"We need support from fighter jets!" A low-level US military officer was frightened by the helicopters being knocked down one after another, and panicked and suggested to the senior British person in charge who was on the same plane.
"No! We can't get fighter support!" The British officer spoke with a thick Liverpool accent.
"Why?" Tang Guanjie thought of other ways to calm down the shock besides holding his weapon tightly: "Didn't we already bomb this place? Can't we just bomb it again?"
"Not to mention whether it is too late or not, but these weapons that can already damage fighter jets will allow the Air Force Command to plan carefully for some time. Moreover, those in suits at the United Nations are still voting, and the war has not broken out yet! If the United States If people send the air force to attack Iraq without declaring war, they will bear the name of immorality and become passive in diplomacy." The British were not as friendly to the Americans as Tang Guanjie imagined.
"Then why did we come in? To sneak away?" The butcher rolled his eyes at the guy, opened his eyes and told lies without looking at the target. He said that there would be no air support, so it was over, and he was talking nonsense.
"The firepower from the front is too fierce! We can't continue to advance!" the British commander on another plane shouted on the radio.
"We are very close to the destination!" The captain glanced at the current coordinates and replied to the commander: "In order to avoid greater damage, if there is no way to land directly at the destination, then now is the best time to parachute. The timing is right, while the Apaches still have firepower to cover us.¡±
"Then we will switch from the defensive side to the offensive side, and the difficulty of the task will increase exponentially." The British officer was hesitant and difficult to make up his mind: "With these engineers and firefighters, we will fail!"
"This mission is to secretly infiltrate into the oil field, conduct a sneak attack on the armed forces, clear mines, and clear a safe area for heavy weapons to enter. Compare the literal meaning with the current situation. Without the confidentiality, this sneak attack mission has been completed Failed!" Before the captain could finish his words, the butcher and we had already understood what the captain's next decision was based on years of tacit understanding, so they all stood up and hung the parasol ropes on their parachute bags above their heads. On a cable that runs through the fuselage of the aircraft.
"We must change the nature of the mission from secret infiltration to forceful occupation." As expected, the captain is indeed more decisive than that guy.
"We have no heavy weapons support, and our firepower with light armored vehicles and mortars alone is not enough to compete with the Iraqi tank force. Even those are old-fashioned tanks." The British's conservatism can also be seen in the military.
"The Iraqis can use the wreckage of the plane that was shot down in this operation as an excuse to blow up the oil fields. When the time comes, the ones who will be charged with this crime will definitely not be private armed forces like us, who have never been admitted by the NATO military." The captain knew. The communication between the two of them cannot be heard by others, so they speak very straightforwardly.
"Apache has cleared a safe area of ??more than 5 kilometers for us, and each team is preparing to parachute in advance! After confirming that the area has been cleared by Apache, the helicopter transporting the armed vehicle will parachute the vehicle in the area, and the fire brigade will return randomly Base." After recognizing the facts, he is decisive and not verbose. This officer obviously has this common advantage of Westerners. In addition to the other soldiers on the same flight as us, after listening to the captain analyzing the "serious situation" faced by his commander, Except for the "command" that came immediately from the earphones, which made the local gray angry, everything was very calm.
"Are you actually parachuting?" I saw Tang Guanjie hanging the parachute lock on the steel cable. I pulled it once, twice, three or four times to make sure it was safe, and then I breathed a sigh of relief and asked him strangely. .
"No!" Tang Guanjie looked at me nervously and inexplicably while holding his m.
"Why not? I thought you were special forces."
"But we are the Marine Corps. The key word is "corps"!" Tang Guanjie was a little too excited: "I trained twice in 30
, I haven¡¯t tried a helicopter? "
"It's no different!" I briefly reminded him of what he had learned before: "The pressure inside and outside the cabin is different at this altitude. Don't try to jump up. Just imagine Sirloin. Stone** is lying on you In front of you. Then just pounce on it according to your usual habits. Just jump if you are told. If you hesitate for two seconds more, the landing distance may be several miles away, and I will not go to you!"
"You only need to remember two things when you are in the air! Open the parachute after 3 seconds after leaving the plane, but if you count to 5
If you haven¡¯t felt the impact of opening the parachute yet, don¡¯t hesitate to open the backup parachute immediately. One leg on the ground can only withstand 200
The impact force is more than 1,000 kilograms, but two legs can withstand 1,000 kilograms. The impact of landing is 450 kilograms. If you want to walk on your own feet for the rest of your life, you must touch the ground with both feet at the same time. the most important is! No matter who you are with on the ground"We have a good relationship. Don't get within 20 meters of him at this time." If you want to die, go alone and don't drag others down. especially me! "
The rear cabin door of the plane slowly opened, and the air pressure in the cabin immediately dropped due to the altitude, but our feeling was more like the strong wind rushing in had pulled the oxygen away from our respiratory tracts. Everyone lined up and walked onto the hatch that was flattened and turned into a springboard. Once we lost the protection of the cabin wall, strong wind rushed in from all directions and enveloped us. The butt was pulled back like a tow rope, with such force that it almost sucked us out of the cabin.
"What if my primary and secondary parachutes are not opened?" Looking at the butchers in front of them, they jumped into the boundless darkness one by one. When I walked to the top of the springboard like a diver, Tang Guanjie suddenly pulled me and asked This is a concern that everyone will ask themselves in this situation.
"Do you believe in reincarnation?" He turned around and saw Tang Guanjie nodding in affirmative reply: "Spread your legs and prepare to be reincarnated!" After saying that, he smiled at him and made a backward motion, then fell into the More than 4,000 meters in the air.
The bullets that are constantly shooting from the ground are like big spikes shooting into the sky. It takes courage to pounce on them. The feeling of falling at a speed of 50 meters per second was like my body falling rapidly like a meteor, and the dark ground was rushing toward me like crazy. The strong wind pressure through the military uniform is like a masseur kneading your muscles. When the canopy is opened, the huge inertia of the body plus the backpack weighing more than 100 kilograms makes me feel like a decent person. It was almost disconnected after being pulled from both ends. Although it was uncomfortable, I was happy in my heart. At least it meant that my own umbrella was open and I was away from the possibility of falling to death.
The dark black parachutes and camouflage clothes of the same color specially prepared for night battles successfully confused the Iraqi ground forces, and the gunfire that still blindly chased the helicopters proved one point.
"We need to establish a safety zone of more than five kilometers." The captain gave us an order in the air: "The Sam missile vehicle was destroyed by the Apache. We need to at least ensure the range of the shoulder-fired Sam 7."
"Five kilometers?" I felt a little dizzy after hearing this, and the werewolf howled directly: "Captain! How many people are we? Five kilometers? An area the size of half a town, with this kind of visibility?"
"It doesn't matter! The place we will land is near a refinery. From my memory, the road in front of the factory is the only access to Basra. There is a minefield on the left side of the road. And we need to pay attention to It's the patch of trees outside the refinery on the right side of the road. It's the only place where an air defense squadron can be hidden." This is the answer to why the US military kept its captain.
"Copy that!" I put on my infrared thermal imaging night vision device and scanned the destination below for my upcoming landing. There was no thermal reaction in the jungle in his eyes, but the patches were gray and foggy.
"Something doesn't feel right!" was still floating in the air, but when I saw a picture that was different from my experience, I intuitively told me that this was not a good sign.
"Which aspect?" The captain was behind us, and with his old eyes, he didn't bother to check it himself and asked directly.
"I can't explain clearly! But there must be something wrong!" Intuition is the feeling that cannot be expressed. If I could explain it clearly, I would not talk nonsense to them.
"No matter how something goes wrong! We are all falling! Stay energetic!" The captain knew that something would happen if something went wrong with me, but now that I was in free fall, there was no way to retreat but to move forward.
I could feel that in the palm village that was gradually approaching, there were people quietly lurking in the trees. Although there was no trace of them at all, I was absolutely sure that someone was staring at me with blood-red eyes, and the sound coming from them was The pins and needles feeling is that of being stalked by a wild animal. By the time I got down to an altitude of about 0,000 meters, the infrared imager could already be accurate to 0.
¡æ, I finally saw something strange in the trees clearly. It turned out that there were three 2-story towers standing in the jungle 3 kilometers away.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????If it hadn't been for the heat change in the rotating port of this thing, I still couldn't see the outline of this thing clearly.
Oh my God! I rubbed my eyes and screamed in disbelief, how could this thing appear here? This kind of close-in defense gun is an anti-missile weapon on a missile boat. The Iraqi navy suffered a devastating blow in the first Gulf War. 3
Of the various warships that were beaten, only five or six were still usable. Although I heard that Saddam had no ships, he still had an anti-ship weapon in his hand. Rumors also mentioned that the Iraqi army had a 30
???????????????????????????????????????? Tanks modified with mm naval guns are used to increase firepower, but I have never heard of any precedent of converting ship defense guns into land defense guns!
"Close-in defense cannon! Close-in defense cannon!" I shouted without bothering to look at other firepower weapons, and pulled the parachute rope desperately to adjust my direction and escape the firepower range of the distant monster. I thought it was the mostWe will encounter the 23mm anti-aircraft gun of the zsu-23-4m. We only need to land 2 kilometers away to jump out of its effective range and then use the "Javelin" or "Tao 2"
"You can solve it, but although the big guys in front of you can't shoot high enough to threaten high-altitude helicopters, they can shoot horizontally enough to tear all targets within 5 kilometers into pieces.
pity! It's too late! Hidden in the woods, they started firing on us. All of a sudden, all the dense artillery shells mixed with bullets were fired at us. Cannonballs the size of Coke bottles passed by me, and there was thick smoke and gunfire everywhere, and my vision was blurry
