592: The Japanese who were scared silly
Before leaving the plane, a strong wind blew wildly on everyone's body, making it impossible to open their eyes, but at this time they had to keep their eyes open, and when the body completely left the plane, the wind was gradually decreasing, and after about a few seconds, if the weather was good, basically only the wind when it fell. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Yang Quan left the plane, the huge white umbrella bag was opened instantly, and before he left the plane, the entire airborne regiment had almost parachuted about a thousand people, of course, among their group, Yang Quan belonged to the last group of parachutes.
The airborne landing was divided into three batches, with an interval of about five minutes in between, mainly because of the limited airborne area, in order to avoid soldiers parachuting into the center of the city, they were surrounded at the first moment after the successful airborne landing.
In addition, the altitude of the airborne landing is also very particular, the airborne altitude selected by the airborne regiment this time is 450 meters, and the parachute is fully deployed in the area between 370 meters and 300 meters, and it takes about half a minute from the opening of the parachute bag to the successful landing.
That is, at this altitude, it takes less than a minute from the moment of leaving the aircraft to be able to drop troops on the ground.
Heights below 500 meters allow paratroopers to launch effective attacks or defenses to avoid being too dispersed. The lower the distance, the smaller the area where the troops land, and the more helpful it will be for the later battles.
When the airborne troops are in the air, they do not have any combat capability, and the only thing they can do is to tighten the parachute line as much as possible and control the position where they land.
If the enemy forces on the ground have a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns at this time, then the airborne troops will suffer huge losses, and in addition to the soldiers scattered all over the place, airborne operations often mean that the troops will never be fully manned at the moment they leave the planes, and under normal circumstances, being able to gather 80 percent of the troops within the specified time is considered a relatively perfect airborne operation, and the assembly rate of most airborne troops after airborne landing in World War II in history is less than 60 percent.
Yang Quan controlled the parachute line and adjusted the position of his landing, at this time, he basically only needed to pay attention to two points, the first point, whether the area where you landed was within the range of the enemy's firepower, and the second point, whether there were any friendly troops around where you landed.
The requirements of airborne operations are particularly high, and although these airborne troops are veterans who have come down from the battlefield, this is only the first time for them to conduct airborne operations, and they are still outright 'new recruits'. Therefore, at this time, no one pays attention to the third point, which is that after a safe landing, it can immediately occupy a favorable terrain and launch an attack on the target area.
Although the airborne regiment is inexperienced, the Japanese here are even more inexperienced, let alone immediately organize an effective defense, these Japanese have never even seen an airplane, and they don't even know what an airplane is?
Not only civilians, but even soldiers had the same idea, and looking at the white umbrella flowers in the sky, the Japanese on the ground were still in extreme shock at this time, and they had no sense of resistance at all.
"This ...... This is the Chinese? On the ground, in the temporary military camp about a few hundred meters outside Asahikawa Castle, Shimada Youzo, who had withdrawn from Sapporo, looked at the white parachutes in the sky with a shocked face, and Chinese were hanging one by one below.
Yes, Shimada Youzo can be sure that it is Chinese, gray-green helmet, gray-green military uniform, a small bag hanging on his chest, and a Type 03 automatic rifle fixed under the bag, or a sniper rifle, or other equipment, this dress, Shimada Matsuzo can tell their identity at a glance.
Shimada Youzo's ability in business is not very strong, and he will never be among the top people in the entire army, and he will not be found in the last ones, Shimada Youzo is only a group of people who are in the middle and low levels, and they belong to the backbone of the army, but they are dispensable.
At this moment, Shimada Youzo's identity is the instructor of the recruits, not only Shimada, the Japanese soldiers who survived in the early stage, almost everyone has become instructors, they have basically lost the channel to contact the outside world, no, they can only contact Hakodate through the coastal area in the east, and this channel is not guaranteed to be open all the time.
Shimada Youzo couldn't believe that even if this scene happened in front of his eyes, the Chinese could actually come down from the sky, which completely subverted Shimada Youzo's cognition, which is like putting it in the current era, someone told the Chinese that the situation of someone landing on the moon in a few decades is the same, although they have developed an airplane and invested in the military, but they still dare not imagine that one day they will go to the moon.
"Teach...... Instructors, are they human? How did they come down from heaven? A recruit stammered, the shock in his heart was no less than anyone else's, and the recruit's performance at this moment basically represented the situation of the entire recruit camp.
"Baga, gather the troops, use all means, and quickly kill them." Just as everyone was shocked, there was a sudden burst of fierce angry scolding in the barracks.
The one who opened his mouth to scold was the supreme commander of this barracks, Captain Sada Jun, and there was also a temporary barracks in the west of the city, where the supreme military commander was also a captain, and the supreme military commander of the entire Asahikawa was only a young commander, and these people had all fled back from the front line.
But these people are not like the Fourth Division, so even if they escaped, they did not try their best to flee for their lives, but immediately went to Asahikawa to recruit troops and conduct training in order to wait for a counterattack.
However, when Sadajun shouted this sentence, the parachute in the air had basically disappeared, and the planes in the sky were gradually moving away, but in the distance, other planes could still be seen flying towards the sky over Asahikawa.
Sadajun was also deeply shocked by this scene, but as a military commander, although he was only a small captain, he also knew very well in his heart that the enemy would definitely not come here in this way to show them.
While ordering, he cursed in his heart, no wonder the enemy on the other side of Sapporo didn't make any movement, and felt that they were planning to occupy Asahikawa in this way.
……
After the parachute opened, the speed of the body began to slow down, and the worries in everyone's hearts dissipated, airborne training, they have carried out no less than ten times, and everyone knows that as long as the parachute is opened more than 100 meters, unless it is too lucky, otherwise, there will be no worries about life, at best, it is a broken foot, or a direct fracture.
But as airborne troops who have undergone two years of professional training, the possibility of such a low-level mistake is still very low, and for them, as long as the parachute can be opened, then it basically means safety.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the parachute is hung directly on the tree, and the whole person hangs in the air. In this case, you can only resign yourself to fate, if you are lucky, you can jump down, if you are unlucky, you will be thrown half to death, if there are friendly troops around, everyone will take a hand to save your life, if there is an enemy around, then you can only go to the enemy as a fixed target.
Parachutes hung on large trees from time to time, especially in this era, when forest trees had not yet been cut down on a large scale and the forest cover area was still extensive.
One after another paratroopers landed on the ground, and everyone did not rush to take back the parachute bag, under normal circumstances, after the parachute landing on the battlefield, the parachute bag would be directly abandoned, and only after the war would the parachute be retracted. And if the situation is not particularly urgent when the parachute is dropped, the paratroopers will take the parachute bag back roughly, then hide it in one place, and then go to get it back.
The umbrella bag is a good thing in this era, it can be said that the whole body is full of treasures, the umbrella is made of cotton, an umbrella bag is about three meters in radius after opening, and an umbrella bag can be made into several sets of clothes. The paracord is also a good thing, tough and durable, with a few thin three-liter sticks screwed together, and can even be used directly for pulling the cart.
Yang Quan was lucky, before he landed, almost a dozen soldiers in the area he chose had successfully landed and were on alert in time. Yang Quan just landed in the middle of these dozen people, so Yang Quan was absolutely safe.
In mid-air, Yang Quan also observed the surrounding situation, and did not see the Japanese army, and after Yang Quan, no one chose to land here.
"Squad leader, we have a total of seventeen people here plus you, from the first battalion and one company, the second company, the second battalion and the third company, there is a sniper, a mortar, but there are no shells, you are the highest rank here." After Yang Quan landed, a nearby soldier lowered his body and walked to Yang Quan's side and reported.
"Now there is another battalion and four companies, half of them are on guard, and half of them are collecting umbrella bags, which is a little faster." Yang Quan smiled, he didn't expect that there were twelve people in his class, and none of the seventeen people here were from his own class, "The sniper stared at the southwest, and reported any movement immediately. ”
"Yes!" With Yang Quan's order, the sixteen soldiers quickly divided and cooperated, some collecting umbrella bags and some responsible for guarding.
The collection of umbrella bags is not complicated, just a casual roll in a ball, and when it is used again, it will be rearranged at the airport. The concept of hierarchy in the airborne troops is particularly serious, this is not a problem between individuals, but because of the nature of the troops, just like this situation, although Yang Quan is only a squad leader, but if there are fifty people around him at this time, one hundred people, as long as there is no officer or squad leader of the same level in the middle, then Yang Quan is the supreme commander here, and everyone must obey his orders, at this time, there is no such thing as a battalion, a company, and a platoon.
