Liu Bin was disappointed and was about to pick a taller man among his own soldiers. The American pilot pulled out a black man wearing only a shirt from the crowd, patted his chest and strongly recommended him to Liu Bin, ensuring that he would be fine.
Liu Bin didn't think much and asked the black man to enter the cockpit and replace Ye Han.
The black man smiled brightly, showing a mouth full of white teeth, and excitedly rubbed his hands and got into the cockpit.
Ye Han passed by the black man and looked at the black man in surprise. He always felt that something was wrong with his smile.
But the black man took over the plane immediately after he sat down. His movements were very skillful and he didn't look like a novice at first glance.
Ye Han's doubts were immediately gone, and he immediately put the matter behind him, and with the help of Liu Bin, put the power armor on his body.
The armors thrown away by the soldiers were all the most common popular models. Ye Han's armor was a tailor-made command model. It had very powerful communication functions and was much more expensive than ordinary armor.
After putting on the armor, the system started automatically and entered working status after a few seconds. Ye Han immediately contacted the space fleet: "671 calls 451, please answer when you receive it!"
"451 received, 671 please speak!"
"451, our unit is flying north in a helicopter. The target is southern Sudan. We need to airdrop fuel supplies!"
"671, our ship has no aviation fuel reserves!"
"671 I understand, it's over."
After the communication ended, Ye Han switched the communication frequency and continued calling: "671 is calling Tiangong, please answer when you receive it!"
"Tiangong received it, please tell me."
Ye Han briefly explained the current situation, and finally talked about the fuel issue and asked Tiangong to contact the Qiongzhou base.
The training ground and launch site of the Marine Corps are both in Qiongzhou. Ye Han is very familiar with the situation there. There is absolutely no technical problem in using a return-type spacecraft to launch a batch of aviation fuel.
In addition, Ye Han also applied to the base to launch 21 sets of power armor on board the ship - the troops still have to stay in Africa for a while, what can they do without equipment?
Hearing that Ye Han had thrown away twenty sets of power armor, Huo Qiang almost had a heart attack, jumping on his feet and scolding the prodigal.
As the technology gradually matures, the cost of power armor has indeed dropped a lot in recent years. The problem is that the price of this thing still remains above tens of millions, and it has not dropped to the point where it can be thrown away casually.
However, after understanding the details, Huo Qiang had no choice but to accept this annoying fact.
Today is not a time of war when there is a shortage of this and that, let alone an era where one has to sacrifice one's life to protect equipment. Human life is more valuable than equipment. Under no circumstances can the safety of soldiers be ignored because of equipment.
This is the progress of humanities and the necessity of development.
The Qiongzhou base mobilized supplies as quickly as possible. In addition to fuel and power armor, some supplies were also placed on the spacecraft.
Not only that, the military is also actively contacting the US military to study how to save survivors.
The plane's arrival in southern Sudan was only the first step in escaping. There was still a straight-line distance of 2,000 kilometers from Djibouti. Even if fuel was air-dropped, there was no possibility of flying back to Djibouti.
During the consultation process, the two sides came up with two rescue plans.
First, after obtaining fuel in South Sudan, continue flying to the northeast, heading eastward along the southern border of the Sahara Desert, and airdropping at intervals until the plane returns to Djibouti, or flies directly to the Red Sea coast in eastern Sudan, from
A warship sent by the navy took him back to Djibouti.
The second is to find a suitable landing site, and Djibouti will send a transport plane to take the survivors on the helicopter back to Djibouti.
Plan No. 1 was too complicated, and both sides preferred Plan No. 2. After the two armies reached an agreement, they immediately looked for a suitable site for transport planes to land in southern Sudan.
The American side quickly found a section of road suitable for landing and notified the helicopter of the road coordinates.
This section of road is within the range of the helicopter, so the helicopter does not need to continue to transfer. The airdrop applied for by Ye Han was also canceled by the military.
Later, the space battleship began to clear away the nearby giant insects in preparation for the plane's landing.
Ye Han was relieved that the rescue problem was solved, and began to care about Morobida's situation.
It can be seen from satellite images that the Morrobida Airport is still occupied by spider ants, and all buildings are shrouded in flames. The airport and the base of the multinational forces were destroyed together.
Looking at the spider cave again, no counterattack firepower can be seen in the cave, but there is a burning armored vehicle at the entrance of the cave. It seems that the trapped people deliberately blocked the entrance of the cave to defend against spider ants.
Ye Han couldn't help but sigh. It only took half a day for the bug to completely end the results of more than a month of hard work by the multinational forces. Is this considered a victory for the bug, or does the aliens seal the victory?
Two hours later, the helicopter finally arrived near the highway and landed on the sand on the side of the highway.
Through the night vision device on the armor, we can see that there are corpses of giant ants everywhere near the highway, and there are many even on the highway.
These were giant insects that the space fleet had just killed. In order to ensure the safety of the transport plane, Ye Han personally led the team to leave the plane and go to the highway to clean up the insect corpses.
This place is already relatively barren, and the limited resources cannot support a few bugs. With the space fleet escorting it, there is no need to worry about giant bug attacks.
Seven minutes after the helicopter landed, a low roar of engines could be heard from the horizon. A few minutes later, the transport plane successfully landed on the road.
Before the transport plane could stop, the American soldiers on the helicopter immediately jumped out of the plane and rushed towards the transport plane like a swarm of swarms.
Upon seeing this, Ye Han quickly told Liu Bin to lead the team and ordered everyone to board the plane immediately.
More than seventy people quickly rushed to the transport plane. The transport plane opened its tail hatch and everyone rushed in... Soon after, the transport plane took off and flew towards Djibouti in the night.
At around 11 o'clock at night, the transport plane landed at the US military's Djibouti airport. Vehicles sent by the Chinese base had been waiting at the airport for a long time. Ye Han and others were picked up as soon as they got off the plane.
After returning to his home base, the driver took Ye Han directly to Zhuang Bo's dormitory. Zhuang Bo asked about the entire operation in detail, and also mentioned the discarded power armor and asked Ye Han if it was possible to get these armors back.
This is not what Zhuang Bo meant, but the domestic thinking.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Early the next morning, the base received a notification from the US military. The multinational troops trapped in the spider cave were attacked from two sides by spider ants. They had run out of ammunition and food. All the airdropped supplies were outside the cave and were trapped in the cave.
The troops in the cave couldn't get the airdropped supplies at all.
The United States hoped that China could send troops to provide assistance, but Zhuang Bo politely refused.
Just kidding, there are only a few manpower in the first place, and more than 20 sets of power armor were thrown in. Counting Ye Han and Liu Bin, there are only nine equipped marines in total. How can they fight against the overwhelming spider ants?
