Chapter 1439 Paratroopers Descend From the Sky

The four-engine Pe-8 bomber has appeared from the sky.

Of course it didn't come to bomb the oil field. At this time, in the cabin of the Pei-8 bomber, there were densely packed soldiers with serious expressions on their faces, and their will was extremely firm.

In history, the Soviet Union was the first country to have airborne troops. At that time, during the military parade in Moscow, the airborne troops fell from the sky and shocked the entire Western world. At that time, the Pe-8 bomber was used.

The Baku Oilfield, in crisis, was robbed by a group of Iranians!

The Supreme Command made emergency arrangements. In addition to ordering Hominke to risk his death to attack, it also mobilized the airborne troops.

The biggest advantage of the airborne troops is their high mobility. At this time, it is too late to mobilize any ground troops. They can only quickly reach the Baku oil field from the air.

As the most important source of energy for the Soviets, they dispatched an entire army of troops and airborne the Fourth Army.

This army has jurisdiction over the 8th Brigade, 9th Brigade and 214th Brigade, with about 10,000 people. For the smooth operation of this operation, they were directly commanded by Major General Glazunov, the commander of the airborne troops. Their task was to airborne to the oil field and kill the enemy here!

Although the Soviet Union established an airborne army-scale unit, they lacked enough large-scale transport aircraft. So far, the Soviet Union has not been able to come up with any large-scale transport aircraft, only the Pe-8 with unreliable performance is the main force for their transportation.

It is not enough to rely on the Pe-8 alone, plus a large number of Li-2 transport aircraft, it can only transport one brigade and one battalion at a time.

Now, inside the transport plane is the 2nd Battalion of the 8th Airborne Brigade, with a total of 638 people.

The Li-2 transport plane can only transport 25 soldiers at a time, and the Pe-8 bomber can only pack 23 soldiers. In an emergency, the Soviet Air Force can mobilize dozens of planes, which is already the largest. worked hard.

Why does the 4-engine Pe-8 bomber transport as many people as the twin-engine Li-2 transport aircraft? Just look at their status.

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

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

When coming out of the back turret, Vlasov felt a wind blow to his head, and the Pe-8 bomber was already flying smoothly.

He followed the fuselage, crawled forward, crawled forward, all the way to the front wing.

Behind him, a famous paratrooper followed him doing the same, as if performing acrobatics in the air.

They had to do it because the Pe-8 was a bomber.

The best way to skydive is on a transport plane with the tail door open. As long as people jump out, they will run backwards under the action of air resistance and fly down under the action of gravity, which is completely safe.

However, there is no hatch at the rear of the Pe-8. In order to parachute on the Pe-8, the airborne soldiers have explored the most incredible method, which is to slide off the wing!

At this time, the speed of the Pe-8 bomber was not fast, only more than 200 kilometers per hour, creating the best opportunity for the airborne paratroopers. A famous paratrooper climbed to the wing, like an acrobatic team.

"The parachute begins!"

In the gale, Vlasov sat up, and when he got up, under the blow of the wind, he slid towards the rear end of the wing, with his hands on his chest, in a ready position, the speed increased Faster, follow, and fall off the wing.

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

Get out of the plane normally!

He pulled the parachute rope, and when the parachute opened, his entire body was pulled, and the parachute was successfully opened!

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

A paratrooper's posture was incorrect. 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 height of the fall became lower and lower, he couldn't bear it any longer and pulled the paracord.

The parachute didn't open, and after the parachute was pulled out, it wrapped around him, and he fell down like a big rock.

He jumped down last, but he was the first to land. Looking at this companion, everyone felt heavy.

When the paratroopers are the most dangerous, they all have death indicators when they are training in peacetime.

This is the first Pe-8. When it began to fall, the other planes that followed also began to parachute. Compared with the Pe-8, the Li-2 parachute was much easier.

The side door of the cabin opened, and the paratroopers clasped their arms and jumped down.

On the landing field, dense parachutes kept appearing.

Of course they wouldn't jump directly over the oil field, if that were the case, the ground defenders could just shoot their parachutes with rifles and kill them.

The landing site is still some distance away from the oil field! After they landed, they must quickly gather up the formation, in a combat formation, and advance towards the oil field.

And when they landed, the transport plane would return, and the other troops would be transported one after another. Their entire 8th brigade needed to airborne more than 2,500 people, and they needed three round trips of transport planes, and the entire army was airborne. , I am afraid that a day is not enough.

They are airborne in an orderly manner, and the Iranian army on the side, of course, will not watch them complete the assembly!

"Quick, go and kill them!" Reinhardt said. "Where's our plane? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

As expected, they were going to hold out until dawn, because after dawn, the air force would arrive, provide them with additional fire support, and hold out until the ground troops arrived.

But who can know that the Soviets have airdropped troops before their own air force has arrived. The Soviets' response is really fast!

In the battle at night, five or six infantry fighting vehicles were lost. Now, the remaining infantry fighting vehicles were immediately launched and moved towards the landing ground of the paratroopers!

The advantage of paratroopers is mobility, and the disadvantage of paratroopers is the ability to regroup. When paratroopers are landing, they are quite dangerous. Paratroopers are very vulnerable when they land and assemble.

In particular, paratroopers cannot carry heavy weapons. They only have light weapons, and they cannot compete with wheeled infantry fighting vehicles at all, and Iran's elite troops have submachine guns in their hands with fierce firepower.
