The main force of the Polish 40 Infantry Regiment drove into the village of Valão without incident, and sure enough, a dozen wounded were found on the side of the road on the west side of the road in the village, and these wounded were immediately treated.

On the orders of Colonel Kuba, the infantry carefully searched every house and basement in the village of Valan, finding no ambushes or mines.

After confirming that the village of Valang was safe, Colonel Kuba decided to lead his men to spend the night in the village of Valang. Colonel Kuba made contact with the division headquarters again, and the division headquarters gave him the task of ensuring the safety of the right flank of the whole division, and Colonel Kuba had no choice but to make this decision.

After receiving the order, the 40th Infantry Regiment selected some houses that had been lightly damaged in the battle and used them as temporary field hospitals to treat the wounded.

Colonel Kuba, having assigned the task of arming his battalions, took a few staff officers and communications personnel into the village church, and as soon as they had settled in the church, two scouts from the reconnaissance company came to the door and informed Colonel Kuba that the Germans had laid improvised defensive positions on both sides of the road, about two kilometres south of the village of Valang, with a strength of about one battalion.

Colonel Kuba gave the order to the reconnaissance company to continue surveillance, and then took a few staff officers to the east of the village, and under his order, the sappers of the 40th Infantry Regiment dug a simple cemetery on the east side of the village to house the fallen soldiers.

To the south of the village of Valan, behind the German defensive positions, Student and Chen Dao were watching Lieutenant Randolph and his men test fire, and after a series of shelling "・・・・・・booms", Lieutenant Randolph said happily: "After commissioning, we can finally participate in the battle." ”

"Great, I can finally throw away this old weapon." Chen Dao said as he threw the Mauser 98K rifle in his hand to a paratrooper next to him.

Student stood aside with seven or eight paratroopers, he saw that Chen Dao was always mixed with Randolph and these artillerymen, and there were more than 200 rescued prisoners around, mainly from the 30th Infantry Division, and more than a dozen anti-aircraft gunners of the 7th Air Defense Battalion.

Student said quietly: "Major Rosen, I want to discuss with you the next battle plan, please come here with me." ”

"I'm sorry, General, I still have to learn ** techniques with Lieutenant Randolph, the Poles have already entered the village of Valan, and we will act according to the original plan." After Chen Dao finished speaking, he fiddled with a 37mm anti-tank gun, and humbly asked Randolph for advice while fiddling with it.

Seeing this, Student could only reluctantly leave with his subordinates and arrange the next combat operation.

Because of the inheritance of the previous owner of this body rich experience in operating anti-aircraft guns, Chen Dao learned the use of 37mm anti-tank guns with half the effort, after being familiar with the 37mm anti-tank gun, Chen Dao went to learn to operate the 75mm infantry gun, after being familiar with the use of the 75mm infantry gun, after weighing the performance of the two guns, Chen Dao decided to choose the 37mm anti-tank gun as the weapon for the next battle, because the 37mm anti-tank gun is relatively accurate, and the noise when firing is relatively small, it is not easy to expose the target.

Chen Dao and three other gunners worked together to pull the 37-mm anti-tank gun to the front of the position, hiding behind an unknown bush behind the German position, waiting for the battle to begin.

At half past six in the morning of September 11, Chen Dao, who was lying on the ground sleeping with a blanket, was woken up by Lieutenant Randolph.

After some exchange, Chen Dao learned that all six 37-mm guns and the intact 75-mm infantry guns had been reinforced to the 2nd Parachute Battalion, which was to take the lead from the southeast of the village of Warang.

Dragging 37-mm guns, artillerymen such as Chen Dao and Randolph joined the 2nd Parachute Battalion.

At 7 o'clock, the Polish sky had just dawned, and under the call of the radio, a Fi-156 reconnaissance plane appeared over the village of Valan, and after circling for a while, the reconnaissance plane was strafed by the machine guns of the Polish army in the village of Valan.

Dozens of minutes later, the sky became brighter and brighter, and the deafening roar of the engine came from the sky south of the village of Warang, Chen Dao looked at his watch, 7:50.

Seeing the group of planes getting closer and closer in the sky, the 2nd Parachute Battalion spread out two flaming red flags as air defense signs, so as not to be injured by mistake.

Chen Dao squatted next to the 37-mm gun, counted the number of planes like everyone else, and quickly counted the number of planes, which was thirty.

While the German paratroopers were counting the planes, the Polish troops in the village of Valan, led by Colonel Kuba, were doing the same.

Colonel Koopa was awakened by the sound of machine-gun fire, and a sense of foreboding rose in Colonel Koopa's heart at the sight of the small plane circling in the air near the village.

God forbid, these "crows of death" are just passing through the village of Valen, they are going north to trouble friendly forces, Colonel Kuba prays with a cross drawn on his chest.

The group seemed to hear Colonel Kuba's prayers, and were enraged by Colonel Koopa's idea of betraying his teammates, and as soon as they flew over the village of Valen, they drew a terrifying arc in the sky, and then scattered, dived, and dropped bombs.

"Hidden." Colonel Coopa realized something was wrong when he saw the group turn around, shouted and stealthily rushed into the church, and plunged headlong into the basement of the church to hide.

Colonel Kuba had just rushed into the basement when he heard a terrifying scream outside, followed by the explosion of bombs and the shaking of the earth.

As Stuka dived, the screams of Jericho's horn on the fuselage fell from the sky like an invisible wall of air, and under the scream, the terrified Polish infantrymen squatted in their bunkers one by one with their ears covered and their mouths wide open, unable to move, and could only pray that the bombs would not fall in their bunkers.

Twenty Stuka dive bombers continued to dive under the fire of Polish machine guns on the ground, smashing the 50-kilogram and 250-kilogram bombs they carried into the ground.

In less than half an hour, under the bombardment of 80 50-kilogram bombs and 20 250-kilogram bombs, the small village of Valang was left without a single intact house.

Not to be outdone, the ME-109 fighters escorting Stuka took aim at the Polish positions outside the village, and any humanoid targets moving in the open space outside the village were mercilessly strafed.

After dropping the bombs, Stuka also came to join in the fun, they dived like fighter jets, and the two MG17 machine guns under the wings spat fire snakes, and the bullets hit the ground and the Polish army, kicking up countless dust and flesh・・・・・・

Colonel Kuba hid in the basement, staring blankly at his boots, and the staff officers were silent, as if the air in the basement had frozen.

Finally, the roof of the basement stopped falling dust, and Colonel Kuba slowly raised his head.

After confirming that the Germans had evacuated, Colonel Coopa walked out of the church surrounded by staff officers, and looked at the unrecognizable and devastated village of Valan, the corners of Colonel Coopa's mouth twitched for a long time and did not speak.

Glancing over the streets and the mutilated corpses in the ruins, Colonel Koopa tried to calm himself and was about to speak, when he suddenly looked up at the southern sky, where the "Raven of Death" had disappeared.

After looking around for a while, Colonel Kuba's thousand words turned into four words: "Air raid, concealment." With that, Colonel Coopa ran back to the basement first.

To the south of the village of Warang, Chen Dao was crouching next to a 37-mm gun, watching the second round of air raids by the 1st Air Regiment on the village of Warang, when a herald ran to his side.

"Major, after this round of air raids, we will launch an attack on the village of Warang, please be ready, and General Student tells you to pay attention to your own safety."

After Chen thanked him, the herald left. After waiting for about half an hour, the second round of air raids ended, and with an order, Chen Dao and others dragged 37-mm guns and followed the second parachute battalion to Warang Village.
