Chapter VI Experimental Troops
Pamir Plateau, east of Tashkurgan.
The plateau at an altitude of 4,500 meters is extremely inhospitable, and it is difficult to find living creatures except for rock sheep and wild yaks living in the reserve.
No, something moved.
Is it a rock? It's not a rock, it's a camouflage net of the same hue as the rock.
Under the camouflage net, Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin were chewing beef jerky with relish.
"Lao Kang, shouldn't we give advice?"
"What's the opinion?" Kang Xiaoting squeezed the jerky out of the vacuum bag a little.
"High-energy rations have two flavors, which is particularly unappetizing. I heard that there are more than 10 varieties of army field rations, so let's not compare ourselves with other troops, so let's have to come up with a few more tricks. β
"If you want to improve your life, you have to do it yourself." Kang Xiaoting smiled, "Do you see that group of rock sheep on the west lawn?" Let's get one back later, so everyone can satisfy their hunger. β
"Come on, it's illegal." Su Mingjin put down the food bag, picked up the binoculars, and looked at the group of rock sheep. "All of them are fat and strong, and they drool when they look at them."
Kang Xiaoting also laughed, but he didn't laugh out loud.
Suddenly. Su Mingjin's tactical communication radio on the ground made a "sizzling" sound.
"The eagle calls the viper. The eagle calls the viper......"
"Viper received. Please tell me something. Su Mingjin deliberately lowered his voice.
"Arrived five minutes later. Prepare to indicate the target. β
"Understood. Illuminate the target after four and a half minutes. β
Turn off the communication station. Su Ming glanced at his partner.
"It's finally over." Kang Xiaoting picked up the binoculars and looked at the rock-made houses on the western hillside, where only half of the roof was exposed.
Su Mingjin took out the laser irradiator from his backpack and turned on the power supply. "Lao Kang, what are you going to do when you go back?"
"Take a hot bath, have a real dinner, and get a good night's sleep."
"I heard that Xiang Brigade introduced you to a girlfriend, you won't leave your buddy to go on a date with that girl, right?"
"Don't mention it." Kang Xiaoting sighed, "I really don't know what kind of vision Team Xiang has." That mother-in-law opens her mouth for money and closes her mouth, Lao Tzu is a stinky soldier, no money and no power, what is there to talk about? β
"No, I heard that the woman is a nurse in the military hospital, how can she be so clichΓ©?"
"It's not just clichΓ©, the first time we met, she spent me hundreds of dollars, and hinted that I buy her gifts. You say, our allowance is so little, where can we get the money to support such squeamish goods? β
Su Ming laughed carefully. "Come on, next time I go home to visit relatives, I'll find you a smart Jiangnan girl."
"Excuse me, you don't have a place now, there are good ones, don't you keep them for yourself? Besides, Xuzhou is in northern Jiangsu, not southern Jiangsu, and I haven't heard of any beauties over there. β
"You're wrong to say that, there are several beautiful women among my high school classmates."
"Go, don't make fun of me, it's not like I haven't seen your high school graduation photo. Hurry up and finish what you're doing, so you can call it a day and go home. β
After speaking, Kang Xiaoting closed his mouth, and Su Mingjin didn't ramble anymore.
1,200 meters away, inside the underground command center.
Colonel Jiang Jiwen looked at the helpless officers around him with a grim face, and from time to time threw a fierce gaze at the special forces major standing in the corner.
For three days, three days and three nights, more than 1,500 officers and men of the Plateau Infantry Brigade searched the surroundings up and down three times, but still did not find the two special forces. This made Jiang Jiwen feel very shameless, and even made him feel humiliated by his opponent. Shame, real shame, three reinforced infantry battalions can't deal with two special forces!
Jiang Jiwen's brigade has always been stationed in the frontier and is the most outstanding plateau infantry brigade in the military region.
During last year's border counter-terrorism campaign, the brigade deployed only one battalion and annihilated more than 500 terrorists trying to enter our territory within four hours, killing one of the leaders of East Turkistan. The General Staff Department gave the brigade a special commendation, and Jiang Jiwen was also awarded a first-class meritorious service.
This time, in the face of the special forces of the "Xiongshi" brigade, Jiang Jiwen felt a little powerful and didn't know where to go.
Against the elusive special forces, even the plateau infantry is difficult to show their skills.
"Brigadier Commander, there are three minutes left."
Jiang Jiwen took a long breath and closed his eyes in pain.
There is no shame in failing, but it is definitely a shame to lose at the hands of two people.
According to the drill arrangement, Jiang Jiwen must find the two special forces within three days and "wipe them out," otherwise Jiang Jiwen's headquarters will be bombed. When the time comes, Jiang Jiwen will lose this "battle".
"Brigadier ......"
"Prepare to retreat." Jiang Jiwen opened his eyes and looked at the special forces major who came over. "Major Lu, you won."
Lu Chengwen smiled faintly and said, "Brigade Commander Jiang, I said a long time ago that the special forces of our brigade are not easy to deal with. β
Jiang Jiwen's face twitched a few times. "Can I call your people out now?"
Lu Chengwen shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know where they're hiding, and they won't come out until the exercise is over."
Another insult, Jiang Jiwen wanted to tear the special forces major in front of him to pieces, but he knew that he was not the opponent of the special forces, and I am afraid that the more than ten officers in the command were not the opponents of the special forces.
At this moment, the red signal light flashed, and the alarm sounded.
The officers in the command center were all startled, put down their work, and looked towards the entrance of the passage.
The alarm system is connected to a laser warning device on the ground, and the two special forces who are lurking are irradiating the command center with lasers to provide guidance information for the fighters who launch air strikes.
Jiang Jiwen also let go at this time. "Report the radar."
"Nothing was found, there were no enemy aircraft in the air."
"No enemy planes?" Jiang Jiwen was taken aback, and turned his head to look at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be paying attention to what was happening in front of him.
"Activate the jamming device and continue to monitor the surrounding airspace."
Several beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Jiang Jiwen's forehead, and in a few tens of seconds, he and his command center would be "destroyed" by air strikes. At this time, the effort can be regarded as a "death throes" at best.
About fifteen kilometers east of the underground command center, a strange-looking helicopter flew west against the ridge.
The fuselage of the helicopter resembles a short, fat pen with no protrusions. The main rotor of the five-pulp is almost attached to the top of the helicopter, and the ducted tail slurry is embedded in the vertical tail, and there is no horizontal tail common on ordinary helicopters. The most peculiar thing is the fuselage, there are no intakes, no exhaust ports, and not even a power compartment for the turboshaft engine. It is an all-electric helicopter powered by a "Longxiang battery" and driven by a superconducting motor.
In the rear seat of the cockpit, Kong Zhigao concentrated on controlling the helicopter.
Five years ago, the secret operation completely changed the fate of Kong Zhigao, he not only left HNA, but also moved his family to Lanzhou, and his wife also changed jobs. "Kong Zhigao" was also included in the list of "Heroic Pilots of Naval Aviation", and he was joined by three crew members who had already died in battle.
Kong Zhigao did not leave the army, and four years ago, he joined the experimental unit directly under the General Staff Department.
The "Flying Eagle" helicopter is the fourth type of helicopter that Kong Zhigao has ever flown off, the first armed helicopter, and the world's first all-electric helicopter.
After two years of running-in, Kong Zhigao can't put down this new helicopter.
The ultra-beautiful streamlined fuselage, superior radar stealth performance, weak thermal radiation, extremely low aerodynamic noise, up to 350 kilometers per hour flight speed, 6,500 meters of ground effect ceiling, advanced automatic driving equipment, sensitive airborne detection instruments, and powerful firepower make the "Flying Eagle" the best armed helicopter.
Like the Navy's submarine "Swordfish", the biggest disadvantage of the "Flying Eagle" is that it is expensive.
The cost of 850 million is enough to make any army feel shy. Like the Swordfish, the Eagle became a unique piece of experimental equipment.
Of course, this will not have any effect on the excellent performance of the Flying Eagle.
"Old Kong, enter the shooting window in fifteen seconds." The weapons operator in the front row was Captain Dong Xuefei from the Army Airlines.
"Keep the current course and climb higher in ten seconds."
As soon as the helicopter crossed the pass ahead, it received a laser signal reflected from the target. It took only two seconds for the fire control computer to calculate various parameters and enter the data into the control system of the on-board missile, completing the pre-launch preparations.
"Not good, the laser signal is being interfered with."
"Convert to millimeter-wave guidance mode." Kong Zhigao had already expected it, "You are responsible for the attack, I am responsible for the control, and the missile will be launched in ten seconds." β
"Understood!" Dong Xuefei immediately switched the guidance mode of the missile.
The bomb bay hatch in the left rib of the helicopter fuselage popped open, and three missiles on the pylons were thrown out in turn. About five meters after the missile left the helicopter, the rocket engine ignited. In less than three seconds, the missile flew faster than twice the speed of sound.
"Flying Eagle" did not immediately reduce altitude, but continued to fly forward for fifteen seconds.
After the millimeter-wave radar mounted on the roof of the rotor measured the detailed data of the target, the "Flying Eagle" lowered its flight altitude and transmitted the target information to the missile that had already been launched through the fire control data link. Next, the helicopter no longer has to provide any guidance information for the missile. All three missiles can rely on the obtained target information to automatically plan the flight route, find and identify the target, and then attack the target.
Twenty seconds later, three missiles hit the rock-made house in turn.
In the violent tremors, the dust on the roof of the underground command center was sprinkled one after another, causing more than a dozen officers in the command center to be disgraced. Jiang Jiwen was secretly frightened, if they were in the ground command center at this time, they would all be blown up by missiles.
The tremors dissipated, and the command center fell silent.
The sudden ringing of the phone broke the silence, Jiang Jiwen hesitated a little and grabbed the phone microphone.
"Right...... I'm Jiang Jiwen...... Got it. Jiang Jiwen pinched the microphone of the phone, turned to Lu Chengwen and said, "Looking for you, the General Staff." β
Lu Chengwen seemed a little surprised, hesitated slightly, and then took the microphone
