Chapter 5 (II) Elite Paratroopers
Tang Shuxing proposed a way that everyone could not refute, this was the only way, although from their current location to Talifa, if they walked, it would take at least a month to walk continuously, and if they were lucky, they could find transportation, maybe they could shorten the time a little, but the probability of finding transportation was too low, and they could only pray that they were still ruining Spain and ignoring many places.
In the following days, the nine men set off from Barcelona and walked along the tracks for half a month to Valencia, which was already their fastest speed. Fortunately, they found an old engineering vehicle in a factory in Valencia that had not been completely destroyed, and they were able to move slowly on it, calculating that they would arrive in Talifa later than scheduled.
However, when they arrived at Benidorm, they saw "snowflakes" falling from the sky - paratroopers of the Resistance Army falling from the sky.
"It's our people!" Ruben jumped out of the old engineering vehicle and ran forward, then pulled the only signal stick he had always put on his body, waving it desperately.
Tang Shuxing and the others also stopped the car, Quinn and Tang Shuxing glanced at each other, Tang Shuxing looked at the paratroopers falling from the sky, and sighed: "Oh no, it's too late." ”
Soon, they were surrounded by a group of paratroopers on the ground, and Quinn and his commandos, as well as Reuben, immediately identified themselves, but the paratroopers surrounded them, disarmed them, and without saying a word, tied them up behind their backs and stuffed them into a room on the side of the road.
Quinn and the others kicked at the door, cursing at the young paratroopers. The paratroopers guarding the gate did not say a word, but just guarded the door and let them curse.
Tang Shuxing stood at the window, watching their weapons being piled up in the open space outside, and there were still paratroopers falling from the sky, gathering everywhere, and then running in the direction of the city in the distance with neat steps.
Tang Shuxing pointed outside and asked Quinn, "These paratroopers are all elite troops of the Resistance Army, right?" ”
"By or equal measure, they are the longest-trained troops, and as far as I know, there are only 5,000 of them. That's the limit. It is also the trump card that the resistance can come up with, giving them the best equipment, the best battlefield rations, and every qiē is the best. Better than our commandos. Quinn said. Look at the few companions scattered in the corner next to them. Together, they raised their middle fingers out of the window.
Tang Shuxing nodded slightly, and Quinn said: "Most of them have no actual combat experience, and less than 300 of them have participated in skirmishes. The average age is no more than 24 years old, and they are basically young people around 20 years old. ”
"When I was 24 years old, I had been fighting in Iraq for half a year." A commando soldier in the corner with a scar on the side of his eye socket sneered, "They sent this group of rookies out, whether they met the loyal army or the Wehrmacht, it was a dead end." ”
Tang Shuxing looked at the soldier and smiled, he understood what the soldier meant, what he meant was that if this group of elite paratroopers met the loyal army, it should not be difficult to achieve victory, but then they would become arrogant, thinking that the training they received was enough to fight against any unit in Shangdu, even the Wehrmacht, but if the next encounter was against the Wehrmacht, it would definitely be light on the enemy, and then it would be miserable, so this unit must have a smart and warlike commander.
Tang Shuxing looked at the window, the soldiers who ran by one after another, and said in a low voice: "Do you know what I would do if I were Reinhardthi? ”
Everyone else looked at him, and Pablo held Ace in the corner and looked at him with wide eyes.
Tang Shuxing took out a map from Quinn, and then pointed to a place on it and said: "If I were him, I would lay a defensive line near the Pyrenees and let the Resistance fight hard, but in the end, I must let them win, and at the same time let them taste the great sweetness again, then the Resistance will send people from Africa into Spain to collect supplies or something after a short rest in Spain, and on the other hand, let troops enter France." ”
Quinn nodded, "What next?" ”
"France is next to Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, and has a long coastline, and I will place the superior forces of Shangdu in this position!" The Tang Shu torturers slowly moved to the Middle East region, "Jordan, Arabia and Israel along this line." ”
"We also have superior forces in Egypt." Ruben interjected from the side, "They're not that easy to attack. ”
"Don't forget, what's the point!" Tang Shuxing shook his head and said, "Suez Canal!" Unless you have long since defended the banks of the canal, this is a big opening, from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, how long is the route? What if African troops are transferred to Europe? The front of the Resistance Army will stretch for tens of thousands of kilometers, and if there is a gap in any place, Africa will be finished, and this is modern warfare, not World War II. ”
Quinn looked at the map and nodded, "You mean, Shang Du deliberately let us stretch the battle line?" ”
"Yes, you do the math, how many men will be needed to occupy Spain, how many people will be needed to counterattack France, and if you enter France, how many troops will you have to deploy on the former borders? The strength of the Resistance and Shangdu was originally disproportionate, and the logistics could not keep up at all, how many soldiers could the air force of Shangdu transport in a day, and what about the Resistance? Tang Shuxing showed the map to Quinn and said, "No matter which end of the family starts a feint, even if it is a feint from the sea, the resistance army has to shrink its own defense line, and how much materials and fuel will it cost to do this?" The previous offensive and counteroffensive were completely useless, one feint to exit, the other came after, fought for a few days and retreated, you dared to catch up, you fell into the trap, and in less than a month, the soldiers of the resistance army were all tired, and then they became meat on people's chopping boards, to be slaughtered! ”
Quinn nodded, "Idiots can think of it, it's still too late, you can withdraw it." ”
With that, Quinn continued to kick the door, telling the soldiers outside to call their commander in, but the soldiers still stood there as if they were deaf, motionless.
"What if it's you? What are you going to do? Ruben asked Tang Shuxing next to him.
Tang Shuxing looked out the window. After a long time, he said: "If you want to counterattack, what kind of Europe to fight, concentrate superior forces, and fight directly towards Shangdu itself." ”
Ruben shook his head: "Across the Indian Ocean!" ”
"You know that, too?" Tang Shuxing looked at Reuben, "So, what the Resistance Army is doing now is in vain, and now you understand what I mean?" Finally, if you have some capital, you should defend and develop, and don't take back the lost ground, without that diamond diamond. Don't do porcelain work! ”
Speaking of which. Tang Shuxing said again: "Also, there is one place that I don't understand, there are still superior air forces, and there will definitely be intercontinental missiles and the like." Why not attack Africa? If Reinhardt really wants to get Africa. Africa has long been taken down. The Resistance is long gone. ”
After Tang Shuxing finished speaking, he saw that none of the people around him spoke, and he knew that they must have had the same questions for so many years. But I don't want to figure it out, after all, if I can live one day at a time, I am deceiving myself.
Finally, a man with the rank of colonel wore a simple breathing apparatus and walked towards the side of the room, and was obviously stunned when he saw Tang Shuxing in the window, stood there for a long time, and suddenly raised his feet and walked to the door, and asked the soldier to open the door, but the soldier couldn't open the chain for a long time, and the officer seemed to be in a hurry, and tore the chain open with his own hands, opened the door and walked in, and came directly to Tang Shuxing.
The officer looked Tang Shuxing up and down, then smiled, laughing loudly and exaggeratedly, and then looked around him and said, "Where is your knife?" ”
Tang Shuxing was also stunned when he heard him say this, and felt that the person in front of him must know himself, otherwise it would be impossible to say such a thing, at this time, a soldier stepped forward and handed Tang Shuxing's dragon lin blade and yin bee over.
While the officer took the sword, he tore off his breathing apparatus and mask, as well as the sunglasses on his face, and simply threw the steel helmet on the ground, and then hugged Tang Shuxing.
Tang Shuxing still didn't recognize who this person was, and Quinn and Reuben didn't know who he was, until the man let go of Tang Shuxing, wiped away his tears, and stared into Tang Shuxing's eyes, Tang Shuxing was still looking at his scarred face, shaking his head to show that he didn't know who he was.
"Colin. Will! I'm Colin! The officer looked at Tang Shuxing and smiled, "Nine years ago, Hashima, Japan! Have you forgotten about jì!? ”
Tang Shuxing suddenly realized at this time, hugged Colin and said, "Damn! You're alive! ”
The two hugged each other tightly, and Colin kept nodding: "It's still alive!" I'm alive, you're alive, we're all alive! I knew you were still alive! ”
The two hugged for a long time, and the others were all smiling, but they didn't know what was going on at all, after all, this paratrooper unit was elite, and people from other units had no chance to contact them on weekdays, although some of Quinn's commandos were former instructors of this unit, and some people knew Colin, but they had already died in battle, and the people standing here now had nothing to do with this paratrooper unit.
Colin let go of Tang Shu and said, "Why are you here?" Where have you been all these years? ”
Tang Shuxing looked outside and said: "This is not the place to talk, here are all my companions, and they are all resistance, we haven't had a hot meal for several days, we have a good rest, we are from Barcelona." ”
"Barcelona?" Colin's face sank, looking at Quinn and Ruben and the others who nodded at him, he knew what had happened to these people, so he nodded and said, "Come with me, I'll find a place to settle you first, I'm sorry, my men are too cautious, after all, the order we received is that once they land, no matter who they are, they must be arrested and interrogated first." ”
Afterwards, Colin left the hut with Tang Shuxing and the others and walked towards the city in the distance.
Along the way, Tang Shuxing saw a lot of soldiers, who were setting up their own defensive lines, and very few people raised their eyes to look at them, and on the coastline, landing ships and other ships of all kinds were also transporting soldiers from other troops, as well as armored vehicles, tanks and other supplies, and they were very busy everywhere.
Tang Shuxing walked a few steps and caught up with Colin in front of him: "Who is the supreme commander of this operation?" I want to see him. ”
Colin stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Shuxing looked around and said: "The previous 'Black Cross' operation was a trap, and this time it is the same, Shang has to swallow all the elite forces of the resistance army in one mouth!" (To be continued......)
