"This is no ordinary air raid, it's paratroopers!" Zheng Weiguo frowned, and the expression on his face was shocked, as if he had encountered something extremely terrible.

Chief of Staff Zhou was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Military seat, is the little devil trying to use the airborne troops to seize the ferry and cut off the rear road of our army?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Not bad!" According to Commander Xu's report, the Japanese army has a very large number of paratroopers and is very strong in combat, so he asked us to reinforce them immediately. At this point, he seemed to remember something, and a look of horror suddenly flashed in his eyes.

When Chief of Staff Zhou saw it in his eyes, he couldn't help but be a little frightened. As a good man with iron bones, pure masters, no matter how hard it is, Zheng Weiguo has always been brave and tenacious, and has never flinched.

In the minds of the officers and men of the 97th Army, Zheng Weiguo is a big mountain, an optimus prime that can be relied on. As long as there are military seats, no hardship or obstacle can stop them from moving forward.

But this time, Chief of Staff Zhou obviously felt that he was afraid. Will a person like him be scared sometimes? What exactly was he afraid of, was he a paratrooper of the Japanese army? So, how terrible is this paratrooper unit?

On the south bank of the Yellow River, Chen Liukou, the position of the 97th Army. The bodies of the martyrs had just been buried, and when the great war came, everything was simple and could only be hastily buried. The ancient poem said well, Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned.

Originally, the battlefield is the best destination for soldiers, and it is even more glorious to sacrifice one's life for the country, and there is no need to be sad. But just a few hours ago, they were living people, but now they have turned into piles of loess. They will never see their parents, wives and children again. Some of the fighters remembered the friendship of the past and couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Xu Mingshan's head of the regiment widened his eyes angrily, and shouted and scolded: "Don't fucking squeeze cat urine, our Northeast masters bleed without tears, don't embarrass Lao Tzu like a girl." ”

The deputy head of the regiment also stood on the stage and shouted: "Cry, what's the use of crying!" Can it be exchanged for the dead brethren? It's the master's, just wipe the cat urine for Lao Tzu to dry, and then you will meet the devil and do it with real knives and guns, and avenge the brothers! ”

The warriors raised their weapons and shouted one after another: "Revenge." Avenge! ”

Commander Xu took out the box cannon on his waist again. He fired a shot at the sky and said, "The heroic spirits are not far away, may they bless me with the spirit of heaven and drive away the Japanese invaders as soon as possible." Warning shots! ”

Woohoo Woo ...... The fighters raised their steel guns and fired into the air. In this unique way of soldiers, I send my condolences to my comrades-in-arms. Then wipe away your tears. Get back into your busy work. The positions need to be repaired and reinforced, and the materials that have been saved by luck need to be transferred quickly. Hey, there's not much time on the battlefield to be sad.

It's almost finished. Suddenly, woo...... There was another terrifying roar - the Japanese plane, which had just left, reappeared in the sky again. Everyone looked at the sky with a sad and angry face, just waiting for an order to fight to the death with the devil.

Xu Mingshan gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, the little devil is really too deceitful." I'll see everything, and when the enemy plane dives, I'll hit it hard! ”

The warriors answered, and they all clenched their guns. The eyes of hatred are fixed in the sky, and if these eyes can be gathered to one point, they will definitely melt the enemy plane.

After a while, the Japanese planes still circled in the air, but they did not drop bombs. The fighters could not help but begin to whisper, guessing the true intentions of the enemy.

Xu Mingshan looked at the sky suspiciously, and found that several planes were very large, not like reconnaissance planes or fighter planes. However, he could not identify the model of the aircraft, and could only look at the approximation.

Suddenly, a soldier pointed into the air and exclaimed: "Look, look at the little devil throwing something down!" ”

Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, a parachute was slowly falling. Immediately after, more parachutes floated down. The umbrella cloth is all white. Looking at it from a distance, there is a large field of white flowers, covering half of the sky.

An officer said: "Tuanza, did the little devil make a mistake, how did he airdrop supplies here?" ”

Xu Mingshan rubbed his eyes and didn't make a sound, because he felt that there seemed to be a person hanging under the umbrella.

Sure enough, several officers who were observing with binoculars immediately exclaimed: "Oh no, Tuanza, the devil has airdropped people." ”

Xu Mingshan graduated from the Northeast Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and knew that there was such a thing as an airborne soldier, so he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Machine gun preparation, that's the airborne troops of the little devils, kill them, and avenge the deputy seat and the dead brothers." ”

Da Da Da ...... The soldiers were looking happy, but as soon as they heard that it was a little devil who fell from the sky, they immediately blew up the nest.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese army quickly arrived with reinforcements and bombarded the positions of the 97th Army. It seems that they want to drag the fighters to their positions and buy time for the airborne troops to land and assemble.

Commander Xu knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked the communications team to get in touch with the military headquarters and asked for reinforcements immediately.

"Chief of Staff, which unit is closest to the ferry?" Zheng Weiguo felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and a strong pressure instantly dispelled the haze that permeated his heart, allowing him to quickly regain his former composure.

Chief of Staff Zhou thought for a moment and said, "It should be Zhang Changgui's special service battalion." That's right, it's them! ”

Zheng Weiguo suddenly made up his mind and said, "Okay, I'm relieved to have them." You get in touch with the special battalion right away, and I'm going to give the order myself. ”

After the special battalion assisted the 35th Brigade to take Xinxiangcheng, it has been staying on the north bank for activities, mainly used to clean up the small infiltration troops of the Japanese army and the landlords who are bent on being traitors. After that, the 35th Brigade was ordered to move eastward, and the special service battalion also rushed to the eastern front to fight, and the main task was to deal with Japanese scouts and plainclothes agents.

At noon today, the military headquarters gave the order for a general retreat. The special service battalion rushed back without stopping, and was ordered to protect the security of the logistics organs of the headquarters. It's a bit of a pity to use such an elite as an internal security force, but Zheng Weiguo really can't draw more troops. After all, to carry out such a task, it must be absolutely reliable, and not all troops can do it.

"Throne. Is there a new mission? Zhang Changgui tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, but his voice was still a little trembling. He and his subordinates have always been eager to call for wind and rain on the battlefield like a real special forces, but the quality of equipment and soldiers is not up to standard, and they can only do chores, and there are few opportunities for glory.

Zheng Weiguo snorted and said, "I originally planned to send you, but I see that your mentality is unstable, so let's send other troops!" ”

"Don't, don't, don't. Military seat. I've steadied, really steady! Zhang Changgui was busy swearing on the other end of the phone to promise to complete the task, although he didn't know what the task was.

Zheng Weiguo said solemnly: "Okay. I don't have time to ramble with you! The Japanese sent a paratrooper unit to surprise the ferry. The exact number of troops is unknown. You immediately lead your troops to the ferry for reinforcements. Remember, this is a mysterious force that should not be underestimated! ”

Zhang Changgui was taken aback. Busy said: "Junzao, don't worry, even the Japanese emperor's guards will be exterminated for him!" ”

In 1938, there were no decent special forces, but there were some units with special forces potential, and their concepts were very similar. For example, the Marine Corps, the Army Mountain Troops, Airborne (including parachute and airborne) units, and the assault engineers of Germany and the Soviet Union. Among them, the closest to the special forces is the airborne troops, and their combat methods are quite similar to those of the special forces in the 21st century.

This knowledge was taught by Zheng Weiguo when he was studying the special forces course. A strong battle intent quickly surged in his chest. And what about the closest special forces? Our spy battalion will blow you up like that! The 97th Army Special Service Battalion is the strongest special forces in this era.

Compared with Zhang Changgui's confidence, Zheng Weiguo was a little panicked. Yes, he did feel scared, but this was not cowardice, but a kind of concern for his subordinates, for the nation, and for the motherland. He feared that he would lose them, and he was even more afraid of being hurt by them because of his own mistakes.

Chief of Staff Zhou made a hot cup and handed it over, and said with concern: "Junzao, don't be too anxious, Zhang Changgui will handle it." Then he asked curiously: "Are the Japanese paratroopers you just said very powerful?" ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not necessarily amazing, it's just that it came too suddenly, and it made my heart feel like a drum." ”

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded to express his deep sympathy, and said: "Yes, the little devil's hand is quite ruthless, and he will go straight to the heart of our army with one knife." This is obviously to catch us off guard, but fortunately, we are now retreating west along the south bank, and Chen Liukou will not matter even if he loses it! ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "Well, I'm not worried about this, but...... Forget it, let's talk about it after this battle! He hesitated, but still did not tell the truth.

What he was worried about was not paratroopers, and in this kind of large corps operation, one or two elite troops would not change the overall situation. But the problem is that, as far as he knows, the Japanese army did not have a paratrooper unit at all in 1938. They were not until November 1940, when they were beginning to form the so-called "Parachute Force."

Historically, Japan did not attach much importance to paratroopers and corresponding skills, and they were not developed for a long time. It was not until 1939 that the German paratroopers shone on the European battlefield and achieved astonishing results. The Japanese woke up from a dream and began to form paratrooper units in a hurry.

However, they did not have the relevant skills and experience, and they were busy until November 1940, when the first paratrooper unit was formed. The Japanese called it the "Drop Umbrella" unit, which had high hopes and was attached to the Army Air Corps and the Marine Corps as a special branch of the army. However, due to the backwardness of military thinking and equipment, airborne training has always stayed at basic training such as primitive tower jumping, and the focus of paratrooper tactical training is still on infantry shooting and assassination.

Seeing that the road of independent development did not work, the Japanese had to turn to their allies the Germans for help, but the Mustachioed Führer somehow refused to provide them with advanced airborne equipment. In order to enable the airborne troops to meet the requirements for use at an early date, Japan carried forward its glorious tradition of being thick-skinned and asked Germany for assistance in one place and in another. It was soft and hard until September 1941, when the mustache finally relented.

After receiving the advanced airborne equipment imported from Germany, the Japanese Army's airborne troops were finally able to conduct airborne training in the true sense of the word. However, in the subsequent live exercises, the Japanese Army's airborne troops suffered a lot of losses due to the poor quality of training and the inability to keep up with the overall coordination. It was only at the beginning of 1942 that combat effectiveness was barely formed.

It's only 1938 now, and what is the origin of this paratrooper unit that suddenly appeared? How is the combat effectiveness? Zheng Weiguo didn't have any bottom in his heart.

For a traverser, the greatest advantage is to know the direction of the history of the Dao, and the biggest danger is to have unpredictable changes. Originally, I was fighting monsters to earn experience, but I accidentally triggered a hidden mission and brushed out an ultimate boss, isn't this killing people? (To be continued......)
