Chapter 346 HRST Tactics - The Most Exciting Evacuation Method

11:14pm.

More than 7 hours have passed since Operation Irene started.

More than 6 hours have passed since recruit Todd Blackburn was seriously injured and the butterfly wings flapped for the first time.

The C2 Black Hawk, the Super 63, which took off from Mogadishu Airport, finally came to the sky above the Institute of Engineering.

The focus of the officers of the Joint Operations Center has also shifted from other battlefields to this humble refugee holding area.

Now that the operation has been completely out of control, whether this operation that has completely failed can finally come to a decent ending depends on whether Aidid can be successfully brought back.

If Aidid can be brought back smoothly, at least the initial purpose of the mission has been achieved.

It can barely be regarded as a guarantee, so that it will not become an international joke.

If Aidid cannot be brought back, then Operation Irene will be recorded in the annals of history as a failure model of special operations operations.

Garrison and other officers present here, one counts as the other, all of them have "resume mixed with shit".

"Suit 64, this is Super 63, I have arrived above your position, confirm whether the roof is suitable for landing, over."

Through the night vision helmet, the Super 63 pilot could see the vigorous fighting scene below, and did not dare to lower the altitude easily.

Enough Blackhawks have fallen today, and he doesn't want to be the third.

"Da da da da..."

Sonny was holding a fake AK assault rifle that he didn't recognize at all, which came from somewhere, and retracted behind the wall after emptying the magazine.

Press the PTT and shouted back: "Suit 64 received, the enemy's firepower is too strong, we don't have enough manpower to suppress and build a safe zone, landing on the roof is very dangerous, you can figure it out."

Sonny's reply was already suppressing his temper, but the truth in his heart was much more irritable.

"Suit 64, I need you to build a safety zone, otherwise I won't be able to land on the roof and help you evacuate with the criminals." The pilot called again.

"We can't do it, over."

Sonny was annoyed by the pilot, and his tone was full of anger and displeasure.

Eight people fought against one or two hundred armed militias. It was already a desperate effort to hold this dormitory building, and it was necessary to suppress the enemy's firepower and establish a safe zone.

It's not a requirement...

This TM is whimsical!

Facing this kind of trouble with Sonny's violent temper, he was already very patient without directly exhaling fragrance, how could he have a good attitude.

"Call Super 63. In our situation, the only feasible strategy is the HRST tactic. I hope you brought that set of equipment with you when you go out." Long Zhan interjected.

HRST: Helicopter Rope Suspension Tactics, a method of rapid aerial evacuation.

The specific operation is not complicated, and it can even be said to be simple.

However, the technical content of man-machine cooperation is very high.

The method of operation is to hang a piece of rope from the helicopter. In addition to the section hanging in the air, it can also be spread on the ground ranging from a few meters to a dozen meters. There is no safe distance of about two meters, and each has a special thick rope with a lock.

When the helicopter stabilizes in the air, the people on the ground lay the rope with the lock in a straight line on the ground.

With the section in the air, form an "L shape".

Then the people who need to evacuate put on their safety belts, hang the safety belts on the rope locks in groups of two and two,

Finally, as the helicopter climbs vertically, the section spread out on the ground will leave the ground with height, and the person who hangs himself on the rope will also rise into the air as the rope rises.

Pairs are carried to the sky with ropes as cores, forming structures resembling bunches of grapes.

After reaching a certain height, the helicopter will maintain a posture of hanging a group of people in the air, and quickly evacuate from the dangerous area.

In the specific situation where the helicopter cannot land on the ground and needs to evacuate quickly.

The HRST tactic is very practical. It is at least 10 times faster than putting down a soft rope ladder from a helicopter and climbing up one by one.

Based on the calculation of 8 people like Long Zhan, it takes at least two to three minutes to climb up the ladder.

If you count being arrested and turned into a prisoner, it is very likely that you will not cooperate with Aidid who took the initiative to climb up, and the time may be extended to four or five minutes.

But switching to HRST tactics for evacuation does not count the previous preparation time, it only starts from the stability of the helicopter, and it can be done in a maximum of 20 seconds.

In this way, it doesn't matter whether Aidid is compatible or not, just tie it up and hang it on it and go away.

of course.

There is no perfect existence in the world.

A thing has a brilliant side, and there must be a bad side.

The advantage of HRST evacuation tactics is its fast speed, but its high degree of danger is also its disadvantage. It is not acceptable for ordinary people to be hung at a height of several hundred meters in the air.

For example, he is afraid of everything, but Sonny who is not afraid of killing people.

"Flying trapeze? Falk, Dragon, this is such a wonderful idea, thank you very much."

The tactic proposed by Long Zhan was so familiar to veterans like Sonny that he immediately complained to Long Zhan.

"You're welcome, I know you like it."

Long Zhan knew that Sonny was speaking ironically, but deliberately interpreted it positively.

In this dangerous situation where he was besieged by hundreds of people and could go to see Hades every minute, he was still in the mood to joke, which shows how big his heart is.

As a top ace first-level combatant, there is nothing to say about his psychological quality.

Both Klein and Bligh also heard Long Zhan's words, and thought of being hung in mid-air by a rope and leaving from the heads of hundreds of armed militiamen.

Even if the two of them were mentally strong enough, they both smiled helplessly and shook their heads.

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no other way now, and it was an advantage that it was dark at night, the two of them would definitely not want to be living targets if they were killed.

Just when Long Zhan and Sonny were teasing each other, the Super 63 pilot had already reported the retreat method proposed by Long Zhan to the Operations Center.

None of the officers who were able to participate in this operation were parallel importers who climbed up through connections.

Both Garrison and Harrell know that the HRST retreat strategy proposed by Long Zhan is currently the only feasible solution.

Since it is the only one, there is no choice.

No matter how dangerous this retreat method is, General Garrison can only agree to this retreat method, but he made a special trip to explain a word.

That is to protect Aidid.

"Suit 64, the joint command center has approved your HRST. In 2 minutes, I will hover to the roof and drop the rope. Please be prepared to evacuate to ensure the safety of the suspects."

The pilot received Garrison's order and immediately began to prepare for the retreat.

"receive."

Long Zhan responded in place of Sonny, and then called out to everyone in the team: "Guys, get ready to go home, gather on the rooftop within 2 minutes."
