Chapter 46
: The Eagle descends to the Calf and Hunting (please give me a monthly vote!)]
"Soldiers, what are the duties of soldiers?"
On the grass beside the airport of the Xuzhou base of Jiangsu Army Air Force, Zhou Qin, wearing a field uniform, looked at the 160 officers and soldiers who had been adapted into "Special Assault Forces of the Interior Forces" in front of him, and said emotionally.
"The state has four dimensions. If one dimension is eliminated, it will be inclined; if two dimensions are eliminated, it will be dangerous; if three dimensions are eliminated, it will be overturned; if four dimensions are eliminated, it will be destroyed. Soldiers also have four dimensions. Here I, I want to repeat the teachings, responsibilities, honors, sacrifices that the Prime Minister once taught, responsibilities, honors, sacrifices, and the country after I joined the Jiangsu Army! And this is the four dimensions of the soldier."
Staring at the officers and soldiers fighting in front of him, what emerged in Zhou Qin's mind was his speech at the opening ceremony of the Third Officer Education Corps of the Jiangsu Army. At this time, he gave the same words to these soldiers. His words were very touching. He knew that the officers and soldiers in front of him could understand the words in the speech. Most of them obtained junior high school diplomas and even obtained high school diplomas. The Jiangsu Army was no different from any other army. It was by no means an illiterate army. It was because of this that his soldiers knew why they fought and his officers knew what the responsibilities of soldiers were.
"... Maybe today may be my last name to you. But I hope you know that when I die, my last conscious thought must be of this unit - this unit - this unit... The glory belongs to you! My comrades! Let us use our blood to use our guards to protect this country with our lives..."
There was no applause or cheer. At this time, there was only the solemnity of the soldiers. The photographer in the distance took a camera to take a photo of this moment, and suddenly a roar came from the team.
"Interior Army!"
That was the roar of a soldier!
Then there was another roar of one hundred and sixty-one people.
"Long live!"
"Kill those bandits like women!"
Solemnity turned into cheers, cheers turned into ridicule. In their eyes, the so-called "enemy" were not worth mentioning at all. The rigorous training they received in the past that could be described as cruel, targeting the elite army of the army powers, but now, what they want to attack is nothing more than a group of bandits with inferior weapons.
"Okay, comrades!"
Just like in the Jiangsu Army in the past, everyone in this army was called comrades, especially for these elite troops, and even regarded this "name" as different from others.
"It's still the same sentence, I will be the first to charge!"
Officer! Officers are always in charge. This is the requirement of the Jiangsu Army. Officers need to set an example for soldiers!
Late at night, at 9 p.m., the sky was already dark, and only a little light of stars and moon could be seen in the sky.
160 officers and soldiers of the "Ministry of Internal Affairs Special Assault Force" drove onto assault gliders at the Xuzhou base. This should be the first actual combat airborne in human history. The target they targeted was not what the officers and soldiers imagined - the Germans. Although they were somewhat regretful, they could not let the so-called world's number one army power try to achieve the "sky soldiers descending from the sky", but in any case, this was the first, the first actual combat airborne.
"...We saw commandos with dark faces packing for this seemingly unremarkable military operation. The officers and non-commissioned officers walked among them, crossing the soldiers' backpacks and all kinds of equipment that only such special assault troops could be equipped, chatting about family matters or comrades with the soldier's friendship... Perhaps because this is the first time that some of them have been engaged in actual combat, many soldiers have no sense of determination, but no one would doubt their determination to complete the mission..."
A military reporter used a pen to record the expressions of the soldiers at the last moment before the first division set out. The military photographer who was standing by the side never put down the camera and camera at hand. The military reporter was a "creative" invention of the Jiangsu Army. He sent a large number of reporters directly to the front line and even trained reporters in the army. The purpose of this is not only to record the war, but also to propaganda, let the world understand this force, and through this propaganda, to change the Chinese people's prejudice against soldiers and the army.
At midnight on November 10, the assault soldiers of the First Airborne Division who were on standby at the airport extinguished the cigarettes in their hands. After drinking the glass of spirits that were only one or two taels of or the newly released "Dutch Water" in Lianyungang, they sat in their canvas seats in the cabin, and then looked at each other. Finally, in silence, people played various jokes. In this regard, the officers not only did not stop them, but further fueled the fire...
At 12:30, the silence of the airport was broken, and the searchlight illuminated the entire airport..."
Listening to the roar of the plane engine in his ears, Wu Anguo in the glider cabin looked out of the cabin, and then he began to wait, waiting for takeoff. Suddenly, the assault glider started to move. The movement was different from that of ordinary aircraft, just like... Before he remembered anything, he felt that the plane slowly took off the ground after it was balanced and glider slowly took off the ground. Finally, after taking off, the glider was dragged into the air under the tow of the transport plane, and then swayed from time to time.
The glider that was shaking left and right only made him stumble and stumble in his heart, who was used to the smooth flight of the transport plane, and his legs became weak. His throat was dry and he could only stutter in his heart.
"Blessed by the Buddha Society, blessed by the Guanyin Bodhisattva..."
While he was praying in his heart, the transport planes that took off from Xuzhou Base Airport and its towed gliders filled the night sky, flashing with red and green night flight lights. The planes that took off at the airport slowly gathered over the airport and buzzed the aircraft group over the wilderness. The people who were sleeping soundly in Xuzhou City and on the railway affiliation were awakened by the noise from the huge aircraft group passing over the sky.
The awakened people walked out of the house and stood in the yard and looked into the air. They could vaguely see the dim sky. Countless black dots flew from north to north.
"What is that!"
In a restaurant in Xuzhou City, a middle-aged man wearing a cotton coat looked at the sky in confusion.
"Boss, that's an airplane!"
The guy looked at the boss and quickly showed off.
"Airplane? It's been midnight, what's the plane flying!"
The middle-aged man muttered and walked into the house. When the man saw the boss entering the house, he stuck out his tongue and said softly.
"The old wealth in the countryside who has never seen the world!"
At 3:42 a.m., the glider carrying the Ministry of Internal Affairs Special Commando encountered strong winds when it arrived above Baodukou. At the end of the towing cable, the glider began to rush up and down, swing left and right. The glider passed through the strong wind and sometimes the pilot could see the taillights of the towing planes, and occasionally a rapidly moving full moon appeared between the gaps of the clouds.
In the shaking and unsteady gliding cabin, the fully armed airborne soldiers looked solemnly, either smoking cigarettes or meditating. The sergeants standing in the cabin began to make final mobilization.
"...Comrades. As your squad leader, I hope you will fulfill your responsibilities in this battle! This is our mission!... Good luck to everyone! After the battle, I invite my brothers to drink!"
At this time, the gray night sky was already white. The light shining into the cabin through the window allows the soldiers to see the expressions of their comrades. Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn. Although what they had to face next was just a group of bandits who lacked training, no one could relax at this time. In any case, this was a battle, and any unexpected accidents might occur in the battle.
At a height of thousands of meters, the transport pilot who towed the glider, after determining the target, three points of lights on the top of a mountain immediately contacted the glider through the light signal. After obtaining the signal, the glider pilot freed the towing rope. The next moment, the roar around the fuselage gradually subsided.
In the strange silence, the plane glided steadily through the dark night sky towards the target. At this time, the gray-blue glider was completely hidden in the night like an elf in the dark night, making no sound, but just approaching the target quietly, and the target was Hu Dugu.
Ginging at the dark night outside the cabin, the pilot directing the cross gliders glanced at the vaguely visible light signals on the ground. In order to get as close to the Baodukou as possible, approach the target, and avoid hitting the mountain, the pilot pulled the glider upwards, and then after obtaining the altitude, the plane dived rapidly. The earth suddenly raised. The fields and trees below quickly moved backwards at a speed of about 110 kilometers per hour.
"Hold tight!"
The pilot held his breath and shouted loudly. The two rows of commandos sitting in the glider cabin immediately sat together with each other with arms and soles on their feet, waiting to face their impact.
On the top of Mount Baodugu, carrying the second pole of Martini Henry's rifle, he was still as before, putting his hand in his sleeves, and his nose was running, and he was just thinking about when he could get back to the bed and warm for a while. A vague sound of wind seemed to be heard in the air. When he looked up into the air, a somewhat vague black shadow pounced towards the top of the mountain.
The black shadow, which was somewhat like a giant bird, quietly swept across the top of the tree next to the trench next to the top and rushed towards his position. He was completely frightened by the huge black bird, so he stood there and didn't even dare to move. The giant bird made a huge impact sound when it touched the ground, and then it slid in the field. When the giant bird smashed the water-collecting tiles in the field, it made a burst of crisp sounds. Finally, after dozens of feet of sliding heads, the giant bird stopped. At the same time, several black shadows slid from the air to the ground.
After the first glider landed on the wheat field on the top of the mountain, before the second pole that had come back to his soul, he heard a burst of shouts from the big bird in the field.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
Then a group of figures jumped out of the monster and rushed towards him. Looking at the figures like wolves and tigers, scared by the big birds, turned around and ran without even thinking about it.
"Monster..."
Due to the precise landing of the glider driver, the first batch of commandos equipped with the first glider were successfully airborne on the top of the mountain in just one minute.
In the air, the second batch of gliders approached the top of the mountain silently, making a dull and violent sound when gliding down and hitting the ground. A glider suddenly crashed into a cabin, and as a result, he brought a bed to the other end of the cabin. The bandits and hostages who were shocked by the huge impact were stunned by the monster that suddenly descended from the air to the top of the mountain. What kind of monster is this?
As soon as the plane landed, the airborne soldiers who were carrying submachine guns and machine guns rushed out of the glider they were on. The awakened bandits were almost stunned to watch a group of people rushing out of the monster's belly. It was only a silence for about minutes, but it was enough for the assault inmates.
As soon as the glider landed in the training ground, the top of the cabin was opened. The commandos then operated the machine guns on the top of the cabin and shot violently towards the buildings in the distance. The soldiers who rushed out of the cabin threw a grenade in front of them, and the battle began.
After being awakened by the sound of impact, Sun Meizhu instinctively pushed the woman beside her and jumped out of the bed. Before he could ask someone what was going on, continuous gunfire and explosion sounds reached his ears. The awakened bandits were bare-shirted and were about to fight back, but they were suppressed by extremely accurate firepower. When they were suppressed in the room, several commandos with submachine guns would approach the house, then throw one or two grenades into the room, and immediately rushed into the room after the grenade exploded, followed by a violent strafing.
The entire operation was perfect. Since we obtained information in advance, we had already known about the buildings on the top of the mountain, which were bandit nests and hostages. Moreover, they used wooden boards on the training ground to build the same training ground as the mountain building according to the reconnaissance photos, so the attack was extremely smooth.
"The boss...the boss...the boss...the boss...the soldiers are fighting..."
The Fourth Head of the House with a gun broke into the room in panic and shouted at Sun Meizhu.
"What! The fourth brother, what did you say! How could this be possible? Damn, who guarded the mountain road?"
The fourth brother said that Sun Meizhu only grabbed his collar and shouted loudly, "How could the officers and soldiers fight over? There is only one mountain road to go to in Hu Dugu. Even if the officers and soldiers have wings, they may not be able to fly up." Almost subconsciously, Sun Meizhu realized that these officers and soldiers must have been put up the mountain, otherwise how could they come up?"
"The great master... the officers, soldiers, are... coming from heaven!"
The untidy old four was shouting, with a full sense of fear in their voices. Everything came too suddenly. The heavenly soldiers who descended from the air to the top of Baodugu Mountain had obviously known the terrain of the mountain and almost rushed into the place where everyone lived at the first time. So everyone didn't wait for the reaction. Those people blocked them with machine guns and were then killed by bombs. Most of the brothers had not yet come back to their souls, either being shot or being bombed to death. More people were kneeling there, holding their hands up and dared not even move.
"God..."
Leaning on the ground and looking out through the crack in the door, Henry was stunned by what he saw. He looked at the soldiers who launched the attack. With the explosion of fireworks and the burning thatched house, he could clearly see that those people were extremely decisive when attacking, and the bandits had no power to fight back at all.
"Look, it's an airplane..."
Fang Jianlin shouted at several planes landing on the top of the mountain in the air. He watched the planes crash into the wheat field in surprise, and watched the soldiers rush out of the plane, and could not speak for a long time.
"Jiangsu Army! It must be the Jiangsu Army. No one has airplanes except the Jiangsu Army!"
Fang Jianlin shouted there, and at this moment, the wooden door was suddenly knocked open. When everyone in the temple was shocked, they saw two people rushing in one after another. They held guns and covered each other into the hall. Everyone was just looking at them, but they were looking at each other. At this time, no one dared to move, and no one would suspect that as long as someone moved, they would shoot.
"Safety!"
After one of them spit out these two words, Fang Jianlin saw the dark face under the helmet squeezed out a smile.
"Okay, you're safe!"
"Big... the boss! Baodugu can't be saved..."
Before Lao Si could finish his words, he heard a violent explosion from the outside, and at the same time, a burst of smoke rushed in from outside the house, and the commandos had already rushed to his room.
"Escape...and run toward it!"
Sun Meizhu sighed and said, can she escape? He wanted to go up the mountain and down the mountain. Even if he wanted to escape, he was afraid that he would be unable to fly. How could he escape?
Just as he was thinking about where to escape, the door was knocked open. The next moment, several people rushed in. As soon as the fourth brother raised his gun, a burst of rapid gunfire, Sun Meizhu saw the fourth brother fall down and blood emerged from her chest.
"Snatch the gun and don't kill..."
The shouts roared from the voices of those people, and several black barrels pointed at Sun Meizhu.
The gun fell from Sun Meizhu's hand. At this moment, he saw an official army coming over, holding a photo in his hand.
"Are you Sun Meizhu?"
"I, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the official army lifting the gun. Sun Meizhu immediately realized the danger. Before he could react, the gun was pointed at him. The gunshot sounded. Sun Meizhu, who had been in southern Shandong for many years, fell down, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"Dong..."
The sound of the butt stock was accompanied by the screams from the bandits. The rescued Chinese and foreign hostages looked at everything around them, and were in a daze. They didn't even know what was going on. But when they saw the bandits kneeling on the ground with their hands raised and then when they saw the soldiers tied the bandits with ropes, they still realized that their fate had changed.
"Gentlemen, I am Zhou Qin, the captain of the Special Assault Brigade of the Internal Affairs Force!"
With his right elbow pressed against the submachine gun, Zhou Qin looked at the hostages, and there were no casualties in the hostages, which was definitely a perfect rescue operation.
"You are saved, and you will be able to return to your family soon!"
Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Internal Affairs...
The rescued hostages wrote down this name in their hearts, and there were many reporters among them. At this time, they could always vaguely realize some things...
