Chapter 366: Airborne Supply (1)

Rescue the hostages? Saddam asked: "Are the hostages taken by the hijackers?" ”

"Yes."

"Those hostages were made by Khomeini himself, right?" Saddam asked.

It seems that Khomeini's trick can't hide from the clear-eyed people at all, Zhang Feng said: "Yes, the Americans finally have no way to take this group of hostages, so I hope we can rescue the hostages. ”

When Saddam Hussein heard this, he nodded, "But, are you sure that you can rescue the hostages?" Even the Americans themselves are not capable of saving it. ”

Saddam Hussein also knew that a few years ago, the Americans wanted to save the embassy people and organized an operation, but the result was a failure.

"I have been paying attention to the hostage incident, just before the United States sent a request, a small team was sent into northern Iran, if nothing else, they are already on their way back to Iraq, father, if we can successfully rescue the hostages this time and let them return to the United States from Baghdad, we in Iraq will definitely establish a good image of a great power in the world, which is very beneficial to us." Zhang Feng said.

When Saddam Hussein heard this, he was even more overjoyed, his favorite is a big country! He is most pleased to be able to raise Iraq's international standing.

"Father, our front-line troops have supplies, they can continue to attack, if they can occupy Bakhtalam, we will firmly plant a nail in the Iranian plateau, which will also be of great benefit to the future offensive, and in the future, the Iranian plateau will be colder, and the army in the field will be more dangerous." Zhang Feng said.

Saddam Hussein did not hesitate and said: "Yes, if Hazraj can get sufficient supplies and does not take Bakhtaran down for me, then he does not have to come back!" ”

It seems that His Excellency the President has made up his mind, Zhang Feng continued: "I don't know where the First Armored Division has gone? ”

"They've come to Callander and are advancing towards Hanaigan." Saddam said.

"Your Excellency, now is your chance for the 1st Armored Division to make meritorious contributions." Zhang Feng said: "If the 1st Armored Division goes east and can go straight to the rear of Bakhtalam, the Iranians are now arranging a defensive line on the east side of our main force, and they want to rely on this cold winter and heavy snow to completely annihilate us, and the 1st Armored Division will appear in their rear, then the situation will be reversed, and our army will show our army's strong combat effectiveness with a complete victory!" ”

Saddam's eyes lit up, yes, as his most elite descendants, of course, they should be given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Okay, then let the 1st Panzer Division dispatch!" Saddam Hussein made up his mind.

The situation took a turn in the fighting of the Northern Military District, where American weapons entered Iran and blew up the bridge, which prevented logistical supplies from reaching, and now, with the help of American transport aircraft, the disadvantage has disappeared again.

"The boat in front stops and is inspected." An Iranian navy's Bayendo-class corvette departed from the port of Chakhbahr to intercept Israeli-flagged ships transporting arms as they prepared to run away.

"Captain, what shall we do?" The crew asked nervously.

They know what is on board, and they also know that the Iranian Navy behind them will definitely not let them go.

"Let's go on, don't be afraid." The captain said.

Go on? No matter how fast the cargo ship is, it can't outrun the warship! The crew hesitated when they heard the captain's command.

Then, though, they were reassured.

In the sky, two warplanes whizzed by, the aircraft carrier aircraft of the US Navy, the F-18! They flew at a very low altitude, and at the same time made a series of maneuvers as if they were showing off their might, and the radar also locked on the corvette of the Iranian Navy on the sea.

The kind of ordinary anti-aircraft guns that such frigates are equipped with do not pose any threat to them at all.

U.S. Navy! Powerful beauty [***] team! The crew was relieved, with their escort, the warship of the Iranian Navy behind did not dare to make any outrageous moves against them, even if the demonstrator surname opened fire.

The U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier squadron has come to the Arabian Sea to receive the return of these ships, and at the same time, use its own force to deter Iran.

The huge military strength of the United States has finally begun to sort.

In this world, no country dares to blackmail the United States nakedly!

And for countries that are "friendly" to the United States, the United States has released olive green.

It is incumbent upon the United States to support Iraq's just actions.

Six C-141s and ten C-130s from the United States at Turkish air bases, were involved in the operation.

The C-141 "Transport Star" transport aircraft is one of the main strategic transport aircraft of the US Air Force equipped in 1965, with a crew of 5 people and equipped with TF33-P-7 turbofan engines, each providing 9526 kg of thrust. The wingspan is 48.74 meters, the length is 51.29, the height is 11.96 meters, the maximum speed is 912 kilometers per hour, the practical ceiling is 12,680 meters, the maximum take-off weight is 155582 kilograms, the combat radius is 1,112 kilometers, and the maximum range is 5,148 kilometers. It can carry 30-40 tons of cargo or 200 fully armed soldiers, and the C-130 "Hercules" transport aircraft is a medium-sized transport aircraft that is the main force of the US military, using a fuselage layout of upper single wing, four turboprop engines, and a large cargo door in the tail. With a payload of twenty tons, and, as a medium-sized tactical transport aircraft, the C-130 also has a unique way of grazing ground and pulling airdrops.

These transport planes, after taking off from Turkey, flew to the important H-3 airbase in Iraq, from where they were equipped with much-needed supplies, and then flew as Iraqi transport planes.

After all, airdropping directly to the theater of operations means that the United States has intervened in the Iran-Iraq war, and it is unknown how the Soviet Union in the north reacted.

These two transport planes also need to fly about five sorties to be able to transport enough supplies for Iraq's troops to support one week.

"Smack!" A crisp voice came, and then, on the snow-white ground, there were stains of blood, and a body fell weakly.

"Hidden, vigilance!" An officer shouted, if he hadn't lowered his head just now, the bullet would have been clearly aimed at him.

The rest of the soldiers immediately dispersed, and at this time, another soldier was unfortunately shot.

The Iraqi soldiers wearing green army coats were very inconvenient to move, and in this vast white snow, they became very conspicuous targets.

For several days in a row, under such attacks, Iraqi soldiers were numb, and their faces ached from the cold wind told them that they were still alive.

The mood is very low, and now, even their food supplies are probably insufficient.

The whole army is in a very low mood now, and now, staying here, it is simply waiting for death.

"Company commander, the battalion commander told us to immediately rush to the flat land ten miles away, where we will wait for supplies, and at the same time do a good job of the surrounding defense tasks." Suddenly, the communicator ran over and said.

The flat land is relatively open and will not be ambushed, but how can you wait for supplies there?

"Is it a supply convoy?" The company commander asked. The logistics line has long been broken, and there are not many supplies for the division headquarters, will they be issued again?

"No, it's a plane in the sky." Said the communicator.

A plane in the sky? The company commander was a little puzzled, but that open space, airborne supplies were still very suitable. However, how can a unit like them be treated with airborne supplies? Even the most elite First Armored Division, airborne supplies can only be fully guaranteed.

"Attention, move forward and occupy the open space ten miles away, and protect the airborne field." The company commander shouted.

For example, the flight altitude should not be too high, otherwise, the falling things will not know where the wind blows for a long time, and in the plains, just run a few more steps, but in the mountains, they can not catch up when they fly away, and between the two is a cliff.

I can only find those flat boundaries, lower the altitude, slow down the speed and airdrop, but fortunately, they are about to enter the valley, which is suitable for airborne, and this kind of area is still enough.

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to prevent the transport aircraft from being attacked by portable anti-aircraft missiles, but in order to protect these transport aircraft, the Iraqi army is ready.

Not only will ground troops be sent to survey and defend the airborne sites, but more than 20 Mi-24 helicopter gunships will take off from the border of the Northern Military District and will play the main role of protection and investigation of suspicious areas.

Moreover, the Northern Military District will also take off two squadrons of Mirage F1 fighters to escort the transport aircraft throughout the process.

All of this was done at the suggestion of His Excellency Qusay.

Unconsciously, His Excellency Qusay has already erected an image among the senior officers of the Northern Military District, and he is indeed a good fighter who can fight! Moreover, he is always able to come up with an idea at a critical moment to turn the tide.

Zhang Feng didn't know what Saddam Hussein thought, on the surface, Saddam Hussein had always been very much in favor of his approach, he just wanted to complete this battle, and then return to the Southern Military Region, this time, it was just a kind support from him, to let his father know that he had no intention of getting involved in the Northern Military Region.

Usurpation of power, which is hated by all those in power.

Zhang Feng has always been cautious, people stand tall, there will be a sense of complacency, as everyone knows, the higher you stand, the worse you fall, he is the son of Saddam, and he has such outstanding talents, some people are welcome, and there will be more people with red eyes, fortunately, my father has two sons, otherwise, he is familiar with Chinese history, but he knows how tragic the struggle for the throne is.

However, there is another possibility, the more talented he is, the more his father will rely on him.
