In 2001, the American film "Deep Behind enemy lines" was released. The story is very American: a young pilot on an American aircraft carrier in 1996 (Owen. Wilson), and his partner pilot a U.S. Navy F18 two-seat fighter jet for routine patrol missions near Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, they saw some secrets, and the Serb paramilitary group was burying the body. A SAM missile took off, and the fighter was shot down. After being killed by his partner and spending days in hiding, it finally comes to the end of a Rambo-style American muscular male action movie; his boss, Admiral Rickett (Gene. Hackman) personally dressed up and piloted a helicopter to save this young man from the thousands of horses of the Serbs and stabbed the villain killer by the way. All scenes were filmed in Croatia, where the Serb army is played by local Croats because Serbia is not welcome and hates Americans.
(A poster for the Movie Behind Enemy Lines, based on a live-action story.) But the massacre of civilians by Serbs is fictitious)
(The image of the leader of a Serb paramilitary organization in the film, which ends with being arrested by Western law enforcement agencies at an airport.) It was based on the leader of the Yugoslav Alcán Tiger Organization, who was later shot 38 times dead by unidentified killers in a hotel in Serbia.
The film is based on real people and real events. In 1995, a U.S. F16C fighter jet was shot down by a local Serb paramilitary group on a no-fly zone patrol mission in the Bosnia and Herzegovina region. However pilot Scott. Captain Ogrady (who later took 20th Century Fox Tortine to court, saying the film's image discredited himself.) During his service, he took obedience to orders as his duty, and never resisted orders as stubbornly as in the movies. Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning, and after 6 days of thrilling hunting scenes, he was rescued by the US special forces in a helicopter. The scene of the Serb military organization slaughtering civilians in the film is a fiction of the American screenwriter; the villain Serb military leader is indeed his own person but not so magical; the bridge section of the professional killer is completely fictional.

Shot down in the war zone
June 2, 1995, noon. At NATO's Italian air base, U.S. Air Force Captain Scott climbed into his F16 cockpit, where he and his wingman were on a 3-hour no-fly zone patrol. The wingman was Captain Bob, and like the captain, they had carried out dozens of patrols. Just where they went: Americans were not welcome in the Bosnia-Herzegovina region. The once-heart-warming scenery of Yugoslavia has become a war-torn area. The local Serb military leader once said harshly that every US pilot would receive a "one-way ticket" to hell! As the F16 fighter jets headed for the Adriatic Sea, Captain Scott didn't realize he was going on a thrilling journey. The Bosnian region was in a state of engagement at this time, and five days earlier a helicopter carrying the Foreign Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina had been attacked by a Serb missile, destroying the plane and killing people. But the Americans did not believe the Serbs could shoot down their own advanced fighter jets.
Around 3 p.m., Captain Scott's F16 was over the Serb-controlled zone in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, 150 km north of downtown Sarajevo. The F16 was flying at an altitude of 8 kilometers at this time, and they were flying through thick clouds, and a bad luck had quietly befallen them.
(Soldiers of the Bosnian Serb Armed Organization)
Suddenly, the f16's fighter cockpit sirens made a "beep" sound. This is the reaction of ground-based radar waves to the aircraft's scans, which are subsequently locked in by the radar. Two Soviet-produced SAM-6 surface-to-air missiles pounced directly on the F16 fighter at 2 times the speed of sound. Captain Scott immediately took steps to circumvent the missiles, and if there had been a little more time, perhaps with the performance of the F16, it would have been possible to dodge them. But there was not enough time, because the missile was shooting directly from under the clouds, and the pilot only had a 20-second warning. And the missile struck the belly of the F16, which happened to be the blind spot of the airborne radar warning. A few seconds later, a missile hit the F16, and the fighter began to disintegrate in the air after shaking violently for a while.
parachuting
NATO has no knowledge of intelligence that Serb forces in the region possess SAM-6 missile equipment. They later claimed that this was the first time they had been attacked by Sam 6, and that the shooting down of the F16 fighters may have been an elaborate ambush.
Captain Bob, a wingman, dodged another Sam 6 missile, and he also witnessed the fire that shot down the long plane. Captain Bob stared at Captain Scott's plane as it crashed. Bob almost didn't faint: the F16 began to disintegrate in the air, and he didn't see the pilot eject from the capsule. So he couldn't be sure if his teammates were dead or skydive. He recorded the location of the crash in a panic and immediately fled in a hurry.
(Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is inaccessible and has been hiding here since World War II.) The pilots hid here for 6 days and were not just lucky. ）
Captain Scott's luck was good that the missile didn't hit the cockpit directly. It was only the shrapnel that hit the plane, and the F16 began to disintegrate in the belly position of the aircraft. The captain tumbled down with the cockpit of the plane, and in a panic he looked down to see the ejection seat handles in his legs. After pulling the handle, the explosion bolt blew off the aircraft hatch and slightly burned the captain's neck. Scott got out of the plane and opened his parachute and drifted down.
The captain's parachute opened a little prematurely, and he began to land slowly at an altitude of about 6 kilometers. The long time in the air made it easier for the enemy on the ground to hunt him down, and just as he was landing, the captain spotted that the roads in the mountains of northern Bosnia and Herzegovina were crowded with Serb soldiers in military vehicles, intending to perform a "warm" welcoming ceremony for the Yankees.
It was already afternoon local time and the weather in Bosnia and Herzegovina was clear. Captain Scott fell into a jungle, he hid in the weeds in horror, and then he ran desperately, and in a few seconds he disappeared into the green forest. His parachute had been discarded, but his own Caucasian skin was too conspicuous, and he covered his head with green flying gloves. All that remains to do is pray to God. Five minutes later, the Serb soldiers spotted the parachute and dozens of people searched around him, some just 2 meters away from him, frantically strafing the bushes in an attempt to force the pilots to expose themselves.
hide
Five hours later, Captain Scott was still hiding in place and did not dare to move. He felt thirsty, and it soon got dark, and the search team left the area in a daze. The captain crawled out of the hiding place like a frightened critter, and he had some drinking water and chocolate candy blocks in his pocket, which could be replenished by the pilot's physical strength for 2 days. But when the lieutenant had drunk all the water at night, he moved himself cautiously through the jungle, and he had to find a safe place to hide again. In the days that followed, the American quenched his thirst by the rain, carrying a sponge in his clothing that he used to absorb water on rainy days.
The Serb militant group found only a part of the wreckage at the scene, the cockpit part was never found, and the whereabouts of the pilot were not known. NATO is also looking for someone, but 5 days have passed and there is still little news. Although the United States claims that it will not give up, it can only admit internally and privately that there is no hope.
Captain Scott's skydive is located in a remote, south-forested area between the Bihač and Bangaluka regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are some pastures in this area, there are also a lot of grass and forests, and some caves. During World War II, Tito's guerrillas hid here from German devils. The danger factors did not go far: the Serb army was still capturing americans! The hunt continues, but the object of the game has changed: it is the Serbs who arrest people, and it is the Americans who evade the pursuit.
(Serbian soldiers on search missions in the mountains)
Food and water were quickly depleted, and Captain Scott survived on what little equipment he had left. He carried a map, which was actually a waterproof sheet that the captain used to ward off the night cold. Scott had spent 17 days in the field at an air base on the U.S. mainland, and that knowledge is now coming in handy. He used branches to dig up ants to eat, and even nibbled on grass and leaves. Near his hiding place, there were cattle herders, and bored Scott named the two cows near him, and even gave the grazing farmer a nickname. These things diverted the captain's attention and avoided a nervous breakdown.
In order to escape the search of the Serb army, Captain Scott hid himself during the day and advanced to the rescue site under the cover of darkness at night. He was very careful, often creeping forward. The northern mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina have a cold climate, and the sun shines during the day, and the flowers and plants are in the jungle, feeling warm and comfortable. However, at night, the temperature here will drop below 0 degrees. And there are often showers in the mountains, which make clothes very wet. Scott had very little time to sleep, and he had to be vigilant. Now he was looking for a flat area to make it easier for the helicopter to land. His lifebag contained a radio transmitter, a nine-millimeter pistol, a fireworks signal and a compass. There are also matches and a small manual for communicating in the local dialect, which are about to come in handy.

Distress signals
That handheld radio communicator was vital, it had only the volume of a small radio. In addition to being used for direct calls, it can also emit Morse code, or send a beacon signal for rescuers to determine the location. But Captain Scott did not dare to use it hastily, because the Serb army would certainly listen to communications, and the battery could only be used for 7 hours continuously. There is also an automatic beacon in the life-saving equipment, which can automatically emit distress orientation data. But the captain shut it down as soon as he landed, and he didn't want to recruit a bunch of tiger-backed Serb military police. There is also a GPS in the lifebuilding bag, which you can use to locate your own location. The captain tried many times to use the telephone for help, but he soon realized that in addition to wasting batteries, he would expose the location and send himself to the local prison. So the captain remained silent for several days.
The Serb army claimed to have captured the pilots. But the NSA intercepted intelligence that the Serb army had only found the parachute. Captain Scott used that radio to send a distress signal during the night operation, and its power was only 60 kilometers. The Americans received intermittent signals, telling the captain's mother: Your son is still alive, he is hiding in the Bosnian forest. This information alone cannot yet carry out rescue operations.
In fact, during the days that Captain Scott disappeared, the Americans were jumping up and down in search of him. Both NATO and the United States have sent electronic reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the captain's missing areas like combing their hair, and some aircraft have used human infrared detection devices, but they have all worked in vain. The CIA used at least four spy satellites to probe for the captain's electronic beacon signals, two of which were taking pictures along the trajectory of the F16 fighter jets. These satellites, which claim to be able to see everything, have found nothing.
(After Captain Scott was rescued and returned to the mothership, he staggered and looked tired.)
Captain Scott's time was running out, and he was getting weaker. His radio communicator battery was running out, and his body temperature was dropping to dangerous levels, and he often sweated and felt cold. He had to find a rescue location where helicopters could pick him up, and it had to be hidden enough to allow the Serb army to rush to the scene immediately. His target was a mountain pasture 3.5 kilometers from the site of his fall. The captain did not know when he would be rescued, because the hope was very slim.
On June 8, things suddenly took a turn for the better. An F16C fighter is on a mission over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Captain Thomas, the pilot, happened to be Captain Scott's teammate, and he had been looking for comrades many times. The night sky was clear in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in the rocks of the mountain pastures, Captain Scott was curled up in a hidden spot using the remaining batteries to send a distress signal. As luck would have it, Thomas received the signal, and he immediately responded: "Boxer 52, Boxer 11 in Alpha call you." Boxer 52 is Captain Scott's secret call sign, Boxer 11 is Captain Thomas, and Alpha is synonymous with F16 fighter jets. Scott's heart immediately beat wildly, but he calmly responded. Fearing deception, Thomas asks Scott to name his unit when he served at the Base in South Korea, answering correctly. By this time the F16 had been flying for more than an hour, and Captain Thomas's fuel had only 3 minutes to choose to return. After determining the survival of his teammates, the F16 immediately returned to the Italian base, and on the way back Thomas wasted no time in feeding information back to the early warning aircraft patrolling the area. The AWACS aircraft immediately relayed this information to the NATO command in southern Europe.
Elite special forces came to the rescue
At one o'clock in the morning on June 8, Admiral Smith, commander-in-chief of NATO's forces in southern Europe, was awakened from his London comfort apartment. Being woken up in the early hours of the morning wasn't a happy thing, but the next news lifted his spirits: Boxer 52 was found! The admiral immediately called Colonel Martin, 24th Amphibious Commando of the U.S. Marine Corps. Colonel Martin and his macho men with knives and guns were stationed on the amphibious assault ship Cassage, patrolling the Adriatic Sea. Martin was 47 years old, an infantry company commander during the Vietnam War, and he was as strong as an ox, and he could still lift a barbell at the age of nearly half a hundred.
(The Marines involved in the rescue claim to be able to go to heaven and earth.) This time successfully rescued the pilot in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but did nothing in the EP3 collision incident)
The commando team had 2,000 men and horses, equipped with Sea Harrier attack aircraft, helicopters and field equipment. They can attack enemy positions in CH53 Hyper stallion helicopters or hovercraft. These macho men carry high-tech gear from American action blockbusters. Going deep behind enemy lines to tie up tickets, infiltrating and destroying, and rescuing VIP hostages are all their best tricks. Special Forces have had many rescue experiences, but not every time.
The Admiral and Colonel Martin discussed the plan of action by telephone. They currently have two options: 1, night raids. Conduct quick-fire assault operations without the support of other ground forces. 2, after dawn, organize a ground force that can crush any Serb armed force for a strong attack and rescue.
The Americans eventually opted for an overnight raid. Because one of the advantages of this is that it is sudden, and it will take people back before the Serb armed forces can react. There is also a risk that the helicopters sent out could become missile targets for the Serbs. Captain Scott was in a dangerous state, and he couldn't hold out for long, so the Americans decided to rescue him right away.
At 3 a.m. on June 8, members of the special forces gathered on the deck of the USS Cassage. They had 51 people, 10 of whom were helicopter crew members. Three hours before dawn, the commandos' magazines were full of bullets, no one spoke, they had already carried out rescue missions many times, and now everyone was ready to go.
Meanwhile, at 9 p.m. Washington time (6 hours later than in southern Europe), just as special forces were assembling. The National Security Adviser met with President Clinton, and his report was brief: "Tonight we are going to carry out a surprise rescue!" ”
(Ch53 helicopters participated in the rescue, but were later startled by SAM missiles and hit by small arms strafing)
(CV33 CASS Cassachi attack ship.) It became the base camp for this rescue operation)
At dawn, two Hyperstyr helicopters took off with 41 crew members. Of the 41 men, 29 were sharpshooters and 12 were raiding soldiers. Two Sea Cobra helicopters and two Sea Harrier attack aircraft escorted the Super stallion. The aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt and NATO's Italian base dispatched F16 and F18 fighters to patrol the airspace; EF111 and EA6B fighters were dispatched to jam ground radar; the A10 provided air cover would crush any Serb army that dared to intercept; and all operations were coordinated and directed by high-altitude AWACS aircraft. In order to save a pilot, 40 fighters were dispatched. The operation was estimated to cost $6 billion, and if Captain Scott's $14 phone failed or the batteries ran out, the entire rescue operation would fail. It is ironic that expensive high-tech military operations are a vulnerable point in key links.
Thrilling way home
At 5:30 a.m. on June 8, the sun was about to rise on the coast, and a huge group of rescue aircraft was already flying in the hinterland of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After flying over the coastline, the CH53 helicopter flew at a low altitude of 60 meters close to the treetops, maintaining a speed of 195 kilometers per hour and arriving at the rescue area 50 minutes later. During the flight, U.S. electronic warfare aircraft have been jamming Serb-armed radar networks and communications networks so that the other side cannot respond quickly to rescue operations.
Captain Scott waited for rescue in a frenzied mood. It was 6 a.m. and the morning fog had just risen, and while this was good for cover, if the fog intensified, it would affect the rescue. He got in touch with a helicopter, and the captain told him he was fine but wanted to get out of the haunted place early. Because he knew that sooner or later the sound of helicopters would draw the Serbs over. In fact, the Serbs had noticed the arrival of the Americans, who had noticed that the Serb radar had been eyeing the fleet. A Sea Cobra helicopter spotted the yellow smoke released by Captain Scott first, and at 6:44 a Super stallion helicopter landed first, and 20 Marines jumped out of the cabin to form a warning circle. No sooner had the second helicopter landed than Colonel Martin spotted Captain Scott with a pistol and jumping drenched from a bush 50 meters away toward the plane. The fuselage door had just opened for 3 seconds, and a pair of hands pulled the captain into the plane. The commandos on alert immediately withdrew to return to the CH53 helicopter. The two planes immediately took off and headed home, and someone draped Scott with a blanket as he shivered. A drink was handed over, and the captain drank it all, even claiming to praise it, "It tastes great!" ”
The entire ground rescue operation lasted less than 7 minutes. The CH53 still flies at treetop altitudes, reaching speeds of 280 km/h. The distance from Bosnia and Herzegovina to the mothership was 140 kilometers, and just after a third of a voyage, three sam 7 anti-aircraft missiles were fired from a valley basin! None of the three missiles hit the CH53, but it stunned the people on board. The helicopter in which Captain Scott was travelling was met with intensive strafing from small arms. A bullet pierced through the bulkhead of the plane and hit a team member's waist and then bounced onto the uniform of a nearby team member. There was a tense atmosphere in the cabin, and someone handed the 7.62mm bullet to Colonel Martin. The colonel had to ask everyone to remain calm. The CH53 helicopter has been shot, and the rotor and fuselage have been punctured in multiple places. It can now only do maneuvering maneuvers fiercely to avoid fire. The occupants in the cabin tossed to death, and some complained that the journey was choking enough.
End
At 7:30 a.m., both CH53 helicopters returned safely to the deck of the mothership in the Adriatic Sea. The doctor on the warship gave the pilot a medical examination and found that he was in good health. Physical exhaustion due to a lack of food is currently only a state of nutrient deficiency and slight dehydration. On June 9, 1995, the Aviano Air Base in Italy was in a festive atmosphere. Hundreds of pilots' families and Air Force personnel welcomed Captain Scott home and the weary captain stepped off the helicopter. He said a thank you speech to the media reporter: Thank God... I'm a frightened bunny, and those special forces guys are heroes. He later went on to fly the F16 for the Air Force. References :Horror of Bosnia and Herzegovina
