Chapter 1010 Orbital Airborne Troops!
In mid-April, the Ukrainian civil war entered a fever pitch, with mercenaries continuously crossing the Polish border and entering Ukraine to support the pro-Western Poroshenko government. In this war, Arrowhead Company came into the international community's sight for the first time. This mercenary organization, whose combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the regular army, owns tanks, artillery, and armed helicopters. On the battlefield, they ignore any international laws and use the most brutal means to kill people. their enemies.
However, in this regard, the United States, Europe and other countries only gave a symbolic condemnation without any pain. No one will use international law to prosecute a private company that does not even know where it is registered. This set of double standards is just like what they did in Iraq, pointing the finger at private military contractors who already have a bad record.
There are rumors that Star Ring Trade will intervene in this war. However, except for trains filled with supplies being pulled to the Russian-Ukrainian border, there is no news about Star Ring Trading sending troops. At first, the Ukrainian government nervously condemned it, but after discovering that there was no obvious action from Starlink Trading, it relaxed a little.
As a dog raised by the Freemasons, Willy will work hard to collect intelligence in Russia and keep an eye on the trends of the Star Ring trade. They would not naively think that Jiang Chen was just joking with them. Their master, Carmen, knew better than anyone else that Jiang Chen was a person who could do anything.
In late April, after the employment contract with the Donetsk Chocolate Factory was officially signed, Star Ring Trading completed the war planning and the deployment of all troops within three days.
Thirty-six thousand kilometers away in Star Ring City, a dark transport ship left the port from the side.
At first glance, this spacecraft looks somewhat similar to the Russian-designed Grand Duke Oleg. It has the same angular cuboid design and the same four-unit engine at the rear. But if you take a closer look, you can still clearly see the difference between the two. The Starlink Trading transport ship is obviously larger than the Grand Duke Oleg, and the four-unit engine at the tail is not the same. Chemical power, but based on the principle of electric propulsion.
After leaving the port, the transport ship turned around in a familiar manner. After reducing its speed, it flew along the flight track below the synchronous orbit to the area of 30 degrees east longitude, then accelerated its orbit and returned to the synchronous orbit.
In the airspace at 30 degrees east longitude, there are ten transport ships hovering. These transport ships are pulled by mechanical arms and arranged side by side, just like a bamboo raft unfolding on a synchronous orbit.
Leaning against the window of the transport ship, Zhang Feng, who put on the mechanical exoskeleton, glanced at the scenery outside the window.
Looking down from here, Europe is brightly lit. However, their destination has nothing to do with the center of the prosperous world, but the darkest corner, Ukraine, which is only dotted with artillery fire.
"Jumping from an altitude of more than 30,000 kilometers is very exciting, isn't it? Don't get me wrong.
I'm not afraid, for me it's just about going back to my hometown. "The Slavic soldier grinned.
Zhang Feng glanced at him twice, but said nothing. The origins of their team can be said to be diverse. The only thing they have in common is that there is not a single recruit standing here.
At this time, a dark shadow outside the window slowly approached.
Zhang Feng glanced at his arm and happened to see the red signal light on the watch embedded in the exoskeleton arm guard.
Time is up.
"The last train is here, I wish you good luck." After patting the Slavic boy's arm, Zhang Feng picked up the rifle leaning on the side, buttoned up his helmet, stretched his stiff neck, and headed towards the warehouse. Go.
Counting the approaching one, these eleven transport ships are the entire property of Star Ring Trade. In order to carry out this large-scale airborne mission, Ivan even borrowed the transport ships used by the Space Department to travel between Halo City and the lunar colony.
When the last transport ship entered the queue, the entire transport ship formation moved as if a chemical reaction had occurred.
The bottom hatch slowly opened, and the cargo compartment tilted slightly downward. Dumplings under the pyramid-shaped iron boxes seemed to float out from the hatch, spurting out short flames from the cracks in their necks, and falling towards the earth one after another.
Thirty thousand kilometers away, in the northern suburbs of Donetsk, night has drawn the curtain on the battlefield. Trench after trench divides the streets outside the city. From time to time, green tracer bullets shoot out from the bunkers and shuttle between positions. . Sporadic sniper rifle shots were like a demon urging death, taking away every living life.
The sound of distant artillery fire sounded from time to time, and the soldiers squatting in the trenches were accustomed to it. The shells plowed through every inch of the land here, leaving black scorch marks like scars on every corner of the city.
This line of defense is the last lifeline of the civilian armed forces. It directly determines whether the Donetsk People's Republic will cross the border behind it and degenerate from a democratically elected government to a government in exile.
About fifteen kilometers to the north, there is an artillery position of the Ukrainian government army, where the 11th Artillery Brigade of the 5th Ukrainian Infantry Division is deployed. An hour ago, they received orders to fire at the defense line in the northern suburbs of Donetsk to provide fire support for the Arrow Company mercenaries who were attacking civilian armed positions.
"Look! What is that!?" A Ukrainian soldier pointed to the sky and screamed.
Shining bright spots fell from the sky, looking like a sky lantern from a distance, but these "lights" were too high and too dazzling.
"Shet! It's the rockets of the idiots?! No...it doesn't look like it...damn it, what on earth are those things?!" Another Ukrainian soldier cursed nervously.
Those bright spots didn't give them much time to prepare. Accompanied by deafening roars, airdrop pods that seemed to be burning broke through the sound barrier, tore open the curtain of the night, and fell on the artillery position of the Ukrainian government army.
A self-propelled artillery was hit directly on the roof by the airdrop pod. It was directly smashed into scrap metal, and the wide turret was completely sunk into the body of the vehicle. High-pressure steam rushed out from the prism-shaped iron box, and the hatch slammed forward. Four soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons got out of the hatch from four directions and rushed to the nearest bunker.
The airdrop pods fell one after another, dividing the Ukrainian army's positions like flowers everywhere. The identity of the friendly forces was marked on the digital helmet, and the night vision goggles made the dark battlefield as clear as day. In this chaos, explosions sounded one after another, hiding the screams and wails.
The artillery fire from the north suddenly stopped, and the resistance of civilian armed forces revived. After suffering a lot of casualties, the mercenaries of Arrow Company had to retreat backwards.
At the same time, angry roars sounded in the command room dozens of kilometers away.
With his eyes red, the officer grabbed the communications soldier's collar tightly and roared with flying stars.
"The 11th Artillery Brigade was completely wiped out? Russian airborne troops? Without planes, where would the airborne troops come from?"
"No, I, I don't know." The signal soldier's facial muscles tangled together, looking like he was about to cry.
At this moment, the man who had been standing silently beside him suddenly spoke.
"Not Russian."
Loosening his grip on the signal soldier's collar, the officer turned around, looked at the man, and raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? Not Russian? Do you want to say he is one of your people?"
"It's from Star Ring Trading," the man said solemnly, "We may be in trouble."
