Chapter 52: The Paratrooper Lands
Lockheed. Martin began producing the C13O Hercules transport aircraft in 1955, and this propeller tactical transport aircraft is still in service with the air forces of various countries, and the Colin Air Force is equipped with an extended version of the C13OH3O, which can transport 92 heavily armed paratroopers.
The paratroopers under Mohammed are indeed elite in the Middle East, and any person can pull them out and act as a "king of soldiers" in neighboring countries, but there is still a long distance from the real world's top special forces level, and their parachute landing is very few, and they are all parachuted in broad daylight, without the threat of ground anti-aircraft fire, but today it is parachuted at night, and below is the enemy army equipped with tanks, the difficulty can be imagined.
Many soldiers' legs were already shaking, licking their lips non-stop, the red light in the cabin turned on, the non-commissioned officer shouted and ordered the soldiers to check the equipment, followed by the yellow light, everyone was ready, put on the goggles, and when the green light came on, the paratroopers had already lined up and hung up the parachute hooks.
The rear hatch of the transport plane slowly opened, and the ground was pitch black below, and it was necessary to parachute in advance to ensure that the paratroopers landed in the palace area.
Muhammad gave an order, the paratroopers jumped down like dumplings, and only a few people were left on the plane to guard the pilot, Xiao Cui and Liu Handong were both trained in parachuting, and they also carried parachute bags on their backs, and parachuted with Mohammed, while Huo Lei and Qin Xianyang had not practiced this, and skydiving rashly was equivalent to death, so they acted with the plane, Prince Amir was noble, and naturally he would not parachute to adventure, and he also stayed on the plane.
Liu Handong jumped out first, the wind was blowing, his breathing became unsmooth, his brain was blank, he couldn't remember anything clearly, he only saw the plane in the sky in the distance, the lights were shining under his feet, it was the palace!
He finally woke up, pulled the parachute line, and the whole person rushed upward, the fall slowed down significantly, and then looked around, nearly a hundred parachutes bloomed, extremely gorgeous.
Below is the Colin Palace, this is a huge area, the center is the palace, the periphery is the green garden and the beach, usually it is heavily guarded, 24-hour patrols, the gate is heavily guarded, after the coup d'Γ©tat, the guard force is strengthened, a 6th Army armored battalion was transferred to the palace to guard, in addition to a mechanized infantry battalion and anti-aircraft missile battalion at the airport, two infantry battalions, a gendarmerie brigade and almost all the police force were deployed in the urban area.
The palace is lit up all night long, the blue swimming pool and green tennis courts can be seen in the sky, as well as the helipad and the golf driving range, and it is now two o'clock in the night, when ordinary people are asleep.
The roar of the propeller of the Hercules transport plane woke up the royal guards on duty, he opened his sleepy eyes, turned on the monitor to check, there was nothing unusual, thought about it, suddenly rushed out of the house, looked up, and the sky was full of parachutes.
The terrible siren sounded, it was a temporary hand-cranked siren, and the officer on duty shook the siren vigorously, and thought of something, and ran back to the house to call the guard troops stationed outside.
Responsible for the security of the royal family is loyal to the Great Prince of the 6th Army troops, an armored battalion equipped with T72 tanks, the equipment of the 6th Army of the King Colin is relatively backward, basically or the ordnance imported from the Soviet Union in the eighties, the tanks have long been old, each company has three tanks, the whole battalion has ten, this is the establishment on paper, in fact, the armored battalion has only five tanks, the rest have long been lying in the nest, can only be dismantled as spare parts.
The main force of the coup d'Γ©tat was this armored battalion, as the fist force of the Great Prince, the whole battalion was arrogant, at this time most of the soldiers were sleeping in tents, and the tanks did not keep their engines running as required, and combat readiness was child's play for them.
When the siren sounded, the soldiers of the armored battalion reacted quite quickly, and they got up in a hurry, those with guns and those who climbed tanks climbed into tanks, and they made a mess.
After they were in place, the paratroopers had already fallen to the ground, because they were too worried that the paratroopers would fall on top of the armored troops and be slaughtered, the transport plane flew close to the sea, and as a result, most of the paratroopers fell into the sea, and only a dozen people landed on the beach, including Liu Handong.
Liu Handong hurriedly unfastened the parachute, looked around, someone had already untied the parachute, holding a gun on guard, Muhammad was collecting the parachute, his movements were meticulous, and the soldiers quickly brought him closer to form a combat group.
"Attack!" Muhammad's face was painted with oil paint, and he rushed to the palace with his men in charge.
Liu Handong didn't see Xiao Cui, and he couldn't care about him, so he rushed forward with Muhammad with his gun, and the thin gunshots rang out, it was the palace guards who were firing, and they actually used pistols to block the attack of the paratroopers.
The paratroopers on the surface of the sea continued to fight with the water, some were caught in ropes and drowned, some sank to the bottom of the sea because their equipment was too heavy, while others cut the ropes, discarded their equipment and swam ashore with their bare hands.
Muhammad was as brave as a lion, rampage with an automatic rifle, without paying any attention to any tactical movements, Liu Handong pinched a sweat for him, and he was faced with the royal guards who had no combat effectiveness, replaced by slightly trained soldiers, and these horses all died on the beach.
The royal guards were armed with Beretta M9 pistols, two spare magazines per person, not even grenades, and could not fight against the paratroopers at all, they resisted bravely and retreated, Mohammed was familiar with the terrain of the palace, and cooperated with his subordinates tacitly, attacking fiercely with machine guns, gun grenades, grenades, and rocket launchers, like a red-hot knife cutting cheese, without resistance, like a bamboo.
When they stormed the palace, the paratroopers floating on the sea had also boarded6, and a new force had joined the battle, and the palace guards had no power to fight back.
Muhammad rushed into the splendid inner palace and went straight to the prince's bedchamber, where he began to be cautious, cooperating with his subordinates and covering each other, either sweeping a shuttle or throwing a grenade into the door before entering.
The eldest prince's bedroom was large, the oak door was covered with gold, the paratroopers first made the door into a hornet's nest, and then rushed in, there was no one on the big bed, and when Muhammad touched it, the bed was still hot, and he searched around the house, and suddenly pointed to the wall and said: "RPG." β
Everyone dodged, and a paratrooper was about to shoot a bazooka, when suddenly a door opened in the wall, and the eldest prince stood naked and wearing only a turban, standing awkwardly in the secret room, under his fat belly, and his ugly and small genitals almost retracted into his stomach.
"Dress Your Highness." "Even if it is executed, the royal family should die a dignified death." β
On the other side of the palace, Liu Handong was fighting fiercely with a group of people of unknown origin, who were using MP5 submachine guns, and the fight was accurate and ruthless, and three paratroopers had already been wounded.
"Grenades." Liu Handong shouted, a soldier behind him took out a grenade and pulled out the safety pin and handed it to him, he pinched the grip and threw it hard, and the pacesetters of the military region's big competition showed their might again, and the grenade had the effect of a mortar.
Seven or eight grenades were thrown out, the other party stopped, Liu Handong led the paratroopers to kill them, only to see that the corpses on the ground were obviously not Arabs, but European and American whites, some were wearing beach pants, and some were 511 tactical clothes, which seemed to be mercenaries.
In front is the residence of Crown Prince Said, according to the analysis, it is likely that His Royal Highness is under house arrest here, not in the dungeon, they guessed correctly, when Liu Handong kicked open a door and rushed in, now a white man is holding a gun to Said's temple, and the other hand is holding a grenade that pulls out the pin.
"What do you want?" Liu Handong asked.
The white man had a golden head and green eyes, he was very calm, his hands were steady, and he did not tremble at all. "Get me out of here." He said he spoke English with an American accent.
"You put the gun down first." Liu Handong said.
"You go first." Greeneye was polite, "Please put down the gun, or I'll be nervous." β
Liu Handong put down the G36, his fingers moved involuntarily a few times, his pistol was placed in the holster of his leg, and at such a close distance, he was sure that one shot would hit the opponent's eyebrows.
But this kid is very cunning, his head is hidden behind Said, and he doesn't give Liu Handong a chance to shoot at all.
Said didn't say a word, but a serene smile appeared on his lips.
Suddenly, the green-eyed head exploded, this movement, at least the effect of a 7.62mm rifle bullet, Liu Handong jumped out with an arrow step, pulling the crown prince to lie down, and at the same time overturning the heavy solid wood table as cover.
The grenade exploded, and shrapnel blew off the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unharmed.
Saeed patted the dust off his body and stood up, saying, "Give me a gun." β
Liu Handong handed over the pistol, but the other party did not answer, and snatched an automatic rifle from the soldier's hand, and asked as he walked: "Muhammad is back?" β
"Yes, Your Highness, the general rushed back from Iraq, and Amir has returned."
"Iraq where you sent Amir?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Good, you'll be rewarded, and your sniper friends."
"How does Your Highness know it's my sniper?" Liu Handong was puzzled, although he also guessed that the shot was Xiao Cui's masterpiece.
"Because there are no such sharpshooters among the paratroopers, it's not that they can't shoot accurately, but they don't dare." Said walked like a fly, majestic.
Muhammad escorted the Grand Prince to the rendezvous, and Saeed formally took over the command, ordering the paratroopers to hold the palace and wait for reinforcements.
"Your Highness, where are the reinforcements?" Muhammad asked.
Said stared at him: "I said yes, there is." β
Liu Handong suddenly understood, there was no so-called reinforcement at all, it was just a lie to comfort the soldiers, Syed had been under house arrest before, how could he strategize, Said's hole card is just this one, the big ghost has now been played, it depends on whether the other party has a bomb.
Of course, the rebels have bombs, and the five T72s of the armored battalion are the killer weapon that the paratroopers can't stop, although they have anti-tank rocket launchers, but you have to have a chance to aim.
Five tanks lined up, and 125mm smoothbore guns began to bombard the palace, without the slightest worry about throwing rat traps, which is also understandable, the commander of the 6th Army of the Colin royal family is Prince Khalid, the son of the eldest prince, his father hanged, and he happened to take over as emir.
The armoured battalion was fully armoured, and behind the tanks were dense infantry, and Mohammed received a radio report from the plane that the rebels stationed at the airport were rushing in armoured vehicles, the strength of two battalions.
The palace was open on all sides, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it was quite difficult for dozens of paratroopers to hold such a large area.
The real battle is only now begining
