Before the helicopter made an emergency evasion from the RPG, there were clearly four team members who had not left the cabin, including Evansman himself.
But now there are only three people left, and recruit Blackburn is missing.
"Has he already gone down?"
With this lucky idea, Evansman grabbed the side of the cabin door, stuck his head out of the cabin and looked down.
There was still dust below, and the ground could not be seen at all.
There was no one on the rappelling rope either.
"Clori, Tobili, get down quickly."
Evansman, who couldn't see anyone, panicked. He gave instructions to the remaining two people, grabbed the rappel rope on the left, and rappelled down to the ground first.
Normally, the squad leader would be the last to make the move, but now that the situation is special, Evansman can only do this.
Evansman kept his eyes fixed downwards. Near the ground, through the swirling dust under his feet, he could vaguely see someone lying on his back.
Evansman's heart sank!
Realized something was wrong with Blackburn!
Ignoring the stinging pain in his hands from the rope, he quickly grasped the rope tightly and slowed down his descent, so as not to lose control of his falling speed and step on Blackburn, who was lying just at the end of the rope.
Land with your legs spread wide on either side of the person on the ground.
Evansman took a closer look.
It is indeed the new recruit Blackburn!
Blackburn was seen bleeding from seven holes, and he was still vomiting blood in his mouth. One eye was strangely open and the other was closed, and he had completely lost consciousness.
In his severely injured state, it was obvious that he had fallen out of the helicopter.
Falling from a height of 20 meters to the ground...
Evansman was really scared now.
"Medical Officer, Medical Officer Smid, we need help here at the landing site."
Evansman shouted over the radio.
But after calling for a long time and getting no response, he looked down and discovered the problem.
I was too anxious when I came down just now. When I grabbed the rappel rope with both hands, I accidentally pressed the headphone cable connected to the ptt microphone in my hand.
After sliding down from the high-temperature friction, the outer sheath of the headphone cable has been completely scorched and melted, and even the copper core inside has been broken and twisted into a ball.
It’s so weird that it can still be used like this.
"Farke!"
The cord of the headset was disconnected by himself, and Evans was anxious and annoyed. He could only use his most primitive loud voice to charge at the Rangers who were building a defensive line on the street.
However, due to the huge noise of the helicopter and the fact that the two sides were already exchanging gunfire, no one could hear them no matter how loud they sounded.
Crowley and Tobili were frightened by the RPG and descended faster than everyone in front.
The two were less than two meters apart on the rappel, less than 10 seconds slower than Evansman, and landed on the right side of the helicopter one after another.
Visibility was too low and the noise was too loud, and they also failed to pay attention to Evansman's shouts.
As soon as he landed, he followed the assigned task at the beginning, strode to the obstacles on the street on the right, and built a defense line to resist the approaching Aidid militiamen.
As everyone in the fourth team landed, the two rappel ropes were untied by the crew members.
It fell down with a splat and was discarded.
The hovering Super 67 began to move. The wind from the rotors carried the dust below that was unable to move, and was quickly blown away as the helicopter climbed in altitude.
"Did it still happen?"
Long Zhan watched Super 67 from a distance. As the helicopter left, everything below was exposed, and he could clearly see someone lying on the ground.
At this time, a series of calls sounded in the headset.
"This is Super 64. The troops have landed and are preparing to deploy the defense line. Over."
"This is Super 65. The troops have been delivered and are ready to deploy the covering defense line. Over."
"This is Super 66..."
"This is Super 67..."
"The Rangers have established defense lines at the four corners, over."
"This is C2. You need to return to high altitude and provide fire cover. Over."
…
The various communications in the headset are very frequent. Since Long Zhan is connected to multiple channels at the same time, you can even hear some of them being repeated and superimposed.
The more intense the communication, the more intense the battle.
The Super 68 is at an altitude of about 150 meters and hovers over the mission site in a cruising manner. Dragon War can overlook the entire battlefield.
It took less than two minutes for the four Ranger detachments to land and establish their route.
A large number of Aidid militiamen have appeared, like flies that have smelled a bad smell, gathering in a steady stream from all sides of the city.
The armed militiamen who arrived first in pickup trucks had already collided head-on with the Ranger units.
In the four corners that the four teams were responsible for, the defense lines were built at the intersections of the streets, blocking the two streets in front and behind the target building.
If the militiamen in armed pickup trucks want to support inside, they must break through the defenses blocked by the Rangers.
An exchange of fire between the two sides is inevitable.
Especially the fleet of Humvees parked two streets away, waiting for Delta to complete its mission, faced the greatest pressure at this time.
Fortunately, the convoy is all armed vehicles, with fierce protection capabilities and firepower.
More than 40 rangers in the convoy controlled heavy machine guns and medium machine guns on 12 vehicles. The fierce firepower was enough to block the streets from front to back.
In addition, there are 4 Little Birds that have completed their missions and have been providing firepower resources in the sky.
Comprehensive protection of the fleet!
Although the Humvee convoy was parked there and did not move, and faced many enemies, the firepower was fierce enough, so there was no problem for the time being.
After completing the mission, the armed Black Hawk was freed up to cover four Ranger squads.
The reserve troops aboard Super 68 and Super 69 will basically just "watch the show" in the sky if the mission goes well. If they want to participate, they can only control the mini Gatling.
Clay and Brian rarely played with machine guns. They were idle anyway, and they had already joined the battle.
The two mini Gatlings were like super water guns, spraying out a barrage of metal storms that wiped out a large area wherever they went.
Compared to assault rifles, it's simply not that cool.
It's just that the Rangers below suffered more. The eight Black Hawks were all using Gatling to fire downwards, and there would be a "storm of shells" wherever they went.
When Mini Gatling shoots, he doesn't care whether there are any of his own people below.
The shells were very hot just after being fired. It was fine if they fell and hit the Rangers' helmets on the ground, but the clanking made them annoying.
If it falls in the collar...
That would be fun!
Immediately there will be a Ranger soldier jumping around wildly or yelling.
After taking a lot of effort to take out the hot bullet casing from the blistered neck, I couldn't help but spit out the fragrance at the helicopter in the sky.
By the way, a "polite" middle finger!
pity.
No one cares about the resistance of the ground rangers, because the Gatling gunners are also under great pressure and have no energy to care about where the bullet casings will fall.
