Chapter 47 Target Entebbe

Although the commotion of the passengers was quelled by the steel hammer, they were still panic-stricken. No one dared to speak loudly, and some only dared to whisper a few words in a low voice to comfort the sobbing female companion next to her. oppressive atmosphere.

After a while, seeing that everyone had almost digested the current situation, Gang Bian continued: "Thank you for your cooperation, if you have any needs, such as going to the toilet or something, you can raise your hands. I will meet your requirements. Please be careful, don't try to play tricks, your every move can't escape my eyes and ears."

Many thoughtful people suddenly changed their colors. Since the hijackers can control the entire plane silently, who can guarantee that there are no hijackers among the passengers?The way he looks at the people around him also becomes strange.

At this moment, a girl raised her hand, her face flushed, and she said timidly, "I...I want to go to the toilet!"

………………

"Razzi, come and see this plane, it has deviated from the scheduled route by almost [-] kilometers!" Zaibi pointed to the radar screen.

Zaibi is an ordinary air controller in the regional control room of the Civil Aviation Administration of Iran. His main job is to provide air traffic control services to the controlled aircraft in the control area and correct those aircraft that deviate from the normal route.

Raziqi checked the flight schedule and said, "It's okay. It should be Emirates flight QR750 from BJ to Dubai. It is estimated that the plane is on autopilot and the pilot didn't pay attention."

Raziqi turned on the communication channel and said into the microphone: "Hahbahar air control station calls qr750, Hahbahar air control station calls qr750, buddy, you have deviated from the normal flight path, please return to the normal flight path immediately , please return to the normal route immediately."

After a few seconds, there was no response from the headset. Razizi frowned, and called again: "Hahbahar air control station calls qr750, Hahbahar air control station calls qr750, please return to the normal route immediately , please return to the normal route immediately."

The qr750 still didn't respond, and flew towards the coastline in its own way.

Razizi had an ominous premonition in his heart, and said, "Zaibi, something is wrong with this plane, report it to the Aviation Administration immediately."

Ten minutes later, two MiG-10A "Fulcrum" fighter jets belonging to the Iranian Air Force took off in an emergency. When they caught up with flight QR29, the plane had already flown out of Iran's airspace and entered the airspace over the Arabian Sea.

The two MiG-29s could only escort the huge Airbus A380, one on the left and the other on the right, to send it out of the country.

Half an hour later, four Royal Saudi Air Force EF-2000 "Typhoon" fighter jets arrived after hearing the news and took over the escort mission of MiG-29A.

The cabin of the Airbus A380 has calmed down. People found that as long as they don't move around indiscriminately, the hijackers have almost no restrictions on them, and as long as there are passengers who make reasonable demands, they can basically be satisfied.

So far, the hijackers have not shown up, and the other party promised that as soon as the plane arrives at Entebbe International Airport, they will be released freely. Therefore, most people have lost their initial fear.

Especially when those people near the porthole saw fighter jets escorting them outside the plane, they screamed excitedly and waved at the fighter jets.

Some people also took out DVs, mobile phones, and cameras, and took big shots outside the porthole.

Some nervous people are even discussing that if the final result is as the hijackers said and they can leave safely, then taking this flight is definitely worth it. Not only can you feel the excitement of hijacking, but you can also enjoy The treatment of fighter jet escort is comparable to that of a head of state.

Chen Xin was a little speechless. Could it be that the hijacking incident, which was so good, would really turn into a one-day trip to Africa?

At the same time, Al Jazeera broadcast an urgent news immediately, saying that an Emirates QR750 flight from BJ to Dubai was hijacked by terrorists and was flying to the African continent. The Airbus A380 is currently in Saudi Arabia Under the monitoring of the Royal Air Force, it is estimated that the fuel on the plane can guarantee the flight time of five hours. It is still unclear the hijacker's motive and specific destination.

This news quickly made the headlines of the world's major media, especially when it was mentioned that the hijacked model was the star airliner Airbus A380, and when there were nearly 500 passengers in the plane, everyone's eyes were attracted past.

In China, this news even caused an uproar. No one expected that just a few hours after the kidnapping in Uganda, there would be such a sensational incident as hijacking.

The CCTV news channel even temporarily opened a news broadcast room to continuously report the latest developments in the hijacking incident.

………………

Inside the IL-76 transport aircraft.

Since they took off one and a half hours earlier than Emirates flight qr750, they had already entered Saudi airspace.

The captain, Colonel Xiang Yongqiang, came to the back of the cargo hold and said to the members of the special team: "Just received the news that the Djibouti airport rejected our request to land, we will go to Egypt, and then go to the dock of the 'Kunlun Mountain' The Z-8 helicopter on the landing ship will pick you up."

The No. [-] captain who led the team nodded, and said indifferently: "Understood."

Then all the members of the special team looked away again, and the cargo compartment fell into silence again.

The female doctor named Qiao Ting was typing on the individual computer, not knowing what she was doing, and turned a deaf ear to Xiang Yongqiang's words.

Xiang Yongqiang thought to himself, what a bunch of weirdos, needless to say these special forces, they looked at people as if they were dead, with almost no emotional fluctuations, even when they were eating, I didn't see them talking.

As for the female doctor, she is as virtuous as these special forces, and she doesn't pay much attention to others. After getting on the plane, she guards the strange instrument beside her like a baby, and no one will let anyone touch it.

Chang Siwei was sitting in the command post, his eyes bloodshot, smoking one cigarette after another.

From last night to now, he has only slept for less than two hours.

Due to Djibouti's refusal, the Chinese Air Force's Il-76 transport plane could only be diverted to Egypt, and it is estimated that the support arrival time will be two hours later than originally planned.

The movement of the United States also did not escape the eyes of the [***] side. The latest satellite photos an hour ago showed that the USS "George Washington" aircraft carrier battle group was less than 600 nautical miles away from the east coast of Africa. Time to meet with the "Nimitz" aircraft carrier at [-] pm.

At present, more than [-] marines of the escort fleet meet with a convoy of a Chinese-funded oil company at the border between South Sudan and Uganda.

When passing through the southern Uganda border, as long as each person pays a head fee of 50 US dollars, they can pass freely in Uganda.

Chang Siwei sighed. Compared with Europe, the United States and other countries, China's power in Africa is more concentrated in the economic field. Once this critical moment comes, the weak military power makes people very helpless.

At this time, Peng Guochen, the Minister of Intelligence, came to Chang Siwei in a hurry and said, "Chief, according to the information we just received from Saudi Arabia, the hijacked Airbus A380 is heading towards Entebbe International Airport in Uganda. , we judge that this should not be a coincidence..."

Chang Siwei was taken aback, took a deep breath and said, "You mean..."

Peng Guochen slowly uttered three words: "The war is in vain!"

........................

Chen Xin is carefully reading the information collected from the Internet about Uganda and Entebbe International Airport where the plane will land.

Uganda has a total area of ​​23.6 square kilometers.It is a landlocked country in eastern Africa, straddling the equator, bordering Kenya to the east, Tanzania and Rwanda to the south, Congo (Kinshasa) to the west, and South Sudan to the north.Most of the whole territory is located on the Central African Plateau, with many lakes and an average altitude of 1000-1200 meters. It is known as the "Plateau Water Town".The west branch of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa runs through the western border, and there are many rivers and lakes at the bottom of the valley.Between the rift belt and the eastern mountains is a wide shallow basin with many swamps.

Although Uganda is located on the equator, due to its high terrain, criss-crossing rivers, and dotted lakes, it has abundant rainfall, luxuriant plants, and spring-like seasons. Churchill once hailed it as the "Pearl of Africa".The annual average temperature is 22.3°C. October has the highest temperature with an average of 10°C; June has the lowest temperature with an average of 23.55°C.

Generally speaking, international flights land at the capital airport of the country.But Uganda is different. The capital of Uganda is called Kampala, and there is no international airport. Entebbe, a city very close to it, has an international airport.

Chen Xin is much more familiar with Entebbe Airport than Uganda, where the famous hostage incident at Entebbe Airport took place.

On the night of June 1976, 6, 27 terrorists from the Palestine Liberation Organization and the German Red Army hijacked an Air France flight and landed at Entebbe International Airport in Uganda.At first a total of 10 passengers were hijacked, then the terrorists released all non-Jewish passengers, 248 Jewish passengers and 105 captain were still hijacked.

The terrorists demanded the release of 40 Palestinians held in Israel and 13 other suspected terrorists detained in Kenya, France, Switzerland and Germany.The Israeli government apparently accepted the demands of the terrorists, but in fact decided to use force to rescue the remaining hostages. On July 1976, 7, about 4 Israeli commandos took four Israeli Air Force C-100 transport planes, disguised as civil aviation planes, flew 4 kilometers long-distance, landed secretly at Entebbe International Airport, and launched a surprise attack.After 130 minutes of intense fighting, seven hijackers were killed. Three of the 4000 hostages died, one was subsequently killed, and the remaining 30 hostages were rescued.

The Israeli special forces passed through the airspace of several hostile countries, raided more than 4800 kilometers, and successfully rescued 102 hostages; the commandos killed 1 and injured 3; all weapons and equipment, including planes and cars, were brought back; 10 of the 7 terrorists One person was killed and 3 escaped; about 45 guards at Entebbe Airport were killed, and 11 MiG fighters and airport command communications, navigation and other facilities were blown up.In this operation, the decisiveness of the command and decision-making, the carefulness of the rescue plan, the swiftness of the assault operation, and the glory of the final victory are all classics.

The Israeli military also called this operation Operation Thunderball (operation thunderbolt), and the commander of the operation, Colonel Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu (the current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) Brother) called the operation Operation Yonatan (operation yonatan).

It's just that no one would have thought that 25 years later, another hijacked civil aviation airliner would target Entebbe International Airport.
