It snowed heavily all night, and Guan Hao and Luke were on standby all the time, because there was too much snow after the blizzard, which was prone to snow disasters, especially the Jack Ski Resort, which was built on the mountainside valley floor.

One hundred and twenty millimeters of snow from last night left this Jack Peak in a state of high snow, which is difficult to remove by hand and requires large machinery to deal with it.

Jack Ski Resort is a large ski resort with advanced facilities in country A, and the snow removal facilities are very complete.

Although a blizzard warning message was issued last night, informing all tourists to go down the mountain urgently, there are still many ski enthusiasts who choose to stay in the hotel on the mountain, last night's snowstorm was the largest in nearly 30 years, many people have not seen such a big snow when they are so big, and they are curious to stay.

In addition, the new snow is fluffy because of the air left in it, so it is easier to ski on it, and it is also a great sense of accomplishment to ski in the snowy open field, breathing in the cold air, and leaving a new mark after skiing.

Therefore, many ski enthusiasts and veteran players usually choose to enjoy the feast of fresh snow after a snowstorm.

There are no less than forty tourists who have not left the ski slopes of Jack's Peak. These people all hoped that God would stop the snow and gallop on the slopes, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and the snowstorm continued to fall from yesterday afternoon to this morning.

The blizzard does not mean to stop, some people have some thoughts of retreating, everyone knows that such weather, if it continues, in the windward valley of this steep peak, it is very dangerous, the stones on the mountain will be very fragile after years of thermal expansion and cold contraction erosion, this bad weather is very prone to avalanches caused by the collapse of stones.

The Jack Helicopter Training School regularly helps the Jack Peak Ski Resort to clear the rocks that have long been marked, and the latest snowstorm has loosened most of the rocks on Jack's Peak, and a large-scale avalanche can occur at any time.

Guan Hao and the others attended an emergency meeting with instructors from the helicopter training school.

The meeting was held at the Jack Peak Emergency Center, and in order to effectively warn of it, Jack Ski Resort installed displacement sensors and cameras near many major dangerous rocks and ancient glaciers in Jack Peak.

In the emergency center, you can see the real-time situation of the dangerous rocks, and four of them have also loosened and there are signs of collapse.

The emergency center marked the four dangerous rocks as No. 1 to No. 4, of which No. 1 and No. 3 are in the upper left of the No. 2 valley floor, once the collapse will cause a large avalanche, the entire No. 2 valley will be covered by the avalanche, according to the current snow measurement, the No. 2 valley floor will be completely destroyed by the avalanche in less than five minutes.

When building the No. 2 Valley, the glacial rocks in the upper left were also considered, and a diversion nullah was built below it, so that the usual rain and snow could be diverted down the hill along the nullah on their own, but now the heavy snowfall has accumulated to a critical point.

The bottom of Valley 2 is the main activity and living area of the entire Jack Ski Resort, where most of the people stranded at Jack's Peak are located, and in the event of an avalanche, these people will successfully appear on the list of victims of the avalanche event, including Guan Hao and Lily Ruke.

As the danger continues to intensify with the snowstorm, the No. 1 and No. 3 dangerous rocks may collapse at any time, and the emergency center decided to strike first after discussion, and sent helicopters to dredge the diversion nullah with small bombs, so that even if there is an avalanche, the diversion nullah can disperse most of the snow in the avalanche and minimize the sabotage activities.

The emergency center's plan was to send helicopters to dredge the channel above the nullah.

Such a move is quite dangerous, because in weathered areas where the geological structure is very fragile, the slightest noise can cause the collapse of dangerous rocks, which can cause large avalanches.

The helicopter hovering in the valley itself will be bumped by the air currents in the valley, which will be very difficult to maneuver, and the cyclone and sound from the helicopter's rotors can also cause avalanches.

This kind of risk removal requires great skill and courage.

The emergency center plans to divide the troops into two routes: two helicopters, one for dredging tasks, one as a backup aircraft, and the other two helicopters for the evacuation of stranded passengers.

The Jack Helicopter Training School is equipped with U H-60 trainer and rescue helicopters, which are better known as the civilian version of the Black Hawk helicopters.

The Jack Helicopter Training School has a total of four civilian versions of Black Hawk helicopters, two of which are relatively new and are used for dredging missions.

The blizzard is still falling, and the danger is getting worse as time goes on, so it's time to wait.

After the division of labor, Guan Hao and other six trainees cooperated with the main pilot on the helicopter as observers to transfer the stranded passengers. But because there are only seven formal instructors in the entire Jack Helicopter Training School, there are a total of four helicopters, and eight co-pilots are required.

The Black Hawk helicopter is a purpose-built utility helicopter specially developed in post-war Y country A in the seventies, powered by two powerful turboshaft engines, with a maximum take-off weight of nearly ten tons, and superior performance.

The helicopter requires two pilots to work together, and the military version of the Black Hawk requires a flight engineer to assist with complex electrical, mechanical, and flight operations.

The civilian version of the Black Hawk requires two pilots. In view of Guan Hao's training performance and piloting and operation talent, the emergency center decided that Guan Hao and another instructor from Jack Helicopter Training School would fly the Black Hawk helicopter to evacuate the stranded tourists at the ski resort.

In such an environment, visibility and wind speed were the biggest challenges for helicopter flight, and when the emergency center's decision was announced, Lily and Rook stood up almost simultaneously to express their disapproval.

In Lily's view, Guan Hao is her fiancé, the hope and dependence of the Jack family's future, and in the face of such a dangerous situation, Guan Hao cannot risk himself.

And from his own point of view, Luke does not allow Guan Hao to get into danger, Guan Hao is the link between the two major organizations of the East and the West and an important part of future cooperation, Guan Hao cannot have an accident, and Luke was sent to Guan Hao by the Brotherhood to protect Guan Hao's personal safety, such a dangerous behavior Luke completely disagrees.

Guan Hao saw that the two of them opposed him joining the helicopter rescue pilot at the same time, he knew that Lily and Luke were thinking about their own safety, but a sense of righteousness in his bones and the chivalrous spirit of courage to take responsibility in times of crisis made him have to stand up bravely at this critical moment.

"Dear Lily, my good brother understands, you don't have to worry about me, I have confidence in this rescue operation. Please support me and trust me, okay? ”

"Hao, you don't need to risk your life, we can transport passengers in one helicopter, just two more trips."

"It's okay, the situation is urgent now, and one more trip is a big risk. Rest assured, I'll be back safely. After Guan Hao finished speaking, he put his arm around Lily and kissed her lightly on her white forehead.

Lily also felt Guan Hao's determination at this time, and it was hard to say anything, but she hugged Guan Hao tightly with both hands, and said softly: "You must be careful, I will wait for you to come back!" ”

Guan Hao looked at Lily affectionately with noncommittal eyes, and turned his head to look at Luke on the side.

"Wait for me to come back!"

Without hesitation, Guan Hao followed the instructor into the pilot's lounge, where the pilots would make simple tactical arrangements and rehearsal analysis.

Guan Hao was completely a junior in front of the instructor, and he had no opportunity to speak, so he had to silently take notes on the sidelines, which was also a once-in-a-lifetime internship opportunity for Guan Hao, which improved his driving ability and adaptability more than training.

The blizzard outside was still abusive, and the people inside were busy and nervous. The staff of the ski resort notified the stranded people one by one and asked them to gather in the multi-purpose hall, and the helicopter will pick them up in 15 minutes at the square outside the hall.

And the two helicopters responsible for dredging the diversion were immediately ready to take off. Each helicopter is equipped with a bombardier who is responsible for clearing the accumulated snow using weapons.

In order to be able to clear accurately, the school also specially applied for two M60 heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and 20 grenades, and each machine gun was equipped with 4,000 rounds of ammunition.

As the aviation unit of the National Guard of National Guard A, the Jack Helicopter Training School has a small arsenal that can apply for weapons and equipment in case of emergency.

Everything was ready, the helicopter that took the lead took off quickly, and the instructor pulled it away beautifully, and soon disappeared into the snowflakes.

Visibility outside is so low that you can barely see outside. Through the pilot's radio headset, it was learned that the No. 1 aircraft, with superb piloting skills, successfully flew over the dredging trough under the condition of almost zero visibility, but because the blizzard was too strong, the plane could not hover for a long time, which was bad news for the weapon operator, the aircraft could not be stabilized, and the weapon operator could not operate the weapon.

At this time, the crosswinds in the valley intensified, and the helicopter staggered over the diversion trough, but could not find a suitable hovering point, and the situation became more and more critical when the snow had overflowed the diversion trough.

At this time, the No. 3 helicopter responsible for transporting the stranded passengers was ready, the first batch of passengers had all been in place, and the staff arranged for everyone to board the Black Hawk helicopter in an orderly manner, and soon the helicopter took off and flew down the mountain.

At this time, the No. 1 machine was still circling and could not find a suitable attack point.

The instructor in the intercom was very anxious and kept asking, what should I do? What to do?

At this time, Guan Hao had an idea, and said loudly into the microphone: "Instructor, maybe we can blast the dangerous rocks above the diversion trough first, and then deal with the snow on the diversion trough." ”

Comparatively, the targets of the dangerous rocks are larger and higher, and the helicopter is easier to shoot.
