Chapter 551: A Battle of Blood and Fire
readx;
Original In peacetime, low-altitude skydiving is a high-risk subject, and low-altitude skydiving in the evening, the difficulty coefficient will be higher, because, if the main parachute cannot be opened, there is only a short time to open the backup parachute, and when it is dark, the ground target is not clear, and at the moment of landing, the posture is incorrect, which may lead to broken legs and the like
However, in the war years, in this era of blood and sacrifice at any time, these dangers are no longer dangers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧
A great advantage of choosing this time and this altitude for parachuting is that the anti-aircraft fire on the ground will not be able to react at all, and the losses of the airborne will be minimized.
And now, since the Air Force has managed to suppress the fire on the ground, since the Iranians simply could not react, the landing of Iraqi paratroopers went very smoothly.
Seeing the paratroopers falling from the sky, the Iranians who remained at the airport opened their eyes wide and looked at the sky where the last rays of the sunset shone on the sky, their eyes were full of disbelief.
How is this possible! How could the Iraqis have so many paratroopers and how could they suddenly land here!
Only a handful of Iranians recovered from the shock, picked up the weapons at their side, and swept blindly into the sky. ≦≧
Unfortunately, it was already late.
After the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd battalions landed on the ground, they immediately cut off the ropes of the parachutes on their bodies, and began to assemble in twos and threes.
At the same time as the paratroopers landed, some of the weapons bags were dropped.
Since the 67th Airborne Regiment is still not equipped with paratrooper fighting vehicles, they will fall into the embarrassing situation of not having heavy firepower after they land, and they themselves will have limited weapons. It is impossible to carry infantry offensive weapons such as anti-tank missiles. So, in the process of their parachute jump, they carry special weapons randomly. It was also put down.
As soon as Abed landed, he began to gather his troops from his side and launched an attack on the most important tower of the airport. Although half of the tower was blown up in the last air raid, it is still the commanding height of the entire airport, and if you control the tower, you will be able to control the airport.
This attack completely had the effect of a surprise attack, and in the face of the airborne troops falling from the sky, all the courage of the Iranians to fight disappeared. ≦≧ battle went relatively smoothly.
Almost at the same time, Rafsanjani received information about the appearance of Iraqi airborne troops at the airfield.
"It is reported that a large number of Iraqi airborne troops appeared at the Tehran airbase. Presently. The guards of the airfield are engaged in a fierce battle with them. ”
Hearing this report, Rafsanjani felt dizzy in front of his eyes. All these actions in Iraq in the past two days are all for one goal: Tehran!
By now, he has been able to determine that the target of the Iraqis is not the city in the south at all, because they simply do not have the courage to attack there, and there is no need to attack there, their target is the capital of Iran, Tehran under their feet!
What should have come has come or come, and the rest is to be brave enough to fight!
"Immediately order the newly formed 138th Infantry Division to quickly go to the airport and must wipe out all the Iraqi airborne troops; at the same time, order the Revolutionary Guards and the 137th Infantry Division, which set out yesterday to reinforce the troops, immediately return to Tehran, and before dawn tomorrow, they must enter the city of Tehran and prepare for street fighting. Rafsanjani said.
Now that the main direction of attack of the Iraqis has been determined, what is coming down is to deal with it with all our might! Those two armies had to be brought back, and the Iraqis at the airport had to be eliminated as quickly as possible. ≦≧
No one questioned Rafsanjani's order, the transfer of those two armies back, it was necessary, they fell for the Iraqis!
Just then, another urgent report arrived.
"In the southern part of the city, the sound of helicopters was heard, and a large number of helicopters were flying towards the inside of the city."
Helicopter? Surely not its own, then, that is, Iraq is not only going to capture the airport, but also, wants to enter the inner city of the city?
Almost at the same time, it occurred to them that the Iraqi helicopters that entered the city must have been coming at them.
"Let's send a few regiments from the 138th Division to support the Ministry of Defense." A senior staff officer suggested.
"No, the mission of the 138th Division is to go to the airport, Iraq is just coming by helicopter, we can be completely prepared." "A few helicopters are not a threat to our fortifications, we need not be afraid," Rafsanjani said. ≦≧”
Hearing the word fear, the staff officer who had just spoken immediately blushed.
Suddenly, "boom", a huge explosion was heard from above. The attack on Iraq has begun!
Just before the transport plane reached the target, the helicopters of the airborne regiment in Hamadan had already approached the city of Tehran at an ultra-low altitude, and it was impossible for them to avoid residential areas, although they were not detected by radar, and the Iranians also heard a loud roar outside, but they did not have time to react.
Iraqi helicopter pilots have all carried night vision devices, but the danger of flying quickly at low altitude in the city is still very high, but they must quickly reach the position they need to attack in order to have the effect of a surprise attack.
Soon, just as Rafsanjani received the report from below, they had reached their target area: the location of the Zhèngfu in Tehran and the Ministry of Defense building.
At this time, the 3rd Airborne Battalion of the 67th Airborne Regiment, carried by the last small transport aircraft to take off, also arrived over the target.
After receiving the order from the pre-jing, the pilot of the Mi-24 helicopter gunship stabilized the helicopter in front of the target, and at the same time, the weapon crew in the rear compartment pressed the fire switch, the circuit was turned on, and the 57mm rocket under the short wing began to fly towards his target. ≦≧
At the same time, in the aft compartment of the Mi-24 helicopter gunship, the special forces, who came with the helicopter, quickly slid down the rope suspended by the helicopter.
They move very quickly and quickly, and they are already familiar with a conflict of this scale, and the weapons they carry are even more varied, but they are also very handy, they are the most sharp units in the Iraqi army: the Sidewinder special forces and the Crescent special forces.
In this significant combat operation, two of Iraq's most elite special forces have also begun their second battle, they are sharp knives, and the third airborne battalion will follow to expand the results.
The Rattlesnake special forces, which mainly captured the zhèngfu building, and the Crescent special forces, mainly attacked the Ministry of Defense.
Warich slid down the rope and looked at the Zhèngfu building, which had been ravaged by helicopter rockets in the sky that had begun to darken, and said to his teammates, "Ready to go." ”
At this time, the transport plane had also arrived at the intended landing site, Ziyou Square, which was relatively open and very close to the Zhèngfu building and the Ministry of Defense building, which was suitable for the Airborne Forces to quickly enter the battle.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the brave fighters of the third battalion of the 67th Iraqi Airborne Regiment bravely jumped out of the cabin one by one.
As a brave airborne soldier, you can appear anywhere in the enemy's position! Now they have landed directly in the heart of Iran, the city of Tehran!
There was silence in Ziyou Square, only the "Tower of Justice" standing in the square was silently watching the airborne troops descending from the sky, and the Iranian sky was already undefended.
In a building next to Ziyou Square, the soldiers of an infantry squad guarding here spotted the Airborne Troops falling from the sky, and they immediately became nervous.
The Iraqis have appeared, and they are going to fight bravely!
"Kill the Iraqis!" The squad leader gave the order.
"Tutu, Tutu." The only machine gun in the infantry squad began to fire into the sky, although they had seen the airborne troops landing, but it was not easy to hit the target with a light machine gun on the air, and there was no tracer bullet in the middle of the bullet, and the trajectory of the bullet could not be determined at all.
The machine guns opened fire, which instead exposed their target.
One of the paratroopers who landed first, after tearing off the parachute on his body, quickly ran to another parachute more than 30 meters away from him, which was a weapon bag.
From inside he quickly removed the weapon, which was an AT-4 anti-tank missile firing device and four missiles.
Yes, he began to assemble quickly, and in the ensuing battle, in addition to relying on gunships and attack aircraft in the sky, they could also rely on these "heavy" equipment of their own, which was more suitable and timely than air support when attacking certain places.
Later, another paratrooper also arrived, and the two formed a group of missile firing shè, and before they could assemble it, they heard a burst of gunfire overhead in the distance.
As far as the eye could see, there was a machine gun on the roof of the building, spitting out tongues of fire into the sky.
Damn the Iranians!
"Quick!"
The two paratroopers worked together to erect a folding tripod, a missile that the Soviet Union had only equipped its troops with in the seventies and had been exported to Iraq a few months earlier, with a cartridge and an optical sight on the tripod, and the entire weapon system weighed 12 kilograms, with a maximum range of 2,000 meters, a minimum range of 70 meters, and an armor-piercing thickness of 400 millimeters.
One of the paratroopers shoved the missile into the barrel and prepared it for the shot, while the other lay on the ground, aimed his eyes at the sighting device, and caught the tongue of fire where it spat out.
Kill the Iranians! The paratrooper pulled the trigger, and with a flash of fire around him, a missile flew out of the hair barrel.
The battle of blood and fire was officially staged in Tehran. To be continued
