Chapter seven hundred and seventy-two destruction of the kingfisher
Six large propellers cut through the dim sky. At a height almost close to the ground, a ch-53 helicopter was flying carefully, and its thick fuselage flashed quickly in the sky. This is the sea stallion helicopter produced in the United States. The nationality information on the plane has been completely applied.
They had been flying for nearly two hours, and the helicopter's fuselage was jogging, while the armed personnel inside the fuselage were resting motionlessly with their eyes closed.
Each of them was wearing camouflage cream, similar to the color of their clothes, and they would blend into those desert backgrounds, which was conducive to their actions. They were holding various weapons in their hands. The only thing that could reveal their identity information was probably the tattoo of the little kingfisher on the shoulders below their necks, which was very inconspicuous.
Yes, they are Israel's most elite special forces, Kingfisher Special Forces!
They are the best soldiers in the Israeli Army. After layers of selection, they entered the army that represents the highest glory. Each of them felt proud that they had experienced the most rigorous training and were able to complete the most dangerous tasks.
Although they had experiences of failure and their generals were arrested for their failure, they were still full of fighting spirit. Last year, Israel suffered the first loss in the conflict, which made every Jewish person feel strong. They need to use a happy battle to prove their strength.
This time, they set off from the base and flew across the Mediterranean Sea and entered the border between northern Lebanon and Syria. Then they flew extremely low altitude and went eastward, landing in the rarely-traveled eastern region of Syria.
There, they will complete a special task.
Syria's air defense force is far less powerful than Iraq. Moreover, Syria attaches the most importance to the Damascus area. Most of the air defense force is arranged there, so they enter from a very low altitude from the sea. They are not discovered by Syrian air defense radar.
However, this also led to insufficient range of their planes, which was already the maximum fuel capacity. We still had to let our troops walk dozens of kilometers. At that time, it was just dark, which facilitated their actions.
"Note that you are about to arrive at the landing area." The captain's words from the front cockpit came from the cabin.
The people who were still sleeping just now suddenly became energetic. They quickly carried their equipment on their bodies and prepared for the final preparation.
"For Israel, go to the warhead bravely!" After the captain said, the cabin door opened. The plane had hovered in the air several meters above the ground.
The ropes on both sides were thrown out, and the skilled Kingfisher Special Forces soldiers slid off the rope in a graceful posture.
The two people who slid down first immediately distributed in a fan shape to protect the landing place here, and then the others also slid down.
They were a squad of fifteen people, each carrying a soldier backpack with their supplies and ammunition in it. One of them also held a radio station that was connected to the rear.
After the plane landed, the helicopter flew away. They will return here again at this time tomorrow and take their personnel back.
For the remaining twenty-four hours, the Kingfisher Special Forces team needs to complete the task alone without any support.
However, Captain Golani, the commander who led the team this time, did not think that this was such a difficult task. Since its establishment, the Kingfisher Special Forces have been carrying out various battles deep behind enemy lines. This time, the place they were going to was within 200 kilometers of the surrounding area, and when the Syrians discovered the abnormality, they had already run away.
"Note, follow the scheduled route, we move forward." Captain Golani said, making a gesture at the same time.
This 15-man team soon disappeared into the vast central Syria region.
Stepping on the dead branches on the ground and the weeds that no one has walked through, they move towards their goals.
The night gradually darkened, and everyone wore night vision devices, which were only suitable for the most elite troops like theirs.
After walking for another two hours, the outline of the thing appeared in the eyepiece of the green night vision device.
That long, thick tube, no end at a glance, is their goal!
This is an oil pipeline with black metal flowing inside.
In order to transport its own crude oil and improve its transportation capacity, Iraq has been thinking of various ways. In the Saddam era, although Assad and Saddam were not in a relationship, for profit, Syria still agreed to build an oil pipeline in Syria from the Kirkuk oil field in northern Iraq to the port of Banyas, Syria to export oil.
Kirkuk Oilfield was one of Iraq's main oilfields at that time. Because it was in northern Iraq, it was very inconvenient for Iraq to export oil. From Kirkuk to Basra, it was about the same distance from Kirkuk to Syria to the Mediterranean. If you go to Syria, you can directly transport oil to the Mediterranean. The journey is much closer. Moreover, you don't need to cross the Persian Gulf, and the danger of blocked exports will be minimized.
Therefore, the construction of this pipeline began. After the construction was successful, there will be 200,000 barrels of crude oil every day, which will be directly transferred to the Mediterranean from here.
In history, this pipeline has not been opened for long. After the Iran-Iraq War began, the oil pipeline was completely closed in 1982, and it has not been opened until later generations.
Now, because of Kusai's time travel, it is different from history again. This pipeline was closed for a period of time in 1982. After Iraq supported the battle in the Beka Valley in Syria, the pipeline started again after the promotion of His Excellency Kusai.
Until later, this pipeline was operating normally. Although compared with Iraq's millions of barrels of oil daily output, this pipeline could not transport all oil. Iraq's main channel was still the Persian Gulf, but this pipeline undoubtedly played a great role.
After the last war, Israel completely formed a deadly enemy with Iraq. With the instigation of more right-wing groups, Israel finally planned this operation to attack Iraq from an economic perspective!
Especially under Iraq's operation, the UK temporarily stopped its military cooperation with Israel. Although Israel can turn to the United States and get everything they want from the United States, this incident eventually became a fuse, and Israel needs revenge!
How to retaliate against Iraq is very particular, especially since the United States is spared no effort to support Israel and hopes that the Israeli air force will recover as soon as possible, this oil incident has also brought the relationship between the United States and Iraq closer. The US government actually intends to sell the e-3 early warning aircraft to Iraq. Although it finally gave up under Israel's strong protest, Israel also realized that it is unrealistic to launch a military strike now.
In particular, the Israeli air force is still under reconstruction. They should not have direct confrontation with the Iraqi air force before they are restored.
If you can't fight openly, then come secretly!
It is difficult to carry out activities in Iraq, especially the arrest of General Adam last time, which puts them under great psychological pressure. Therefore, after careful planning, they finally determined an action plan, that is, to destroy Iraq's oil pipeline in Syria! A severe blow to oil transmission capacity!
Compared with the Iraqi army, the Syrian army is purely a fool, especially the oil pipeline is not a military target at all. It can be said that no one is taking care of it. Besides, even if you want to take care of the oil pipeline hundreds of kilometers, you may not be able to see it.
If Israel had not hesitated to dispatch the air force without hesitation and use precise guided weapons to solve the problem in a few minutes, but now it is not possible. Even if the Israeli Air Force can fly to Syria to carry out bombing, the consequences will not be borne by them. God knows what trick will Kusai play!
Therefore, they have to come secretly, do damage, and then sneak away without leaving any trace.
This kind of destruction behind enemy lines is also an operation that Kingfisher special forces are good at.
"Prepare for action," said Golani.
Four snipers occupied the commanding heights around them, dealing with possible dangers at any time, and providing protection for them. The remaining eleven people formed a fan-shaped attack formation and slowly moved forward. Although they knew that in such places where birds did not shit, there was no one else except them, they still strictly followed the requirements during training.
When I arrived in front of the pipe, I could hear the sound of the liquid flowing inside.
Oil pipelines are welded from piece of steel pipes. Some will be buried underground and some will stand above the ground, depending on the specific situation.
This section of oil pipeline is on the base above the ground, which makes it easier for them to start.
Golani made a gesture skillfully, and a team member behind put down his backpack and took out a few things as big as bricks but were a little soft from it.
"Two pieces are enough, don't waste it," said Golani.
The team members had to put two more pieces back, leaving only two pieces. They took these two pieces and stuffed them to the oil pipeline at the top of their heads, and stuck them on them.
Then, he took out another box, pulled out two tubular things from it, stuffed them into the two brick-like things, and then twisted the knob on the box and set the time to fifteen hours, then, they kicked the helicopter again.!~!
