() Hamlet thought about the question of survival or destruction for a long time, and the question of whether to shoot or not to shoot, Ron made a decision without even taking a second: "Let the pilot hold the m1 carbine or m1911a1 pistol to fight with

Take mp-44 and mg

-42 and the special forces who have a numerical advantage over him must be crazy to fight against her! Even if there is an advantage of firing first, such a thing is absolutely uneconomical." So Ron immediately squatted down and told everyone

He made a silent gesture.

If the Germans had just withdrawn from the airport in the dark, then everyone would be fine. But at this moment, the stubborn Russians found the flares.

A few rounds of flares illuminated the airport, and the retreating Germans were clearly revealed. Then, the flattened 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns came over like splashing water. No.

The German soldiers who were unable to escape were directly shot into two pieces by the 37mm anti-aircraft gun shells.

At this time, a German soldier jumped into the drainage ditch to avoid Soviet artillery fire.

After a guy jumped into the drainage ditch, he almost came face to face with Ron. The man saw that Ron had pointed the m1 carbine muzzle at him, but the muzzle of the mg-42 in his hand was still pointed at him.

On the other side, he quickly dodged to the side and at the same time threw the mg-42 in his hand directly towards Ron.

While dodging the mg-42 machine gun that was aimed at him, Ron fired a shot at the Germans. However, when he was dodging, his foot slipped and he almost fell to the ground. So the shot fired was natural.

I don't know where the shot went. At this time, the German guy on the opposite side had already pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Ron. However, his gun did not fire. The damn P-38 pistol jammed.

The German immediately dropped his pistol again, pulled out his dagger and rushed over. At this time, Ron and several other people who had reacted fired at the German with their own weapons. Several rounds of various bullets were fired at the German.

——The 7.62 m1 carbine and the .45 caliber m1911a1 hit the German on the chest one after another. The German fell down. When he fell, he threw out the dagger in his hand and hit it.

Ron's calves.

Fortunately, the other Germans were either suppressed by the Soviet firepower, or they would move further away from the airport whenever they had the opportunity. But no one turned around and jumped into the ditch to seek revenge on those Americans.

So, except for Ron being stabbed in the calf, nothing happened to anyone.

At this time, the roar of tank tracks was heard in the distance - this was the arrival of Tula's garrison for reinforcements.

…

The sun rose, illuminating the messy airport. Last night, because they were worried about what other tricks the Germans might try, the Soviets did not pursue them when the Germans withdrew.

In this night attack, the Soviet army suffered heavy losses. Less than one regiment of intact soldiers was left in the two anti-aircraft artillery regiments. Many anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and searchlights were also destroyed. Many facilities at the airport were also damaged.

It was destroyed. But some of the most important things were saved. The hangar was fine, and so were the P-81 fighter jets in the hangar. Most of the pilots were fine too.

, although there were a few idiots who really wanted to go up and fight the Germans with their guns and sand, the Soviet airport guards still controlled them very well. Among all the pilots, Ron was not the one who was most seriously injured.

It was Gulayev. This restless guy wanted to join the battle, but accidentally fell into a ditch and suffered a shattered fracture in his right leg.

After dawn, this guy and Ron were sent to a hospital in Tula. The initial diagnosis was that it would take a month for Ron's injury to be completely healed. As for Gurayev, he should not think about heaven for at least half a year.

After staying in the hospital for two days, Ron returned to the airport. At this time, there were new changes on the Soviet-German battlefield. While Ron stayed in the hospital, the Soviets recaptured Smolensk after a bitter battle.

.This news gave Ron another new idea.

Although the German troops maintained a fairly good order when they withdrew from Smolensk and established a solid defense on the new position on October 1st. However, the defense in this area, at least the air defense, was definitely better than before.

It has been weakened. And Smolensk is closer to the target Ronso wants to attack. So if the joint forces can be transferred to Smolensk, the combat efficiency of the joint forces will be further improved.

And this transfer is also a good thing for the Soviet army. A powerful air force was transferred to the direction of Smolensk, which will definitely attract the attention of the German army. The goal of the Soviet Red Army in the Battle of Smolensk was originally one

The attack hit Orsha in Belros, but because the losses were too great, they only advanced to Rudnia, west of Veliri.

, Dribin and along the Pronya River, the attack had to be stopped. If the United Air Force suddenly transferred to Smolensk now, it would definitely make the German army that had just relaxed become nervous again. At the same time, in order to

By intercepting them, the German air power will also be adjusted, which will also be beneficial to the upcoming campaign aimed at retaking Kiev.

Sure enough, the suggestion about transfer quickly received a response from the Soviet side, and the Soviets almost immediately agreed to their request. They made preparations at an airport near Smolensk.

On October 4th, the United Air Force began preparing to transfer to Smolensk. The traces of the attack on Tula Airport could no longer be found. The airport was busy, and fighter planes were neatly arranged on the tarmac.

The final preparations before departure.

The distance from Tula to Smolensk is not far. Simply transferring there seems to be a bit wasteful for the long-legged P-81. So the United Air Force came up with something called "combat transition"

Son.

The so-called "battle transition" is that the P-81 took off from Tula, went to the German-controlled area to perform a combat mission, and when it returned from the mission, it flew directly to Smolensk Airport to land.

Ron sat in a wheelchair and watched the P-81 fighter jets take off one after another. Then, a guard pushed him to the side of a transport plane. Because of his calf injury, Ron was unable to fly the fighter jets by himself, so

He could only take a Soviet transport plane.

This is a bi-wing transport aircraft. If it weren't for the different emblems painted on the fuselage, Ron would have almost called out the name "C-47". This is a DC-3 produced by the Soviet Union under a license

The transport plane is almost identical in appearance to its American cousin, the C-47. Several airport staff helped Ron stand up and helped him limp onto the plane.

Compared to the sunny airport, the cabin of the transport plane was very dark. It took Ron a while to let his eyes adjust to the light in the cabin.

"General, please sit here." Several Soviets helped Ron to sit on a chair with leather seat cushions and leather back cushions. Ron looked around and found that the other seats around him were all straightforward.

Wooden goods without even paint.

"Where are the leather cushions on the other chairs?" Ron asked.

The Soviets laughed: "General, everything on the transport plane was improvised. They didn't have leather cushions to begin with. The leather cushions on your seat, General, were compensated to us by some idiots in the Army."

Seeing that Ron seemed interested, the Soviet man continued to tell the story.

"That was a few months ago, during the counterattack phase of the Kursk Battle. On that day, we transported some ammunition to a temporary airport near Belgorod. You may not know that the so-called 'temporary airport'

'It's actually a relatively straight stretch of road. When a plane takes off or lands, we seal both ends of the road and let the plane land. Then we drag the plane to a small piece of flat land on the side of the road that was temporarily pushed out with a bulldozer.

Then the road will be opened to allow other vehicles to continue to pass."

"That day, our plane had just landed, and before we had time to tow it to the temporary apron and park it, an Army daredevil drove the T-34 tank onto the road. When the tank passed by our plane,

He broke our tail fin. We stopped the daredevil and asked him to make compensation. But what could that daredevil have? He didn’t even have a bottle of volts.

Not in Kadu. Finally, their company commander came - a Caucasian man with a big beard - and after listening to our complaints, he said to us: 'Comrade, our soldiers broke your

Aircrafts should be compensated. In this way, you go to his tanks and look for them. In addition to weapons and fuel, you can take whatever you see as compensation.'"

"Look at this company commander, is there anything worth taking on the tank? Can we still take down the 85mm gun and put it on my transport plane to fight German tanks? Or pour the diesel in their fuel tanks?

Put it in our fuel tank containing aviation gasoline? Isn’t that right?

Are you looking for death? But the company commander was right about one thing, that is, the combat mission was very tight, and they did not have time to stop and bargain for a long time. So we had to accept his opinion and found it in the daredevil's tank.

Got such a pair of leather cushions.”

"Is there such a leather cushion on the T-34?" Ron was a little skeptical. Not long ago, out of curiosity, he went up to the Soviet T-34 to experience it. It was so simple that there was no such thing.

.

"This thing is not standard equipment in T-34, this thing is in your American products." Looking at Ron's confused expression, the familiar Soviet man continued, "That's what they got from other countries."
