It approached the physical limits of the helicopter and its operators. If an accident happened midway, both the pilot and the helicopter would be buried in the depths of the snowy mountains. Even their skeletons would not be found.
How would the Army Aviation soldier know that their target in recent years was brought up by a member of the special forces who happened to be right in front of him? At this moment, he only felt that this brother knew their Army Aviation Regiment so well.
The snowstorm seemed to have gotten even heavier. The helicopter pa.s.sed through the snow clouds like a leaf floating in the ocean. It could crash into an unknown mountain at any moment.
The pilot did not remind everyone to put on their seat belts again. He focused all his attention on flying the helicopter, staring intently at the white expanse in front of him. Beside him, the co-pilot used a three-dimensional map to guide the captain. They flew past one dangerous path after another.
Fortunately, none of them had motion sickness. As navy soldiers, Li Jinnian and the rest were already used to the turbulence on the sea. As for the special forces of the Xueyu unit, they could even pilot a fighter jet and complete a few large turns before operating the aircraft steadily.
As for Ye Jian, although she didn’t go through systematic anti-circulation training like them, she had been tested before she went under Li Jinnian’s command. The b.u.mpy ride wasn’t uncomfortable for her.
The helicopter in the snowstorm had long lost contact with the ground navigation command center. Even the satellite system could not lock onto its movements. Even so, no one in the ground navigation command center panicked because of this.
“Continue the search for Black-20. Contact Black-24, 25, 29, and the others to take off after the blizzard. Contact the Poulan Border. We’ll postpone the landing today.”
The regimental commander of Army Aviation ordered. The regimental commander, who was deprived of oxygen and whose lips had turned purple, stared at the radar system. However, the signal waves that were swept out still did not track the missing Black-20 helicopter. At the same time, they did not receive any news.
A sergeant from the Army Aviation hurried over and reported.
When the regimental commander turned around to face him, he immediately reported, “Regimental Commander, we have lost contact with the cultural troupe heading to Shenxian Bay outpost to visit them! The original plan was to arrive at the military depot at one o’clock in the afternoon. The soldiers at the outpost who went to receive them did not manage to receive the cultural troupe!”
“Go look for them! Call the platoon leader over!” This was really a double whammy of bad incidents. Everything was linked! The regimental commander of Army Aviation frowned and turned to a clerk. “Give me the map!”
Everyone in the ground navigation command center instantly tensed up, and the atmosphere became especially solemn.
The cultural troupe had a total of 12 literary and artistic soldiers. Ten of them were delicate female soldiers while the other two were male soldiers!
At the same time, there was also the accompanying leader, as well as two elegant men with unknown ident.i.ties. Together with the escorting soldiers, they had lost contact with all 20 of them!
The map was spread out and the regimental commander leader glanced at the pencil the clerk handed him. He pointed at the first landing point of Black-24 and slowly drew the route to the Shenxian Bay outpost. He frowned and pursed his lips. Then, he raised his head and ordered in a deep voice, “Contact the Black-24 crew immediately and ask for reinforcements from the army!”
When the army arrived at the plateau to train, they would be able to cross the valley and enter the frozen river to follow the route of the cultural troupe. They would be able to act even more timely than any outpost’s soldiers!
“Regimental Commander, the Black-20 has sent a message. They have already flown over the Aurora Canyon..” The soldiers who were monitoring the radar system received the signal and immediately reported the latest news to their regimental commander.
