Chapter 396: Divine Soldiers from the Sky
It is not the first time that the Wehrmacht has cooperated with the Iron Army, Lin Yangchun is very relieved about this, and he is not hypocritical and directly introduced: "Recently, I have been putting pressure on the Cossack Army, forcing them to increase their troops, and they have increased their troops twice in the past week, I think their rear is already very empty, so I hope you can parachute here." Lin Yangchun pointed to the map with his hand, which was a sign of a big city.
"Katerinburg?" Xu Xiangnan was surprised: "Chief, do you want us to cut off the connection between the east and west of the Cossack army, and trap all the Cossack troops in the Central and Eastern Continents here?" ”
Lin Yangchun nodded: "That's right, occupying this place can cut off the reinforcements of the Western Continent, and it can also make the Cossack Army's Central Continent army lose most of its supplies, and cause panic in their military hearts." However, this is a very dangerous task, and you will have to hold Katerinburg for ten days without any heavy fire support, waiting for the arrival of our large forces. In the meantime you will be surrounded by a lot of enemies from both sides of the east and west, and you will have to hold there so that not a single soldier of the Cossacks passes, is there a problem? ”
Xu Xiangnan said: "There is no problem, on the first day of our army, His Majesty gave us a sentence: 'Paratroopers are born to be surrounded.'" We are not afraid of being surrounded, and we will be able to hold our ground. ”
Lin Yangchun nodded: "Okay, you have a day off, and you will set off tomorrow night, and I will let the bomber force send you over." Xu Xiangnan nodded, saluted and walked out.
Gao Deyu walked over and sighed, "Commander, your tactics are too risky. ”
Lin Yangchun said: "In the current form, we have to take risks, we have to quickly defeat the Cossack army, and then we can increase troops to other battlefields as soon as possible to maximize national interests." ”
Gao Deyu sighed and said: "I used to think that the Cossack army was quite easy to fight, why is it so difficult to gnaw now." ”
Lin Yangchun said: "In the past, we relied on the sufficient supply of materials and the lack of supplies to fight others, but now they are fighting on the inside line, with the support of the Far Eastern Railway, there is no shortage of materials, and the combat effectiveness is naturally strong." What's more, everyone was rookie back then, but now they have all fought in the Western Continent for a few years, and there are many veterans. Unlike us, who haven't fought for a few years, the Guards are fine, but the Wehrmacht is already recruits, and they still need a certain period of adaptation. ”
Gao Deyu nodded: "I hope they grow up quickly, so that we can win as soon as possible." ”
Within a few days, the air force of the Chinese army suddenly intensified its bombardment of the transportation hubs and logistics bases in the rear of the Cossack army, so that the logistics supply of the Cossack army was frequently urgent, but fortunately, they were prepared and hoarded a large amount of supplies on the front line, which was enough for them to cope with it for a long time.
In the evening, hundreds of bombers took off from dozens of airfields, each towing a glider behind it. Since the Chinese army's specialized transport planes have not yet been successfully developed, all bombers had to be urgently modified to sit on a small scale, dismantle the bombers, and increase the seat plates, so that they can deliver more paratroopers.
With the help of hundreds of bombers and a large number of gliders, a division of the Third Army of the Iron Army can finally be delivered to the target location, which is already the limit of the Chinese army's long-range delivery.
All the bombers assembled in the predetermined airspace, in order to let these bombers recognize the target, the assembly area was deliberately selected far from the front line, a large number of bonfires were burned on the ground for guidance, and after the assembly, the bomber group began to fly north. Night flights are very easy to get lost in the absence of a reference, and the Chinese army is also prepared for this.
The new radar system was installed on three bombers with the first head, which were specially modified Kunpeng 1B radar aircraft, and because the radar size was still too large, these three aircraft were fully loaded with radar. With these three Kunpeng 1B radar planes to find the way, all the bombers only need to rely on the tail lights of the aircraft in front of them and the airborne short-range radios, so that a bomber formation will drive mightily towards the hinterland of the Cossack Empire.
After a three-hour flight, the bomber group had approached the target area, all the bombers began to release the gliders, one by one gliders circled under the careful operation of the only member above, slowly descended in altitude, and when they were about to approach the ground, the operator carefully mastered the balance and let the glider glide smoothly on the grass to land.
The bombers who released the glider rose to an altitude of 1,200 meters, the parachute indicators in the cabin turned green one after another, the soldiers of the Predator Army who had received permission opened the hatch, the hook of the parachute hung on the railing of the cabin opening, and one soldier jumped down and jumped out of the hatch.
The violent air flow in the air was raging, blowing the military uniforms on the soldiers' hunting sound, and when they went out of the cabin, the hook of the parachute was pulled on the railing, and the parachute behind them was immediately opened, and the auxiliary parachute floated out one by one, and soon the main parachute was also pulled out, and the whole sky was immediately shrouded in white umbrella flowers.
The paratroopers struggled to control the parachute lines in their hands so that they did not get too far from the landing site. The parachutes landed slowly, and after those gliders landed smoothly, they also landed safely on the ground.
Throwing away the parachute, the fighters quickly ran to the glider, which had already landed, and quickly took out the weapons carried on it. Xu Xiangnan also landed smoothly on the open grass, skillfully rolled up the parachute, and he took out his pistol to observe the situation.
"Commander." Several soldiers cautiously ran over: "We have gathered a few hundred people, the commander will come with us." ”
Xu Xiangnan nodded: "Okay, where are the people?" ”
One soldier said: "There are a few gliders nearby, they have gone to get weapons." ”
The Predator's parachuting skills are still very good, and there is no wind tonight, so most of the people are gathered together, and the gliders have special pilots, so the landing points are relatively concentrated, and the ammunition on these gliders is quickly collected by the paratroopers, especially a large number of bazookas are distributed.
"Commander, the people from our staff have arrived." Deng Hua, chief of staff of the army, walked over and said.
Xu Xiangnan nodded: "Take the map, let's figure out the direction first, and then immediately advance towards Katerinburg, only before the enemy reacts, we can have hope of victory by occupying it." ”
In order not to expose the target, several staff officers opened the military blanket and formed a circle, Xu Xiangnan looked at the map with a flashlight in the middle: "At present, we are here, as long as we walk three kilometers to the west, we can see Katerinburg, order the troops to act immediately, leaving only the containment team to continue to search for the soldiers who have fallen behind." "As soon as the order was given, the fighters organized themselves and quickly advanced westward.
Katerinburg is located in the heart of the Cossack Empire, and it is also nearly seven hundred kilometers away from the nearest front line, so the garrison here is very low, in their opinion, such a long distance, even if the front line Cossack army is completely defeated, there is at least half a month to retreat, so the defense here is useless, except for a few symbolic sentry posts, there are not even a few people in the position, most of the soldiers and officers go to the city to have fun, and they will not return to the barracks until late at night.
The paratrooper soldiers of the Chinese army were lurking a kilometer away from the opponent's position at the moment, Xu Xiangnan raised his binoculars, and carefully scanned the enemy position opposite by the flickering light of the few torches on the opposite position, and then said in a low voice: "The special brigade will go first and solve all the sentry posts on the opposite side." ”
After receiving the order, the special forces of the Special Brigade of the Third Army of the Iron and Blood Army divided into groups of two and covertly touched the position, and twenty minutes later, a whistle sounded on the position, which was a signal that the special brigade had completely solved the opponent's sentry.
Xu Xiangnan waved his hand, and led the team to rush into the opponent's position at a very fast speed, and then left some people to garrison the position, and the other soldiers began to secretly touch the edge of the city, the special brigade was still in the lead, and the sentry posts on the road were easily taken by them, and the troops quickly broke into the city and immediately rushed to various critical places.
"Bastard, you kid is out of a thousand." A division commander of the Cossack corps was sitting at the gaming table with a cigarette in his mouth open, playing cards, while he pointed at his nose and scolded a commander of another division.
The regiment commander smiled and said, "General Akarev, this is your mistake, if you are willing to gamble and lose, how can you play Laipi." ”
Akarev said: "What? You don't admit it, it must have been you who made a thousand just now, otherwise why would you win every time. ”
The head of the regiment smiled: "What's this, my skills are high, this poker is different from roulette, it all depends on luck, this requires skill." Before Akarev could refute, the door of the casino was suddenly kicked open, and a group of soldiers dressed in fancy uniforms and loaded guns quickly rushed into the casino and forced the officers with guns.
Division Commander Aralev, who was already a little irritable from the loss, quit, and he scolded and walked out of the crowd and said: "I am Akarev Division Commander, which unit are you from, why are you so rude." "These Cossack soldiers didn't expect that the Chinese army would come to such a large rear, and they thought that some of the newly transferred troops did not understand the rules.
A major who knew Aberdeen came out, looked Akalev up and down, and when he saw his major general's epaulettes, the major smiled: "I didn't expect a big fish to come to the door, and now I am going to be developed." After speaking, he walked over directly, raised his pistol against the other party's head and said, "Come with me." ”
Seeing the other party's loaded pistol against his head, Akarev's tone immediately softened: "It's all your own people, don't get me wrong, which unit are you from?" ”
The major smiled and said in Aberdeen: "No misunderstanding, I am not my own person with you, we are from the Chinese Imperial Army." ”
