Chapter 1392 Only Dongfeng Is to Blame
It grew darker and darker until night fell, and as the time to gear up and set out grew closer, the wind picked up.
It is said that everything is ready and only the east wind is to blame, but now everything is ready and only the east wind is to blame.
Because the wind is too strong...
And it’s Dongfeng.
I can’t say that this group of people are all meteorological experts, but they can definitely see the weather. Although they don’t know much about the local climate in Cape Town, they are definitely masters in judging wind strength and direction. .
"Based on Cape Town's year-round meteorological conditions, the wind is too strong. In another two hours, the wind may become lighter."
After Grevatov finished speaking, Karl Stemundson immediately said: "I think it may not get lighter, and the wind is a bit humid, and there is a high probability of rain."
Tarta looked at his watch and said a little impatiently: "The wind has reached level 5, which is too big. The instantaneous wind force can reach level 6 or even level 7. It is a thunderstorm! The thunderstorm will not last too long."
Brian said calmly: "Everyone, if you pay attention to the local climate conditions, you will understand that after the rainy season here, strong winds and heavy rains usually come alternately, that is, the wind will be strong and weak. If you want to skydive, we We can only wait for a weather window in the sky."
Why are they worried when the wind is too strong? It's because Yang Yi and the others plan to parachute, jump directly into Da Iwan's manor, and launch an attack immediately.
There are many ways to use space, and parachuting is undoubtedly the most common one. The advantage of airborne troops in combat is that they can penetrate directly into the heart of the enemy. The disadvantage is that they cannot carry and use heavy weapons, so airborne troops are like a sharp but light weapon. The short sword, once this sword fails to penetrate into the enemy's heart but pierces the enemy's armor, it will break.
Yang Yi's group of people are not airborne troops, but they have better parachuting abilities than airborne troops. Jumping high and flying low is the basic operation method. Therefore, they can choose the most dangerous airborne method and perform a maneuver that is usually avoided. fighting.
That is to jump directly on top of the enemy's head and launch an attack directly after landing, without the opportunity to assemble and organize the offensive formation before starting the battle.
The risk is high, but the benefit is also great, that is, it can achieve the greatest suddenness and make the enemy completely unable to react.
But parachuting depends on the weather. It’s okay to parachute under light wind conditions, but if the wind is so strong, it’s impossible to parachute.
Especially the wind does not always blow in the same direction at the same speed. Imagine that more than a dozen people skydive. During the descent, they encountered a strong wind, and the wind speed was unstable. So after landing, someone fell outside the manor. If you fall inside, there are people in the east and others in the west. How can you fight at this time?
The Black Devil, the Magic Box, and the Three-Headed Dog all have the confidence to parachute in the middle of the night because their skydiving skills are very good and they can control the landing point within a very small range. But when the wind blows, no one can Guarantee that where you will end up has nothing to do with technology.
Therefore, Yang Yi and the others' plans were either postponed, kept waiting to take action when the weather improved, or simply canceled and came back when the weather was good.
Or change the attack method, such as abandoning the parachute plan and changing it to air landing, that is, taking a helicopter to the ground and then starting the attack.
In the movie, helicopter attack scenes are almost undetected, but in fact, there are very few direct attacks from helicopters because it is difficult, unless the enemy is a terrorist without any air defense capabilities.
It should be noted that this refers to taking a helicopter to land directly on the enemy's head. As for taking a helicopter to reach a safe area without enemies, the crew will get off the plane and then gather to covertly engage the enemy. This kind of landing directly on the enemy's head and immediately Going to war is two different things.
About to take action, but encountered difficulties due to weather conditions. This situation... is not only common, it is commonplace for any army. Why do soldiers have to adapt to combat in various climate conditions? Isn't it just to cope with it? Is this the case?
"The Great Ivan has anti-aircraft missiles, even if they are only portable air defense missiles, the intelligence says that the Great Ivan does not have an air defense radar..."
Karl paused for a while, and then he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it's not that I don't believe in your professional abilities, but the world's largest arms dealer, does he not have air defense radar? Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway."
How should I explain this to Karl?
In fact, this battle is just a drill, just a play. Everyone's fate has been arranged, so there is nothing to worry about. Can you say this?
So of course Karl's worries are justified, right? Although Yang Yi knows that there is really no air defense radar in Da Ivan, in order to make their breakthrough more convenient.
"Yes, although the intelligence shows that there is no air defense radar, your worries are justified."
If you skydive from a fixed-wing aircraft at high altitude, the threat of shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles is not that great, but if you enter directly by helicopter, one missile will be the result of annihilation of the entire army, so Carl Stemundson can accept high-altitude skydiving. , but cannot accept entering by helicopter.
Yang Yi stood up, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "There will be a thunderstorm tonight, and it will last for a long time, maybe until dawn, so we must either change the date or change the fighting method."
Tarta said loudly: "How do you know so clearly? What is the basis for your judgment?"
Yang Yi was silent for a moment, then he raised his phone and said: "Weather forecast."
Everyone was speechless, and then Carl Stemundson whispered: "Well, uh, well, I haven't used civilian weather forecasts for a long time. I'm used to military-level accurate forecasts, uh, so I forgot that actually You can check the weather forecast, this..."
Brian said solemnly: "That's because he was the only one who brought a mobile phone, we didn't, and we didn't watch TV."
Anton smiled and said: "Admit it, none of you have thought of checking the weather forecast, because you haven't participated in a parachute operation for a long time, and you are all used to people making plans before the war. Weather conditions have been taken into account.”
Everyone was speechless again. After a while, Brian said calmly: "What about you?"
Anton spread his hands and said, "Do you still have to ask? Of course I forgot. Ah, it's so embarrassing. A group of elites didn't even read the weather forecast."
Yang Yi coughed lightly, and then he whispered: "Okay, now let's decide whether to postpone or change the combat method. It's better not to say anything else."
Anton said without hesitation: "Is there any need to postpone? There is no need at all. Let's take a helicopter and land outside Big Ivan's manor, and then launch an attack. What else are we discussing about such a simple matter? Change clothes and prepare to go Bar."
