Chapter 257: Airborne Operations

And just when Luo Chenguang was worried about this, Du Yonggang proposed a plan that he had finally come up with.

Although I don't know what Du Yonggang's specific plan is, it is good that someone is willing to provide a plan now, and he can at least learn some useful things from it.

So Luo Chenguang quickly gathered the senior officers around him, ready to let everyone come together to refer to Du Yonggang's plan in detail to see if it was feasible.

As soon as everyone rushed to the conference room, Du Yong immediately told everyone about his plan to a combat map in the conference room.

"Look, everyone, I'm ready to break through from here!" As Du Yong spoke, his right hand pointed to a place on the edge of the map.

When everyone looked up, they found that it was already on the edge of the battlefield, hundreds of kilometers away from here! Moreover, the terrain there is very complicated, there are a lot of mountains and forests, which are not suitable for troops to fight at all, but on the demon side, they only need to deploy thousands of soldiers and horses on some dangerous mountains, and they can block their own hundreds of thousands of troops from inching in.

Just when everyone thought that Du Yonggang's plan was a bad idea, Du Yonggang added with a smile: "I recently learned from a survivor that the tunnel there did not collapse completely, only some damage appeared at the exits at both ends, and even some survivors deliberately damaged it, in order to make that section of the tunnel a safe refuge, but unfortunately due to the lack of resources, and in the end, the demon sent a lot of troops to station. Those human survivors who were originally hiding inside felt unsafe, so they quietly left there and came to join our Qinglong Empire, with them leading the way, our army can easily find its entrance, and then jump through the tunnel to those defensive lines they have arranged before the demons are completely unresponsive, and then go straight to their logistics base C City, where more than eighty percent of the supplies of the demon army are stored, once we occupy this place, the demon army will soon run out of food, and when the time comes, they will have to withdraw if they don't retreat, And our army can chase and kill with its tail at this time, and it will definitely be able to achieve a brilliant victory! ”

After Luo Chenguang listened to his suggestion, he felt that although this plan was bold, the possibility of success was not small, and he was afraid that his army would be discovered by the demons in the process of passing through the tunnel, and the army would be blocked in the tunnel at that time, and it would be easy for the whole army to be annihilated.

Du Yonggang also has his own way to this point, his suggestion is to first carry out an airborne operation to the rear of the enemy, and go to attack the enemy's headquarters and other more important places, and at that time, the enemy's frontal army does not dare to use it easily because of the confrontation with his own army, so he can only transfer troops from other places to suppress it, and like the kind of battlefield edge area that has not been fought since the beginning of the war, it is the most likely place to be drawn troops, and then as the number of defenders in that place becomes more and more scarce, Even if the other party discovers that their own army is crossing the tunnel, they may not be able to stop the pace of their own army with those few people.

Hearing that the airborne operation was going to be carried out, Air Force Commander Zhou Jiale immediately said that he must participate in this operation, and he has been staying in the rear these days, feeling that his bones are about to rust, and he is trying to go to the rear of the enemy army to make a big fuss!

Luo Chenguang glanced at this guy when he heard this, and then solemnly warned the other party that this airborne operation is not a joke, it is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

After all, this airborne operation requires parachuting into the rear of the enemy's army, and at that time, there will be no support from the rear army at all, and at the same time, there are enemies in all directions, and sometimes the landing is biased, and it may fall directly into the enemy's barracks, and before it can completely land, the enemy will be shot to death.

After that, these airborne troops have to quickly complete the assembly without other friendly support, without supplies and heavy weapons, and take the initiative to attack, causing enough chaos in the enemy's rear, and only then can they complete the mission.

But even after listening to Luo Chenguang talk about the dangers and difficulties, Zhou Jiale still insisted on going, and said that this was exciting enough.

Seeing this, Luo Chenguang could only reluctantly agree to this guy's invitation, he just hoped that this guy's luck would not be too bad, and he would be in a box as soon as he landed.

On Du Yonggang's side, in order to allow the other party to capture the demons' logistics base C City at the fastest speed with a partial division, Luo Chenguang gave the other party a full 200 tanks of various types and more than 500 armored combat vehicles, as well as thousands of personnel carriers, transported 20,000 elite heavy infantry, and finally 5,000 elite heavy cavalry. The total number of troops is about 50,000.

As for Zhou Jiale's side, although it was a feint to attract the attention of the enemy, Luo Chenguang also arranged 20,000 elites for the other party, because it was an airborne operation, he could not carry heavy weapons, Luo Chenguang also specially handed over more than 10,000 magic energy assault rifles that had just been produced recently to Zhou Jiale.

And after Zhou Jiale got those new equipment, he quickly gathered his soldiers and prepared to attack.

That night, hundreds of large transport planes carried Zhou Jiale, and they slowly approached the rear of the demon army at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

At this altitude, even those second-order strength flying demons would become extremely sluggish in their flight speed, almost becoming targets one by one, so the demons would basically not fly to this altitude to intercept them. It's a pity that at this altitude, if the air force of the Blue Dragon Empire wants to carry out an attack such as bombing, it will be completely inaccurate, and it must reduce the flight altitude.

Fortunately, today's transport planes of the Blue Dragon Empire are only responsible for transporting people, they only need to fly to a place where the enemy forces are relatively small according to intelligence, and then directly let Zhou Jiale and them jump down by themselves.

"It's time to get there, jump!" After flying for more than half an hour, the captain said to Zhou Jiale and the others.

Zhou Jiale, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately got up when he heard this, walked quickly to the back of the transport plane, opened the cabin door, and suddenly a cold and strong night wind blew in, blowing the skin on Zhou Jiale's face and changing shapes.

And looking down, because the sky was dark, all I could see was pitch black, and I didn't know what was going on below.

However, Zhou Jiale is indeed bold, and in this case, there is no hesitation, after confirming that the equipment on his body is brought and the parachute is no problem, he jumps down towards the pitch black.

Seeing that Zhou Jiale, the boss, jumped so simply, the other airborne troops also gritted their teeth one by one, and jumped down one after another, and suddenly the belly of the transport plane was like a dumpling, and one after another soldiers kept getting down from behind the belly of the plane.

Because the sky was too dark, Zhou Jiale couldn't judge his altitude at all after jumping down, so he could only keep counting silently in his heart, and when he felt that the height was almost high, he opened the parachute.

The main reason why the parachute is not opened early is that it is necessary to shorten the airborne time as much as possible and reduce the chance of being detected and attacked by the enemy. After all, the demons are not blind, once they find that there are huge parachutes floating in the sky, they will immediately understand that the enemy is attacking, and if the parachute is opened too early, then it will fall in the air for a longer time, and then it will completely become the target of those demons, and they will be killed before they land.

Facts have proved that Zhou Jiale, who has a very good psychological quality, is quite accurate in his silent calculation, and after opening the parachute, he only floated down for another seven or eight seconds, and he was already able to faintly see the ground.

From the air, the place where he will land is an apparently abandoned rice field, and there are no demons or puppet soldiers nearby.

So Zhou Jiale landed on the ground very smoothly, and then he quickly put away the parachute, and then waited for a while, only waiting for two soldiers to land near him.

So after Zhou Jiale joined the two soldiers, he began to rush towards their target location, hoping that the other soldiers could join them on the road.

And the other airborne troops are not as smooth as Zhou Jiale and them, some soldiers because the parachute opened too early, floating in the air for too long, so they were discovered by the demon warriors and the puppet army, and then suddenly ushered in a blow, those flying demons immediately took off, and other demons and puppet troops used bows and crossbows and magic to carry out long-range strikes on these airborne troops, once this happened, those airborne troops were basically dead.

The number of soldiers who died in the airborne process alone was in the thousands. In addition, more than 600 soldiers were accidentally discovered by a large group of enemy troops after landing, and were surrounded and killed.

You must know that the lowest strength of these airborne troops are all masters of chemical strength, and they are all elites cultivated by the Qinglong Empire with great difficulty, and more than 1,000 people were lost just after the war, so it is no wonder that Luo Chenguang repeatedly reminded Zhou Jiale of the danger.

And from the current point of view, Zhou Jiale's luck is really good, he didn't encounter any enemies along the way, and even in the process of hurrying, he successively gathered several friendly forces, and finally formed a team of eighty-three people, and continued to rush towards the target location.

Their target location is a place that is said to be a demon arsenal, the importance of such a place is self-evident, it must be heavily guarded, according to intelligence, there are more than 30,000 enemy troops stationed there, and they are all authentic demon warriors, and there is no pseudo-army.

With Zhou Jiale's troops, they don't have any heavy weapons, and if they want to lay down such a heavily guarded place, the success rate is very low.

However, Luo Chenguang didn't expect Zhou Jiale and them to really succeed, all he needed was Zhou Jiale to disrupt the enemy's rear, so that the demon had to transfer troops from other places to reinforce, so that his tactical goal would be achieved.

And Zhou Jiale and they hurried until dawn, and finally found an enemy army, and the number of soldiers gathered next to Zhou Jiale at this time was already more than three hundred. And the enemy they found was a puppet army of more than 1,000 people, apparently responsible for escorting a batch of supplies to the front line.

Zhou Jiale felt that they could eat such a little puppet army in one bite, so he immediately let his soldiers ambush those enemies on the way they had to go.

And just when Zhou Jiale and the others were ambushed, another unknown force suddenly appeared nearby, and it seemed that they also wanted to ambush the puppet army transport team here.

Zhou Jiale asked one of his soldiers to take the initiative to show up, and went to contact the other party, only to learn that this army of more than 800 people belonged to a nearby large-scale human survivor base, because the food in the base was about to run out recently, so they had to pull out all the soldiers who could fight in the base, ready to risk robbing the demon's military rations.

And these guys have also heard of the name of the Blue Dragon Empire, and after knowing that Zhou Jiale is the army of the Blue Dragon Empire, they immediately expressed their willingness to obey Zhou Jiale and their leadership, and work together to ambush that transport team, and the spoils obtained by both sides can be divided fifty-fifty.

Zhou Jiale felt that it would be good to have more people to ambush together, so he agreed to them, and then the two troops quickly gathered together and re-selected a good place to ambush.

In this process, Zhou Jiale also found that the equipment of these human survivors is really poor, that is, cold weapons such as knives, guns and spears are still relatively similar, as for armor and bows and crossbows, they are all extremely rough and simple, but this is actually understandable, after all, most of the so-called survivor bases, most of them have no professional blacksmiths at all, and it is good to be able to create these.

Because the equipment of those survivor fighters was too poor, Zhou Jiale let them all be reserves, and only after Zhou Jiale and their side had successfully suppressed the enemy, they would let these reserves attack, and before that, these survivors would continue to stay behind! lest they rush up and die in vain.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the puppet army transport team was finally late, and it can be seen that many puppet troops in the team should have just woken up, yawning from time to time during the march, looking listless, as if they felt that they should not encounter any powerful enemy attacks in this kind of large rear, so they all relaxed their vigilance.

"Let's get started!"

With Zhou Jiale's order, more than 20 grenadiers carried by the team launched one magic grenade after another almost at the same time, and landed in the enemy team hundreds of meters away.

Before those puppet soldiers could figure out what these things were, those magic grenades exploded one after another, killing dozens of puppet soldiers on the spot, and even more were injured and blown down.
