Chapter 372: Airborne on New Year's Eve

Su Dao's strong statement made the officers below a little embarrassed. It was already past eight o'clock now, and they had to rush to various places to support before 11 o'clock in the evening. The airport in Kaohsiung is also located in Bayunbang, which is 720 kilometers away.

It would be fine if the airborne troops were on standby at this time, but they could board the transport plane in a few minutes. Even if the transport plane did not drive the speed to the maximum on the way, it would be fine to arrive in Bayunbang before 11 o'clock.

But today is New Year's Eve. On such a special day, even the people in the headquarters are still eating and drinking, not to mention the front-line troops below.

The pressure on weekdays is so great that I encountered the most grand festival of the year. The troops below are likely to have also drunk some wine. If they are sent to the battlefield in this way, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Of course, everyone hopes that this worry is redundant, but even so, it will be difficult for them to get there before eleven o'clock.

Because it takes time from the issuance of orders to the boarding of the troops, to the inspection and supply before the transport plane takes off, and so on, it takes at least one hour. Even if they shorten the inspection time and do not fill the fuel tank, it will take at least half an hour. In this way, there are only two and a half hours left, which is still quite difficult.

But this was Su Dao's order. No matter how difficult it was, they could not say much, because in the expeditionary army, Su Dao was even more similar to a symbolic existence. No one could disobey his orders, and no one wanted to disobey Su Dao's orders.

"Go and ask Qin Yu if you know the cause of this incident."

After seeing that the people below had no objection, Su Dao's mood calmed down a little. He immediately began to care about the cause of the matter.

For the Filipinos, there is no need to attack the expeditionary force's garrison regardless of the danger of their lives. Moreover, Su Dao did not think that anyone would not be afraid of death. After seeing death, he still rushed forward, as if life was not his.

Subconsciously, Su Dao felt that this matter was not as simple as they imagined. The riot was certain, but there must be some ulterior motive hidden secrets in it. Su Dao gradually became interested in it. He wanted to know who was the one who had the ability to set off such a huge riot in the Philippines, and there were riots at the same time in many places.

Not long after, the correspondent soldier who went to ask questions turned back again, still holding a telegram in his hand, and the expression on his face was still urgent.

"Reporting to the commander, Commander Qin said that the reason is being investigated, but there are many problems at present. There are no abnormalities before the incident. Neither the troops nor the local Chinese have found it, and so far, they have not received any reports from insiders."

The correspondent soldier opened his mouth to report.

"I see."

Su Dao nodded slowly and fell into deep thought again.

There was no abnormality. A huge riot suddenly broke out. Is it that they were too hiding? Or was the expeditionary force negligence in management?

In Luzon, although Su Dao dared not say that there are soldiers everywhere, as long as there are cities, there will be troops, and the population has decreased significantly. They cannot be unaware of it, and the signs after the riot seem to indicate a problem.

These people do not seem to be people within their jurisdiction. Because the expeditionary forces are not blind, nor are they unified, and they stipulate how many troops must be stationed in each place.

When the troops are garrisoned, the number of troops is determined based on the total population and geographical environment. In some large places, even one brigade is garrisoned, and in some small places, one battalion is garrisoned. These are not fixed, and when the judgment is made, they basically reserved at least one company of mobile forces.

In other words, no matter what happens there, as long as there is no large number of foreign populations pouring in, garrisons from all over the country can quickly control the local order.

However, the situation reported on the front line is completely inconsistent with their expectations. It would be fine if it was a place, but more than a dozen places were like this, which forced Su Dao to think about it carefully.

There was no report from an insider and no abnormalities were found. In other words, these people are likely from areas without garrisons. At the same time, they are very clear about the garrison's dynamics. They can avoid the garrison's reconnaissance in time and avoid any clues that may expose their whereabouts.

Although it sounds a bit mysterious, Su Dao seems to have no idea of ​​any better reason than this one.

Although some people can launch riots in more than ten places at the same time, no one can gather so many people quietly and then launch riots in more than ten places at the same time. This situation is simply impossible for ordinary people. Even ordinary interest groups, it is difficult to ensure that they can not reveal any trace of the wind.

Kaohsiung, Taiwan, military airport.

Rows of transport planes were parked neatly on the runway, and gas trucks were controlled by the soldiers, freely shuttled between the transport planes, constantly replenishing fuel to each transport plane.

A paratrooper took his equipment and endured his hungry stomach on board the plane. For them, there was nothing worse than a mission on New Year's Eve. And while they were having a meal, they had just taken a sip of wine and didn't even have time to eat a bite of food, but they received the order to assemble.

"The 096 aircraft is ready and you can board the plane."

The ground crew quickly checked the plane, and the soldier who was refueling next to him also took back the oil gun in his hand, and the ground crew leader reported to a sergeant.

Since the transport plane had already checked it when it landed, it was guarded by a dedicated person when it was docked at the airport, and no one had approached the transport plane at all. This time the task was relatively urgent. The order given by the superior was that it would take off within half an hour.

So the ground crew also quickly inspected the transport plane. Some small areas were just swept with big eyes, and they ignored them without any problems.

"Ship one is on the left, and the second is on the right, board the plane!"

The sergeant nodded, saluted the ground crew leader, and then turned around and looked at the two squad soldiers behind him. He ordered.

Due to the special nature of this mission, the superiors could not give them too much time to prepare. The gas truck also took off from the front to the back, filled up one transport plane and did not take any stops at all.

This shows the urgency of this mission. So far, except for the pilots who know they are flying to the Philippines, none of the others know their destination. Even the pilot himself, except for the Philippines, does not know other information. Where are they flying to the Philippines?

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the two squads quickly lined up and boarded the transport plane. Then they quickly sat down in their own position, their faces were cold and they could not see any thoughts.

However, in the minds of these soldiers, there was a big doubt. What happened? It would make them even throw New Year's Eve aside? Just now, before the dinner started, the battalion commander said that there was no mission tonight and each person could drink a bowl of wine.

Who knew that as soon as the battalion commander finished speaking, the mission order came. Many people didn't have time to eat, so they drank a sip of wine and ran out, then they collected ammunition and carried their own umbrella bags. Then they got on the plane, and the destination was unknown.

Moreover, the escort fighter this time is also quite painful. After the transport plane takes off, it will stay in the air for a short time, that is, for a few minutes. When enough soldiers from a battalion take off, they will form formations and fly southwards. The escort fighter is an f6f-5n.

Yes, there is only one escort fighter jet, and there are 26-30 transport aircraft he needs to protect. There is really no way for the Air Force. At this late night, they don’t have enough night fighters to escort.

This mission is inevitable, and in desperation, he could only create such a strange lineup. Fortunately, the US air base in the Philippines has basically been occupied, and they currently have no air power around the Philippines.

The reason why he only sent one night fighter to escort was not that he really wanted to protect these transport aircraft, but that he hoped to detect enemy aircraft within a certain range through the radar on the night fighter. Once an enemy aircraft was found, the night fighter would call for support. Of course, it was not his business whether the aircraft carrier combat squadron came to support or land-based ones.

Moreover, the United States does not have a large number of night fighters now, so it is unlikely to discover them.

"Old Zhu, where are we going?"

Li Changjun unbuttoned the button on his helmet, looked at the sergeant opposite, and asked in confusion.

There were no officers on their transport plane. Both squad soldiers were led by their respective squad leaders. Lao Zhu's rank was a sergeant and Li Changjun was a corporal. So at present, Lao Zhu was the highest commander of the paratroopers on this transport plane, so Li Changjun asked Lao Zhu about their destination, which was in line with the rules.

"I don't know, the platoon leader said that the ground would inform us of mission orders through the radio station of the transport plane later. I hope it would be a good New Year's Eve dinner, otherwise it would be delayed."

Old Zhu shook his head and said with a wry smile.

He joined the army one month earlier than Li Changjun, so he was a little taller than Li Changjun in terms of military rank. The two of them were originally soldiers of the same squad. After the expansion of the Airborne Division, their brigade was sent to Taiwan to form a new Airborne Division.

Li Changjun naturally also rose. With the experience of the Dalian Battle and the airborne Jeju Island, he was successfully promoted to corporal when expanding his army, serving as the squad leader of the recruits, and was listed as the target of the promotion inspection. This was really a bit of happiness for soldiers who had just joined the army for less than half a year.

"Your mission is here, guys."

As soon as Lao Zhu finished speaking, the co-pilot of the transport plane drilled out of the cab at the nose of the aircraft. In fact, only he could drill out, so the pilot naturally could not come out, and the rest of the crew members were gunmen or something.

The co-pilot didn't say much nonsense. After reminding the paratroopers on the plane to pay attention to the orders, he directly began to read the orders he had just received.

"Your mission is to carry out airborne about twenty kilometers west of Bayunbang. The fourth battalion of your regiment is also carrying out the mission with you. Okay, let me explain the mission for you. First of all, you need to note that the mission area you will be in the future is very important to us.

Because one-tenth of the Expeditionary Force's military rations are produced here, and a Chinese in the mission area also sold us a lot of military rations at a affordable price, so far, almost one-third of the military rations are produced here.

It is currently being besieged by at least thousands of thugs. The garrison in the manor only has one company of troops, and it is difficult for them to withstand the attacks of these thugs. Therefore, after you parachute, you should gather together as soon as possible and find a way to meet with them to ensure the safety of the manor.
