November 23, 1982.

Three air force bases in northern Iraq welcomed a group of special guests.

A large transport aircraft appeared in the sight of the crowd. This large transport aircraft with a T-shaped tail wing layout turned three times and slowly landed on the runway. Even so, it did not stop until the end of the runway.

With the landing of this plane, other transport planes appeared in the air, and they also landed on the runway one by one.

Then, there was a smaller medium-sized propeller transporter. This type of transporter became very flexible. They only slid more than 200 meters on the runway before stopping.

Zhang Feng was already standing at the end of the runway to welcome these American pilots who came from afar. This time, they were really a "selfless" assistance.

The pilots did not get off the plane, they just opened the rear hatch door and waited for the cargo to be shipped.

Zhang Feng looked at these transport planes and felt envious.

Whether a country's military power is strong depends on whether it has the ability to send its troops to the required places in time. Its strategic transportation capabilities can only show the country's ability to respond to emergencies. In this regard, the United States is undoubtedly at the forefront of the world.

Other countries are far inferior to that. This kind of large transport aircraft is not something that any country can afford, and only the Soviet Union is OK.

Only large aircraft can support the backbone of national defense!

The ancient country in the East is actively studying the Yun-10 in this era. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, it ended in vain.

Zhang Feng knew that if Iraq wants to develop, large aircraft is also necessary. In this regard, the same way of injecting funds and sharing technology can be adopted to develop with China.

The supply vehicles that had been waiting aside immediately transported all kinds of urgently needed materials to these planes. The materials were ready and airdropped.

The first batch was the white snow combat uniforms that the frontline needed the most. After emergency production, the quantity requirements were finally guaranteed. There were also various foods and some ammunition.

Two hours later, these planes flew back into Yaokong. At this time, the symbol of the US Air Force on the fuselage was gone. A group of Iraqi Air Force fighters appeared around the plane.

These aircraft formations, after departing from the 3 Air Force Bases, head eastward, preparing to enter the Bakhtaran area.

All air defense networks in eastern Iraq have been launched. If something happens to the United States and other valuable transport planes, Iraq will also be in great trouble.

The Mi 24 armed helicopter in the east has already set off and started flying in the mountains of the Iranian Plateau.

Due to the turbulence of airflow, the power of helicopters on the plateau will drop, and it is difficult to fly 24 meters. However, they also took off resolutely and patrolled the surrounding areas.

The Iranian Air Force had lost its offensive ability in the last bombing. Even if they discovered Iraqi aircraft, they did not have any good responses.

The company commander of the infantry division led a team to the open open space and sent soldiers to search the surrounding areas. Moreover, after laying out sentries at the commanding heights, he was waiting for the legendary supply to arrive.

The Iranian Plateau is really cold! The company commander wrapped in a military coat and looked at Yaokun. Is there really a chance to come?

Suddenly, the company commander heard a sound of propellers swaying the air, and the sound became louder and louder from far to near.

Really an airplane?

The company commander raised his head and saw two helicopters he was familiar with, the Soviet-imported meter helicopters equipped by the Iraqi Air Force!

How many helicopters can transport this kind of helicopter at a time? His entire company, the field rations consumed by one in and one in the other, were filled with them.

Allah blessed, they are not kidding, are they?

The company commander looked at it with a gaze. The helicopter did not drop anything, but turned around twice, and then flew away.

Then, a huge roar came from behind, and the company commander raised his head, which was shocked this time.

What a big plane!

Mi ˉ24 is just a pioneer in the way of exploration, and behind is the real transport and supply aircraft!

The plane flew very low, only a few hundred meters above the ground, making it even more realistic.

The soldiers on the ground cheered. Although the company commander was a little puzzled, when did the Air Force have such a large plane? However, he still placed three signal flares on Yaoshan as arranged in advance.

The cargo door at the rear of the plane opened, and then pieces of supplies were airdropped.

Looking at the umbrella flowers floating on Yao, the company commander shouted: "I have seen everything, and I can't lose one!" He counted and found that there were a total of twenty umbrella flowers on Yao.

Most of the supplies landed in flat areas, and two items were blown a few kilometers away.

However, there was already a platoon of soldiers running with those umbrellas. They must recover the supplies, and no one can be missing!

Seeing the supplies landed, the company commander ran over happily and opened the half-height of the supplies, which were well-buried. Inside were brand new white cotton jackets!

The above said that they would be given a special combat clothing for snow for each entry. At first, the company commander did not take it seriously. However, the recent attacks made him deeply feel the importance of this kind of clothing. Wearing white clothes will minimize the danger.

"Every time you get one, we will change it!" said the company commander: "Secretary of the company, you are responsible for distributing it."

When he opened several other items, some were clothes and some were food. Especially when he saw canned beef with other words printed inside, he became even happier. The field rations were too difficult to chew and had no taste. This canned beef was really a good thing!

The United States’ action to support Iraq, so it simply brought some of the food it stocks for free to Iraq. This is a friendly expression. Anyway, it is about to expire, and it still cannot be finished.

The 15th Armored Division, who had left the mountainous areas and entered the valley, were also waiting for the arrival of supplies. They were mechanized troops and had a greater demand for logistics supplies, especially fuel and ammunition.

Both of these supplies are carried out by a 130 transport aircraft.

When the 130 was designed, it was to meet the actual requirements of tactical air transport. Compared with previous transport aircraft, a very prominent aspect is the large rear cargo door of the aluminum alloy semi-hard shell structural body.

Abed, the commander of the 15th Armored Division, had arranged the entire site for receiving materials. There were empty and flat land, and dozens of parallel steel cables were required to be arranged on the ground. Then, after doing a good job in the guard, they began to wait for the materials to be received.

What are the uses of those steel cables? No one knows.

They just need to watch.

After waiting for a few hours, the first one that came was the Mi ˉ24 armed helicopter, which completely searched the surroundings and then began to hover in key defensive areas to prevent accidents.

Then, I heard the buzzing sound of a unique propeller transport plane flying in.

Abed looked up and saw a transport plane flying over from the mountains behind.

This is a four-propeller engine transport aircraft, which looks big, and the other party flies very low and very slow!

Since it is already a wilderness, transport planes can safely fly low.

The cargo hold door at the rear of the 130 transport aircraft has been opened during flight. This design cargo hold door with two upper and lower openings is a good cargo airdrop platform when the air door is lowered, especially when it is now a good loading and unloading ramp on the ground.

130 When designing, there is a tactical requirement, and it is necessary to be able to fly stably at a low speed of 25 kilometers per hour to prepare for the current delivery of materials.

In the surprised eyes of the Iraqi armored soldiers, they saw a piece of cargo slipping down from the cargo door at the rear!

They did not see that after the cargo hold door opened, a hook was released, and the other end of the hook was connected to the cargo pallet and cargo. When the plane was flying by sweeping the ground, the hook meshes with the pre-placed steel cable on the ground, and the cargo was dragged out from the rear door.

Everything seemed weird.

Even if the ramp with a tail is very slow, the goods are still very fast when they come down. At this time, the energy absorption system on the pallet begins to work, the goods slide forward, and then slow down and stop.

Abed was very happy to see the goods that were falling safely. The first thing he saw was the four 55-gallon oil barrels placed on one pallet!

With these oils, you can continue fighting!

A 130 can supply about ten tons of materials to the frontier positions in this way, and several 130s mainly provide supplies to the First Armored Division first.

Not only oil, this kind of supply method can also be replenished, in addition to grenades that trigger fuses.

This air supply was very successful because Iran did not realize that Iraq would adopt this method of supply, which was simply impossible for Iraq.

Moreover, due to the last air strike, several long-range early warning radars that Iran entered, Iran's control ability on the western plateau has been reduced to a minimum level. Iraq's entry has strictly protected the airborne area, and armed helicopters patrolling around, so Iran's entry cannot get close.

Looking at the transport plane on Yao's way away, Abed was extremely excited. Originally, his armored troops were always behind, and the First Armored Division was always fighting the forward. Later, the First Armored Division was transferred to defend the north, and his armored troops had a day to make a comeback. Now, they have obtained supplies. Below, his mission is to take Bahtalan!

"The Fifteenth Armored Division, hurry up and make time to replenish supplies. Bakhtaran is only 80 kilometers away from us. We must fight to Bakhtaran as soon as possible!" Abed issued an order in the radio.
Chapter completed!
