Chapter 603: Hard Landing
Each transport aircraft maintained a great distance, and when all the gliders of the first echelon were dropped, it was the turn of the paratroopers to jump out of the cabin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The airborne order has been conveyed, and Ivanov's long plane, more than thirty paratroopers are fully ready.
"Now! The cabin is open! Comrades, check your own umbrella bag at the end! Wait for the green light to come on before acting! The platoon commander roared mechanically to drown out the whistling wind as the cabin opened.
The Second Paratrooper Army was one of the original paratrooper units, and its training intensity has always been very high, so the vast number of officers and men also have extremely high psychological quality. I have to say that this airborne landing is really risky, because the plane is not waiting for everyone on a smooth road, but a damn swamp! It's not scary to be hung on a tree, as long as you can hold on to the trunk, you can go down. There is nothing more troublesome than falling into a muddy pond, which can be life-threatening.
The hesitant paratroopers took a passive parachute to open the parachute, and everyone pulled up the parachute opening hook of their parachute bags, hung it on a guide rail in the engine room, and lined up.
There were a total of four lights at the door, and now the red light kept flashing until the plane rebalanced the air pressure and remained absolutely stable, and the green light came on.
"Comrades! Get started now! The platoon leader yelled, "Miatov, you are the first!" Jump! ”
The warrior, called Myatov, was dressed like everyone else, and his chest and back were mostly heavily equipped. He had done many airborne training sessions and had never made a mistake, but this time he had to gasp and even hesitate slightly.
"Myatov! What are you stunned about! Jump off or I'll kick you off myself!" The platoon commander ordered.
"Good! I'm going to jump! ”
The young warrior jumped with his eyes closed, his umbrella bag was pulled out by the drawstring, and after only three seconds, the umbrella was completely opened, and soon a huge white umbrella cover bloomed in the air.
Miyatov opened his eyes, he was already drifting in the wind, all that was left to do was to pray that he would land safely on the ground, preferably in the glade, and not fall into the water. Just in case, he touched the dagger he carried with him all the time, and in case he was extremely unlucky enough to fall into the mud, he quickly cut the messy ropes on his body and saved his life.
This soldier is only one of the two thousandths of the entire brigade, and at this moment the sky has bloomed densely with huge umbrella covers. Some transport planes were stuffed with cargo, and bomber wings such as the TB3 were replaced with packed supplies. These cargoes were also detached from the planes, and they, along with the vast number of paratroopers, became dandelions floating in the sky.
At this time, the sun is only one step away from the first rise, and the airdrop operation is finally in full swing.
The first to see this exciting scene were the people of Catfish Village, the military and civilians all opened their eyes to the blue sky, and each team locked on their own targets, and estimated their approximate location, and began to search for them in a tense and meticulous manner.
After Yang Mingzhi and others received the emergency report from Catfish Village, everyone stopped staying in the division headquarters, and everyone went out to stand outdoors and wait for the arrival of the group.
The first echelon has been airdropped, but the fleet will continue to fly. The hatch of the long plane was closed again, and Ivanov continued to repeat the order, urging the echelons to airdrop in order.
The plan was to make a large turn in the air from the southeast, where the group would return in a stable formation.
As everyone knows, there is a certain danger in this, and with the speed of the group, they can easily fly directly over the top of the forward position of the German 707th Division. Now that the day is dawn, the famous 88-mm anti-aircraft guns of the German army will be powerful as soon as they seize the opportunity!
Ivanov was unaware of these circumstances, and he had to ensure that the airdrop was carried out safely and securely.
The deafening sound in the sky came from the southeast wind, and Yang Mingzhi decisively raised the telescope. Two meters is not high, and now he can even see the clues of the plane.
At this moment, a woman suddenly screamed. Yerenkina couldn't contain her excitement, holding the telescope in her left hand and pointing to the blue sky with her right hand: "Look! The glider is out of the bomber! Look, someone jumped off! ”
Yang Mingzhi originally wanted to say that she was very noisy, but fortunately she held back. In fact, everyone is ecstatic in their hearts!
In that plane, some American blockbusters vividly expressed the spectacular scene of the large-scale parachute landing of the 101st Airborne Division before the Normandy landings! Now Yang Mingzhi can indeed say that the movie is indeed not deceiving.
Telescopes are no longer needed, because the whole blue sky is full of "red dandelions"! Because the north wind was blowing, Yang Mingzhi really didn't have to worry about the paratrooper brothers drifting farther and farther.
The paratroopers don't need to worry anymore, now all eyes are on the gliders.
Perhaps because of the heavy weight of the loaded materials, when they lost traction and relied on gliding, one by one they really fell sharply, and even three of them were obviously blown by the wind to change direction, and they actually smashed towards the blacksmith village like guidance.
The original excitement is gone!
“WTF! This glider is like an albatross, aim at us and rush down! I'm afraid of a tragic hard landing! Yang Mingzhi realized that it was not good, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything now.
Right under everyone's noses, a glider crashed directly into the woods a hundred meters outside the division headquarters building at an acute angle of 30 degrees, and no fire or smoke came out after a series of loud noises.
"Thank goodness this cabin isn't a hazard!" Yang Mingzhi really breathed a sigh of relief, he kicked the few who were already lying on the ground to avoid the explosion, and shouted: "Cowards! Let's all stand up, let's hurry up and see what treasure my superiors have given me! ”
"Aren't you afraid? What if the air-dropped ammunition exploded on impact? Yevlov was still lying on the ground, and after he finished speaking, he even directly dragged Yang Mingzhi's legs, pulled him down alive, and even held his quilt extremely dexterously. Dear Davarich, listen to me now! I'll send soldiers to scout first, and senior officers such as you and me had better guard the division headquarters. ”
"Are you a coward?" Yang Mingzhi was very angry by the reckless behavior of this goods, obviously it didn't look dangerous, and he suddenly ate a big horse party, his coat was dirty and muddy, and in the end he still bothered his wife to wash it.
Lyudbalev was lying on the ground at this time, and he said as a passer-by: "Berekov, still listen to the division commander!" Don't forget, there are still some antiseptics in the airdrop list of the superiors, which are bottles of ethylene oxide, didn't you say that the weaponization of that thing would be catastrophic power? ”
was said by this old guy, Yang Mingzhi was speechless. He was right, Timoshenge, the commander who could reach the sky, did send a big killing weapon, Yang Mingzhi knew that in fact, the Soviet Union could have developed an air-burning weapon right now, but because no one associated ethylene oxide with weapons. These compounds are so dangerous that if the glider leaks during a hard landing, anyone who approaches them will be dead! Either it was burned into a wisp of smoke or poisoned like a bacterium.
Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to lie on his stomach honestly, and everyone watched a large number of gliders making a hard landing. These creatures with exaggerated wingspans came into close contact with the forest, but there was not a single burning explosion, and everyone only heard a loud bang in their ears.
In this way, the three echelons are methodically carrying out airdrop operations in accordance with Ivanov's orders, the gliders of the first echelon have landed, and the paratroopers of the third echelon have just jumped out of the cabin. The sky is crowded with parachute covers, like a swarm of jellyfish, or a clump of dandelions!
The group of planes dropped supplies in order, and under the cover of the fighters, they began their tactical turn with a huge turning radius and were ready to return home.
