Chapter 429: Airborne Hunter Assault (22000 monthly tickets plus more)

The commander of the Fifth Air Force came up to the airborne trooper colonel and said sternly, "You can refuse this mission because the planning time is too short and it is basically a suicide mission. To confirm whether Rokossov's tanks are fake, to be honest, I personally don't think it's worth sending the airborne troopers."

Colonel Jaeger: "General, we have been conducting night glider landings for such a long time just for this day. Moreover, we are familiar with night combat and have received long-term wilderness survival training. It is too early to assert that this trip is a dead end."

The commander hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Are you planning to glide and land outside Yeisk, and then approach the city on foot?"

Colonel: "Yes, we believe that there must be a master of Ante's sound array in Yeisk, so Rokosov can always be prepared to accurately shoot down low-flying reconnaissance aircraft.

"So we have to land outside the range that the Sound Array Master can monitor. The intelligence we obtained from Ant's assistant shows that although the monitoring range of the Sound Array Master is different for each person, the range is generally not as good as our new radar, so we just need to land outside this range."

The colonel drew a semicircle on the map.

Commander: "How do you solve the navigation problem? How do you know where you are in the dark?"

Colonel: "The man who tows the glider will carry a sextant and use the stars to correct the position of the aircraft."

"Sextant..." the commander was amazed. "What an ancient device."

"It works," said the Chasseur Colonel.

The commander stared at him for a few seconds and gestured to the orderly: "Bring some wine. You and the others can go back and rest."

The latter statement was addressed to the surviving Stuka pilots.

Then the pilots filed out of the headquarters. Outside the door, they could be heard talking about what Rokossov was going to do by concentrating so many armored forces.

"What can he do? Attack. In last year's winter campaign, he was the general with the most fruitful offensive results in the entire Ante. It's a pity that he was not allowed to command the subsequent counterattack."

"I heard that he was transferred back to execute the derelict General Ant. He will personally use his service gun to shoot the erring General Ant to death one by one! That's what the captured Ant pilot said!"

"Now Rokossov is going to attack again. I don't know if our airport will be attacked by him."

The airport where the Stuka was stationed was quite far from the front line, but the pilots were still worried that Rokossov would attack.

The commander was listening to the pilots' chatter outside when the orderly came over with a glass of wine: "General, the wine is ready."

The commander picked up two goblets, handed one to the colonel himself, and then raised his glass: "To your courage!"

The colonel replied: "To His Majesty the Emperor!"

The Air Force, whether it is pilots, airborne hunters, or air force field divisions, all consider themselves to be the most respected branch of the military by His Majesty the Emperor and the Emperor's personal guard, although they do not have the "royal" title.

As for the newly formed Knights of Asgard, they are all little brothers.

After drinking, the colonel put down his glass, saluted, and turned to leave.

The commander of the Fifth Air Force watched him leave.

At 25:2200 on the evening of the th, Wang Zhong yawned loudly and walked to the bed in the corner of the warehouse - he slept in the warehouse at night these days to avoid the trouble of moving around.

Every morning he would go to the curtained area in the corner of the warehouse to take a shower and keep himself clean.

The main reason is that the weather is hot and I can’t stand not taking a shower.

Wang Zhong lay on the camp bed with his eyes slightly closed, and then habitually switched perspective to observe the troops under his command.

Although he could not see the specific soldiers and could only see the symbols of various units, the terrain and street scenes were all clear, so this "bedtime inspection" could deepen Wang Zhong's understanding of the terrain.

He could even quickly scan the terrain of the entire army deployment area and understand all the ups and downs.

After such continuous "inspections", Wang Zhong can be sure that he is the person who is most familiar with the terrain of the entire area.

Although I don’t know when this advantage can be used, it is still an advantage after all.

Wang Zhong was patrolling when suddenly something flashed across his vision.

He was startled and quickly raised his vision to look for the object that flashed by. He found that it was four bombers, each towing a glider!

Wang Zhong broke out in a cold sweat. In order to confirm whether I really assembled so many tanks, you actually sent out airborne hunters?

Do you have to be so serious?

He immediately jumped up from the bed, but he stood up too violently and his head lost blood flow for a moment, causing him to fall to the side.

A short, stocky man held him up.

When Wang Zhong recovered, he looked down and saw that it was Nellie.

"Thank you!" Wang Zhong stood up straight and found that Popov and Pavlov were looking at him.

Wang Zhong: "Air raid!"

Pavlov and Popov looked at each other, and the latter said, "Brother Peter didn't hear it. Although he went to rest at night, he would use headphones to connect to a smaller sound array system when he slept. He would hear the enemy planes' loud noises."

Wang Zhong: "No, no, no, I... I dreamed that four enemy bombers were towing four gliders to attack us! They were probably airdropped to confirm the tanks were real. Immediately send out a security force equipped with flashlights and torches! Look for the gliders!

"I guess the enemy will release the glider outside Brother Peter's listening range and make a silent landing!"

But Wang Zhong stopped immediately. The gliding process of the glider may be silent, but there is a sound when it hits the ground! Brother Peter will definitely hear it. "No!" Wang Zhong corrected himself, "The enemy will not land within Brother Peter's hearing range, which will alarm the monk. They will land within Brother Peter's hearing range. The enemy does not know how far Brother Peter can hear, so they will use a more conservative number."

Everyone in the room who had no important work looked at each other, and finally Pavlov said, "You have heard the commander's order. Send out all the troops, carry lighting tools, and look for the enemy's gliders!"

Vasily: "Wait a minute, are we going to move out just because of the general's dream?"

Wang Zhong: "No, I'm just in case. I'm not sure the enemy will drop by air. I'm not sure! But it's better to be prepared, right?"

Pavlov: "Yes, it is better to be prepared. Send out the troops! Not only the troops in Yeisk, but also each division should send out night patrols to search their own defense areas!"

At this time, the phone rang.

Pavlov picked up the phone: "Is that Brother Peter? No? Army Group Headquarters, who? Report!"

A few seconds later, Pavlov put down the phone: "The sentry of the 225th Division saw a dark shadow moving in the sky! And heard the sound of an engine!"

Wang Zhong slapped his thigh and said, "See, I guessed it!"

Vasily stared at Wang Zhong: "Are you really guessing?"

Wang Zhong: "Of course! What else could it be?"

Vasily gestured with his hands in front of him and forced out a few words: "Blackbody radiation? Quantum entanglement? De Broglie transformation? Or some other high-energy physics phenomenon that I don't understand."

Wang Zhong: "Whatever! Move out quickly! Destroy the enemy's airborne troops!"

Proson Airborne Hunter Squadron, inside Glider No. 1.

The glider pilot suddenly shouted, "Colonel! Come and see!"

The colonel immediately came to the cockpit and pressed the two pilots' chairs with his hands: "What's wrong?"

"Look!" The pilot pointed to the ground, "There are all running lights! We've been discovered! Landing now would be a death wish!"

The colonel gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, keep landing! We have no power anyway, and it's impossible for us to fly back."

The pilot cursed and pushed the control stick forward.

The colonel turned to face the airborne hunters in the cabin and said, "Somehow the enemy discovered our actions. Now I think the original mission can no longer be completed, so I decided to change the mission objective based on my authority.

"Stay alive, escape the pursuit of the Ants under the cover of night, and try to return to the friendly forces! That's it!"

The pilot yelled, "We're about to land! Hold on tight!"

The next moment the fuselage began to shake violently. Although everyone was wearing seat belts, they were still shaken pretty hard.

Suddenly, someone's seat belt fixing bolt was torn off, and it bounced back and forth in the cabin and finally hit the colonel's helmet.

The colonel straightened his helmet, grasped the handle above the cabin with his right hand, and maintained his standing posture with the strength of his legs and arms.

Suddenly, the fuselage sank and the entire tail lifted up!
The pilot yelled, "Why is there a pit!"

The hole dug by the vole caused the plane, which was gliding horizontally on the ground, to stand upright and stick into the ground.

Now all the airborne hunters were "hanging on the wall", literally "hanging on the bulkhead".

The hunter whose safety belt had just flown off fell directly down and landed heavily next to the colonel.

The colonel remained calm. "Everyone, follow my orders and move your bodies. We can get the plane level again! Listen to me, one, two--"

With everyone shaking in unison, the tail of the plane actually began to sink, and then the fuselage snapped and broke into two sections.

The back half fell down, while the front half was still hanging.

The colonel yelled, "Don't panic! People on the first floor, unbuckle your seatbelts first!"

Just at this moment, a light came from outside!

Light streamed in from every window of the glider, illuminating the entire cabin.

The next moment a machine gun swept over, making a series of bullet holes in the bulkhead.

A hunter who was unbuckling his seat belt suddenly stopped moving, and blood flowed down the warehouse wall.

Ant was shouting outside, but the colonel couldn't understand.

He kicked the cabin door open, got out with a gun in hand, and started shooting at the figures in the wilderness.

The fire from a submachine gun immediately brought about a torrential rain of counterattack.

The colonel was shot several times and his body was shaking wildly as if he had the malady.

Under the effect of the impact, he leaned against the open door of the plane, and when the Ants stopped shooting, he slowly slid down.

The white edelweiss was still on his collar.
