One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty Airborne Landing in Northern Australia

Ye Han briefly explained the mission and instructed: "After completing the mission, retreat here. The navy has arranged a warship to pick you up. Does anyone have any questions?"

"Me!" Xiao Yuan raised his hand first, "Captain, how about we switch places? I'll go find that bug man and ask the fifth squadron to investigate the navy. They have a special identity and it's easier for them to operate in enemy-occupied areas than us."

"Wait a minute!" Luo Qi jumped out immediately, "Captain, I think I'm the most suitable. They haven't seen Carlos, but I'm familiar with him. I met him on Buha Island. It's easier to talk to me than to these strangers, right?"

When Xiao Yuan heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "What are you talking about? Are you trying to steal the mission?"

Luo Qi showed no weakness: "I'm not stealing. I'm telling the truth!"

Tao Chengyu also wanted to speak, but no matter how familiar they were, the fifth and sixth squadrons were new after all. To put it nicely, they had not made any achievements. To put it bluntly, they were not qualified enough. They couldn't compete for missions with the old special forces.

Xiao Yuan and Luo Qi were unwilling to give in to each other. After a few words, Ouyang Ping also joined in. The three of them were talking back and forth, all wanting to grab the task.

Ye Han was overwhelmed: "Okay, okay, what are you arguing about!"

Several people stopped talking immediately and looked at Ye Han with expectation.

Ye Han said: "I really didn't think about this matter well. In this way, Luo Qi will lead the fourth squadron to contact Carlos, Tao Chengyu will lead the fifth squadron to cooperate; Xiao Yuan will lead the second squadron to investigate the navy, Liu Xingguo will lead the sixth squadron to cooperate, and the first and second squadrons will serve as the reserve team!"

Ouyang Ping wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Ye Han glared back and could only shut up in dissatisfaction.

Ye Han actually didn't want to send so many troops down, because although orbital airborne is not a waste of money, it is not much better than a waste of money. A few months ago, the troops would not know when they would be able to come back after being deployed. If a problem can be solved by one person, two people will definitely not be arranged to go down.

Now that the orbital elevator has returned to Earth, ground-to-air traffic has been restored, and the cost of returning to space has been greatly reduced. If it weren't for this premise, how could Ye Han send so many troops together?

The military has always had a tradition of competing for missions. No matter whether they are really willing or not, as long as there is a mission, they must compete for it, even if the mission target is located in an extremely dangerous enemy-occupied area.

It won't take long for the Languan to fly over Australia. Everyone will take action immediately. Regardless of whether they have received a mission or not, they will all carefully check their equipment and prepare for battle.

Seven minutes later,

Everyone is ready. Sixteen minutes later, the warship will arrive in northern Australia. Four squadrons will leave the ship one after another, flying towards the earth like a sharp arrow from a string. After a while, they will enter the atmosphere and become a group of burning meteors.

Ye Han returned to the bridge and kept an eye on the position of the troops.

Soon after, Ye Han received a message from the ground: "Languan, the second and fifth squadrons landed, the bugs did not intercept them, no one was injured on the landing, but they deviated from the scheduled landing site by 12 kilometers, everything else is normal!"

Ye Han asked worriedly: "Second squadron, did you find any bugs?"

"Report, no!"

"Okay, get closer to the target immediately, pay attention to safety, over!"

Soon after the call ended, Ye Han received another report from Luo Qi: "Everything is normal with the fourth and sixth squadrons!"

"Where are you located? Have you found the target?"

Luo Qi replied: "The target is two kilometers east of the landing point, we will go there now!"

"Be careful!" Ye Han said.

The troops in both directions were fine, and Ye Han was slightly relieved.

Orbital airdrops are very dangerous. Any battle must start with a successful airdrop. The successful landing of the participating troops is obviously a very good start.

Xiao Yuan and Luo Qi are both experienced veterans. Judging from the data sent back to the warship by the satellite, the soldiers in both directions did not rush to act, but immediately released drones to scout the situation near the landing point.

The result of the reconnaissance was very good, and not a single bug was found within the warning range!

Although Australia is an enemy-occupied area, bugs are rarely seen on the ground here. It's not that there are no bugs, but they hide in the caves and don't come out.

Why? They are scared by the warships in the sky!

It's not fun for warships to cruise the sky. When there are missions, they perform missions, and when there are no missions, they can't be idle all the time. No matter who sees bugs on the ground, they can use laser cannons to bombard them a few times. Killing one is killing one, anyway, a laser doesn't cost much.

At the beginning, there was only one assault ship in the air, the Languan. Now, a few months have passed, and three more assault ships have been added to the orbit. The four assault ships are looking for trouble with bugs all over the world, and the number of bugs killed piecemeal is at least 8,000.

These bugs are nothing to the aliens, but too much loss is always not a good thing. The aliens simply restrain the swarm of bugs, prohibiting the bugs from running on the ground, and hiding in the caves when they have nothing to do.

Xiao Yuan got the reconnaissance results first, and the troops immediately moved towards the target area, but the speed was not very fast, obviously to prevent accidents.

Then the troops in Luo Qi's direction also began to move, and the speed was also cautious.

Because the distance was much closer, Luo Qi quickly led the team to the vicinity of the target.

To prevent accidents, the troops stopped half a kilometer away from the target, and everyone dispersed and hid, quietly observing the situation in the target area.

The place where the insect man sent the distress signal is located on the top of the mountain, which is a small open space surrounded by trees. The vegetation here greatly affects observation. The soldiers can only monitor the situation on the top of the mountain through drones.

The drone quickly searched the top of the mountain, but did not find even half a person. It only found a broken mirror. The largest piece was only the size of a plate. All the fragments put together were at most the size of a washbasin.

Luo Qi immediately realized that something was wrong: "Everyone pay attention, check again, and report any abnormal details to me!"

After that, he contacted Ye Han again: "Captain, is there any pattern of Carlos's actions?"

Ye Han replied: "I'll ask!" After that, he contacted Beiyuezhou and asked for Carlos's monitoring data.

Not long after, the satellite data was transmitted to Ye Han. After reading it, Ye Han said to Luo Qi: "Carlos is very cautious. I didn't find any pattern. You hide first and wait for him to come out!"

"Understood!" Luo Qi replied.

From contact to lurking, he felt as if ten thousand alpacas were running through his mind, and couldn't help wondering where Carlos was hiding.

Could it be that he saw the special forces airborne and hid on purpose?

Probably not, this power armor is the best identity mark. Since he took the initiative to send a distress signal to the sky, he shouldn't hide when he saw the orbital airborne!
