Chapter 1045： 206 Paratrooper Brigade (1/2)

”Quick, quick, quick!” In the dark night, lights were shining on the runway. Under the light, a famous soldier carrying an umbrella bag was running toward the transport plane.

Belenkonovich, the brigade commander of the 206th Parachute Brigade, looked at the running soldiers with excitement in his heart, and finally it was their turn to go to the battlefield!

Paratroopers are a new type of service. They did not have it during World War I. They are still very young, but now they are going to show their skills.

The biggest advantage of paratroopers is that they can appear anywhere and have the suddenness of combat. Their German counterparts have already created miracles. Now, Soviet paratroopers will never fall behind.

When accepting the mission, Belenkonovich knew how important his mission was. The commander of the paratroopers, Major General Glazunov, personally told him that after the mission was completed, they would be summoned by Comrade Stalin himself!

They had two missions. They dig out the nest of the Iranians and rushed into the palace to capture the Iranian king. At the same time, they rescued the Soviet soldiers in the palace prison. One of them was the most important.

He still held the photo on his chest. He didn't have much doubts about such a task.

Iran has mobilized their main force to Qazvin. In the capital Tehran, there is now only one Royal Guard. Most of these troops are high-profile soldiers for inspection, and the real combat effectiveness is quite poor.

Especially, tonight was a sudden attack. When one rushed past, maybe the Iranians were still asleep! They guarded the mountain pass near Tehran and wanted to hinder their own attack. They would never dream that they would fall from the sky, right?

On the runway of the airport, there are ПС-84-К planes. This twin-engine, single-wing transport aircraft is almost identical to the American Douglas DC-3 airliner.

In 36 years, the Soviet Union purchased the DC-3 passenger aircraft from the United States and requested the right to manufacture it from Douglas Aircraft Company. The United States agreed on the principle of reciprocity among the allies. The Soviet Union then sent technicians to the Douglas factory to study.

Later, on the basis of this passenger plane, the Soviet Union carried out its own imitations and produced a large number of this transport aircraft, using the Soviet Union's own engines. Now, the current model is specifically for paratroopers.

There are not many such planes, but the Soviet aviation department urgently mobilized dozens of them, enough for a paratrooper brigade to drop by air at once.

When all the paratroopers got on the plane, Belenkonovitch also walked into the cabin. The Ash-62IR air-cooled single-row star 9-cylinder piston engines on both sides of the plane made a rumble sound, and the plane was sliding on the runway. Ran up and rushed into the dark night sky.

Behind, transport planes took off one after another, according to the scheduled route, across the Caspian Sea, and flew directly over Tehran!

The northern part of Tehran is full of tall mountains. Although there are some flat areas in the outskirts of Tehran, it will be difficult to parachute there in the dark.

Therefore, the plan of the 206 Parachute Brigade is to fly over Tehran and then land in the south of Tehran!
