"In the army, the Airborne Forces are a very special class of troops, because they have a mobile xing that ordinary infantry does not have. "Neither motorized troops nor mechanized troops have the super-mobility capabilities of the airborne troops, and wide rivers, mountains with high clouds, and impenetrable rainforests are no longer a problem, because, no matter how tightly defended, there is always an exposed sky above our heads," Kusai said.www.biquge.info≦≧ Therefore, our airborne forces must develop and grow. ”

After the Soviet Union promised to deliver five Il-76 aircraft by the end of the year, Qusay finally made another important decision: to expand Iraq's weak airborne battalion into an airborne regiment, and eventually to an airborne division.

The Airborne Forces, a special branch of the armed forces, have played an important role in all wars.

At the beginning of World War II, hundreds of German airborne troops raised their hands to capture the strongest fortress in the world: the Eben-Emar Fortress, which achieved the prestige of the German Airborne Forces, the Normandy landings, and also active large-scale airborne troops of the United States and Britain, at the end of World War II, it was the Soviet Airborne Forces that took the lead in attacking Berlin, and in later generations, in local conflicts, the Airborne Forces relied on rapid response, achieved their own prestige, in the early morning of June 12, 1999, a Russian Airborne Force composed of 260 people, The sudden appearance at the Pristina airport in Kosovo disrupted NATO's attempt to exclude Russia from the peacekeeping operation in Kosovo, and the Pskov Airborne Division fought bloodily in the Chechen war and became the deadly nemesis of Chechen militants. ≦≧ as a ferocious and mobile armed force, this winged special forces has become a "national weapon" and appears on the worst battlefields.

At the same time, since the Airborne Forces often need to fight behind enemy lines, the environment they face is the most treacherous, so. Casualties of the Airborne Forces. It is also the largest, and the airborne troops who are invested in Jing Rui embody the will to fight of the warring parties.

Look at this confident leader of real power. Senior Iraqi military officials have expressed their most heartfelt support for His Excellency Qusay's remarks.

"From now on. The 67th Airborne Battalion was expanded into the 67th Airborne Regiment, with three air assault battalions, 2,100 paratroopers, and one combat aviation battalion, including two attack helicopter groups, equipped with 48 Mi-24 helicopters, one transport helicopter group, one communications company, one engineer company, and one anti-aircraft artillery company. Qusay said.

"Your Excellency Qusay, we now only have medium-sized transport aircraft, which simply cannot meet the needs of so many troops in the air. ≦≧," said the commander of the Air Force.

"We can use the existing transport aircraft for training first, and when the Il-76 is equipped with troops, we will have enough capacity to transport." "But," Qusay said. Now this mission must be carried out immediately, and at the end of the year, they will have a combat mission! ”

End? That's only two months!

"Yes. We will definitely get the job done! ”

"The Airborne Forces can be chosen from our active and reserve personnel. Those who have combat experience are the best, and they have to grow up quickly. Complete the mission we've given to this unit! "Kusai is usually mild-mannered, but now, he is not angry.

"Yes."

In Qusay's mind, that bold plan, which has slowly surfaced, has begun to become more and more refined, and directly take Tehran! In this battle, the Airborne Forces and the Iranian National Liberation Army will play a vital role, this is a surprise attack! It was also a quicker way for him to solve the war. ≦≧

At this time, on the other side of the world, the Airborne Forces are also showing their fighting qualities.

After the U.S. top brass made up their minds, the invasion, codenamed Fury, began to be carried out at a rapid pace.

The operation saw Admiral William McDonald, commander of the Atlantic Fleet, assume general command in Washington, and Vice Admiral Joseph Metcalfe, commander of the 2nd Fleet, commanded the field. Nearly 20 warships, including the "Duli" aircraft carrier squadron and the "Guam" amphibious assault ship squadron, took part in the operation, including one missile cruiser, one missile destroyer, two destroyers, five amphibious ships, and a total of 230 land-based and carrier-based aircraft and helicopters of various types.

The ground forces mainly include 5,000 people from 4 battalions of 1 brigade headquarters of the 82nd Airborne Division of the Army, 700 people from 2 battalions of the 75th Special Forces Regiment, and 1 reinforced battalion of the Marine Corps with a total of 1,900 people. The above-mentioned units are all "rapid deployment forces" of the United States, and immediately after receiving the battle order, they made pre-war preparations. ≦≧ addition, six countries along the Caribbean coast, including Barbados, Jamaica, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Dominica, and Antigua, also sent 396-strong detachments to cooperate with the U.S. military operation, so that the operation was under the guise of justice.

With this powerful combined army, navy and air force, to deal with the defenders of Grenada who are only 2,000 people at their own doorstep, even if they include Cuban troops, it will not exceed 3,000 people, and the current US army is no longer the US army during the Vietnam War, they have an advantage in military science and technology!

For example, Grenada, there is no air force at all, their sky, is undefended.

Similarly, the U.S. military has chosen to use airborne troops to parachute from the Sallins airfield on the southwestern tip of the island, and after capturing the airfield, they will continue to attack the campus of St. George's Medical College, which is located near the airport, in order to "protect" the more than 500 American students there.

At the same time, the airfield is occupied, the follow-up troops of the US army, can arrive by planes in a steady stream, in modern warfare, the airborne troops are no longer a large-scale airborne, with their own battles to win, they are just a sharp knife, no matter how powerful the airborne troops, at most they can only have light weapons, at most infantry fighting vehicles, formal battles, but also handed over to the ground heavy troops, they are only used to control the airport runway, enemy headquarters and other key areas, and, hold on to the arrival of their own troops. ≦≧

For this battle, the US troops were very confident, but they never dreamed that for their arrival, the defenders of Grenada were ready.

Just before the blockade of the Caribbean coast by the powerful American navy, the "mercenaries" secretly from the Soviet Union had already arrived in Cuba and landed on the land of Grenada by ship.

The aggression of US imperialism against the just Grenada was the most shameful thing about this commander with a great Soviet plot and rich combat experience on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and he was determined to maintain the stability of Grenada.

Americans, if you dare to come, let you taste it! Remembering the Sakhalin invasion incident that occurred not long ago, the Americans actually carried out aerial reconnaissance of the Soviet Union so boldly, which made Vlamir indignant, and the Americans must not succeed in their conspiracy this time!

The armed men in Grenada, in addition to Grenada's own armed forces of 2,000 people, there are also 2,000 militiamen, after Cuba received the information provided by the Soviet Union, it also rushed to reinforce a thousand soldiers, plus the five hundred mercenaries of the Soviet Union, Grenada's paramilitaries, has reached nearly six thousand, in particular, among them, there are five hundred experienced fighters of the Red Sè Empire, who have killed people on the battlefield in Afghanistan and seen blood, although the number is small, but the combat effectiveness is very high.

Vlamir keenly felt that the airfield and the coastline would be the focus of the Americans' attack, and at his suggestion, their most powerful armed forces were deployed in both directions.

The most powerful thing for the Americans is the air force, and Grenada has no air force at all, and it is impossible for the Soviet Union to send the air force to support the operation like the Korean War in the fifties, so they only have the land force, and only in the ground war can they play their role.

The first round of ground warfare will definitely start at the airport and along the coastline! When the time comes, US imperialism will be bled to the ground!

Against the Airborne Forces, the Gao Shè machine gun was the best choice, and dozens of Gao Shè machine guns brought from Cuba were quietly arranged around the airport.

Fight for America! We are there to rescue our American citizens, who cannot be held hostage by Grenada, as in the Iran incident! Inside the C130 transport plane, about 700 people from the 2nd Battalion of the 75th Regiment of the US Army Special Forces began their first dangerous battle since its formation. They have been told in advance that this military operation is to protect the citizens of the United States!

The army that the taxpayers feed is there to protect the citizens of the United States! The transport plane departed from the Caribbean Sea to Grenada at a low altitude, and the beauties in the cabin who were already covered in camouflage paste on their faces, their morale was very high, they were going to save their citizens, and they must not repeat the Iranian hostage incident in history!

"Note that there are a large number of anti-aircraft weapons at the forward airfield." At this time, the airborne commander received information from the scene, where fierce anti-aircraft fire awaited them!

"The parachute drop to five hundred feet." The commander immediately gave the order.

Originally, the predetermined altitude was 1,200 feet (about 360 meters), but now, the altitude has dropped by more than half, this is the first time since World War II to parachute at such a low altitude, the purpose is to reduce the loss of parachutes, because when paratroopers descend from the sky, they are the most dangerous, at this time, they are completely live targets in the sky.

Hearing this order, the mood of the fighters on the plane was slightly nervous, which meant that the fierce battle was about to begin.

"Request for the clearance of anti-aircraft fire on the airfield." At the same time, the commander asked for instructions from the rear.

The AC-130E armed transport planes following behind the 18 C-130 transport planes, as well as the A-6 and A-7 carrier-based attack planes that took off from the aircraft carrier "Duli", began to prepare aviation fire against the enemy defending the airfield. To be continued
