Chapter 285: The Middle East Wants Security (Part 1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Africa.

Among a medical team from the United Nations humanitarian aid was a medical team from China.

Normally, medical teams were rarely threatened. Not to mention protection, even in wars or other conflicts, medical personnel were not targeted.

But, there were too many fools in the world.

You could never predict the thought processes of some people.

At that time, the Chinese medical team was surrounded by a tribal armed group, and the soldiers protecting the medical team were engaged in a firefight with them.

The tribal armed forces were numerous, but their shooting was terrible.

The Chinese had fewer people, just one squad, and the only ammunition they had was whatever they carried on us.

So, the situation was very unfavorable.

The nearest reinforcements, limited by road conditions and distance, would take at least an hour to arrive.

As for air support, there was none.

Missiles were an option, but the distance between the two sides in the firefight was too close, which could lead to accidental injuries.

So, after learning about this situation, China was very anxious.

The military originally thought to send the Baidi fighter jets for support, as other fighter jets aren’t as fast.

But then the CHinese found out.

Upon checking the news, we discovered that Tang Rui and Han Shu were testing the orbital airborne troops.

Well, that settled it.

Send them immediately.

After Tang Rui received the message, he asked Honglian to update the data and sent the mission briefing to the special forces team members.

“Emergency order, commence rescue mission in ten minutes, this is not a drill, here is the mission briefing.”

The special forces team members in outer space became very serious after receiving the order.

As the mission briefing was displayed, they also understood what the mission entailed.

Rescue the medical team.

“Everyone, check your weapons and equipment.” The team leader immediately issued the order after reviewing the briefing.

Click, click, click…

Everyone picked up their weapons for a routine check.

After the check, everyone quietly leaned back in their seats, waiting to land.

Five minutes later, the orbital drop pod arrived over Africa and, under Honglian’s control, plunged into the atmosphere.

“Support will arrive soon, maximum five minutes. Now report your ammunition status.”

“Sir, I only have one magazine left. I gave my pistol to Professor Jiang for self-defense.”

“Sir, I have three grenades, 25 rifle bullets, a full pistol magazine, plus two extra magazines.”

“Sir…”

After fighting for more than ten minutes, everyone’s bullets were almost depleted.The source of thɪs content is (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

Originally, they didn’t bring much ammunition, only 120 rounds, a total of four magazines.

If it wasn’t for their conservative use earlier, they would have run out by now. “Datian, stay behind. Give us your rifle magazines and then retreat with Professor Jiang and others. We’ll cover.”

Datian, don’t hold back on bullets, provide suppressing fire.”

After hearing the ammunition status, the squad leader immediately issued orders.

Four full magazines were handed to the squad leader and Datian, then everyone fired simultaneously, suppressing the enemy.

Then the two of them covered while a few retreated to protect Professor Jiang.

With their full firepower, the two, using the advantage of cover and height, suppressed the attack of more than two hundred people, preventing anyone from advancing.

It s good that this was happening in a forest.

If it were in the open, it would have been difficult.

“Squad leader, look.”

At that moment, Datian suddenly shouted.

The squad leader followed suit and looked.

The orbital drop pod was descending towards its position.

It wasn’t just the two of them, but everyone around the battlefield saw the orbital drop pod.

“Shoot it down with RPGs.”

The leader of the tribal armed forces ordered, pointing at the orbital drop pod.

They didn’t use RPGs on people because they were afraid of injuring the doctors. After all, they had the numerical advantage, and the other side had no support, so they weren’t in a hurry.

But now, this thing suddenly appeared in the sky.

It definitely wasn’t sent by their tribe for support.

So, just shoot it down.

A group of tribal soldiers picked up their guns and shot at the orbital drop pod.

They couldn’t hit a person, but they could hit such a big thing.

Countless bullets were fired towards the orbital drop pod.

But half a meter from the pod, all the bullets were deflected upwards.

Although bullets hit it, it wouldn’t cause any damage to the alloy steel plate on the surface, but scratches would look bad.

Whiz!

Whiz whiz!

At that moment, three RPG rockets were fired at the orbital drop pod.

At the same time, the doors on both sides of the drop pod opened.

The next moment, the three RPG rockets were also deflected by the electromagnetic deflection shield, flying towards the upper diagonals of the sky.

Seeing this, the tribal armed forces below were stunned.

It was about to hit.

Why were they suddenly deflected?

They couldn’t understand this situation no matter how hard they thought.

While the tribal armed forces were dazed, the doors of the pod were fully opened, and ropes dropped from above.

”13 meters above ground, rappel from the pod.”

Due to the terrain, the orbital drop pod couldn’t land on the ground, but this had been anticipated during its design.

Letting them parachute would be unfamiliar to them.

But rappelling was very simple.

All the special forces soldiers grabbed the ropes and jumped down.

Rappelling in powered armor didn’t require legs and feet, just one hand on the rope.

The descent was rapid indeed.

Bang bang bang…

In less than two seconds, twelve members of the special forces team landed on the ground..
