Two hours after takeoff, the balloon rose to an altitude of 30,000 meters.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Entering this height means temporary safety.
In the remaining time, as long as the two officers responsible for the control can control the stratospheric aerostat and use the altitude advantage to reach the vicinity of Miyajima within 48 hours, it will be a success.
In fact, it is also a difficult task for the two officers who control this huge aerostat to accurately fly more than 2,000 kilometers to the waters near Miyajima without Beidou guidance.
Fortunately, the navigation accuracy of aircraft is not as high as that of ballistic missiles, and it only needs to fly roughly to the sea area near Miyajima.
All team members will jump out of the cabin about 200 kilometers away from Miyajima, and use the unique parachute gliding principle to fly at least 150 kilometers or more in the air.
According to the formulated combat plan, it is best to enter the water within 30 kilometers of Miyajima Island.
In addition to the pressurized suit, each team member also has a equipment bag, and a survival kit is fixed on the weapon bag.
These were customized when Unit 203 was designing and exploring the tactics of this high-altitude stratospheric delivery reconnaissance unit.
This kind of umbrella is larger than ordinary parafoils and ordinary round umbrellas. After all, one equipment bag weighs more than 100 kilograms, and a survival bag weighs more than 20 kilograms. Because it uses a small underwater propeller, this
This means that the total weight of each person weighs more than 200 kilograms. Therefore, the umbrella they need is twice as large as the ordinary umbrella, and they cannot use double or multi-umbrella mode. At the same time, the umbrella must be both
Good gliding performance.
Fortunately, as members of the Navy's special forces, Fatty Wei and others have received sea parachute training. According to past practice, parachutes must be separated before entering the water.
In this operation, not only did the parachute have to be separated before entering the water, but the parachute also had to be separated from the equipment.
The equipment bag, survival kit, and personnel must be separated about 5 meters from the water. After entering the water, because the team members are all wearing heavy pressurized suits, this can keep the team members alive at high altitudes, but once they enter the sea,
That is a fatal burden.
Everyone needs to find the quick release buckle as quickly as possible. There are three buckles in total. After opening it, pulling a rope can make the pressurized suit quickly separate and fall off.
After the person and the pressurized suit are separated, the equipment bag and the survival bag will be nearby. The team members must find the survival bag as quickly as possible. When opened, it will turn into a float similar to an inflatable boat.
Then find the equipment bag.
The equipment bag also has a unique design. When it falls into the water, it will automatically inflate the air bag outside the bag, making the entire bag float on the water.
After putting on the equipment bag, the team members drag it to the inflatable boat. They have to climb up, take out the equipment and carry it individually. After that, they use the IR equipment to find teammates nearby.
After completing the assembly, the team members need to immediately destroy the inflatable boat and let it sink into the depths of the sea to avoid being washed up on the shore of Miyajima and discovered by the Blue Army soldiers stationed there.
After doing all this, Fatty Wei and Lao Cen made the final determination of Miyajima's position. Then they worked in pairs with one thruster to infiltrate Miyajima and land on the island for reconnaissance and guidance.
Sound simple?
Fatty Wei thought it was very simple when he heard what Lao Cen said.
But if you think about it carefully, something seems wrong.
There was also cold sweat on his forehead.
As long as there is a slight error in one link in all processes, it means either death or mission failure.
For example, if the person, the equipment, and the umbrella are not separated in time, the person may hit the equipment and directly kill himself.
In other words, if the pressurized suit is not separated in time, the heavy thing will be soaked in water. No matter what kind of naval special forces member you are, you will not be able to float in the water and will sink directly to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.
This process is very short, just a few seconds. If you can separate it, you will live. If you cannot take it off, you will die!
Not to mention personal details.
Just say that the person fell into the water and the equipment was successfully separated, then there are still a lot of tests next, and if you make the same mistake, you will lose everything.
For example, since there is no Beidou navigation, we can only rely on manual positioning or starlight positioning to determine the location of Miyajima.
In the vast sea without navigation, how to determine that the airdrop location is close to Miyajima? How to determine the direction of Miyajima after falling into the sea? There is water all around and the same scenery. The ocean is the easiest place for people to lose their way.
To be foolproof, the first step is to obtain the accurate position of Miyajima through the height advantage of the aerostat at an altitude of 30,000 meters.
This is a matter of two operators.
They will use reconnaissance equipment to find the location of Miyajima at high altitude, mark the location between themselves and Miyajima, and then airdrop the team members at the designated location.
After the team members were airdropped onto the sea, they planned and judged the route based on the rough orientation previously calibrated, then used the starlight positioning method to find the correct orientation, used the compass for manual azimuth positioning, and finally used the submarine to reach Miyajima.
In fact, in addition to these primitive positioning techniques, radio wave positioning can also be carried out through communication with the aerostat, and the position of Miyajima can be calculated by determining the position of the aerostat.
However, in this operation, before each team enters the guidance position and before the red team determines to launch a missile attack, radio silence must be maintained throughout the entire operation. A base of the size of Miyajima must have a detection network.
What's more, the various combat ships, electronic reconnaissance ships, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, etc. deployed by the blue side in the waters near Miyajima are very likely to be detected by the other side once the operation team turns on the radio to contact the red side's operation headquarters behind them.
Radio waves eventually lead to exposure of whereabouts.
This is why the difficulty of this operation is said to be hellish.
Just after guiding the team to take off, Li was pacing back and forth in the command post inside the Red Army Joint Staff Headquarters, feeling inexplicably anxious.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This has never happened to him before when he participated in various joint exercises. This is the first time.
The action team led by Fatty Wei has already set off, and the news has been reported, but the most painful period will come next.
Because the radio is silent, and except for the two newly launched Beidou satellites, all the other Red Square satellites, whether commercial or military, have been exhausted.
This meant that he had no way of knowing anything about the action team—at least until the attack was launched, and before the action team turned back on the radio and contacted the action headquarters.
Another huge stone weighing on my mind is the blue side's action time.
The early warning aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, etc. currently deployed in the airspace of the Liuqiu and Green Zone areas have not detected any movement from the blue side.
Since the last attack on the Strait Transport Brigade, the blue side has been as quiet as a zombie that has crawled into a coffin and fallen asleep again.
But this is even worse.
Zombies want to bite. You know they want to bite you, but you don’t know when they will suddenly crawl out of the coffin, pounce on you, open their mouth and take a fatal bite on your neck.
time.
The most important and precious thing now is time.
The aerospace department is already deploying the next wave of satellite launches. As long as you give yourself a week, Beidou's functions will be restored to at least half, and there will be no problem maintaining positioning support in the Y continent.
But Li Zheng also knew.
Blue is not stupid.
They will definitely take action in the next few days, before they have recovered their positioning and guidance capabilities.
Time passes very slowly.
When Li was restless in his command post, the huge, silent and mysterious stratospheric aerostat was like a big invisible fish, passing through the night and through the day, quietly 30,000 meters above the ground.
High in the sky, he quietly headed towards Miyajima.
Fatty Wei was sitting in the pod, looking at the arc-shaped earth outside through the porthole window, which felt a bit like a science fiction scene in a movie.
Finally, the red light in the cabin came on.
The two officers responsible for controlling the aerostat turned around, walked in front of everyone, and pulled them up from the seats one by one like pulling out carrots.
"Get ready, you can jump in about twenty minutes!"
Fatty Wei asked loudly: "Have you found Miyajima?!"
"Found it! I couldn't find the terrain or reference objects. I checked them and marked them!"
He took out his military PAD and called up the electronic map.
"Check mark them all!"
After checking the marks, everyone began to check their equipment again.
Then there is the queue. Because the weight on the body is too high, it is a bit difficult to walk, and it is as clumsy as a toddling duck. If these people are not special forces, ordinary people will not be able to bear this kind of weight, let alone
Moved my steps.
The two officers operating the aerostat helped everyone line up in front of the hatch.
After finishing everything, they returned to their operating consoles and continued to control the aerostat to drift toward Miyajima.
Standing in front of the cabin door, Fatty Wei began to sweat again.
