At the same time, the Balkan Peninsula, which has been plagued by war for the past half month, has also entered the early morning.

For the middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, in mid-to-late April, the effective sunshine hours have already run for 15 hours.

So this effort, even though the sun is not yet visible.

But the sky was already dark.

In the gentle morning mist, a Waz 469 off-road vehicle with a civilian license plate turned on the dim fog lights and galloped through the empty street.

In the co-pilot's seat, Captain Nikolai Balsack was holding a map of the city in his hand, and he was not very skilled in directing a sergeant major next to him who was about to take the steering wheel out of Mars:

"The front one...... No, the next intersection is to the right, and then immediately to the left......"

The lieutenant gave way without even thinking about it:

"What the hell is going on? I'm Nikolai Balsack, the commander of the 250th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Air Defense Brigade, and the photo was taken two years ago, when I was very thin......"

"Of course you can, anyway, quite a few people have already seen it."

"Now that it's dawn, are you standing guard here without any cover, aren't you afraid of being attacked by the air?"

"In short, there is nothing dangerous about fighting, but if I don't look at the results of last night's battle, I will be really uncomfortable...... And no matter what the reason is, the other party hasn't been here for a few hours, so the risk shouldn't be too great......"

Although it has been shattered and completely unformed, after what the other party just said......

Balsack had written down the location of the plane crash, and was going to look for it after he had evacuated his position.

In principle, no, that is, yes.

As Lieutenant Colonel Danny's cronie and white gloves, the captain naturally knows the logic of the operation of this set of things, but understanding is understanding, and it is reasonable that this is almost a millennium and still uses large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery air defense, no matter how abstract it is, including when he himself commanded his four guns to shoot, he felt that it was a bit too child's play.

Balsak took out his ID from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed it to the other party, and asked a little confused:

He asked tentatively.

There was so much going on last night, and not everything could be casually talked about, so he got stuck in the middle of his sentence:

"In short, it should be relatively safe now, and this pile of wreckage is much more important than the safety of a few of us."

The lieutenant looked up.

"It's just that we haven't even bottomed out our ammunition yet, let alone the other side."

Only then did he look past the captain's body and look at the pile of wreckage in the distance surrounded by a police cordon.

"Maybe some building was blown down......

In the past few hours, the sky over the entire city seems to have exploded.

"You saved everything last night!"

"Oh my God......"

Sure enough, the other party looked around vigilantly:

A senior soldier sitting in the back seat asked.

The nearly 20-year-old jeep is swaying and looks like it might fall apart at any moment.

He also knew that his request was a bit too much, but once the idea came to mind, it lingered.

Some things are the same all over the world.

The captain, of course, knew that they did not change an aircraft with a few anti-aircraft guns, but only a few planes after losing most of the city.

The captain was very bold, otherwise he would not have taken on this kind of task with Wu Yifan before, but bravery was not reckless, and in that case, he still hid in the underground bunker to rest according to the requirements of the lieutenant colonel.

That is, it is still in the "night" control period, and the surrounding power plants and substation facilities have long been bombed, so there are neither traffic lights nor traffic police on the street, otherwise such a rampage will be stopped.

Ten minutes later, the jeep stopped next to the wreckage, which had been surrounded by a cordon.

Balsack was going to comfort the subordinate, but after thinking about it, he told the truth:

Therefore, he entrusted the command of the unit to his deputy company commander, and then took three subordinates to find an inconspicuous jeep with civilian license plates, and prepared to go to the location noted down at night to take a look.

He held a folded AKMS in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was always aimed out of the car window, making a vigilant appearance, but in the face of an enemy who did not use ground forces at all, this behavior obviously had no practical effect other than emboldening himself.

As a captain officer, Balsak actually knew that there were not many anti-aircraft missiles left in his house, but this matter was a military secret, and it must not be said nonsense, and the shortage of missiles was not only too much indiscriminately fired in the early stage, but also because several ammunition depots were taken in a row, so the sergeant's words were logically correct.

Balsak didn't know if he was convincing his subordinates or himself.

He didn't know how the other party had located here, but it looked like a revenge.

At first, it was the air defense forces, including Balsak himself, who used ambush tactics and suddenly fired a half-minute burst into the air.

Balsac was a little flattered.

The lieutenant, dressed in a military police uniform, reached out and stopped the four people who had just gotten out of the car.

"Comrade Captain!"

The reason why they chose this place as an antiaircraft artillery position in the first place was because the nearby neighborhood was home to international organizations, foreign institutions, and media, and the opposing air force rarely came to the site.

But how did it blow up over there now......

As a result, the round of artillery fire was like a hornet's nest, and as soon as he and his subordinates found an underground bunker for concealment, he didn't have time to take a sip of hot water, when he heard explosions around him, and the radio and walkie-talkie were also unresponsive, apparently under strong electromagnetic interference.

The sharp-eyed senior soldier kept staring out the window, and suddenly noticed that a few streets away seemed to be full of people, not at all like a war.

"I don't know, but something was wrong this morning, and it stands to reason that a bomb should have fallen at this time of day."

"Comrade Captain, please show your ID!"

"Such a big NATO, you can't even get some ammunition and fuel, right?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a few anti-aircraft guns, and in exchange for the plane last night, how can I make money."

"Air strikes have been suspended because of ......"

With that, he lowered his head and opened Balsack's papers to be checked.

Balsak shook his head decisively:

It wasn't until I woke up after a few hours of sleep that the explosions and distractions gradually disappeared and the surroundings gradually returned to peace.

But since he used what he brought back, it must be another stealth plane.

"And ...... Can you take some of the parts of the wreckage as a souvenir? ”

Balsack, who had just crossed the cordon, was embarrassed to say that he had fallen asleep before, so he had to change the subject:

"Could it be that there were too many planes that came out last night, and today they are running out of ammunition, or that the planes are all being prepared?"

"Look, Captain, it's our position last night, and it looks like it's been bombed......"

As a result, as soon as they covered the camouflage net, before they could evacuate their positions, they saw a huge fireball ignite in the air in the distance, and then slowly fell.

Balsack took his military ID and prepared to put it back in his pocket, but he got stuck halfway through:

"Wait...... What did we shoot down? ”

After a few seconds, the lieutenant looked up again, his eyes full of shock.

The driver, who was originally looking at the road in front of him intently, also nodded in agreement:

"Regardless of that, let's go to the plane crash first."

"Captain, let's just have a car along the way, and we won't be targeted by planes......"

It's really a lot like a flying wing bomber......

Hearing this, Balsak's heart moved.

The anti-aircraft artillery position was not at the same angle as Danny's command post, and the view was not good because of the ruins around the position, so he couldn't see what had been shot down at the time.

"Look, it's their troops, they shot down this B2 last night!"

Balsack also remembered that before the unidentified plane was shot down last night, there seemed to be a violent explosion nearby, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was right.

The lieutenant of the military police was visibly breathing a lot heavier, and his emotions seemed to be a little agitated.

But before he could react, the lieutenant returned the papers to him, and then shouted in a low voice to the other two colleagues next to him:

The lieutenant behind him hesitated:

"In principle, of course, you can't ......"

Hearing this, Balsack subconsciously looked out, and sure enough, he found that the pile of ruins that had been used as cover had now become more and more broken, and there was still a lot of green smoke rising in the middle, which had obviously been burning for a long time and had just been extinguished.

He raised his hand and saluted Balsack:

But I can only comfort myself like this at the moment.

But by this time it was almost dawn, and the lieutenant colonel's previous order was to let them not go out as much as possible during the day.

Balsac's first instinct was to pinch his thigh hard to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

In the end, though, it was the bold nature that prevailed.

"You don't know?"

Because after the previous wave of crazy intensive bombardment, nothing happened in the past few hours.

"We ...... Can you go in and have a look? ”

An ensign on the other side of the back seat had the same rifle in his hand, but he didn't even have a rifle, apparently knowing that in the current situation, it was similar to a burning stick.

"I didn't expect you to come so late to confirm the results......

So Balsack struggled for a while.

On the other hand, I also think it's a little strange.

"We did ...... last night"

He held his credentials up and placed them next to Balsack's face, apparently comparing the photo with the person.

If it weren't for the large black wreckage of the plane in the distance, Balsack would have thought he was back before the Allied operation began.

……

For example—

Since the Allied operation began three weeks ago, there has not been such a long period of silence.

On the one hand, I really wanted to know what I had knocked down, after all, judging from the volume of the fireball I saw at the time, and the gorgeous program effect, it didn't feel like an ordinary thing.

But just one look at it stunned.

"If the opposite side had to rest for so long if it was a concentrated operation on the other side, then we wouldn't have fought so hard......

After shooting down that F117 before, the 3rd Battalion did have a nickname within the army, but it doesn't seem to be to that extent.

Balsack and his company hid for hours in makeshift underground bunkers, without a radio in hand, completely unaware of what was going on outside.

It seems like......

"Wait, why do there seem to be a lot of people and cars over there?"

Not only was there a cordon, there was even about a platoon of gun-wielding sentinels.

There was no sound of anti-aircraft fire, no roar of aircraft engines, no sound of bombs exploding.

"What should I know?"

Fortunately, the second lieutenant in the back opened his mouth at this time to change the topic:

"Comrade Captain, a few of us are standing guard and haven't seen anything, so you should be more hidden......"

Balsack realized in an instant, and quickly ran to the wreckage and circled around twice, and then, together with three other people, removed the two remaining fragments that were relatively intact......
