Chapter 42 The two ends of the scale of honor and life.
When people are unlucky, drinking cold water will hurt their teeth.
Clay had just ignored orders and sold the three of Jason's butts, and something happened to Team A on the other side.
Already hovering over the target house, a Black Hawk helicopter that was about to approach the roof and release a ladder to carry people suddenly began to shake.
In order to stabilize the helicopter's flight attitude, the pilot had to increase the height again and temporarily leave the vicinity of the roof.
This caused another relatively stable helicopter nearby, which was on guard to prevent sneak attacks from ground fire, to also take emergency steps to avoid the situation.
The two helicopters, which were basically in place, flew hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.
"What? What the hell is this?"
Long Zhan, who had already taken his place on the roof, was about to send Marshall out of the stairwell to board the plane with Bullock, but he was stunned by this scene.
The two helicopters that came to pick him up suddenly flew away quickly at the same time, and Bullock also felt very annoyed.
Cursed: "What the hell, what are these damn bastards from Team A doing? Are they performing flying stunts for us? Or are they drunk too much last night and haven't sobered up yet?"
Is Team A really performing aerial stunts?
of course not!
They did this as a last resort because the helicopter had a serious malfunction.
"Call the combat center, this is H2. There is a problem with my joystick. It is shaking very badly, which seriously affects the stability of the helicopter. I cannot stabilize the fuselage. Now I can only stay away from the boarding point temporarily."
The helicopter pilot's emergency report resounded in the hall of the combat center, and Commander Eric's face instantly turned ugly.
Everyone, including senior intelligence officer Mandy, also felt nervous when they heard the news.
As early as a minute ago, the intelligence analyst (remote drone operator) used the ISR reconnaissance system to photograph a large number of thermal imaging personnel in the military camp of the Lionheart Army.
Apparently, they received a request for help from people in the target house, and began to gather troops to prepare for support.
Considering the distance between the Lionheart King's military camp and the target house, plus the time required to assemble the troops, the time left for Team B to complete the mission and evacuate will definitely not exceed 5 minutes.

Originally, according to the normal speed of action, if the task was completed within 5 minutes, the evacuation would definitely be possible.
Jason's report also gave a clear answer.
But at this moment, one of the helicopters responsible for the evacuation broke down, and now the problem became bigger.
The armed helicopter dispatched in this dual-line operation is a special operations MH60M Black Hawk helicopter. The cabin is equipped with multi-barreled machine guns and heavy firepower, which strengthens its air support and strike capabilities.
The Gatling occupies a certain amount of space, and its manned capacity is not as good as other Black Hawk models.
One plane simply cannot take everyone away!
If the helicopter cannot undertake all evacuation tasks, then even if Team B can complete two tasks, the remaining time will not be enough for them to evacuate safely.
This means that some people are destined to find ways to evacuate from the ground.
And this area is Lionheart's world. Retreating from the ground will inevitably hit Lionheart's army. It is impossible to predict whether they can safely withdraw in the end.
Eric was very aware of the seriousness of this matter. He picked up the intercom and asked seriously: "H2, I need you to give me an honest assessment. In your current state, can you continue to complete the task?"
"No, the fuselage is unstable and cannot carry people. If the fault worsens, it may even crash. I need to stop the mission immediately and return to the base for repairs." The helicopter pilot responded decisively.
Eric and the others, who originally had some luck in their hearts, instantly fell to the bottom after hearing this answer.
Fortunately, as a special operations commander of an operations team, this was not the first time Eric encountered an operational accident. Although he was worried at this time, he did not panic.
He asked clearly: "H1, I need to make sure your helicopter can still operate normally. Please answer immediately."
"Received, five by five."
The H1 helicopter pilot responded quickly, in a military slang way that comes from the fact that the communication signal and clarity are both perfect.
The overall meaning, translated in Chinese, is to confirm that there are no problems.
"H1, are the rescue targets in place? Can you see them? I need your confirmation." Eric then asked.
"They are already in position above the roof. I can clearly see their position and can move over to respond at any time. But before that, I need the old guy next to me to stay away from me."
The reply from the H1 helicopter pilot was very clear. Eric frowned, turned his gaze to the intelligence officer Mandy and asked: "How much time do we have left?"
Mandy tapped her fingers on the computer and projected the drone's thermal imaging surveillance screen onto the screen.
Eric could clearly see through the big screen that there were already dozens of red and yellow thermal imaging figures running out of the military camp.
"General Lionheart's army has already set off. It will take up to four minutes to reach the target building."
Mandy's tone was very serious. As Team B's resident intelligence aid, she already had a deep relationship with the people in Team B.
Seeing that they were about to be in danger, she was also very worried.
"Less than four minutes left?"
As the top commander here, Eric now has all the pressure on him, and he must make a decision in the shortest possible time.
He was given only half a minute or even ten seconds to think about it.
The situation now is obvious.
There was only one helicopter left to carry out the mission, which meant that the original plan could not be implemented, and some people were unable to evacuate by helicopter.
The rescue target must be taken by helicopter, and Marshall is the core of this mission.
The rest is either to let Team B give up on capturing Samir, and immediately lead the team to leave the target building and evacuate before Lionheart's army comes over.
This plan is the most secure and can ensure the safety of all team members.
Either let Team B continue to perform the second mission, capture Samir according to the original plan, and find a way to bring him back from the ground.
This plan is very risky, and a battle with Lionheart's army is inevitable.
Guarantor?
Or to protect the mission?
Protect the honor of Team B?
Or should the lives of Team B members be prioritized?
This is a multiple-choice question before Eric, and it is also a test for him as a commander. Once he makes a wrong judgment, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
