Chapter 16 Beast Tide, the second force in another world (Part 2)
"Colonel Lin, Captain Yao, and their plane are equipped with explosives, right?"
Hearing Lin Li's question, Lin Ziming was stunned for a moment, and then replied:
"Yes, to be precise, the two AC311As we dispatched are equipped with explosives and a small amount of small weapons."
The aerospace crew of the Rabbit rescue helicopter is equipped with explosives. This is a piece of cold knowledge that is relatively poorly spread.
Of course, this configuration is limited to official rescue teams, and private rescue organizations do not have relevant permissions.
The explosives equipped by these aerospace units are mainly high-explosive time explosives.
Explosives are usually loaded in a lockbox behind the co-pilot and require authorization from the tower before they can be used.
The main purpose of the rescue crew equipped with these explosives is to clear some ultra-small barrier lakes or blocked areas that may occur in some large-scale natural emergencies.
Generally speaking, the explosive usage rate of search and rescue units in southeastern my country is 1/20,000: Still taking Shanghai as an example, the official attendance rate of Shanghai’s search and rescue units is 2 times/day (the search and rescue units may not necessarily have They will only be launched under special circumstances. In fact, they have patrol missions every day), and the number of ignitions per year is about 800.
For all the cities in the entire Southeast region combined, the total number of fires fired by search and rescue crews is about 6-8,000 times per year.
Airborne explosives may only be used once in 100,000 to 20 years, or more than ten years.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
The last record of the use of high explosives by aerospace crews in the southeastern region was during the great flood many years ago.
At that time, a search and rescue team in the eastern theater dropped several groups of explosives and conducted an emergency flood discharge in a silted area.
Due to the more mountainous areas and more complex terrain in the west, the use rate of explosives will be relatively high, but it is only 4 to 5 per 10,000, and will only be used once in several years.
A quick mention here.
Although the rabbit rescue crew's use of explosives is very low, in foreign countries - especially the Eagles, the frequency of use of explosives is actually very high.
Many mountain ranges on the Eagle side belong to the Cordillera Mountains, and the mountains are complex. Every year, there are more people trying to survive in the wilderness. People often seek death and are trapped in some places and cannot get out.
In those places, it is often difficult for rescue machinery to enter, and the labor cost of eagles is notoriously high.
Therefore, when encountering some road blocking conditions, the Eagle rescue team will often directly use explosives - with a bang, the road is opened and people are lifted into the sky.
The fatality rate of the rabbits' explosives is infinitely close to 0 (after all, there is no chance of using it), while the fatality rate of the eagles is as high as 8%, and the disability rate is 26.6%.
How do you say that.
Life is free, death is random.
Ahem.
Back to business.
Except for explosives.
The small weapons on the helicopter are provided by the army to the crew before taking off.
After all, it is normal to be equipped with some firearms when performing aerial exploration missions in another world.
As a well-deserved veteran in the field of captains, Yao Rong has also received relevant training on weekdays.
He can throw explosives and shoot targets.
It's definitely not as good as going to the battlefield, but the militia level is still there.
At least he's not like those new recruits who don't even know how to pull the bolt of a gun.
All in all, Yao Rong has a certain degree of military literacy.
At this time, it was based on this military literacy that a bold plan was formed in Lin Li's mind.
However, before finalizing the plan, Lin Li still needs to confirm the wishes of Yao Rong's unit.
He pondered for a few seconds and then picked up the communicator:
"Captain Yao, please judge based on your flight experience:
Under the current circumstances, if the helicopter drops to an altitude of 500 meters and drops timed explosives at the phalanx of alien beasts, will it threaten your lives? "
In the cockpit, Yao Rong raised his thick eyebrows, and instantly understood what Lin Li meant - the alien beasts were approaching the city, and the headquarters was in urgent need of all aspects of information about these alien beasts.
Using explosives to test whether thermal weapons can break defenses against these strange beasts is the crudest and simplest method.
As long as it is proven that thermal weapons can cause damage to alien beasts, the base camp's next decision will be much easier.
In addition, there is no other air fire support at this moment, and ground troops must not be dispatched hastily when the situation is unknown. The trajectory of missiles with a range of more than ten kilometers is still being recalculated.
If you wait for the alien beasts to approach the city before launching short-range missiles, it will easily expose the presence of the rabbits.
So after eliminating all possibilities, Yao Rong's AC311A is not very suitable, but it is the only choice.
But as a civilian light aircraft, there are certain risks in throwing explosives - it is impossible to say that if the explosives are thrown down, the helicopter will twist and run away. This is not a competition between naughty children who can blow up a shithole and run faster.
After the bomb was dropped, Yao Rong's crew had to observe and record the damage to the alien beasts in the explosion.
And considering obstacles such as smoke, the helicopter cannot fly too high.
There are obviously extraordinary individuals among the strange beasts below, and performing this task is almost like dancing to the Pure Land on the tip of a knife.
"."
In an instant, Yao Rong thought of a lot.
His eyes were complicated at first, and then gradually became firm:
“Captain Lin, I’m not sure whether his life is in danger.
But as a member of the Fire Team, as a D member, I applied for my crew to release the explosives. "
The headquarters suddenly fell into silence.
After a few seconds, Lin Li slowly spoke:
"Captain Yao, you may not understand what I mean, but I am not forcing you to accept this mission.
You have the right to choose to refuse execution. There is a high possibility that those leader-level beasts have air defense capabilities. You..."
Before he finished speaking, Yao Rong's firm reply came from the unique hiss of wireless communication: "Command, repeat, this is crew 8633, I apply for explosives dropping."
Lin Li's Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Then he opened his eyes and waved his hand to Bu Binghui: "Authorize!"
Soon, an authorization code was sent to Yao Rong.
Yao Rong glanced at this string of code, put it aside gently, and then looked ahead:
"Lao Yu, I just observed this area. The top of the mountain to the west is a high-quality natural landing pad. I will put you there later. You have a locator in your hand. If something happens to me, the camp will be found soon. you."
The tone of Yao Rong's words was as calm as if they were talking about family matters. Yu Guanghui was stunned for a full two seconds before he realized that Yao Rong was talking to him, and immediately his face turned red:
"Wori, what the hell are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who is afraid of death? I just said, why did you express your opinion without asking me for my opinion? Is this what your plan is?"
Yao Rong didn't expect his partner's reaction to be so violent, so he quickly explained: "You have a wife and children at home, I just want to..."
"You also have a wife and kids! Two fucking kids!"
Yu Guanghui shouted, with anger in his eyes, and his index finger poked his chest hard: "Ah? I, Lao Yu, Yu Guanghui, in your eyes, am the kind of person who is afraid of death? So unconscious? I or you? Here’s the introducer of D!”
As Yu Guanghui spoke, he spat fiercely on the ground: "Be afraid of Qiu!"
Seeing this, Yao Rong smiled bitterly and said no more.
Being familiar with his partner's character, he knew that Yu Guanghui would never change his mind at this moment: "Okay, let's do it together, Lao Yu, prepare explosives!"
Six minutes later, a bundle of high-explosive time explosives was debugged.
Yao Rong controlled the machine body, and the height slowly dropped to about 500 meters above the ground.
The height of the random machine dropped, and the roar of the machine quickly attracted the attention of the phalanx of alien beasts on the ground.
The leader, a giant scaly snake, roared sharply, raised its upper body high, and stared warily at the helicopter hovering above.
As if they had received an order, the other beasts stopped and raised their heads and roared crazily at the helicopter.
The formation of all beasts roaring in unison is really astonishing. Countless mouths were aimed at the helicopter. If the altitude dropped further, Yao Rong and Yao Rong would probably be suffocated to death by their bad breath.
"Three, two, one, let go!"
As Yao Rong counted down, Yu Guanghui quickly pressed the switch of the timed explosive and then threw it out with force.
The weight of the timed high explosive is about five kilograms, which is roughly equivalent to 15 attack grenades with a maximum charge of 50 grams.
For an explosive of this weight, the radius of the shock wave is about 18 meters, and the lethal radius is between 0-6 meters.
for buildings.
A distance of 2-3 meters from the explosion center can completely destroy 200mm thick concrete. A distance of 5-6 meters can cause most of the 1.5-story brick wall to collapse, the 2-story thick brick wall to collapse, and the tile roof to collapse.
It can be said that the blasting power of this kind of explosive will be much reduced when it is six meters away. Sometimes the glass cannot be shattered when it is 20 meters away.
This is not difficult to understand. After all, it is a blasting explosive used for rescue. Its power is mainly concentrated in the center of the explosion and will not escape too much.
But for the phalanx of alien beasts on the ground, this kind of explosive is enough to achieve some results.
I saw the explosives falling rapidly from a high altitude, and accidentally hit the leading snake!
"boom--"
The explosives exploded among the alien beasts, kicking up clouds of dust.
There was some chaos in the alien beast phalanx, but surprisingly, this small chaos only lasted for more than ten seconds before being controlled.
Not to mention the tragedy that spread into a stampede, it didn't even reach a range of fifty meters.
This is not good news.
After a while, the dust dispersed.
In the center of the explosive explosion, about two or three giant black snakes were blown to pieces, and there were several strange beasts around them who were also injured and whining.
But the leading 20-meter giant snake seemed to be unscathed.
"No, it's bleeding!"
Yu Guanghui suddenly shouted loudly. He quickly pressed a few buttons on the console, controlled the helicopter's external camera, and locked the lens tightly on the giant snake's head:
"There is a wound of about 20 centimeters on the giant snake's lower jaw. The blood is purple and the bones are visible! The explosive has broken through!"
Just when Yu Guanghui focused all his strength on the giant snake's wound, the giant snake's eyes showed a very human look of hatred.
He neighed and opened his mouth, as if he was brewing something.
Yao Rong was shocked, and guided by his flying instinct, he pulled the joystick upwards.
The next second.
I saw a stream of green flames spurting out from the giant snake's mouth, heading straight for the machine!
