Chapter 873 Two Z-8 Helicopters, Unfortunately
Chapter 873 Two Z-8 helicopters, what a pity.
From the military map, the road distance from Gui City to the Dazhangshu base is more than 900 kilometers, and the straight-line distance is about 700 kilometers.
The helicopter they are driving can reach the destination without refueling.
After the helicopter took off, it did not stop in Xincheng, but flew directly to the helicopter base in Huaxi District, Gui City.
In the helicopter, Lao Luo and his men put on combat uniforms and were checking magazines and firearms.
This time they did not carry too many heavy weapons, only the equipped automatic rifles and 500 rounds of bullets per person.
In addition, they also carried five rocket launchers, which were light and easy to use. They would bring them almost every time they drove a helicopter.
In the helicopter, Li Yu checked the map and compared the information in the military map with the civilian map. The difference was still very large.
Only one location was shown on the civilian map, without specific content.
But the content on the military map was much richer.
Soon.
An hour later, they left Gan Province and came to Xiang Province, and then to Guizhou Province.
The helicopter maintained an altitude of more than 1,000 meters and kept a constant speed of 260 kilometers per hour.
At this altitude, it is actually relatively safe.
In some movies before the end of the world, there seems to be a scene like this, where a person on the ground shoots at the sky with a rocket launcher, and can shoot down a helicopter.
This is actually false. Not to mention that the speed of the helicopter is maintained at a speed of more than 200 kilometers, and at a distance of two or three kilometers, the helicopter in the sky is almost the same as a point.
Unless the helicopter really lands, it is only a few hundred meters away, in which case it is indeed possible to be hit.
But being hit does not mean that it will fall. The glass of the helicopter is bulletproof. Under normal circumstances, ground attacks, unless anti-aircraft rapid-fire guns are used specifically for air strikes, otherwise it is difficult to shoot down a helicopter.
After another hour, they left the territory of Xiang Province and came to Gui Province.
Everyone on the plane was on guard, waiting for the search mission after arriving at the destination.
Uncle San explained the details of the action to everyone in the helicopter and assigned tasks.
At this time, Jackal suddenly said in the intercom: "Captain, survivors have been found below."
After that, Uncle San stopped talking, then leaned against the window and looked down.
A convoy, loaded with all kinds of things, followed by many people, was walking slowly along the road at this time.
Uncle San took a general look, thought about it, and stopped looking.
The probability of encountering other survivors in the end of the world is not very high, but they are flying in the air in a helicopter, so it is reasonable to see them.
If you see it, you see it. After all, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, it is unlikely to cause any conflict.
So Uncle San ignored it, and the others did the same. They took a quick look and shifted their sights.
Uncle San continued to finish what he had not finished saying just now with everyone.
Who would have thought that after more than ten minutes, Lao Qin also found a group of survivors. The scale of this group of survivors was not as large as the previous wave, but there were also dozens of people.
After Li Yu saw these survivors, especially seeing that they seemed to be migrating.
There was a trace of doubt in his heart.
The survivors in the apocalypse are more cautious about outsiders, and try to reduce contact, especially rarely appearing in a big way.
"They look like they are moving?" Lao Qin said.
Jackal also said: "I have the same feeling. You said they are searching for supplies, but it doesn't seem like who would bring so many belongings when searching for supplies.
They give me the feeling that someone is chasing them."
The word "chasing" said by the jackal made everyone suddenly become serious.
Chasing?
That must be something that threatens their lives and safety, otherwise who would be willing to walk on the road in a big way at the risk of danger.
What if they encounter road robbers?
Everyone is a little curious. These two consecutive waves of survivors gave them a bad feeling.
But they can't go down and ask directly now, it's too dangerous.
It's too close to the ground. What if someone shoots a cold gun in the dark.
So they keep going straight, reach the rescue base as soon as possible, find a helicopter, and return to the big camphor tree base as soon as possible.
But what made them feel more and more uneasy was that they drove for another half an hour and encountered more teams of survivors, a total of four or five teams of survivors.
The smallest team had only seven or eight people, and the largest team had hundreds of people.
These teams looked a bit like they were fleeing, which made Li Yu pay attention.
He immediately asked everyone to maintain the highest alert state and asked the jackal to raise the helicopter to 2,500 meters.
Usually they rarely saw other survivors, but today they met one after another, which was definitely not a good sign.
The helicopter flew for another ten minutes, and they finally arrived above the rescue base.
Looking down at the entire rescue base from above, there were only two or three helicopters on the ground, and it seemed that they had crashed and scrapped.
Using a telescope to check, the surfaces of the two or three helicopters were burned black.
Uncle San saw this scene and sighed and said:
"This is normal. After all, when the apocalypse just broke out, the government must have sent people to rescue in the first place. The helicopter is highly maneuverable and must have been sent out first. But we can go down and take a look. It's not easy to come here."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Well, let's go down and take a look. If it doesn't work, we will go down and refuel, and then turn to the secret underground military base in Kun City. Maybe there will be gains there."
After hearing this, the jackal immediately controlled the helicopter to hover in the sky.
He didn't go down immediately. He just met so many survivors, which made him a little uneasy. If he went down rashly, what if there were people below?
After circling in the air for a few minutes, the jackal landed the helicopter.
They had to land. The helicopter's endurance was only more than 900 kilometers. If they didn't refuel, they couldn't fly far.
They chose to land in the center of the rescue base.
This place is the parking spot for helicopters, so it is very suitable for parking helicopters.
The helicopter landed safely.
The moment the door was opened, Uncle San and Li Yu jumped out of the helicopter immediately.
Then came Lao Qin, Lao Luo and others.
After Jackal turned off the helicopter, he unfastened his seat belt, walked to the rear cabin, and pushed out the oil barrel with a cart, ready to refuel the helicopter.
Ant next to him helped him refuel the helicopter.
The rescue base covers a large area, surrounded by walls, and there is an isolation belt outside to prevent people from running in.
Li Yu said to Uncle San: "It seems that this rescue base used to have at least a dozen aircraft parked."
Uncle San nodded and said: "Well, let's go to that room and take a look."
After that, he shouted to Lao Luo: "Lao Luo, you leave two people to protect the helicopter, and the others follow me."
Lao Luo nodded, and then asked Xiao Ding and Xiao Liu to stay and stand outside the helicopter to protect it.
Jackal and Ant had to refuel the helicopter, so they didn't go to search together.
The other six people walked towards the flat building not far away.
This building has only two floors, but the first floor is ten meters high and very long, and the outer layer is made of glass.
But at this time, the glass was all broken, and it became a house with air leaks everywhere.
Uncle San and the others walked over.
After walking in from the gate, there were glass fragments all over the floor.
The room was spacious, with a height of ten meters, which looked quite grand.
"Huh? Uncle San, look, there are two helicopters over there!" Li Yu saw a helicopter standing on the central exhibition stand, and another one was hanging crookedly between the exhibition stand and the ground.
As soon as this was said, everyone looked over excitedly.
The appearance of the two helicopters looked a bit horrible. The doors of the helicopters were removed, and there were more than a dozen bullet holes scattered on the entire fuselage.
"It should be for display. The Z-8 rescue helicopter is a large helicopter with a maximum take-off weight of 13 tons and can carry 27 to 39 passengers." Lao Luo said like a treasure.
After saying that, everyone ran over.
But the closer they got, the more their hearts sank.
The two helicopters seemed to be a bit scrapped.
But they did not give up, but went forward to check.
Li Yu did not understand these things very well. He had only recently learned to fly a helicopter and did not know some of the parts inside the helicopter.
The few people brought by Lao Luo had all done helicopter repairs, so they knew a lot about helicopters.
Li Yu just took a look in the helicopter and then got off the helicopter.
Lao Luo, Lao Qin and others entered the helicopter for inspection.
When Lao Luo checked, his expression was very rich.
Sometimes he was happy, and sometimes he frowned, but after checking for more than ten minutes, Lao Luo asked someone to go outside and bring in the aviation kerosene from the helicopter parked outside, as well as some repair instruments.
Then he poured the aviation kerosene into this helicopter and tried to start it.
But after adding the aviation kerosene, the helicopter still could not be started.
So Lao Luo turned to try another helicopter, but he didn't expect it to work. However, after starting it, he checked the dashboard and found some problems.
Ten minutes later, Lao Luo stood in front of Li Yu to report the situation:
"There are two good news and one bad news.
The good news is that the fuselage of the first helicopter was damaged by more than 20%. However, the rotor, tail rotor, transmission system, and landing gear are intact.
The other one is almost the same.
But the bad news is that the engine of the first helicopter has some problems and cannot be ignited and started.
The other sensor is completely scrapped.
Without repairing these two, these two helicopters cannot fly."
Li Yu glanced at Lao Luo and said speechlessly: "Just tell me if it can be repaired, and how long it will take to repair it?"
Lao Luo coughed and said with a smile: "The engine can be repaired, and there are some parts damaged. It is estimated to take three days in total. As for the sensor problem of the other helicopter, I just heard Lao Qin say that this thing was dismantled from another scrapped helicopter before."
Li Yu looked at Lao Qin and asked: "Uncle Qin, are you sure it has it?"
Lao Qin looked happy and said with a smile: "Yes, when we went to Zheng City before, weren't there three helicopters? We removed all the important parts that could be used from the other two helicopters. , there are sensors,
But it's stored in our base, so I'll probably have to go back and get it. "
After hearing the two people's replies, Li Yu showed a happy smile on his face.
If it can be repaired, then that's fine. It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not.
As long as they can fly normally, that's enough for them.
So I immediately discussed with my third uncle: "Third Uncle, why don't we ask Uncle Ant and the others to go back and bring the sensor over? We can just bring over some more aviation kerosene."
The third uncle nodded and said: "Yeah, I think so too. Let the jackal and the ant go alone. There is not much point in having more people."
"Okay, by the way, Lao Luo, how many people do you have who can repair helicopters?"
Lao Luo thought for a while and said: "There are still a few people in our base who know this. My brother will give you a list. With them coming together to repair, it is estimated that the speed can be faster, about two days at the fastest."
When Li Yu heard this, he said to his third uncle: "Just bring a few more people over to speed up the repairs."
"You look at the arrangements." Third uncle nodded.
So Li Yu contacted the jackal and the ant.
The two of them had already filled the helicopter with aviation kerosene. They were also very excited when they heard Li Yu said that there were two helicopters available, but they needed to be repaired.
The Z-8 has a very strong transportation capability. If these two helicopters are repaired, the strength of the Da Zhangshu Base will reach a new level.
So, without any nonsense, they left the military radio behind and flew the helicopter in the direction of the Da Zhangshu base.
They set off from Da Zhangshu Base at 7 o'clock this morning, and it was already 10:30 when they arrived here. They waited outside for half an hour, and the time is now 11 o'clock.
If they could go back and come here faster, they would be able to deliver the sensors and other things today.
After they left, Li Yu used the military radio to contact his uncle and others in the base.
Let them prepare aviation kerosene, sensors, and some parts and instruments needed for this repair, and have the repairmen on Lao Luo's list also be ready. After Jackal and the others return, Come together.
In this way, the preparation time can be saved, so that after Jackal and the others return, they can set off again in a very short time.
After explaining all this, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he walked to the roof of the building and overlooked the surrounding environment.
Thinking about having two more helicopters, he felt very happy.
The Zhiba can carry nearly 40 fully armed combatants. Including the Mi-8 they originally owned, with a crew of 3, it can carry 27 people, which is 30 people.
In this case, they have a commando group consisting of three helicopters.
In terms of combat, they can support a coverage area of thousands of kilometers, and with the equipment prepared by more than a hundred of them, they obviously feel like bullying in today's apocalypse.
In terms of transportation, it can also play a big role. Although it still cannot compare with the ground transportation volume, it is also very powerful for the transportation of some arms.
"Very lucky." The third uncle came up from the steps, smoking a cigarette, and said to Li Yu.
The third uncle didn't say what it was specifically, but Li Yu instantly understood what he meant.
Li Yu answered: "Yes, there are very few people who can fly helicopters, and even fewer people who can repair them. This place must have been visited by people after the apocalypse, but they have not taken advantage of it. To be precise, Said they had no choice.”
"So, we are quite lucky. In the early years, there were very few helicopters in the country."
As soon as the third uncle finished speaking, he suddenly looked towards the woods outside the wall and frowned.
"There is someone!" Third Uncle said.
