Chapter 110: Orbital Airborne Troops!(3rd Update)
In mid-April, as Ukraine's civil war raged at a fever pitch, mercenaries continued to cross the Polish border and enter the Ukrainian region to support the pro-Western government of Petro Poroshenko. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 For the first time in this war, the Arrowheads came into the eyes of the international community, a mercenary organization that is comparable to a regular army with tanks, artillery, and helicopter gunships, and on the battlefield they defy any international law and kill their enemies with the most brutal means.
However, the United States and Europe and other countries have only condemned this symbolically, and no one will use international law to prosecute private companies that do not even know where they are registered. This double standard is the same as they did in Iraq, placing the blame on an already disgraceful private military contractor.
There are rumors that Transwarp Trade will intervene in this war, but there is no news of Transwarp Trade sending troops other than trains full of supplies being pulled to the Russian-Ukrainian border. At first, the Ukrainian government nervously condemned it, but found that there was no obvious action in the Transwarp trade, so it relaxed its nervousness a little.
As a Freemason's dog, Willy would spend his life gathering intelligence inside Russia, keeping an eye on the Star Ring trade. They wouldn't be naïve enough to think that Jiang Chen was just joking with them, their master, Carmen, knew better than anyone that Jiang Chen was a person who could do anything.
In late April, after the employment contract with the Donetsk chocolate farm was officially signed, Transwarp Trade completed the war planning and all the deployment of troops in three days.
Thirty-six thousand kilometers away, in Star Ring City, a pitch-black transport ship left the port from the side.
At first glance, the ship looks a bit like the Russian-designed Grand Duke Oleg. The same angular cuboid design, the same tail quadruple engine. But if you look closely, you can still clearly see the difference between the two, the transport ship of the Transwarp Trade is obviously larger than the size of the Grand Duke Oleg, and the tail quadruple engine is not chemically powered, but based on the principle of electric propulsion.
After leaving the port, the transport ship turned around with ease, reduced its speed, and flew to the area of 30 degrees east longitude along the flight track below the synchronous orbit, and then accelerated to change orbit and returned to the synchronous orbit.
In this airspace at 30 degrees east longitude, a whole ten transports are hovering, which are pulled by robotic arms and arranged side by side, like a bamboo raft unfolding in a synchronous orbit.
Leaning against the window of the transport ship, Zhang Feng, who was wearing a mechanical exoskeleton, glanced at the scenery outside the window.
From here, Europe is lit up. But their destination has nothing to do with the heart of the bustling world, but with the darkest corners, only Ukraine dotted with artillery fire.
"Jumping down from a height of more than 30,000 kilometers is exciting, isn't it? Don't get me wrong, I'm not scared, for me I'm just going back to my hometown. The Slavic soldier grinned.
Zhang Feng looked at him twice, but didn't say anything. The origins of their team can be said to be varied, and the only thing in common is that there is not a single recruit standing here.
At this moment, a dark shadow outside the window slowly approached.
Zhang Feng glanced at his arm and happened to see a red signal light lit up on the watch embedded in the exoskeleton arm guard.
Time's up.
"The last train is coming, good luck. Patting the Slavic boy's arm, Zhang Feng lifted the rifle leaning aside, buckled the buckle of the helmet, moved his stiff neck, and walked in the direction of the warehouse.
Counting the one that was approaching, these eleven transports were all the belongings of the Star Ring Trade. In order to carry out this large-scale airborne mission, Ivan even borrowed all the transport ships of the Ministry of Space between Star Ring City and the lunar colony.
When the last transport ship entered the queue, the entire transport ship formation moved as if a chemical reaction had occurred.
The bottom hatch slowly opened, and the cargo compartment tilted slightly downward. Dumplings under the ridge-shaped iron boxes seemed to float out of the hatch, and short flames erupted from the cracks in the necks, and one after another fell towards the earth.
30,000 kilometers underneath, on the northern outskirts of Donetsk, night curtain was drawn on the battlefield, and trenches divided the streets on the outskirts of the city, and from time to time green tracer bullets shot out of the bunkers, shuttling between each other's positions. Sporadic sniper gunshots, like urging demons, take away fresh lives.
The sound of artillery fire in the distance rang out from time to time, and the soldiers crouching in the trenches were accustomed to it. The cannonballs ploughed through every inch of the land, and the jet-black scorch marks were like scars, burning every corner of the city.
This line of defense is the last lifeline of the civilian armed forces, and it directly determines whether the Donetsk People's Republic will cross the border behind it and degenerate from a democratically elected government to a government-in-exile.
Fifteen kilometers to the north, the artillery positions of the Ukrainian government army, where the 11 artillery brigade of the 5th Ukrainian Infantry Division is deployed. An hour earlier, they had received an order to open fire on the defensive line on the northern outskirts of Donetsk to provide fire support to the Arrowhead Company mercenaries, who were attacking civilian positions.
"Look! What's that!?" exclaimed a Ukrainian soldier, pointing to the sky.
The shining bright spots fell from the sky, and from a distance they looked like a piece of Kong Ming lanterns, but these "lights" were too high and dazzling.
"Shet! It's Maozi's rockets?!no...... Not quite like ...... Damn, what the hell are those things?!" another Ukrainian soldier scolded nervously.
The highlights didn't give them much time to prepare. With a deafening roar, the seemingly burning drop pods broke through the sound barrier, forcibly tore open the curtain of the night, and fell on the artillery positions of the Ukrainian government army.
A self-propelled gun was directly hit by the drop bay on the top cover, and was directly smashed into scrap metal, and the wide turret was completely sunk into the hull. High-pressure steam burst out of the prismatic iron box, and the hatch jerked forward, sending four soldiers dressed in mechanical exoskeletons out of the hatch in all directions and rushing to the nearest bunker.
The drop capsules fell one after another, dividing the positions of the Ukrainian army like flowers everywhere. The digital helmet marked the identity of the friendly troops, and the night vision device made the dark battlefield as clear as day, and in the midst of this chaos, explosions rang out one after another, obscuring the screams and wails one after another.
The artillery from the north came to an abrupt end, and the resistance of the civilian armed forces was reinvigorated. After paying a lot of casualties, the mercenaries of the Arrow Company had to retreat.
At the same time, angry roars sounded in the command room dozens of kilometers away.
With red eyes, the officer grabbed the communications soldier by the collar and roared as he spitted at the stars.
"The 11th Artillery Brigade has been completely wiped out? Russian Airborne Forces? Where are the Airborne Forces without planes!"
"No, I, I don't know. The Signal Soldier's facial muscles were mixed together, and he almost cried.
At this moment, the man who had been standing next to him without saying a word suddenly spoke.
"Not Russians. ”
Releasing his grip on the Signal Soldier's collar, the officer turned to look at the man and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, not Russians, do you want to say it's your people?"
"It's the people of the Star Ring Trade," the man said in a deep voice, "we may be in trouble." ”
