Chapter 1011 Sleepless Night
Viewed from a distance, a string of airdrop pods dragging tail flames crashed into the plain behind the hills, just like the hellfire in a fantasy movie, and the warriors who emerged from the steel ruins were like walking through hell. The cavalry of the gate, in the jumping sparks, harvest fresh lives one by one.
The cold wind at night was blowing loudly, and the wind under the propeller was particularly fierce. I basically had to shout to speak.
Standing at the door of the Mi-8 helicopter, letting the strong wind twist his hair into a chicken coop, Jiang Chen was holding a military telescope and looking at the tragic situation of the 11th Ukrainian Artillery Brigade a few kilometers away.
That night, at the residence of Admiral Nikolaev, Jiang Chen reached a secret agreement with Putin on behalf of Star Ring Trade. At the cost of 100 billion rubles and a fifty-year-old military base, Starlink Trading intervened in the Ukrainian civil war.
From that day on, he, accompanied by Natasha, went to the Russian-Ukrainian border and lived in a military base on the border. First he met with the provisional government of the Donetsk Republic, and then shook hands with his nominal employer, the chocolate tycoon.
This week has been very pleasant. Jiang Chen carries an SVD and takes a helicopter to the nearby mountains for hunting almost every day.
As Jiang Chen's security consultant, Natasha naturally has to follow him everywhere. Just when she was wondering if he was here for a trip, Jiang Chen suddenly made a rather excessive request.
This time I won’t go hunting in the mountains, but will go to the other side of the border to relax.
Naturally, Natasha strongly opposed being so close to the Ukrainian government forces. Only two Russians knew the battle plan of Star Ring Trade, and she was obviously not one of them. Although her mission is to fully cooperate with Jiang Chen, in her opinion, this does not include accompanying him to fool around.
However, Jiang Chen was not the kind of person to listen to advice. With the permission granted by the Russian President himself, he directly applied for this flight mission to the military base without Natasha's consent. The person in charge of the military base reported his request, and soon received an approved reply. Then a helicopter and two pilots were stationed on the apron, accompanied by four Alpha special forces.
In desperation, Natasha had no choice but to follow Jiang Chen and board the Mi-8 helicopter.
After crossing the Russian-Ukrainian border at the risk of being shot down, the Mi-8 stayed close to the edge of the forest and foothills, avoiding radar, and arrived at its current location.
Of course, the helicopter can only drive so far, and the pilot will not go any further.
This kind of artillery brigade is often equipped with anti-aircraft guns and radar vehicles. Experience told him that this place is quite close to the radar scanning radius. If you go a little further, even a blind person can spot a helicopter here.
Jiang Chen could only make do with a telescope, unable to observe the first battle of the Star Ring Trade Orbital Airborne Troopers up close.
However, experience obviously did not tell the Maozi pilot that the 11th Artillery Brigade had no chance to turn on radar targeting.
It had only been ten minutes, but the entire brigade had already been overwhelmed by this unexpected attack. Bullets were flying in the air, and the explosions flashed one after another. The Ukrainian government soldiers fought back hastily with the AKs in their hands, but they were still unable to reverse the destined war situation. They died one after another under the guns of the orbital airborne troops.
The only two armored vehicles were penetrated by individual rocket launchers without any suspense. The truck carrying the rocket launch tube was blown into iron slag by the sticky bomb. The ammunition racks piled on the ground were exploded one after another, blooming on the plain. Blossoms of orange-red broccoli.
The outcome of the 11th Artillery Brigade has been doomed, and there is nothing interesting to watch further. After sitting back in the helicopter, Jiang Chen threw the military binoculars in his hand to Natasha, who was staring blankly into the distance, and joked with a smile.
"Isn't it spectacular?"
After hurriedly catching the telescope thrown by Jiang Chen, Natasha woke up from her sluggish state, raised the telescope and looked at the battlefield in the distance.
She had never seen such a strange war.
The battle there is basically over, with only sporadic resistance and casual last-hitting remaining.
Before establishing a military base, Star Ring Trade had no conditions for taking prisoners, and had no intention of accepting surrender. As for the Geneva Convention, that thing can only restrain the regular army and has no meaning at all to them.
"That's...the airborne troops?"
"That's right." Answering Natasha's question lightly, Jiang Chen reached out and patted the pilot's backrest, "Today's flight mission is over and we can return. Hurry up, the Ukrainian plane will arrive later."
Jiang Chen didn't need to tell him, the pilot also knew it.
There was such a big commotion, and the whole Ukraine was in a state of excitement. The hatch was pulled up and the helicopter began to turn around and return.
After swallowing, Natasha put down the telescope and withdrew her sight that was stuck outside the cabin.
"Where did they... come from? Crimean military base? Or..."
"None of them," Jiang Chen shook his head, raised his eyebrows at her proudly, then raised his hand and pointed above, "They belong to the Star Ring Trade Aerospace Defense Force, the Orbital Airborne Brigade."
The faces of the Alpha special forces soldiers next to him were painted with oil green and jet black camouflage. Jiang Chen couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, but it was not difficult to guess the shock in their hearts at this moment.
After hearing Jiang Chen's reply, Natasha was slightly startled, and then whispered anxiously, "Idiot! Don't say such things casually——"
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the whole world will know tomorrow." Jiang Chen raised his arm and looked at his watch, "In about five hours, we will conduct the second round of airdrops. In this way, we will have two brigades in Ukraine Although there is still a huge disparity in number between the mercenaries of Arrow Company and the mercenaries of Arrow Company, we never win with quantity."
In addition, he did not expect to end this war in a short time.
There is an essential gap between the Ukrainian government forces and the Philippines, which determines that this war cannot replicate the victory of the Manila landing battle. This gap is not only reflected in weapons and equipment, but also in tactical thinking, organization, geopolitics and other factors.
On the other hand, the supply line of Star Ring Trade will be stretched. Although Mao Zi will help with transportation, Jiang Chen will not hand over some sensitive weapons to them with confidence. He can only transport them directly to the frontline military base by air, or directly from Airdrop from outer space.
If Arrow Company's mercenaries continue to replenish the front line from the Ukrainian-Polish border, this war is destined to become a tug-of-war.
But there was one thing Jiang Chen wasn't worried about, and that was the outcome of this war.
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, she took a breath and repeated the details of his words in an unbelievable tone.
"Two brigades? In other words, you just..."
"That's right," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Are you surprised that the entire brigade airborne?"
"I shouldn't be surprised. I should have known that the person sitting across from me was a madman." Natasha rolled her eyes and complained.
Seeing Natasha rolling her eyes, Jiang Chen grinned.
Over the past few days, he had been noticing that she was not in a high mood, and it seemed that she had been like this since she took leave to avoid the cocktail party that night. The main reason why I pulled her out tonight was to relax.
For the next hour of the flight, the two never exchanged a word. Jiang Chen leaned on his seat and closed his eyes to rest, while Natasha was digesting all the shock she had seen and felt tonight. Because it was so shocking, she even began to worry about the report she was about to write.
Directly airdropped from outer space, and an entire airborne brigade can be deployed anywhere in the world within a few hours. If this tactic can be popularized, it will undoubtedly completely change the pattern of future wars.
Whether willingly or not, tonight will be destined to be a sleepless night for everyone involved in this vortex. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
