Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 186 Thrilling Evacuation
The two Black Hawk helicopter pilots refused to conduct a SPIE evacuation.

Because it takes longer to perform a SPIE evacuation than a rappelling evacuation.

The militants are currently firing fiercely, and every second the Black Hawk helicopter delays increases the danger.

If you are unlucky and a lucky RPG rocket hits the fuselage, it is very likely to repeat the Black Hawk crash in Somalia.

But Song Heping has decided not to let his people take risks.

If we lower the rope at this time, it means that the eight people in the cabin, including myself, will have to stay here for at least an hour.

The reinforcements sent from the Warrior Battalion advanced to Point E, a few kilometers away, at night, facing obstructions from militants in the city along the way.

The situation is the same as that of the Rangers and Delta who were trapped during Black Hawk Down in Somalia.

The SPIE evacuation method can solve the problem in just a few minutes, and the risk and difficulty are similar to holding out here for an hour.

As the squad commander, he must make the right choice.

"If you don't take a SPIE evacuation, then fly back. We won't take that risk!"

Song Heping expressed his attitude to the pilot.

He wanted to make these two guys understand that it was impossible to simply leave them here and run away.

They too must make their own choices.

The two pilots were already sweating profusely at this time.

Black Hawk helicopters kept flying around.

The two Apache attack helicopters kept informing the Black Hawk on the channel about their ammunition levels and the time they could still provide fire support.

"damn it!"

The driver finally couldn't help it.

"You crazy person!"

"I'm not crazy!" Song Heping pointed to the landing point ahead and said, "Those are all highly trained Navy SEALs. They're very familiar with SPIE. Once you reach and hover above the buildings, you'll waste less than five minutes per building, and ten minutes for two buildings. Even if you rappel us down here, it'll still take five minutes. But that would put us in a difficult position, and we might all die here, along with the SEALs."

He slapped the driver's shoulder with his palm and said in a firmer tone: "Trust me, you will be right if you follow my instructions!"

The driver seemed to be possessed.

There is an unquestionable magic in Song Heping's words.

It actually made him feel that "this guy seems to be right."

"Alright! Notify the SEALs on the ground immediately and tell them to prepare for a SPIE evacuation. In one minute, I'll be hovering five meters above the building. I won't stay there for more than five minutes, and then I'll do whatever it takes to pull myself up!"

"Don't worry, leave everything to me!"

Song Heping immediately contacted Mist: "Mist, we're going to cancel the rappel and use SPIE evacuation. Gather on the rooftops immediately and prepare for evacuation. The helicopter commander will hover over each building for five minutes!"

"it is good!"

Mist is not like Vincent who always questions and despises Song Heping's proposals.

Compared to Vincent, this guy is easier to communicate with.

"I'll get everyone ready!"

After coordinating with the SEALs, Song Heping said to the pilot, "I want to talk to the two Apaches!"

The lead pilot handed the onboard radio to Song Heping.

Song Heping took the intercom and started calling: "Blackbird calling Falcon!"

"Falcon received. Please speak."

"I'm the leader of the rescue team. We've decided to use the SPIE evacuation tactic. How long will your current ammunition last?"

"Five minutes at most!"

"We'll be hovering above the building in a minute. At that time, you will launch single sorties in A-B sequence and suppress the ground militants' attacks with full firepower. This will buy us ten minutes. Can you do that?"

After a brief lull, the Apache pilot's response came from the other side.

"can do it."

"Start descending!"

Song Heping handed the intercom back to the pilot and turned back to the cabin.

"Prepare for a SPIE evacuation. Everyone, listen carefully. When the helicopter hovers, it will be only five meters from the rooftop. The distance to the ground and surrounding buildings will be very short. This will be the time when we are most vulnerable to attack. Machine gunners must open fire at full force at that time to suppress any nearby firing points. Everyone defending the 'Musician' will provide cover. Hunter, can you perform aerial sniping?"

"I'm OK!"

"What about you, Queen?!"

"That's no problem for me! The SVD is much easier to suppress enemies at medium range!"

"OK, I won't say much..."

He found a spot near the cabin and picked up his assault rifle.

At this time, the Black Hawk helicopter began to descend.

Because of the need to be fast, the dive speed also increases.

It has to be said that the US military's Black Hawk helicopter pilots do have two unique skills.

The Black Hawk helicopter dived rapidly and began to rise suddenly when it was about fifteen meters away from the roof of the building, with the nose of the aircraft raised sharply, just like a speeding car braking hard.

After a ten-meter buffer, the aircraft finally balanced and hovered.

"Hurry up!"

With the pilot behind him, the mechanic in the cabin began to drop the rope harness.

The rigging fell and hit the roof heavily.

Song Heping didn't have time to see whether Mist and others on the roof had successfully fixed the rigging, because there was already dense gunfire around them.

The militants discovered that the Black Hawk helicopter was hovering on the roof. They thought that the US military was here to demand a drop support team, so they launched a crazy attack on the aircraft.

Bullets crackled against the fuselage, and the sound of each bullet was horrifying.

Although they are mainly 7.62 caliber rifle bullets, the Black Hawk helicopter can withstand them as long as they do not hit the vital parts.

But the biggest worry is RPG rockets.

That stuff is no joke.

An armored vehicle can make a hole in you, let alone a helicopter.

Hit and crash, no doubt about it.

At this moment, sweat was oozing out of the flight helmets of the two pilots, flowing down their cheeks like streams.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" They stared anxiously at the clock on the dashboard, counting the time second by second.

five minutes.

Only five minutes...

As soon as the time limit is reached, pull up and leave immediately.

Song Heping was squatting beside the cabin. He saw an armed man holding out an RPG rocket launcher from the building next door and aiming it at this place with a sneaky look.

So he quickly turned the gun, aimed at the thief's head and pulled the trigger.

Ta-ta-

The other person disappeared through the window.

There was heavy gunfire all around.

The Gatling guns on the left and right sides of the Black Hawk helicopter began to make crazy crackling sounds. Driven by the motor, the barrels rotated wildly, pouring out bullets like a rainstorm.

Sparks flew from the surrounding buildings, and many rooms were even directly set on fire by the dense bullets from the Gatling guns. Debris was ignited and flames suddenly broke out.

Everyone opened fire at full speed, shooting at any visible and moving object around them.

Song Heping saw another person appear at the place where he had just shot down the RPG launcher operator. He picked up the rocket launcher on the ground, stuck his head out and aimed at the Black Hawk helicopter again.

Song Heping could only shoot again to send him away.

His nerves were stretched to the limit at this moment, and Song Heping felt sweat all over his body.

This felt completely different from fighting on the ground.

The advantage of sitting in a helicopter is that you can look down from a high vantage point.

The disadvantages are equally prominent. Once you get hit, you will most likely be dead.

Fortunately, the Apache helicopter cooperated very well.

The first Apache began to dive before the Black Hawk hovered, and launched a fierce attack on all enemy buildings and firing points around the Black Hawk helicopter until all the bullets and rockets were used up.

Black smoke rose from the areas plowed by the Apache's firepower, and some walls even began to collapse after being swept by it.

Song Heping saw an entire wall of one of the buildings slowly collapsing. At first, a few bricks fell off, then more and more, and finally the entire wall collapsed with a bang and hit the ground heavily.

The militants hiding under the building were immediately in trouble. Those who had no time to run were crushed to death under the pile of bricks.

"We've run out of ammunition. We're retreating first."

The first Apache pulled up its nose, and the rocket pods on the two small wing attachment points were empty, with not a single ammunition left.

They quickly gained altitude, turned in the air, and quickly headed out of the city.

"Ready! You can evacuate!"

Mist's voice finally came like the sound of nature amid the chaotic gunfire.

Song Heping looked down at the time.

More than three minutes passed.

Time is faster than expected!
"Hang them up and go pick them up at point B across the way!"

Song Heping shouted towards the cab.

The Black Hawk helicopter began to pull up, stringing up several people on the ground like candied haws and bringing them into the sky.

However, they couldn't fly too high because there were two other team members on another building about seventy meters away.

This is the time to test the Black Hawk pilot's skills.

It’s too high, and it will definitely take too much time to land again.

It’s too low, and there’s a fear that the team members hanging on the ropes might crash into the building and cause casualties.

This is a job that requires a lot of experience and skills.

After all, it is not a one-time evacuation, but everyone needs to be evacuated in two batches.

The second Apache then began to dive and opened fire on all the buildings around the roof of point B.

The cook squatted across from Song Heping, complaining as he changed his magazine: "I knew it! I knew it! This one million dollars is not easy to earn! Being a nanny for these reckless and daring guys, I knew it wouldn't be easy to make money!"

He complained while changing a new magazine.

Through the night vision goggles, Song Heping noticed that there seemed to be liquid oozing from the cook's face. He reached out and touched it, and found that it was blood.

"Chef, are you hurt?!"

"I'm not even injured!" the cook cursed. "A bullet hit the side of the cabin, and the fragments cut my face! If they had been more accurate, I'd have lost my left eye!"

It was just a scratch, Song Heping breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced down at the belly of the plane.

There are three people hanging below.

Mist tied the injured Vincent to himself.

The other team member couldn't see who it was, but he could see someone firing continuously at the ground.

The exchange of fire was very intense.

Especially when the Black Hawk helicopter approached the roof of point B, bullets fell on the helicopter fuselage like heavy rain.

The Gatling guns on both sides began to roar again.

The crackling sound gives people a very pleasant feeling, which is indescribable.

When the second Apache attack helicopter had completely used up its ammunition, the two team members on the roof of point B finally hung the noose.

"Pull up! Pull up!"

Mist yells from the ropes.

After hearing this, Song Heping also shouted into the cab: "Pull up! Evacuate!"

The Black Hawk pilot pulled the lever up suddenly, and pulled the helicopter more than 300 meters in the air. Song Heping, who was sitting in the cabin, obviously felt the lift. He held the handle on the cabin door tightly and looked down at the five SEALs hanging on the rope.

"Mister, do you have any new casualties?"

"It's all right! God bless you!"

Amid the throbbing propellers and roar of the helicopter's engine, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that they were completely safe.
