Chapter 134 Arrival at the destination 6th month ticket
Jebbard Base.
The major commander led the command team and opened a forward command center here. The command center was codenamed Sparta.
Murphy's team traveled through the mountains and forests all night, and the command center was also brightly lit all night long.
As Murphy's team continued to move forward and passed through pre-determined path points, feedback communications were also transmitted back to the command center one by one.
"Call Apollo 2-2, Spartan O-1 has arrived at Budweiser, can you receive it?"
"Apollo 2-2, Spartan O-1 arriving at Miller."
"Apollo 2-2, this is Spartan O-1, has arrived in Corona."
"Call Apollo 2-2, Spartan O1...hiss...hi...hiss..."
The communication at the first three waypoints was very clear, and except that the travel time exceeded the schedule, everything else went smoothly.
The reporting process at the fourth waypoint was not as smooth as the previous three.
There was serious interference in the first communication, and the command center could not hear clearly at all.
The command center asked for three repetitions in a row. When Dietz reported for the fourth time, he accurately completed the fourth march point - Heineken's report.
Since the communication was successfully completed in the end, it did not have any major impact on the operation.
The task has not been terminated.
The action continues.
In fact, the US military's military operations in Afghanistan will basically have communication problems to some extent, and everyone has long been used to it.
When a mistake has not been corrected for a long time and becomes a habit, the mistake will not be taken seriously.
When Long Zhan and the others arrived at the first observation point from Heili, the sun had already appeared in the eastern valley, and the darkness had been completely dispelled.
The arrival of a new day.
After walking all night, Murphy's team finally arrived at the final destination of their trip.
Standing on the top of a stone mountain with very sparse vegetation, Long Zhan could already see the mountain col in the distance with his naked eyes, including the Kadaku village 1.5 kilometers away.
“Smoother than expected!”
Long Zhan smiled secretly, turned back and took out a high-precision military map. He used surveying and mapping tools and GPS positioning to double confirm that there were no errors in the position.
Turning to Dietz, he said: "I have carried out testing and comparison to confirm that this is the first observation point. You can contact the base."
"OK!"
The location of Dietz is better, so there is no need to look for additional places.
Remove the communication system on the spot, turn on the signal enhancement folding antenna, adjust the channel and call: "Spartan Base, this is Spartan O-1, communication check."
The target of the call this time has changed, from last night's Apollo 2-2 to the forward operations center.
The reason for this change is that Murphy's team has reached its final position and needs to connect with the command center.
As Murphy's team went deeper into the mountains and forests, the quality of the signal became worse and worse.
When reporting at the fourth waypoint, there was already communication white noise, and now it is even more serious at the final observation point.
Nearly half a minute passed after the first call, but there was no fixed response at all.
The second call was still in vain.
There was no movement until the third call, but the sound in the earphones was intermittent and unclear, and neither Dietz nor the base could hear clearly.
Dietz could only keep repeating to the base to convey that the team had arrived at the first observation point.
As long as you can hear it completely and clearly once.
There was a problem with the radio communication, and Marcus and Matt, as observers, also encountered a difficult problem.
"Murphy, this observation point looks like shit. Half of the village is blocked."
Matt and Murphy have a relatively good relationship, and they call each other more casually, and they do not address each other as chief according to the regulations.

Murphy picked up a high-power observation scope and looked over, and found that due to the angle, only half of the village could be seen.
"What the hell!"
I couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
Although the other half of the village is blocked by trees and mountains due to the viewing angle, Murphy's team can still conduct observations here.
However, without having the entire view of the village, it is likely that Shah will not be observed accurately.
Without seeing the Shah himself, it was impossible to take direct action.
"It's impossible to observe from this angle. We need to find a way to solve it."
Murphy realized that this situation was not good, and as a commander, he began to think about what method should be used to solve the problem at hand.
On the other side, Dietz finally completed the report to the Spartan base after continuous calls.
"Sir, although our communication with Spartan O-1 has occasionally been interrupted, we have received definite reports that they have arrived at the first observation point."
The communications officer who communicated with Murphy's team reported to the major officer.
"Okay, guys."
The major officer, who had not slept all night, rubbed his face, got up and came to the task board.
He crossed out the last Schlitz malt and said to the 10 soldiers waiting in the room: "The reconnaissance team has arrived at the designated location. Team 1 will return to Bagram with me. Team 2 will see you again. Don't have to enjoy yourself. Good night."
After finishing speaking, the major officer walked quietly towards the door.
Perhaps it was because staying up late slowed down thinking and reaction, or maybe he simply didn’t think about it, but the major officer didn’t feel that there were any problems with the mission, nor did he feel that any changes to the plan needed to be made.
Sean, Frank and others were on the bench and didn't notice anything unusual.
After having to get up and follow the major officer outside, preparing to return to Bagram Air Force Base for a good sleep, Sean asked curiously: "Should they be back when we wake up?"
"Waiting for you to wake up? No no no no!"
Frank waved his finger and teased Sean: "They will be back soon. Then they will kick you in the butt, wake you up from the bed, and then say to you, hey, rookie, it's time to get up."
It’s time to change the diaper.”
Sean: "..."
Several commanders of the quick reaction force also got up and left the command center. It would take some time to complete the reconnaissance mission, which was enough for them to have a good sleep.
As a large group of people left one after another, the forward combat command center suddenly became empty, with only a few communications officers still on duty.
At this time, the time displayed on the clock above the gate was 6:45 am.
