Chapter 218: Other Flying Species
After quickly signing all the reports and applications related to the airdrop operation, Chen Xin also came to the temporary airdrop headquarters located on a hill north of Anzhou City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It has been two hours since the airdrop plan was proposed, and with the efficient means of communication of the Xuan Army and the full cooperation of various departments, the first batch of airdrop materials has been allocated, packaged into the prescribed form, and sent to the temporary airdrop headquarters.
The materials needed by 10 people are actually not much, as long as an order is given, they can be transported within a quarter of an hour, but the air dropping has put forward strict safety requirements for the materials, and the logistics department is simply desperate, only then did they think of a frame in the shape of a missile made of bamboo chips, which is filled with straw and other shockproof things, so that it can be regarded as initially meeting the requirements of the temporary airdrop command.
When Chen Xin arrived at the airdrop headquarters, the first batch of strangely shaped materials had already been stacked in the warehouse, waiting for the falcons to officially start their operations.
Chen Xin directly found the person in charge and asked, "How is the airdrop training of the falcon?" ”
The other party's face was a little unpleasant, "It's not ideal, we only have a total of 5 falcons on vacation, if there are more, it will affect the patrol, vigilance, and communication of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Of the five falcons, only the smartest one was able to achieve a 1-of-10 shooting. The other falcons have not been able to complete a single successful airdrop so far. ”
This achievement does not mean that it takes 10 throws to hit the drawn circle 1 time, but that 1 out of 10 times can send the materials safely to the circle, and there are no accidents such as rolling out of the circle, shattering, and smashing into the circle.
Chen Xin knew this, so he continued to ask, "Do you have any solutions?" ”
"I'm sorry general, we haven't thought of a good way, we can only keep practicing and adjusting, we think that as long as the Eagle Falcon can achieve the result of 10 shots in 1, it can be used for airdrops, but there may be a relatively large waste of materials at that time. So ・・・・・・"
At this point, the person in charge stopped.
Chen Xin knew the meaning of the other party's words, and said in a firm tone, "In order to rescue the comrades on the mountain, it doesn't matter if this waste of materials is wasted, even if there is a lot of material loss, it will not be hesitated." It's just that time waits for no one, and I'm worried that something will happen to the soldiers in the bad weather on the mountain. Speaking of this, Chen Xin seemed to remember something, and asked again, "What would happen if the load of the falcon was reduced?" ”
The person in charge shook his head, "If the load is more than half a catty, then whether it is 1 catty or 10 catties, the falcons can't hover and land slowly like when they are fighting loads." The only way to do this is to throw the material to the ground before proceeding to the next step.
We also thought about using the combat load of the falcon, that is, half a catty for the transportation capacity, but we found that it was not possible after testing.
If the packaging of the material is thin, it will be scratched by the claws of the falcon, if it is thick, there is only half a catty of load, and the packaging will occupy more than half of the quantity, if the 5 falcons use this load to transport materials, even if they are exhausted, they can't transport many things.
What's more, the weight of warm clothes, bedding, fuel for heating and hot water and other large materials far exceeds the limit of half a catty, these are the key to delivery, without these things, in the cold mountains, the water will soon freeze, dry food can not be swallowed, there is no way to talk about rescue, let alone the establishment of temporary outposts. ”
Chen Xin is also helpless, if this is the plain, there is no need to be so troublesome, in the plain area, I didn't expect that the first airdrop would encounter this highest difficulty.
A staff officer in the airdrop command said softly, "There are still too few falcons, if there are more, it can reach 10, even if it is a combat load, it is enough." ”
Another staff officer retorted with a smile, "5 is already the maximum number we can draw, ordinary companies do not have falcons and trainers at all, the reconnaissance and search troops at the forefront are all distributed to companies and platoons, these 10 trapped soldiers can be divided into 5, the density of 2:1 is far more than all the troops of our Xuan Army, even the general command headquarters can not reach this 2:1 ratio." ”
"I also know that this is not to nervous those trapped comrades-in-arms and complain."
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Chen Xin's case calculated his own energy, and absorbed a large amount of energy in the previous three fortress attack and defense battles.
One of the winds was used to treat thousands of wounded soldiers, and the remaining part, Chen Xin originally did not plan to use it for the time being, and it was about to be a decisive battle, and these energies were used for emergency or treatment of the wounded.
But now, ・・・・・・
After thinking for a while, Chen Xin decided to wait first, and within 2 hours before the sun set, if the falcons still could not meet the requirements of the airdrop, then use the reserve energy to create a batch of falcons to come out in an emergency.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin turned his head and said to the person in charge, "I'll give you another 3 hours, if the falcons can't be airdropped by the time, I will send a batch of falcons from other secret operations forces to transport them with combat loads."
However, mobilizing this group of falcons will have a great impact on the actions of other aspects of our army, so I hope that you will still use these 5 falcons to complete the mission as much as possible. ”
The person in charge stood up and saluted, and returned seriously, "General, we must seize the time, continue to work hard, and strive to carry out the airdrop as soon as possible." ”
Chen Xin nodded, turned to look at the runway outside.
Looking at the well-organized training ground and the hundreds of soldiers and officers who were fully operating around the five falcons, I felt like I had arrived at a field airfield
Staring at the 10-pound model on the claws and the flying falcons, Chen Xin was always worried that they would fall.
The falcons can usually fly at a speed of about 350 kilometers per hour even if they hold a half-pound weight, and this kind of speed type of birds is still suitable for high-altitude reconnaissance, and occasionally javelin attacks on some lone enemy troops can also be competent, but it is used for transportation, which is really a little powerless.
Reluctantly allowing these air fighters to take on the responsibility of transporting heavy loads, their speed was reduced to more than 100 kilometers per hour, and their flight altitude was also reduced a lot, which had a great impact on the safety of the falcon.
In the future, if it is not a last resort, it is resolute not to use this mode of transportation, which is very unfavorable to the falcon.
However, Chen Xin thought about it and felt that the advantage of being able to airdrop materials around 1630 was too great, and it was a pity to give up.
The Eagle Falcon was originally manufactured because the Eagle Falcon was very cost-effective among birds, and its high-speed performance could be used in reconnaissance, communication, and combat, and it did not consume much energy, so the Eagle Falcon was chosen as the assistant of the Xuan Army in the sky.
Now that Xuanjun's requirements for air assistance have changed, it seems that there should be some other, some flying species with particularly outstanding capabilities in some aspects.
