Chapter 928: Airborne
Everyone read the information one by one.
There is not a lot of information given to them, but it contains a detailed map of the city and its surroundings, and it indicates the location of the base camp where the Chinese and Japanese troops are temporarily stationed, the current division of forces between the two sides, the battle situation, and the identities of the officers of the various strata of the other side have been discovered.
In such a close battle, it is not particularly difficult to grasp the information of the other party's high-level officers, but this information can also prove how important the battle situation here is in the eyes of General Wang.
That's right, as you can see from the map, this place is just northeast of the Sixth Theater of Operations, right next to the edge of the Fifth Theater. It is surrounded by mostly plain terrain and has very little road and rail network, so it is not a major transportation route, and even the time and distance to get to some places from here will be even greater, and there are no special veins nearby, so it can be said that it is "barren".
This made this place less important in the eyes of the Japanese army, at least compared to the Sixth War Zone, the location of such a city was not a big problem at all. But if you look at the map carefully, you can find that Beiheng City, which is close to the Fifth War Zone, is almost equivalent to a gate on the side of the Fifth War Zone.
The defense line of the Fifth Theater is only 400 kilometers away from Beiheng City, and there are almost no obstacles in between, all of which are plains. If the city had belonged to the Japanese army, the pressure on the right flank of the 5th theater would have been much greater.
The distance is too close, even if the artillery units are placed directly in the city, as long as the weapons are strong enough, they can directly bombard the defense line and the joint defense city of the fifth theater. If you think about it this way, the value of this city is not what you thought before.
Just the Japanese army had a lot of troops in the front of the Fifth Theater of Operations in a stalemate and fighting. The two sides held each other back, so that no one could get out of the war zone. And the Japanese troops before the Sixth Theater of Operations are now aiming at the enemy in front of them, which makes everyone ignore the city at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally.
And General Wang, who is in charge of the gap in the war zone, this place is a key location.
General Wang's purpose. It is to drive out the Japanese troops who have already entered the city and completely occupy the city of Beiheng. If it doesn't work, at least you have to defend until the first, and after the adjustment of the second and eighth theaters is completed, you will begin to divide your troops. At that time, the weak fighting in the various war zones, especially the sixth station area, will begin to ease, and then the pressure on Beiheng City will become less and less, and even retreat directly. It won't have much of an impact on the tide of battle on either side.
But at present, this position is a hidden and important strategic position, and it must not be lost, even if it is impossible to drive the enemy away or annihilate, and it must not be driven out of the city by the enemy, otherwise what kind of butterfly effect will appear in the future, General Wang can't even think about it.
Zhang Tianhai and others also more or less saw some problems and communicated with each other. After identifying some issues and plans, the meeting was adjourned.
Except for Yang Hao and Mu Xi. The rest of the people have basically carried out this type of annihilation mission in the past few days, and it can be said that they are already familiar with it. And Yang Hao and Mu Xi are not novices, as long as they talk about it, they will soon be able to know everyone's intentions after watching the previous paragraph on the battlefield, so they don't need to deliberately explain.
The departure time is tomorrow. It seems to be more urgent. However, everyone's equipment has already been prepared, and what they have to do now is to remove or add some other things for their own action plan, and the preparation will be perfect.
The next morning. All of them were fully armed and did not go to the barracks, but went directly to the airport.
The airfield in Beiheng City has been occupied by the Japanese army, and it is impossible to land, and there is no airfield to go to other places nearby, if it is transported by helicopter, then it will never come back, and the route will pass through the battlefield, and it is easy to be directly blown into a fireball by a missile. So if you want to get to Beiheng City quickly, the best way is to parachute.
The Black Sabres need this way to quickly reach Beiheng City, so that if they follow the line, they will appear in the barracks of the Chinese troops in Beiheng City in four hours at the latest, and they can enter the city to fight before the evening of the same day.
When I arrived at the airport, I saw a large transport plane already waiting on the runway, and a group of soldiers waiting next to it, and General Wang was standing in front of them, talking something.
Zhang Tianhai and the others approached and stood not far away. After General Wang finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, all the soldiers saluted in unison, and then boarded the transport plane one after another.
General Wang walked over and smiled: "These people are all on the way with you this time, and their destinations are all Beiheng City." Once you've landed, it's best if you can help each other. The mission has made it very clear to you, don't let me down. ”
"Rest assured, the mission is guaranteed." Zhang Tianhai said.
General Wang nodded: "Let's board the plane, the plane will take off in ten minutes." Breakfast will be served on the plane along the way, but don't eat too much, as you will be laughed at if you throw up when you land. ”
Everyone chuckled softly.
Sitting on the chair of the transport plane, the door gradually closed, and the whole cabin became a little darker. Fortunately, the windows on both sides were not covered, and the sunlight from outside could still penetrate in, plus the plane's own lights, the cabin was not particularly dark at this time.
The sun had completely jumped out of the hill and was facing everyone, feeling a little dazzling. Yang Hao pulled down the visor, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The rest of the people are similar, trying to make sure they have enough energy.
Ten minutes later, the engines of the transport aircraft started and began to move on the runway. Suddenly, the plane began to accelerate, and everyone felt a force of inertia, but everyone fastened their seatbelts so that they would not throw people out.
The plane drifted off the ground and gradually began to climb. Soon, the speed of the transport plane began to tend to level off, and it entered the clouds, and really lifted the speed.
At this time, if you open the visor, you can see that on both sides of the transport plane, two J-20 fighters suddenly came out from under the clouds and flew side by side on both sides of the transport plane. The transport plane has little combat capability when flying, and this time the transport plane needs to pass through the war zone, although the route has been chosen to avoid the frontal battlefield as much as possible, but there is no guarantee that it will not be detected. For the sake of safety, General Wang still transferred two combat escorts. In fact, this kind of escort force cannot guarantee the absolute safety of the transport plane, but at least it can rob the soldiers and crew above enough time to parachute, even if they are not able to reach the airborne area, as long as the people come down, there will be basically no problems.
After the plane stabilized, everyone's breakfast came.
A few meat buns, a small cup of soy milk, all hot. Everyone quickly finished eating what they were holding, packed up the garbage, and sat in their seats to rest quietly.
About an hour later, the transport plane entered the war zone.
All the people were on alert. At this point, it's hard to say whether your life will be in danger. Carriers will choose the route that is least likely to be discovered, but once discovered, it means that they have to skydive early. As for where you will land, it will only be clear when you land. Maybe he can still get to Beiheng City, or maybe there is a group of enemies waiting for him under his feet.
Everyone's gear was hung on to make sure nothing went wrong, and some even unbuckled their harnesses so they could skydive faster.
And the fighters on both sides at this time act as two radars. Ground attack firepower is basically not lethal to transport aircraft at this altitude, and all threats will come from the air, so both fighters are paying full attention to their radars, and once there is anything abnormal, they will report immediately.
But this time everyone's luck was good. Until they left the main line of fire, the three planes did not find any potential danger, which made everyone secretly relieved.
Soon, the transport aircraft reached the airborne area.
"Prepare to parachute!"
All the soldiers stood up and checked their equipment.
"Check all your gear, don't leave anything behind, secure your stuff, put on your parachute."
The officer in charge of the command shouted while the soldiers moved quickly, preparing things to the left and right.
The black saber and others standing at the back of the soldiers were also packing up their equipment. At the same time, Zhang Tianhai also said to everyone: "Have you remembered the meeting place?" ”
"Remember!" Everyone responded.
"Good. Once you've landed, check your surroundings and try to move towards the meeting point. The radio is kept on throughout the process, and any accidents are reported immediately. I don't know if there are any enemies around here, everyone must be in the best spirit, don't be yin. ”
"Drop!"
The indicator light next to the door lit up red, signaling everyone to prepare.
"Ready!"
The officer shouted as he opened the hatch.
In an instant, a strong wind poured into the plane, making everyone a little unable to open their eyes.
"When you land, don't forget to put your umbrella away! Be aware of the dangers around you, try to move in a group, and don't be left alone! There are sporadic enemies nearby, and you must not be careless! ”
The officer shouted, and suddenly, the light turned green.
"Hop hop! The first! ”
The first soldier at the head immediately jumped down. Then the second, then the third.
"Jump! Jump! Jump! ”
The officers regularly sent one soldier after another to jump off the plane, and behind the plane, one parachute after another appeared in the air, like black dots, swaying, and began to fall from the sky. (To be continued......)
