Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 853: Air Reconnaissance
According to the original plan, after arriving in the Strait of Malacca for the first time, it will enter the first-level defense HD deployment. During this period, the special warfare unit will enter the combat positions of the ship for vigilance.

The sniper support team as the entire special operations team will also send a double sniper team to board the Shanghai Zhi 9C carrier-based aircraft and fly over the formation to search and serve as a guard.

During this period, the entire special warfare unit will conduct a weapon test. The so-called weapon test is to shoot at sea targets, and conduct a drill in combination with subjects such as simulating cable drop merchant ships and VBSS.

After all, this is a sea area close to the equator, and the climate conditions are different from those in the coastal waters of your own country. When you arrive here, you must inspect and test the weapons to ensure their normal use.

In fact, whether it is a gun or a cannon, it will rust if it is not used. Frequent shooting, frequent cleaning, and frequent maintenance are the best ways to treat weapons.

The head of the formation attaches great importance to this exercise. After all, the level of the special warfare unit that departs with the ship depends not only on its performance in the training base for a month before, but now it is on the real ocean. Forget it, pull it out.

The most eye-catching part of the entire security exercise was the special warfare unit. The commander and deputy commander had entered the combat command room of the No. 1 ship with a group of officers and officers, and watched the entire exercise through various surveillance cameras and helmet cameras.

"Li Zheng, Hou Jun, the two of you will serve as the helicopter sniper team, Qiang Yong, you will lead the first team to guard and defend the ship, and Wang Haiyang, you will lead the second team to use rubber boats to board the ship and carry out the search..."

After a series of orders, I suddenly heard a thunder above my head.

Everyone looked up and saw that the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

It was just cloudy before, but I didn't expect the weather here to change so quickly. It seems that there will be a heavy rain at sea soon.

The difficulty factor of launching and executing VBSS under rainy conditions will be several times that of normal weather.

Moreover, this is an unfamiliar sea area. Although there are data left by the previous escort formations for reference, the actual sea conditions and weather conditions cannot be exactly the same. This not only tests the courage of the drill commander, but also tests the strength of the three ships. The height of the technical and tactical level of officers and soldiers.

Since the superior didn't call to stop, it means that even if there is a knife in the sky, there will be a knife.

Li Zheng didn't talk too much, and ran to the helicopter deck of the No. 2 ship with Hou Jun.

At this time, a Haizhi 9C was already parked on the helicopter deck, and two pilots and a chief engineer were already busy making preparations for takeoff.

After boarding the plane with a sniper rifle, the chief driver turned his head and glanced at Li Zheng and Hou Jun, and smiled: "The weather is bad, take it easy later, and don't fall."

Li Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry! If I can fall without the enemy's attack, I will be a soldier for nothing in the past few years!"

After boarding the plane, the two quickly buckled the safety rope, and then checked the X-shaped fixed rope tied to the cabin.

It is extremely difficult to snipe targets at sea on a helicopter. Generally speaking, the kneeling or sitting posture is the most suitable, and special cases are handled in special cases.

When shooting in a kneeling or sitting position, you must rely on this X-shaped fixed cable to stabilize the gun body. The so-called fixed cable is actually crossed with a rope on both sides of the open cabin door to make an X shape. When shooting, you can Mount the barrel on top to snipe at different targets on the sea.

Today's weather is particularly bad. Zhang Jian sent Li Zheng and Hou Jun there for the sake of safety. After all, this is the first anti-piracy drill for the formation, and we can't lose the face of the Jiaolong commando in front of the formation leader.

In this drill, ship No. 3, which is the supply ship, simulated the hijacked merchant ship, while ships No. 1 and No. 2 simulated organizing troops to go out to rescue immediately after receiving the notification.

The helicopter carried special forces and reconnaissance and evidence collection personnel to take off in an emergency and approached the merchant ship for verification.

At the same time, ships No. 1 and No. 2 maneuvered at high speed to approach and encircle the hijacked merchant ship, and kept in touch with the hijacked merchant ship to obtain information about the crew and the HD on board.

After that, under the cover of airborne snipers and shipboard firepower, the special forces team quickly approached the hijacked merchant ship in a small boat, and boarded the hijacked merchant ship at the right time.

After successfully boarding the ship, two groups of special forces cross-covered and entered the interior cabin of the hijacked merchant ship to search and rescue all the hostages.

Therefore, the mission of Li Zheng and Hou Jun is very critical.

One is responsible for covering the special forces on the rubber boat to approach the merchant ship and board the ship safely, and to block the armed ships in the waters near the merchant ship that are trying to continue to approach and meet the HD on the ship.

The other is responsible for using high-power reconnaissance instruments and photographic equipment to carry out enemy reconnaissance, investigation and evidence collection on the hijacked merchant ship. After the ship is hijacked, a message is sent to the formation command room, and the command room dispatches a special warfare unit to attack and rescue.

It sounds like a simple thing.

But there are many ways to go here.

First of all, the escort, rescue, and attack on HD are actions supported by the Blue Star United Nations, but it does not mean that support can do whatever they like.

Everything has to be programmed.

Li Zheng knew this very well.

When I participated in peacekeeping in country L, many cumbersome procedures and procedures were really maddening, but I had to do so.

Otherwise, if any problems arise in the future, you don't even have evidence, and you can't justify others throwing dirty water at you.

These investigation and evidence collection and reconnaissance methods and procedures were taught by experienced instructors who served as former escort officers in the training camp one month before the escort, and they needed to be familiar with international maritime conventions and regulations. These are very rigorous and serious , can be regarded as a high demand.

"The No. 2 carrier-based aircraft can take off. The mission: conduct aerial reconnaissance on the merchant ship calling for help and investigate and collect evidence."

The command of the formation command center was quickly issued to the Haizhi 9C carrier-based aircraft.

The pilot turned on the microphone and replied skillfully: "The No. 2 carrier-based aircraft has received it and is now taking off. Repeat the task: conduct aerial reconnaissance on the distressed merchant ship and collect evidence."

The propellers began to accelerate gradually, and the helicopter fuselage began to shake slightly.

Taking off and landing on the deck of a ship is different from that on land. Due to the influence of the waves, the hull will shake up and down. The technical requirements for the helicopter pilot are very high. The take-off and landing must be stable, otherwise the airflow and the deck shake. Flaws in the details will cause the helicopter to lose control and crash or fall into the sea.

Li Zheng and Hou Jun are well aware of the power of this. Of course, it is not the first time for them to take off on a ship-borne helicopter. The quality of HNA pilots is quite reliable.

Soon, the helicopter flew into the sky, Li Zheng was sitting by the cabin, fastened the safety rope, and the high-precision sniper was set up, aiming at the sea.

But at the moment he has nothing to do, so he seems a little leisurely, but Hou Jun, who is an observer and scout, is very busy.

When the helicopter approached the No. 3 supply ship that simulated the kidnapped merchant ship, the helicopter pilot began to fly around skillfully, trying to control the speed and angle so that Hou Jun could observe and take pictures more clearly.

The cooperation between the pilot and the sniper team is very tacit, and this tacit understanding was trained hard in the intensive training before the escort.

Li Zheng was sitting on the floor of the cabin with a pair of sunglasses on his eyes.

It’s not that he likes to pretend to be cool. This pair of tactical sunglasses is specially issued by the commando, because there are no forests and trees on the sea, and the sunlight is very direct and very strong. The sea water is very reflective. Without the protection of sunglasses, the reflection can hurt your eyes. Shaking, let alone sniping and reconnaissance.

Hou Jun began to record the number, location, firepower, threat level, etc. of the "HD" observed through the observation device.

Li Zheng supplemented and checked him through the scope.

When it arrived, Hou Jun put down the reconnaissance instrument, picked up the reconnaissance camera, and took quick pictures of the HD personnel and weapons in their hands all over the ship.

After everything is completed, the formation command center will be sent to the formation command center through the terminal equipment carried on the aircraft.

"Command center, No. 2 carrier-based aircraft reconnaissance team confirmed that the merchant ship has been hijacked. Repeat, confirm that it has been hijacked, personnel and information have been sent, please confirm acceptance."

Soon, they had a reply in radio headsets.

"Carrier-borne aircraft No. 2, the center has received the information and is maintaining aerial reconnaissance, waiting for the next order."

　Ask for a monthly pass!
