Twenty transport planes, escorted by more than a dozen fighters, departed from Kyiv and at this moment were already flying over the swamp.

Yang Mingzhi only gave the friendly troops an exact location, that is, after passing through the Chenobi, they continued to advance along the Pripett River, and the place where they saw the black smoke was the destination.

Catfish Village, where the pilots finally found the place, billowing black smoke was rising from the ground, and there were still many people on the ground. As you can see from the sky, these people are building airfields. They are the only ones who can build small airfields in swamps and dense forests.

At the moment, at the command of the 284 Division, the radioman was on standby. Many of the Soviet planes also had airborne radios for the rapid transmission of commands during battle.

"Swamp, swamp, I'm an albatross, but you're the 284th Guards Infantry Division? Complete. ”

……

The air transport team repeated the words, and Yevlov stayed by the radioman's side, listening to the uplifting announcement.

"Tell them we are! Ask them to drop supplies quickly. ”

Suddenly, the transport plane flew over the village with black smoke as the target, the cabin door opened, and bundles of supplies were kicked down. Their parachutes opened, and the breeze blew. They are like huge "jellyfish" floating in the air, swaying from side to side and slowly falling.

The soldiers watched the cargo falling from the sky, and one by one they danced excitedly.

Yang Mingzhi held up the binoculars and saw that there seemed to be someone jumping off the plane. Could it be that they sent advisors into here so early or something?

He beckoned to a few people around him: "Don't shout! A paratrooper in a friendly army jumps down, go find him! ”

On the other side, the air transport team gave a brief radio explanation of the composition of the cargo. Here are some blankets, some household items. There are no weapons and ammunition in this shipment, and they will arrive in part of the next wave of airdrops. In particular, the convoy stressed that a special correspondent from the Kiev side would arrive first.

Nikita Fomin, a Jew, was a political commissar who was the liaison for the Southwestern Front. It is better to come from the sky faster than to go by land.

Beneath the cabin door was a swamp, and if you jumped into the mud or hung on the treetops, it would be dangerous for your life. In the end, Fuming still jumped into the leap, but he had an important mission.

The drop-offs of the transport planes were concentrated in the woods, after all, it really fell into the mud, which was terrible. There are a lot of clothes and blankets in these packages.

Yang Mingzhi mobilized everyone who could be mobilized outdoors, including the children who helped in the blacksmith shop and the chemist Ivanov, and the girls who were still sorting the bullet casings. Everyone has to go out and pull back what they find as soon as possible.

The fighters danced in the direction of the parachute fall, and most people ignored that there was also an uninvited guest who was also slowly landing.

The woods in the marshland area are still dense, and many parachute covers are blocked by branches, and many supplies are forced to hang from the trees. Some broke branches and smashed the goods to the ground.

Yang Mingzhi was wearing only a white shirt, and he beckoned a dozen soldiers, holding shovels, daggers and some hemp rope in their hands, which was precisely to facilitate the transportation of goods.

Carambola naturally followed her husband closely, and she was forced to run fast. It's not because these men are crazy with excitement, could it be that this wave of airdrop supplies has brought vodka and cigarettes?

When everyone arrived under a cedar tree, Yang Mingzhi raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's terrible, at least five meters. How do we get that package so high? ”

When everyone was in trouble, a soldier volunteered. He rolled up his sleeves and said to himself: "When I was in the Far East, I picked pine nuts, and the pine pickers had to climb trees and drag down pine balls. ”

Yang Mingzhi looked at this young guy, he should be the original Far East Infantry Regiment, not many such people survived.

"Alright, you go up. Stay safe. ”

Yang Mingzhi also wanted to ask one more, but this Mao Ziyi master was bold. He was like a monkey, and he was very high after two rubs. The man also had a dagger in his mouth, and he was very dexterous in his hand, and he cut through the canvas rope bag on the package little by little, and the goods fell in response.

It seemed to be quite heavy, and it kicked up a cloud of dust when it landed on the soft humus.

"Come on, let's see what our guys have given us." Yang Mingzhi said as if cutting through a package with a dagger, and a soldier stepped forward to stop it.

"Sir, the opening of this sack is tied with twine. We don't have to waste such a good sack. ”

Yang Mingzhi scratched his head and knocked in the direction the soldier was pointing, it was really like that.

All the sacks of Lao Maozi, even the military bags of the soldiers, everyone seems to be particularly fond of this structure, and all types of backpacks are tightened with hemp rope.

Of course, for the needs of the airborne, the sack was tied strong enough, and Yang Mingzhi also took a lot of effort to loosen the hemp rope, and now the materials inside can be seen clearly.

He tugged hard, and it was clearly a soldier's upper body uniform.

"It's wonderful! My clothes are full of tears. I didn't expect our comrades to think so thoughtfully. They must have guessed that everyone had been walking in the forest for too long and had no new clothes. One soldier said cheerfully.

Yang Mingzhi turned his head and smiled at the man, and out of the corner of his eye, he also saw the small figure of star fruit. Alas, I don't know if there are clothes for the little female soldiers in this batch of supplies, and the young girls of the group of young soldiers must also have military uniforms.

Several soldiers struggled to disassemble the package, which was an entire pack of uniforms, enough to fit a company's men. These clothes are compressed tightly, and if the package is carried in its entirety, it will have to be carried by at least two shifts of people.

A transport plane can't transport a lot of supplies, and the military uniforms airdropped this time are enough for 1,000 people to change their clothes, and the rest is basically all kinds of bedding and some daily hygiene products. There was only one package of medicines, which consisted mostly of gauze and glass bottles wrapped around a large pile of gauze.

The package was also discovered by Yang Mingzhi, who first asked the soldiers to carry the supplies back, and he and his wife continued to search. They soon ran into a group of soldiers, and together they found the bag.

The soldier opened the package, only to see a white mass inside.

"Great! It's all skimmed cotton and gauze! Field hospitals are most needed! Star fruit was so excited that she persevered and found out that there were also valuable medicines in it. She remembered some Russian proper nouns, mainly in medicine. Under the training of the doctors and nurses in the field hospital, at least she knew the names of the most commonly used medicines.

Penicillin, erythromycin, and even morphine were found in the package. This was very important for the wounded soldier, and she even found a professional medical paraphernalia, a lot of lancets.

"Little Peach, are you satisfied now?" Yang Mingzhi asked.

"Satisfied! Of course I'm satisfied! You men need guns and ammunition, and we hygienists especially need medicines. “

The words were spoken in Russian, and the fighters understood them. For soldiers, as long as they are adequately protected after being wounded, they will have no more worries, and the delivery of new medicines will significantly boost morale.

The soldiers, under the concern of star fruit, asked to pay special attention to the bottles and cans containing medicines.

Yang Mingzhi said, this time the whole army went to look for the airdropped materials, and now the landing sites should be determined, and the rest is to transport the materials back. Therefore, he no longer chose to search, and ordered everyone to retreat to the airfield under construction.

That is, on the way to retreat, Yang Mingzhi vaguely heard that someone seemed to be calling for help.

"Stop! If there is a voice, don't talk to each other again. Yang Mingzhi raised his right fist and ordered everyone to stop.

"Maybe it's a magpie." A soldier teased.

"Don't speak."

Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes slightly, and after the other soldiers quieted down, they also heard the voice, and it seemed to be a Russian word - help.

Yang Mingzhi shouted to a person to think about the direction of the sound, and walked forty meters in the forest, only to see a hapless guy hanging there on a high branch.

"Thank goodness! Finally someone! Come and save me! I don't want to be around birds. ”

"Then you still want to be with people, right?" Yang Mingzhi joked that this person obviously came with the convoy. He was unlucky enough that the breeze blew him over the forest, and he was sadly stopped by the branches, and worse, the place was many meters above the ground.

How do you get him down? The soldier who could climb the tree made a good move, and Yang Mingzhi couldn't control it so much, so he ordered it to be done. The soldier climbed up the tree and carried the hemp rope with him, but he tied the rope behind the trunk, and the unlucky man grabbed the rope and cut off the parachute belt behind it.

The unlucky guy ended up jumping down the rope, and his palm was bruised for it.
