930 is so pretty
While the Rashid family was making optimization adjustments, the consequences of Lanfang's defeat of Iraq were continuing to ferment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The most affected are the Saudi Aziz family, who took the wrong side at the end of the Syrian-Iraq war, resulting in heavy casualties among the Saudi army and facing the threat of war from Lan Fang, which really made Abdul Aziz restless.
There are many reasons for Abdul Aziz's restlessness, the most dangerous of which is of course the threat of war from Lan Fang, but the Rashid family, which is already showing signs of recovery, is a big problem for Abdul Aziz.
After all, it is impossible for Lan Fang to completely occupy Kill, as long as the Aziz family and Lan Fang maintain contact, the Aziz family will definitely satisfy Lan Fang and calm Lan Fang's anger. But if the Rashid family rises again, then it is the end for the Aziz family.
So before appeasing Lanfang's anger, Abdul Aziz must first solve the problems of the Rashid family.
In fact, now the Rashid family has fallen behind in the war with the Aziz family, and the Rashid family has been suppressed by the Aziz family in Mecca and Medina to survive, if it were not for Abdul Aziz's scruples that Mecca is a holy place for the Persians, and a military attack in the Mecca region may lead to the destruction of this thousand-year-old city, then Abdul Aziz would have already unified Saudi Arabia.
After Lan Fang defeated the Iraqis, Abdul Aziz had received news that the Rashid family had sent someone to meet with Qin Haoge, the commander of Lan Fang's military during the war.
At this time, if you care about any "holy places" and "thousand-year-old cities", it will be pedantic, so in early June, Abdul Aziz concentrated the superior forces of six divisions and launched an attack on the Mecca area, trying to completely solve the hidden danger of the Rashid family.
In the face of the attack of the Aziz family, the Rashid family was indeed powerless to resist, but fortunately, there was still the support of Lan Fang, so the Rashid family could barely maintain the defense line in Mecca and not be defeated.
After Qin Haoge and Faris reached an agreement, they had already sent a force of about 2,000 men to Mecca to assist the Rashid family's troops in defense.
Relying only on a force of 2,000 men, although it is not enough to counterattack, there is not much problem in defense, after all, the proportion of automatic weapons and equipment in the Foreign Legion is much higher than that of the Aziz family, and the crowd tactics have been proven to have no advantage in the face of automatic weapons in the world war.
However, the proportion of automatic weapons and equipment is high, and the dependence on logistics is becoming more and more serious, and if there is no strong industrial support, automatic weapons are not as good as primitive broadswords and spears without bullets.
The Iraq controlled by Qin Haoge is still a bit far from Mecca, with a straight-line distance of more than 1,400 kilometers, such a long distance, and there are no roads and railways along the way, either the desert or the Gobi, and it is impossible to rely on ground transportation to ensure logistics.
Fortunately, Lanfang still has a transport plane, and Djibouti is already under Lanfang's control, and the straight-line distance from Djibouti to Mecca is less than 1,000 kilometers.
Since June, transport planes from Djibouti have been sending a steady stream of military supplies to Mecca, which has strongly supported the defense of the Mecca region, and without air support from Djibouti, the Mecca defense line may have collapsed long ago.
There is a cost to dispatch the transport plane, and these expenses are the responsibility of the Rashid family, although the Rashid family cannot afford to pay now, the account still has to be recorded, and there is interest.
The Lanfang Military Department is really a good deal.
Before the arrival of the first transport plane in Mecca, there was not even a single car in the entire Mecca area, and the first transport plane sent a "black horse", which was a "small gift" from the Lanfang military department to Ashleph Rashid.
It has to be said that the Persian people's dedication to pleasure is also infiltrated into the bone marrow, with the arrival of the first "black horse", the Rashid family seems to have entered a new era, Lanfang's products began to pour into Mecca, cars, home appliances, clothing, food, movies, and even books printed in Chinese, as if overnight, as long as it is a little bit of things with Lanfang, it will become fashionable in Mecca, many Persians even abandoned the traditional robes, and wore a variety of military clothing produced by "hunter clothing".
Qin Zhiyuan wants this effect, Lanfang's export is not only industrial products, Lanfang also has to export culture, only in this way can we win the Persians' sense of identity with Lanfang to the greatest extent.
While supporting Mecca's defense, Chen Kangjian and Qin Haoge are also looking for opportunities to counterattack.
In fact, as early as last year, the Aziz family had announced the establishment of Saudi Arabia, and the capital, like the original history, was still set in Riyadh.
This place in Riyadh is not far from Yemen, after Chen Kangjian landed in Yemen, he built an airport in Mukala, and the straight-line distance from Mukala to Riyadh is only 1,100 kilometers, and it can be said that Riyadh is already within the strike range of the Lanfang Air Force.
However, Chen Kangjian did not want to blow Riyadh to the ground, Chen Kangjian wanted to defeat the Aziz family as quickly as possible and help the Rashid family gain as many advantages as possible before the Cairo meeting, so it was the best choice to directly send airborne troops to attack Riyadh.
In early June, the Air Force led by Dou Yongyi moved from Moon Bay to Mukara to prepare for an airborne landing on Riyadh.
There is still a lot of work to be done before the airborne, so from the beginning of June, reconnaissance aircraft of the Lanfang military began to conduct reconnaissance of the Riyadh area to determine the strength of Riyadh's defenses, as well as to determine the landing site.
The Aziz family noticed the frequent reconnaissance of Lan Fang's reconnaissance plane, but even the most militarily gifted person in the Aziz family probably never imagined that Lan Fang would use airborne to attack Riyadh.
On 11 June, when the preparations were basically completed, Dou Yongyi led 80 "Kangaroos" and 120 "Eagle Eagles" to prepare to parachute the 15th Airborne Brigade to Riyadh at one time.
The largest establishment of the Lanfang Airborne Corps is the brigade, and like the Marine Corps, the Airborne Forces now have only two brigades, namely the 11th Brigade and the 15th Brigade, and the other numbers belong to the Marine Corps.
The 15 th Brigade has a total of 4,500 officers and men, and 80 "Kangaroos" capable of transporting 30 combatants and 120 "Eagle Eagles" capable of transporting 20 combatants are just enough to send all the officers and men of the 15th Brigade and their equipment to Riyadh.
Originally, Li Zhengwen was in charge of the attack, but when the troops were departing, Wang Zhengshan, commander of the Airborne Forces, temporarily decided to parachute into Riyadh with the 15 th Brigade.
"Commander, you should stay in the rear and preside over the overall situation, this little thing, our 15th Brigade will be enough." Li Zhengwen didn't want Wang Dingshan to get on the plane, and he was still working hard before getting on the plane.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is the first time that our airborne troops have appeared on stage, you let me stay in the rear and preside over the overall situation, can I sit still?" Wang Dingshan was resolute and wanted to personally command the 15 th Brigade to complete its mission.
Wang Dingshan is also a tragic urge, in the Lanfang army, there are few older than Wang Dingshan, but Wang Dingshan is not very lucky, after the establishment of Lanfang, Wang Dingshan first served in the Foreign Legion, but made a mistake when attacking Lushun in the war against Japan, and then was assigned to Goryeo, and in Goryeo and Liu Zizheng carried out several purges, which was widely criticized by public opinion, and then was thrown into the Military Academy of Lanfang Imperial University, after the establishment of the Airborne Forces, Qin Zhiyuan finally used Wang Dingshan again.
Wang Dingshan is just in his early thirties this year, and he has not yet reached the age of enjoying his old age, so Wang Dingshan attaches great importance to the appearance of the airborne troops this time.
"Commander, don't worry, our 15th Brigade will never disgrace our airborne troops." Li Zhengwen expressed his determination.
"That's okay, don't worry, I won't interfere with your command, you can fight how you want, let's go." After Wang Dingshan finished speaking, he turned around and went up the gangway.
At the same time as the cabin door was closed, hundreds of planes were lined up at the entire Mukala airport to take off, not all the planes here, there were more planes in the hangar that had not been launched, and although Chen Kangjian's engineers had tried their best, they still could not surprise an airport that could accommodate hundreds of planes within a month.
It is enough, it is estimated that after this time, Mukala Airport will not have so many opportunities for planes to take off at the same time, this is not Lanfang itself, and it is a waste to build a super-large airport.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the escort fighters of the two wings took off first, then the "Eagle Eagle", and then the "Kangaroo", and Lan Fang's airborne landing on Riyadh officially began.
The Aziz family actually doesn't have fighter jets, and to be honest, it doesn't matter whether they send escort fighters or not, but considering the regulations on the dispatch of airborne troops and the payment of the Rashid family, Dou Yongyi still decided to send fighter jets to escort the escort, even if he can't get a combat opportunity, it's not bad to use it as a training.
Three hours later, escort fighters were already flying over Riyadh.
To tell the truth, Riyadh really doesn't look like the capital of a country, the whole city covers an area of only three or four square kilometers, there are no rows of high-rise buildings, no wide and straight central avenues, some are just low and dilapidated houses, and the whole city looks gray, just like those Gobi in the suburbs.
Hundreds of planes flew over Riyadh, which still aroused the vigilance of the ground forces in Riyadh.
It's a pity that the Saudis have no means to attack the Lanfang Air Force, and the Saudis don't even have anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense, which allows Wang Dingshan and them to calmly organize an airborne landing.
"I'll go down first, and we'll see you on the ground." Wang Dingshan sorted out his parachute backpack and prepared to jump out first.
"Commander, I'm coming!" Li Zhengwen will definitely not let Wang Dingshan test the air defense capability of the Saudi side, and jump out of the cabin.
Li Zhengwen is not the first, when Li Zhengwen jumped out of the cabin, the entire airborne area was already full of umbrella flowers, just like a landing dandelion petals, white umbrellas, blue sky, with small gray spots under the umbrella, really beautiful.
