Meeting point in heavy rain.
Tong Zhi has confirmed that Li Zheng and Bai Aote's sniper team have lost contact.
At present, the radio station has been unable to contact the two of them, which means that the two of them encountered a fight, and the communication equipment must have been damaged for some reason during the process.
It's rare, but it doesn't happen.
Usually in mountainous areas with complex terrain, due to the influence of vegetation and mountains, radio waves will encounter interference, resulting in poor communication.
But the terrain here is relatively not that complicated. The terrain where the previous battle was fought is relatively flat. It is said that there will be no such thing as signal obstruction.
There is only one reason - battle losses.
Tong Zhining is in the former situation, because battle damage means that the battle is very fierce. Individual radios are hung on tactical vests. If they are damaged, they are thought to have been shot or injured by shrapnel.
Just as Bai Aote told Li Zheng, Mist originally comforted Tong Zhi, saying that they had drones in the sky that could check the current locations of Li Zheng and Bai Aote, and then send people to respond.
As a result, before he finished speaking, he received news from the flight control room of the Bald Eagle Base thousands of miles away - the two MQ-9s needed to return home on their own.
The so-called UAV flight control room Bald Eagle calls it a ground control station (GCS). A single person can complete a series of operations of observing, locking, and striking the UAV. This thing is usually set up on a certain Bald Eagle. In the military base, it is the same size as a container. It belongs to the remote control room and is no longer in the local area.
"What!?"
This time, even Mist was not calm.
"We still have people in the war zone who have not returned. How can you remove the drone?! I beg you to delay for at least 2 hours!"
"The fuel is about to run out and we have to calculate the return trip consumption. Sorry, Lieutenant Colonel, we cannot meet your request. From now on, the drone will enter the return flight. According to the emergency situation you provided, we can dispatch another drone Go to support, please wait patiently!”
"Are you making an international joke on me! By the time the drones you send arrive here, my people will be dead! Are you here to collect the corpses!?"
Mist was furious.
He couldn't accept that those guys who were miles away, sitting in the safe GCS control room of the base, drinking Coke and chewing gum, were telling him how to accept reality, instead of him, a commander who was risking his life on the front line, ordering them. What should be done!
Although, he knew that what the other party said was true.
Because the power system of the MQ9 Reaper is a TPE-331 turboprop engine with a power of up to 900 horsepower, a cruising speed of 313 km/h, a maximum of 482 km/h, and a combat radius of 1852 km, its combat range and airborne time are There are limits.
This kind of drone is extremely expensive to build. The unit price of an MQ-9 is US$30 million. Many of the fuselage is the crystallization of Bald Eagle military technology and must not be leaked.
Therefore, the Air Force absolutely does not want anything to go wrong with this aircraft. Being shot down or forced to land due to insufficient fuel will be a scandal, which will make the commander miserable.
"etc!"
He suddenly thought of a way.
"We can communicate with Country W and have the drone land at their country's airport, so that you can have at least two hours of stay in the air to provide support for our team members!"
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel." The commander in the control room dismissed Mist's thoughts very clearly: "The strategy you mentioned is not feasible. Negotiations between the two parties will take time. My plane cannot wait. , I cannot bear this risk."
After saying that, he actually cut off the communication directly.
Mist cursed several times into the microphone before reluctantly putting it down.
"Tong, I'm sorry." He said: "I tried my best, but those damn bureaucrats in the base... No matter what, the base is only more than a thousand kilometers away from here. Now a new drone has been dispatched. In three hours I’ll definitely be able to fly here within a few seconds.”
Tong Zhi was furious and sarcastically said: "I said you guys didn't say hello when the Bald Eagle plane flew over, right? Isn't it just a side goal? Why doesn't it work when life is at stake? Are you ready? Would you rather let your people die than give up two drones?"
In fact, he also knows the sensitivity of this kind of thing.
Country W said that it has anti-terrorism cooperation with Bald Eagle, but it is limited to domestic scope.
This is country G’s territory. Openly allowing the Bald Eagle drone operating here to land at its own airport will make ADF hostile to country W.
In recent years, in order to bring peace to the border areas, Country W has adopted an attitude that is non-irritating, non-compromising but non-provocative.
An extreme organization like the ADF is a hornet's nest that no one wants to touch.
If pressure is exerted, Bald Eagle may finally get permission to land as he wishes, but this wrangling will definitely take time. The commander of the Air Force is unwilling to take any risks for special forces such as Mister who are not affiliated with him. In fact, it is okay understand.
If it were their Air Force's own special forces, such as PJ or the like, they would be willing to take risks.
Tong Zhi's ridicule made Mist very embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
In fact, judging from this operation, it is indeed our own responsibility, including the previous estimate of the hostage detention situation at point C. There were also errors.
No wonder others look down on it.
"I think we must send out a small team to look for them now. After discovering them, we will contact the large forces to rush over to support them. Otherwise, if the two of them face so many pursuers, I guess it will be difficult for them to survive."
Mist looked to the sky.
The heavy rain is still continuing.
If either Li Zheng or Bai Aot was injured, it would not be easy to get rid of the pursuers on a rainy day while ensuring that their bodies could hold on.
Tong Zhi knew that now was not the time to complain, and that working together was the most urgent thing.
"I agree with you."
"According to the previous drone surveillance footage, the original evacuation route has been controlled by the ADF. I think they will go to the backup rendezvous point. We should wait for them there and send a small team to search along the backup route." "I believe they will be found soon," Mister said.
"Lieutenant Colonel, show me the last picture of the two of them captured by the drone just now."
Mist asked someone to fetch a military-style laptop. The two returned to the car and placed the laptop on the seat. They then called up the picture and quickly calibrated the coordinates.
Tong Zhi drew a red line between point C and the last location where Li Zheng and the others appeared, then frowned and looked left and then again. When he arrived, he nodded and said: "They are indeed heading towards the backup meeting point... "
