() When the bombing started, German Private Owens was playing poker with several teammates. Gambling is prohibited in the army, but playing cards is still allowed. Of course, Clear Water Poker, which is completely devoid of sex, is not exciting at all. So, this poker is still

There is a small chance of winning. However, this is really not gambling. In the words of Sergeant Cook, there are only a few Reichsmark games played, so how can it be considered gambling?

But Owens' luck was really good today. In just a short while, a small pile of Imperial Marks was piled in front of him. Owens raised his head and saw that Sergeant Cook sitting opposite had an ashen face.

It's almost all the money in front of Owens that he lost.

It was the turn to deal the cards again. Sergeant Cook shuffled the playing cards again and again, and then solemnly placed them on the small table. Several people gathered around the small table to distribute the cards.

The first card was an ace of spades, and then a king of hearts... In this round, Owens' luck was as good as ever, but Sergeant Cook's face became darker. Just after the cards were dealt, Cook

The sergeant suddenly stood up and slammed the poker in his hand to the ground. He also said viciously: "What the hell, don't play anymore! It's too much!"

Before Owens had time to speak, Christian next to him spoke first: "What's wrong? Why didn't you act like this when you won money yesterday? When you saw the cards were bad, you wanted to run away? Why didn't you leave before the cards were dealt?"

Cook turned around and glared at Christian, "Asshole, what did you say!"

"What did I say that you are deaf and can't hear?" Christian stood up without any sign of weakness.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Owens quickly stuffed the money in front of him into his pocket. While he was busy, someone suddenly hit him hard and knocked him to the ground.

"A fight?" This was Owens' first reaction, but he immediately knew it was not the case, because before he passed out, a huge explosion penetrated his ears. At the same time, he also saw that the barracks were like shattered pieces.

The paper flew like that

…

The bombs dropped by 8 PA-38s turned the entire military camp into ruins. There may be many German soldiers who survived in the ruins, but in a short time, they will definitely not be able to interfere with the commando's actions. Not to mention

In addition, the vibration caused by the explosion of an aerial bomb alone is enough to severely damage a person's vestibular function. Even if these Germans were unscathed, they would not be able to stand up for more than half an hour.

Now, the most direct threat to the commandos is the patrols on the streets.

Now, there are two patrols on the streets of Calais. Fortunately, at this time, they are at a certain distance from the Gestapo headquarters. This is an excellent thing for them, otherwise, the PA-38 in the sky

It would definitely give them a good look. They seemed to know this, so they moved towards the Gestapo headquarters very slowly - of course, this could also be due to the chaos on the streets after the air raid.

…

It had been several minutes since commando captain John entered the building. Just when deputy captain Wallace had begun to seriously consider whether to retreat first, the figures of several people finally appeared in his sight. The one walking at the front was

The captain, John, was carrying a person on his shoulders, and several other team members were behind him. One of them was carrying a big bag in his hand.

"Retreat!" John pulled off the gas mask from his face, and then threw the man on his shoulder to Wallace. It was a German military officer, but he was now unconscious.

"What's that?" Wallace asked, pointing to the big bag.

"I got some documents conveniently, but I don't know if they are of any use."

The commandos quickly withdrew from the fence, climbed onto the truck, and drove off in the truck.

…

The German troops in the city were unable to respond quickly, and the German troops outside the city were naturally unable to react quickly. At this time, under the escort of several PA-38s, the truck carrying the commandos received two snipers in the church.

After taking his hand, they rushed all the way out of Calais. The German checkpoint at the intersection had long been smashed by shells falling from the sky, and it did not stop them at all.

Retreating is more difficult than attacking. German troops are gathering near Calais, and it is impossible to completely suppress them with the 21st Attack Wing alone. If the retreat is slightly slower, the consequences will be

It’s unimaginable. If this attack had happened a few years earlier, the possible retreat plan would probably look like this:

The commandos find a place to hide, wait until dark, and then go to a certain beach, and then the Royal Navy will pick them up in a small boat. But now, with the establishment of the "Atlantic Wall", a coastal Maginot Line of defense

, it is no longer possible to go to the beach and take a boat. It is also impossible to go to Switzerland like in "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth". Switzerland is too far away, and it is extremely difficult for a group of Americans to get there safely.

So now, the only way to retreat is in the air. According to the retreat plan, the commandos will first retreat to a forest clearing on the outskirts of Calais. Over that clearing, 8 British "Lysander" mkiiisd contact

The machine is waiting quietly.

The "Lysander" liaison aircraft is a single-engine, high-wing, low-speed, two-seater light aircraft. Its wing shape is designed to be rather peculiar, with the purpose of enhancing its flight performance at low altitude and low speed.

The characteristic is that the thickness of the middle section of the wing is the largest, gradually thinning toward the inner and outer sides of the wing, and the thickness at the wing root is only half of the middle section.

The low-speed takeoff and landing performance of this aircraft is extremely good, just like a biplane. It can take off and land on a very small piece of grass, and is often used by the British to transport intelligence personnel to German-occupied areas.

Or it can pick up pilots who parachuted over Europe who were rescued by the resistance organization. The mkiiisd model is a very small-production model designed to pick up espionage personnel. sd stands for "special duties". It is similar to the prototype.

Compared with the mkiiisd type, there are many improvements. The biggest change is the removal of the machine gun in the rear seat, which increases the rear cockpit space enough to seat 3 people, thus increasing the rated number of passengers to 3 people. There are also

A foot ladder was added under the cockpit to facilitate espionage personnel to quickly get on and off the aircraft. In order to increase the range, an auxiliary fuel tank was mounted on the belly of the aircraft. In addition, armor was installed on the belly and cockpit, and the airborne radio communication equipment was also improved.

.

In the past, the "Lysander" mkiiisd liaison aircraft always transported personnel at night, and only one was used at a time. But this time, relying on the Allies' absolute air supremacy, the maximum speed is only 300 kilometers, and the maximum flight

Planes with an altitude of no more than 4,500 meters actually took the risk of flying out in groups to perform missions during the day.

When these planes landed in this small open space, they were discovered by several French police officers who turned towards the Germans. These despicable traitors did not dare to find out on their own. If they had such courage, they would have

They would not be considered traitors. So they only dared to call their German masters.

A group of German military police stationed nearby got on their BMW motorcycles, set up mg-42 machine guns on the side of the motorcycle, and rushed along the road towards the place where the plane landed. However, in the sky above this area, there were several PA

-38 attack planes were cruising and flying. As soon as the motorcycle convoy went out, these attack planes were no longer watching.

Four PA-38s dived down from the sky in a column. The leading PA-38 fired rockets first. After it fired all the rockets, the aircraft quickly pulled up and used a

A beautiful somersault, turning towards the rear of the fleet. At this time, the attack aircraft originally following it also began to fire rockets towards the ground target...

When the second PA-38 fired all 20 rockets hanging under the wing and then exited the attack with the same somersault action, the third PA-38 did not continue to fire rockets. Because the road was now

There are no more cluster targets suitable for rocket attacks. All the German motorcycles were either blown up or overturned on the road and in the ditches on the roadside. Those usually arrogant chain dogs (French Resistance Organization)

The German military police (the name of the German military police) either lost their lives directly in the air raid, or were injured, lying helplessly on the road groaning. However, a small group of people who were more agile and reacted more quickly when the plane dived down.

At that moment, the guy who decisively abandoned the car and escaped ran into the forest on the roadside at a speed that broke the world's 100-meter obstacle course record. The trees in the forest opened huge dark green umbrellas, blocking the sight of the American attack planes.

Saved these guys' lives.

But there are only a dozen or so guys who survived. They lost their motorcycles. If they still want to complete the mission, they have to walk through the forest. And doing so will make their progress very slow.

, it is estimated that they will not be able to reach the remote forest glade in less than an hour and a half.

…

The truck carrying the commandos stopped at the edge of the woods. The commandos jumped out of the truck and entered the forest under the leadership of two drivers sent by the resistance organization. They walked in the forest for about ten minutes.

At this time, a cuckoo's call came from the front. The two members of the resistance organization immediately responded by imitating the cuckoo's call. Then two pairs of people with daggers in their hands came out from behind the big tree in front.

The resisters mounted submachine guns. They nodded to the commandos and led them forward. After a while, a forest clearing appeared in front of them.

…

SS First Class Captain Frederick stood in front of the Gestapo headquarters building, watching people continue to carry out the burnt bodies of the war dead from the building. His face was pale, and he couldn't help but wonder what would happen if

If I had gone out even ten minutes later, would I have turned into such a burnt corpse? It was obvious that the enemy was coming for that woman. Surrounded to rescue her, the enemy dared to make such a risky move.

Here, it was not difficult for him to see how much the enemy valued this woman.
