Two hundred and eighty eighth eighth: Airborne Raiders II
"Are you sure this is not unconstitutional?"
"The orders have come down, just follow them," "Sea Otter" said, "We are fighting terrorism. We are just making complete preparations. It may not be your turn."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away," the fleet commander said.
…
The special forces landed in the desert area outside Mogadishu.
"Attention all units, quickly collect supplies and equipment and move closer to me," Wang Lang immediately called all units on the radio after landing.
Soon, all the soldiers of the special commando team gathered.
"Quickly, count the equipment and number of people, and bury all the parachutes for me,"
Wang Lang shouted while walking around in the crowd counting people.
The special forces quickly hid their parachutes and then lined up in front of Wang Lang.
The benefit of the queue is reflected at this time, it is easy to count people.
After everyone is aligned, the first row will count, and the people in the last row will know how many people there are.
Fortunately, fortunately, the plain desert area outside Mogadishu did not cause too much trouble for the special forces to parachute. The soft sandy ground provided some protection for the landing special forces. In addition, when selecting team members , one of the registration conditions is to "have a parachute skill medal, and have completed more than three parafoil ultra-low altitude parachutes." Therefore, the special forces all jumped into a small area, and no one was injured, so they were able to Retracted quickly and caused no non-combat casualties.
"Everyone is here,"
After the entire team was counted, Lin Hu reported the situation to Wang Lang.
"Where's the equipment?"
"complete,"
"Order the three teams to leave a five-minute interval between them. The first team and the third team spread out 500 meters to the two wings, and the second team is in the center and goes to point 217 at full speed," Wang Lang said.
"clear,"
The special forces took action quickly. More than 50 people were divided into three teams according to the formation before departure. The finished glyphs covered each other and rushed towards point 217.
Point 217 is located next to the highway in the northwest direction of the outskirts of Mogadishu. There is a low hilly area, which is suitable for special forces to hide. At the same time, the highway can also help special forces to quickly enter and exit Mogadishu.
…
"Three minutes to prepare," the pilot said.
The "Evil Spirit" special forces also began to prepare for parachuting.
"Check your oxygen tubes. I don't want to see anyone suffocating like a purple carrot after I go down," Wang Chaoyang said.
The special forces are now at an altitude of five thousand meters, and the air is already very thin. In order to avoid the risk of fainting during parachute descent, they must use special high-altitude skydiving equipment.
The most important piece of equipment is the respiratory mask system.
After wearing this respirator that integrates a helmet and goggles, the special forces soldiers feel like pilots.
"Communication check, please reply when you receive it," Wang Chaoyang turned on the microphone in the mask.
"Received, clearly,"
The special forces quickly reported on the traffic situation.
"Each group acted collectively, and the sniper group followed the assault group," Wang Chaoyang said.
The parachute indicator light on the tailgate of the transport aircraft lit up and was red.
"One minute to prepare,"
Pilot bulletin.
"Get ready," Wang Chaoyang said.
"Open the umbrella at 1,000 meters, control it, and let's try our best to jump together," Wang Chaoyang said.
"learn,"
"Open the door," Wang Chaoyang signaled to the pilot.
The pilot opened the tailgate ramp.
"It's time to get off the plane, get off the plane,"
The green light came on.
“Welcome to fly again with Air France Air France,”
The pilot's voice rang through the loudspeaker again.
But at this time, the special forces had no time to listen to his nonsense. The special forces divided into groups and jumped out of the airport together.
In order to improve the accuracy of landing, the special forces used the "high jump, low open" technique, that is, parachuting at a high altitude and then opening the parachute in the ground.
After jumping out of the cabin, the special forces in the group held hands with each other, formed a ring, and quickly stabilized.
This action, which looks like a fancy skydiving, can actually minimize the spread area when landing.
At high altitude, a gust of wind can blow everyone everywhere. If a dozen or so people are blown away by the wind, it will be considered as pepper powder, but after grouping together, four or five people will be blown away. They are also together, and their combat effectiveness after landing cannot be underestimated.
And this can also maintain the stability of the posture to a great extent.
The special forces' circle rotated horizontally and fell toward the ground.
Because they kept their limbs spread out and hugged each other, the falling speed of the special forces was much slower than the speed of a person's free fall, because the resistance of the wind was greatly enhanced.
But despite this, when driving downward in the night vision device, the ground was still rushing towards the special forces quickly.
Wang Chaoyang looked at the altimeter in his hand nervously.
The altimeter with luminous mode is a bit blurry at this time when rotating at high speed, but fortunately, this altimeter can be connected to the individual mobile computer module of the special forces. The module will convert the data into a voice and broadcast it through the headsets of the special forces.
“1100 meters,”
The electronic sound sounded.
"Spread out," Wang Chaoyang shouted.
The special forces quickly let go of each other's hands, adjusted their postures, and spread out in the air.
At this time, it really feels like flying in the sky, with the wind whistling in my ears.
“950 meters,”
"Open the umbrella," Wang Chaoyang shouted.
While shouting, Wang Chaoyang pulled the umbrella opener on his chest.
With a "bang", the ring on Wang Chaoyang's hand was pulled off, and something flew up from Wang Chaoyang's eyes with a rope. Then he heard another "bang", and the ring on Wang Chaoyang's chest was heard. The parachute bag was opened, and something bigger and a large rope flew out.
The first step is the pilot parachute. After the pilot parachute is deployed, the main parachute is pulled out.
Wang Chaoyang's parachute opened smoothly.
The parachutes of other special forces also deployed smoothly.
Due to the results of the previous group hug, Wang Chaoyang looked around and if nothing unexpected happened, if everyone controlled the parachute, they could jump into a mound directly below him.
"Attention, all units, move closer to me and pay attention to a safe distance," Wang Chaoyang said.
The special forces began to adjust their parafoils and glide in the air to form a formation.
This is the role of the parafoil. If the altitude permits, the parafoil can even glide directly for a distance of more than ten or twenty kilometers.
Under the skillful operation of the special forces, the parafoil began to move obediently.
Soon, the special forces formed a formation in the air.
At this time, the high-altitude transport plane was still circling, but it had lowered its altitude.
The two pilots were busy attaching umbrella hooks to all the equipment so that the equipment could automatically deploy the parachute after leaving the aircraft.
When Wang Chaoyang was about to land, he took out a military fluorescent stick from his bag, folded it and threw it on the ground at the landing site.
Then Wang Chaoyang tightened the parachute rope and made preparations to withstand the impact of landing.
The glow stick itself does not emit light. This is mainly to maintain concealment during operations. I don’t think anyone would want to have several things that are always glowing on their body when they are not needed during secret operations. What are you doing? Indicating targets to the enemy.
This kind of fluorescent rod is divided into two layers. The inner layer is a relatively brittle tube containing a chemical substance, usually an oxide, while the outer layer is a tough tube containing another chemical substance, usually an ester compound. This The two substances themselves do not emit light and are both transparent, but as long as they are gently folded and the tube inside is broken, the two substances will fluoresce when mixed and maintain a certain brightness even for as long as 48 hours, of course, generally speaking, the luminous time used by the military is not too long.
The main purpose of Wang Chaoyang throwing down a fluorescent stick is to indicate the landing place for subsequent personnel.
After Wang Chaoyang landed, he quickly pulled his parachute and ran aside to make room for other personnel.
After running away, Wang Chaoyang quickly took off his parachute bag and skydiving equipment, and packed these items together with the parachute directly into the parachute bag.
The role of the umbrella bag comes to the fore at this time.
After packing, Wang Chaoyang quickly put on his helmet, organized his equipment and started to be on guard.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew over, and then Wang Chaoyang saw a parachute beside him being blown by the wind and flying in front of him.
"Ah, help me, I'm stuck," Lin Xue's voice rang.
When Wang Chaoyang looked again, Lin Xue was dragged by the parachute and slid past him.
Wang Chaoyang reacted quickly and directly dragged Lin Xue's feet out.
But Wang Chaoyang didn't expect that the wind was so powerful that it even dragged him away.
Wang Chaoyang felt that this was really shameless. After all, he was a burly figure weighing over 150 kilograms and close to 160 kilograms. Although he was lightly dressed, he still had thirty or forty kilograms of equipment. Damn it. It was really embarrassing to be dragged away with Lin Xue like this.
Wang Chaoyang exerted his strength and pulled Lin Xue's belt to a position where he could reach the parachute rope. Then he let Lin Xue hug him while he freed his hand to draw a knife and cut the parachute rope.
It's strange to say that after just one section of the parachute rope, the parachute was blown into a mess by the wind. It couldn't be held up anymore, and it couldn't hold the wind. It rolled and danced in the air for a few times before lying on the ground obediently.
"Huh, you are so lucky," Wang Chaoyang picked up Lin Xue from the ground, patted the dirt on his body and said.
"It's not that I don't want to do this," Lin Xue said, frowning unhappily.
"You're not hurt,"
"No,"
"Take off your equipment first, and I'll go get your umbrella back for you," Wang Chaoyang said.
After Wang Chaoyang finished speaking, he trotted to the front, rolled up his parachute and hugged it before returning.
After Wang Chaoyang helped Lin Xue pack the parachute equipment, everyone else had almost packed it too.
Wang Chaoyang counted the number of people and made sure no one was blown away before sending a signal to the transport plane.
"The signal has been received, start airdropping equipment,"
So the transport plane opened the tailgate springboard again at an altitude of 300 meters, and two large boxes of equipment and three desert assault vehicles were directly pushed out of the cabin by the conveyor belt.
After the equipment and vehicle left the cabin, the parachute on it automatically opened and fell to the location of the special forces.
