Chapter 216: Preparing for the Airdrop

In the afternoon of the same day, after analyzing and believing that the airdrop proposal was feasible, Chen Xin made a quick decision and shelved the previous forcible rescue plan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the following time, the staff officers of the Xuanjun command department and the various branches and departments directly under the command department operated at high speed.

"Give a group the list of troops that are carrying out the mission, as well as the list of units that will carry out the task tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and do not draw from these departments when screening the falcons that are on the mission."

"These selected falcons are seconded, and what happens after that depends on the effect of this operation."

"For the second group, immediately coordinate with the logistics department to prepare the materials that need to be transported, and remember to pack them all into 10 catties of packages."

"The package needs a specific shape, and I'll send the sketch over later."

"For the three groups, go and choose a suitable venue, and the falcon needs to take off with the help of external forces with heavy objects."

During the time period of waiting for supplies, the personnel of the command headquarters have arranged for personnel to level a flying field, and then draw a circle not far away that is about the same size as the top of the outpost that needs to be rescued, and finally make a model of the same weight and shape as the transportation of materials, and seize the time to let the falcons adapt to the low-altitude delivery in a small area.

As for the shape of the material package, there is no time to experiment with which one is most suitable, so Chen Xin directly made a decision and drew the appearance of the auxiliary fuel tanks, missiles and other objects of the fighter jets in the future, and asked the logistics department to try to refer to this appearance for the time being.

The aerodynamic shape of the missile can minimize the drag of the air flow on the speed of the falcon, the weight of 10 catties is already the limit of the falcon, if you can reduce the impact of the package on the falcon, the speed of the falcon should be able to increase some.

On the other hand, after a series of intensive planning, statistics, transportation, packaging, and other processes, the first batch of materials finally arrived at the take-off base of the airdrop troops within two hours.

The venue was full of noisy voices and busy figures, but everyone seemed extremely excited, at this time the Xuan Army carried out the first airdrop of supplies, although the eagle falcon was always used to communicate, transmit information and letters, but directly from the air to throw the materials down, that was really the first time.

An officer held a primitive horn rolled in iron sheets and loudly announced the precautions on the field: "Attention to all ground staff, attention to all ground crew, the first wave of airdropped materials, all marked with the word No. 1, when sent to the take-off point, don't make a mistake." ”

To the east of the newly leveled site is a row of converted warehouses containing materials that have been packaged in the shape of missiles, with different numbers written on the packages depending on what is inside.

The material package numbered No. 1 is water, there is no water source on the mountain, people can live for 7 days without eating, but they can only live for 3 days without drinking water, and through short training, there are only two eagles in a narrow circle that can be cast in 10 times, and the capacity is tight, so the first batch of two falcons to take off is to send some life-saving water to the mountain first.

The number 2 is food, and after the water is delivered, the food is the second batch of airdrop supplies.

No. 3 is warm clothes, bedding, etc., the troops going up the mountain are led by the previous pickers, and the clothes are thick, but they only planned to try it, and the preparation was not sufficient, and they did not expect to be trapped, plus it snowed this morning, and the soldiers needed to change into dry clothes, and this batch of supplies was ranked third.

No. 4 is fuel, you can't cook rice or boil water on the bare mountain, it's cold, it's a long time, and the people who beat it with iron can't stand it, and the materials of this number have the largest amount of transportation, but it's not too urgent, so it's in fourth place.

"Attention to all ground staff, attention to all ground staff, before taking off, be sure to check whether the package is firm and whether there is any damage, this is the first airdrop, and no small mistakes can occur."

When telling the flight in the air, any small hole in the package may make the package fall apart, if only the deformation of the package slows down the speed of the falcon, it is not a big problem, but if the thing falls down and the Houjin army finds out, then it will increase the variables, so this point is also not sloppy.

"The claws of every falcon must be checked, and those whose nails are too long or deformed must be removed from the airborne troops."

The falcon is a living creature, and living creatures will grow, and the ground crew really didn't pay attention to the falcon's nails before, after all, the letters and information transmitted were tied to the falcon's feet and neck.

Under the feeding of humans, the falcon has an occasional tooth sacrifice, and basically does not need to use its claws, so some of the lazy falcons have too long toenails and deformation.

The falcon does not affect the flight speed, and the weight-bearing capacity of the claws is only half a catty, and now it has to grasp 10 catties of supplies. And it is 28 kilometers to catch it, and there is no place to stop and rest on the way, so there are strong requirements for the claws of the falcon, and those who are not qualified are not allowed to participate in this mission.

"Over there, don't walk on the runway, what, you don't know what a runway is? See this lime road? This is the runway, which is exclusively for falcons, and during working hours, no idle people are allowed to set foot on it. ”

The runway is also specially set by Chen Xin, if it is a half-catty thing, after the falcon catches it, it can take off in situ very easily, without any obstacles, but now these air fighters must use a certain external force to take off with 10 catties of materials.

This runway is not for falcons to run, their claws have to grasp 10 pounds of things, and they can't run at all, so this is a gliding runway.

The runway is located on a hill that runs in a north-south direction, about 500 meters long, and the south side of the runway is the tail, which ends in a cliff up to 50 meters high.

Here's how it goes.

In the first step, the falcon came to the runway from the waiting area on the side, and first took off on its own with its empty talons.

The second step, after hovering and accelerating in the air, swoops down on the runway, and with the help of lime lines on both sides, adjusts the direction and finally aligns with the package placed at the back of the runway.

In the third step, at the moment of passing through the package, relying on the strong inertia to pull the package, glide and fly down the cliff, try to find the wind that can be used as a boost in the 50-meter drop, and then lift off with the package.

Fourth, if it successfully takes off, the falcon itself feels that there is no problem, and it cries in the air as a signal and flies directly to its destination.

However, if you don't find the wind that can help you lift into the air, you give up the takeoff, throw away the package, and go back to the Houfei area, where the ground crew and the doctor check your physical condition to see if you can take off again.
