270. Preparation before airborne operations
Christchurch, Christchurch, New Zealand, Christchurch International Airport.
Under the escort of two fighter squadrons, one hundred and eighty heavy equipment transport planes landed at the airfield, and due to the reason of the aircraft, the base did not have a special design for paratrooper transport aircraft. All transport aircraft at the base are equipped transport aircraft.
The framework of the airborne divisions of the Soviet Union and the base is different from that of the Soviet Red Army, the People's Liberation Army, and the Allied Forces.
An airborne division has three paratrooper combat regiments (the standard regiment of the People's Liberation Army), a special battalion directly under the division headquarters, an artillery battalion directly under the division headquarters, and an armored battalion directly under the division headquarters. In addition, there are some logistical support establishments, such as field hospitals and war kitchens.
However, it is very embarrassing that the airborne division with such an establishment is still not comparable to the 101st Air Assault Division (101st Airborne Division).
The gunsmiths of the two airborne divisions assembled on the runway, and the two division commanders prepared for the pre-war mobilization.
"Comrades, this is New Zealand, a southern hemisphere resort, and now we are going to strike from this place to Tasmania and build a bridgehead there. We are in the vanguard of this operation, we are going to open the way for the deep-sea Soviets, and after they come ashore, it will be none of our business, understand?"
"Understand !!"
"Disband!"
At this time, there are still five days left before the launch of the landing.
In order to make the airborne troops at the base in a very good state, a group of buses were specially sent to the airport to pick up the girls and go to the beach near Gavernasbay for a vacation.
The two division commanders looked at the excited girls, sighed and sighed: "I don't know how much the establishment can be preserved after this airborne." ”
"We're all new recruits who have just finished training, and we conservatively estimate that we'll lose at least half. Alas, damn war. ”
When a division commander lamented the cruelty of the war, another person took out a CD: "If I die, remember to help me clear the game, I want a B ending." ”
"Okay comrade, I'm the same, if I die, remember to help me finish the chase. ”
These two veterans know the cruelty of airborne operations, as soon as they enter the battlefield, they are surrounded, there is no rear support, there is no logistical supply, everything can only be relied on themselves.
When the Allies landed in the Gulf of Tonkin, they airdropped a total of eight divisions, but by the time the battle was over, all eight airborne divisions were disabled, and five of them even lost their division headquarters.
(The losses of the paratroopers in the Normandy landings were just as large, and since the Allies had no experience in the large-scale use of paratroopers, the already powerful paratrooper division was forcibly divided into several parts and airborne, so it was ...... )
After three hours of turbulence, the two paratrooper divisions of the Sino-Soviet joint base finally arrived at the beach, which should be a fairly safe beach, and the other large beaches were planted by the deep-sea White Army with anti-infantry mines to defend against the landing of the deep-sea Soviet Red Army.
There was nothing on this beach, and there were no anti-tank horses, only the sound of waves crashing on the shore.
The girls gather at the beach in camps and divide the area to start their vacation.
"Umbrella beach chairs, Coca-Cola sandwiches, standard on beach vacations. ”
"You're so laid-back, maybe in five days you'll even fall off the plane with someone. ”
My comrade-in-arms sat down next to me with a can of beer.
"That's why we have to hurry up and enjoy the happiness, and when the war starts, I will be nervous. I replied indifferently, and the tone sounded a lot like that of the students in the last days of the holidays.
"That's why you're lazy here, you're a soldier. ”
I took a sip of Coke and put on my sunglasses: "It's okay, I'll fight well when I fight anyway, but I carry the Glory Bullet with me anytime and anywhere." ”
Just a few months ago, I was a man who had just crossed the 38th parallel with the army, but I ended up in Okinawa overnight.
And she also took on the appearance of an underage girl...... But fortunately, this new army is the same as the one I used to be in, so I still have a goal to strive for.
It has to be said that this body is stronger and more powerful than the previous body, and it can also save space when fighting transportation and supply. In the past, our trucks had to carry enough chow mein and weapons and ammunition, but now we only need to bring weapons and ammunition.
"Comrade Xia, Senior Commander Yang is looking for you. ”
Just as I was thinking, someone called me from behind.
"Commander, hey, here!"
I went to the coffee shop by the sea, and the waiter was an inhumane deep-sea destroyer, and to be honest, I still think that the comrades on the other side of the deep sea look a little infiltrating, just like the first time I met a black American.
"Division Commander, Xia Weidong reports to you, please instruct!"
"Comrade Xiao Xia is here, sit here quickly, do you want something to drink?"
I waved my hand to refuse: "No need division commander, I have a task?"
"That's right, and it's a dangerous mission, and you're one of the few veterans in the entire army, so I think it's best for you to give it to you. ”
"What task?"
"Don't worry, this mission is very dangerous and may be sacrificed, so I hope you ......"
There will be sacrifices, so let me think carefully, isn't this looking down on people, Lao Tzu was the first to enter the court, the first to cross the 38th parallel!
"I'm not afraid of death, what's the mission?"
The division commander looked at me for a few moments, then took out a map and said solemnly: "That's right, the white deep sea has deployed a special radar station in the central part of Tasmania, this radar is so sensitive that even a screw can be clearly displayed, so I hope you can lead the team to destroy it." ”
"Even the screws, doesn't that mean?"
"That's right. The division commander followed my words: "You can't carry any metal objects on this mission, including weapons and ammunition, which means you have to undergo reverse transformation and turn back into a human. ”
Hearing this, I was silent for a long time. After all, the Abyssal Infantry is essentially a steel machine, and I'm going to use my human body to fight against the steel soldiers.
Damn, who's afraid of whom, didn't Lao Tzu still use grenade explosives packs against American tanks in the first place!
"I accept this task, shall I go by myself or?"
"You have five teammates, and they are a special group of firearms girls from our friendly army--- the Chinese People's Liberation Army. ”
Pla?!
I heard you right! Is it really the Chinese People's Liberation Army? Could it be that there are many comrades-in-arms who have come here as inexplicably as I am!
"You're going now, we're going to take you to Tasmania with a plastic drone, good luck and may you and your comrades return safely. ”
"Yes!
