And that ancient country in the East is actively researching Yunshi in this era, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, it finally died without a problem.

Zhang Feng knows that if Iraq wants to develop, large aircraft are also necessary. In this regard, it can adopt the same method of injecting funds and sharing technology to develop with China.

The supply vehicles that had been waiting by the side immediately transported all kinds of urgently needed supplies to these planes, and the supplies were ready for airdrops.

The first batch is the white snow combat uniforms that are most needed on the front line. After urgent production, the quantity requirement can finally be guaranteed.There are also various foods, and some ammunition.

Two hours later, these planes flew into the sky again. At this time, the logo of the U.S. Air Force on the fuselage had disappeared, and a group of escorting Iraqi Air Force fighter planes appeared around the plane.

These aircraft formations, after departing from the H-3 Air Force Base, headed east, preparing to enter the Bakhtaran area.

The air defense network in eastern Iraq has also been fully activated. If the precious transport planes of the United States have accidents, Iraq will also be in great trouble.

The Mi-24 armed helicopters in the east have already set off and started flying in the mountains of the Iranian plateau.

Due to the turbulence of the airflow, the power of the helicopter on the plateau will drop. It is difficult for the Mi-24 to fly. However, they also took off resolutely and inspected the surrounding areas.

The Iranian Air Force, in the last bombing, has lost its offensive capabilities. Even if they found Iraqi planes, they did not have any good countermeasures.

The company commander of the infantry division led the team to the open space, sent soldiers to search the surrounding area, and, after setting up sentries at the commanding heights, was waiting for the legendary supply to arrive.

The Iranian plateau is really cold!The company commander was wrapped in a military coat and looked at the sky. Will there really be a plane coming?

Suddenly, the company commander heard the sound of propellers scraping the air, and the sound became louder and louder from far to near.

Really a plane?

The company commander raised his head and saw two helicopters he was familiar with, the Mi-24 helicopters imported from the Soviet Union equipped by the Iraqi Air Force!

Just this kind of helicopter, how many can be transported at one time?His entire company was full of field rations consumed by one person in one day.

God forbid, they are not kidding, are they?

The company commander watched helplessly, the helicopter didn't drop anything, it circled around twice, and then flew away.

Then, there was another loud roar from behind, and the company commander raised his head, this time he was stunned.

What a big plane!

The Mi-24 is just a trailblazer, and the one behind is the real aircraft for transporting supplies!

The plane was flying very low, only a few hundred meters above the ground, so it was even more clearly visible.

The soldiers on the ground cheered. Although the company commander was a little puzzled, when did the Air Force have such a big plane?However, according to the prior arrangement, he put three flares into the sky.

The cargo door at the rear of the plane opened, and then, pieces of supplies were dropped by air.

Looking at the umbrella flowers floating in the sky, the company commander shouted loudly: "Look at all of them, and one must not be missing!" He counted, and there were twenty umbrella flowers in the sky.

Most of the supplies landed on a flat area, and two pieces were blown several kilometers away.

However, there is already a platoon of soldiers running with those umbrella flowers, and they must recover those supplies, not one piece is missing!

Seeing the materials fall to the ground, the company commander happily ran over, and opened the packed materials that were half a person's height. Inside were brand new white padded clothes!

It was said earlier that each of them should be given a snow-specific combat uniform. At first, the company commander didn't take it seriously. However, the attacks in the past few days made him deeply feel the importance of this kind of clothing. Important, wearing white clothes will minimize the danger!

"One piece for each person, let's replace it quickly!" The company commander said: "Lieutenant company, you are responsible for distributing it."

He opened several other supplies, some were clothes, some were food, especially when he saw canned beef with other words printed inside, he was even happier. The field rations were too chewy and tasteless. Really good stuff!

The United States supported Iraq's operations by simply bringing some of the food it had in stock and giving it to Iraq for free.

The No.15 Armored Division, which had already left the mountains and entered the valley, was also waiting for the arrival of supplies. They were mechanized troops and had a greater demand for logistical supplies, especially fuel and ammunition.

Both of these supplies are carried out by the C130 transport aircraft.

When the C-130 was designed, it was designed to meet the actual requirements of tactical air transport. Compared with previous transport aircraft, one of the most prominent aspects is the large tail cargo door of the aluminum alloy semi-monocoque fuselage.

Abed, the commander of the No.15 Armored Division, has already arranged the entire site for receiving supplies. The open and flat land is required to arrange dozens of parallel steel cables on the ground. Then, to do a good job of security, they Waiting for the goods to be received.

What are those cables for?neither knows.

They just have to watch.

After waiting for a few hours, the Mi-24 gunship that ushered in first, searched the surrounding thoroughly, and then began to circle the key defensive areas to prevent accidents.

Then, the hum of the distinctive propeller transport aircraft was heard.

Abed looked up, and from the mountains behind, a transport plane flew over.

This is a transport plane with four propeller engines, it looks very big, and the opponent is flying very low and very slow!

Since this is already a wilderness, the transport plane can safely fly at low altitude.

The cargo door at the tail of the C-130 transport aircraft has been opened during the flight. This kind of cargo door with two upper and lower openings is a good cargo airdrop platform when the air door is lowered, especially now. When the airdrop is pulled flat on the ground, it is a good loading and unloading ramp on the ground.

When the C-130 was designed, there was such a tactical requirement that it must be able to perform stable ground-grazing flight at a low speed of 225 kilometers per hour, in preparation for the current delivery of materials.

In the surprised eyes of the Iraqi armored soldiers, they saw a piece of cargo slipping down from the rear cargo door!

They didn't see that after the cargo door was opened, a hook was released, and the other end of the hook was connected to the pallet and the cargo. The hatch is pulled out.

Everything seems very strange.

Even if there is a slope with a tail, even if the speed is very slow, when the cargo comes down, it is still very fast. At this time, the energy absorption system on the pallet starts to work, and the cargo slides forward, then slows down and stops.

Abed was very happy to see the goods that landed safely. The first thing he saw were the four 55-gallon oil drums on a pallet!

With these fuels in hand, it's time to keep fighting!

A C-130 can supply about ten tons of materials to the forward positions in this way, and several C-130s mainly supplied the First Armored Division first.

Not only fuel, this supply method can also replenish all kinds of ammunition, except for the grenade that triggers the fuze.

This air supply was very successful, because the Iranians didn't realize that Iraq would use this supply method, which is simply impossible for Iraq.

Moreover, because the last air strike blew up several Iranian long-range early warning radars, the Iranians' ability to control the western plateau has dropped to the lowest level, while the Iraqis have strictly protected the airborne area and are even more powerful. Armed helicopters patrolled the area, keeping the Iranians out of reach.

Watching the transport plane go away in the sky, Abed was very excited. Originally, his armored force had been lagging behind, and the [-]st Armored Division had been playing the vanguard. Later, the [-]st Armored Division was transferred to defend the north. The Armored Forces had their first day, and now they got supplies again. Next, his task is to take down Bakhtaran!

"No.15 Armored Division, hurry up to replenish supplies immediately, Bakhtaran is only [-] kilometers away from us, we must go to Bakhtaran as soon as possible!" Abed issued an order on the radio.

Chapter 368 Iran Disclosed the Hostage Incident

The U.S. transport planes took off several sorties and delivered all the supplies needed for the front line to the area. Under strict protection, there were no accidents.

The morale of the Iraqi army was once again greatly encouraged.In a world of ice and snow, this is simply sending charcoal in the snow!Because the supplies are sufficient, especially the soldiers are wearing snow combat uniforms, the situation of being sniped by the Iranians has been greatly reduced.
