However, as the transport plane gradually approached, Vlamir's face suddenly changed: "No one is allowed to fire, pay attention to concealment, and protect yourself!"

He had already seen through the binoculars the side doors that were open on those planes.

If it is an airborne force, the tailgate of the aircraft should be opened. The tailgate that turns down is a good airborne platform for the airborne force.

But now, the other party actually opened the side door, which meant that it was not a transport plane, but an aerial gunboat of the U.S. Air Force!

As soon as Vlamir finished speaking, he saw dense firepower appearing from the sides of the flying planes, making intensive tentative sweeps in all directions.

Vlamir's words only reached the mercenaries and Cuban soldiers, but the local troops in Grenada did not receive this instruction.

The Grenada soldiers, who couldn't wait any longer, began to manipulate the weapons in their hands, shooting violently into the air.

However, in doing so, they exposed their fire targets, and then they were mercilessly hit by fire from the sky.

Attacking the sky from the ground, the possibility of hitting is very small. Even if it hits, the large-caliber machine guns that are mainly used to deal with paratroopers are ineffective against fast-flying aircraft with armor on the bottom.However, it is very easy for air gunships with advanced targeting equipment to strike the ground from the sky.

Under the attack of the air gunboat, the anti-air fire points that fired just now were cleared one by one by them. They carried out this work very easily.

"Captain, let's use anti-aircraft missiles!" A soldier said, seeing the American planes wreaking havoc, the Soviet fighters were angry.

"No, pay attention to concealment, it's time for us to start after a while." Vlamir said.

The use of anti-aircraft missiles cannot completely solve the problem, because the anti-aircraft missiles they have on hand are limited, and as long as they fire into the air, they will be hit back violently at the next moment. They are not afraid of death, but they must die have to make sense.

Their target is the American paratroopers. They are not the air force and cannot compete with these American planes.

Bear with it, and it's over. As long as the Americans think this place is safe and the firepower below is cleared, they will definitely parachute. At that time, those American soldiers who jumped out of the cabin, let them bear this depression!

Fly-like U.S. planes overhead flew away, and another group came. The attack planes of the U.S. Navy also rushed to the battlefield, and fired at the ground again, uncovering several hidden firepower points. Fly away again.

As the third batch of attack planes flew over, they believed that the ground had been cleared and their airborne troops could reach the battlefield smoothly.

Vlamir, who was hiding in the bunker, heard the sound of a large fleet flying overhead again, and his heart was agitated. The Americans still couldn't hold back, and they finally dispatched!

"Prepare, this time we will do something big and bloom the Americans in the sky." Volamir came out of the bunker carefully, watching the slow planes flying in the sky, they actually chose Landing at such a low altitude!

"Get into position immediately and prepare to fire into the air," he ordered eagerly.

In order to shorten the airborne time, the airborne troops usually start airborne with several planes at the same time. Vlamir originally wanted to wait for all the opponents to airborne, and when they did not land, they opened fire in full force, so as not to frighten the subsequent paratroopers away and dare not land. However, the opponent's airborne altitude is very low now. If everyone parachutes, then the one who parachuted first may have already landed.

No choice but to prepare to fire immediately!

Looking at the empty airport below, the U.S. airborne troops had no time to hesitate. They eagerly lined up one by one, and jumped out from the two sides of the tail along the open tail hatch. It only took one jump. , the rear parachute will be pulled apart by the hook on the upper part of the tail compartment, and the parachute will appear.

At such a low altitude, if you jump out by yourself, relax your mind, and then open the parachute, maybe you will fall before you land at a low enough speed.

More than 300 people from the first mobile battalion in front jumped out of the cabin one by one.

Seeing that the umbrella flowers had spread out in the sky, a beautiful smile appeared on Vlamir's face: "All anti-aircraft firepower, let's fire together!"

"The landing is normal."

"Our paratroopers have all jumped out of the cabin. The Second Ranger Battalion can continue to parachute."

"Okay, let's enter the airborne zone immediately."

"Oh shit, there's gunfire on the ground!"

The C-130 transport aircraft does not have the thick armor of the AC-130E. After the pilots saw the flames flying from the ground, they immediately started to accelerate and climb away from this terrible firepower net. Looking at the density, there may be dozens of them. Intensive firepower for air!Those idiots, how did they clear the anti-aircraft fire on the ground!

At this time, the pilots no longer cared about the fate of the soldiers who had parachuted, as long as they left the cabin, it had nothing to do with them.

At this time, the paratroopers had become targets of anti-aircraft fire on the ground, and many of them were killed by ground fire while they were still in the sky.

This is a death landing!

There are also some paratroopers, who are fine, but the parachutes above their heads have been sieved, unable to hold the air, and their own bodies are falling rapidly. Since they are very close to the ground, they have no chance to pull out the spares. The parachute has already been smashed into meatloaf.

……

"The biggest threat to the airborne troops is the ground air defense firepower, which is why we need to equip the airborne troops with armed helicopters." Qusay said: "Before airborne, we must first clear the ground air defense firepower, so the armed helicopters The task is very arduous, and before that, our intelligence work must also be accurate, and we must fully understand the firepower deployment at the airborne site. Then, we can find the target and strike. At the same time, one of our plans can be successfully carried out. The key is the surprise attack! Therefore, our specific plan must be strictly kept secret."

Although the Airborne Regiment has already started intensive preparations and training, for the specific combat missions, including the Minister of Defense Adnan, they have not heard the specific orders from His Excellency Qusay, so these days, they have been All in the dark.

Now, they couldn't hold it anymore, Adnan first asked: "Your Excellency Qusay, our airborne troops, where are we going to suddenly appear after such intense training?"

Looking at his subordinates, Qu Sai knew that it was finally time for him to convey his plan to them, and that the specific detailed work would be completed by them.

"We're parachuting into Tehran," Qusay said. "At the Tehran Air Force Base, the Tehran zhèngfǔ building, and the Tehran Ministry of Defense, we will drop from the sky and take all of these places."

Tehran!Everyone was shocked. It is impossible to achieve the original strategic goal in the battle of the northern military region. However, His Excellency Qusay proposed a march that no one dared to imagine: the airborne troops occupied Tehran!

Adnan frowned, using a newly formed unit with only more than 2000 airborne troops to completely take Tehran, the danger is very great!

Chapter 538 Battle Plan

"Your Excellency Qusay, we only use 2000 airborne troops to attack Tehran. I'm afraid it will be very difficult, right?" Although Qusay's reputation as the God of War has already spread throughout Iraq, as the Minister of Defense, as the Sai's confidant, Adnan felt that it was necessary for him to remind him not to be confused by the victory in front of him.

"Yes, although Iran's military strength is already very weak under our several offensives, where is the total population of Iran? If Iran is aggressive, it will be easy for Iran to organize more armed forces. The dead young soldiers, now, Iran still has nearly [-] troops in Tehran, so if we want to win, we must send out surprise soldiers." Qusay said.

Surprise?If I had known earlier, Qu Sai would definitely have a unique move.

"The airborne troops are the sharpest daggers, and we use them where we need them most, because if we attack Tehran head-on, let alone the advancing speed of the troops, even if we reach the outskirts of Tehran, we will receive the most fierce resistance. , What we are most afraid of is that the Iranians will fight with us in the streets. In this case, our weapon advantages will not be used at all, and our casualties will be very large." Qusay said: "We want to avoid heavy casualties, so we must Reusing our original tactics."

The original tactic?The generals remembered that Abadan, who had been unable to attack for a long time, was successfully lured out by Qusay, but will the Iranians be fooled a second time?

"Your Excellency Qusay, Tehran is the capital of Iran, and it may not be easy to lure out the defenders there," the air force commander said.

"Yes, it is not easy to lead directly, but if we attack the area south of Tehran, do you think the Iranians will send reinforcements?" Qusay said.

Having said that, everyone understands that his chief wants to punish Iran to death!

"We have already arrived in Hamadan. As long as we send troops to the southeast, the Iranian army in Tehran will definitely be dispatched," Qusay said.

"However, even so, I'm afraid we can't use the airborne troops to complete this mission, right?" Taha asked: "Even if the Iranians send reinforcements, they will leave at least half of them in Tehran. I am afraid it will not be so fast to carry out heavy weapons, and as long as the Iranians come to their senses and withdraw to Tehran before our heavy troops arrive, we will still have a lot of resistance."

"Don't forget, we also have a team of native Iranians." Qusay said, "They can pretend to be a support army from Qazvin, passing through the border between Qazwin and Zhongyāng Province, When they get a hundred kilometers away from Tehran, that's when our paratroopers move."

No wonder Your Excellency Qusay attaches so much importance to that army, it turns out that he wants that army to go to the battlefield!

"Moreover, our airborne troops mainly control the airport, zhèngfǔ building and the Ministry of National Defense. As long as these places are fully controlled, then we can control the key points of Tehran. Moreover, after we control the airport, the later Some of the troops can also be transferred through the airport."

Why control the airport?Because, with the airport, there will be follow-up personnel arriving continuously!With the continuous joining of follow-up personnel and the Iranian National Liberation Army, as long as they hold on to the first day, then the Iraqi heavy troops can reach Tehran!

At that time, Tehran will take it down, and with a little effort to sweep away Iran's high-level officials, will this Iran-Iraq war end in such a dignified way?

After listening to Qusay's words, the high-level Iraqi figures at the scene showed joyful expressions on their faces. They did not expect that His Excellency Qusay would occupy Tehran in this way. They seemed to have seen that the whole of Iran has already All integrated into the territory of Iraq.
