Chapter 49 Croatian Logistics Base
The old transport plane drifted across the ocean to the Croatian logistics base, in the rickety cabin, Gou Bin had the urge to get sick at this time, the first time to take a fatal plane, and it was a tailwind, which made Gou Bin feel honored and sad, and the five of them are now like cargo pulled to the Croatian logistics base.
The Croatian logistics base is regarded as the logistics of the Gustav Line of Allies, although it is a bit of a suspicion of being far away from the sea, but at least it also ensures the invincible position of the Gustav Line, Croatia is a territory captured half a year ago, and a large number of recruits transported by the United States are stationed in it.
Gou Bin and their motherless wild children, now registered and assigned to the 502 Airborne Infantry Regiment, the newly established independent reconnaissance battalion of the fourth battalion, although the registered battalion level but the entire battalion level is only nine people, that is, the strength of a squad, Gou Bin does not know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate at this time? Becoming an airborne infantry regiment means that the whole battlefield is thrown around.
Sitting in the tinnitus cabin, Gou Bin had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears at this time, three rods plus a T-word corporal level, a junior officer at the level of deputy squad leader of the Allied Army, and now Gou Bin is considered a full-time squad leader, there is no sergeant-level private brother to grab a job with him, it seems that he is in a team with Gou Bin, and whoever climbs on Gou Bin's head is unlucky.
Thinking of the example of being promoted to military status so shabby, Gou Bin was so depressed that he had the intention of hitting the wall, and the most puzzled thing was that at the end of the promotion, when Gou Bin had just finished shaking hands with the lieutenant officer who hung the medal, the Nazis counterattacked, and a shell unfortunately fell next to the lieutenant who was withdrawn.
Sean tugged at Gou Bin's military uniform, looked at the logo on his shoulder, and said enviously: "Hi, Cruz, congratulations on your promotion to corporal now, look, add a T to these three bars, tsk, envy me to death, when will I be able to wear this military skin?" ”
Jimmy took out a cigarette and put it to his nose to sniff lightly, and asked Gou Bin next to him curiously: "Cruz, what are we doing at the Croatian logistics base this time?" It's the base of the Air Force over there, and it's also the main training base of the 502 Airborne Corps, are we going to train there? ”
Barbara scratched her short hair with one hand, scratched and scratched the ground and sighed and said: "Alas~ I just want to know, why do we have military uniforms, but we don't match military helmets, and asked the staff at the cover office, saying that there is no identity registration for us, Cruz, what the hell is going on?" ”
Snoopy smoked a cigarette in wonder, he finally got a Nazi heavy weapon MG42 machine gun, and was actually hacked to study something, Snoopy, who is used to heavy weapons, is a little unaccustomed to not having a weapon by his side, just like his hands are empty now, and he feels extremely uncomfortable.
Gou Bin took out a pack of cigarettes, shook his head and sighed and said: "Alas, guys, I don't know about this, I'll know when I go to the logistics base, I guess I should participate in training, the fourth battalion of the 502 Airborne Infantry Regiment is always a good thing!" ”
Sean lowered his head and pondered for a moment, as if recalling something, and said, "The fourth battalion of the 502nd Airborne Infantry Regiment? Cruze, I only remember that the Airborne Infantry Regiment has only three battalions as standard, the first and the second and third battalions, I have not heard of the fourth battalion, is it to strengthen the regiment? ”
Sean's words made Gou Bin shake his head, and said with some uncertainty: "It is impossible to strengthen the regiment, the five of us are registered guys, it is said that there are four recruits from the excellent military academy, who want to be added to our team, it is estimated that we are now guerrillas!" ”
"Training?" Sean and Jimmy, the four of them, all of them were stunned with expressions of disbelief on their faces, what do they need to train? The four of them looked at Gou Bin in confusion, waiting for Gou Bin to explain, Gou Bin, as their chief, must know a lot of gossip or something.
Gou Bin didn't explain much, looked at the four of them lightly and said, "We'll know when we go!" ”
Gou Bin didn't care much about what he was going to train, what he was most concerned about now was how to strengthen the team, the Normandy landing was the most cruel, and now there were less than three months before the Normandy landing battle, and they were to solve Hitler's radar signal before the landing battle.
The radar signal detected by the British Allied Commando No. 30 has a headquarters signal tower in Belgium, although the Norwegian side has solved it, but the Belgian side has not, and its signal covers most of the English Channel, as long as the Allied ships are detected, there are always heavy casualties.
Even the submarines on the Allied side of the United States, as long as they were close to the signal range of the English Channel, were always killed by Nazi destroyers, and even if they went deep to the bottom of the sea, they were sunk by depth charges, and the Allied forces with heavy losses were still confused, how did the Nazis know that they had deployed a defensive front at sea?
Eisenhower held the first meeting of the Supreme Command of the Expeditionary Force at the Norfolk Hotel, at which the program of the Normandy landing operation in June was clarified.
It wasn't until Gou Bin and the others successfully brought back important information that the high-level commanders of the allied forces, who realized that the radar signal was powerful, held a meeting for several hours overnight, and finally unanimously agreed to train several groups of elite teams on the eve of the landing battle, and send the elite teams to destroy the radar signals on the intelligence and other strait fortifications or something.
Just when Gou Bin was thinking about something, the pilot shouted to Gou Bin behind him: "The Croatian logistics base has arrived, the soldiers are holding on to anything that can be handrailed in the cabin, they are about to land, the landing is a little unstable, be careful not to meet!" ”
The five people who were reminded by the pilot grabbed the handrails in the cabin, and when the transport plane landed, it was really as the pilot said, the landing was a little unstable or something, and the shaking fuselage made Gou Bin feel very uncomfortable in their stomachs, and they felt uncomfortable.
When the pilot stopped the transport plane, he walked out of the cockpit and looked at the five GIs who seemed to have stomach twitches, and said with a wicked smile: "OK, GIs, welcome to the Croatian training base, I hope you will like it here, open the cabin and go straight away, go to the 502nd Airborne Infantry Regiment to report!" Good luck, GIs! ”
When the pilot opened the door of the cabin, a ray of sunlight shone in, and the strong sunlight made Gou Bin, who had stayed in the cabin for three or four hours, extremely uncomfortable.
Gou Bin and Sean and the five of them slowly walked out of the cabin, down-to-earth they saw the spacious airport, surrounded by all kinds of planes, there were as many as thousands of old-fashioned World War II planes, rookie pilots practicing take-off planes on the runway, and Gou Bin's eyes were straight when he saw the huge logistics base.
Where is the 502 Airborne Infantry Regiment? This question is tangled around Gou Bin, the huge airport is busy, there is no time to pay attention to Gou Bin and his group of five, even if they see it, they will hurriedly hold back their curiosity to glance at Gou Bin and them, through the transport plane they are on, you can judge that Gou Bin is coming back from the front line.
Jimmy, who had never seen the world's face in the whole hillbilly, exclaimed, "Wow! It was the first time I had entered the air base, and I didn't expect that there were so many planes, if only I could be a pilot, and I dreamed of flying in the blue sky! I regret why I didn't sign up as a pilot in the first place! ”
Sean patted Jimmy's shoulder with one hand, corrected his words seriously, and said: "Jimmy, sometimes it's better to be an infantry than a pilot, at least you can avoid shells and bullets with your feet on the ground, and the pilot's bones are not left when he is unlucky and he is directly hit by the anti-aircraft gun, and he doesn't even have a chance to escape!" ”
Snoopy glanced at the movement around him, and said coldly in his heart: "Okay, guys, I only care about one thing now, where can we find the 502 Airborne Infantry Regiment report?" Why don't you even have a GI to guide the way? Where are we headed now? ”
Barbara scratched her short hair, looked at Gou Bin with a puzzled face and said, "Cruz, do you know? Well, look at your expressions, guys, are we standing stupidly here? Or wait for the 502 Airborne Infantry Regiment to send a car to pick it up? ”
The disappeared pilot ran back and saw Gou Bin standing in a stupid hat, and kindly reminded them: "Hey, soldiers, what are you still doing here standing stupidly?" The car of the 502nd Airborne Infantry Regiment is waiting outside the airport, go straight and turn right here, let's go! Beware of the gendarmes getting you in trouble! ”
"Thanks, buddy!" Gou Bin and the others walked in the direction pointed out by the pilot, walked straight out of the airport's docking base, and then turned right to the pilot's rest dormitory house, and immediately saw a jeep parked on the side, and a captain officer wearing sunglasses looked at Gou Bin with a big cigar in his mouth and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The captain officer beckoned to Gou Bin and them, raised his hoarse voice and said: "Soldiers, you are one minute and thirty-nine seconds late, and you were supposed to be punished, for the sake of your newcomers, this time it's yours, get in the car, take you to meet your new teammates, you are Cruz?" ”
In the confused gaze of the captain officer, Gou Bin stretched out his hand and politely introduced himself: "Hello sir, I'm Corporal Cruze, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
The captain officer stretched out his calloused hand, shook Gou Bin's hand for a while, and said, "Captain Jameson, your temporary instructors for this training, soldiers, get in the car!" Who can drive? Oh! It seems that they are all car blind, what are you doing standing stupidly? Don't get in the car yet? Dogs dogs..."
When Captain Jameson just asked who would drive, Gou Bin and Sean looked at each other, and the shrewd Jameson saw their weak expressions at a glance, and with a disappointed expression, he threw away the cigar in his hand, and waved his hand and shouted for them to get into the car, and the driver seemed to be himself.
