Chapter 229: The Runway Is Abandoned (Plus Update)
If not your own tank troops, then what else could it be? It must be from the island!
By the time they thought of this, their faces had changed.
In the early days, it was only the airborne troops, even if they came down on a transport plane, it was impossible to have a main battle tank, and the airborne tank was a cute role. Assist an infantry charge, that's pretty much the same, if you face off against the opponent's main tank, you'll definitely die ugly.
Helicopter gunships do have anti-tank capabilities, but in the current foggy weather, they have imposed constraints on their own side, and they are unable to see the target clearly, let alone attack, and if they go down rashly, they are also vulnerable to ambushes by the other side.
When the infantry, meets the tank, what to do?
Run!
Just when their hearts were going up and down, in the dense fog opposite, tanks appeared one after another.
The hull is low, and the turret is cast, but unlike the hemispherical turret of the Soviet Union, their turret has a smaller arc, almost like an inclined plane, and the tall tank gun, recognizable at a glance, is the standard 105mm tank gun of the NATO bloc, which can penetrate all the tanks in service in the Soviet Union!
The tracks on both sides are turning with a clatter, and the multi-fuel engine in the tail is emitting puffs of black smoke, this kind of tank is the latest main tank of the island country's troops.
Type 74!
The first generation of tanks of the island country after World War II was the Type 61 tank, and its appearance only solved the problem of existence and absence, and could not cope with the next danger.
At the same time, the geographical environment of the island country itself determines that it cannot directly introduce mature tanks from abroad to use, because the island country has a small territory and limited bridge load-bearing, and Western tanks are generally tall and heavy.
After more than ten years of development, it was finalized in September 1974 and officially named Type 74 by the Island Ground Self-Defense Force, and entered service in September of that year.
Although five years have passed now, the upgrading of equipment in the island countries is very slow, because their production is low, and up to now, the total production of Type 74 is less than 300 vehicles, which is simply not worth mentioning compared with the scale of tens of thousands of Soviet vehicles.
However, no matter how many tanks the Soviet Union has, it can't get through, and before the port of Chuanlu is not controlled, the Soviet tanks will not fly over, Type 74, here is an invincible existence!
"Da Da Da!" Just after discovering them, the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun was flattened on the top of the tank, and the loader operated the machine gun there, firing wildly at the Soviet soldiers on this side.
In an instant, they fell, and there was no time to react, and at this point, surprise had overcome fear.
Tanks, tank troops of the islanders! What does this say about these tank units, which were supposed to be in the north and west of Hokkaido?
The islanders have set up an ambush here! It's a trap here!
"Boom!" There was another loud bang, in the sky, a giant An-22 transport plane flying over next, was planning to land in all directions, the pilot had already seen the runway lights, but this loud noise broke the pilot's dream of landing safely.
The An-22 is a heavy transport aircraft, so a Stinger did not cause absolute damage to it, as the warheads scattered out of the fragmented rod warhead towards the belly of the aircraft, the belly was hit to a thousand holes, and then, in the belly position, the skin suddenly cracked open.
The mechanical strength was not enough, the skin was rotten, and the passengers in the transport plane suddenly screamed at this moment.
Even if it is a soldier, when faced with death, he will cry out, which is human instinct.
A big hole appeared in the middle, and in an instant, a strong suction force appeared, and the people in this vicinity didn't have time to react at all, and were directly sucked out by this suction force, and when they flew out of the cabin, there was a scream.
There are no parachutes, and the altitude above the ground is very low, so there is no chance to open a parachute.
The people who were sucked out fell from the sky, and afterwards, dozens of corpses were cleaned up on the grass a kilometer away from the airport.
The rest of the people were tightly pulling the handrails beside them to resist the attraction, and the transport plane was still flying towards the runway.
There is simply no other choice, landing, must land!
After receiving a portable anti-aircraft missile, the An-22 transport plane was still landing strongly, and the pilot looked at the runway in front of him, and fell, he must fall!
"The landing gear is not responding!"
"We landed on the belly!"
The captain was still insisting, he took over the control, personally operated the control stick, and the An-22 transport plane continued to descend with fearless heroism.
If they can land safely, then they can greatly increase the strength on the ground, clear the surrounding militants, protect the arrival of the follow-up troops, and if they can't land safely, then there is no possibility of turning the tables!
The guide on the ground was also looking at the transport plane, and from his side, there was a huge hole in the belly of the transport plane, which made people feel thrilled when they looked at it.
The only good thing is that there is no fire there, as long as there is no fire, then you are not afraid, there is still a chance, land, land!
Under the attention of the guide, the An-22 transport plane descended and descended again with a graceful arc, and finally made contact with the runway.
"Click!"
With this sound, the front half of the nose suddenly cocked, raising its head like a cobra, and the back, still continuing to pan forward, the fuselage was split into two sections!
The explosion of the missile just now injured its main structure, and the impact of the landing completely broke it.
A flame suddenly burst out of the fracture, and this huge transport plane soon ignited a raging fire.
At the same time, it continued to slide forward, and the fire, flying forward on the runway, looked so spectacular.
And the people inside, there is no such feeling, this is the last few seconds of their life, just the impact, broke the fuselage, at the same time, the fuel tank also began to leak, once the aviation fuel burned, they simply did not survive.
At such times, they should envy those who fall out, fall to death and burn to death, or it is more cruel to burn to death.
The landing failure of the An-22 has another terrible consequence, this runway is abandoned, and the transport aircraft behind it can no longer land!
This operation was already hasty, and this battle to take advantage of the foggy weather to land at Kushiro Airport was destined to be risky, if the opponent was unprepared, it would be a miracle soldier, and if the opponent was prepared, it would be a dead end.
