Chapter 1678: Crazy Ivan
After waiting for about 10 seconds, I finally heard Romeo Dallaire say on the other end of the intercom: "I'm sorry, I'm not leaving the Canadian Army now, maybe I'll apply for retirement after this time."
However, since you need the advice of me, a veteran, I will fully cooperate and act as your advisor, and people can come to your headquarters as soon as possible.
However, the safe zone on my side also needs manpower, and I hope that when your men arrive in Kigali, they will be able to detach some of them to defend it. ”
Pavel immediately promised the other party: "There is no problem!"
This is obviously dead to the United Nations, even if the United Nations changes its style in the future, there are too many people who have died this time!
But he didn't want to bear the stigma of "deserting and being bought by money", so he wanted to find a way to appear under compromise.
Guan Xingquan and Pavel didn't think that the other party would join immediately, and they were very satisfied with this result, as long as someone to guide the process of action, it would be a victory.
Professional things should be done by professional people, this truth will never be wrong!
"When will your people enter Rwanda on a large scale?"
The brigadier general is most concerned about this, as for whether there are these people and where the manpower comes from, he doesn't need to think about it: he knows that the combined forces have this strength on the African continent, and he knows that their boss is crazy enough!
Pavel replied, "Soon, after you have arranged the affairs on your side, we will find out." ”
Romeo Dallaire also thought that Pavel's side needed to ask the boss, because it was like a war between two countries, when to send troops and battle plans were the secrets of the secrets!
Until a certain level of trust is gained, the brigadier does not think that the other party will easily tell him these important secrets.
He guessed wrong, the two battalion-level units with parachute capability were already on their way to Rwanda, and when Mr. Brigadier General arrived at the hotel, Guan Xingquan would naturally tell him about it.
Not just two battalions, more than 6,000 combat forces can be deployed to Rwanda in three days, and this is not counting the nearly 300 people who arrived in advance, and not counting the support personnel who served the operation.
Not even counting air power.
......
In the dark of night, the huge An-22 fleet flew smoothly over the jungle of eastern Zaire, and it was not a matter of silence, but at this time, the sleeping villagers in the villages on the ground and the natives of the jungle would never care if there was a swarm flying in the sky.
As for the Zairean government...
I'm sorry, Zaire is huge, the eastern region is not their cup of tea, this large area does not even have a civilian navigation radar, let alone any air force.
The paratroopers in the cabin closed their eyes from their temporary positions, and they were ready to land in a group after reaching the target accurately.
The kid's 5 Rwandan franc commission gave the operation a strong sense of justice, very different from the feeling of fighting in Angola before.
Most of the people don't speak, but their morale is high!
Paratroopers, born surrounded?
It was when there was a big war, like World War II, and this trip was different.
The high morale comes not only from the mission characteristics of the mission, but also from the confidence of the equipment and people!
The guys are not only light weapons, but also in the cabin of two An-22 giant transport aircraft, each of which has four BMD-2 paratrooper fighting vehicles with fixed turrets and air-cushion auxiliary parachute systems, which are arranged on parachute platforms on top of the slide rails.
Parachute tanks, who else can do it nowadays, except for Russia!
8 commanders who say they are brave or bold enough to call them crazy have already entered the chariot, fasten their seat belts, and they will parachute with the car!
Not only are the commanders crazy, but the 8 drivers are also crazy, and they will be thrown out of the cabin in a chariot with their respective commanders!
They came from the best airborne units in the Soviet Union, and most of them were now in their twenties, eighteen to thirty years old, and although they were not as youthful and energetic as they were in their twenties, they were still at their peak and more experienced.
The equipment to be operated is not only the most advanced in the Soviet Union, but also the most advanced in the world, providing the most basic fire support and steel cover for ordinary paratrooper brothers.
They are paratroopers, or paratroopers in steel chariots!
Looking from the cockpit of the transport plane, the sky was already bright, the plane was rapidly descending in altitude, and the fleet entered the parachute flight route.
The ground is no longer a jungle landscape, but a farmland with a very small slope, and you can still see a few villages.
As for the city of Nyamata, it is three kilometres north of the parachute course: within a dozen or twenty kilometres of the vicinity, this large area is the flattest and suitable for airborne operations.
As for how to know...
The preparations were not made in vain, they had prepared a lot of information about Rwanda, and they were still looking for people who had been to Rwanda to understand the situation.
After receiving the order last night, the advance team in Bukavu, a major town in western Zaire, also paid to learn a lot of useful information from Zaireans who are familiar with Rwanda and from Tutsi refugees who fled across the border yesterday.
This will allow the paratroopers to jump and fall into the jungle without being in danger.
The preparation light is lit in the cabin, and the cargo bridge door at the rear slowly opens... With the order issued, the first paratrooper fighting vehicle was opened, and the whole vehicle with the airborne platform was quickly dragged out of the cabin by the parachute.
Don't get too excited!
In the whistling wind, it seemed that the crazy commander and the driver could be heard shouting "Ula!"
The paratrooper, the absolute elite, the commander and driver of the parachute chariot, the outlaw and madman among the absolute elite!
The artillery commander and the four vehicle-mounted infantrymen all parachuted separately and landed on the ground using walkie-talkies and other means to find their own cars, and the two of them were thrown out with people and cars.
Crazy Ivan!
The chariot went down, and the infantry on the vehicle ran out after it in order to save trouble, which is called parachuting of the chariot and the crew on the same plane, which is also difficult and high-risk, and very hairy!
One by one, the paratrooper tanks were pulled out of the cabin, and soon a huge group of parachutes appeared in the air, which looked spectacular!
Not only the combat vehicles, but also nearly 1,000 paratroopers jumped out of their respective transport planes, with a height of less than 500 meters, and the umbrella flowers in the air could be dazzled.
This will be at a slightly higher altitude on both sides of the parachute aisle, and two four-engine transport planes smaller than the An-22 will provide the first cover for the parachute operation, which are two structurally reinforced An-12s that have been converted into gunboats.
Mixing Africa, using the Su-30 and Su-24 to deal with those straggler guerrilla-style opponents is not only wasteful, but also often thankless.
Against opponents who have little air defense, the gunboat machine is super easy to use, but the Americans refuse to sell it.
What to do?
Make!
