Paul, he boasts that he has had two brushes with hell. Isn't this luck? Just like now, if he is being held by a young German girl, won't he make his comrades jealous?
Indeed, when he arrived at the headquarters, he was quickly "attacked" by whistles from his colleagues.
"Okay! You can go back and use the rest of my time!"
The nurse left. Looking at her back, Paul couldn't help but murmur to himself: "When the war is over, I will buy you a gemstone ring. This time, my military merit bonus should be enough!"
Paul had no doubt that the achievements he had made this time were huge. He finally calmed down, checked his tie again, covered the bandages on his body, and entered Koch's office despite the pain in his chest.
At this time, the office was quite busy, and several brigade staff officers and the captain were studying the map.
"Reporting to Captain! Pilot Paul Freitag reporting!"
"It's you!" Koch raised his head happily, "You finally rested! Now I'm waiting for you. Come over quickly and report your investigation information! I want to know a lot of details!"
It seemed that the pilot's injuries were very minor. Listening to his report, Koch also secretly planned his action plan for the second round of investigation.
However, as Paul held a pencil and kept pointing at the regional map, a large amount of highly valuable detailed information came crashing down on him like hailstones.
"Here! This is marked as Misi Village. I saw the Soviets using this ferry. Here! It was probably here that I was attacked by their ground fire. And here, based on the curve of the river, I can tell that this is the enemy.
There are even some obvious building complexes in the mine. I am very sure that this is the enemy's sulfur mine! And sulfur is an important raw material for making explosives..."
Koch's blood vessels boiled when he heard this. His aviation brigade has been equipped with aerial bombs weighing 500kg. This kind of explosive weapon is like a powerful volcanic eruption. As long as it is dropped in the right area, it can achieve significant results!
In fact, the air force on the front line is equipped with a large amount of 250kg and 500kg aerial bombs, allowing dive bombers to blow up the Soviet fortress in one attack. But in the air force at the rear, such as Koch's aviation group, his ammunition
The most numerous types of small bombs in the library are 10kg and 50kg. The explosive effect of these two bombs is very average, unless they can be dropped densely!
"Very good, we now know the location of the enemy's mine. Our air strikes are unlikely to change the landscape here. It is still feasible to kill all the enemy's miners."
Paul felt comfortable listening, and he asked: "Captain, when will we attack? You know, I can't wait to take revenge."
Koch rolled his eyes at him. This Paul was already an experienced veteran pilot. He could fly reconnaissance planes and even better fly fighter jets! Most of the veteran pilots under his command had been transferred to other units. What he had on hand was
A large number of novices who have not been flying for a long time and lack combat experience.
Koch did not answer immediately. He sighed, looking very embarrassed.
"What? Captain, do you still have concerns?" Paul continued to ask.
"Yes, there are still some concerns! Don't you think that the information we have obtained for the time being is still limited?!"
"What? It's still limited? Captain, I almost died in order to obtain this information!"
"Keep calm!" Koch said impatiently and harshly: "Paul! If we carry out an air attack, we must ensure success. You just flew a few times over the enemy's mine and were hit by the enemy's anti-aircraft fire.
Drive away! You have only determined its location, and the details are still limited! This time, I want you to continue investigating and find the buildings around the mine. I need their detailed locations! In other words, I need an aerial photo!
Therefore, I need you to investigate again!"
Upon hearing this, Paul was immediately indignant. He complained: "I almost died today. Do I have to go there again? How can I have good luck next time?!"
Koch did not answer, but walked up to Paul with his hands behind his back, his eyes as wide as bells almost sticking to Paul's face. This aura was so overwhelming that Paul couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Don't you want the medal?" Koch suddenly asked sharply.
"I think!" Paul came back to his senses. "But don't you think it's too dangerous?!"
"Danger?! Since you are a soldier, you can't complain about danger! Besides, medals are awarded to brave men. If you are willing to be a coward, then get out of here! There are only brave men in my aviation group!
Besides, this is not the first time you have been hunted down by the Russians. All your comrades are dead, so why should you be the only one alive? Because you must live to take revenge.
We were once beaten to the point of collapse by these Russians. Those Russians in the swamps were the troublesome people of our aviation group! We must avenge our fallen comrades!
Are you going to continue to back down? Don’t you want to take revenge?!”
After some fierce criticism, Paul realized that he could not refuse, even if he could use the excuse that he was ill. He made up his mind and said: "Of course I want revenge! I must take revenge!"
Koch showed a slight smile: "Very good! You go and take photos. These conclusive evidences will be able to prove that there is an important target of the enemy. Only then will I have a reason to report to my superiors. Only then can my superiors approve our air strikes! This is
It’s a dead order, you must fulfill it.”
"As you command!"
"One more thing, we must attach great importance to the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower that you are very worried about! So this time you can fly high. As long as you fly high enough, you can be immune to the enemy's anti-aircraft machine guns! I guess, the enemy's so-called anti-aircraft machine guns
, even our extensive MG34 machine gun, they can only use it to defend against aircraft!"
When Koch said this, Paul immediately thought of something.
"Captain, those anti-aircraft fires came from under the forest. I'm sure there are a lot of wooden houses under the cover of those big trees. They may have other anti-aircraft weapons. Also, after arriving in that area, the radio was suddenly covered by noise. I and I
Communications at the airport have been interrupted!”
"I've also noticed this problem!" Koch didn't intend to study the matter in detail after all. He guessed: "Since sulfur can appear in that swamp, I wouldn't be surprised if something strange happens again. Maybe there is magnetite underground, which
The existence will definitely interfere with communications. As for those wooden houses in the forest you mentioned, that is not the main target!
These Russians, they're like a bunch of rats, they know very well that dark sewers are a suitable hiding place."
Paul echoed: "If they are mice, we are cats, and they cannot escape the fate of destruction."
"Very good! I like your attitude very much!"
The headquarters was filled with joy. Regarding the second round of reconnaissance tomorrow, Paul forced himself to persuade himself and put on a confident look.
But he knew those Russians very well, and despising them did not mean that the enemy was really weak. Maybe he would never come back during tomorrow's investigation.
That night, in the airport bar, he still showed infinite confidence in front of his comrades. His comrades were also full of confidence in the highly possible air raid in the future.
"Whether we can fight in the future depends entirely on the results of your investigation!" More than 20 fighter pilots had a very unanimous attitude, and no one noticed that Paul was still injured.
His thoughts were both anxious and excited, and with these complicated emotions, he finally went to the hospital again, firstly for another checkup, and secondly to say goodbye to the woman.
An atmosphere of "heroes never come back" invisibly infected the man and woman. It didn't matter whether the Gestapo and the military police would inspect the battlefield. That night, they grew a lot...
