my bright sword career

Chapter 673 Airdrop
Gao Jiwen shook his head, "Judging from the current situation, there is no need to ask about the purpose of the Japanese 56th Search Wing, as the lice on the bald man's head are obvious.

Our anti-infiltration, investigation and harassment of the Japanese army these days has made the Japanese army feel panic and uneasy. Their purpose is only one, that is to use infiltration for infiltration, and harassment for harassment. I estimate that the Japanese army will soon be harassed We have launched a massive offensive. "

Hearing this, Song Changgui's heart immediately hung up. Although he was only a small second lieutenant, he still knew the situation of the [-]th Division.

These days, with the gradual increase in the time of Tonggu's siege, the supply of the 200th Division has become more and more difficult. Not only are weapons and ammunition almost exhausted, but even food has become more and more difficult.

Let's put it this way, when Song Changgui and his team went out to patrol, the weapons and ammunition were collected from various troops. This shows that today's 200th Division is almost running out of ammunition and food.

Originally, Gao Jiwen's idea was to send a capable reconnaissance team to harass the Japanese army and force the Japanese army to take care of themselves, but now it seems that the Japanese commander is not a fool. After a short period of confusion, he has seen through Gao Jiwen's plot.

Just when Song Changgui was feeling worried, Gao Jiwen's voice sounded beside his ears: "Okay, you've all worked hard these past few days, go back and rest first."

"Yes!" Although his heart is still hanging, Song Changgui also understands that this kind of major event related to the fate of the whole teacher is not something that a small second lieutenant should worry about. In order to kill a few more devils before dying in battle.

After Song Changgui retreated, Liu Shuren, the head of the engineering regiment, said worriedly: "Sir, it seems that the devils have seen through our plan, why don't we shrink our defenses first, so that we may last a few more days?"

Gao Jiwen shook his head: "No... Now that the devils have mastered the air, once we shrink our troops, our five or six thousand troops gathered together will only become a living target for the planes.

Rather than shrinking troops, it is better to spread them out. This is the best way to preserve strength. "

"Ugh!"

Liu Shu's face flushed with anger: "I hate his British uncle, we came all the way to rescue them, it's nothing but ungrateful grandsons, they even put us together.

If it weren't for those turtle grandchildren, Mr. Dai wouldn't be honored either! "

Thinking of the sacrificed commander Dai Anlan, Gao Jiwen also fell silent, and said in a muffled voice after a long time: "Now is not the time to discuss this matter, you should go back and check the air defense camouflage of each department right now, I guess the little devil is about to die." An air strike has been launched."

"Buzzing..."

As soon as Gao Jiwen finished speaking, a faint roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and soon the roar became louder and louder.

"airplane!"

Gao Jiwen and Liu Shuren looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.

Afterwards, without saying a word, Gao Jiwen strode out of the yard, climbed up the ladder to the roof, and looked in the direction of the sound with a telescope.

At this time, the willow man also shouted from below: "Master, come down quickly, it's dangerous up there."

Gao Jiwen said disdainfully: "Nonsense, I'm standing here, if the little devil can still see me, I will recognize me even if he kills me... Eh... No... Those planes... They are..."

Gao Jiwen exclaimed, and as he quickly adjusted the focus of the telescope with his hand, the fleet of aircraft in the sky soon appeared in his eye sockets.

Dozens of transport planes were getting closer and closer under the escort of the same number of fighter planes. On the wing of a huge transport plane, a clearly visible badge of blue sky and white sun appeared in front of him awe-inspiringly.

Gao Jiwen's voice instantly became excited: "That's... that's our plane!"

As the plane approached, more and more soldiers saw the approaching fleet clearly.

Seeing this familiar badge, Gao Jiwen was so excited that his heart jumped out of his chest. He almost yelled to Liu Shuren: "Order the troops not to shoot, that is our plane! Also, order the troops immediately to prepare to receive the airdrop Supplies!"

Facts proved that Gao Jiwen's premonition was right. When the fleet flew over Tonggucheng, the hatch door of the leading transport fleet opened wide, and soon white parachutes began to appear in midair.

Doolittle, who was sitting in the cockpit of a C-1000 transport plane 47 meters above the ancient city, looked at the increasingly clear Tonggu City on the ground, and said to the microphone: "Attention the transportation team, speed up the release, and release Return to the voyage immediately after the completion, and do not stay! The escort brigade pay attention to observe the surroundings to prevent Japanese planes from sneaking in!"

"understand!"

For this airdrop, the fleet was loaded with supplies from Liantai County Airport and flew directly to Tonggucheng, and then transferred to Yangon Airport to land after emptying the supplies. In order to ensure the safety of the transport plane, the fleet was escorted by F6F Hellcat fighter jets throughout the process.

Since the distance from Liantai to Tonggu is about 47 kilometers, and the C2500 transport aircraft and Hellcat fighter jets have a maximum range of about 2600 to [-] kilometers with full fuel.

According to the plan, they had to fly to Yangon Airport and land immediately after the airdrop.

In addition, it was the first time for the pilots of the transport plane to fly the Myanmar line, and they had to consider the situation encountered on the road or encountering enemy planes.

Therefore, the requirements for the navigator are very high. Any mistake will cause the aircraft to lose its way or run out of fuel, which will be a devastating blow to the fleet.

So Gao Hongming handed over this task to Doolittle.

There is no way, who makes this Yankee the most experienced? He can take off from an aircraft carrier to bomb Japan, and then fly to China to land safely. With such a level, it is difficult to find another person in the entire Liantai Flying Corps.

And Doolittle did live up to expectations, bringing the transport fleet safely to the sky above Tonggu, and air-dropped all 528 tons of supplies to the sky above Tonggu City.

"Airdrop...it's an airdrop!"

"Brothers, our plane is here to drop things for us!"

"Rush forward, grab the airdrop!"

At this time, the remaining 5000 officers and soldiers of the 200 divisions in Tonggu City saw the densely packed parachutes in the sky. Many people shouted with excitement, and countless soldiers rushed out of the bunkers towards the direction where the parachutes landed. .

Soon, the first parachute fell and hit a large street heavily.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a dull impact sound, a large wooden box hit the hard ground, and a big hole was broken in the lid instantly, and more than a dozen small wooden boxes rolled out of it.

A captain stepped forward to pry open the box, and a neat row of M24 grenades appeared in front of his eyes. He counted a little, and there were 24 in a box.

There are 24 boxes in an airdrop box, that is to say, the grenades in an airdrop box are enough to equip a company of soldiers.

He raised his head and shouted loudly to the surrounding soldiers: "Why are you still standing there, a few people quickly take these grenades back.

Platoon Leader Wang, immediately take your brothers to look for other airdrop boxes, collect everything and count the number, and you must act quickly. "

"understand!"

While the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division were busy looking for airdrops all over the street, more than a dozen female nurses and soldiers in charge of guards at the field hospital in the south of the city were a little dumbfounded looking at the team in front of them.

Because this airdrop box is different from others, the contents inside are wrapped in thick cotton cloth, there are many buttons and antennas in these iron bumps, and no one knows what it is.

Just when they were a little confused, Yu Xiaobo, then director of the field hospital, arrived.
