I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 16 It doesn't look like a courier
"Everyone, take a fifteen-minute break, then get ready to receive supplies!"

Just after noon, the 3rd Battalion of a certain combined brigade had just arrived at the Qingshan Lake position, and the battalion commander Gao Jian issued an order.

Their mission was to build temporary defensive fortifications in Qingshan Lake and guard the air defense positions in the rear.

For Gao Jian, this was considered relatively easy.

The mission time is very relaxed and the surrounding enemy situation is clearly understood.

There is basically no pressure.

They just need to receive the airdropped materials and then start construction, and their mission is complete.

"Captain, are the supplies delivered by the rear protection battalion? Should I prepare them in advance?"

"No, this time the army group is responsible for logistics support."

Gao Jian glanced at his deputy and raised his watch to correct the time.

But there was clearly more confusion on the deputy's face.

In the past, when conducting field exercises, material support was basically provided by the brigade.

This time the support is provided by the military, which sounds a bit strange.

"Why? Isn't it just a simple task of building a defensive position?"

"There is no such thing as simple on the battlefield."

Gao Jian turned around and gave a warning look before telling him what he knew.

"I heard that the higher-ups are testing a new support system. This time, the delivery of supplies will be handled by private enterprises, with joint efforts between the military and local governments."

"Fuck, when can we have dinner?"

Because it was a forced march.

The 3rd Battalion abandoned its baggage and only took a small amount of rations.

But their mission was to hold their position for three days.

When the deputy heard that the local authorities were responsible for the transportation of materials, he did not trust them from the bottom of his heart.

I thought the higher-ups were just being ridiculous. How could they allow private enterprises to distribute supplies during wartime?
Gao Jian saw through his deputy's thoughts at a glance, and his position was high and he could see further ahead.

"You know what? If we rely on soldiers like us to fight, nine lives per person is not enough."

"It all depends on the fellow villagers. Don't forget whose army we belong to..."

"Besides, I heard that the fellow villager in charge of material support this time is Shunfeng."

That’s all I have to say.

Several other soldiers sitting on the ground also joined in the conversation.

"It's a good deal. I know. It will arrive nationwide the next day. It's super fast."

"It's no use the next day. Our lunch will arrive tomorrow. Who can stand it?"

“My lunch isn’t going to have an ad for cashback for positive reviews on it, is it?”

"To be honest, it's a good thing the wind was favorable. If it was Zhongtong, I would have to go to the post station to get lunch."

"Please show me the delivery code. Ding! It has been shipped!"

Gao Jian glared at the soldiers who were struggling with murderous intent in his eyes.

It’s not that joking is not allowed.

It's just that their mentality is too lazy.

"I see you're still not tired. After you finish repairing the fortifications, will you run five kilometers?"

The noisy crowd immediately shut up.

Then he turned to look at his deputy: "No matter who is in charge of material support, we just need to do our job well."

"Command said the supplies will be delivered via airdrop."

"Old Yang, take the people to provide ground guidance."

Deputy Battalion Commander Yang Jun immediately stood up and saluted: "Understood! But... Battalion Commander, what about the airspace?"

The command's intelligence was clear.

There are no ground enemies near Qingshan Lake for the time being, so the 3rd Battalion has more room to operate.

But it’s different in heaven.

Gao Jian, a veteran of many battles, immediately understood Yang Hui's concerns.

"The air defense station has not reported the enemy's movements yet."

"And this time we have a reorganized air defense brigade."

"For the time being, it can be understood that the airspace is in our hands."

Hear this.

Yang Hui felt a little relieved.

Without air superiority, it would be tantamount to suicide for the 3rd Battalion to break out.

In modern warfare, no matter how much you jump around on the ground, it is not as satisfying as a saturation bombing.

Yang Jun was also scared by being beaten.

However, the friendly forces were very strong this time, with a fully staffed air defense brigade consisting of four self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery battalions, one medium-range surface-to-air missile battalion, and one short-range surface-to-air missile battalion.

The most important thing is the cooperation of radar units.

LLP12A fire control radar, ET90B-200 air defense command system, and LLQ03C target indication radar were all used.

For field air defense, this configuration is basically foolproof.

"No wonder the command center asked us to advance to this position. It turns out that there is a trap set up."

Gao Jian kept a stern face and said in a disappointed tone, "We can't take it lightly."

"No process in air defense operations can be missed."

"We must treat it as if air superiority is not in our hands and be prepared at all times!"

"Yes!"

Yang Jun saluted again and left the main position.

He could understand Gao Jian's cautiousness. As the chief officer, he must set a good example for his subordinates.

But Yang Jun is different. As a deputy, he is always the one who plays the good guy and has to take the soldiers' emotions into consideration.

Sometimes the string is stretched too tight and can break easily.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Yang Jun took action in advance.

He mobilized two squads, carrying individual air defense equipment, to seize positions with superior firepower.

Then he led his men to the drop area in person, found a suitable hiding place, and waited for orders to contact the command center.

Once friendly aircraft approach.

Yang Jun will use laser guidance to ensure that the supplies land accurately at the designated location.

This set of operations is ingrained in him and he will never make mistakes.

The only thing he was curious about was.

What will the scenario be like when private enterprises, especially couriers, deliver supplies?
Could it be true that two couriers jumped out of the plane as the soldiers joked?
"Deputy Battalion Officer, there's movement!"

Just when Yang Jun was distracted, a soldier suddenly reminded him.

There was a faint vibration in the air.

It was like something was cutting the airflow bit by bit.

Yang Jun was a man who had seen and experienced a lot, so he knew with just a little bit of thinking that this was the arrival of a plane carrying supplies.

"Here we come! Group One will be on guard, Group Two will guide, and the rest will be ready to receive..."

The words are not finished yet.

Yang Jun suddenly shut up. The roar in the air did not sound like that of a transport plane.

He looked up immediately before the order was given.

A dark shadow was approaching in the sky at three o'clock.

It was like a black eagle flapping its wings and soaring in the sky, with the airflow from its wings and the roar of a tiger, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"What happened to the deputy battalion commander?"

"telescope!"

Yang Jun grabbed the telescope and squatted in the grass to observe carefully.

“It’s not a transport plane!”

"What else can we use to drop supplies if not a transport plane?"

"I see, it looks a bit like a U-2."

Yang Jun is familiar with the world's military weapons and equipment, especially the main equipment of the imaginary enemy.

The plane in the telescope looks very much like the Eagle Sauce's Black Widow reconnaissance plane.

Especially the unique double tail shape.

at this time.

Gao Jian couldn't stand it anymore and opened the communication channel.

"Receiving team, report!"

"Report to the battalion commander, our unit has arrived at the receiving area and is ready to receive the troops, but we haven't seen the transport plane!"

"You must be kidding. I can hear the sound of a plane."

"That's not a transport plane. I'm observing..."

Halfway through his words, Yang Jun's voice suddenly stopped.

About a second later.

Gao Jian heard a sudden noise on the intercom.

"Shit, the wing is loaded with bullets!"

"Enemy planes are attacking, take cover immediately!"
