Chapter 478: Aerial Minelaying

The sniper opened the box next to him, and within thirty seconds, the sniper rifle had been disassembled, loaded into the box, and then carried it onto his back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoβ¦β§ sniper took out a pistol, this is not on the battlefield after all, otherwise, he would go out directly with a sniper rifle.
As soon as they opened the door, they heard footsteps on the stairs below. Can't take the stairs anymore!
This is a small ordinary residential building, so there are no two exits, and the only exit is this staircase.
"Go back inside and go through the window." The lookout said.
If they are facing each other head-on, they are not afraid of those two idiots, but they are afraid of delaying time.
Climbing the building with bare hands was not a problem at all for the two of them, who had been trained in street fighting.
Hassar didn't let the two men rush straight up, in that case, they would be vulnerable to the other side's attack, and they took cover alternately and rushed upstairs.
By the time the second shot was fired, Hassar had already visually detected that the enemy was hiding on the third floor.
Who knows, they went all the way up to the third floor, but they found nothing, everything was quiet. β¦β§
This added to the tension, and there were two houses upstairs, and an agent took a heavy breath and kicked open the east door.
"Boom!" At this moment, the door opened, revealing a stunned family, eating at a table, looking at a few pistols with black holes, and they instinctively raised their hands.
Due to the silencer on the sniper's gun, the family did not notice that there was a great danger around.
No!
"I'm sorry." The agent snapped shut the door.
Then there's just one other one.
The agent kicked the door open, but the house was empty.
Hassal took the pistol and walked into a bedroom, where he saw a man and a woman tied up, their bodies still being there.
The Iranians are so excessive, they actually destroy their sexual well-being and tie them together.
Hassar's face flushed slightly. β¦β§
It must have been when the two were enjoying themselves when the Iranians broke in. As a result, they were tied together in such a way that the Iranians did not know to cover them with something to cover their shame, but the Iranians did not go too far and did not go so far as to be ill-intentioned, they just tied them up and blindfolded them.
Several rooms have been searched, but the other party didn't even leave a bullet casing!
At this time. Sirens were heard from a distance outside.
"Retreat." Hasar said. She looked around. I started to be a little curious, first, that the Iranians did not have an intelligence agency in Belgium at all. How did they get here, and they still carry a sniper rifle? Second, the sniper is well-trained. The escape was so swift that it didn't look like the Iranians did it at all, but rather like the Mossad's methods!
However, there was no time left, even if I asked these two men and women, I couldn't ask anything, and even if the other party left in a hurry, he still cleaned up so quickly. Leaves no trace at all.
"Dr. Boole, it is very dangerous for you to remain in Belgium, and believe me, we in Iraq welcome your arrival, and only in Iraq. to be able to achieve your ideals. The situation was so urgent, Yured said, that if Dr. Bull didn't agree, he would have to do something else. β¦β§
"Yes, I do." Dr. Bull replied.
The sirens are getting closer.
β¦β¦β¦
It was getting dark. The busy Strait of Hormuz has finally calmed down.
During the day. The mine-sweeping forces finally opened up a route wide enough to allow cargo ships to sail in both directions, greatly speeding up the number of cargo ships that could pass.
Iran's attempt to blockade the Strait of Hormuz with mines has once again come to naught, thanks to the efforts of the member States of the Persian Gulf.
Moreover, to the great excitement of the minesweeping troops, in the process of opening up the channel, they only encountered a small number of sinking mines, resulting in a ship that had been seriously damaged and lost the ability to continue sailing, while the rest were all anchor mines, all of which were cut off from the anchor cables, and were destroyed with naval guns after floating.
Shipping at sea is basically restored, although it is necessary to queue up and sail strictly according to the navigation mark, however, those mines under the water are the best**, not a single captain dares to go his own way in a hurry, they are very careful. β¦β§ crude oil exported from the Persian Gulf, all kinds of materials imported from outside have been flowing to their respective destinations.
At night, it is absolutely impossible to sail, and in the still hot and humid sea breeze, the Strait of Hormuz ushered in a calm night.
The Super Hornet helicopters on the island of Oman are busy again, and they have begun to jokingly call themselves owls, but they start working while others are resting.
However, normally it is enough to prepare up to three helicopters, and tonight, all the helicopters are preparing for takeoff. In addition to setting aside three helicopters for routine maritime surveillance, the rest of the helicopters will take on a more important task: laying mines from the air and blocking the movements of the Iranians!
Although Oman only agreed to use it as a base for ultra-Hornet helicopters to monitor the sea, the Omani commanders were sensibly silent when Iraq brought in so many mines, and they did not know anything about the impending operation of the Iraqis, or rather, they did not want to know at all.
The Super Hornet has a load capacity of about four tons, even if it is an ordinary anchor mine, it can put eight, and for a certain flight performance and limited cargo compartment volume, now, in each helicopter, six mines are loaded, of which four are ordinary anchor mines and two are sunken mines.
These mines are the reward for Iran's blockade of the strait with mines!
In addition to those established targets, aerial reconnaissance revealed several areas where Iranian speedboats were concentrated, which would be the target of mine-laying operations. β¦β§
Helicopter pilots are making final operational arrangements, each of them must keep in mind their own objectives, and must drop mines in the designated area, because it is now during the war, and they need to lay mines to restrict the movement of the Iranians, but when they arrive, they will still become the masters here, and when they clean up in the future, they must know the exact location of the mines laid in the first place.
In Qusay's eyes, he has already regarded this place as his own. This strategic location must also be in our own hands in the future.
The Iranians do not cherish this place, they are laying mines everywhere, and they must not do this.
Pilots Nuzad and Chambull boarded their Super Hornet helicopter and began to prepare for the flight.
Putting on the headset, Nuzad began to flip several switches in front of him, and suddenly, several lights in front of him began to light up in turn, and each system carried out a self-test, and then went out after completion.
"Start Engine One." Nuzad said.
Chambur, on the right, turned on the switch on the top of his head, slowly pushed forward, and suddenly, a huge roar sounded overhead, and on the dashboard in front of him, the speed of the No. 1 engine began to rotate normally.
The layout of this two-person helicopter is exactly the same on the left and right sides, and some buttons are common in the area in the middle where both people can reach.
"Start engines two and three." Nuzad continued.
Chambol pushed the two switches on the right side of the switch forward in turn, and the second and third engines started at once, and the Super Wasp helicopter was ready to fly.
Nuzad looked behind him, and under the dim engine room lights, six huge mines had been fixed to the wide floor of the engine room, and several naval personnel were ready to go.
"007 requests to take off." Nuzad said.
At this time, the equipment here was still very rudimentary, and on a makeshift command vehicle, the commander replied: "You can take off, pay attention to the course." β
007, it was to go to the outer edge of Port Lahr to lay mines.
Chamble gently lifted the total moment, and then heard the sound of the propellers on the top churning the air began to become sharp, and under the tremendous power of the three engines, the six propellers drove the body of more than ten tons and left the ground.
After Chamble took off from the base, he saw other helicopters from the glass below, and they were also leaving the land one after another.
His mood was a little excited, and with a light step on the rudder, the helicopter began to turn, and at the same time, pushing the joystick forward, the Super Wasp helicopter began to fly forward. Nuzad, on the right, began to check the course and speed non-stop, the navigation lights outside the cabin had been turned off, and the lights on the inside had also been turned off, only the front instrument panel, showing some dim instrument lights.
The night is dark, and their hearts are on fire.
After more than an hour of flight, the No. 007 Super Hornet helicopter finally came to the vicinity of Lal Port, and at this time, there were still some flashes of light on the port. Lal Port is a port on the western side of Holmzgan province, where Iranian speedboats and missile boats are partly docked at Bandar Abbas, and partly at this port.
Chambull slowly pressed the total moment, and the helicopter slowly descended, gradually reducing the altitude above the sea, which was undoubtedly a very difficult maneuver on such a night.
There are three ways for aircraft to deploy mines, which can be dropped by bombers over targets in a predetermined area, and a parachute bag is tied to the mines, which will automatically open after leaving the cabin, and automatically separate from the mines after reaching the water surface, but, like bombing targets, the error in this way is very large.
The general aircraft can also directly drop mines at a low altitude of 50 to 250 meters, after throwing out of the cabin, use inertia to reach the water, but pay attention to the speed of the aircraft, if the speed is too large, the moment the mine hits the water surface may be triggered, although it will not hurt the aircraft itself, however, the task of laying mines will fail.
There are also seaplanes, because they can land on the water, so they can release mines directly on the surface of the water, just like boats.
Although the Super Hornet helicopter is also a helicopter that can take off and land on the water, it is not intended to be mined after landing on the water, which would be too cumbersome.
Chambble lowered the helicopter to a height of 15 meters above the water, and the rear tail hatch began to slowly open.
