Nine hundred and thirtieth chapters on the island
Finally, the front wheels were in water, and the waveproof board in front had already shaken. The driver knew that now was the most critical time.
As the car body enters the water, the roar inside becomes louder and louder and louder.
The car body was still slowly entering the water, and the front half had all entered the water. In the armored vehicle, you could hear the sound of the two rows of wheels in front and the idle. Then, the car body in front had floated up.
The driver slowly retracted the accelerator, and the entire body slid into the water lightly, and then hung the water driving gear.
The two propellers at the tail began to rotate, and two streams of water emerged from the tail, and the desert leopard began to wander happily in the water.
In order to have amphibious and land performance, the Desert Leopard has two propellers at the tail, which can paddle on the water surface and achieve a speed of more than eight nautical miles per hour.
At this time, only the top and turret above were exposed to the water, most of which were underwater.
Amphibious equipment is dangerous for sailing on the water. For example, if the sea conditions are high, it may turn over if it falls. However, the sea is calm and very close to the beach, which is a weapon for attack.
Following it, desert leopard infantry fighting vehicles drove off the cargo ship like dumplings, lined up on the water, and headed towards the coast.
As the infantry fighting vehicles left, the deck of the cargo ship began to become empty, and the Mi24 helicopter was finally ready to take off.
Although the sea is very calm today, the cargo ship still has some bumps. Taking off on the deck requires special training for helicopter pilots. For example, the pilot of the carrier-based helicopter on the Heden-class frigate cannot guarantee safe takeoff and landing without professional one year of training. The rear deck of the warship is too small. In contrast, the deck of the cargo ship is still relatively large, and it is not very difficult for excellent helicopter pilots.
The engine of the helicopter overhead began to roar, and the propeller was spinning faster and faster. The helicopter rose from the deck like a light sea harrier, and then surpassed the infantry fighting vehicles still in the water and began to fly towards the Big and Big Turbine Island and Gershm Island.
It was like conducting an exercise without any suspense! Through the telescope, I saw that the only military target on the Datong Step Island in the distance had been destroyed by fighter jets, and what was left to them was just a massive landing operation.
Hades suppressed his regrets. With his personality, this battle was not satisfying at all. What he needed was at least to take over the entire Holmzgan province. However, he had become mature and knew that this was the order of President Kusai. He must have deeper strategic considerations, so he could not disobey the military order.
He heard the sound of the plane above his head. He raised his head and it was the Air Force transport plane that arrived. The Il 76 transport plane, the main transport plane in Iraq, were all very familiar with them. The guys above just need to jump down and rush in front of them, which made Hades even more depressed.
I hope that the airborne troops will make a fool of themselves this time. If there are those who fall into the water when they land, they can save them.
Let those guys know that this kind of mission is not what they should perform, and landing operations is the strength of the Marine Corps!
"Note that you are about to reach the sky above the target. Be prepared to jump. Good luck." The captain's voice came from the cabin.
This good luck naturally means that when they are skydiving, they should pay attention to their landing area and not land on the sea. The airborne troops can swim less than half of them.
Soon, umbrella flowers bloomed in the sky.
The area of Datongbu Island is only 10.3 square kilometers, and the land on the island is red soil. The island has 400 residents, most of which are Arabs. They mainly fish and grazing. There are Danshui Wells at the southern end of the island, and there are only more than 30 troops garrisoned here.
Fifteen wheeled infantry fighting vehicles advanced towards the island. In order not to compete with the airborne soldiers, Hades was actually very jealous. He led the team to attack Datongbu Island.
After the armed helicopter flew onto Tongbu Island, he circled the island for a while and found nothing unusual. The fortifications on the island had turned into a pile of ruins.
Among the ruins, the only two remaining defenders had chosen to surrender after the Marines in the cabin behind the Mi24 helicopter got off the plane.
The front end of the car body was vibrating. The driver increased the accelerator, and the car body became slower and slower. The driver knew that this was the front wheel and had touched the ground.
The driver hung up the first gear, and the propeller and the wheels worked together. Then the body of the car continued to move forward, and the body of the car was exposed to the water surface until the body of the car was completely exposed to the water surface. The driver took off the water gear. In the red soil, the desert leopard once again showed excellent off-road performance on land.
"Leave two chariots to guard the beach, the rest, and I search the entire island," Hades said.
The island is not very large. Desert leopards quickly patrolled the island and finally drove into the village where people gathered on the island.
The sound of gunfire had already shocked the people on the island. In their surprise, they found that they were surrounded.
Looking at the flags on the armored vehicles, you know that the Iraqi army is coming.
"Dear brothers, from today on you will be liberated," said Hades.
"You are the army of the God of War Kusai?" asked an islander.
"Yes, the great Allah is above us, we are the army of the brave President Cusey," Hades said.
As he said this, a helicopter was flying over his head, and they were patrolling the place.
"It's so great. I've been looking forward to you coming." said an islander.
They are all Arabs and have always been dissatisfied with being ruled by the former government.
In November 1971, the Persians sent troops to occupy Abu Musa Island and Tomb Island, which were originally British protection areas near the Strait of Hormuz. It has been more than ten years since then. The local Arabs on the island have no good feelings for the British rule, and also have no good feelings for the Persians. Now, with the great halo of Kusai, they have already agreed in their hearts that this place should be under the jurisdiction of the Arabs, that is, the President of Kusai.
"I also saw a plane flying towards the drilling platform to the west this morning." At this moment, a teenager said.
