Chapter 1437 Paratroopers descend from the sky

The four-engine Pel-8 bomber has appeared from the horizon.

Of course it was not here to bomb the oil field. At this time, the cabin of the Pet-8 bomber was filled with dense soldiers. Their faces were serious and their will was extremely firm.

In history, the Soviet Union was the first country to have airborne troops. At that time, during the parade of the Moscow, the airborne troops landed from the sky, shocking the entire Western world. At that time, the Pet-8 bomber was used.

A crisis occurred in the Baku oil field and was actually snatched by a group of Iranians!

The Supreme Command made emergency arrangements, and in addition to ordering Huo Mingke to attack with his life, he also mobilized the airborne army.

The biggest advantage of airborne troops is their high mobility. At this time, no matter what ground troops are mobilized, they can only quickly reach the Baku oil field from the air.

As the most important energy source of the Soviets, they dispatched a whole army and airborne the Fourth Army.

The army was in charge of the 8th Brigade, the 9th Brigade and the 24th Brigade, with about 10,000 people. In order to succeed this operation, they were directly commanded by Major General Grazunov, the commander of the airborne troops. Their mission was to airborne the oil field and kill the enemies here!

Although the Soviet Union established an airborne army-scale troops, they lacked enough large transport aircraft. Until now, the Soviet Union could not produce any large transport aircraft. Only the Pei-8, which had unreliable performance, was the main force in their transportation.

It is not enough to rely solely on the P-8. In addition, a large number of Li-2 transport aircraft can only transport a brigade and a battalion at a time.

Now, inside the transport plane is the 2nd Battalion of the 8th Airborne Brigade, with a total of 38 people.

The Li-2 transport aircraft can only transport 25 soldiers at a time, while the Pei-8 bomber can only stuff 23 soldiers in. In an emergency, it is already the best effort for the Soviet Air Force to mobilize dozens of aircraft.

Why is the 4-engine P-8 bomber not as many as the dual-engine Li-2 transporter? Just look at their status and you will know.

The battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion, Vlasov, was the first to climb out of the bomber's loss.

When they took off, they sat in the bomb bay below. Now, they need to slowly climb from the bomb bay to the connected turret behind.

When it came out of the turret on the back of the aircraft, Vlasov felt a gust of wind blowing on his head. At this time, the Pet-8 bomber had already flown smoothly.

He climbed forward along the fuselage, climbed forward, and climbed to the wing in front.

Behind him, a famous paratrooper did the same movements as him, as if he was playing acrobatics in the air.

They had to do that because the Pé-8 was a bomber.

The best way to jump is to go on a transport plane with the door open at the tail. As long as a person jumps out, he will run backwards under the influence of air resistance and fly downwards under the influence of gravity, which is completely safe.

However, there is no cabin door at the tail of the Pei-8. In order to parachute on the Pei-8, the airborne soldiers explored the most incredible method, which was to slide down from the wings!

At this time, the Pet-8 bomber was not fast, only more than 200 kilometers per hour, creating the best opportunity for the paratroopers. A famous paratrooper climbed onto the wings, as if it was an acrobatic team.

"The parachute begins!"

In the strong wind, Vlasov sat up. When he got up, he slid towards the rear end of the wing under the wind. He placed his hands on his chest and prepared his posture. The speed became faster and faster. Then, he fell from the wing.

He closed his eyes, not wanting to see the rear wing rushing towards him, as if he could cut him open. When he counted to three, he opened his eyes.

Get off the plane normally!

He pulled the parachute rope. When the parachute was opened, his whole body was pulled and he successfully opened the parachute!

Above his head, the paratrooper who was doing the same movement as him, slid towards the rear end of the wing.

A paratrooper had an incorrect posture, but as a result, he rolled a few times and fell down!

He struggled hard in the air, balancing his body, but his body was still rolling. As the drop height became lower and lower, he could no longer help and pulled the parapet rope.

The parachute did not open, and after the parachute was pulled out, he wrapped around him. He fell down like a big stone.

He jumped down, but he was the first to land. Looking at this companion, everyone was in a heavy mood.

Being a paratrooper is the most dangerous. They have death indicators when they are training.

This is the first Pet-8. When it started to fall, the other planes following behind also began to parachute. Compared with Pet-8 and Li-2, it is much easier to parachute.

The side door of the cabin opened, and the paratroopers hugged their arms tightly, and they jumped down.

On the landing ground, dense parachutes continued to appear.

Of course they wouldn't jump directly over the oil field. If that were the case, the ground defenders could kill them by firing a rifle and shooting at their parachutes.

The landing ground is still a distance away from the oil field! After landing, they must quickly gather their formation, form a combat formation, and advance towards the oil field.

After they landed, the transport planes would return and transport other troops one after another. The entire 8th Brigade needed more than 2,500 people to airborne the transport planes, and it would be not enough for a day to airborne the entire army.

They were airborne in an orderly manner, and the Iranian army on the side would certainly not watch them complete the assembly!

"Quick, go and kill them!" Reinhardt said: "Where is our plane? Why haven't it arrived yet?"

As expected, they had to persevere until dawn, because after dawn, the air force would arrive, provide them with additional firepower support, and persevere until the arrival of the ground forces.

But who knows that before the arrival of our own air force, the Soviets actually dropped their troops, and the Soviets responded very quickly!

In the night battle, five or six infantry fighting vehicles were lost. Now, the remaining infantry fighting vehicles immediately started and headed towards the paratrooper landing ground!

The advantage of paratroopers is mobility, and the disadvantage of paratroopers is their ability to assemble again. Paratroopers are quite dangerous when they land. When paratroopers land, they are very fragile when they gather.
