As he pulled the trigger, a mist of water had formed.

However, he was still a step too late. The shadow jumped out of the white mist, holding a diving knife in his hand, and swam behind Kochakin, and then severed the air tube on the back of his head.

Suddenly, a burst of air bubbles flew out.

Kochakin reacted and felt very lucky.

Because, the trachea cut off by the other party is the outlet pipe.

Due to the circulating air supply system on his back, it is necessary to collect the exhaust gas he exhaled, and then use it after filtering. Therefore, unlike the frogman equipment that spits air bubbles, he has two air pipes, one for air intake and one for air intake. Outlet, cut off, is the outlet pipe.

Therefore, he will not immediately suffocate due to lack of oxygen, and he does not need to float too fast to cause himself decompression sickness.He only has time!

Korchagin dropped his cumbersome underwater rifle.This is like a fight between a man with a spear and a man with a dagger. When the distance is far away, the spear has the upper hand, and when the distance is closer, the dagger has the upper hand. An inch is short and an inch is dangerous.

No matter how awesome the equipment is, it's the same, if you cut off the trachea, it's up to you not to die!Henry swam down to the side, and he saw that there was an upright rock under the water next to him, which could cover his body and protect him from being shot by those underwater weapons until the opponent got closer , and then kill them by surprise!

Unfortunately, as soon as Henry turned his head, he felt a huge force coming from behind, and then his neck was pinched from behind, and the respirator in his mouth had been pulled out!

Oops, that guy actually still has fighting power!He regretted his carelessness just now, in this kind of battle, one mistake, there is only one ending: death!

The respirator was pulled out from his mouth. Henry held his breath and turned his head, hoping to take his respirator back again. Under water, this is the basis of frogmen's survival.

Chapter 648 Dongfeng-3 Base

Henry moved very slowly, because intense movements meant more oxygen was needed, and he couldn't hold on for too long.

Kochakin took off the device on his mouth, took a breath of the other party's oxygen, and immediately felt much better. Although the device on his back was also working normally, the air he just exhaled could not be sent back inside to re- Filtration, he's already starting to feel a little uncomfortable.

The other party was struggling, trying to regain the respirator, but Kochakin would naturally not let the other party succeed.He only needs time, and if he delays the opponent for tens of seconds, he will win.

Henry felt that his lungs were starting to be stuffy. With all his might, he cut the diving knife in his hand towards his trachea. Although the respirator was snatched away by the opponent, the oxygen cylinder was still on his back. He was already ready to perish together. Anyway, without oxygen, he would suffocate to death in a short time.

Henry's hand had already reached the trachea, but at this moment, he felt that he couldn't move it any longer, because there were two more people around him.

Kochakin's comrades arrived at the last moment. They saw the current situation and knew that Kochakin was in the most dangerous situation. One of them stopped the opponent's action with a strong hand, and the other started Untie the other party's strap carrying the oxygen cylinder.

Henry felt that he was not reconciled, it was as if three hooligans were robbing him of his life, but he was powerless to resist, his eyelids began to sink, his chest was already hot, and he felt his oxygen tank slipping After getting off his body, his last hope of survival has disappeared. Instinctively, he took a breath through his nose, but the result was that the diving goggles were stuck tighter. As soon as he opened his mouth, a big mouthful of sea water poured into his body. came in.

Kochakin put the opponent's oxygen cylinder on his back and removed the original device. He didn't feel any guilt. This was a life-and-death battle.

After taking a few mouthfuls of oxygen, the three of them suddenly stared straight at the protruding thing below, which looked very much like the vertical tail of an airplane!

They quickly swam over, and their excitement enveloped them. This is a large aircraft with a slender body. The engines are on the wings on both sides. There are two huge vertical fins at the rear. The cockpit in front is already empty. , the pilot has already fired and flew away.

This plane was different from any plane they had ever seen. Although it didn't have any special markings, they knew that this was the target they were looking for, the American SR-71 reconnaissance plane!

...... Great eastern country, central region.

Lush trees, undulating mountains, gurgling water, the scenery here is picturesque.

However, the scenery here did not attract the people in the convoy. Although the scenery outside was much better than the desert they saw in their own country, they had no intention of admiring the pleasant scenery outside the window, and some of them were resting with their eyes closed. , some were talking in low voices, and some were flipping through relevant materials.

Although this convoy is low-key, it is heavily guarded. There are no police vehicles to clear the way, but they use the army's wheeled armored vehicles. The surrounding villagers have long been used to this kind of equipment.They only know that a few years ago, a large number of military personnel started construction in the nearby mountains, and then those mountains were put under martial law. They knew that there might be secrets of the Republic there.

The base in the mountains is also a bit special today, because the superior has issued an order that a special team will come here for inspection today.

Who is it?The soldiers didn't know, but they knew that anyone who came here to inspect must be a big shot, because here they are the secret of the motherland, they are the backbone of the Republic, the Second Artillery!

The guard of honor has been standing at the door for half an hour. Although it is summer, it is already a little cold here. Wearing summer military uniforms, they don't feel the cold at all. Their hearts are hot.

As the convoy approached, the guard of honor played welcome music.

The car stopped, the door opened, and a person stepped out from inside.

The military band was still playing, and the guard of honor still maintained a straight body, but they were all looking at the people getting off the car from the corner of their eyes.

Because those are not yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese, those are all bearded Middle Easterners!

Although they know that during the Iran-Iraq War, both Iran and Iraq ordered a large number of weapons from China, but the weapons of their troops have never been exported.

Now, these bearded men have come to China and their missile force. Could it be that their big killers are also exported?

The soldiers muttered in their hearts, but under strict discipline, they maintained a normal posture, with their heads held high, ready to accept the inspection.

Because, the man in military uniform who got out of the car afterward, the five stars on his shoulders meant that he was a lieutenant general!

Accompanied by a lieutenant general and a group of bearded foreigners, the identity of the visitors this time is definitely not simple!

In the missile force, due to strict secrecy regulations, they live a life almost isolated from the outside world. Therefore, despite strict orders from their superiors, they will still find various topics to talk about during their breaks, such as, Now the identities of these people will definitely make them discuss for several days.

A hale and hearty bearded man, accompanied by the lieutenant general, walked across the red carpet and inspected the guard of honor.

"Your Excellency, we will show you the training of our missile force later on," the lieutenant general said.

"Thank you very much," said the bearded man in the lead, "It really opened my eyes to come to this base this time. The quality of your army is absolutely top-notch!"

"Your Excellency has praised you." The lieutenant general said.

The bearded man came to another car with great interest, and they will enter the cave with an unknown depth through the opened door.

The bearded man turned his head, and the sun shone on his sharp-edged face. If anyone from the Middle East saw it, he would probably be shocked, because this person is the Minister of Defense of Saudi Arabia, Prince Sultan!

Following him were carefully selected personnel from the Middle East, among whom, in addition to the Saudis, there were also several Iraqis.

"Your Excellency, you are the first foreigner to come to our base." The lieutenant general led Prince Sultan into the cave and said.

"Really? I am very honored." Prince Sultan said, seeing the huge thing.

This is a very "conventional" missile, with a cylindrical body, the same thickness as the front and back, and a pointed top. At the tail, you can see the nozzles of four engines and four wings at the tail. At this time, this missile Lying quietly on a trailer.

Suddenly, the police siren rang in the base, and officers and soldiers who appeared out of nowhere rushed to the Hongyan CQ260 at the front of the trailer, which was the main military vehicle of the Second Artillery Corps.The technology comes from the GBC (6×6) off-road vehicle of Bellier Company imported from France.

This all-wheel-drive double-cab heavy truck is ready to go at this time. The personnel of the missile brigade got on the truck, started the vehicle, dragged the missile behind, and slowly drove out of the base in the cave. This is a normal operation. drill.

Prince Sultan followed the lieutenant general, sat in the jeep, and followed the convoy out of the cave.

The convoy tossed and turned on the road in the mountains, and after a few ten minutes, they arrived at a firing position more than ten miles away from the base.

Prince Sultan watched with great interest, and when he came to the launch position, the huge missile was lying quietly on the launch stand, but after that, it will show its heroic appearance!

At this time, there was no overall missile launcher. Next to the missile trailer, another vehicle drove up and placed a huge circular platform on the ground at the tail of the missile.

Then, the trailer began to stand up slowly, and the huge missile changed from a horizontal state to a vertical state, standing firmly on the launching platform behind it.

Another hanging ladder car, carrying a soldier, rose slowly. The soldier picked up the oil pipe that followed him up, and prepared to refuel the missile.

Dongfeng-3 is a liquid missile that needs to be refueled before use.
