The Russian-Ukrainian war seems to have entered the “midfield”, and the United States, which has been actively intervening, is even more eager to move. However, the United States has been playing the role of support from weapons funds and the so-called “moral”. The more unfavorable it is, the possibility that the United States will directly send troops to participate in the war seems to be gradually increasing.
Recently, a piece of news is particularly eye-catching. 4,700 people from the world-famous US Army 101st Air Assault Division have been deployed to Ukraine’s southern neighbor of Romania near the Uro border, and will soon hold a military exercise with the Romanian army using the Russian army as an imaginary enemy. , there is a “mountain and rain about to come and the wind fills the building” posture.
I believe that no matter which country in the world is a military fan, the 101st Airborne Division will be familiar with the 101st Airborne Division. This unit with the “Whistling Eagle” as its logo is worthy of the elite ace unit of the United States. It was founded in the First World War and was originally an army. The army infantry unit, the war ended soon after its establishment, and the unit was hastily reorganized into a reserve force.
After the United States entered the war in World War II, in view of the strong role played by the airborne troops owned by the Nazis in the war, the United States also urgently needed to form an airborne force to compete with it, so 101 also came into operation from time to time, and was immediately reorganized from the bench to an active duty force, and It is an airborne force that will surely take on the heavy responsibility.
The maiden work of the 101st Airborne Division was the magnificent “D-Day Operation” in Normandy. The 101st Airborne Division attracted a lot of excitement when it debuted. I saw the officers and soldiers of the Airborne Division, all with weird shaved Indian Mohican warrior hairstyles, painted on their faces. Oil paint, listening to the speech of General Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the US military, who hurried to make their way. Then boarded the plane and flew to the German-occupied area to perform dangerous airborne operations behind enemy lines. Eisenhower is said to have watched them go with tears in his eyes, knowing that many would never return.
The 101st Airborne Division really lived up to expectations and became famous in World War I. Later, in the “City Garden” operation, the largest airborne operation in World War II, together with the British Airborne Forces, they swept the German troops in the Netherlands and Belgium, and attacked the German mainland.
Germany immediately launched the “Ardennes Counterattack”, which severely thwarted the British and American forces and might have turned the tide of the war on the Western Front. At the critical moment, 101 dragged down the German army several times its own, gaining time for the U.S. military to readjust, and 101 also suffered huge casualties. In World War II, the 101st Airborne Division made many extraordinary achievements, and finally the entire division was awarded the “Excellent Troop” by the United States, which was the first time in the history of the US military.
Later, this history was brought to the silver screen in recent years. Spielberg, the famous American film director, had never directed a TV series before, but when he saw the script of the TV series with the history of the 101st Airborne Division in World War II as the main content, he immediately I was fascinated and decided to use the method of making a movie to make a “Band of Brothers” with the 101 Airborne Division as the protagonist. “The logo is familiar to military fans all over the world, and many men’s clothing is embroidered with the bald eagle as a promotional stunt.
After World War II, the 101st Airborne Division left Europe, and participated in the Vietnam War and the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan successively. The combat methods of the troops have also kept pace with the times and have been continuously developed. Now they are no longer simply regarded as airborne troops, but It is a special operations force that can act as a variety of fast maneuvering methods. It can be urgently deployed to any part of the world within 24 hours. Similarly, every time it goes out, it will inevitably mean that the US military will have new major war operations.
Now, the 101st Air Assault Division has reappeared in Europe after a lapse of more than 70 years, which has aroused widespread speculation in the world. Will they take on the task of the US military taking the lead in fighting the Russian army?
For this reason, the commander of the 101st Air Strike Division made no secret, claiming that the 101st unit is responsible for the defense of NATO allies (referring to Romania). If the war threatens Romania, the 101st unit will officially enter the Ukraine war!
These words sound like ambiguous diplomatic rhetoric, but throughout the history of the U.S. military, there are many precedents for adding guilt and guilt. What they mean by “threatened” is completely unpredictable, and it is basically an excuse .
101 The “sharp knife” of the U.S. military has now been unsheathed, and the blade is pointing directly at the Russian army. This aggressive posture has already revealed what actions the United States is about to take, which inevitably makes peace-loving people sincerely worry. Continue to deteriorate, especially if any new changes occur, the US military and NATO troops, who have long been eyeing Russia impatiently, are very likely to find an excuse and they will openly and officially start war! The world will face an even greater crisis.
