Seven Hundred and Sixty-Four Evacuate From Danger
Liu Bin was very disappointed and was about to pick a tall man from his own soldiers. The American pilot pulled out a black man wearing only a shirt from the crowd, patted his chest and recommended him to Liu Bin vigorously, guaranteeing that he would definitely be fine.
Liu Bin didn't think much about it and directly asked the black man to enter the cockpit to replace Ye Han.
The black man smiled brightly, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and excitedly rubbed his hands and got into the cockpit.
Ye Han passed by the black man and looked at him in surprise, always feeling that the black man's smile was not quite right.
But after the black man sat down, he immediately took over the plane, and his movements were very skillful. He didn't look like a novice at first glance.
Ye Han's doubts disappeared immediately, and he immediately put this matter behind his mind. With the help of Liu Bin, he put on the power armor.
The armor thrown away by the soldiers was the most common mass model. Ye Han's armor was a tailor-made command model with very powerful communication functions and a much higher price than ordinary armor.
After putting on the armor, the system started automatically and entered the working state after a few seconds. Ye Han immediately contacted the space fleet: "671 calling 451, please answer if you receive it!"
"451 received, 671 please speak!"
"451, my unit is flying north by helicopter, heading to southern Sudan, and needs to be airdropped for fuel supply!"
"671, my ship has no aviation fuel reserves!"
"671 understand, over."
The communication ended, and Ye Han switched the communication frequency and continued to call: "671 calling Tiangong, please answer if you receive it!"
"Tiangong received, please speak."
Ye Han briefly described the current situation, and finally talked about the fuel problem, asking Tiangong to contact Qiongzhou Base.
The Marine Corps' training grounds and launch sites are both in Qiongzhou. Ye Han is very familiar with the situation there. There is absolutely no technical problem in using a returnable spacecraft to launch a batch of aviation fuel.
In addition, Ye Han also applied to the base to launch 21 sets of power armor on board - the troops have to stay in Africa for a while, how can they do without equipment?
Hearing that Ye Han had thrown away twenty-one sets of power armor, Huo Qiang almost had a heart attack, jumping up and down and scolding the prodigal son.
With the gradual maturity of technology, the cost of power armor has indeed dropped a lot in recent years. The problem is that the price of this thing is still maintained at more than 10 million, and it has not dropped to the point where it can be thrown away casually.
But no matter how much he jumped up and down, after learning the details, Huo Qiang had no choice but to accept this annoying fact.
Now is not the war era when there is a shortage of this or that, nor is it the era where one can sacrifice one's life to protect equipment. Now human life is more precious than equipment. Under no circumstances can the safety of soldiers be ignored for the sake of equipment.
This is both the progress of humanity and the necessity of development.
The Qiongzhou base mobilized supplies at the fastest speed. In addition to fuel and power armor, some supplies were also placed on the spacecraft.
Not only that, the military also actively contacted the US military to study how to rescue survivors.
The arrival of the plane in southern Sudan was only the first step to escape. There was still a straight-line distance of 2,000 kilometers from Djibouti. Even if the airdropped fuel was in place, it would not be possible to fly back to Djibouti.
The two sides came up with two rescue plans during the negotiation.
One is to continue to fly northeast after obtaining fuel in South Sudan, and fly east along the southern border of the Sahara Desert, dropping airdrops every certain distance until the plane returns to Djibouti, or directly fly to the Red Sea coast in eastern Sudan, and be taken back to Djibouti by warships sent by the navy.
The second is to find a suitable landing site, and Djibouti will send a transport plane to take the survivors on the helicopter back to Djibouti.
Plan No. 1 is too complicated, and both sides prefer Plan No. 2. After the two armies reached an agreement, they immediately looked for a place suitable for the transport plane to land in southern Sudan.
The US side quickly found a section of road suitable for landing and notified the helicopter of the road coordinates.
This section of road is within the range of the helicopter, so the helicopter does not need to continue to transfer, and the airdrop requested by Ye Han was also cancelled by the military.
Later,
the space battleship began to clear the giant insects nearby to prepare for the landing of the aircraft.
The rescue problem was solved, and Ye Han was relieved and began to care about the situation of Morobida.
Satellite images show that the Morrobida Airport is still occupied by spider ants, and all buildings are engulfed in flames. The airport and the base of the multinational forces are destroyed.
Looking at the spider cave again, there is no counterattack fire in the cave, but there is a burning armored vehicle at the entrance of the cave, which seems to be deliberately blocked by the trapped personnel to resist the spider ants.
Ye Han couldn't help but sigh that the insects only took half a day to completely end the results of the multinational forces' efforts for more than a month. Is this a victory for the insects, or is it the aliens who have secured the victory?
Two hours later, the helicopter finally arrived near the highway and landed on the sand on one side of the highway.
Through the night vision device on the armor, it can be seen that the corpses of giant ants are everywhere near the highway, and there are even many on the highway.
These are the giant insects that the space fleet has just killed. In order to ensure the safety of the transport plane, Ye Han personally led the team to leave the plane and clean up the insect corpses on the highway.
This place is relatively barren, and the limited resources cannot support a few insects. With the escort of the space fleet, there is no need to worry about giant insect attacks at all.
Seven minutes after the helicopter landed, a low roar of the engine was heard in the sky, and a few minutes later, the transport plane successfully landed on the road.
Before the transport plane came to a complete stop, the American soldiers on the helicopter immediately jumped off the plane and rushed towards the transport plane like a swarm of bees.
Seeing this, Ye Han quickly told Liu Bin to lead the team and ordered everyone to board the plane immediately.
More than 70 people quickly rushed to the transport plane, which opened the rear hatch and rushed in... Soon after, the transport plane took off and flew to Djibouti in the night.
At around 11 o'clock at night, the transport plane landed at the U.S. military airport in Djibouti. The vehicles sent by the Chinese base had been waiting at the airport for a long time. Ye Han and others were picked up as soon as they got off the plane.
Returning to their own base, the driver sent Ye Han directly to Zhuang Bo's dormitory. Zhuang Bo asked in detail about the entire operation and mentioned the discarded power armor, asking Ye Han if it was possible to get these armors back.
This was not Zhuang Bo's intention, but the domestic idea.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Early the next morning, the base received a notice from the U.S. military that the multinational forces trapped in the spider cave were attacked from both sides by spider ants and had run out of ammunition and food. The airdropped supplies were all outside the cave, and the troops trapped in the cave could not get the airdropped supplies at all.
The U.S. hoped that China could send troops to help, but Zhuang Bo politely refused.
Are you kidding? We were short on manpower to begin with, and we threw away more than 20 sets of power armor. Including Ye Han and Liu Bin, there were only nine equipped marines. How could they fight against the overwhelming spider ants?
