waiting until today, and finally saw the true face, and it was really bright and blind.
Ling Hao smiled faintly, letting his comrades play with the new gun, and he continued to pack the contents of the box.
A flat sandalwood box came into view, a bit like a high-end cigar, but before it was opened, it was found that it was not a cigar, but a special sniper bullet with a golden shell and a silver bullet head.
Ling Hao took out two pieces at random and weighed them in the palm of his hand, the workmanship was very fine, and it was worthy of Uncle Li asking senior technicians to use high-precision CNC machining centers to manufacture high-end goods in small batches.
In addition to bullets, Ling Hao also found a very delicate bulletproof vest, made of composite materials with performance far exceeding Kevlar fiber, which is lighter in weight but has a lot more protection.
Of course, there is also a small note pressed under the bulletproof vest, which is written by Li Hongjian himself, the pen is vigorous and powerful, and the content written is, of course, to tell Ling Hao to pay more attention to safety, and the next batch of special equipment has begun to be processed and trial-produced.
New guns, new ammunition, new body armor......
Before Ling Hao could play with it himself, he suddenly heard a rapid battle siren.
Woowoo......
"Quick, battle alert!"
Squad leader Tang Bin immediately returned the new gun to Ling Hao, turned around and rushed to the weapon cabinet with an arrow step and dragged it away, dragged out the tactical carrying gear and began to quickly put on the armament.
Everyone immediately began to get busy, in terms of choosing weapons and equipment, Ling Hao did not hesitate to choose to bring a brand-new big sniper, as for the aiming equipment and ammunition, he naturally used the latest and best ones.
In less than three minutes, the heavily armed soldiers rushed out and urgently assembled in the square in front of the dormitory building.
Company commander Zhang Yongqiang walked to the front of the queue with a resolute face, swept his bright eyes, and said sharply: "Take a break!" ”
Wow!
The sound of the boots rubbing against the ground is exciting.
The battle came very suddenly, a reconnaissance ship accidentally ran aground in the course of a coastal reconnaissance mission, and after sending an emergency distress signal, it was soon silenced.
At present, the construction of the base has entered the final stage, and the combat units have been separated from engineering operations, and the original plan was to be stationed on the spot to carry out training, but now as a reconnaissance battalion company of the sharp knife unit, it is inevitable to send forces to search and rescue the troops.
The situation was urgent, and Zhang Yongqiang did not ask for advice at all, and the squad with the strongest combat effectiveness naturally had to rush to the front.
"Tang Bin, your class is taking the lead, do you have confidence?"
"Report, there is!" Tang Bin stepped out of the ranks, replied loudly with his head held high.
"Good! Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, our sharp knife company has never been wrong! ”
With a wave of Zhang Yongqiang's hand, Tang Bin immediately returned to the queue and led the whole class to board the bus and rush to the airport.
At the airfield, two attack gunships and one transport helicopter were already in position, their blades buzzing and spinning, just waiting for the infantry to board and take off.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”
At the door of the helicopter cabin, the fireman responsible for controlling a 7.62 mm caliber rotary tube high-speed machine gun helped Tang Bin and others board the plane quickly.
Soon, two armed attack helicopters, equipped with rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles, took off first, and in the deafening roar, the blades rotated at high speed, tearing through the air and fanning the waves.
After climbing and flying, the fuselage of the transport helicopter also shook slightly, and the pilot steadily controlled the helicopter to take off quickly.
Under the scorching sun, the noses of the three helicopters leaned forward slightly, heading straight for the wrecked reconnaissance ship at a very fast speed, and the main force led by Zhang Yongqiang himself would go by medium-sized transport helicopter with a stronger carrying capacity.
Three helicopters flew into the air, and two gunships escorted the transport helicopters, and the blue sea and blue sky were spectacular, but no one in the cabin paid attention to the magnificent scenery.
The departure was too hurried, and there was no time to check the communication equipment, and when he arrived at the helicopter, the squad leader Tang Bin began to test the individual soldier communication radio, and after getting in touch with the headquarters, he asked the team members to check the communication device.
"Ling Hao, after you arrived, you stayed in the air to observe, did you hear that?" Tang Bin leaned into Ling Hao's ear and shouted loudly.
"Understood!"
Ling Hao patted the big sniper in his hand, signaling that he understood the task of observation and fire sniping.
With this, Tang Bin successively arranged other people's tasks, and the boarding search was quite troublesome, and a high degree of coordination must be maintained.
The helicopter fleet quickly located the wrecked and stranded reconnaissance ship according to the beacon positioning.
Looking down from the air, the 1,000-ton reconnaissance ship was still far from the coastline, and there were strong marks of impact on the bow, which should have hit the reef.
But how could a reconnaissance ship with advanced reconnaissance equipment crash into a reef that is completely detectable and evasive?
Obviously, there must have been some monster that forced them to panic and then unfortunately bumped into them.
Everyone couldn't help but raise their vigilance, the fireman at the door of the cabin turned on the power, once some monster appeared, the 6-barrel Gatling-style high-speed rotary machine gun in his hand could quickly pour thousands of bullets, forming an absolute rain of death bullets.
Ling Hao attached the optical sight to the big sniper and directly aimed at the reconnaissance ship.
From the bow to the radar mast to the small helicopter take-off and landing platform at the stern, Ling Hao quickly discovered a strange mark.
Presumably some kind of sea creature, it climbed into the ship from the side of the hull and dragged the crew out of the cabin, leaving a long trail of drag along the way.
Moreover, judging from the twin 25-mm machine gun batteries installed on the ship, there are a lot of shells scattered, which shows that the crew has resisted.
After the helicopter circled twice, two thick cables were thrown from both sides of the transport helicopter, and two gunships hovered on either side of the reconnaissance ship, ready to rain fire.
The abseiling was quickly completed, and Tang Bin's eight men maintained a battle formation on the helicopter take-off and landing deck, waited for a few seconds, and after the helicopter retracted the cable, they formed a column and slowly approached the cockpit.
Ling Hao put on his bipod, lying on the floor of the engine room, and aimed at the reconnaissance ship with the butt of his gun on his cheek, ready to destroy the sea monster at any time.
In the scope, Tang Bin and the others slowly entered the cabin and soon launched a search for survivors.
Finally, the good news came that the cook on the reconnaissance ship had been found in the refrigerator, he was shivering from the cold and delirious, and he had been muttering something in his mouth.
"Octopus, lots of octopus!"
The voice of the cook came from the headset, and Ling Hao suddenly saw the water ripples on the starboard side of the reconnaissance ship trembling, and a brown thick and extremely flexible wrist stretched out of the sea, and fleshy suction cups were distributed on both sides of the wrist, and after twisting the fence quite flexibly, more thick wrists stretched out.
Soon, a huge octopus-like creature was trying to climb onto the scout ship, and around it, there were more thick wrists sticking out of the water......
