Chapter 551 The battle of blood and fire

In peacetime, low-altitude skydiving is a high-risk subject, while low-altitude skydiving in the evening will have a higher difficulty because if the main umbrella cannot be opened, it will only take a short time to open the backup umbrella. If it is dark, the ground target will not be clearly visible. The incorrect posture may lead to fractures of both legs at the moment of landing.

However, in the era of war, in this era when bloodshed and sacrificed at any time, these dangers are no longer dangerous.

A great advantage of choosing this time and this height skydiving is that the air defense firepower on the ground cannot be reacted at all, and it will minimize the loss of airborne.

Now, since the Air Force has successfully suppressed the firepower on the ground and the Iranians cannot react at all, the landing of Iraqi paratroopers is very smooth.

Seeing the paratroopers falling from the sky, the Iranians who were still at the airport opened their eyes wide and looked at the sky with the last ray of light shining on the setting sun, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

How is this possible! How could the Iraqis have so many paratroopers? How could they suddenly land here!

Only a very small number of Iranians recovered from their shock, picked up the weapons around them, and fired blindly into the sky.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

After landing on the ground, the soldiers of the First Battalion and the Second Battalion immediately cut off the ropes of the parachute on their bodies and began to assemble in groups of three or three. After landing, the airborne troops would be temporarily disrupted. Therefore, they had to form a small team nearby and cooperate with each other to start an attack on the Iranians guarding the airport.

While the paratroopers landed, some weapons bags were also dropped.

Since the Sixty-Seventh Airborne Regiment has not been equipped with paratroopers and combat vehicles so far, they will fall into an embarrassing situation of no heavy firepower after landing, and the weapons they carry are limited. It is impossible to carry infantry attack weapons such as anti-tank missiles. Therefore, during the parachuting process, the special weapons they carried randomly were also dropped.

After Abed landed, he immediately gathered his troops from his side and launched an attack on the most important tower at the airport. Although half of the tower was blown up in the last air strike, it was still the commanding height of the entire airport. After controlling the tower, he could control the airport.

This attack completely had the effect of a surprise attack. Faced with the airborne troops falling from the sky, all the Iranians' courage to fight disappeared. The battle went smoothly.

Almost at the same time, Rafsanjani received news that Iraqi airborne troops appeared at the airport.

"Reported that a large number of Iraqi airborne troops appeared at Tehran Air Force Base. At present, the guards at the airport are fighting fiercely with them."

Upon hearing this report, Rafsanjani felt dizzy in front of her. These actions in Iraq over the past two days are all for one goal: Tehran!

So far, he can confirm that the Iraqis’ target was not the city in the south at all, because they had no courage to attack there, nor did they need to attack there. Their target was the capital of Iran, Tehran under his feet!

What should come, but what remains is to fight bravely!

"Immediately order the newly formed 138th Infantry Division to go to the airport quickly and must eliminate all Iraqi airborne troops. At the same time, order the Revolutionary Guards and 137 Infantry Division, which set out yesterday to reinforce, return to Tehran immediately. Before dawn tomorrow, they must enter the city of Tehran and prepare for street fighting. This is a military order." Rafsanjani said.

Since the main attack direction of the Iraqis has been determined, what is coming down is to deal with it with all your strength! The two armies must be transferred back, and the Iraqis at the airport must be killed first at the fastest speed.

No one questioned Rafsanjani's order, and it was necessary to transfer the two troops back, and they were fooled by the Iraqis!

At this moment, another urgent report came up.

"In the southern downtown area, there were sounds of helicopters, and a large number of helicopters were flying into the interior of the downtown area."

The helicopter? It is definitely not his own. So, that is, Iraq not only wants to capture the airport, but also wants to enter the city.

Almost at the same time, they thought that the helicopters entering Iraq that entered the city must have come for themselves.

"Split a few regiments from the 138th Division to support the Ministry of National Defense." A senior staff advised.

"No, the mission of the 138th Division is to go to the airport. Iraq is just a helicopter. We can be completely prepared for it." Rafsanjani said: "A few helicopters cannot pose a threat to our strong underground fortifications, so we don't have to be afraid."

When he heard the word "fear", the staff officer who had just spoken immediately blushed.

Suddenly, "boom", a huge explosion came from above. Iraq's attack had already begun!

Just before the transport plane arrived at the target, the helicopters of the airborne regiment in Hamadan were approaching the city of Tehran at a very low altitude. They could not avoid the residential areas. Although they were not discovered by radar, the Iranians also heard the huge roar outside, but they had no time to react.

Iraqi helicopter pilots have all carried night vision devices, but the danger of flying at low altitudes in the city is still very high, but they must quickly reach the position they need to attack in order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.

Soon, when Rafsanjani just received the report from below, they had reached their target area: the location of the Tehran government and the Ministry of Defense building.

At this time, the third airborne battalion of the 67th Airborne Regiment carried by the small transport aircraft that finally took off also arrived above the target.

After receiving the order from the early warning plane, the pilot of the Mi-24 armed helicopter stabilized the helicopter in front of the target. At the same time, the weapon operator in the rear cabin pressed the launch switch, the circuit was turned on, and the 57mm rocket under the short wing began to fly towards his target.

At the same time, in the rear compartment of the Mi-24 armed helicopter, the special forces coming with the helicopters slid down quickly along the ropes suspended by the helicopter.

Their movements were very quick and quick, and they were already familiar with conflicts of this scale. The weapons they carried were even more diverse, but they were very easy to use. They were the most elite troops in the Iraqi army: the Rattlesnake Special Forces and the Crescent Special Forces.

In this important combat operation, the two Iraq's most elite special forces also began their battle. They were sharp swords, and the third airborne battalion would expand its results.

The Rattlesnake Special Forces mainly occupy government buildings, while the Crescent Special Forces mainly attack the Ministry of Defense.

Varih slid down the rope, looked at the government building ravaged by rockets fired by helicopters in the sky that had begun to darken, and said to his team members: "Prepare to set off."

At this time, the transport plane had also arrived at the scheduled landing location, Liberty Square, which is relatively open and is very close to the government building and the Ministry of Defense building, suitable for airborne troops to quickly enter the battle.

At this time, the sky had darkened, and the brave soldiers from the third battalion of the 67th Iraqi Airborne Regiment bravely jumped out of the cabin.

As brave airborne troops, they can appear anywhere in the enemy! Now, they have directly climbed to the heart of Iran, the city of Tehran!

The free square was silent, with only the "Tower of Justice" standing in the center of the square, silently watching the airborne troops falling from the sky. The sky of Iran was no longer guarded.

In a building next to Freedom Square, soldiers from an infantry squad guarding here discovered the airborne troops falling from the sky, and they immediately became nervous.

Iraqis appeared, they must fight bravely!

"Kill the Iraqis!" The squad leader gave the order.

"Tutu, Tutu." The only machine gun in the infantry squad began to fire into the sky. Although they had seen the airborne troops landing, it was not easy to hit the target when shooting at the air with a light machine gun. Moreover, there was no tracer bullet in the middle, and the ballistics of the bullets flew out could not be determined at all.

The machine gun fired, which exposed their targets.

A paratrooper who landed first ran away after pulling off the parachute on his body and quickly ran to another parachute more than 30 meters away from him. It was a weapon pack.

He quickly took out the weapon from inside, which was an At-4 anti-tank missile launcher and four missiles.

Yes, he began to assemble quickly. In the subsequent tough battle, in addition to relying on armed helicopters and attack aircraft in the sky, they could also rely on their own "heavy" equipment. When attacking certain places, it was more appropriate and timely than air support.

Then, another paratrooper rushed over and formed a missile launch team. Before the assembly was completed, a burst of gunfire sounds were heard from the distance.

Looking around, there was a machine gun on the roof, spitting out flames into the sky.

Damn Iranians!

"quick!"

The two paratroopers worked together to build a folded tripod. This missile was a missile that the Soviet Union only equipped in the 1970s. It was exported to Iraq a few months ago. The tripod had a launcher and an optical scope. The entire weapon system weighed 23.5 kilograms, the missile weighed 12 kilograms, the maximum range was 2,000 meters, the minimum range was 70 meters, and the armor-breaking thickness was 400 mm.

A paratrooper stuffed the missile into the launch tube and was ready for launch. Another paratrooper lay on the ground, aimed his eyes at the aiming device, and trapped the place where the flames were spitting out.

Kill the Iranians! The paratrooper pulled the trigger, and a fire tongue flashed beside him, and a missile flew out of the launcher.

The battle between blood and fire was officially staged in Tehran.
