Chapter 270: Parachuting under the fire of the cannonballs
The night over the Atlantic Ocean is like a man-eating beast, and it is terrifying. The dark gray clouds of the night served as cover, and the C-47 group carrying the 506 paratrooper regiment was heading to their destination.
On the C-47 plane of No. 67, everyone was silent, only the loud and noisy engine and the vibration of the propeller reminded everyone that they would not have a chance to fall asleep.
Goneri held the cross and silently recited some words, as if he knew about the death of his brother Henry in Monte Cassino.
Maraki looked uneasily at the inside of the plane, looking at his nervous appearance, as if the plane would disintegrate in the next second. Joe Toy was biting his nails, and Mook was borrowing a fire from Smith because he wanted to smoke.
Li Wei sat quietly watching the crowd's actions, and at this time, he noticed that Lieutenant Winters had done the same.
Lieutenant Winters also noticed Leyway's movements and smiled at him one by one. Li Wei nodded to the other party, and then touched his helmet. This action is the action of Lieutenant Winters, which means that there is no hindrance.
Seven hours before the Normandy landings, everyone on the plane remained in the same sitting position, perhaps because of nervousness or physical saving.
Li Wei has opened his perception to the maximum range, although it will consume a lot of energy, but with the title of [Adventurer], the effect just offsets the energy value consumed.
The bumpy flight made people want to vomit, and the airsickness medicine issued to everyone by Dr. Eugene had its effect, and the effect of the medicine suppressed the desire to vomit.
"It's finally here......" Li Wei saw the object that appeared in his perception range, and immediately opened his eyes.
"Bang, bang!!" The rest of the people also heard the sound of artillery fire and became nervous. Accompanied by the sound of artillery fire was one white light after another, which was the lighting effect attached to the self-detonation of the anti-aircraft gun.
At this moment, a dazzling red light illuminated the entire interior of the cabin of the 67th flight!
"Get ready!" Lieutenant Winters shouted and gestured to prepare, as he fastened his military cap.
"Stand up!" the group stood up at Lieutenant Winters' gesturing, then lined up.
"Hook!" the group hooked their hands to open the parachute to the steel cable in the cabin.
"Check the equipment!" shouted Lieutenant Winters with his hand on his shoulder.
"Equipment inspection report!" Lieutenant Winters shouted to his ear.
"Ready for the tenth!" "Ready for the nine!" "Ready for the eighth!" began to shout from Muk, who was at the end of the line, while patting his comrades in front of him on the shoulders to signal to continue counting.
The sound of artillery fire became stronger and stronger, and the frequency became more and more urgent, but they could only wait because the pilot did not give the green light signal to allow the parachute jump.
As the planes got closer and closer to the landing zone, the planes had to descend to a suitable altitude, but this also meant that they lost the protection of the clouds and went into the firing range of the anti-aircraft guns.
The No. 67 plane, where the second row was located, began to fly in a turbulent manner to avoid the anti-aircraft guns, and the people who had been standing up to prepare staggered because they lost their center of gravity, and some even crashed into the cabin wall.
"MD! Haven't we reached the landing zone yet?
A loud bang came from the right with a !!loud bang.
"Ah!!h When I turned my head, I saw that the plane on the side had broken in two, but the paratroopers in the cabin could not open the parachute, making them scream for help and despair.
White mushroom-shaped projectiles continued to emerge from the sky, these were paratroopers fighting for their lives, and the German anti-aircraft guns began to fire intensively into the sky. Many of the paratroopers were hit directly or indirectly by anti-aircraft guns before they could land, turning into a ball of fireball that slowly drifted downward.
"Quick...... Fast...... Come ......," Joe Toy whispered the same sentence, as if urging the green light to come.
Maybe the pilot and Joe Toy had a secret, and after he chattered for half a minute, the green light really came on!
"Let's go!" Lieutenant Winters shouted, and he jumped out of the cabin first, followed by Joe Toy, Ivans, Handers, Goneri, and then Dawn.
"Bang!" the parachute opened smoothly, and Li Wei's life now only depends on luck.
From a bird's-eye view from the air, you can see that there will be tongues of fire firing anti-aircraft guns into the air at intervals, which are naturally the sentry lines of the German army. As ordinary people, all they can do is wait for God to decide their fate, but Li Wei will not sit still, the parachute cannot be steered because it is too heavy and has wind resistance, but these are pediatrics in front of Li Wei, and he is now maneuvering the parachute to follow the wind direction and find a suitable landing area.
"Pounce on the ......" Le Wei Shun escaped the German lines, and then landed next to a jungle, this position was some distance from the German outpost, and the soldiers were in chaos, as long as Li Wei could quickly free himself from the entanglement of parachuting, he could leave safely.
"Bump, bump, bump!" the tongue of fire of the anti-aircraft gun beckoned into the sky, and Li Wei shrank back and began to check what he had left. In order to avoid the eyes of others, Li Wei did not put all the equipment into the space, but he still bought an insurance and put the M1 rifle into the space when he parachuted.
"It's good to put it away, otherwise it would really be empty-handed......" Li Wei looked at the leg bag with only one rope left, and took out the M1 rifle from the space and said.
"Lightning!" At this moment, a slogan came from behind Li Wei, which was a verification password between the army.
"Thunder!" Li Wei immediately responded.
"Soldier, your number. Li Wei looked at the other party's shoulder, there was no shoulder badge of any class, it was obviously an ordinary soldier.
"James Ryan, Company E, 1st Battalion, 506th Regiment. "The other party reported his name and the company he belonged to.
“…… Sergeant William Lai, Company E, 2nd Battalion, 506th Regiment. When Li Wei heard the other party's name, he was visibly stunned, but soon reported his name, military rank and number. The James Ryan didn't notice Lee's expression, still looking down to check his gear.
"Who the hell are you, and the system would give you such a generous reward for issuing a hidden mission?" Li Wei thought as he looked at Ryan's youthful appearance, rubbing his chin.
