Chapter Ninety-One: Airdrop of Arms
When he got to the sky, Anton sat next to Meng Chang, looking at the dark sky, not many stars twinkling and twinkling, how to distinguish the direction, Meng Chang took out a large compass.
"Did you see it, our destination is in our northeast, we can fly directly to the northeast, less than a thousand kilometers, almost to the place, we are looking for a place in detail." Meng Chang took the map, looked at the compass and said.
"That's not good, the plane is a little bit off the direction, and it can deviate for dozens of kilometers, so you can't find the destination at all" Anton said speechlessly.
"Don't worry, I won't let you get lost" Meng Chang was full of confidence.
Anton also lost the interest in talking, he really can't fly anywhere, anyway, he is German, and safety is not a problem.
Meng Chang pulled the plane to an altitude of 5,000 meters, so that there would be no accidents such as collisions. After flying for two and a half hours, Meng Chang began to adjust the course according to the prompts of the search instrument, and it was already twelve o'clock in the sky above Yixian, Meng Chang saw that he wanted to fly to the east of Yixian County, and after a few minutes, he found that there were three fires below, this is the signal, Meng Chang began to descend the height of the plane, and when it descended to two thousand meters, he began to airdrop materials, each airdrop package was numbered, a total of six packages, Anton opened the bomb port under the plane in the back, and pushed the packages down one by one, Meng Chang went around the fire, began to return home.
Because at night, Meng Chang didn't dare to fly the plane too low, so the packages dropped were more scattered, which was not bad, there were no people here. Liu Xicai began to organize the team members to concentrate the package into a cave above, this place used to be a bandit's nest, the front of the cave has also been leveled, there are seven or eight acres in size, the cave is also quite large, and there is a small cave behind the passage of the mountain, this place is a natural bandit's nest.
When the package was opened, there were weapons and ammunition, as well as a lot of canned food and rice and flour. Liu Xicai finally found a letter written by Meng Chang inside, which explained two things.
The first one has a batch of supplies tomorrow night around half past three.
The second thing is the reorganization of the special combat team. It was reorganized into three platoons, a platoon of three twelve infantry squads, a squad of twelve people, one MG34 machine gun, three Thompson submachine guns, six Mauser 98 rifles, two large mirror shuttle box guns for each squad leader and deputy squad leader, and one large mirror shuttle box gun for the rest of the people. There was also a six-man group of 60 mortars, all of whom wore a box gun. There is one portable radio station, a total of 43 people.
Liu Xicai saw it, then began to reorganize, roughly according to the previous squadron situation, now is to supplement the junior team, when they started training, because they were small, they took care of it, but after more than three months of training, the physical fitness is very good. After the reorganization was completed, they began to cook and eat, and the special combat team did not have a cooking class, so Liu Xicai had to arrange for someone to cook.
First began to release the open and dark posts, and then built fortifications, this place has been completely destroyed in the process of encirclement and suppression, and many places have to be rebuilt.
After all, this place is in the hinterland of Jinzhou, and it is impossible to entrench here for a long time, and there is no confrontation of large troops around, and small troops will not survive at all. There's nowhere to go around. Liu Xicai called several squadron leaders and Li Xizhuang together.
"If the enemy is found here, we can still use tactics and guerrilla blocking for small troops, but once the large army is surrounded, this is the place of death, I think this time the captain means that he wants us to be nailed here, you see if there is any good way."
"It's not easy here, the people here have scared the little devils to kill, that is, some people have the heart to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, but in the face of bloody bayonets, they don't dare to come out. Whether it is the beard or the Anti-United Nations over the years, they have basically disappeared. If we want to gain a foothold here, we must first find a place to defend, so that we can deal with the little devils, and after a long time, someone will join our team. Li Xizhuang said.
"Then what to do, shoot and leave, this is not the captain's mind," Liu Xicai said.
"That's the only way to find a new place, this place looks at the mountains and dense forests, but if you look at the map, there are large forces of little devils around, once the encirclement is formed, the surrounding people will denounce us again, but there is no place to run. The mountains and forests are too small. Liu Qingniu said.
"Okay, let's talk about it when the captain comes, how to do this place to see if the captain has a plan" Several people did not discuss the result.
After the simple fortifications are repaired, the team members have been gathered, and they are familiar with each other and cooperated, after all, some team members have been newly added, and they still have to form a tacit understanding.
In this way, after waiting until more than three o'clock in the evening, Liu Xi called the team members up and began to gather in the small square. The second batch of supplies is about to be airdropped.
Meng Chang was ready at the airport in Liujiatun, and he carried a lot of grenades on the plane, and the arm strength of the team members was quite large, which was equivalent to a grenadier for a little devil, and it was very useful when attacking or defending.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning, Meng Chang and Anton began to take off, along yesterday's route, to Yixian, until now, Anton did not figure out how Meng Chang found the target yesterday, and then it could only be attributed to Meng Chang's good flying skills, and when he was almost at the place, Meng Chang asked Anton to start driving, and he gave directions.
"Major Anton, after I have parachuted, you will follow the direction above the compass and drive all the way southwest, until 6 o'clock, and you will be able to see the direction below, so that you will not lose your way. When you go back, you must remember to keep it at an altitude of five thousand meters, in case the little devil hears the roar of the plane," Meng Chang explained to Anton many times.
"Oh God, Commander, was your predecessor an old lady, you have said this a hundred times, you are such an insult to the German ace pilot, oh God, it is terrible" Anton wailed.
"Aren't I afraid that you will affect my next operation, okay, it's time to get there, I'm going to airdrop it, and drop the plane down to two thousand meters." Meng Chang saw the place and stopped Anton's wailing, how to put the supplies.
