Although Syria also belongs to the Middle East, the latitude here is similar to
that of Aurous Hill, and it is also wintertime, so it is the most rainy season in
Syria.
Thick dark clouds not only block the sun but also make the air very humid.
This is a good thing for Charlie, because if today was cloudless, then the
possibility that he wanted to parachute in during the day is almost zero.
That’s why he is confident that he can skydive closer to the opponent’s
base.
When Vasily counted to the last three, Charlie stepped forward and went
straight to the edge of the hatch. Vasily became more nervous and
shouted, “3, 2, 1, jump!”
Charlie turned around and said to a few people, “Everyone, see you in six
hours!”
After all, he jumped directly outside the cabin door without hesitation, and the
whole person jumped into the thick clouds.
As soon as Charlie jumped out of the cabin, he felt as if he was in an ice
cellar.
At an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, the temperature is a full 30 degrees Celsius lower than the surface.
The current ground temperature is about 15 degrees Celsius above zero, so the temperature around Charlie is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtabout 15 degrees below zero.
But this is nothing to him, his attention now is all focused on keeping his figure stable, so that he will not lose
control of his body in a rapid fall.
Because he was in the thick clouds at this time, he basically couldn’t see the situation below. Fortunately, he
could hear Vasily’s voice reminding: “Mr. Wade, the descending speed and direction are very stable, The clock
is about 50 meters, please keep it. It is estimated that the height of the parachute will be safely opened after
a minute and a half.”
Charlie shouted: “Okay, I get it!”
Ten seconds later, Charlie’s body finally passed through the clouds.
At this time, a small number of raindrops have begun to condense under the clouds, and it seems that rain
will form soon.
Charlie can see almost all the endless mountains below him, and the mountains in the Middle East are really what
is the scenery at all. Looking at it, it is almost yellowish, and because of the plateau, some of the tops of the
mountains are higher. There is still white snow on it.
Charlie can already vaguely see that there are relatively simple villages in the valley below him. Although they
are far away, he can still see that the houses in these villages are almost all low earth houses. The degree of
poverty is evident.
As the distance got closer and closer, Charlie could see the village, surrounded by two mountain peaks on the
east and west sides, and there is an entrance to the village in the north and south.
And at this north-south entrance and exit, there are some armored vehicles parked, as well as man-made
trenches and shooting piles. It can be seen that these two entrances and exits are the top priority of the
opposition armed defense stationed here.
In the very center of the village, there is a small circular square on which 4 helicopter gunships are parked.
In addition, above the mountain peaks on both sides, you can also see the man-made fortifications and
observation decks, and vaguely there are personnel activities in the fortifications.
Charlie had already made a quick judgment in his mind at this time. He is alone and must sneak into the other
side’s hinterland quietly, so the north and south entrances were definitely not a choice.
The most suitable entry point is the peaks on the east and west sides.
For the opposition parties stationed here, they are also very clear that the
government forces do not have the capability of large-scale airstrikes. If they
really want to attack them, the greatest possibility is to attack them by land.
There are mountains on both sides of the east and west, and there is no way
to go. Even if soldiers sneak in from here on foot, it is very difficult, not to
mention the heavy equipment.
So the government forces really want to attack, they can only enter from the
two entrances, the north, and the south.
Because of this, the opposition’s defenses on the east and west sides are
relatively weak, basically only equipped with a small number of soldiers, a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsmall number of heavy machine guns, and stinger missiles.
Sneaking in from here, Charlie is very sure that he will not be discovered, and
even if he is discovered, there will be no danger, because the anti-aircraft
ability of the heavy machine gun is very weak, not only can the bullets not hit
high, but
also is affected by the gravity force. It’s basically a parabola.
As for the Stinger missile, although this thing is very powerful, it can only lock
the aircraft itself, and cannot lock the living person, so in front of Charlie, it is
equivalent to waste!
At this moment, Vasily’s voice came in Charlie’s earphones, and he said, “Mr.
Wade, according to your current descending speed, you will have to open your
umbrella in ten seconds!”
Charlie glanced at the information on the watch. After ten seconds, the height
of the umbrella was about 500 meters. For the sake of caution, he wanted to
choose the half-mountain on the east side as the landing location, so that he
could avoid the top of the mountain directly. Defensive position, so he opened
his mouth and said: “I want to open the umbrella at a height of 200 meters.”
“Two hundred meters?!” Vasily blurted out, “Opening the umbrella at this
height, let’s not say that you will fall under the nose of the defensive position
on the top of the mountain. Your descent speed alone will not have enough
time to buffer and land. The strength that the body endures at that time is
almost equal to jumping from the height of seven or eight stories without any
protection, it will be life-threatening!”
