Chen Dao held the binoculars and clearly saw that the Stuka dive bomber was screaming as always, smashing bombs one after another on the roof of the municipal building where the Polish army was entrenched.

The 500-kilogram aerial bomb penetrated the roof of the building by inertia, burrowed into the building, and was subsequently detonated by a time-delay fuse.

The first round of air raids demolished the municipal building as many as three floors, and the bottom two floors were also crumbling, and Stuka of the 1st Air Regiment did not give the Poles a chance to flee for their lives, and a second round of bombing followed.

Chen Dao stood on one leg against the wall, and finally managed to stand firm in the "earthquake" caused by the explosion, and then saw that the municipal building was already shrouded in gray smoke.

The smoke cleared, and all that remained of the five-story building was a pile of rubble about two stories high, and only the stubborn flagpole in the square in front of the building announced that it was once the municipal building of Kutno.

It's terrifying, Chen Dao stared at the rubble like a hill and said in his heart, this is only the power of a 500-kilogram bomb, compared with this kind of powerful bomb, the 37-mm anti-tank gun and 75-mm infantry gun he used are not worth mentioning at all.

What would be the power of a 1,000 kg bomb or a 1,500 kg bomb when it exploded? It wasn't something that the infantry could have avoided by lying on the ground or hiding in foxholes.

What would the legendary weapon of mass destruction look like when the atomic bomb exploded? What methods do you have to use to survive the explosion? The more Chen Dao thought about it, the heavier his heart became, and he didn't have the joy of destroying the enemy at all.

The mission was accomplished, and the group of planes of the 1st Air Regiment circled in the air and flew away from the battlefield triumphantly.

"Long live the Luftwaffe, major, you ・・・・・・" The army captain excitedly opened his arms to hug Chen Dao, but found that Chen Dao's face was gloomy, and he was standing there with his arms on one leg against the wall.

"You're hurt?" The captain asked, staring at Chen Dao's shrunken right leg, thinking that Chen Dao's ugly face was enduring the pain of the wound.

"Hit by a ricocheting bullet from a Polish sniper, it has already been dealt with." Chen Dao turned around and said listlessly.

"Major, you better go and rest, so as not to leave sequelae. This was probably one of the most important points of resistance for the Poles, and after destroying it, they would not be able to resist for long. ”

"Okay." Chen Dao moved his right leg slightly, and found that the pain was not so severe, so he limped to the temporary wounded shelter with the help of the army captain.

In the shelter, Chen Dao gently rested his bandaged right calf on a backrest chair, and lay on another backrest chair with his head in his hands, lost in thought.

If war with the United States cannot be avoided in the future, how can we crack the overwhelming tactics of the United States? The power of aerial bombs cannot be matched even by the Tiger and King Tiger tanks, not to mention the flesh and blood of the infantry.

Chen Dao took out a notebook and pencil from his satchel and wrote down two words: air supremacy and anti-aircraft firepower.

Lighting a cigarette, Chen Dao took a few puffs, and then wrote a big line in his notebook: Make a big killer as soon as possible.

Putting away the notebook and pencil, Chen Dao's face softened slightly, and he looked around at the wounded soldiers in the shelter for wounded soldiers. The seven or eight wounded in his room were lightly wounded, mostly in their arms and legs from bullets or shrapnel from artillery shells.

Looking around the house, Chen Dao saw that all the wounded except himself were from the army, and there was no one he knew. Gently moving his right leg, Chen Dao found that the pain in his right leg had almost disappeared, put the injured right leg into his boots, Chen Dao stood up with a chair, walked a few steps around the house, and found that the pain in his right leg no longer affected his walking.

Putting on the steel helmet, Chen Dao said hello to a medical soldier and prepared to leave, walked to the gate of the shelter, and rushed in three paratroopers, one of the paratroopers led by him stared at the red eyes in front of the road, and the two paratroopers behind carried a stretcher.

There was a paratrooper captain lying on the stretcher, the captain's uniform was full of holes and blood, and what was even more shocking was that the part below the knee of the captain's right leg had disappeared, Bai Sensen's bones and cyan blood vessels were exposed in front of Chen Dao's eyes, and blood stained the stretcher red.

Chen Dao hurriedly dodged out of the way, and then followed the paratroopers into the shelter. After the medics took over the wounded paratrooper captain, Chen Dao stood behind the three paratroopers, grabbed one of the paratroopers by the shoulders and asked, "Corporal Steiner, how did Captain Chopin get hurt?" ”

The three paratroopers were startled, turned around and saw that it was Chen Dao, and first gave Chen Dao a military salute together. Corporal Steiner wiped tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "We met the Polish tank, and the captain's right leg was broken by a machine gun on the tank. ”

"Damn tanks." Chen Dao cursed with a stiff expression, Captain Chopin was the commander of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 7th Air Division, and he was one of the few officers Chen Dao knew in the 7th Air Division.

"We killed the tank with anti-tank guns, and the Poles climbed out of the tank and tried to escape, and we killed them all." Corporal Steiner said.

"Well done," Chen said.

"Where are you going next? Waiting here for Captain Chopin? Chen Dao took out a cigarette and handed one to each of the three Steiners, who were in high spirits.

"We're going back, Major, why are you here?" Corporal Steiner asked after taking a puff from the lighter handed by Chen Dao and lighting a cigarette.

"I have a slight injury on my leg, come and bandage it, I told General Student that I will go back to report today, let's go together." Chen Dao left the shelter with a cigarette in his mouth and three paratroopers.

Sure enough, as the captain said, the municipal building was one of the most important strongholds of the Polish army in the city of Kutno, where the Germans took control of the city in less than two hours after the Polish army was eliminated.

On the first floor of a relatively well-preserved three-story building, where the temporary headquarters of the 2nd Paratrooper Battalion was located, Chen Dao sat on a chair by the window and asked, "Major Schubert, how many people do you think the city of Kutno is?" ”

Major Schubert replied: "The city is not large, I estimate it to be thirty to forty thousand. ”

Chen Dao nodded and said, "It's about the same as I estimated." As he spoke, Chen Dao wrote down the number of 30,000 to 40,000 people in his notebook.

"What are you thinking?" Major Schubert couldn't help but ask when he saw Chen Dao writing quickly in his notebook, and from time to time he showed a thoughtful look.

"I wonder what if we come across a city with a population of more than a million and a large number of defenders armed with tanks and snipers. For example, Warsaw. Chen Dao asked, looking up at Major Schubert.

Hearing Chen Dao's words, Major Schubert also pondered.

In the evening, after handing over the positions to the Army, Chen Dao and Major Schubert led the rest of the 2nd Paratrooper Battalion to withdraw from the city of Kutno.

In the southwestern suburbs of Kutno City, after the 2nd Battalion and the 1st Battalion and 3rd Battalion reunited to form a team, Chen Dao saw Student again.

Student stood in front of Chen Dao, looked at Chen Dao expressionlessly for a long time and said, "Major Rosen, your position is really uncertain, I didn't expect you to appear here." ”

"General, I said that I would return today, and I have always kept my promise." Chen Dao said.

"I promised Marshal Goering to send you back to Berlin today, but now it is dark, and the planes cannot be safely taken off and landed at night, so I can only postpone sending you back to Berlin until tomorrow.

"General, my suggestion is this, since you have broken your promise, simply break it to the end, and wait until we occupy Warsaw, and I will go back." Chen Dao said disapprerovingly.

"That's impossible, the plane has been waiting for you there for a whole day, and you'll be gone early tomorrow morning." As soon as Student waved his hand, two paratroopers stood beside Chen Dao, one on the left and one on the right.

Chen Dao turned his head to look at the two paratroopers with big shoulders and round waists beside him, frowned and asked, "General Studenter, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Although the city has been occupied, there are still sporadic Poles resisting, and they will be responsible for keeping you safe until you leave safely at dawn tomorrow." Student said.

"Are you spying on me?" Chen Dao glared at Student and said.

"No, I'm protecting you." Student glared at Chen Dao and said.

"I've already arranged a place for you to live, you go back to rest, remember not to run around again."

Under the low eaves, he had to bow his head, and Chen Dao, who was alone, had to obey.

After dinner, Chen Dao lay in the tent and couldn't sleep, looked at his watch, and found that it was only more than 8 o'clock in the evening, lit a cigarette, Chen Dao walked out of the tent with a cigarette in his mouth.

The two paratroopers standing on the left and right of the tent looked at Chen Dao with their eyes brushed together.

"Major, where are you going?" One of the paratroopers asked.

"Which of you will use a grenade?" Chen Dao asked rhetorically.

The two paratroopers were stunned, not expecting Chen Dao to ask such a question, and after a while, the two came back to their senses and replied that they would both use grenades.

"It's still early, let's find a secluded place, and you can teach me how to use grenades." Chen Dao said.

"Major, if you want to learn how to use grenades, it's best to wait until after dawn tomorrow, it's more dangerous at night." A paratrooper dissuaded.

"I'm leaving tomorrow at dawn, I can't sleep right now, so I'll learn how to use grenades with you to kill time." Chen Dao insisted.

Seeing that Chen Dao did not back down, the two paratroopers had no choice but to ask for instructions to Studente, and not long after, the paratrooper who went to ask for instructions for Student returned with two other paratroopers, one of whom was a sergeant.

"The general agreed, and let's go find a secluded place together." The paratrooper sergeant said.

Stedenter's plan was that as long as His Excellency the "brother-in-law" could get on the plane on time tomorrow morning and leave, he would do whatever he wanted tonight.

Four paratroopers carried four lights, carried three shovels and Chen Dao to find a flat field.

Under the command of the sergeant, three paratroopers dug a zigzag skirmish in the soft earth, and the paratrooper sergeant then began to teach.

As a modest and studious bandit, Chen Dao learned to use a Mauser 98K rifle, an MP38 submachine gun, a 37mm anti-tank gun and a 75mm infantry gun in recent days of fighting, but not a grenade.

In Chen Dao's eyes, the use of grenades seems simple but is actually difficult, and if you don't get it right, you will blow up your own people, so I haven't studied it, thinking that I will have to leave by plane early tomorrow morning, and the last night in Poland can't be wasted in any case, so I remembered to learn how to use grenades.

Under the teaching of the paratrooper sergeant, Chen Dao soon learned that there are two kinds of grenades commonly used by paratroopers, one is the M24 long-handled grenade and the other is the M39 oval grenade, and the fuse of both grenades is 4-5 seconds.

The paratroopers placed two lamps 30 meters away from the foxhole as a reference, and under the instruction of the paratrooper sergeant, Chen Dao threw five long-handled grenades in a row, all of which landed near the two lights.

A paratrooper ran over and picked up the five grenades that had not been stringed, and Chen Dao immediately began to practice with live ammunition.

Standing on the edge of the foxhole, Chen Dao unscrewed the lid under the long-handled grenade like a paratrooper sergeant, took out the lead, put his little thumb on the ring of the lead, and then threw the white-smoking grenade into the foxhole, and then jumped to the side and fell to the ground.

With a "boom", a ball of fire erupted from the foxhole.

Chen Dao and the four paratroopers stood up, patted the dirt on their bodies, and walked to the side of the foxhole.

The paratrooper sergeant said: "That's how it is thrown at close range, it is relatively simple, let's do the long-range bombing." ”

Chen Dao was also immersed in the excitement of the successful detonation of the live ammunition just now, and this bomb dropping allowed him to find a feeling of setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year before, and with the help of this excitement, Chen Dao successfully completed three long-distance live ammunition throws.

Lying on the ground, seeing the firelight and loud noise coming from a distance, Chen Daoxin said that this bandit learned how to use a grenade so quickly, and I am really a genius in the bandit world.

After a preliminary understanding of the use of long-handled grenades, Chen Dao planned to learn the use of oval grenades in one go.

After the paratrooper sergeant briefly introduced the use of the oval grenade, Chen Dao also threw a few grenades without stringing, and after comparison, Chen Dao found that the oval grenade was lighter than the long-handled grenade, and it was not easy to exert force, and the throwing distance was obviously closer than the long-handled grenade.

Familiar with the feel of the oval grenade, Chen Dao began a live-fire exercise, and after pulling down the fuse, Chen Dao stood outside the foxhole and threw the oval grenade in his hand into the foxhole, and then lay down on the ground, "boom", and the familiar fire flew out in the foxhole.

After doing it three more times, Chen Dao was basically familiar with the use of the oval grenade, and began to practice throwing it from a distance.

Because the hand of the oval grenade was not as good as that of the long-handled grenade, Chen Dao used all his strength to make several perfect bombs every time he threw them.

"Major, the use of grenades is basically like this, you did a good job, and there is also the use of cluster grenades below, but we lack equipment, let's have a chance to practice again in the future." Said the paratrooper sergeant.

"Thank you so much for today." Chen Dao threw an ovoid grenade around with his right hand, and then said, "I have the last one left, and we'll go back after throwing this." ”

After speaking, Chen Dao held the grenade in his hand, moved his shoulders and pulled down the fuse.

Rounding his arm, Chen Dao was about to throw out the grenade, when there was a sudden sharp pain in his right calf, Chen Dao's right leg fell to the ground as soon as it was weak, and as soon as his right hand was loosened, the grenade came out of his hand and rolled to the ground, stopping four or five meters in front of Chen Dao and sneering white smoke.

"Lie down." The paratrooper sergeant standing behind Chen Dao shouted and jumped into the foxhole, and then reached out and dragged Chen Dao, who was kneeling on one knee next to him, into the foxhole・・・・・・

With a "boom", a flash of fire rose into the sky outside the foxhole.

About ten minutes later, a paratrooper rushed into Studenter's accommodation in a panic, and less than three minutes later, a disheveled Student followed the paratrooper out of his tent and trotted towards the field hospital・・・・・・
