Chapter 1290: Mercenary battlefield

"How is the team's condition?" Silver Wolf asked Lin Rui who walked out of the room.
"No problem. It's just that I'm a little worried about Boss Long. Most of the team members don't know his actual situation. It's reasonable to be worried." Lin Rui whispered.
"Leave the team to you, and I will take care of the rest." Silver Wolf patted his shoulder. "I just didn't expect you to re-task so quickly, but there is no way. This task is too important. Zhao Jianfei is responsible for the defense of Mr. Long. Group B and Group C are rebuilding again, so you can only let you Take the heavy responsibility."
"I understand." Lin Rui nodded.
Two helicopters landed on the helipad on the roof of the hospital, but not the rescue helicopter from the hospital, but two camouflage military helicopters. Several heavily armed U.S. troops walked down, called on the intercom, and ran over to open the door on the roof top.
"Hurry up, guys, the helicopter did not turn off. We only have ten minutes. According to the mission requirements, we must send you to the nearest air base on time." The American soldier shouted at the lazy mercenaries.
"Special aviation regiment? The third battalion, hehe." Crazy Horse looked at the armband on the American soldier and sneered twice with disdain.
The 3rd combat battalion of the 160th Special Aviation Regiment is deployed at the Hunter Army Air Force Base in Georgia. The main task of the battalion is to coordinate with the US Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment for rapid combat deployment and combat needs. The f and g companies are stationed at the Lewisburg base near Washington. Since the predecessors of these two companies have some National Guard backgrounds, they are also engaged in carrying out some homeland security operations in cooperation with the National Guard.
The genuine army special forces personnel like Crazy Horse absolutely despise the National Guard, which is similar to the militia, so they laugh at them.
"Okay, go crazy right away and talk about it." Lin Rui pushed him a bit to prevent him from talking nonsense with these US soldiers.
After boarding the plane, the American soldier looked at them and said to him, "We are short on time. In an hour, we will land at the Lewisburg base. There, you will take a transport plane to the target area. Do you have any questions? "
"A little bit." Sergey raised his hand and murmured, "Are there free drinks on this flight? I mean vodka or whiskey." The other mercenaries also laughed.
"It's not funny, brother." The American soldier said sternly, "Hey, take the cigarette out of your hand, are you trying to provoke me?"
Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, young man. You are not his brother, and you would not want to be his brother. He is a Russian. Besides, he is provocative by anyone. Don't give him alcohol, because When a Russian guy gets drunk, you can't stop this guy from provoking anyone."
"Oh, boss, it's too cruel for you to say that. I'm working for the Pentagon now, can't I enjoy labor rights?" Sergey joked.
"That's right, we have the right to claim welfare benefits, and we cannot restrict our freedom to smoke outside of work. That is our right." Snake Eye shrugged with the smoke in his mouth.
The American soldier had no choice but to turn around and whispered, "God, this is a bunch of lunatics."
"Get used to it. They are mercenaries. That's a job that only lunatics can do." Another companion whispered, "Forget it, don't worry about them. We just do our own tasks."
It was easy to send these people to the Lewisburg base, and the helicopter was also upset by them.
The Lewis-McCord joint base is located in Puget Sound, Washington State, in the Pacific Northwest. The joint base was formed by the merger of the Lewisburg Army Base and the McCord Air Force Base in the United States in January 2010.
This is a large-scale joint base stationed with a population of 200,000, including 27,000 active military personnel, 52,486 family members, 10,000 non-active civilian personnel and 120,000 retirees. The base serves as a training and mobilization center for all services. It is also the location of units such as the 1st Special Forces Group, the 75th Ranger Regiment, the 6th Gendarmerie Group, the 189th Infantry Brigade, and the 404th Army Field Support Brigade.
Its strategic location provides the air force with the ability to conduct combat and humanitarian airlifts. The c-17a Globemaster III transport aircraft can reach any location on the earth from the Lewis-McCord joint base.
After getting off the helicopter, Lin Rui and the others met a major under the leadership of these US troops. After further confirming the mission objectives, they were arranged to board the plane.
The c-17a has both strategic and tactical airlift capabilities. The size of the cargo compartment is large. According to the requirement that six trucks can be arranged in two rows in the cargo hold, the cargo hold has a width of 5.49 meters, a length of 26.82 meters and a height of 4.11 meters. Three jeeps can be side by side, and can also carry three ah-64 gunships. All kinds of vehicles transported by air can be directly driven into the cabin.
Because of this mission, Lin Rui and others must be equipped with vehicles. Therefore, such a transport aircraft with vehicle airdrop capability is very necessary.
After boarding the transport plane, a US military was responsible for guiding them.
"For this mission, we have prepared three Humvees for you as required, as well as standard weapons and equipment that can be equipped with two field platoons. There is no problem with firepower, but the defense capabilities are slightly insufficient. In Africa, where rockets are flying everywhere, You better be careful."
"So many supplies?" Lin Rui frowned as he looked at the metal boxes and the vehicles parked in the cargo hold.
"No way, given the current situation in South Sudan, and your mission. No one knows how long this search and rescue operation will last. And we will not be able to give you any form of assistance midway. These weapons and ammunition include other supplies. All must be airdropped at once." The US military major explained, "Although it is a bit too much, it is better than being alone and helpless."
"Okay." Lin Rui nodded, "That's right. But I think we'd better organize on the spot and establish a relatively concealed temporary supply point after the airborne. Store the excess supplies, and we can bring them in our car. Not so much."
"Yes." The US military major said, "In addition, after you airborne, we will cut off all direct contact with you. This is also for security and confidentiality considerations, I hope you can understand."
"I understand it too well. It means transporting us to the destination, dropping the plane, and finally relying on us to survive." Lin Rui shrugged and said, "These are old routines, there is nothing new."
The major coughed dryly, "I know this might be embarrassing, but this is our mission, to send you there and then return."
"Okay." Lin Rui waved. "Call me again when I get to the designated location. I'll sleep first."
