One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty-Five Stormy
At 6 pm on December 27, 2030, the landing formation was split into two. The nine landing craft carrying the second battalion of the first division left the formation and flew directly to Australia as originally planned.
The remaining 22 landing craft adjusted their direction and cut into the retrograde orbit of the earth.
Due to the adjustment of the combat plan, the launch plan of Qiongzhou had to be temporarily adjusted. Later that day, the landing craft belonging to the second battalion docked with the spacecraft from Qiongzhou, and the soldiers got the precious flight bag.
At about 8 o'clock that night, the second battalion cut into the atmosphere from the sky above the Vanuatu Islands, and flew straight down like a meteor falling into the atmosphere. The landing craft was like a small boat between the crests and valleys, and the violently shaking hull could disintegrate at any time.
The soldiers' hearts were in their throats, and everyone fixed themselves tightly in their seats, gritting their teeth and persevering anxiously.
A few minutes later, the landing craft gradually stabilized and turned to level flight at an altitude of 20,000 meters, flying directly to northern Australia along the 14th parallel of south latitude.
When it was time to change to normal, Ouyang Ping leaned over the window and looked down, and was surprised to find that there was a large snow-white cloud below the formation!
The cloud blocked all vision. Although the satellite positioning showed that the formation had flown over the eastern part of Australia, no land could be seen in any direction. There were only clouds in sight.
Ouyang Ping suddenly found a bowl-like depression in the cloud, and all the clouds were slowly rotating around the depression.
He almost bit his tongue. Isn't this the legendary eye of the storm? This thing is the symbol of a tropical cyclone. To be more professional, it is called a tropical cyclone, and to be more straightforward, it is a typhoon!
It's okay if there is a typhoon, but why is there no movement above? Shouldn't they notify us?
Ouyang Ping was so upset that he immediately contacted Ye Han: "Boss, we have reached the east coast of Australia, but there is a typhoon below!"
"I saw it." Ye Han said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem. The typhoon is heading north. Marida will only cause a little rain at most, which will not affect the airborne landing."
Ouyang Ping breathed a sigh of relief and touched his nose awkwardly.
Ye Han said again: "It doesn't matter if you go to northern Australia. This thing can only run forty or fifty kilometers an hour. I can't catch up with you even if I die of exhaustion."
Ouyang Ping was even more embarrassed: "I understand. I will rush over as soon as possible."
Ye Han laughed: "Okay, hang up." He didn't say anything else. The Luzhou aircraft carrier battle group had just entered the typhoon range not long ago and was heading towards northern Australia under the cover of the typhoon.
If there is no typhoon cover, it would be troublesome if the alien fleet attacked the aircraft carrier.
After the communication ended, Ouyang Ping rubbed his face hard and never looked at the typhoon again.
Half an hour later, the fleet was about to arrive at Marida, but at this time Marida was covered by clouds at the edge of the cyclone. The fleet still could not see the land and could only determine the location through satellite.
At 8:38 pm, the fleet began to lower its altitude. Two minutes later, the fleet fell into the clouds, and was surrounded by white clouds above, below, left and right. The pilot could only fly according to the data on the instrument.
At 8:44, the fleet broke through the clouds, and the pilot finally saw Marida on the side of the sea bend: "Report to the battalion commander, Marida was found, please prepare for airborne!"
"Received!" Ouyang Ping put on his helmet and stood up with a rifle: "Get ready to go!"
At an order, the officers and soldiers on the boat stood up and helped each other to carry their flight bags.
Just half a minute later, the fleet arrived at the scheduled airborne location. The red light in the cabin turned green instantly, the tail door slowly opened, the wind whistled, and the surging air flow rushed into the cabin.
Ouyang Ping leaped out of the rear hatch in a big letter shape. After a few seconds of free fall, he started the flight bag, unfolded the folded wings, and the falling speed immediately slowed down. Then he started the engine and flew towards Marida like a big bird.
Behind him, on his left and right, the soldiers unfolded their wings and quickly formed a flight formation, just like a large group of migratory birds in the sky.
Marida had long been shrouded in dark clouds, but the night vision device turned the night into day. The storage area, residential area, industrial area and dock, everything was captured by the soldiers.
Marida was quiet and peaceful in the dark night. The street lights illuminated the empty streets. Ouyang Ping did not see a giant insect, but he saw many human bones scattered on the roadside corners.
If it were not for these human bones, I am afraid no one would believe that Marida had fallen into the hands of aliens.
At this time, the landing craft was about to fly to the industrial area. The roar of the engine shook the earth. A large group of giant insects suddenly appeared on the empty street.
These giant insects have long legs and strong bodies, with huge heads raised high, and their huge jaws like chainsaws are facing the sky.
Ouyang Ping has never seen such giant insects before, and he doesn't care what kind of mutation they are. He only has one thing to do, that is to destroy them, destroy them, and destroy them!
The landing formation flew to the industrial area in a blink of an eye and dropped the airdrop capsule hanging under the wing.
The shuttle-shaped airdrop capsule fell freely like a bomb, and suddenly opened the parachute when it was about to land, and then plunged into the ground.
Ouyang Ping's pupils shrank slightly: "No. 1 air-raid shelter of the first company, No. 2 air-raid shelter of the second company, and the third company collects ammunition. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Ouyang Ping dived suddenly, and the sound of tearing wind came from his ears: "Follow me!" The power armor has no streamlined shape, and the huge wind noise is like the crying of evil spirits in the depths of hell.
The soldiers immediately followed, and a group of people rushed to the open space outside the air-raid shelter.
While the man was still in mid-air, Ouyang Ping took off his armored rifle with his backhand. The giant insect near the air-raid shelter said, "Shoot!"
Gunshots rang out, bullets rained down, bullets fell from the sky and shattered the insect shells, yellow-green insect blood splashed, and more than a dozen giant insects fell down.
A small open space appeared in the air-raid shelter, and the soldiers moved their guns outward and quickly expanded the airdrop field.
The giant insects nearby heard the gunshots and rushed to the air-raid shelter like crazy.
Ouyang Ping saw the movement of the insect swarm in the air, and he took off a grenade and threw it away from the air-raid shelter with all his strength.
The soldiers didn't understand what it meant, and still followed the established steps to eliminate the giant insects.
A few seconds later, the grenade exploded in the air nearly 200 meters away, and the insect swarm rushing towards the air-raid shelter suddenly fell into chaos, not knowing where to run, but the continuous gunshots quickly pointed out the direction for the insect swarm.
The soldiers suddenly realized and took off the grenades and threw them out.
Ouyang Ping took the opportunity to shout: "Stop shooting..."
The gunfire stopped, and the continuous explosions confused the giant insects' hearing. The swarm of insects fell into confusion again, but they quickly determined the direction and rushed to the air-raid shelter again.
Ouyang Ping took the opportunity to land. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the wings behind him immediately flipped and folded, turning into an inconspicuous backpack again.
The soldiers of the first company landed beside Ouyang Ping, and he immediately ordered: "The first row stays where it is, the second row enters the air-raid shelter, and the third row is in reserve!"
"Yes!"
Haha, it's quite unexpected. I was promoted to level 4 today... But there seems to be no difference between level 3 and level 4. Level 5 is the watershed... To be honest, do I have the chance to be promoted to level 5 in this life?
