Two Y-2 transport planes, escorted by several "Lightning" fighters, flew towards the northeast in accordance with the coordinate directions. According to the scheduled flight plan, they will arrive at the predetermined position in the evening and then make their first actual combat airborne landing.

Commander Tan Minhai sat in the cabin, playing with the saber in his hand from time to time; He and Han Guang flew in two planes separately in order to avoid a situation where one was shot down and there was no one to command.

Tan Minhai glanced at the brothers sitting on both sides of the cabin, they were all top players drawn from various units, and they had all fought and seen blood, and they were not the eldest girls in the sedan chair for a long time, so they were not as nervous as recruits and didn't know what to do.

However, from their expressions and movements, Tan Minhai could still feel the nervousness of these people. A few soldiers were smoking, and the soot was spilled all over their bodies because of the shaking of the plane; More people sat there in a daze, listening to the roaring sound of the machine.

To be honest, Tan Minhai's heart was also a little nervous, although he had participated in many actual battles in the First Army before, it was the first time that he had jumped from the sky to go behind enemy lines like this.

Tan Minhai remembered the scene when the division commander talked to him a year ago, and the division commander told him that the Ministry of National Defense was going to select and set up a paratrooper unit, which was an absolute secret, and the division headquarters decided to recommend him to give it a try.

As a young officer who has studied abroad, Tan Minhai has naturally continued to explore the mode of future warfare, and he has heard of this combat mode of paratroopers, which can really be said to be "soldiers from heaven descending from heaven".

So without waiting for the division commander to ask him what he thought, Tan Minhai said that he was willing to go to the selection.

Subsequently, Tan Minhai was transferred from the battlefield and took a train to the Special Training Department of the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing to report. After reporting in Nanjing, they got into a military truck and began to walk aimlessly.

After a few hours, the car finally stopped.

They arrived at a remote camping place, and they didn't know the specific location here, but they remembered that it seemed to be the boundary of Suzhou and Anhui. By that time, there were already hundreds of people like them in the training ground.

For more than a month, they were organized into several detachments for physical fitness, shooting, fighting, piloting, and other training, but they just couldn't see the shadow of the plane.

After layers of selection and training again and again, half of the hundreds of people were finally eliminated. Only the lucky ones will have the opportunity to board the aircraft for parachute training.

Tan Minhai remembered that when he was the acting captain of the parachute training for the first time, he was the first to jump down, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart, but he couldn't help it.

After standing up the hook, the green light came on, and he jumped down as soon as he closed his eyes, and then pulled open the umbrella bag, and the speed of descent began to slow down.

Tan Minhai enjoyed the feeling, and he has fallen in love with skydiving ever since.

Later, the paratrooper special brigade was formally established, and Tan Minhai was appointed as the first captain by virtue of his high academic qualifications, military literacy, and comprehensive evaluation of combat command.

These are not enough to excite Tan Minhai, because before he was transferred, he was a lieutenant colonel and deputy commander of the First Army, and now he is just a horizontal transfer, but what he would not have imagined is that his name will go down in the history of the Chinese army, because he is the first officially appointed commander of the Chinese paratrooper special forces.

Of course, this will require him to take the necessary responsibility for this honor.

Luo Zihui, the leader of the first detachment, handed him a cigarette, Tan Minhai has never smoked, he smiled and waved his hand to refuse. Luo Zihui lit one by himself and sucked it slowly.

Knock knock! Clouds of black smoke exploded around the plane, and it was clear that it was the Japanese air defense forces firing. Tan Minhai's heart couldn't help but pinch again.

The sky was gradually getting dark, Tan Minhai raised his hand to look at his watch, it was almost time to arrive. He looked at the indicator light near the cockpit, and sure enough, the red light came on in a few moments.

Tan Minhai stood up, he made a gesture and shouted at everyone, "Stand up!" ”

The team members stood up and checked their gear from back to front, then patted each other on the shoulders of the person in front of them. When Tan Minhai is checked, it means that everyone has completed the equipment inspection and can already parachute.

The hatch slowly opened, a cool breeze rushed towards him, standing at the door of the cabin, Tan Minhai looked at the Qilu land hidden in the dark curtain below, and the green appearance was very good-looking.

Toot toot!

The green light indicating that parachute was possible, accompanied by the jump of the first soldier, and the other officers and soldiers jumped in turn. The plane where Han Guang was also parachuted in, and white flowers bloomed in the sky.

At this time, the Japanese anti-aircraft fire on the ground was even more intense, and the officers and men who had descended could even feel the air waves of exploding shells, and tracer shells and searchlights were constantly interacting back and forth, and some soldiers were hit by anti-aircraft artillery fire before they landed on the ground, and some parachutes were hit and dropped sharply, and the end can be imagined at a height of several hundred meters.

More people descended to the ground, and Tan Minhai cut the parachute rope after descending to the ground, and after packing the parachute, he began to contact the officers and soldiers with the predetermined code. This is a plain area, the surrounding view is wide, and in less than a moment, dozens of team members have gathered.

"Raise your guard and watch out for the Japanese army!" Tan Minhai ordered, and several soldiers began to deploy around with guns. "Did you see Vice Captain Han Guang?"

No one answered his question, and I don't know where the deputy captain Han Guang and the others are now? Anything can happen when parachuting, especially when landing in the enemy's hinterland, so they must be prepared for all kinds of situations.

According to the prior agreement, when the troops gather more than one combat detachment, that is, 30 people, they do not need to continue to liaise, and the commander can carry out operational deployment.

Tan Minhai counted it, and there were 35 people here now, which meant that they could already prepare for action.

"Bring me the map, and I'll fix the location." After Tan Minhai observed the surrounding landmark geography, he took the compass and began to locate it.

The situation is not optimistic, this is still more than ten miles away from the destination, they must get there that night, and use special operations to kill most of them and carry out retaliatory operations.

Just as they were about to act, several more fighters sent a contact signal, and after a while, they gathered dozens of more people.

Tan Minhai felt a little more confident in his heart.

After a few miles of marching, it became closer and closer to the town where the headquarters of the Japanese Kawasaki Brigade was stationed. Suddenly, a rush of gunfire was heard in the distance.

The gunfire became more and more intense, clearly the sound of an exchange of fire. All the officers and soldiers moved into the combat position, and Tan Minhai took out his binoculars and looked at the firefight.

"Head, I sound like our people, there are gunshots from the 38 big covers and crooked handles, and the gunshots of our Hanyang style and little buffalo*." Luo Zihui leaned over and said.

Tan Minhai put down the binoculars, waved his hand and lowered his voice: "Lu Liang, take a few people over to have a look." ”

"Yes!" Lu Liang lowered his voice, led a few sharp soldiers to hook his waist and led people to the front, and after a few minutes, the dense gunfire gradually thinned out, and then simply stopped.

Everyone did not know what was going on, but the officers and men were on high alert, and they kept the formation of the battle defense unchanged.

Suoso's footsteps began to be heard, getting louder and louder from the direction he had just been.

"Password!" A spearhead here shouted over there.

"Anti-Japanese! Repatriation. The other party replied.

"Kill!" As soon as this side responded, I saw a group of officers and soldiers wearing army green camouflage uniforms coming from the exchange of fire just now.

"Han Guang, it's finally here." Tan Minhai said with a smile.

Han Guang also smiled, he pointed to the brothers behind him and said, "Head, all forty-one people, I asked Lu Liang just now, except for the few sacrifices in our team, now the assembly is completed." ”

"Well done!" Tan Minhai punched him, and he continued, "What happened just now? Let the devil bite? ”

"Yes, after the team converged, I met a few devil patrols, but I didn't expect that there was a squad stationed nearby, and there was a crooked handle, but we were all reimbursed." As he spoke, he patted his sniper rifle, and Tan Minhai noticed that there were a few more new marks on it, and it seemed that he had killed a lot just now.

Without further ado, Han Kwang left to report that he had just met a local, who said that the command post of the Kawasaki Brigade was no longer in the town and that they had moved away yesterday.

Saying that, Han Guang asked someone to bring an uncle over. The uncle looked a little frightened, and he said in Shandong: "Sir, little Japan moved away last night and went west, and their soldiers passed one cart after another, and it is estimated that they are going to Jinan Mansion." ”

Tan Minhai looked at the uncle, it was obvious that he was dressed as a standard peasant, and his hands full of calluses could prove it.

Tan Minhai set his eyes on Han Guang, and that look meant to ask where did he meet this old man?

Han Guang naturally understood what he meant, and he added that when he landed, he went astray because of the wind. It was the uncle who helped him hide from the Japanese soldiers, and the uncle said that there was no need to be afraid, now the devils are starting to go west, and the devils of this squad will leave tomorrow, and the other troops will have already left, and it will be fine after tomorrow.

"I thought this information was very valuable, so I invited the uncle over." Han Guang said again: "I just investigated, and what the uncle said is basically true. ”

Hearing Han Guang's words, Tan Minhai couldn't help frowning, the information on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the various combat modes that have been set before are likely to change greatly, and this time is also the time to test how a commander decides.

"Let's go ahead." Tan Minhai decided to take the troops to the village just now, which is the place where the fire was exchanged. At the same time, he also sent people to the town to investigate.
