Chapter 414: Repeated rehearsals
A huge transport plane, with a thick body, was slowly gliding down from the distant sky.
At this time, it was already dark and there was silence all around.
"Steady, just like usual." In the cabin, Nathan said to Jenny.
"Understood." Jenny's mentality is indeed very good, and after a few days of take-off and landing training, now, it is finally the turn of the real drill.
This huge C-5 Galaxy transport plane, in the belly, stuffed with dozens of vehicles, and a team of more than 200 people, and now, they are fully armed.
Historically, Operation Eagle Claw has failed, and they have not seriously simulated training at all, but simply formulated an incredibly complex operation, and then started, as if it could easily succeed.
Now, they have gone through repeated simulation training, and tonight's time is a real combat drill.
Landing at night is much more difficult than during the day, and the runway lights are turned on at the airport, and when you land in the lights, the psychological stress will increase.
And behind, there are more than 200 people, with so much equipment, if they can't land successfully, it may be a serious accident.
In this case, Nathan still handed over the task to Jenny, he was very relieved of Jenny, in the past few days, Jenny's progress has surprised Nathan, if Jenny changes her career to become a pilot, she will definitely be able to fly this kind of giant transport plane.
The runway in front of me was getting closer and closer, and finally, the wheels were in perfect contact with the runway below, and the voice of the tower came from the headphones: "Landing beautifully!" ”
"Quick, quick, quick!" Just as the plane came to a stop, the front and rear doors were opened at the same time, and in the sound of urging, one by one the vehicles drove out.
Wheeled vehicles are coming out from behind, and with the help of the plane formed by the opening of the hatch, they are rumbling out, and the one in front is even flying out.
That's right, Allison's car was at the front, and in the cabin, he had already increased the gear to third gear, almost flew out of the cabin, and then rumbled forward in the bumps.
Who can stand in the way? They're much faster than the BS guys, who are fanatical, but they haven't had any training.
At the same time, from the front hatch, out of the Sheridan tank.
The M551 light tank, also known as the Sheridan tank, was developed in the early 60s, the first prototypes were made at the end of 1962 and delivered to the troops for testing in early 1963, and by 1967 it was partially equipped with the US armored cavalry (reconnaissance) battalion.
As a light tank, its hull is welded with 7039 aluminum armor, which greatly reduces its weight, and its small body carries a 152mm thick cannon, like smoking a big cigar.
Its total combat weight is only 15 tons, so it is suitable for armored reconnaissance units and airborne divisions, and also provides fire support in areas where the main battle tanks cannot be deployed during combined arms operations.
Tanks were also indispensable for this operation, and they were mainly used to protect transport aircraft, as well as to capture the tower and occupy the entire airfield.
The front and rear were moving, the tank units quickly deployed, protecting the aircraft, and at the same time headed towards the tower, while most of the cars were rumbling towards the embassy dozens of kilometers away.
Suddenly, on the side of the runway, rows of mannequins appeared, and the tanks on this side immediately started their machine guns and shot at them.
They have already torn their faces, what are they afraid of, as long as someone dares to impact, then knock them down! Let's see if they have more people or if they have more bullets!
In this operation, they have already made up their minds.
After an hour and a half, the distant roar came again, and one by one the M151 cars had begun to return, and in their convoy, there were several more buses, which, according to the pre-plan, were the original vehicles parked in the embassy.
Of course, if these vehicles are not available, they can also use their own vehicles to transport them, but they will be a little squeezed. Next, get back to the plane!
If the equipment continues to be loaded, it will take time, so everyone got out of the car, ran to the plane, and at the same time as the cabin door began to close, the C-5 transport plane began to slide.
"In two hours at most, we will be able to complete this rescue operation." After returning and landing again, the warriors, who had been tossing for the middle of the night, did not rest, but continued to analyze.
"No, we need to go faster, move faster, and if the back and forth can be completed in an hour, the risk can be greatly reduced." Beckway said.
After all, it is the enemy's capital, and once the other party reacts and organizes a large number of men to besiege it, it will still be extremely thrilling, and the shorter this time, the better it will be for them.
"It's not enough to just shorten the time." Emily also followed the analysis: "What we need more is to cut off all their communication and make their command poor, if at this time, there are electronic jammers from the Air Force to join, the success rate will be higher." ”
The marches, riots, and sieges of the embassy by those people were definitely not spontaneous, they were organized, and there were people behind them, and as long as their command network was disrupted and their communication was not smooth, they could buy time for their own rescue.
After all, as long as you land at the other party's international airport, you will immediately stab the hornet's nest, and even if all the communications in the airport are cut off, someone will still report the news.
Air force? The Air Force only gave planes, not even pilots, counting on them to dispatch electronic jammers, not to mention.
Of course, the Navy also has electronic jammers, but the Navy's electronic jammer is EA-6B, which has a small body and a short range, so it cannot fly to the capital of the BS country at all, compared to the EF-111 of the Air Force, with a range of up to 3700 kilometers, it is absolutely no problem to fly back and forth.
"Perhaps, we can try to land somewhere else." At that moment, Jenny spoke again: "If we don't go to the international airport, it won't alarm them." ”
Nathan shook his head, it was absolutely impossible.
Those with the ability to take off and land at front-line field airfields are medium-range transport aircraft like the C130 and strategic transport aircraft like the C-5 Galaxy, which do not have the ability to take off and land at field airfields, and are very dangerous.
It is precisely because of these needs that the US Air Force is also bidding, and finally the C-17 transport aircraft was born, which can not only have the cargo size of C-5, but also have the short take-off and landing capabilities of C-130, and can take off and land on sandy runways in the field, but this kind of aircraft, that is already in the eighties.
Now, for the time being, there is still no such aircraft, and it is worth the loss to risk it with the C-5.
