Chapter 1047 206 Paratrooper Brigade

"Quick, quick, quick!" In the dark night, lights were shining on the runway, and under the lights, a famous soldier with an umbrella bag was running towards the transport plane.

Belenkonovich, the brigade commander of the 206th Parachute Brigade, looked at the soldiers who were running, full of excitement, and finally it was their turn to go to the battlefield!

The paratroopers are a new branch of the army. They didn't exist during the First World War. They are still very young, and now they are going to show their skills.

The biggest advantage of airborne troops is that they can appear anywhere and have the suddenness of combat. Their counterparts, the Germans, have created several miracles. Now, the Soviet paratroopers will never fall behind.

When he accepted the mission, Belenkonovich knew how important his mission was. Major General Glazunov, the commander of the paratroopers, told him that after the mission was completed, they would be summoned by Comrade Stalin in person!

They have two tasks, dig out the Iranians' lair, rush into the palace, and capture the Shah of Iran, and at the same time, rescue the Soviet soldiers in the palace prison, one of which is the most important.

He still holds the photo on his chest, and he doesn't have much doubts about such a task.

Iran has already transferred their main force to Qazvin. In the capital, Tehran, there is only one Royal Guard. Most of these troops are stand-up soldiers for review, and their real combat effectiveness is quite poor.

In particular, tonight was a sudden attack. When our own side rushed over, maybe the Iranians were still sleeping! They are guarding the mountain pass near Tehran and want to hinder their attack. They would never dream that they would fall from the sky, right?

On the runway of the airport, there are ПС-84-К planes, which are almost identical to the American Douglas DC-3 passenger plane.

In 1936, the Soviet Union purchased the DC-3 passenger aircraft from the United States and requested the manufacturing rights from the Douglas Aircraft Company. The United States agreed based on the principle of reciprocity of the Allies, and the Soviet Union then sent technicians to the Douglas factory in the United States to study.

Later, on the basis of this passenger plane, the Soviet Union made its own imitation, produced a large number of this transport plane, and switched to the Soviet Union's own engine. Now, the current model is specially used for paratroopers.

The number of such planes is not large, but the Soviet aviation department urgently mobilized dozens of planes, enough for a paratrooper brigade to be airdropped at one time.

When all the paratroopers got on the plane, Belenkonovich also walked into the cabin. The Ash-62IR air-cooled single-row radial 9-cylinder piston engines on both sides of the plane made a rumbling sound, and the plane slid on the runway. He ran and rushed into the dark night sky.

In the back, the transport planes took off one after another, according to the scheduled route, across the Caspian Sea, and flew directly to the sky over Tehran!

The northern part of Tehran is full of tall mountains, and although there are some flat areas on the outskirts of Tehran, it will be difficult to parachute there in the dark.

So, the plan of the 206th Parachute Brigade was to fly over Tehran and land in the southern part of Tehran!

The big city of Tehran, even if the lights are restricted, it is easy for the intelligence personnel below to cooperate and provide guidance. As long as you find Tehran, and then fly over Tehran, in their south, there is a large piece of plain. !

They will land quickly, assemble, and then advance towards Tehran. At the same time, dozens of intelligence personnel who have stayed in Tehran in advance will guide them and lead them to the palace!

At that time, the Iranians have not yet reacted, and their prime minister, the king, will be captured by their own side!

With such a beautiful dream, Belenkonovich closed his eyes. Now, he has to save his physical strength.

South of Tehran, the small town of Rey.

This is an ancient city located on the southern outskirts of Tehran, next to the road to Qom. It has a much more prominent history than Tehran and is famous for producing fine pottery.

It can be said that this is an important route of the Silk Road, and it is an important city in ancient Persia. Alexander, Parthians, and Seljuks have all left their footprints here.

It is a pity that under the iron hoofs of the Mongols, the city was massacred here, and then it was completely devastated. Only the mottled Sassanid city walls, the Seljuk period Gongbei tower, the Qajar pilgrimage shrine and the reliefs show its long history.

This city has been in decline, and there are usually no people coming and going, but now, in the dark night, a few figures are walking slowly from the ruins of Rey City.

"Quick, we have to be quick, our plane is coming soon." A leading man said: "As long as we put a flashlight on the ground and guide the air."

In the dark, a fire can guide the plane in the sky. If it is a wilderness, just ignite it directly on the ground.

But not now. It is too close to downtown Tehran. In order to prevent the guards in Tehran from discovering the fire here, they can only use flashlights, the beams of flashlights, shine into the sky, and it is difficult to see from the ground.

Each of them carried several flashlights in their pockets. They also needed to place a certain shape on the ground to be able to guide the air. This shape was a five-pointed star.

Several people were in the open space, posing quickly, unaware that the danger was coming.

Suddenly, one of them felt a little trembling on the ground. When they shone their flashlights in horror, they saw a group of cavalry soldiers running fast not far from their side.

Damn it, run away!

The leading man ran away, wanting to run back to the small town, at least it was easy to hide there, but just two steps away, there was a crisp gunshot behind him, and he was hit!

His body fell weakly in front of him, and several of his companions were surrounded by shining sabres.

"You bastards of the Soviets! Damn it!"

The flashlight rolled to the ground. With the light of the flashlight, when the leading man closed his eyes, he saw that on the road farther away, more cavalry were coming fast, and behind the cavalry, there were also convoys. On the truck, the muzzle of the anti-aircraft machine gun was raised high, looking in the direction of the sky.

Oops, it's a trap! The man closed his eyes and fell into eternal darkness. His body was slowly becoming cold.

The night sky was still dark, and the earth was silent again, as if nothing had happened.
