Chapter 1686: The 1st Brigade of the Airborne Division Is Dispatched

When the Imperial Guards began their operations, one-third of the huge fleet of transport planes headed to South Sudan directly separated from the fleet, adjusted their course, and flew towards the east.

The First Brigade of the Airborne Division of the Red Police Corps is also the predecessor of the Airborne Division. It is a professional airborne force composed of elites drawn from various units. Every soldier in the Airborne Division is an elite who has been on the battlefield.

On the plane of the First Brigade of the Airborne Division, the soldiers inside were closing their eyes and resting their minds. In the cabin of the Kunpeng transport plane, there was no noisy environment like other transport planes. It is more comfortable than a passenger plane.

There is still one hour before the planned airborne landing, so all the airborne troops are still in a state of rest, because the next time may be a long non-rest state, seize the time to grasp every time period that can be rested, It is already the most important skill belonging to the airborne troops.

The Red Police Corps is not made of iron. It will be tired and sleepy. Only by maintaining a strong spirit can it be possible to ensure a strong combat effectiveness.

"Attention all personnel, attention all personnel, I am Brigadier General Xiao Yang, and now I am reporting urgent content."

The voice of Brigadier General Xiao Yang (guest star of the book friend's real name), the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Airborne Division appeared on every Kunpeng transport plane.

Whether it was a transport plane transporting heavy equipment or a plane transporting paratroopers, everyone opened their eyes at the same time and began to concentrate, listening to the next sound in the cabin.

"Now that we have received an urgent order, our first brigade will change the airborne target, cancel the original airborne search mission, and instead airborne Mogadishu, Somalia, to implement armed control and combat orders. The primary goal is to completely control Mogadishu .

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time since the establishment of the airborne division that the commander personally delivered the combat order of our first brigade. It is also the first time that the airborne division has carried out a foreign combat mission. The situation in Mogadishu is very complicated, with intertwined warlord forces and many armed personnel. For us, it is a very severe test to test the real combat effectiveness of our airborne troops.

Paratroopers are born to perform dangerous missions, but for us, any danger is an obstacle that must be overcome. During this airborne combat mission, Shangfeng’s meaning is very simple, remove all armed and dangerous sources, and control this city..."

As soon as Xiao Yang's voice fell, soldiers cheered from every cabin. The paratroopers have always performed the most dangerous job on the battlefield. Finding people is not the job of the paratroopers at all.

As soon as I heard that there is a combat mission, the fanatical side of every airborne soldier,

Almost all were inspired.

There was no need for Xiao Yang to mobilize for war, nor did he need to give a speech before the battle. The paratroopers had already started screaming.

"Now everyone has an hour to fully understand the situation in Mogadishu, and then half an hour to make tactical arrangements and preparations. After an hour and a half, the airborne will start. As your brigade commander, I have only one request, quick Resolve the fight and then hope everyone goes home safe and sound."

Following Xiao Yang's words, the personal terminals of the battalion, company and platoon officers and the sergeant major all sounded information prompts, and the Supreme Command issued all the situation in Mogadishu to everyone's hands.

Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, is a city full of armed atmosphere all year round and one of the most unsafe cities in the world.

But Mogadishu is also the most important port city in the northeast corner of Africa. It can dock all kinds of large ships and is a very good deep-water port.

This is also the most valuable area controlled by the Somali government, but there are still complex forces inside. The government only controls a relatively large area of ​​the port, and some of it is controlled by tribal armed forces.

In Mogadishu, various tribal armed forces are mixed, and there are still a large number of terrorist organizations armed. The situation is very complicated, but at present, the armed forces of all parties are relatively calm.

In Mogadishu, there are many armed personnel of all kinds, at least 70,000 to 80,000 people. There are multiple arms markets, and it is also an important base for international arms dealers to smuggle to Africa. Therefore, there are many guns and ammunition in Mogadishu, so The Supreme Command hopes that the airborne brigade can control the situation as soon as possible, so as not to let the war situation continue to expand.

As an aid to this attack, two reinforcement battalions of the Marine Corps, more than 3,000 people, will also directly assist the airborne brigade to fully control Mogadishu. It will be within range after three hours.

The fleet's long-range fire strikes will be launched ten minutes before the airborne, focusing on destroying important military targets in Mogadishu, and one of the primary tasks of the airborne troops is to control the port. For this reason, the Marine Corps will also conduct vertical landings Assistance, there will be carrier-based armed helicopters and peacekeeping bombers to provide comprehensive fire support.

But the really difficult place is in the city, where there are countless armed personnel, bloody battles in the city will be unavoidable.

It is possible to face armed men besieging from all directions, so the paratroopers will enter the city, and the pressure will be quite huge.

To this end, the Supreme Command also mobilized a brigade of vanguard armed warships and aircraft to support and assist.

For the Red Police Corps, this was a very hasty battle. Fortunately, before the battle, the situation in Somalia has always been based on intelligence data, so that it will not be smeared and do not know anything.

Due to the change of mission, the paratroopers on the Kunpeng transport plane also began to organize their equipment and dress. Before that, they were only performing search missions, so every soldier was as lightly equipped as possible.

But now, the equipment must be fully prepared, and the amount of ammunition carried is all rationed according to high-intensity combat needs.

The armed vehicles and tanks on the transport plane also began to conduct combat inspections.

As the latest super transport aircraft of the Red Police Corps, the Kunpeng transport aircraft is known as the strongest airdrop platform under low-Earth orbit. A Kunpeng transport aircraft can even load twelve Grizzly main battle tanks of an airborne tank company at one time.

And the Kunpeng transport plane claims that as long as it can be loaded in, it can be pulled away. In addition to twelve Grizzly tanks, it can also hold dozens of fully armed soldiers, which is a complete airborne armored company. .

As for armored vehicles, that can carry more.

The emergence of the Kunpeng transport aircraft has also set a new record for the maximum carrying capacity of human aircraft.
