After 90 minutes, Jin Donghai and all the team members felt that their hands and feet were frozen.
Low-temperature seawater is the most likely to cause the body to lose body temperature quickly. Especially when traveling in the deep sea at night, the temperature is much lower than during the day, even close to zero.
Unlike the helmsman and the navigator, the first two people did not need to participate in combat, so they wore thick thermal underwear under their diving suits, while the Jiaolong team members had to land to perform their tasks, so they put on combat uniforms and
After a bulletproof vest, it is difficult to put on anything else.
All the cold can only be countered by the excellent physical fitness of the team members.
Of course, when the Jiaolong team comes ashore, the helmsman and navigator will have to stay in the boat for a long time. They must return to the so-called location of the submarine and wait for the team members to return here after performing their mission and continue to pick them up.
Fortunately, this suffering came to an end soon.
The navy sergeant in charge of navigation suddenly turned around and gestured to the Jiaolong team behind him. A clear and low voice came from the earphones: "We are approaching the designated sea area and will soon rise to the sea level. Be ready to leave.
Carrier, before leaving, put away and lock all the seats and don't make too much noise. Help your teammates check the equipment and weapons to see if there is anything missing. This is not a taxi. If you miss it, you can still turn back. According to the weather
It is predicted that the weather in Yemen will be good these two days. I wish you success in carrying out your mission!"
Jin Donghai bent down and picked up the equipment bag fixed under his seat. Not only did it contain various tactical accessories and ammunition, but even weapons were tied to it to prevent it from shaking.
While all the Jiaolong team members were checking their equipment, they could feel the carrier begin to slow down and finally rise slowly toward the water.
The depth of 30 meters is considered a deep dive. In addition to oxygen, the gas tanks on the Jiaolong team members also contain some inert gases. These inert gases will produce small bubbles in the blood vessels of the human body.
Therefore, you must float slowly and expel small bubbles little by little with your breathing. However, if you suddenly rise to the sea surface, not only will the bubbles not be expelled, but they will also become larger. The enlarged bubbles may block blood vessels in any part of the body.
, life is in danger at any time.
"Almost! We will reach the designated location in a few dozen meters and are ready to leave the cabin!"
The navigator's voice came from the earphones again, and then the carrier sailed one meter below the sea surface close to the sea level at a low speed. Until finally, the helmsman turned off the motor, the propeller stopped, and the surroundings fell into complete silence.
Silent, sneaking in.
This is the essence of special operations, and every Jiaolong team member who has received rigorous training is well versed in this.
After stopping, the carrier was not in a hurry to surface immediately. Instead, it extended a small periscope and began to observe the situation on the surrounding coastline.
This is a deserted beach near Hudaydah Port. At this time, except for the slightly white sand under the dim moonlight, a row of windbreaks and low shrubs with swaying tree shadows, no living people were found around it.
trace.
"Go up." The navigator patted the helmsman on the shoulder.
The helmsman slowly raised the carrier to the water. After it stopped, the front and rear cabins slowly emerged from the water. Through the glass, Jin Donghai and the team members could see the surrounding situation through the diving goggles on their heads.
The white sandy beach is embedded in the edge of the coastline like a long jade belt, surrounding the junction of the land and the sea. If it were not for the war, this would be a paradise on earth.
They are about less than one nautical mile away from the seaside. It is impossible for the carrier to go any further because if the water is too shallow, the underwater carrier will easily be exposed. Although the area is very remote, no one can guarantee whether there is any trace.
Fishermen fishing at night pass by.
Everything must be done strictly in accordance with the special operations regulations.
"There is still about a mile, so you can swim there by yourself. We will return to the submarine and wait for your signal. Send the signal early and we will come to pick you up!"
"Okay!" Jin Donghai climbed out of the cabin, "Be careful!"
After that, everyone took out their equipment from the cabin, then dragged their backpacks and started swimming towards the shore in the sea water.
For a member of the Jiaolong Commando, the sea is the place they are most familiar with. In actual calculation, one nautical mile is only a little over 1.8 kilometers, which does not pose any difficulty to these special forces members who have been training for ten kilometers of armed swimming all year round.
Behind him, the underwater vehicle closed its cabin, slowly sank into the water, and soon disappeared on the dark sea.
In less than an hour, the six team members were already in waist-deep water, but they were in no hurry to go ashore.
In the Navy's special forces soldiers' infiltration training, you must always be cautious and cautious when performing tasks in unknown areas. It will never be like charging all the way like God's vision in the movie blockbuster.
No one knew whether someone would emerge from the dark shadows of the trees, or whether there would be an opponent like a sniper ambushing behind the short bushes.
Jin Donghai took out his night vision device. He stood in the water and bent his waist as much as possible so that only the body above his neck was exposed to the water.
After carefully observing the surroundings and confirming that there was no source of life heat, he made a tactical move forward to the Jiaolong team members around him.
Everyone unloaded the guns and ammunition from their backpacks, loaded the bullets and turned on the safety, and then started walking towards the beach under the weak moonlight in the sky.
According to the meteorological data previously obtained in the submarine, in the next few days, the sky in the Yemen area will be dry, hot and sunny, and the visibility is very good, but this is not a good thing for special infiltration operations.
With good sight, you can easily spot the enemy, and similarly, the enemy can easily spot your presence.
In special operations, everything has two sides.
Once on the beach, everyone suddenly quickened their pace, bent down and ran quickly, running all the way to the edge of the bushes at the edge of the woods, hiding their figures.
"Hurry up and change your equipment. It's now ten o'clock at night. We must arrive at the designated location and find the target before dawn. Before dawn, we must find the people and evacuate here at night. The situation here is getting more and more chaotic.
We must avoid getting involved in their wars and remember, we are only here to take people out, not to fight."
"Understood, captain!" Third-level sergeant Wang Dongcheng nodded.
The other teammates made OK gestures one after another to show that they understood.
"Ge Qiming! Position your position immediately!" Jin Donghai gave the order to He Liang, a medical soldier and technical correspondent.
Ge Qiming took out the handheld PAD from his backpack, blocked the light with a camouflage bag, and lit up the screen. After opening the GPS positioning software, a red dot flashed on the screen.
"The signal is very good, captain. The target is still alive and waiting for us where we are."
Everything seemed to be going well. Jin Donghai took a deep breath of the slightly fishy air and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
This is the first time he has led a team on a special mission, and it is also the best time for him to prove himself. As long as he successfully completes the mission, he can prove to everyone that he is not the kind of officer who gets promotions solely based on his family background.
"Walk!"
After everyone took off their diving suits and found a place to bury them nearby, Jin Donghai waved his hand and all the Jiaolong team members quickly disappeared into the dark shadow of the woods.
