Chapter 579 Airborne Soldiers
"Company Commander Hu, the mountain wind is too strong. If you don't let us light the torch, we can't walk on this mountain road!" The soldier from the secret service battalion who acted as the guide was helpless.
"Lighting a torch will definitely alert the enemy. We can't let the division's plan fail!"
"There are several continuous cliffs in front. I used to train and build a rope bridge during the day. But it is too risky to go over them at night. Even if the enemy is on the mountain, he can't make it over the waves, don't you think?"
"Is there any other way?" Hu Yi asked instead without answering.
"Yes, yes, but if we take a detour, we might as well wait for dawn." The soldier felt unhappy. If it weren't for you, Captain Hu, who led the people to stop the Japs and made a meritorious service, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you! I still explained patiently: "I think, you are
Aren’t you overthinking it? There are so many of us in the mountains, even if he comes to the advance team, he still doesn’t come here to die?”
"You..." Ma Liang next to him was speechless.
"Then go there after dawn? It should still be too late!" Hu Yi interrupted Ma Liang and suddenly felt that he was being too cautious and became suspicious.
"Okay, there is a small shed on the mountainside below. It was built when we were training on the mountain. In this cold weather... How about... you go and take shelter from the wind first!" The soldier felt that Captain Hu in front of him was making a fuss.
"You guys? What do you mean? Don't you go together to take shelter?"
"I still have to rush back to be on guard duty!"
"You go back alone? It's not safe to be in the dark... Mule, give him your flashlight." The girl put her hands in her sleeves and kicked Luo Fugui tremblingly.
As for why she gave away her precious flashlight, the girl who always values material and equipment more important than her life, of course had other plans.
...
Anxian County, Japanese military camp.
In the conference room, dim lights.
The military flag on the wall is a little blurry.
Captain Nakamura sitting on the side of the conference table, er, should be a lieutenant now.
At this time, he felt a little nervous. As a former aviation soldier, his pride no longer existed.
Being able to achieve the position of captain, he shouldn't be nervous at all, but it's a pity that he doesn't have that stability.
As an elite paratrooper of the Fifth Flying Division, he was demoted to the army and reorganized into infantry, and even directly demoted to the occupied North China. It was a great shame and humiliation in his life! However, he could not blame others for this incident.
If his subordinates hadn't stopped him, he would have committed seppuku and confessed that he was the one who caused the lieutenant general commander to resign.
But after that incident, he was hit hard.
In the first half of the year, he returned from studying in Germany. Having learned the best airborne tactics, he went directly to the Pacific battlefield and secretly obtained a batch of German airborne equipment, so that the airborne troops could begin aerial training.
Since its establishment, the airborne troops have been regarded as a special force and have been placed high hopes by the base camp. The airborne paratroopers are affiliated to the Army Aviation Corps and the Marine Corps respectively. However, due to the lack of transport aircraft, the Army's usual airborne training is poor, and it is still almost stuck in the original basic tower jumping training.
.
Unfortunately, most of the "elite" paratroopers selected from the battlefield have the mental disorder of fear of heights. Even if they train reluctantly under the high pressure of military officers, they often have accidents and have to stop training many times.
And those idiots put the focus of the tactical and technical training of the airborne troops on the shooting and assassination of the infantry!
In order to speed up training, during a parachuting training, two transport planes collided shortly after takeoff. The paratroopers on board were "loyal" to the emperor before they even participated in an actual battle.
After a certain battle in the South Pacific began, the pilot misjudged the airborne landing site during an airborne landing and actually dropped the entire airborne unit into the sea! The plane that followed also "unloaded" all the paratroopers into the sea, killing dozens of people.
Elite drowned.
Two consecutive accidents caused the commander in charge, Nakamura, to be dismissed from his post, and also implicated the lieutenant general commander.
Base camp evaluation: Since it can’t function in the sea and jungle, then go to the plains of China and live a life!
However, the commander did not give up and relied on many connections to finally get him the opportunity to airborne and raid the Eighth Route Command.
For Nakamura, since he is still alive, the shame of the past needs to be washed away!
Scenes from the past flashed back.
Until an officer walked into the conference room with a lame second lieutenant.
Lieutenant Nakamura immediately stood up and bent down: "Mashiko-kun, I have long heard of your glorious victory. Please give me a detailed introduction to the situation of the Eighth Route Army's garrison."
"Old classmate, I kept you waiting for a long time!" Lieutenant Masuko bowed in return: "Matsujin's team, codenamed Shark, marched into the mountains ten days ago. They have arrived at the designated location. The radio has just been turned on. According to the message we just received, in the mountains these days
There is often heavy fog in the morning, so no one is sure whether you can achieve your goal tomorrow!"
"You mean, the weather in the mountains is bad?" Nakamura's heart skipped a beat. Is he so unlucky? It's not going well anywhere!
"Except for the weather, we also gathered other information based on our previous experience in hiking into the mountains." Lieutenant Masuko handed the document in his hand to this former classmate: "Up until now, the team has only been able to obtain some peripheral information about the Eighth Route Army.
, your air force should know better than me about other situations related to bombing in the mountains!"
Nakamura smiled bitterly: "Haha, after such a long time of preparation, if the weather is bad, the plan will be in vain."
"You should know that the raid in the first half of the year had brilliant results and caused such a big commotion! We even took the blame for the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, but it didn't take long for those Tubal Routes to pop up again. Otherwise, there would be no way.
I will put you at risk." Lieutenant Masuko looked helpless.
"I heard that the last time we raided the headquarters of the Eighth Route Division, most of the division was blocked in the mountains by a small group of Eighth Route Army?"
"You have never been to the mountains, and you don't know what's going on in the depths of the mountains. The terrain in many places is so dangerous that one man can guard the barrier, and ten thousand men can't open it?"
"I would like to ask for advice."
"We have repeatedly attacked with large forces from the road and occupied the county seat where the Eighth Route Army headquarters is located in the mountains. The Eighth Route Army can always escape into the mountains. The terrain in the mountains is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The last time's incident is not due to the ground covert troops. What they carried out was originally
Outflank mission."
"So that's it."
"It is extremely difficult to supply from the road. So far, although we have been able to capture the Eighth Route County town many times, the Eighth Route Army waged guerrilla attacks specifically to destroy the supply line. The Eighth Route Army also used strong walls to clear the fields and harassed them day and night. As a result, the warriors were unable to defend the county town. This is why we have no choice.
The reason for establishing a foothold in the mountains!"
Nakamura stopped mentioning this and changed the topic: "Since the headquarters has given me this opportunity, I will complete this mission no matter how high the price is."
"Captain Nakamura, you have to think clearly, the mountains are not plains, and this is probably a trap set by Tubal Road. The commander just wants to see if your airborne troops are useful!"
Nakamura had a sullen face: "I'm sorry, you should call us infantry lieutenants now!"
Lieutenant Masuko didn't care and was silent for a moment: "Well, as an old classmate, I think you should cheer up! If the weather stays like this, I think it is really difficult to have a chance."
Nakamura hesitated: "My team is all warriors who can fly in the sky. I will definitely seize this opportunity."
"As for whether there will be a chance, who knows? Opportunities are always given to those who are well prepared, don't you think?"
Nakamura saluted again: "I know you are not sarcastic, but thank you for giving me this opportunity to prove myself!"
"You don't need to thank me. This is the arrangement of the commander-in-chief. It is our duty and mission to be loyal to the emperor!"
"Thanks."
