The film starts with the Navy SEALs

Chapter 313 It's Our Time to Work

The time came to 4:38.

The seriously injured Humvee convoy, which set off first, left the city and returned to the airport smoothly under the guidance of the command helicopter before the Somalis could fully react.

Except for Sergeant Pella who was killed on the way, and two machine gunners were injured, the mission was generally completed.

If Blackburn hadn't been seriously injured, all the personnel who participated in the operation would have gone back, and those were the casualties.

It might even be lower.

After all, if it is a full-body Humvee convoy, there are a total of 12 skilled and fierce firepower on board, which can more effectively suppress the Somali militias on both sides of the street.

It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in the world. Since it happened, we can only accept it.

4 points.

In the Humvee convoy that was still running in circles in the city, another armed truck with a "big tree attracting the wind" was hit by an rpg in the cockpit while driving.

This time the convoy stopped in time and was forced to build a defense line on the spot to start rescue.

The helicopter formation needs to cover in the air to buy time for the people who get out of the truck.

After escorting the seriously injured convoy back to the airport, Super 64 just returned to the Black Hawk formation, and became the third "unlucky kid" in the process.

Aidid's armed militia arrived, and from a tricky angle, they fired two RPGs at Super 64 at the same time.

The pilot Durant reacted very quickly, and immediately made an emergency evasion action, perfectly dodging the first rocket.

It is a pity that the second shot was not avoided, or only half of it was avoided.

"嗙~"

The rocket hit the tail of the helicopter.

Because of the collision angle, the RPG did not directly explode and break the tail.

Instead, it hit the tail and turned into a ricochet, which was bounced off after colliding with the tail rotor.

The tail rotor and the RPG diamond were out of order. The Super 64 pilot reported that the fuselage was shaking severely, and the steering pedal had abnormal vibrations. He requested to return to the airport immediately for an emergency landing.

Lieutenant Colonel Matthews agreed!

As a result, the Super 64 flew back less than half a mile, and was knocked out of the faulty tail rotor by the Rpg, and suddenly the whole shedding bomb flew out.

The helicopter could no longer maintain its steering balance and, like the Super 61, became an aerial gyro.

After only struggling in the air for dozens of seconds, it fell on Markham Road, a mile away.

The fall of the second Black Hawk helicopter made the joint operation force go from completely passive to completely out of control.

The balance that dominates this battlefield has completely tilted towards Aidid.

The Joint Operations Center fell into a deathly silence. Looking at the Super 64 crash site in the surveillance images, all the officers looked very ugly.

The distance between the two crash points is more than 2 kilometers, so how to rescue the Super 64 has become a big problem.

At this time, the crash site of Super 61 has established a safety zone under the cooperation of the two Ranger detachments and the combat search and rescue team.

The injured Delta team members have not been rescued, and the Hummer team has not yet arrived.

None of the three Ranger squads could leave.

Among the remaining ground troops that can be dispatched, except for the "long-distance running" in the urban area of ​​Mogadishu, the Humvee convoy that has suffered heavy casualties.

Only the first team and the fourth team that had already set off for the crash site of Super 61, but are still on the way.

And after completing the capture of high-value targets and stuffing the criminals into the Humvee convoy, he volunteered to join the Delta First Team in the rescue.

Leading the charge was Captain Steele.

The three groups have now converged and could theoretically go to the second crash site for rescue.

But they set off from both ends of the far side of the target building and walked less than 500 meters for more than 20 minutes, and they are still stuck on the road and have not arrived.

The distance from the second crash point is as long as two kilometers, at the speed of their "turtle".

It takes at least two hours.

Although the second crash site is far away from the Black Sea area, it will take some time for Aidid's militia and the fooled and brainwashed Somali militia to rush there.

But it should never take two hours, ten to twenty minutes will be enough.

If Captain Steele led people to rush there, let alone a rescue, it would be too late to collect the corpse.

Not to mention the fact that the two units under Captain Steele moved so slowly because they encountered too many armed militias and fought all the way. Now more than half of them have been injured.

It's okay to linger in their state, and saving people is basically free.

On the road, the whole army will be destroyed.

Garrison knew that Steele's side would not work, so he could only hand over the rescue mission to the Humvee convoy, and asked Lieutenant Colonel McKnight to go to the second crash site for support.

And let the three Humvees that had returned from Stryker return to the battlefield to the second crash point.

In order to buy time for the ground troops, General Garrison sent two Black Hawks to rush over——

Super 68 and Super 62.

One is to investigate the situation at the second crash site and prepare in advance for the arrival of ground troops for the next operation.

The other is to provide suppressive fire from the air, preventing armed Somali militias from approaching the wreckage of Super 64 until ground troops arrive.

"I really guessed it!"

After receiving the order from Lieutenant Colonel Harrell, Long Zhan was filled with grief and joy, silently picked up a tactical backpack, and stuffed four 7.62 drums into it.

Sonny, Clay, and Brian looked serious, but they didn't worry too much.

Because Harrell's order to the emergency response team is only to provide fire support in the air, and there is no need to land on the ground to fight.

In addition, the three of them did not have the ability to foresight, so they did not know that the ground troops would not be able to catch up.

It is just to provide fire support from the air, and it is difficult for ground-launched RPGs to hit when the helicopter is always maneuvering.

It seems that there is basically no danger, and it is completely reasonable for the three of them not to worry.

When the Super 68 was still on the way, the Super 62 helicopter seemed to arrive first, and Long Zhan heard the pilot's radio call.

"Call C2, this is Super 62, I have two Delta snipers Suhart and Gordon on board, voluntarily land and rescue Super 64, over."

The sooner rescue is carried out at the crash site, the more likely it is to save a survivor's life.

That's probably what Suhart and Gordon had in mind.

"C2 received, Super 62, request dismissed, no more risky helicopters, we didn't see any moving objects at the crash site, we don't even know if there were any survivors.

Besides, ground troops were being sent there, and there was no need to risk an air landing to rescue them. "

Matthews' voice was unusually calm, as if the successive crashes of two Black Hawk helicopters had nothing to do with him as the air commander.

This may seem a bit too indifferent, but in fact this is the necessary calmness of a commander.

"How long is the estimated arrival time of the ground troops?" the Super 62 pilot asked.

Long Zhan guessed it was for Suhart or Gordon.

"I don't know, it shouldn't take long, you just need to assist as much as possible in the air, and Super 68 will join you soon, over."

Matthews gave another warning, probably because he was out of the shadow by the continuous falling of the Black Hawk.

"Super 62 received."

Durant ended his call with Matthews and temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​landing.

As he was rushing to the second crash point on the Super 68, Long Zhan said to Sonny: "Hey, buddy, I think... After sitting on the bench for so long, it's time for us to go to work."

"What? I didn't hear clearly, repeat."

Sonny looked at Long Zhan in astonishment.
