Chapter 329: A Greeting from the Sky
Forty kilometers north of the border line of 0700 in the morning
The Mi-8 helicopter roared over the jungle, and then, under the skilful operation of the pilot, the helicopter hovered less than a meter above the ground in an extremely cool tail flick emergency stop attitude.
Then, the cabin door was rudely opened, and then Soviet soldiers, heavily armed with RPKS light machine guns, rushed out.
The height of more than one meter is completely insignificant for these airborne soldiers, as if pouring beans, a squad of airborne soldiers unloaded in less than thirty seconds, and then, the back door of the cabin was rudely pushed down several boxes, which were transported to the squad, including ammunition and medicine, in addition, each soldier also carried a huge backpack, which also contained various supplies.
The entire airborne corps squad was automatically divided into a guard group and a transport group without an order, and the alert group advanced outward for tens of meters and established a semicircular temporary defensive position, while the transport group quickly dragged the boxes into the grass to cover them.
After these tasks, the entire airborne squad quickly dispersed and hidden, until a few hours later, the Mi-8 helicopter returned again, and then unloaded the personnel and supplies as before. Look at the book
After three round-trips, a platoon of the 213th Company arrived, and then, under the leadership of the platoon commander, the squad quickly rushed to the temporary road ten kilometers away with supplies.
Thanks to the Ballelaika reconnaissance, the helicopter dropped the combat unit into the heart of the zone of control without alarming the guerrillas in the forest at all.
At the same time, Captain Balleika, who had set off earlier, had already crossed the area of de facto control of the government forces with the remaining two or three platoons in seven BD1 paratrooper fighting vehicles, making a ninety-degree detour along the desert and wasteland to the southeast, avoiding a guerrilla-controlled silver mine, and then successfully joining up with a platoon that had established a temporary supply support point in the hinterland.
"Those Americans are probably still sleeping!"
"Don't be careless, our opponent has a lot of firepower!"
The captain sat on the first paratrooper fighting vehicle in a dark green poncho with an SVD sniper rifle in his arms.
Before starting the operation, she checked the relevant information again, and found that she seemed to underestimate the Shadow Company, whose firepower is simply extravagant, after all, there is a stable source of arms, so in order to strengthen the firepower, she also brought four 82mm mortars from the Mozambican government army, which are now placed on the roof of the car as parts, in addition, she also informed the government army that when they move, the government army will send battalion-sized troops to make a feint.
After a little rest, the paratrooper tanks were replenished with fuel, and the 213 company continued to advance, where they were still twenty-five kilometers from the guerrilla base camp.
If it were on a staggered front, the 213 Company might have to go a long way in these 25 kilometers, but for the guerrillas who did not know that they had already entered their homes, these 25 kilometers were an hour's time.
This is not even enough time for the guerrillas to react!
Not long after the departure from the supply point, the convoy encountered busy civilians, these local natives did not panic when they saw the steel chariot, but stood numbly and watched the chariot pass by them, but some children who didn't know anything wanted to chase the chariot, and then they were led by the chocolate thrown by the airborne soldiers sitting in the car.
"They won't expose us, will they?"
"No, they don't even know who we are!"
"yes, then these people really don't know whether they are lucky or pitiful!"
An Airborne Corps soldier looked at the children who were sharing chocolate, then looked up at the clouds that had begun to concentrate at some point, and whispered.
"It's going to rain!"
Within ten minutes of the convoy moving forward, the rain began to fall cracklingly, and although the rain was heavy, it did not slow down the convoy in the slightest, and the airborne troops were all wearing ponchos and weapons were tightly protected in their arms.
When the guerrillas found out that something was wrong, it was when the convoy was still twelve kilometers away from the base, and several guerrilla soldiers had just gone out to the town to do some trouble
Good food and wine, and then several people drove a battered second-hand pickup truck to return to the base, and collided with the airborne troops at a fork in the road.
The guerrillas in the car thought it was new equipment from the mercenaries, and a daring guy poked his head out of the window and shouted, after which a paratrooper stopped and turned the turret towards them.
"Da ........."
Because it was just a civilian vehicle, the paratrooper tank did not use a 73mm smoothbore gun, but fired several short bursts with a coaxial machine gun, and the hapless partisan soldiers were beaten into honeycomb coal along with the car.
The gunfire did not cause any commotion in the rain, and even the heavy rain drowned out the sound of the engine, so when the convoy reached only a few hundred meters from the checkpoint, the guerrilla soldiers hiding in the bunker heard the sound of the engine.
Then, the paratrooper tank stopped, the airborne troops immediately jumped out and began an offensive formation, and before the partisans at the checkpoint understood what was happening, 73-mm fixed-mounted tail stabilized armor-piercing shells bombarded them.
"Enemy attack!"
The guerrilla soldiers at the checkpoint looked at their comrades who were bombarded by the shells, and their slightly sluggish brains were a little sobered by the heavy rain, and then they began to raise their messy weapons in their hands and start shooting indiscriminately.
And by this time, the paratrooper fighting vehicle, which had just missed the outpost bunker because of one shell, had finished loading and fired a second shell.
The shell blew up the upper half of the bunker, but the main body of the bunker still stood still, and the commander who couldn't hold back immediately replaced it with the SEG anti-tank missile on the roof.
Then, the standing bunker flew into the sky along with the mess of debris inside.
The airborne troops, who had already disembarked earlier, completed the deployment of the battle formation, and under the cover of other BD1 paratrooper fighting vehicles, surrounded the entire checkpoint.
In less than three minutes of firefighting, the guerrillas at the checkpoint were killed and wounded, and two unlucky people who tried to escape into the jungle were shot in the head with an SVD rifle by Baleleika.
And during this period, the guerrilla soldiers did not even have time to warn the rear bases, and even their hands were closed, and no one would operate them at all.
"Let's look good at the captives, let's move on!"
The captain was extremely satisfied with today's operation, and the 213th Company had once again successfully completed its mission, and had not suffered any casualties so far.
"Let's go, comrades, let's go on the offensive!"
