Chapter 1048 Change Location
An ordinary-looking manor in the eastern suburbs of Tehran.
If you don't take a closer look, there is no difference between the place and the usual time, but if you use a night vision device to observe, you can see that there are already a large number of guards hiding in the dark around the manor. In their hands, They are all MP40 submachine guns.
This manor has become the temporary residence of the Shah of Iran. At this time, the protection of the Shah of Iran and his family, as well as the high-level Iranians, is a German special force that has just arrived.
"We got Tchaikov's report that they found the inner response of the Soviets and planned to set up a parachute site in the south of our Tehran." At this moment, Prime Minister Mansour said to King Reza Khan.
Tonight is bound to be a thrilling night! Reza Khan looked at a German man with a scarred face beside him, and said in admiration, "Skorzeny, your judgment is really too accurate!"
The Soviets wanted to parachute troops, which has been confirmed. However, there is no further information to indicate where the Soviets will parachute. Scarface just glanced at the map and told Iran with great certainty. People, the parachute location is not in the north as they envisioned, but in the south!
Then, the cavalry quickly dispatched, and they really found an internal response, which could not help but admire Reza Khan.
"This is our most basic duty, otherwise how can we keep you safe," Skorzeny said.
Germany will not continue to dispatch large troops, but there is no problem in dispatching some small troops, especially the "Griffin" special forces in Skorzeny, which happened to be nearby, so they rushed there and took on the responsibility of the Iranian royal family. The task of being a bodyguard, and at the same time thwarting this sneak attack by the Soviets.
Skorzeny was not well-known in the German army, because he was wet and dry, and these things could not be known to the outside world, so he was unknown, but if it was judgement, and cunning in marching and fighting, Skorzen was Erzeny is definitely number one.
He only needs to look at the map and analyze various situations to know the most suitable place for parachuting. In particular, Skorzeny is a veteran of special operations, and parachuting operations are also considered special operations. kind of.
"For parachuting at night, there must be ground guidance. Now, I suggest that we quickly follow the guidance signals of the Soviets and rearrange them. Let's rearrange the guidance points and arrange the guidance signals in the widest part of the Sefid River. Sample?"
Skorzeny's hand pointed to a location on the map, which was only eight kilometers away from the original Soviet landing site. For an aircraft in the sky, an error of eight kilometers was too common during navigation.
Skorzeny's words were very bland, but everyone present was trembling. This scarred-faced man is indeed a ruthless character!
"Yes, just do it!" Reza Khan agreed immediately. This is simply too thoughtful. Let those Soviet airborne soldiers jump into the river and drown!
time flies.
In the sky, the transport planes are flying smoothly. Because of the mountains in northern Iran, they cannot descend the altitude, but at the same time, the mountainous environment of Iran will greatly limit the use of radar.
The Germans already have advanced radars that can be used to detect aircraft. However, the use of radars is also subject to great restrictions. Such mountainous areas are simply forbidden areas for radars.
They don't worry about being detected by radar, so they don't have to worry about being intercepted by night fighters. If the Iranians have night fighters, now, the most important thing for them is to find a landing site. pilots.
As the pilot aircraft, the pilot of the first transport aircraft was highly concentrated at this time.
Since it is a transport plane, there is no transparent navigator cabin on the nose, and the pilots above have a rather small field of vision. They must find Tehran before they can continue their flight and find the parachute site.
Due to the last Soviet bombing, Tehran has implemented a night light control, but don't worry, the Soviet intelligence personnel are ready!
Sure enough, on the correct heading, the pilot saw the flickering light below, just the light of the flashlight, which was quite clear to the pilot's vision.
The flashlight is not always on, but flashes constantly, three short and three long, which means the signal is correct!
This is not directly above Tehran. After all, although it is night, they are also afraid of being intercepted by ground anti-aircraft artillery. Once they are seized by searchlights, transportation opportunities will be very troublesome.
The trajectory of their voyage was from the west of Tehran.
"Attention, we are about to fly over Tehran, and there will be a parachute in three minutes, please prepare." The captain sent a signal to the soldiers behind through the in-plane broadcast.
Hearing this voice, all the paratroopers squatting inside the cabin stood up. At this time, each of them had a serious expression.
Skydiving is dangerous. Even in the daytime, in the usual training, some unlucky people will be killed due to various problems. In this dark night, it is even more dangerous.
The brigade commander Belenkonovich stood up, tidied up his gear, and walked to the door of the cabin.
This is the tradition of paratroopers. When skydiving, the officer must lead the jump! And it starts from the highest official position. Here, of course, the brigade commander has to jump first.
The cabin door was opened, and the whistling cold wind blew into the cabin, and everyone felt chills on their bodies.
Belenkonovich looked at the door of the cabin, a young soldier with a pale face, and patted him on the shoulder: "Milev, don't be afraid, in a moment, watch us jump first."
"Yes, I'm not afraid." Milev immediately stood at attention and saluted his teacher.
The plane had already slowed down to less than 200 kilometers per hour after flying over Tehran, and the slower the plane, the smaller the area of spread when the paratroopers jumped.
Finally, the pilot saw the five-pointed star symbol formed by the flashlight on the ground in the distance. He shouted loudly to the back: "Arrived at the parachute field, the east wind is level 3 to 4, the landing conditions are met, and the parachute starts!"
Hearing the voice in the loudspeaker, Brigade Commander Belenkonovich took a step forward, put his hands on his chest, and performed the actions repeated countless times, his body fell down like a big rock. fall.
