Chapter 77: Mid-air Airdrop

Zhang Wen finished sending off the car, then suddenly received a message over the radio.

"I'm here."

"What's wrong?"

"Hello, I am Lei Hanfei, commander of the 134th Division."

"Are you Director Zhang of Qingtianchang?"

"Yes, I am. What do you need help with?"

Zhang Wen immediately said.

This radio is currently connected to the military channel.

"Did you bring drones?"

"I need urgent support here."

"The satellite images are all fog; I can't make anything out."

Lei Hanfei said.

"Yes, send the location; I'll go right away."

Zhang Wen immediately grabbed the pilot and headed toward the Y-20 loaded with drones.

"Okay, okay, I got it."

"Give me twenty minutes; I'll be there right away."

Zhang Wen boarded the plane.

He directly tied all the drone containers to parachutes.

He also brought a few containers of supplies.

Afterwards, he took a parachute.

He told the pilot: "When the time comes, just drop the stuff at low altitude."

"No problem."

Zhang Wen then began organizing the parachutes.

Fortunately, earlier when he was with the Fierce Tiger Regiment and Zengxia working on weapons,

he had practiced special forces parachuting a few times there.

Otherwise he really wouldn't know how to handle this.

The Y-20 turned around directly, taxied, with engine boost and rocket boost.

With threefold assistance, the Y-20 successfully took off from the grass.

Zhang Wen came to the belly of the aircraft.

After adjusting all the containers,

he kept watching the position.

After receiving a message from the pilot,

Zhang Wen opened the hatch of the aircraft's belly.

He jumped out, and the containers were thrown out together.

1.

Open the parachute.

Zhang Wen opened his parachute.

And the timed parachute opening device on the containers also opened their parachutes.

At that moment, Lei Hanfei was anxiously waiting on the mountaintop.

Suddenly, a black aircraft swept across the sky.

He immediately recognized it as the latest equipment, a Y-20.

Afterwards, the aircraft dropped more than ten parachutes.

"So brave?"

Lei Hanfei couldn't help but have his pupils contract, knowing that this environment is not a dedicated training ground.

Rather, it is a mountainous area with extremely complex conditions.

"Assemble, those who have completed the rescue mission!"

Lei Hanfei immediately issued the order.

The soldiers who had finished the rescue gradually gathered before him.

"Soldiers! There are parachutes in the sky."

"Those are drones sent by the director of Qingtianchang for our use."

"I see there's still a person!"

"You must find him!"

Upon hearing the news, the soldiers immediately rushed toward the direction where the parachutes were falling.

Zhang Wen still didn't feel anything in the air.

Until he entered the valley.

Only then did he feel how complex the air currents here were.

The containers were somewhat better, after all they are heavy and the parachutes are large, so they are not as easily affected.

But Zhang Wen was different, being blown around by the wind everywhere.

Descending, descending.

With a rustle of leaves.

Zhang Wen knew his reputation was probably ruined.

He saw the parachute tangled in the branches.

He was hanging in midair by the parachute cords.

"Anyone there?"

"Anyone there?"

A shout shattered the mountain's peace.

Birds in the trees fluttered wildly.

"I'm here!"

Zhang Wen didn't dare cut the rope with the small knife he carried, as there was still some distance to the ground.

The two little warriors heard the shout and immediately ran over.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment."

The two little warriors gazed at Zhang Wen's position.

Let him wait a moment.

"All right!"

"Good!"

Zhang Wen then drew his small knife and cut the parachute cord in one stroke.

Thud.

The two little warriors caught Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen stood there, gasping for breath.

"All right. Take me to see your commander."

The two little warriors immediately led the way.

After walking a short distance up the mountain trail, Zhang Wen finally saw Lei Hanfei.

"Hello, I am Zhang Wen, director of Qingtianchang."

Lei Hanfei glared.

"Did you come here on your own?"

"So dangerous!"

"Well, if I hadn't come, you wouldn't know how to use it—how could you rescue anyone?"

Zhang Wen said to him.

"Fine, fine."

Lei Hanfei said resentfully.

"Have you found the container? I remember installing smoke devices on top of the containers; they should still be easy to find."

Zhang Wen asked.

"Found it; it's right down the mountain."

"Good." Zhang Wen said, exhaling in relief.

"Then just have them bring the contents up."

Zhang Wen said.

"Good."

Lei Hanfei then immediately ordered the soldiers.

Afterward, a line of little warriors carried the container's contents up.

Zhang Wen picked up a drone.

"This is a drone; turn on the switch here."

"Then this is the controller."

"Forward, backward, left, right, ascend, descend."

"The controls are very simple."

"I've upgraded the drone recently."

"It can transmit video directly to the controller's display."

Zhang Wen explained to them.

"These drones have also been reinforced."

"You can do it like this."

Zhang Wen grabbed a rope and hung himself from the drone.

Then he moved the controller.

He saw the drone take off straight away, pulling Zhang Wen up with it.

After demonstrating once, Zhang Wen set the drone down on the ground.

"Still, I don't recommend using it this way; in an emergency it can be used as a makeshift solution."

PS: In reality, definitely don't take this seriously.

Lei Hanfei said: "Okay, I understand."

Next, he had the soldiers start familiarizing themselves with the drone.

"This thing isn't cheap, is it?!"

Among the troops, a young soldier said.

"Just looking at them, they're not cheap—how many flying ones could be affordable?"

"Then I dare not touch it."

"I'm afraid I'll break it."

The young soldier said to the person beside him.

At that moment.

Zhang Wen opened the drone.

He began following the directions given by the rescued elderly men and women.

He began searching for other villages.

After a period of searching, Zhang Wen successively discovered ten nearby villages.

He immediately told Lei Hanfei the specific locations.

After listening, Lei Hanfei watched them gradually become familiar with operating the drone.

Then he said.

"There are ten villages nearby."

"Now split into ten groups."

"Let's begin."

Lei Hanfei said.

Upon hearing this, the young soldiers quickly split into ten groups.

But they did not use the drones in their own hands.

Zhang Wen saw this scene.

"Before each group moves forward, you must use the drone to scout ahead."

"This thing is cheap; I'm providing it to you for free."

"Don't be reluctant to use it."

"Use it when it's needed."

"I made this thing myself; the factory is also mine, so it's essentially free."

"Don't think about anything else; saving lives is urgent."

"If you encounter an impassable spot, temporarily use the drone to carry them across."

Zhang Wen instructed.

He knew that at this time the soldiers had not yet formed the concept that people are more valuable than equipment.

Some pilots even sacrificed themselves to save an aircraft.

He had said this in advance, otherwise he feared the young soldiers would lose their lives over a drone.

After Zhang Wen finished his instructions, the soldiers picked up their drones and began to fly.

"I really worry about them."

After Zhang Wen said that.

He immediately rushed to the various supplies that the soldiers had brought back from the container.

He distributed them together with the military medic to the surrounding people.

In the jungle.
