Everyone in the command center stayed up all night, and after learning that the reconnaissance team had safely arrived at the first observation point, everyone was "off duty" and ready to go back to sleep.
People on the ground began to leave, and so did those in the sky.
After flying in the sky for Apollo 2-2 all night, I didn’t want to stay up any longer.
"Spartan O-1, this is Apollo 2-2, the sun has come out, it's time for us to evacuate, good luck, I wish you good luck."
Lynn Taylor, a U.S. Air Force A-10 attack aircraft pilot and flight academy instructor, once said.
Although you can see the AC130 aerial gunship, most of the photos were taken during the day, but in fact in the Afghanistan-Iraq war zone, it can only operate at night and must leave the combat airspace before the sun rises.
The photo uses the night sky as the background, which is a true portrayal of the gunboat in the air.
He must leave the battlefield before dawn, not to maintain his nickname of "Ghost", but because the risk factor of fighting during the day is too high.
The aerial gunship is mainly used for medium and low-altitude operations, and its fierce firepower is its advantage.
This is also its shortcoming.
Regardless of mobility and defensive capabilities, aerial gunships cannot compare with other fighters.
In this era where smuggled anti-air missiles are everywhere and individual surface-to-air missiles are rampant, an armed organization with dozens of people can possess anti-air strike capabilities.
The aerial gunship is such a big living target. If it is shot down, it will cause huge losses.
Losing more than 100 million US dollars is a trivial matter. As the only super-developed country in the world, it is too shameful for a top-notch gunship to be shot down by terrorists.
Therefore, no matter how poor the communication quality is at this time, it is impossible for Apollo 2-2 to continue to be on duty.
"Fake!"
Regarding the departure of the aerial gunship, Dietz, who was in charge of radio communications, first reacted by swearing.
Then he pressed the communication button and replied: "Received".
With AC130 as a "mobile transfer base", the enhanced wireless communication signal is already so poor. What will happen if it is gone?
Dietz, who majored in communications, knew better than anyone that communications would most likely be lost.
That's why I'm so annoyed.
"Hey, familiar plot."
Long Zhan on the side sighed secretly. He had smelled a familiar smell and knew that the current situation could not be changed at all.
The only thing he wants to do now is to nip the danger in the bud.
As long as the three shepherds didn't make a mistake and run to the Kadaku village below to spread the news, the final tragedy would not have happened.
As long as we grasp this point, the tragedy of Operation Red Wings will be solved.
"This observation point is not good. Most of the village is blocked, and the vegetation on the hilltop is too sparse. We are easily exposed here. We need to change to another observation point."
Murphy took Matt back and pointed to another hilltop about 1 kilometer away on the left and said, "Matt and I just had a discussion and both felt that the hilltop over there would be more suitable."
Long Zhan looked in the direction of Murphy's finger, and the trees in the mountains in the distance were indeed denser.
Hiding inside and observing, you can't see it from the outside at all.
But seeing this lush green hilltop, Long Zhan immediately thought of shepherds.
The vegetation on this hilltop is so dense, wouldn't it be a good place for grazing sheep? If you really go to that hilltop, you will have a high chance of meeting a shepherd.
Although the dragon battle has been planned in advance, how to deal with the shepherds after encountering them.
But if you can avoid the shepherds in advance and avoid encountering them, from an objective point of view, it is definitely the best solution.
In order to avoid the shepherds, Long Zhan organized his words and said: "I don't recommend going to that mountain top. The vegetation there is too dense and the viewing angle is too good.
If I were the Shah, I would definitely place a guard on this mountain.
If Shah has the same idea as me, then this hilltop will no longer be safe, and it is very likely that we will encounter unexpected situations after entering."
The more Long Zhan talked about it, the more likely it seemed.
After what he had said, he was basically certain that the shepherds who appeared in Operation Red Wings were actually the "Shah Armed Forces" disguised to guard the mountain.
Our ancestors used this tactic many times in guerrilla warfare during the Anti-Japanese War.
As the leader of a modern guerrilla armed organization, Shah was able to develop more than 200 people while being pursued and intercepted by the US military. He must know some war history to some extent.

Combined with the constraints imposed by "BSOs" on the US military.
Using shepherds to replace soldiers with guns as sentries was most likely the Shah's whimsical idea.
What Long Zhan said was reasonable and sound. Murphy, Matt and Dietz were all frightened and had to treat this matter carefully.
In the eyes of the three of them...
As a former senior Taliban officer, Ahmed Shah is very likely to have counter-reconnaissance awareness as someone who has led troops in war.
In case Shah is really in the most dangerous place, defense measures have been arranged in advance.
If they run over, they will die.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Long Zhan was right. Dietz echoed: "Our communication status is already bad enough. Now that we are entering that mountain forest, we may lose contact with the base completely. Even satellite phones are not guaranteed."
it works."
"Isn't there Apollo 2-2?" Murphy asked.
"He just contacted me a minute ago. The sun has come out and he is going back to hug his mother to drink milk." Dietz said angrily.
Murphy knew what happened as soon as he heard it. He knew that aerial gunships generally did not perform missions during the day.
"Gibran, the possibilities you mentioned are very high, but we need a better observation point. There is no way to confirm Shah here." Murphy said helplessly.
"We can go over there."
Long Zhan pointed to the top of the mountain on the left where the vegetation was sparse and the terrain was relatively open.
Explained: "The angle over there is very suitable. You can definitely see the panoramic view of the village from the top of the mountain. Moreover, in this terrain that is not very hidden, Shah most likely will not make a special trip to do a warning deployment on it."
Murphy didn't speak for the first time. He picked up the high-power observation scope and looked over.
