At 2 o'clock in the morning, when the battle for the defense of Nanjing was in full swing, the first batch of officers and men of the 3rd Airborne Division flew to the sky over Suzhou in Area A.

Passing through thick clouds, the transporter began to pull away and at the same time descend in altitude. They had already been spotted by the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ground, and countless searchlights swept back and forth in the air, directing the anti-aircraft guns on the ground to fire into the air.

The dense artillery fire was like rising rain, and clouds of black smoke exploded in the air. Blue, green and red tracer bullets of 20 to 40 mm caliber pierced the night sky.

The air wave from the anti-aircraft shells made the flight of the plane unstable, and the plane jolted a few times, and the pilot struggled to control the plane from the turbulence. After a while, there was a sound like pebbles shaking in a tin can, and they knew that the plane had been hit by a shell.

The officers and men who were sitting in the engine room waiting to parachute jumped were worried that none of them wanted to be killed by the Japanese before they fell to the ground, and that it would be the worst loss for them to die like that.

But there are always bad things like this. Huang Zheng looked out through the round window, and not far away, a side-by-side Y-3 transport plane was hit by intensive artillery fire, black smoke rose from the propeller of the left wing, and then a fireball exploded from the tail of the plane. The plane lost its balance, and immediately dropped in altitude, and after a while the plane seemed to lose control and fell into the head.

More than 20 brothers died like this, and Huang Zheng couldn't help but have a cold sweat on his forehead. At this time, an anti-aircraft shell entered diagonally from the engine room, and the bomb passed through the steel plate of the engine room and hit a private who was sitting in that position.

His head exploded, and blood splattered everywhere. The officers and men in the cabin panicked when they saw it, and their restless mood suddenly reached its peak. They weren't all recruits, most of them were veterans of the battlefield, and they weren't afraid of death, but the fear of being at high made them restless.

Huang Zheng found out about this situation, in fact, he himself was nervous, not to mention that the current situation is very bad. He stood up and walked to the cockpit.

When he got to the cockpit door, he asked loudly, "How long do you have to skydive?" ”

The pilot, apparently not in this situation either, replied loudly: "A few more minutes!" It's not there yet......"

"Don't wait any longer, you won't be dead any longer! As soon as we jumped, you climbed back home! Huang Zheng also shouted loudly.

The pilot also panicked: "No! It has not yet reached the designated area. ”

"We'll all be done when we get to the designated area." As if to verify Huang Zheng's words, another anti-aircraft shell hit the wing of the plane, and a crackling sound was heard outside.

"What are you waiting for? Early skydiving was included in the original plan. Hurry up, or it'll be too late! Huang Zheng shouted loudly to the pilot.

The pilot saw all kinds of dense tracer bullets in the sky through the pilot's glass, and he simply turned on the warning light in the rear cabin and said: "Prepare to parachute!" ”

Toot toot! The warning red light turned on, and Huang Zheng came over and clapped his hands and shouted for everyone to stand up and prepare for action, when suddenly, the plane tilted suddenly, and the officers and soldiers who had just stood up almost fell down.

"Quick! Open the hatch! Huang yelled loudly into the pilot's cockpit.

The pilot couldn't care so much and quickly opened the hatch. Everyone started preparing again. After a while, the green light came on.

"Jump down in order, and after landing, set off to the intended destination, where we will assemble!" Huang Zheng shouted loudly, and the roar of the engine almost drowned out his shouting.

The officers and soldiers gathered up their calm mood and stood up, the cabin door opened, a cold wind poured in, Huang Zheng waved his hand and shouted, everyone walked to the cabin door in turn, and began to jump into the night sky one by one.

Huang was the last to parachute, when he walked to the hatch, he could see the tracer bullets of various colors flashing in the air like thin lines in the air, one by one paratroopers jumped down like blooming flowers, there is no doubt that the other transport planes also made a choice at this time, they also opened the hatch and began to parachute.

After jumping, Huang Zheng's body fell rapidly. He counted silently for a few seconds before opening his parachute.

When the parachute opened, his body was jerked upward, and he quickly resumed normal takeoff and landing. He tried to control the direction, but unfortunately at this time, a Hanyang-style* on his backpack fell.

They were carrying too much equipment, the weight was much higher than before, and the speed of descent began to increase, in addition to the whirring wind, he could also hear some sporadic gunfire in his ears, he looked down, the wind was blowing so hard that his eyes could only squint.

He could even see the white-housed and blue-tiled houses with Jiangnan characteristics on the ground, and the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions not far away were blazing.

Huang Zheng and his umbrella slowly descended, but fortunately, this was an open field, and he chose a good landing site. Huang Zheng began to adjust his posture to the ground, and after a while, he touched the ground.

When he touched the ground, gravity suddenly increased, and he almost fell on his heels, but fortunately the ground here was soft.

After packing up the parachute for landing and counting the weapons and equipment, Huang Zheng began to observe the surrounding environment. It seems to be a suburb of Suzhou, surrounded by a few houses, and there is a small stream not far from where he landed, and the side of the stream is covered with reeds.

It seemed that there should still be some distance from their destination, and according to the previous sailing direction, they should continue to travel in the southwest direction, Huang Zheng took out a compass attached to his collar, determined the direction and began to prepare his own direction of travel.

But to make sure nothing goes wrong, he'll have to figure out where it is. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of Suosuo's footsteps in front of him.

"Japanese soldiers?!" A thought popped up in Huang Zheng's heart, he touched his waist, took out the only pistol on his body and pushed it into loading, and then found a reed bush next to him and hid it.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and when Huang Zheng took out the signaler and was about to send a signal, he saw three people with rifles walking over.

The three men, dressed in military uniforms and wearing steel helmets on their heads, marched forward in a triangular formation. However, the three of them did not walk vigorously, and when they walked, they did not look like well-trained soldiers.

As they watched, the three men spoke.

"What's going on? I just saw that it fell here, and in a blink of an eye, the person was gone. "It's the words of the Humpty Dumpty man who walked in the middle.

"Momma! Look closely and see if this guy can't run away. If you catch the Japanese Naga, you can at least exchange it for a few hundred oceans. "It's the tall, skinny guy on the left, and the accent doesn't look like a local.

They all speak Chinese? Huang Zheng had a rough idea in his heart, thinking that these people should be the puppet army of Wang's puppet regime. After the establishment of Wang's puppet regime in Shanghai, a set of decent government institutions were also erected, and naturally the army was indispensable.

The Japanese army incorporated a large number of surrendered troops in the occupied areas, and requisitioned a large number of young and middle-aged people to enrich the ranks of the puppet army, so in less than two years, the Wang puppet regime organized 13 infantry divisions and a huge puppet army of hundreds of thousands of people.

Because the composition of the officers and soldiers of the puppet army is either honest people who are forced to serve as soldiers in desperation, or they are ruffians and hooligans who want to eat, or they are traitor officers who have milk and mothers, so the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not very good.

No matter how good the combat effectiveness is, the other party is also three people. Damn, I'm really good enough to carry it, and I landed in a place where there are enemy troops, which means that there are puppet army troops stationed here.

There are three people on the other side, and they are all spears, and it is definitely not possible to fight them with a pistol by themselves, but it is not a way to hide like this, since they have already seen themselves land here, they will definitely not go back if they can't find anyone.

Huang Zheng's heart was unprecedentedly nervous. The palms of his grips on the handle were already soaked with sweat.

"Don't think about it, kill one and count one, even if you go to the death, you have to give it a try." Huang Zheng clenched the pistol in his hand and pulled out another * from his waist. He estimated the distance between the two sides, and if he shot at the same time when he threw *, he felt that although it was unlikely, it was possible to kill them.

Huang Zheng took a deep breath and said just do it!

The footsteps of the three people were getting closer and closer, and when they were about to enter their range, suddenly, there was a clattering sound, and at the same time as the gunshots rang out, the three puppet soldiers fell down. At this time, two people in the same outfit as him walked over from behind.

Tick tick! Huang Zheng pressed his own signal, and the other party responded quickly.

It's your own people! Huang Zheng got out of the reeds and ran towards the other party. The other party also ran towards her, two airborne troops.

"Captain!" A soldier with a * shouted with a smile.

Huang Zheng looked at it, and it turned out to be Zhu Fucai, the platoon commander of the first platoon of the third company, and the soldier of the fifth company with him*.

The three of them chatted in a low voice before they found out that they had all landed near here, and Zhu Fucai found * and prepared to march towards the assembly point in the direction of the compass, but he didn't expect to encounter a few puppet soldiers. They knew that they wouldn't be able to get over if they didn't kill them, so they simply picked them up* and gave them a shuttle.

Huang Zheng smiled: "Good boy, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'm going to die with those devils." You see, I* have pulled out the safety pins. ”

After a few words of chatter, the three of them began to march in the predetermined direction towards the assembly point. Huang Zheng roughly judged the distance, and knew that there was still some distance from the destination, and they had to set off quickly.
