The four engine pei-8 bomber has appeared from the horizon.

Of course, it didn't come to bomb the oil field. At this time, the cabin of the pei-8 bomber was full of soldiers with serious expressions and strong will.

In history, the Soviet Union was the first country to have airborne troops. At that time, during the military parade in Moscow, airborne troops landed from the sky, which shocked the whole western world. At that time, pei-8 bombers were used.

Baku oil field, there was a crisis, but it was robbed by a group of Iranians!

The Supreme Command made emergency arrangements. In addition to ordering Huo Mingke to risk his life to attack, he also mobilized the airborne troops.

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

As the most important energy source of the Soviet Union, they dispatched a whole army to airborne the Fourth Army.

This army governs the 8th, 9th and 214 brigades, with about 10000 people. For the smooth operation of this operation, they are under the direct command of major general grazunov, commander of airborne troops. Their task is to airborne to the oil field and kill the enemy here!

Although the Soviet Union established airborne troops, they lacked enough large-scale transport aircraft. So far, the Soviet Union has not produced any large-scale transport aircraft. Only the pei-8 with unreliable performance is the main force of their transport.

The pei-8 alone is not enough. Coupled with 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 brigade of airborne troops, with a total of 638 people.

Li-2 transport aircraft can only transport 25 soldiers at a time, while pei-8 bombers can only fill in 23 soldiers. In case of emergency, the Soviet air force has made its best efforts to mobilize dozens of aircraft.

Why do 4-engine pei-8 bombers not transport as many people as dual engine li-2 transport aircraft? Just look at their state.

Frasov, commander of the 2nd Battalion, was the first to climb out of the bomber.

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

When he came out of the turret on the back of the plane, Vlasov felt a wind blowing on his head. At this time, the pe-8 bomber had flown smoothly.

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

Behind him, a famous paratrooper followed him to do the same action, as if he were performing acrobatics in the air.

They had to do this because the pe-8 was a bomber.

The best way to parachute is on the transport plane with the rear door open. As long as people jump out, they will run backward under the action of air resistance and fly down under the action of gravity. It is completely safe.

But there is no hatch at the tail of pei-8. In order to parachute on pei-8, the airborne soldiers have explored the most incredible way, that is, sliding down from the wing!

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

"Parachute start!"

In the strong wind, Vlasov sat up. When he got up, he slid towards the rear end of the wing under the wind. His hands were on his chest and prepared for the posture. The speed was faster and faster. Then he fell off the wing.

He closed his eyes and didn't want to see the tail coming from behind. It seemed that he could cut him open. When he counted to three, he opened his eyes.

Get off the plane normally!

He pulled the parachute rope. When the parachute opened, his whole body was pulled and successfully opened the parachute!

Overhead, paratroopers who were doing the same action as him slid towards the back 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 and balanced his body, but his body was still rolling. With the falling height getting lower and lower, he couldn't help but pull the umbrella rope.

The parachute didn't open. After the parachute rope was pulled out, it entangled him. He fell down like a big stone.

He jumped down after, but he landed first. Looking at this companion, everyone was heavy hearted.

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

This is the first pei-8. When it began to fall, other planes followed began to parachute. Compared with pei-8, li-2 parachuting is much easier.

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

On the landing site, numerous parachutes constantly appeared.

Of course, they will not jump directly over the oil field. In that case, the ground garrison can kill them as long as they shoot at their parachutes with rifles.

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

After landing them, the transport plane will return and continue to transport other troops. The eighth brigade needs to airborne more than 2500 people, so it needs three transport planes to airborne the whole army. I'm afraid one day is not enough.

They are airborne in an orderly manner. Of course, the Iranian army on one side will not watch them assemble!

"Come on, go and kill them!" Reinhart said, "where's our plane? Why haven't you arrived yet? "

As expected, they will hold on until dawn, because after dawn, the air force will arrive to provide them with additional fire support and hold on until the arrival of ground forces.

But who knows, before their own air force arrived, the Soviets dropped troops. The Soviets responded quickly!

In the evening battle, five or six infantry combat vehicles were lost. Now, the remaining infantry combat vehicles start immediately and move towards the parachute landing site!

The advantage of paratroopers is mobility. The disadvantage of paratroopers is the ability to regroup. Paratroopers are very dangerous when landing. Paratroopers are very vulnerable from landing to regrouping.

In particular, paratroopers can't carry heavy weapons, only light weapons. They can't fight against wheeled infantry combat vehicles at all, while Iran's elite troops are holding submachine guns with fierce firepower.
