Chapter 453: Airborne Gomand

"Enemy!" Qin Chuan shouted, pushed the car door without hesitation, rolled over and jumped down.

There are also Dominique who act like Qin Chuan, because they all know one thing: if the enemy is even ready for anti-aircraft guns, of course they will also be on guard against this jeep.

Sure enough, there was a "click" of machine guns, and the dense bullets knocked the jeep into a sieve, and the communicator and a rifleman, who did not react fast enough, were killed on the spot...... In fact, it is not that the correspondent is unresponsive, but that he is caught in the middle and cannot react at all.

Another rifleman was spared when Dominic jumped out of the jeep and turned a corner, leaving him on the other side protected by the body and two comrades.

"Get out of the car, soldier!" Qin Chuan shouted at the rifleman.

The frightened rifleman reacted and climbed out of the car and hid behind the wheels...... It's a clever thing to do, because the strongest part of the jeep, including the car, is the wheels, and the rest of the body looks thick but is actually just a layer of iron sheet.

Almost at the same time, the "target aircraft" fell from the sky in an arc in the air...... Qin Chuan wasn't sure if it was "off", because it was still balancing in the air and landing, but it glided some distance when it landed and plunged headlong into the sand.

From this, Qin Chuan judged that Hannah was still alive, and she should have been controlling the "target plane" to make a forced landing just now.

Qin Chuan guessed correctly, the "target plane" was damaged by the anti-aircraft gun, and the engine lost power.

The pulse engine itself is one of the more prone to failure on the "target aircraft", and black smoke rises immediately after being hit by shrapnel, but luckily Hannah immediately shut down the engine...... This is obviously the right choice, and if the engine is not turned off, it will face two serious consequences, one is that the engine catches fire and affects the entire "target aircraft", and the other is that there is a leakage of highly toxic fuel.

Either way, Hannah is undoubtedly dead.

Although the engine was immediately out of power, Hannah was a master of flying without motor power, and she controlled the "target plane" to glide in the air for a while and then made a forced landing, only to crash into the sand when she crashed into the landing gear because it was too fast.

Qin Chuan looked at the distance of the "target aircraft", but it was only more than two hundred meters...... This was something that neither Qin Chuan nor the enemy expected.

Indeed, it was Major Jayden who had just been promoted to command the operation.

Major Jayden and his men are a carefully selected team of MI6 from the "Airborne Gomander".

The word "Gomand" originated from a war between Britain and the African colonies in the last century, in which the African Boers were scattered into small detachments when their strength was far inferior to the British army, and the powerful British army was disrupted.

At that time, the British called this kind of small detachment of the Boer people "Gomander", which can be understood as "small commando...... In fact, "Gomand" refers not only to the formal assault team, but also to the tactics of small detachments such as the Boers.

This tactic was used by this "Airborne Gomander", which was also the predecessor of the British special forces "Airborne Special Service Regiment".

Of course, at this time, the scale of the "Airborne Gomand" was still very small, with a total number of only 110 people, most of whom were selected from the British 1st Airborne Division...... And the members of the 1st Airborne Division are from experienced veterans, so it can be said that they are the elite of the elite. (Note: The "Airborne Gomand" had only 392 people after it was expanded in December 1942.)

This time, the "Airborne Gomander" came to 56 people...... The reason why 56 people came was because one C47 transport aircraft could carry 28 paratroopers, and two were exactly 56 people.

Five days earlier, the airborne detachment had secretly parachuted into Sarat in the dark of night, and their mission was to break into the secret camp of the German army and obtain information about the new German weapons.

But after observing the layout of the camp, Major Jayden found that this was almost an impossible task: there were not many soldiers stationed in the camp, only more than a hundred, but the defense was quite tight, and judging from the performance and reconnaissance of these German troops in peacetime, Major Jayden knew that the quality of the German army in front of him was not at all weaker than his own, or even surpassed.

Therefore, attacking a heavily guarded camp of more than 100 people with a force of 56 people can almost be said to be looking for death.

Just when Major Jayden was at a loss, he saw an opportunity to exploit it, and he was surprised to find that the Germans were testing some kind of flying machine, and in testing such a flying machine they had to spread out their forces over a distance of two hundred kilometers...... That was a test flight two days ago.

"We can do it without storming their camp!" Major Jayden said to his deputy, Captain Mason.

"Uh-huh!" Captain Mason agreed: "But I have two questions! ”

"What?"

"First of all, how do we get the job done?" Mason said: "That is, to what extent do you want to know about this new equipment of the Germans? ”

"They should have had the final say!" Major Jayden said, "But now it's up to us to decide!" ”

Major Jayden was right, MI6's requirements for this mission were twofold: the performance of the new equipment, and the role of the new equipment.

It should be said that this requirement of MI6 is a bit excessive, because to understand both of these two points it is necessary to obtain key documents or capture a scientific researcher who knows the truth. This necessitated the storming of the barracks.

But when the assault on the barracks was assessed as impossible, Major Jayden decided that he should settle for the next best thing.

"We can shoot it down!" Major Jayden said, "So we can take pictures of the inside of that strange flying machine!" Then send the photos back and let them analyze the performance themselves, and if they can't do that, let them do it themselves! ”

"I agree!" Mason said, "If we're lucky, we'll be able to capture the pilot, and then we'll have everything!" ”

"What about your second question?" Major Jayden asked.

"When will they make a second test flight?" Mason asked.

"The devil knows!" Major Jayden replied, "Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year!" ”

Mason raised his eyebrows: "That's the problem!" ”

"But we always have to try our luck, don't we?" Major Jayden said, "So, let them drop a few anti-aircraft guns!" ”

"Yes, Major!" Mason nodded, and then passed the order to the Messenger.
