The sky gradually brightened, the fiery red sun slowly jumped over the sea level of the Mediterranean, and ten thousand golden rays of light suddenly sprinkled into the sky, illuminating the black oppressive C47 in the air, which was rumbling along the coastline towards Algiers, the capital of Algeria...... Because Algiers is right by the sea, it is not easy to get lost by flying along the coastline, and the other is to avoid the ground anti-aircraft weapons of the Zoaf Corps as much as possible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A few early fishermen stood on the boats and stared at the transport planes flying in the sky like locusts, bewildered and unsure whether to report it or act as if nothing had happened.

Many of them are asking:

"What's going on?"

"Is that a plane for the Germans?"

……

It is clear that they feared the Germans much more than the Allies.

"Report to each unit!" Zhang Chi ordered.

"A group of two transport planes is missing!" The townsman replied.

"Five transport planes of the second regiment are missing!" Wu Yuhang replied.

"How?!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but scold: "Five transport planes are missing? ”

"General!" Wu Yuhang replied with some grievances: "I ......"

At this time, Zhang Chi realized that the disappearance of the transport plane was not under the control of the regiment commander, but the business of the US pilots.

"All of them!" Then Zhang Chi ordered: "Get ready for a skydive!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

"And voila! Algiers! Then Jacques shouted out the window.

Jacques was a Frenchman, a Frenchman who had served in Algeria and was familiar with the terrain.

As mentioned before, the Commonwealth Army has troops from all over the world, including the French exiles...... Most of them were young men who had fled from France and hoped to liberate France with the help of the Allies, so it was not to mention how excited they were to hear that they were being brought back to Algeria.

Before the words fell, there were several whistling sounds in the air, and I saw more than a dozen old French fighters swooping down and appearing in Zhang Chi's field of vision, and almost at the same time, there were bursts of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground, and black fog exploded by anti-aircraft artillery shells around the transport plane.

But this is clearly only the result of Algiers' hasty preparations.

First of all, the fire of the ground anti-aircraft guns was not fierce, and it can be seen from this that Algiers had not yet had time to organize its troops.

The second is that the speed of the dozen or so French fighters in the air who served as interceptors was not much faster than that of the C47, and they even used the high-speed strafing of the dive, and then they were left behind by the C47 and had no chance to attack.

Of course, their attack only sent black smoke from the engine of a C47, but the C47 was clearly able to withstand it.

However, it may also be due to the fact that the fighters of the French colonies were generally backward.

Therefore, these powerless interceptions by the French army only added a little war atmosphere to the airborne landing of the expeditionary force.

At this moment, the red light in the cabin turned on, which was a signal to prepare for a skydive.

So everyone, including Zhang Chi, lined up in the cabin with parachutes on their backs, the difference is that Zhang Chi is a guard before and after, and their task is to ensure Zhang Chi's safety...... Of course, it is impossible to "guarantee" on the battlefield, and what they can do is to try to solve the threat to Zhang Chi.

Then the hatch opened, and the fighters jumped out one by one, and Zhang Chi jumped out after him...... The feeling of weightlessness made Zhang Chi dizzy for a while, and then he felt that he was being pulled up by a force, and then Zhang Chi saw a spectacular picture that can only be seen in TV and movies: there were dandelion-like parachutes everywhere in front of and behind him, and French fighters were interspersed with them, and from time to time they shot rows of bullets at the soldiers who were still descending in the air, in addition to the black smoke that exploded nearby, they all posed a threat to the soldiers who were parachuting.

Occasionally, a fighter plane would fly under Zhang Chi's feet with a whistling sound, and Zhang Chi thought at that time that the pilot on the plane must not have recognized himself as a major general, otherwise he would never let him go.

Fortunately, the process of airborne landing was not long, and soon Zhang Chi and the soldiers landed near Dali Airport one by one and launched an attack towards the airport.

The Zoaf Corps is clearly not as combat-ready as the intelligence says...... Zhang Chi landed about two kilometers away from the airport, and when he arrived at the battlefield with the guards, the airport had already been captured by the soldiers of the expeditionary force.

Later, Zhang Chi learned that the expeditionary force's ability to capture the airport so quickly was indeed related to the combat effectiveness of the Zoaf Corps, after all, this corps was a French colonial army, and no matter how well prepared the colonial army was, it was difficult for them to have a tenacious will to fight and fight the enemy desperately, not to mention that they were still a unit with basically no combat experience.

On the other hand, it is because there are still many supporters of General Juan at Dali Airport...... Before the troops sent by Darlang could clear or take full control of the Dali airfield, the Chinese expeditionary force fell from the sky.

Needless to say, the rest is not too much to say.

The expeditionary force immediately set up defenses around the airport, and after the signal corps set up the radio, Zhang Chi reported to the command of the Eighth Army: "We have successfully occupied the Dali airport!" ”

"Major General, you're crazy!" This was Montgomery's first reply, and Montgomery asked, "Did you see Tinbeck?" ”

"No, no!" Zhang Chi replied.

Tinbeck was a French captain who originally controlled the Dalí airfield and was also General Juan's liaison with the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

However, this is no longer important, as originally planned...... This Tinbeck would take Zhang Chi to meet with General Juan and discuss the cooperation between the two armies to completely seize control of Algiers.

But by this time General Juan had been arrested, and all this had lost its meaning.

"So, Major General!" Montgomery said, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Moncomari's meaning was clear, it was impossible to use the appeal of General Juan, the original plan was completely impossible, and the next question was how the expeditionary force should deal with the approximately 70,000 soldiers of the Zoaf Regiment in Algiers.

Montgomery's flabby answer left Montgomery dumbfounded.

"It's easy!" Zhang Chi replied: "Go to the headquarters of the Zoaf Corps and rescue General Zhu An!" ”

"What?" Montgomery couldn't help but exclaim: "You're crazy, how is this possible?" ”

Zhang Chi didn't call back because he didn't have time to waste time.
