42: Chapter 42 Was it because of fear?

After contacting Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, Li Yi immediately extracted the third batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile from the Multiverse Arms Trading System and placed them in the valley.

At the same time, he spent 1.8 million in system funds to purchase two supporting missiles for the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile from the Multiverse Arms Trading System, placing them next to the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher equipment.

After checking that nothing was left behind, Li Yi immediately returned to Pengcheng via the teleportation function of the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

He left the subsequent matters to Lieutenant Colonel Haidari.

Upon learning the delivery location of the anti-aircraft missiles and the crash site of the F-16 Fighter Jet, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari ordered two battalions on standby in Haibai and Daraa to go to the valley mentioned by Li Yi to receive the third batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, and simultaneously ordered a battalion in Naiwa to go to the F-16 Fighter Jet crash site to collect relevant evidence and the wreckage of the F-16 Fighter Jet.

Since the F-16 Fighter Jet crash site was relatively close to Naiwa, that battalion from Naiwa arrived at the scene very quickly.

By this time, the fires caused by the F-16 Fighter Jet crash had already been extinguished, leaving behind many blackened fragments of various aircraft parts.

The largest fragment that could be found was the tail wing of the F-16 Fighter Jet, from which the model of this fighter jet could be clearly identified.

Other parts were shattered and scattered everywhere, making it impossible to piece together the outline of any single component.

After a brief search, they delineated the approximate crash area.

The battalion commander immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to start searching for the black box of the F-16 Fighter Jet, and to check whether the pilot had ejected to escape or had perished with the fighter jet.

Because the scattered wreckage was too dispersed, it was difficult for the officers and soldiers to find the black box and the pilot immediately; they could only search area by area.

This would require more time.

On the other side, the battalion in Haibai had also arrived at the placement site of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile at this time.

Upon arrival, the battalion commander immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to find the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile so they could quickly set up the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile to defend this airspace and resist any potential air strikes launched by Israel.

The Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher equipment was relatively large in size and stood out among the pile of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.

Soon, officers and soldiers arrived at the side of the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile. The battalion commander ordered them to open the various launcher equipment, load the supporting missiles into the launch rack, and simultaneously activate the ground-based radar to scan the entire airspace.

After all these operations were completed, the battalion commander saw that no Israeli fighter jets appeared on the ground-based radar detection interface, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

If this place had been discovered by Israeli fighter jets before the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile was ready for launch, he would have been unable to escape the fate of being bombed.

Fortunately, he had arrived in time; at this moment, no Israeli fighter jets had visited, allowing him to respond calmly.

The battalion commander assigned personnel to be on standby at all times in front of the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher equipment, ready to launch the anti-aircraft missile at any time, and then began arranging for the officers and soldiers to transport the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile piled on the ground.

The battalion from Daraa also arrived here, and with the concerted cooperation of officers and soldiers from two battalions, the progress of transporting the anti-aircraft missiles was much faster.

Watching the number of anti-aircraft missiles piled on the ground getting smaller and smaller, the battalion commander's nervous mood relaxed.

It wouldn't be long before they could leave here, and there would be no need to fear even if Israeli fighter jets came.

However, just at this moment, the officers and soldiers on standby at the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile reported to him, "Report, a drone has been discovered flying in our direction from the direction of Israel."

A drone? The battalion commander was a bit incredulous.

Israel only sent a drone, and they didn't even send their fighter jets?

Is it because they are afraid?

A drone had already crashed before, and now an F-16 Fighter Jet had crashed as well.

Is Israel afraid that more fighter jets will crash, so they only dare to send drones to scout the situation?

This drone was ordered to take off by Major Nokin.

After Colonel Benni was prevented by the military high command from sending Storm fighter jets to bomb, he was in no mood to care about the subsequent handling.

Major Nokin had no choice but to take over command, ordering the takeoff of a drone that flew straight toward the F-16 Fighter Jet crash area.

Seeing only a solitary drone flying in, the battalion commander was so angry he laughed.

Who does Israel think it is looking down on?

They dare to intrude again with just one drone; aren't they afraid of being shot down again?

The battalion commander did not hesitate and immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to operate the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile. The pre-launch preparations were quickly completed, and at the battalion commander's order, he immediately pressed the red launch button.

Accompanied by a "whoosh" sound appearing in the ears of the officers and soldiers, a Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile shot straight toward the drone like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Even though the drone sensed that it had been locked onto by the anti-aircraft missile, it was too late to make an effective response before it was hit by the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile, flashing its final glorious colors.

Watching the flash of light in the distance, the battalion commander already had a guess in his heart; the drone was doomed.

Looking at the ground-based radar detection interface, the red dot of the drone had already disappeared and did not appear on the screen again.

Another victory!

The battalion commander felt as if the God of War had descended upon him; he had already shot down two Israeli drones.

"With such a victory... who else is there?!"

The battalion commander's smug expression overflowed, and the officers and soldiers seeing such an expression discovered another, goofy side of the battalion commander.

The battalion commander ordered them to continue speeding up the transport of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, while he reported to Lieutenant Colonel Haidari.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we have reached the anti-aircraft missile delivery site, completed the transport work for all anti-aircraft missiles, and are preparing to return. Just now, we also used an anti-aircraft missile to shoot down an Israeli drone."

"Shot it down? So fast?" Lieutenant Colonel Haidari was a bit surprised. "Did you use the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile to shoot it down?"

"Yes. We shot it down from a long distance using only one anti-aircraft missile; it is faster and safer than shooting it down at close range using the Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missile." The battalion commander had only used the Tianlei Type I Anti-Aircraft Missile and had no way to compare it with other models.

"Good! Good!" Lieutenant Colonel Haidari exclaimed "good" twice.

"Does our battalion need to send people to the drone crash site?"

"No need, you should directly carry all the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and return to the Glass House. I will arrange for other troops to complete the drone crash collection mission," Lieutenant Colonel Haidari ordered.

The battalion commander did not dwell on it too much; no one would steal his credit, so he reported the approximate range of the drone crash to Lieutenant Colonel Haidari.

Not long after the battalion commander finished his report, all the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile had been transported, and the Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher equipment had also been packed up.

There was nothing left behind at the scene, so the battalion commander ordered the officers and soldiers to rush to the Glass House to hand over this batch of anti-aircraft missiles to the garrison at the Glass House.
