Chapter 737: The Soviet Army's Airborne Landing Begins
"It's not early! Hurry up, get on the transport plane, we will immediately set off for the Leningrad-Novgorod airborne! ”
Vasilyich, the commander of the Soviet Airborne Division, was next to an American military support, roaring loudly at the Soviet parachute troops who were ready to go.
"Yes! Teachers! ”
Listening to the hoarse shouting and commanding voice of the division commander Vasilishi, many Soviet officers and soldiers agreed in unison and went up to the C-47 transport plane.
This time, the Soviet army carried out the airborne C-47 transport aircraft group, but it received a lot of sponsorship from the US military, at least 38 planes.
In addition to this, this time the Battle of Leningrad-Novgorod launched by Stalin; Britain and the United States also gave a batch of new fighters to the Soviet army for use in combat.
These fighters include the P-51 Mustang, Hurricane, and Spitfire.
Moreover, Britain and the United States also dispatched some officers with relatively actual combat experience to guide and train the Soviet army's airborne troops.
The purpose of all this was to make the Soviet airborne troops stronger, and to kill more German troops, so as to alleviate the defeat and retreat on the Western Front, and it was best to allow the German army to send more troops to the Eastern Front to fight, and consume more German troops.
In this way, the British and American troops can smoothly open up one or two more battlefields in the European theater.
"Nervous? Ivanov? ”
Not long after, in a C-47 transport plane, Soviet paratrooper Sergei Ladorov asked his teammate Ivanov, who was sitting next to him.
"Hmmm! Nervous! But also excited! ”
"Because this time the British and American forces have given me a lot of new weapons and equipment to fight against Germany, you see this Thomson submachine gun, and the M1 Garand rifle, and this C-47 transport plane is really good!"
"It would be nice if we had these weapons and equipment early on, especially those Air Force instructors who guided us in airborne training, with their guidance, our strength has also improved a lot!"
"So I'm excited and nervous right now, and I really want to kill more Germans when the airborne landing is successful!"
"Let's hope that this time our raid on Leningrad-Novgorod will be successful!"
Soviet paratrooper Sergei Ladorov praised while holding the M1 Garand rifle in his hand.
"Hey! In this case, you will kill a little more Germans, I am optimistic about you! ”
"And I also want to know if the weapons and equipment of these Yankees are really much better than ours!"
Ivanov smiled slightly.
"As long as you can kill a few more German weapons and equipment, they are the best weapons and equipment in the world!"
Soviet paratrooper Sergei Radorov grinned greatly.
"Don't worry! We will definitely be able to kill more Germans, and I feel that our airborne operation will be very successful this time! ”
Ivanov nodded in agreement.
"Hmmm! May God bless us! ”
Soviet paratrooper Sergei Ladorov made a prayer gesture and smiled.
"Ulla! God will bless us! ”
Ivanov shouted excitedly as if he were charged.
Then the two of them talked about some other things, but at this moment, suddenly the C-47 transport plane they were flying on was ordered to prepare for airborne operations.
Because they had already arrived in the airspace of the German-occupied Leningrad-Novgorod area on a C-47 transport plane.
Although they had not yet seen an interception by German aviation units or the firing of German anti-aircraft artillery groups, they did not dare to get too close to the sky above the area where they were going to be airborne.
Because the pilots and commanders who flew and directed these C-47 transport planes were afraid of a surprise attack by the German aviation forces and anti-aircraft artillery groups, they kept a certain safe distance and did not get too close.
