Zhao Tianyu, with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, and Yunyue, with the rank of major general, stood in front of the tactical squadron, their eyes revealing solemnity and seriousness.
"You are all veterans of the Longyin Army. I won't talk about unnecessary pre-war mobilization. You should know what you will face and what you need to do. You don't need me to say more." Zhao Tianyu said: "
You are the elite of the Longyin Army and the elite of our country's special forces. I wish you a triumphant return!"
The helicopter sent the tactical squadron to a certain air force airport. A fully fueled transport plane was ready. Zhao Tianyu and Yunyue stood upright in front of the transport plane with sunglasses on their noses.
Zhao Tianyu and Yunyue clenched their fists, looked at the tactical squadron who got off the helicopter with equipment bags, and fist-bumped each of them goodbye.
The members of the tactical squadron were sitting on the seats on both sides of the transport aircraft with parachute bags on their backs. Their tactical backpacks were hung on their chests and equipment bags were placed at their feet.
The rear hatch of the transport aircraft slowly retracted. At the moment when the hatch was completely closed, Zhao Tianyu and Yunyue turned around, stood up straight with a "pop" sound, and gave a standard salute to the tactical squadron members sitting in the cabin.
military salute.
The four engines of the transport plane started to work, and the huge roar caused by the engine rotation impacted the eardrums of Zhao Tianyu and Yunyue. The transport plane slowly slid past the two of them, and then entered the take-off runway under the guidance of the tower.
After entering the runway, it started to accelerate and run. After the four engine speeds reached the take-off requirements, the pilot pulled up the control stick and controlled the aircraft to take off.
It wasn't until the transport plane completely disappeared into the sky that Zhao Tianyu and Yunyue got into the car next to them, turned around and left.
…
It was a long and boring flight with no entertainment facilities and no beautiful flight attendants to provide meals and drinks.
The two maps drawn by Hong Lin and Li Ran were copied more than a dozen times, and each member of the tactical squadron held a copy of the map.
Although each of them has read these two maps more than a hundred times, and can even draw the maps with their eyes closed, they are still holding the maps and looking at them in order to remember clearly every word on the map.
The details firmly engraved the map in their minds.
More than ten hours later, the transport plane entered the sky over the Sahara Desert.
Zhao Tianyu did not believe that a prevention and control system would not be deployed near the "Dark Moon" lair, so according to the plan, the tactical squadron would land ten kilometers away from the "Dark Moon" lair, and then they would need to walk ten kilometers in the desert to get close
"Dark Moon" lair.
Parachuting over the Sahara Desert is a very dangerous thing, because once the team encounters a sandstorm during the parachute, the team will be blown away in the desert. Losing equipment and supplies in the desert is a dead end.
Even though they had carefully checked the weather during the parachute drop, the members of the tactical squadron still did not dare to take it lightly. The weather in the desert may change at any time. It may be clear when leaving the transport plane, but when the body falls in the air
, it is possible that things will change.
This is a process of competing for character and looking at luck. The essence of war is luck, and no one who can come out of the battlefield alive is unlucky.
"The tactical squadron will arrive at the airdrop area in ten minutes."
The pilot's prompt came from the headsets of the tactical squadron members.
The members of the tactical squadron who were resting against the cabin with their eyes closed immediately became energetic and sat upright.
"Everyone check weapons and equipment!"
Luo Hao gave orders to the tactical squadron members in the cabin and said: "Prepare to parachute!"
"five minutes!"
The tactical squadron members in the cabin put on breathing masks and pulled down the windproof glasses hanging on the headboard.
"One minute!"
The members of the tactical squadron stood up from their chairs and faced the tail door with their equipment bags. The equipment bags were equipped with small parachutes. The members of the tactical squadron hung the hooks of the parachutes on the equipment bags on the steel cables installed in the cabin. Transport aircraft
The tail hatch of the transport plane slowly opened, and it was a sunny day outside the transport plane. The sun in the sky was so bright that the eyes of the tactical squadron members who had been sitting in the transport plane for more than ten hours could not adapt for a while.
"Thirty seconds!"
The transport plane began to lower its flight altitude.
"Twenty seconds!"
The flight altitude of the transport aircraft is four thousand meters above the ground, and the flight altitude of the transport aircraft continues to decrease.
"Ten seconds!"
The flight altitude of the transport plane dropped to 3,500 meters, and the red indicator light on the door came on.
"Dang!"
When the red indicator light turned green, the tactical squadron members first dropped the equipment bags placed on the ground from the transport aircraft.
After the equipment bag flies out of the transport aircraft, the hook on the steel cable on the parachute of the equipment bag pulls open the parachute on the equipment bag.
In the dry and hot air, green parachutes were opened one by one, and the equipment bags falling under the parachutes swayed toward the ground.
After throwing the equipment package off the transport aircraft, the tactical squadron members in the cabin also jumped out of the aircraft.
The rear hatch of the transport aircraft retracted, and the transport aircraft, which was less than two thousand meters above the ground, was raised again. The air waves rolled up by the four high-power engines blew up a small sandstorm.
The tactical squadron opened parachutes at an altitude of 300 meters to ensure that the team would not be scattered after landing.
As his feet landed on the ground, Luo Hao untied the parachute on his body, and the bulging parachute was immediately blown behind Luo Hao.
After landing, Luo Hao picked up the HK416A5 automatic rifle hung on his body and painted in desert camouflage. He pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet. He squatted on the ground and stared at the ACOG scope on the tactical rail, maintaining a defensive posture.
"Tactical squadron report!" Luo Hao pressed the headset and said.
"Ice Blade, here it comes!"
"Fox, get in position!"
"Sudiao, here we come!"
"..."
After confirming that all members of the tactical squadron landed safely, Luo Hao once again ordered through the headset: "Group B builds a defense circle, and groups A and C recycle equipment as fast as possible!"
In the desert, Tactical Group A and Tactical Group C immediately ran towards the equipment bags that had fallen in the desert and had green parachutes hanging on them.
The sun in the desert is very strong, and all that can be seen in the field of vision is a dull yellow color. White parachutes tend to reflect in the sun, while green parachutes are easier to spot in the desert.
A dozen equipment bags were all quickly recovered.
"Let's go and meet up with the Arctic Wolf and the people from 'Purgatory' first."
Luo Hao ordered the members of the tactical squadron who were following behind him: "Advance the vanguard group! The sniper group should be on alert. From now on we can't relax at all!"
