One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty-Two Ready
There is a reason why Wu Qingbo mentioned the flying bag at this time, because orbital airdrop also has a cost issue.
The ways of orbital airdrop are nothing more than landing craft and airdrop capsules, and landing craft can be further divided into field landing, parachute landing and flying landing.
The lowest cost is undoubtedly field landing, which means that the landing craft finds an airport or a sufficiently flat ground to land; the second is parachute landing, that is, the landing craft flies to the target and parachutes; the third is to fly down from the landing craft with a flying bag on your back; the most expensive is the airdrop capsule.
From what Ye Han said, the possibility of parachuting this time is the highest, but the problem with parachuting is that the direction is difficult to control, and it takes time to assemble troops, which not only affects combat efficiency, but also causes greater casualties.
The flying speed is fast and the positioning is accurate, but the cost of a flying bag is equivalent to that of a luxury private car. Only in the battle of Ganymede that determines the fate of the race will they spare no expense.
Wu Qingbo didn't know whether the higher-ups had set a cost cap for this mission, so he had to ask clearly.
Ye Han also preferred to land by air, nodded and said: "I will try to negotiate with the higher-ups, any other questions?"
"I have a question." Bian Ge said.
Ye Han nodded: "Go ahead."
Bian Ge said: "How much support can the navy give us?"
"The Luzhou aircraft carrier battle group is heading south and is expected to arrive off the coast of Marida in two days." Ye Han drew a line on the water outside the port of Marida, "Any fleet can call."
"I have no questions."
"Who else has questions?" Ye Han looked around the room but no one spoke, "Well, let me say a few more words, the higher-ups didn't set a time limit for us, but the more so, the more we have to race against time, and we will speed up our preparations after we go back, I'll wait for you at the airport!"
"Yes!" Everyone stood up at the same time.
Ye Han turned around to leave, but suddenly turned back: "By the way, Luo Qi, all those who have entered the fusion chamber will be temporarily transferred to the guard company, and the others will cooperate."
"Yes!"
After the meeting, Ye Han immediately rushed to the equipment room, put on his armor and brought all the equipment, and rushed to the station while contacting Bei Yuezhou, and directly found Huo Qiang's office.
After briefly explaining the situation, Huo Qiang immediately instructed: "I only ask whether the mission is completed, no matter how you complete the mission."
"Thank you, Chief!" He hurriedly thanked him, but immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
Huo Qiang sighed helplessly: "What else do you want to do? Tell me."
Ye Han laughed dryly: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. If you don't, I'll die."
"No, no, chief, this is the case. Beiyuezhou doesn't have the flight bag we want. I want you to contact Qiongzhou."
Huo Qiang was stunned, but immediately understood what Ye Han meant: "Okay, wait for the letter."
Ye Han was overjoyed: "Thank you, chief!"
The old man is cunning and slippery. Ye Han didn't need to say it at all. Huo Qiang understood what he meant.
Simply put, there are two types of flight bags for power armor. One is the type I, which is suitable for Ganymede, the moon and all vacuum environments. It looks like a slightly larger backpack.
The airborne division has a lot of such flight bags. There are several warehouses in the camp, and Beiyuezhou still has a lot of stocks.
The other is the type II with a pair of wings, suitable for the atmosphere. Beiyuezhou doesn't have this type at all. Ye Han remembers that the Qiongzhou base has some reserves.
The 1st Airborne Division could not return to Qiongzhou. The only way to get the flight bag was for Qiongzhou to send the flight bag into space with a spacecraft and dock with the landing craft before the operation began. Other equipment could be supplied by the navy after airdrop, but the flight bag had to be used when it was airdropped, and it could not wait.
Ye Han's small arms and legs could not afford to toss around. His only way was to hug the big and thick legs of Commander Huo Qiang.
A few minutes later, Ye Han rushed to the station.
The interior of Nanyuezhou, like Beiyuezhou, is composed of huge underground spaces. In order to ensure the support strength, the distance between each other is not close.
Each space is a district of Nanyuezhou.
In order to solve the traffic problem between regions, the engineering department dug a large number of passages between the districts, laid two-way tracks in the passages, and used various types of rail cars as buses.
The smallest rail car can only accommodate two people, and the largest is no less than a train.
There is a tunnel directly leading to the airport at the airborne division station. There are several rail cars on standby at the station. As long as the soldiers take all the equipment and get on the subway, it only takes a few minutes to get to the airport.
Walking onto the platform, Ye Han saw Luo Qi's fully armed guard company at a glance: "Are all the people here?"
"The seconded ones haven't arrived yet."
Ye Han walked to the first rail car: "No hurry, wait until we get to the airport."
A few minutes later, several battalions arrived one after another and boarded the rail cars in order.
Ye Han was quite satisfied with the speed of each unit. With an order, several rail cars set off in order and stopped at the airport station in less than five minutes.
Before Ye Han got off the car, he saw Wei Chengfei and a group of officers waiting on the platform. Before the rail car stopped, Ye Han jumped out of the car.
Without waiting for Ye Han to speak, Wei Chengfei asked first: "Are you ready?"
"Yes." Ye Han said, "How are you doing here?"
"The landing craft are ready. Are the three bases of bullets enough?"
"It should be enough. We can get more from the navy when the time comes."
"Don't be careless. The navy may not be reliable. What if there is a delay?" Wei Chengfei said, "I am from the navy. The sea has always turned its face when it says it will turn its face."
Ye Han nodded: "Then bring a little more, how about five base numbers?"
"Seven, it should be enough."
"Okay, seven then." Ye Han gritted his teeth and said, "If you have any airdrop pods, give me a few."
The airdrop pod is for carrying supplies and is not the same thing as the airdrop pod.
"Yes, I will put it on the boat for you later... Do you need to put all the ammunition in the airdrop pod?"
"No need." Ye Han shook his head, "Leave three bases in the boat, and put the rest in airdrop pods. It's more convenient... and you can also bring me supplies for three more days."
"Okay, no problem." Wei Chengfei turned around and said a few words, and a group of officers immediately dispersed and began to attach airdrop pods to the landing craft.
The airdrop pod is hung on a landing craft, just like a few oversized aerial bombs, giving people a particularly bloated and clumsy feeling.
Ye Han looked back and saw that the airborne division had basically boarded the landing craft: "Old Wei, I'll retreat first. I'll leave the rest of the tail to you."
"Don't worry, take care."
Ye Han nodded heavily, turned around and jumped to the No. 1 landing craft.
Twelve minutes later, all the airdrop pods were attached, and thirty-one landing craft slid onto the electromagnetic track one after another... One landing craft could only carry one platoon. If it weren't for the fact that the airborne division only had one regiment left, so many landing craft would simply not be able to carry it out. not enough.
A few minutes later, Nanyuezhou Airport sent thirty-one landing craft off the moon one after another at a rate of one every half minute.
At 10 a.m. on December 26, 2030, the airborne formation flew away from the moon.
