Just before the MC-10H transport plane took off, a plane that had already been dispatched was already hovering at an altitude of 15,000 feet near the town of Cavalon.
This is a King Air 50i that looks like an ordinary business jet. It is actually a spy plane. Its cabin is equipped with a large number of military electronic surveillance equipment and surveillance equipment, and several high-tech cameras are aimed at Kava.
Veneto's manor in Long Town is closely monitoring the activities inside.
In the cabin, six US military technical officers and soldiers were sitting. One of them, an officer with a headset, was walking up and down the aisle, his eyes constantly scanning the images and data on the rows of computer screens in front of him.
Since the height above the ground is more than 10,000 meters, even high-tech monitoring equipment still needs to carefully filter out the huge noise emitted by the two PT6A-60A engines on the aircraft, and then use the software in the instrument to filter other noises and track them
What you want to hear.
They have been hovering in the air for two hours, but they still haven't found the information they need.
This is an important part of the entire "Starlight" plan.
Pre-war intelligence collection often determines whether the entire operation can proceed smoothly.
Although Maggie provided the coordinates, location and personnel, if the 50I spy plane failed to confirm the authenticity of Maggie's information at Cavallon's manor, the rescue operation of the entire SEAL team might be delayed.
The U.S. military is very cautious in this regard. Their military operations are often backed by powerful and rigorous military reconnaissance and intelligence support. No one wants to risk a special forces force in an area where there is no clear information at all. Back then, the U.S. military
The Battle of Gadishu was a complete failure due to omissions in intelligence and flaws in the command system. In the end, the entire U.S. military retreated from Somalia to the mainland in despair.
Suddenly, a technical sergeant sitting in front of the screen raised his hand, pointed at his screen, and motioned the officer to look towards him.
The officer stopped, quickly switched the channel to the sergeant's monitoring device and pressed his earphones firmly with his hand, so that he could hear more clearly.
His solemn expression gradually relaxed and he smiled.
It was almost certain that he heard what he wanted.
"OK, send it out." He nodded to the technical sergeant and gave his order.
The technical sergeant quickly flicked his fingers on the keyboard, entered a line of commands, and then pressed the "send" key.
The images, sounds and text information obtained by the surveillance are all packaged and sent directly to the base headquarters in Port-au-Prince through the satellite network. These data will lay the foundation for tonight's "Starlight" operation.
…
After the MC-10 set off, two Predator drones carrying AGM-114 Hellfire missiles also taxied to the base in Port-au-Prince, quickly took off and disappeared into the night sky.
…
In the cabin, Qin Fei looked at the SEALs sitting opposite. They seemed very relaxed, talking about interesting things about the team, teasing their superiors, laughing at each other, and then laughing, revealing their white faces in the darkness.
teeth.
Suddenly, the lights in the cabin turned red.
Senior noncommissioned officer Sith and leader Lieutenant Noland stood up.
"Boys! And our beautiful girl! Get up! In ten minutes, we are going to skydive!"
Everyone stood up from their seats one after another, like obedient friends in kindergarten, lined up one after another, and slowly walked to the gate at the tail of the plane.
Ten minutes later, the place will open, and everyone will jump into the dark night sky and land in an open land near the town of Cavalon.
Everyone began to carefully check their weapons and equipment and GPS locators again, and then Senior Petty Officer Sith checked everyone's umbrella bags again like a mother-in-law.
This is the most important thing. Other things can cause problems, but the umbrella bag cannot. It will cause people to fall directly into a box.
With a dull mechanical sound, the chief engineer standing at the rear of the cabin opened the tail door, and the airflow swept into the cabin. Everyone felt a chill on their faces, even though it was a hot summer and in the hot middle of the day.
Over the Americas, the temperature is still very low.
Sis walked up to Noland and said loudly to him: "We just received the latest intelligence. The CIA spy plane confirmed that Dan is in Cavalon's manor and sent us the latest detailed information."
"How is the situation? Is there any change from what we studied before?" Lieutenant Noland asked.
"There are no big changes." The Sith Sergeant Major pouted angrily in Maggie's direction: "The intelligence provided by that little girl is very accurate. The number of people, weapons, and architectural plans are all very consistent. The only thing we have to worry about now is whether our actions are correct.
Just be quick enough and don't let the armed forces of the Zeta group get entangled."
The lights in the cabin switch to green.
The chief engineer made a gesture to Noland and said loudly: "Above the target! The situation is good! You can parachute!"
"Okay! Let's do it!"
Lieutenant Noland walked to the rear of the plane and gave a thumbs up to the soldier first in line.
"I'll jump first! Follow me!"
After that, he rushed towards the open tail of the plane and jumped out.
Immediately afterwards, the poster team members at the back began to jump out one after another like a string of candied haws.
Qin Fei stood at the back of the team, and Sergeant Major Sis stood behind him.
Sis patted Qin Fei's parachute bag and encouraged him loudly: "Don't be afraid, there is an automatic parachute opening device. The parachute will automatically open when it falls to a height of 800 feet. You just need to follow them!"
Qin Fei couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. This veteran obviously regarded himself as a rookie.
I was really destined to be a rookie. No matter where I went, I was not trusted by others because I was too young. I always focused on the target, just like it was the same in the 0 unit back then.
Qin Fei followed Maggie and jumped out of the cabin, and the airflow swept him away. Fortunately, he had already put on windshield goggles and night vision goggles, and the laser devices on everyone were turned on at this time, so he could see in the night sky
I saw the other team members who had jumped out of the cabin before, like flickering fireflies in the darkness.
Qin Fei put his hands and feet together to accelerate in the air and caught up with the entire SEAL team formation.
These SEAL team members did not follow one after another when parachuting. Different from Qin Fei's first high jump and low jump, they were somewhat playful in the air. They all centered on the officer Noland, and everyone almost formed a circle around them.
Round.
Sisi caught up with Qin Fei, gave him a thumbs up in the air, and then pointed at a group of people floating in the air in front of him.
The two of them approached the circle formed by that person, about ten meters apart.
The numbers on the altimeter in his hand began to jump, and the numbers dropped sharply. At this moment, Qin Fei's falling speed reached 50 meters per second.
Qin Fei has been paying attention to the altimeter, because this time he used an automatic parachute opening device, which is different from the manual parachute opening that he used to jump before. People are somewhat distrustful of electronic equipment. No one knows whether this thing will suddenly cause wind.
What went wrong.
If the parachute has not yet been opened when the parachute is lower than 800 feet, Qin Fei will not hesitate to choose manual operation, otherwise he will fall to the ground and become a puddle of meat paste in only a few seconds.
Suddenly, Qin Fei felt himself being pulled upward by a strong force.
