Chapter 606: The Brigade Commander Lands

The three echelons of the airborne operation landed in different places, and most of the first echelon landed near Catfish Village, so they should be most worried about being transferred to the water. The second echelon of the pen & fun > pavilion www.biquge.info generally landed near the blacksmith village, and the third echelon deviated from the blacksmith village a little. Being a little away from rivers and wetlands, the latter two teams should think about how they can avoid hanging on to the southeast branch.

After all, the vegetation here is dense, most of the paratroopers are inevitably hung from trees, and even worse, some of the red pines are too high, and some of the soldiers' feet are as high as 20 meters above the ground!

Faced with such a height, ordinary people are often scared and sweating. The paratroopers at least overcame their fear of heights, and now the people hanging the trees can only think about how to get out.

Those who are not too high can cut the rope by themselves, first throw their heavy equipment down, then cut the parachute rope, and then make a hard landing on the ground.

Those who hang too high, in addition to reflecting on why they are unlucky, can only wait for the support of friendly forces.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not saved, and a large number of search teams were constantly patrolling the forest, and when the paratroopers landed in the forest, the assistance began.

The paratrooper fighters who had just landed adhered to their usual style and immediately maintained a high level of alert, and many of them almost opened fire on the friendly troops who came to the rescue. Fortunately, they quickly realized that this was not a war zone, and the flashing figures were either other paratroopers or friendly troops.

The rescue of the paratroopers and supplies was carried out in an orderly manner, as planned before the operation, and there was no chaos.

The problems of those who hung high were not a problem, and they were treated by monkey-like men who climbed trees and tied the trapped paratroopers with ropes to help them slowly descend.

Dealing with many scattered materials hanging on the treetops is also used in this way to get out of trouble.

In the face of the paratrooper soldiers falling from the sky, the soldiers and civilians who received them were very excited, after all, this was a large-scale military aid from the higher authorities in the past few months, and there was nothing more than holding the hands of these reinforcements and sending them to the planned shelter.

The group returned directly after the mission, and the "dandelions" in the sky quickly landed.

In strict accordance with the order, the search teams simply carried the materials as much as they could, transported them to Linjian Road through horses and wagons, and then pulled them back by trucks. Even some of the paratroopers had the privilege of standing on top of the trucks, which was completely unexpected - these were German military vehicles, and the Iron Cross standard was eye-catching! There are even suspicions that I may have encountered fake guerrillas.

But all of them speak Russian, and there are even those who are fluent in Belarusian. Through a brief inquiry, the paratroopers learned that the vehicles had been captured from the Germans. There is a lack of paint here, and if there was an abundance of red paint, the Iron Cross would have been painted as a big red star.

Brigade Commander Teplov, Deputy Brigade Commander Besonov and Brigade Political Commissar Zalasky jumped from the same transport plane, so the three of them landed at similar distances, and all three of them were naturally hung up on trees, and the three unlucky people were quickly found and rescued by the waiting search team.

It was the regular soldiers of the 284th Division who saved them, and even if the uniforms were badly damaged, the important epaulettes and collar badges were still clean and tidy.

Upon learning that the commander of the paratrooper unit had been discovered, Vasilyev, who was in charge of the search in this area, immediately rushed over. He no longer bothered to collect the cargo on the transport plane under his command, because the most important "cargo" was the three senior officers.

In terms of rank, Vasilyev's rank was very low, because he was able to successfully defect to the Soviet army in the swamps with at least a handful of remnants, and even led thousands of Jews who escaped from concentration camps. Due to the size of the army, he could only be a battalion commander. At that moment, he made another contribution, and he actually found the brigade commander and others of the paratrooper brigade!

Therefore, when the four of them met, Vasilyev naturally remained humble. He did not return his original rank and position, and at the moment he was only a battalion commander under the command of the Second Regiment.

It's a pity that Teplov clearly understands Vasilyev's epaulettes.

"Comrade! It seems that your troops have been out of the direct command of their superiors for too long! You're obviously a captain, so you should be a company commander. Teplov asked.

"That's right! Comrade Brigade Commander! The casualties in the troops were so severe that junior officers had to be promoted to cope with the situation. What's more, my original unit was not this Guards Division transferred from the Northwest Front, I was originally from the 32nd Infantry Division. ”

This statement Teplov could understand, before leaving, the brigade commander naturally looked at the information of the 284th Guards Division for a long time, and also had a certain understanding of its current situation - this is a mixed force composed mainly of the remnants of the 284th Guards Division, with a large number of lost soldiers from other units and a large number of local residents joining.

Tepnov straightened his hat, and compared to these answerers, he was really neat and anxious!

He was very proud as a paratrooper, and now he stretched out his right hand and said excitedly: "Dear Davarich, you have worked so hard to fight in this poor and impoverished place. ”

Vasilyev was a little upset by this statement, and it was true that life was hard, but for several months the three collective farms in Novgomel had developed by leaps and bounds, and even before the war no collective farms had been able to develop their economy at such a high speed.

He retorted slightly: "I don't think it's very difficult, if you had gone to our division headquarters and seen the exact appearance of the collective farms, and saw the potatoes growing vigorously in our fields, you would have corrected your present feelings. ”

"So, our arrival is like a tiger with wings, right?"

"Of course!"

Tepunov could feel the strength of the battalion commander, and said that the current war was the most difficult for the partisans in the occupied areas, and this camp and his fighters were very strong, and it was obvious that the situation here was completely different.

Take a closer look at these guerrillas...... No! It's a regular army soldier! Of course, there are also a lot of soldiers in civilian clothes here, and the rifles they carry are actually German weapons, which is quite uniform.

The clenched hand loosened, and Tepunov stretched his nearly pinched joint.

The two had already exchanged names, and he asked directly: "Comrade Vasilyev, it seems that your fighters can solve the problem well in terms of food and shelter, but your weapons and ammunition are in a bad condition." Without supplies from the military, the guerrillas had to fight on captured weapons. ”

"It's perfectly normal." Vasilyev turned around and introduced his soldiers. "As you can see, our regiment is fully armed with German weapons. The superiors may not have much trust in the German army that we annihilated in the February campaign, but the number of equipment is here, and the German armament can equip two regiments, join us in using German ammunition, and there is not even a shortage of ammunition. ”
