The group of transport planes finally survived the enemy's interception at a certain cost, and Ivanov breathed a sigh of relief, and they flew towards the swamp under the guidance of friendly aircraft.

Soon, they saw billowing black smoke in the distance, like a lighthouse. The whole group was excited, and the fighters made a circular motion around the transport plane to continue to defend it, while the transport planes waited for the order of the captain - they were the first to be airdropped.

"Okay, we've arrived at our destination, let's do the airdrop first." Ivanov ordered the crew.

The on-board radio is only available on his flagship aircraft, and is mainly used to communicate with targets. At the division headquarters, Yevlov received exact information about the group of transport aircraft, and the airdrop began immediately.

At this moment, Yang Mingzhi was still looking forward to it outdoors, only to see Yevlov running in a hurry, with a smile on his face. "Good news, they've finally arrived."

"It's really good!" Yang Mingzhi was in good spirits, and every sweat pore was stretched, "If there is no accident in the next few months, our little life will be much better." ”

"Of course, but they also have some to lose." Yevlov said casually.

This remark aroused Yang Mingzhi's vigilance, and it was an established fact that the aircraft group was intercepted by the enemy, so what is the current situation? Yevlov noted that only one transport aircraft was lost, and it was still a transport tank. "I really don't understand whether the front command thinks that the tank is too light to fall from the sky with a parachute. Since it was a tank that was lost, it didn't matter. The rest of the supplies we needed were intact. ”

Yang Mingzhi was more curious, how could he airdrop tanks? "We'd better wait, and when they get over us, we'll just collect supplies."

Everyone was looking forward to it, and after a while, a Seagull fighter appeared in the air first. This was Podović's car, and he landed smoothly at the airport. The pilots hurriedly surrounded and pulled the happy-looking guy down.

"Let's go, let's go see our Air Force comrades." Yang Mingzhi said and walked in the direction of the plane. Behind him were Yevlov and others.

When he saw the pilot, Podovich, who had taken a happy pill, said excitedly: "I have made meritorious service, killed one and wounded another." That group of Germans may be novices, and they can't beat me at all. ”

Yang Mingzhi actually saw a few more bullet holes in the rudder of the tail of his plane, but there was no problem. This person should have achieved good results, so let him continue to be happy.

He then asked, "How long will it take for our transport plane to arrive?" ”

"Right now, five minutes at most." Podovich pointed to the blue sky, "They are airdrops, so they fly high." Also because of flight inertia, their airdrop may have already begun. ”

As he said, Yang Mingzhi looked at the sky, and soon, he and the others saw several black things, they had huge parachute covers. Troops! It's several!

"Hell! These are tanks, right! Did they really throw it down like that?! ”

Suddenly, Yang Mingzhi felt that this group of old Maozi was really a fighting nation, and they had never done things simply and rudely.

A couple of black things with a mass of parachutes overhead. gave Yang Mingzhi the feeling that these were the space capsules returning to land after the mission. It's just that in the future manned spaceflight, how much will those return capsules weigh? Now these are tanks falling from the sky.

Four tanks fell from the sky, and Ivanov himself didn't have a score, and he still watched his men airdrop with his eyes. They dropped at an altitude of two thousand meters, and the final tanks fell extremely fast, and they were the first to touch the ground.

"Haha! With these big guys, our armament is even stronger! Yerentina held up her binoculars and looked at the tanks falling from the sky. She wasn't good at physics, but she knew that her troops were too short of heavy weapons.

Yang Mingzhi couldn't help frowning, he and everyone saw that the tank had fallen into the forest, so they asked Yevlov: "In the northwest direction of our camp, which unit is in charge of searching?" ”

"It's the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment."

"Okay, let's go take a look." After that, Yang Mingzhi led everyone to find out, and at the same time, a large number of "jellyfish" appeared in the air, and a large-scale airdrop began.

When Yang Mingzhi and other division leaders arrived at a target, the soldiers who were waiting were already standing on top of the tanks that had been airdropped.

They had just been startled when a behemoth fell, smashed several trees, and staggered on the breach.

The first regiment and two battalions, this unit was personally led by Yang Mingzhi not long ago to participate in the main attack on Kuta Town, and now, the battalion commander is in front of this tank, and when he saw the division commander and others suddenly arrived, he immediately reported the situation.

He still had a frightened look on his face, and he couldn't help but tremble when he reported it.

"Okay, I've got it. Roshakov, you don't have to be too nervous. These are heavy weapons given to us by our superiors, and we need to check them now. ”

Roshakov was ordered, but he didn't know how to drive a tank here. He could only lead people, using the principle of leverage and the principle of strength in numbers, to straighten the inclined tank.

The BT light tank was finally safely in the forest, and there were no scars on its surface, but it still had a lot of parachutes strapped to it, many of which had not been stripped off. The canopy was torn by a branch, and when the horses were untied, a package was found tied to the cannon shield.

Yang Mingzhi and the others watched the soldiers from the side, tearing the sackcloth pockets with knives, and several iron buckets with handles were taken out.

What this is is self-evident. Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist: "I'll just say that they can't just throw down a tiegada, and they still have to have fuel." ”

The soldier brought out five small kegs and also found a small box of high-quality packages, which opened and looked like a book. The book was handed over to Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov, and both of them were happy, it turned out that this was actually the manual of the tank.

"They are very savage, but they still have a fine side." Yang Mingzhi was very satisfied, and immediately opened the book. The book is illustrated and looks like a booklet for beginners in tanks.

Because of the needs of the war, tankmen had to go to the battlefield with simple training. Therefore, their education is very simple, the driver has to drive the tank back, and the gunner can shoot.

Here, the two girls who followed Yang Mingzhi, star fruit and Natasha, touched the Soviet tank at zero distance. The BT tank is small, and the tanker is also required to be small.

Yang Mingzhi looked around, and there were already many soldiers watching here.

"Comrades, have any of you ever driven a truck? I read that in this "Tank Guide", driving a tank is very similar to driving a truck. ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier raised his hand to signal. Several people came forward and claimed to be truckers for the army.

The Soviet troops fought on the march, each division had quite a few trucks, they were part of the logistics troops. The war has reached the present, and the logistics troops have also become front-line combat units. It is normal for these people to appear as self-recommended.

Five people stepped forward, and in the end Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov chose a small one. Yevlov estimated that this person was only in his early sixties, and he seemed to be very weak as a soldier, but he was very comfortable with driving a tank.

"Comrade, what's your name?"

"Chekov, sir."

Yevlov patted him on the shoulder and gave him a new appointment. "We have tanks now, and if the tanks are running properly, you are a tankman!"

As a tank soldier, this is more advanced than the average soldier, and the young soldier named Chekov gladly accepted the order.

Yang Mingzhi smiled and said nothing, the army has a "laboratory" level air force, and now there is a tank unit. Theoretically speaking, the 284th Division is really comprehensive, is the next step to engage some gunboats for inland river patrols? 、

Chekov burrowed through the turret in an unsightly manner, like a toad in a hole.

The inside of the tank was very dark, in fact, there was an electric light inside, and he couldn't find the switch when he drove the tank for the first time. The lid was always open, and he knew there were other openings to let in the light.

The BT tank is very compact inside Russia, and it is necessary to fight at least four fighters here. A driver, a gunner, a machine gunner, and a commander who does everything. Chekov checked it, there was nothing in the ammunition depot, which was supposed to reduce weight, so even the machine guns were withdrawn. He actually knew that the tank machine gun was actually a DP machine gun, and there was a lot of equipment in the troops.

After a while, someone shouted to him from above the turret: "Comrade, we are going to fill you with gasoline!" ”

"Okay, I've found the cab, the lever and the accelerator brakes. Hurry up and cheer me on! ”

The fighters filled the tank with gasoline, after which the fighters left. Everyone didn't know what Chekov was doing in the hatch, and after a while everyone heard the roar of the engine.

Chekov opened the observation port in the cab and shouted outside: "I think our tank is safe, it is not broken." ”

Yang Mingzhi suddenly came to his senses and said, "In that case, my dear, you can drive this tank out of the forest." “

"Okay, I'll do it now."

Chekov slowly stepped on the accelerator, and in his opinion, the principle of operation of driving a tank and driving a truck was very similar. However, this thing is also the first time he has opened it, and it needs to be run-in. No, with one foot on the accelerator, the tank suddenly rushed, breaking a small tree, and the tree fell in response.

"Roar! Our driver was really savage. Yang Mingzhi shook his head regretfully.

"You don't have to say he's savage, this guy is driving a tank for the first time." Yevlov said. "Now you and I should be happy, this guy fell from a high altitude, and he can still start and walk, it's a military miracle."

Yang Mingzhi looked at him with a wry smile and shook his head: "Okay, I hope that all the airdropped tanks are safe." I heard that the ammunition is still distributed separately, so we have everything in order, and in the future, we will have armored troops! (To be continued.) )
