Chapter 1772: Witness Of National Strength

Before landing, the aviation soldiers on the fourth helicopter who were forced to fly away gestured with relaxed expressions.
It was a simple communication gesture. They pointed at each other and then at the scene outside. They said, “Are you afraid, brothers? We encountered a snowstorm.”
It would be a lie to say that they weren’t afraid.
However, seeing how relaxed the Army Aviation brothers were, the special forces soldiers were no longer afraid.
J5, who was in the same helicopter, laughed. He was sitting next to the Army Aviation soldier who was talking. He turned his head and whispered into his ear, “The Army Aviation brothers are here. You guys are the ones who got first place in the military training in the entire aviation army.
“In July two years ago, your regimental commander made a shocking move by piloting a new type of plane. He directly piloted the new model to patrol the new roads in the northwest highlands. From then on, he boldly opened up many new routes.
“Brother, if you ask us whether we’re afraid, of course, we are! Why wouldn’t we be? But, with you guys around, we won’t be afraid anymore.”
No matter how loud his voice was, the noise in the cabin was quite loud. Although Ye Jian didn’t hear what J5 said clearly, she knew what he said through his lips.
Li Jinnian, who also heard him clearly, had a faint smile in his eyes. He lowered his head toward Ye Jian and was about to tell her what J5 said when he noticed that the female soldier’s lips were slightly curved. He immediately understood that the female soldier knew what J5 said.
The members of the Xueyu unit seemed to be able to read lips.
The Army Aviation team soldiers who heard everything were shocked. Who was this person? How did he know the things about them so clearly?
J5’s smile deepened.
Coincidentally, when the regimental commander of Army Aviation was driving the new mechas to patrol the area, a member of the Xueyu unit was sitting beside him. It was J5.
Also, J5 knew what this regimental commander’s next target was. He also knew what the next target of the entire Army Aviation team was.
That was because this was a suggestion that he and Q King had half-jokingly proposed.
That year, in order to protect a certain satellite base station, they a.s.sa.s.sinated those foreign forces who tried to enter the territory to find the base station. In the past year, their greatest regret was that there were no helicopters patrolling the northwestern border.
Later, they hunted down a spy who had obtained information about the base station. This was the first time they came into contact with the captain of Army Aviation.
After settling the matter, he and Q King chatted with the captain of Army Aviation about the northwestern patrol. As they talked, they half-joked and half-seriously suggested to the regimental commander, “Perhaps we can transition the patrol from a solo aircraft to a multi-aircraft formation.”
They were only half-joking because they had flown helicopters before and knew how dangerous it was.
The reason why they were half-serious was that they really hoped that the Army Aviation team would be able to challenge difficult patrols.
Tianshan Mountains, the Gobi desert, the snow-capped mountains, and the boundless Kunlun mountain range… If they made the transition to multi-aircraft formation, they would have to fly through these places one by one, including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Karakoram Mountains, and so on.
The average alt.i.tude of flight was more than 5,000 meters, and the patrol time would take about 14 days, crossing through more than 10,000 kilometers. The intensity of flight would not be less than six hours a day.. Various data showed how difficult the suggestions they made were for Army Aviation.
