Chapter 372: Airborne on Chinese New Year's Eve

readx; Su Dao's strong statement made the officers below a little embarrassed, it was already a little past eight o'clock, and it was necessary to rush to various places to support before eleven o'clock in the evening, and the airport in Kaohsiung was also 720 kilometers away from Bayunbang.

If the airborne troops were on standby at this time, they would be able to board the transport plane in a few minutes, and even if the transport plane did not drive to the maximum speed on the way, it would be no problem to arrive in Bayunbang before 11 o'clock.

But today is Chinese New Year's Eve, such a special day, even the people in these headquarters are still eating and drinking, not to mention the front-line troops below.

The pressure was so great in Pingli, and it was the most solemn festival of the year, and it was very likely that the troops below had also drunk some wine, and if they were sent to the battlefield in this way, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, everyone hoped that this worry would be unnecessary, but even then it would be difficult for them to get there before eleven o'clock.

Because it takes time from the issuance of the order to the boarding of the troops, to the inspection and replenishment of the transport plane before takeoff, etc., and this will take at least an hour, even if they shorten the inspection time and do not fill up the fuel tank, it will take at least half an hour, so there are only two and a half hours left, and there is still a lot of difficulty.

But this is Su Dao's order, no matter how difficult it is, they can't say anything, because in the expeditionary force, Su Dao is even more similar to that kind of symbolic existence, no one can disobey his order, and no one wants to disobey Su Dao's order.

"Go and ask Qin Yu to see if you know the cause of this matter."

After seeing that the people below did not have any objections, Su Dao's mood calmed down a little, and he immediately began to care about the cause of the matter.

For the Filipinos, there is no need for them to risk their lives to attack the garrison of the expeditionary force, and Su Dao does not think that anyone will not be afraid of death, but after seeing death, he still rushes forward, as if life is not his.

Subconsciously, Su Dao felt that this matter was not as simple as they imagined, the riot was certain, but in this, there must be some ulterior secrets hidden, and Su Dao gradually became interested in this, he wanted to know who was capable of setting off such a huge riot in the Philippines, and it was a riot in many places at the same time.

Not long after, the communications soldier who had gone for questioning returned again, still holding a telegram in his hand, and the expression on his face was still urgent.

"Report to the commander, Commander Qin said that he is investigating the reason, but he has encountered a lot of problems at present, there is no abnormality before the incident, neither the troops nor the local Chinese have found it, and so far, they have not received any reports from the **."

The Signal Soldier reported.

"I see."

Su Dao nodded slowly, and fell into deep thought again.

There was nothing out of the ordinary, a large-scale riot broke out in an instant, was they too well hidden? Or was there negligence in the management of the expeditionary force?

In the current Luzon Island, although Su Dao did not dare to say that there were soldiers everywhere, as long as there were cities, there were troops, and the population was obviously reduced, and it was impossible for them not to notice it, and the signs after the riot also seemed to indicate a problem.

These people do not seem to be from within their jurisdiction, for the garrison of the expeditionary force in various places is not blind, nor is it a unified garrison, which dictates the number of troops that must be stationed in each place.

When the troops are stationed, the number of garrisons is determined according to the total number of local populations and geographical environment, and some large places even garrison a brigade, and some small places garrison a battalion, these are not fixed, and when judging, they basically reserve at least one company or more of mobile troops.

In other words, no matter what happens there, as long as there is no large influx of foreign population, the garrisons in various places can quickly control the local order.

But now the situation reported from the front line is completely inconsistent with their expectations, if it is just one place, but more than ten places are like this, which makes Su Dao have to think about it.

There was no report of the **, and no abnormalities were found, that is to say, these people are likely to be from areas where there is no garrison, and at the same time they are very clear about the dynamics of the garrison, so they can avoid the detection of the garrison in time and avoid any clues that may leak their whereabouts.

Although it sounded a little mysterious, Su Dao didn't seem to think of any better reason than this other reason.

Although someone can launch a riot in more than 10 places at the same time, but no one can quietly gather so many people and then launch a riot in more than 10 places at the same time.

Kaohsiung, Taiwan, military airfield.

Rows of transport planes are neatly parked on the runway, and refueling trucks are shuttled freely between the transport planes under the soldiers' **, constantly refueling each transport plane.

A paratrooper with his own equipment, endured that somewhat hungry stomach to board the plane, for them, there is nothing worse than a mission on Chinese New Year's Eve, and while they were eating, they had just drunk a sip of wine, and before they could even eat a bite of food, they received the assembly order.

"The 096 is ready and ready to board."

The ground crew quickly checked the plane, and the soldier who was refueling next to him also withdrew the fuel gun in his hand, and the ground crew leader reported to a sergeant.

Because the transport plane had already been checked when it landed, and when it was parked at the airport, there was a special person to guard it, and no one approached the transport plane at all, and this time the task was relatively urgent, and the order given by the superior was that it must take off within half an hour.

Therefore, the ground staff also quickly checked the transport plane, and some small places were just swept with a big eye, and no problems were directly ignored.

"The first shift is on the left, the second shift is on the right, board the plane!" ”

The sergeant nodded, returned a military salute to the ground crew, and then turned to look at the two squads behind him, and ordered.

Due to the special surname of this mission, it is impossible for the superiors to give them too much time to prepare, and the refueling truck also takes off from the back of the tank with a full tank without any stop.

From this, it can be seen that the emergency surname of this mission, and so far, except for the pilot, none of the rest knows their destination, except for the pilot, none of the rest knows their destination, even the pilot himself, except for the Philippines, does not know any other information, the Philippines is so big, where are they going?

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the two squads quickly lined up and boarded the transport plane, and then quickly sat down in their positions, their faces cold, and they did not see any thoughts.

However, in the hearts of these soldiers, there is a big doubt, what happened? Can they even throw Chinese New Year's Eve aside? And just now, before the meal, the battalion commander said that there was no task tonight, and everyone could drink a bowl of wine.

Who knew that as soon as the battalion commander's voice fell, the order of the mission came, and many people did not have time to eat, so they ran out pitifully after taking a sip of wine, and then they received ammunition, put on their own umbrella bags, and then got on the plane, the destination is unknown.

And this time the escort fighter is also more painful, when the transport plane takes off, there will be a short stay in the air, that is, a few minutes, when enough soldiers of a battalion are lifted into the air, and then they will form a formation and fly south, and the escort fighter is an F6F-5N.

Yes, there is only one escort fighter, and the transport aircraft he needs to protect are 26-30, and the Air Force really has no way to do it, and now at this big night, they don't have enough night fighters to escort them.

And this task is inevitable, and in desperation, they can only come up with this strange lineup, but fortunately, the US air base in the Philippines has basically been occupied, and they currently have no air power around the Philippines.

The reason why he only sent a night fighter to escort the escort was not really to let him protect these transport planes, but to use the radar on the night fighter to detect enemy planes within a certain radius, once an enemy plane was found, the night fighter would call for support, of course, whether the aircraft carrier combat squadron came to support or land-based that was not his business.

And the United States does not have a large number of night fighters now, and it is somewhat unlikely that they will be found.

"Lao Zhu, where are we going?"

Li Changjun unbuttoned the button on his helmet, glanced at the sergeant opposite, and asked suspiciously.

There are no officers on their transport plane, and the soldiers of the two squads are led by their respective squad leaders, and Lao Zhu's military rank is sergeant, and Li Changjun is a corporal, so at present, Lao Zhu is the highest commander of the paratroopers on this transport plane, so Li Changjun asked Lao Zhu about their destination, which is also in line with the rules.

"I don't know, the platoon commander said that the ground will inform us of the mission order through the radio of the transport plane later, I hope it will not be a drill, otherwise the good Chinese New Year's Eve meal will be delayed like this."

Lao Zhu shook his head and said with a wry smile.

He joined the army a month earlier than Li Changjun, so he was a little higher than Li Changjun in military rank, and the two of them were originally soldiers of the same squad, and after the expansion of the airborne division, their brigade was sent to Taiwan to form a new airborne division.

With the experience of the Dalian Campaign and the airborne landing on Jeju Island, Li Changjun was also promoted to corporal very smoothly when expanding the army, serving as the squad leader of the recruit unit, and was listed as the object of inspection, which is really happiness for soldiers who have just joined the army for less than half a year.

"Guys, here's your mission."

As soon as Lao Zhu's voice fell, the co-pilot of the transport plane got out of the cab at the nose, and in fact, only he could get out, the pilot naturally couldn't come out, and the rest of the crew members were gunners or something.

The co-pilot didn't say too much nonsense, and after reminding the paratroopers on the plane to pay attention to the order, he directly began to read the order he had just received.

"Your mission is to carry out the airborne landing about twenty kilometers west of Bayunbang, and you will be accompanied by the four battalions of your regiment, okay, let me explain the mission for you, first of all, you need to pay attention to the fact that the mission area you are waiting for is very important to us.

Because one-tenth of the military rations of the expeditionary force are produced here, and a Chinese in the mission area also sells us a lot of military rations at a low price, so far, nearly one-third of the military rations of the expeditionary force basically come from here.

This place is currently under siege by at least thousands of thugs, and the garrison in the manor is only a company of troops, and it is difficult for them to withstand the attacks of these mobs, so after you parachute out, you should assemble as soon as possible and find a way to meet them to ensure the safety of the manor.

Okay, you can rest a little bit, we'll be there in about an hour and a half. Good luck guys, and by the way, kill a few more enemies for us. (To be continued.) )
