Lebed's Tula Airborne Division took off from the garrison overnight on a military transport plane to Georgia to take control of the situation there.
From the time the order was received to the time it set off, it took only an hour for the Tula Airborne Division to prepare for the airborne landing of a range of equipment, including heavy weapons such as armored vehicles and tanks.
Lebed could never have imagined that he would receive an order to counter-insurgency in his lifetime.
The entire Soviet Union, from the general secretary to the common people, could have imagined that the situation in Georgia would deteriorate to such a level.
When the plane crossed most of the western part of the Soviet Union and finally landed in Georgia in the south of the motherland, Lebed could not help but feel a little stressed.
He did not know what the Georgians would think of his troops when he walked out of the hatch with his troops and drove the tanks into the streets of Tbilisi.
Thus, without warning, Lebed's vanguard took control of the airport, and Lebed himself read out the order of the Ministry of Defense calling for air traffic control in Tbilisi.
Immediately after that, the tanks on the Il-transport plane began to leave the plane and slowly headed towards the city of Tbilisi on the highway outside the airport.
The Airborne Forces were the elite units of the Soviet Union, while the Tula Airborne Division was the elite of the Airborne Forces.
Since the time of Khrushchev, almost every leader of the Soviet Union has regarded the Airborne Forces as the first choice for dealing with crises.
They appeared in the October Protests in Hungary, the Poznan Protests in Poland, and the counterinsurgency operations in Prague in 1968.
However, using military means to solve economic problems is fundamentally going in the wrong direction.
During the march, Lebed's troops soon contacted the armored convoy of the Soviet Red Army in the Georgian region.
Under the authority of the Ministry of Defense, Lebed took over the command of the Georgian tank guards.
After the two units converged at the Tbilisi field, the tank units first opened roads in front, and in the rear were the Tula Airborne Division, which rode on armored vehicle transporters.
The mighty troops marched to Tbilisi, causing the troubled opposition in the city to begin to panic.
At this time, Gamsa Khurdia, who was still not heard, began to make a new speech, calling on the Georgian people to show their courage to the enemy and block the path of the tanks with their bodies.
At the instigation of Gamsa Khurdia, some Georgian people who had lost their minds and had been successfully brainwashed really gathered with their bare hands on the path of advancing towards the armored forces.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the Lebed and Tula airborne divisions had to get out of the car.
Then Lebed's Tula Airborne Division gave the order to fight, and all the adult men present were arrested.
Lebed only targets adult men because the Ministry of Defence's order specifically emphasizes the need to treat women and children with care, as well as the elderly.
Because once it hurts these special people, it will not only make the contradiction more uncontrollable, but also give the Western media a mouthful.
The fighters of the Tula Airborne Division cleared these men in only half an hour.
They were tied up and dragged onto trucks and handed over to the local Georgian garrison for strict guarding.
Subsequently, the Tula Airborne Division continued its advance, and in less than twenty minutes, it entered the city of Tbilisi.
When Lebed led his troops to the city of Tbilisi.
The situation here is much worse than outside the city.
The Georgians, arm in arm, blocked the way of the advance of the troops with their bodies.
Lebed stood on top of the armored car and looked into the distance, and there was no end in sight.
I'm afraid there will be tens of thousands of people.
That's how good it is.
Lebed ordered all his troops to be reloaded with rubber bullets, and resolutely refused to shoot unless absolutely necessary.
At the same time, the Tula airborne division began to drive the crowd away with tear gas.
Dozens of smoke grenades were thrown into the crowd.
The Georgians who had gathered together finally began to flee.
Many Georgians could not stand the smell of tear gas and began to flee.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Tula Airborne Division also began to pick up rubber rods in their hands and began to drive away the Georgians who blocked the road.
The soldiers of the Tula Airborne Division put on gas masks, most of them laid down their guns, took up rubber and wooden sticks to dispel the crowd and open the way to the seat of the central government of Georgia.
At this moment, the Georgian extremists in the crowd began to provoke, and in the face of the officers and men of the Airborne Division armed with sticks, someone took out daggers and military stabs and began to attack the fighters of the Tula Airborne Division.
This sudden attack left several soldiers wounded and on the ground, most of them due to carelessness and stabbing to the core.
At this moment, the fighters who had been on guard duty at the back of the team could only helplessly knock down these thugs with rubber bullets.
"Woohoo" "The army fired, someone was shot, run" "Ahh "Mommy I want Mommy" A few gunshots frightened the chaotic crowd, and everyone began to crowd desperately in one direction like a demon, and then someone fell, and the people behind unceremoniously stepped on him, and after a few screams, someone fell in a pool of blood, looking like the Tula Airborne Division had really killed someone.
The gunfire completely dumbfounded the Georgian crowd of onlookers, and their rout resulted in more casualties.
Lebed couldn't help but cry out in his heart that it was not good.
The General Office of the Party Committee of Georgia, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Party of Georgia, Patiashvili, was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and now he is waiting for the Airborne Forces from Moscow to take over the city.

Now that persuasion is pointless, Patiashvili expects the incoming team to help him regain control of Tbilisi and impose a curfew on the entire city.
At such a moment, all the members of the Central Party Committee of Georgia have become grasshoppers on a rope.
They finally began to put aside their old suspicions and unite in discussing plans to deal with the opposition.
The only thing that the Georgian party committee finds comfort in is that most of Georgia's enterprises and institutions are still under the control of the government.
The Party Committee decided to send a part of these units to serve as workers' pickets in order to maintain social order in Georgia.
Now the order has already begun.
Most of the units had not yet received a definite response, and at that moment, Patiashvili suddenly heard distant gunshots in the window.
"Dada" "What's the matter, why are there gunshots for hatred?"
asked Patiashvili, who couldn't help but blurt out. t1706231537:
