Chapter 63, Airborne Nanjing

"The Japanese army is gone? Are you sure? Lu Qiang took the phone and asked the ants.

"Several planes came with such information, and they really did not see any traces of the Japanese army." The ant on the other end of the phone said.

"That's weird, where are you going back? It is impossible for them to disappear out of thin air, let the Jian-5 reconnoiter at a low altitude. Lu Qiang said, hung up the phone, and thought in his head, why is this? The army of 100,000 can't just disappear all at once, it should be hidden.

"Could it be broken into pieces?" Lu Qiang said to himself, this may not be small, when they bombed other Japanese troops before, they did this, but their troops are relatively small in number, suitable for concealment, but so many troops are hidden at once, it is really powerful.

Looking up at the sky outside the window, it is gradually getting dark, and in another forty or fifty minutes, the sky will be completely dark, and the devil probably wants to march in the dark. Lu Qiang guessed. But it doesn't matter, the 258th Reserve Division should be at the blocking point.

The location of the blockade is located between Yaoli Town and Yeji Town, which is worthy of the Central Plains, all of which are flat rivers, which are perfect for Lu Qiang's army, as long as a few machine guns are set up, they can completely stop the Japanese army.

Moreover, the plain area is very suitable for tank cluster operations, and Lu Qiang considered whether to withdraw the armored division and put it here.

Thinking about this, this is indeed feasible, the next thing is to fight the battle of crossing the river, the role of tanks is not very big, they don't have that kind of troop carriers, the tanks can only rely on the pontoon bridge to pass, and the song has to wait for the beachhead to be completely taken down. So the tank didn't play much role for the time being, and Lu Qiang decided to drop the armored division here and hit the cluster, so that the Japanese army could see the armored cluster on their body.

This side is moving, and the troops attacking Nanjing have not stopped, and the airborne division is ready to go, taking advantage of the night to drop over, although it is dangerous to parachute at night, but it can be taken by surprise.

In addition, Lu Qiang also sent a helicopter group over to cooperate with the beachfront landing.

In response to the Japanese army going south to the Dabie Mountains, Lu Qiangzhong sent a helicopter squadron, and in the plain area, the role of helicopters is not as big as the landing on the beach or street fighting, and on the plains, machine guns and artillery planes are enough, and the helicopters are small in number, which is not much use, but it will be easy to provoke public anger and be set on fire by the Japanese army.

With dozens of transport planes in the air, the fighters of the airborne division were about to go to Forte for the Japanese army. The veterans who have traveled to the Northeast are fine, but the new recruits in the later stage will inevitably be nervous, and as a result, everyone in the cabin is silent and the atmosphere is very depressing.

Seeing this, the veterans had to stand up and liven up the atmosphere, because they were too nervous and easy to break.

The Il-76 and modified B-45 transport planes carried more than 9,000 people and flew to Nanjing, with the Jian-5 following to escort the escort on the left and right.

At night, the roar of the plane's engines is invisibly amplified, and the noise of the jets is loud enough, but now it sounds even bigger.

At this time, the planes were cut off, and it sounded like there were quite a few of them, and one after another flew into the sky in the whistling sound.

Lying in a weedy outside Dawang Village, a figure swayed in it, he silently counted the planes that flew into the sky, gradually, his head began to sweat, this took off too much, conservative estimates, at least hundreds.

Although this figure didn't know what the take-off plane was doing at night, but taking off so many planes, there must be some attempt, he didn't wait for the planes to take off, he found a radio station, ticking to generate electricity, but he found that his telegram could not be sent, the signal seemed to be blocked by something, and now his heart was more anxious, the more so, the more it means that these planes must be going to do something big.

The signal was blocked, the telegram could not be sent, and the figure was in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

Not long after, in Dawang Village, one found Lu Qiang and handed over a telegram, "It's just the telegram that was intercepted just now, and it's been translated." ”

Lu Qiang was a little surprised, took the telegram, looked up and down, but he didn't expect that there were still Japanese spies who dared to send a telegram in Dawang Village, "Do you know where the telegram came from?" ”

"I don't know, but I know it's from outside the village."

"Outside the village, it seems that the outside of the village should also strengthen the force, so send people to search outside the village."

"Yes."

The figure hiding in the grass nest, although he was anxious because the telegram could not be sent, was also vigilant, and immediately packed up his things, changed places, and found a more hidden place to hide.

The transport planes and the Jian-5 maintained their formation and soon arrived over Nanjing, and their airborne landing site was in Fuli Village, which was only one step away from Nanjing City, and not far from the mouth of the Yangtze River, with a total length of more than one kilometer.

In Fuli Village, the people who had already touched it fired a signal flare, and a big cross was arranged with a red signal stick on the ground, indicating that the landing point was here.

The Japanese troops in Nanjing were nervous because of the sudden roar of airplanes in the sky, and all the Japanese soldiers who had been sleeping at night came out and were on alert.

The sudden flare pushed this atmosphere to the top, and none of them hit the signal flare, indicating that this signal flare was fired by other forces, but as long as it was not fired by their troops, it was the enemy.

"Ding Ding Ding ~" A red light flashed in the cabin of the transport plane, the hatch opened, and a strong air flow rushed in, and they were all used to it.

"Check your gear and get ready for your skydive." The company commander shouted, and a transport plane transported a company.

"Come back alive!" As the green light turned on, the company commander suddenly shouted.

"Come back alive!" Everyone should be.

"Jump!"

One by one, the paratroopers jumped out of the back door and freefell through the air.

Tonight is a sunny day, from the sky, there are dots of lights in Nanjing, but they are not concerned, their target is the red light emitted by the red signal stick, and it is cross-shaped, which will test their eyesight and observation.

On the other side of the river, a large number of artillery pieces were assembled, the artillery was on standby, and the infantry was not in a hurry, they had to wait for the airborne division to take the banks of the Yangtze River before attacking.

The Yangtze River is narrower here, and it is faster to cross the river, but the water is also deeper, and there is a high possibility of drowning.

Nanjing, the originally bald presidential palace has now become the general headquarters of the Japanese army, many high-level Japanese soldiers are assembled here, and the soon-to-be-established Wang puppet is also here, after all, there are still a large number of puppet troops under their command.

These high-level Japanese military officials were nervous, while Wang Puppets were a little panicked, after all, they defected to the Japanese army, they were traitors, and if they were caught, they would be cut by a thousand knives. (To be continued.) )
