The huge transport plane, with a thick body, is slowly gliding down from the distant sky.
At this time, it was already dark, and everything was silent.
"Stay steady, as usual." Nathan said to Jenny in the cabin.
"Understand." Jenny's mentality is indeed very good. After several days of take-off and landing training, now it is finally the turn of the real drill.
This huge C-5 Galaxy transport plane was packed with dozens of vehicles and a team of more than two hundred people in its belly. Now, they are fully armed.
Historically, Operation Eagle Claw failed. They did not seriously conduct simulation training at all. They simply formulated an extremely complex operation, and then they started, seemingly able to achieve success easily.
And now, they have undergone repeated simulation training, and this time tonight is an actual combat exercise.
Landing at night is far more difficult than during the day. With runway lights on at the airport and landing in the lights, psychological pressure will increase.
And behind, there are more than two hundred people, with so many equipment, if it fails to land successfully, it may be a serious accident.
In this case, Nathan still handed over the task to Jenny. He was very relieved of Jenny. In the past few days, Jenny’s progress has surprised Nathan. If Jenny changes to a pilot, he will definitely be able to fly well. Kind of a giant transport plane.
The runway in front was getting closer and closer, and finally, the wheels and the runway below were in perfect contact, and the voice of the tower came from the earphones: "Landing beautifully!"
"Quick, quick, quick!" Just as the plane stopped, both the front and rear doors were opened at the same time. Amidst the urging sound, vehicles came out.
The wheeled vehicles came out from behind, and with the help of the plane formed by the opening of the hatch, they were coming out rumblingly, and the one in the front was even flying out.
That's right, Alison's car was in the front row. In the cabin, he had already added the gear to third gear, and almost flew out of the cabin, and then rumbling forward amidst the turbulence.
Who can stop it? Their speed is much faster than the BS people. Those people are fanatical, but they have not undergone any training.
At the same time, from the front hatch, the Sheridan tank came out.
The M551 light tank, also known as the Sheridan tank, was developed in the early 1960s. The first prototypes were made at the end of 1962 and delivered to the army for testing in early 1963. By 1967, it was partially equipped with the American Armored Cavalry (Reconnaissance) Battalion.
As a light tank, its body is welded with 7039 aluminum armor, which greatly reduces the weight. On its small body, a 152mm thick cannon is carried, like smoking a large cigar.
Its combat weight is only 15 tons. Therefore, it is suitable for armored reconnaissance units and airborne divisions. It also provides fire support in areas where main battle tanks cannot be deployed during joint arms operations.
For this operation, tanks are also indispensable, they are mainly used to protect the transport aircraft, as well as to conquer the tower, occupy the entire airport.
The front and back were in action. The tank troops quickly deployed to protect the aircraft while heading towards the tower, while most of the cars were rumbling towards the embassy dozens of kilometers away.
Suddenly, rows of mannequins appeared on the side of the runway. The tanks on this side immediately fired their machine guns and shot past them.
They have already torn their skins, and what are they afraid of? As long as someone dares to attack, they will fall down! See if there are more people or more bullets on your side!
In this action, they have been cruel.
Within an hour and a half, the roar from a distance came again. M151 cars had begun to return. In their convoy, there were a few more buses. According to the pre-planned plan, they were originally parked in the embassy. vehicle.
Of course, if these vehicles are unavailable, they can also use their own vehicles to transport them, but they will be crowded a bit. Then, return to the plane!
If you continue to load these equipment, it will take time, so everyone got out of the car and ran on the plane. At the same time as the cabin door began to close, the C-5 transport aircraft began to roll.
"At most two hours, we will be able to complete this rescue operation." After waiting to return and land again, the soldiers who tossed in the middle of the night did not rest, but continued to analyze.
"No, we have to be faster. If we can go back and forth in an hour, we can greatly reduce the risk." Beckwith said.
After all, there is the enemy's capital. Once the opponent reacts and organizes a large number of manpower to besiege, it will still be extremely thrilling. The shorter this time, the better for them.
"Just shortening the time is not enough." Emily also followed the analysis: "What we need more is to cut off all their communications and make them difficult to command. If at this time, there is an electronic jammer of the Air Force. Join in, the success rate is even higher."
Those people’s demonstrations, riots, and siege of the embassy are definitely not spontaneous, they are organized, and they are all commanded behind them. As long as they disrupt their command network and make their communication difficult, they can do it for themselves. Rescue buy time.
After all, as long as one lands on the other's international airport, it will immediately stabbed the hornet's nest. Even if all communications in the airport are cut off, someone will still report the message.
air force? The Air Force only gave the planes, not even the pilots, let alone expect them to dispatch electronic jammers.
Of course, the Navy also has electronic jammers, but the Navy's electronic jammer is EA-6B. Its small body and short range make it impossible to fly to the capital of BS. In contrast, the Air Force EF-111 has a range of up to 3700. Kilometers, flying back and forth is absolutely no problem.
"Perhaps, we can also try to land elsewhere." Just then, Jenny spoke again: "If we don't go to the international airport, we won't disturb them."
Nathan shook his head, it was absolutely impossible.
Those capable of taking off and landing at front-line field airports are medium-range transport aircraft such as the C130 and strategic transport aircraft such as the C-5 Galaxy. They do not have the ability to take off and land at the field airport and are very dangerous.
It is precisely because of these needs that the U.S. Air Force is also bidding, and finally the C-17 transport aircraft was born, which can not only have the size of the C-5 cargo warehouse, but also has the C-130 short-range takeoff and landing capability, which can be used in field operations. Take off and land on the sandy runway, but this kind of aircraft, that is already in the 1980s.
For now, there is still no such kind of aircraft. It is not worth the gain to take a risk with the C-5. (End of this chapter)
