The time that day seemed to be infinitely magnified several times.
Li Zheng didn't know how many times he looked at his watch. Sometimes he even had to shake the military watch, which aroused doubts he had never had before - was the watch broken?
Yes.
Time seems to pass too slowly.
Usually I always feel that there is not enough time and time passes too fast.
But this time, Li Zheng felt that time had stopped.
Every minute and second is suffering.
In the sea area where the ship docked, the sea breeze seemed to have subsided, and the air was stuffy and hot, as if it was frozen by the nervous breath. Only occasionally a few heartless seagulls flew over, stopped on the deck, and called hoarsely a few times.
He made a sound, flapped his wings a few times, and flew away again.
17:20 pm.
In the command center of the No. 2 ship, the noncommissioned officer of the communication team suddenly turned around: "Report to the team leader, the commander is looking for you!"
Are you looking for the commander?
The duty tactical team leader of the No. 2 ship almost rushed to the radio station and picked up the microphone.
"I am Han Lin, the watch team leader of the No. 2 ship. Commander, please speak."
"Han Lin, the procedures for our formation to enter the port have been approved and can now dock. The first batch of evacuees, 124 people, are already waiting on the dock. Your ship will enter the port immediately at maximum speed and cooperate with the dock staff and the military.
Carry out the evacuation mission immediately!”
"Yes! Commander!"
The shift leader of the No. 2 ship was so excited that he almost jumped up.
After waiting for a full ten hours, I finally got this exciting news.
The previous haze was gone, and the team leader on duty almost dropped the microphone and immediately issued the departure order.
"Also, I have a request."
"Commander, please speak."
"My request is just one word - fast! Everything must be fast! Come and pick up and leave quickly! The situation in country y is very serious. It is said that the HS armed forces have already arrived near the port area. After we enter, everything will be strictly implemented according to the established plan.
, there can’t be any delay, it must—I said must! The mission must be completed successfully!”
"I promise the motherland that we will successfully complete the evacuation mission!"
The duty team leader put down the microphone this time and said to the captain: "Old Chen, set off for Hudaydah Port immediately! The procedures have been completed and the order has been approved!"
"good!"
The captain had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and he quickly picked up the phone.
"Please note, all departments on the ship, we are leaving for Hodeidah Port immediately. The heads of each department must strictly abide by the plan and ensure that no mistakes are made within the scope of their responsibility. The special operations team enters the starting position and establishes a warning line immediately after arriving at the port.
.”
After that, he gave an order: "Let's go!"
Ship No. 2 roared loudly, and billowing waves rolled up at the rear of the ship. The modern frigate sailed towards the target port at the fastest speed.
The ship is moving.
In the cabin, every commando became excited.
Everyone couldn't wait to dock, and under the command of Xiao Jun, they all gathered on the deck.
Since in the plan, the No. 2 ship was the first to dock and carry out the evacuation mission, Xiao Jun came over from the No. 1 ship to the No. 2 ship and personally directed the security arrangements after the ship docked.
In fact, the reason why Ship No. 2 was arranged was because the information sent back by DSG personnel on shore showed that the list of the first batch of evacuated compatriots was only 124 people.
In terms of transport capacity, the No. 2 ship with the smallest displacement is most suitable for carrying out the first batch of evacuation missions.
Ship No. 1 is a destroyer with a relatively large displacement. They can temporarily carry more than 200 people on board without any problem.
The No. 3 ship is a comprehensive supply ship with the largest displacement, but the supply ship's defense capabilities are average. Therefore, acting together with the No. 1 ship, they will carry out a larger number of evacuation missions in the future.
The whole plan is very scientific and was thought up by everyone's brainstorming. As for whether there are loopholes, we can only confirm it when we get there and see the actual situation.
Plans are dead, people are alive.
There is no essential difference between evacuation of overseas Chinese and combat. Tactical evacuation is also a type of tactics. As the saying goes, troops are unpredictable. How to make temporary deployments in response to emergencies will test the military quality and ability of the formation commanders.
On the deck, Xiao Jun was urging everyone to do a final equipment inspection.
Everyone is fully dressed.
Except for not carrying a tactical backpack, everyone else is wearing clothes.
The clothes were changed into black anti-terrorism tactics uniforms, because it was already dark. Although the sun set late here and there was still plenty of light, everyone was still asked to bring night vision equipment.
Other than that is ammunition.
Various ammunition.
Bullets, shock bombs, grenades, smoke bombs...
Compared with the other team members who disembarked and were on guard duty, Li Zheng and Fatty Wei looked a little lonely.
One of them is a sniper team and the other is a machine gun team.
One of them is on the roof of the driving building, and the other is on the edge of the deck.
In the entire No. 2 ship squadron, they were the only two groups left on the ship.
It's a bit of a pity that I couldn't go ashore.
But being able to participate is enough to be proud of.
"Check your own things, and check the power of night vision equipment. Although I estimate that the first batch of compatriots will evacuate soon, but be prepared. Experience tells us that we cannot take it lightly. Mogadishu back then..."
Xiao Jun mentioned the battle example of the Bald Eagle Special Forces in Mogadishu as a reminder.
That's right.
Those who participated in that operation included Rangers, Deltas, SEALs and other first-class special forces, which could be considered an elite force.
Because of this, many people looked down upon the local militia organizations before setting off. Some of the Rangers even chose to give up bulletproof inserts in order to reduce their load. Others carried very little ammunition, which was not enough to sustain a long-term firefight, and even more dangerous.
The strange thing is that some of the commandos thought that they would just go back and it would not take much time until night, so they didn't even bring night vision equipment with them.
result?
The result has been written into the history of the war, and the price paid was lives.
Amidst the roar of the warship's engine, the waves in the Gulf of Aden were cracked open like tofu.
The gathering preparations on the deck have been dismissed, and the Jiaolong team members who have disembarked have been deployed near the gangway. Once they dock, they will be the first to go down and establish a defense line and warning zone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The teams of Li Zheng and Fatty Wei have already arrived at their scheduled locations.
Li Zheng found a deck on the driving building and lay down on the deck, setting up his high-precision sniper.
Hou Jun on the side was adjusting his observation equipment, setting up the tripod and putting the observation glass on it.
For long-term observation, he must use a tripod.
The tripod is a good thing. It can’t be used when there are no conditions in the field. If there are conditions, the observation hand will love this thing. At least the hands will not suffer too much.
After debugging, the two sat down, looked in front of the ship in the direction of the port, took out the water bottle and started to add some water.
"Don't drink too much. Don't wait until you have to pee and have to find the toilet."
Hou Jun teased Li Zheng.
Li Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, old squad leader. I'm a proven sniper. The worst I can do is wet my pants. I promise I won't leave midway."
The two were talking and laughing, and the warship was getting closer and closer to the port.
When the outline of the port appeared in Li Zheng and Hou Jun's sight, they both picked up their scopes and observation glasses and looked in the general direction.
It didn't matter at first glance. When the scene of the port came into view, both of them were shocked.
Li Zheng asked Hou Jun: "Old squad leader, have you seen it?"
"I saw it. What RPG were you talking about?" Hou Jun's eyes never left the observation glass for a moment.
Just now, the two of them saw a rocket rising from the west side near the port. They probably missed the target and missed the target, so they flew into the air and flew to an altitude of tens of meters.
Before night fell, when the sun was setting in the west, seeing such a scene under bloody clouds everywhere, it was as magical as it could be. The aura of the battlefield immediately hit his face, and Li Zheng's mind immediately had various thoughts.
Participated in combat scenes.
The blood belonging to the warrior began to run in the blood vessels at a crazy speed.
