After paying a certain price, the transport aircraft group finally withstood the enemy's interception. Ivanov breathed a sigh of relief. They flew towards the swamp under the guidance of friendly aircraft.≥Net ＞
Soon, they saw the billowing black smoke rising in the distance, which was like a beacon. The entire fleet was excited, and the fighter jets continued to defend in a circular motion around the transport aircraft. The transport aircraft were waiting for the order from the leader - they took the lead.
airdrop.
"Okay, we have arrived at our destination, let's airdrop first." Ivanov ordered the crew.
Only his flagship aircraft has an airborne radio, which is mainly used to communicate with the target. At the division headquarters, Yevlov received exact information about the transport group, and the airdrop began immediately.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi was still waiting outdoors, and saw Yevlov running over in a hurry, with a smile on his face. "Good news, they have finally arrived."
"It's really great!" Yang Mingzhi was full of energy, and every pore was stretched. "If nothing happens in the next few months, our little life will be much easier."
"Of course, but they also lost some." Yevlov said casually.
These words aroused Yang Mingzhi's alarm. It was an established fact that the fleet was intercepted by the enemy, so what about the current situation? Yevlov pointed out that only one transport aircraft was lost, and it was still transporting tanks. "I really don't understand, the front army command
Does the Ministry think that the tank is too light, so it can be dropped from the sky with a parachute attached? Since the loss is a tank, it doesn't matter. The other supplies we need are intact."
Yang Mingzhi was more curious, how could we airdrop tanks? "We'd better wait, they will arrive above us in a while, and we can just collect supplies."
Everyone was looking forward to it. After a while, a Seagull fighter jet appeared in the sky. This was Bodovich's car. He landed at the airport smoothly and smoothly. The pilots quickly surrounded this guy with a happy face.
pull down.
"Let's go see our Air Force comrades." Yang Mingzhi said, and walked towards the plane. Behind him were Yevlov and others.
When he saw the pilot, Podovic said excitedly as if he had taken a happy pill: "I have done a great job, killing one and damaging another. Those Germans may be newbies, they can't hit me at all."
"
Yang Mingzhi actually saw a few bullet holes in the tail rudder of his plane, but there was no problem. This man should have achieved good results, so let him continue to be happy.
He then asked: "How long until our transport plane arrives?"
"Right now, five minutes at most." Podovic pointed to the blue sky, "They are airdropping, so they are flying very high. And because of the inertia of flight, their airdrop may have already started."
Just as he said, Yang Mingzhi looked at the sky. Soon, he and everyone saw several dark things with huge parachute covers. Troops! There were several of them!
"Damn it! These are tanks! Are they really throwing them down so openly?!"
Suddenly, Yang Mingzhi felt that these old men were really a fighting nation, and they always did things simply and roughly.
There were several dark things, with a ball of parachutes above their heads. It gave Yang Mingzhi the feeling that these were space capsules returning to Earth after completing their missions. But in the future of manned spaceflight, how heavy would those return capsules be? Now these are falling from the sky.
It's a tank.
Four tanks fell from the sky. Ivanov himself was confused and watched helplessly as his men airdropped them. They dropped them at an altitude of two thousand meters. The final tanks fell very fast, and they were also the first to hit the ground.
"Haha! With these big guys, our weapons will be stronger!" Jelentina looked at the tanks falling from the sky with her binoculars. She was not good at physics, and she only knew that the army lacked heavy weapons.
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help frowning. He and everyone saw that the tank had fallen into the forest, so they asked Yevlov: "Which troop is responsible for searching in the northwest of our camp?"
"It's the second battalion of the first regiment."
"Okay, let's go over and take a look." After that, Yang Mingzhi led everyone to find out. At the same time, a large number of "jellyfish" appeared in the sky, and large-scale airdrops began.
When Yang Mingzhi and other division leaders arrived at a target, the waiting soldiers were already standing on the tanks that had completed the airdrop.
They were just startled when a huge object fell down, smashing several trees and paralyzing them on the breakthrough.
The Second Battalion of the First Regiment, this unit was personally led by Yang Mingzhi not long ago and participated in the main attack on Kuta Town. Now, the battalion commander is in front of the tank. When he saw the division commander and others suddenly arriving, he immediately reported the situation.
There was still a look of fear on his face, and he could not help but tremble while reporting.
"Okay, I understand. Roshakov, don't be too nervous. These are heavy weapons given to us by our superiors. We need to check them now."
Roshakov took the order, but he didn't have anyone here who knew how to drive a tank. He could only lead people, and use the principle of leverage and the principle of strength in numbers to straighten the tilted tank.
The BT light tank was finally safely in the forest. There were no scars on its surface. It was seen that there were still many parachutes tied to its body, many of which had not been peeled off. The parachute cover was torn by branches and was untied.
When driving these horses, there is now a package tied to the gun mantlet.
Yang Mingzhi and others watched the soldiers on the side, tearing the linen bags with a knife, and took out several iron buckets with handles.
It’s self-evident. Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist and said, “Let me just say, they can’t just throw down a Tigada, there still needs to be fuel.”
The soldier brought out five small barrels and found a small box with high-quality packaging. When he opened it, he found that it was a book. The book was handed over to Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov. Both of them were happy. It turned out that it was actually a book.
Instructions for the tank.
"They are very barbaric in their work, but they still have a delicate side." Yang Mingzhi was very satisfied and immediately opened the book. The book was full of pictures and text, and it seemed to be an educational booklet for tank beginners.
Because of the needs of the war, tank crews have to go to the battlefield after simple training. Therefore, their education is very simple. The driver has to drive the tank and the gunner can shoot.
Here, the two girls who follow Yang Mingzhi, Yang Tao and Natasha, touch the Soviet tanks at close range. The BT tanks are small, and the tank pilots are also required to be small.
Yang Mingzhi looked around, and there were already many soldiers watching here.
"Comrades, have any of you ever driven a truck? I read in this "Tank Guide" that driving a tank is very similar to driving a truck."
As soon as he finished speaking, some soldiers raised their hands. Several people stood up and claimed that they were truck drivers in the army.
When the Soviet army was marching and fighting, each division had many trucks. They were members of the logistics force. Now that the war has reached the point, the logistics force has also become a front-line combat force. It is normal for these self-recommended people to appear.
Five people stood up, and in the end Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov chose a small man. Yevlov estimated that this man was just over 1.6 meters tall. He seemed to be weak as a soldier, but he was very good at driving a tank.
"Comrade, what's your name?"
"Chekov, sir."
Yevlov patted him on the shoulder and gave him a new appointment. "We now have a tank. If the tank runs normally, you will serve as a tank soldier!"
As a tank soldier, he was more advanced than an ordinary soldier. This young soldier named Chekov gladly accepted the order.
Yang Mingzhi smiled and said nothing. The army has a "laboratory" level air force, and now it has a tank force. Theoretically speaking, the 284th Division is really comprehensive. Is the next step to get some gunboats to patrol the inland rivers?
,
Chekov entered through the turret in a very unsightly manner, like a toad entering a hole.
The inside of the tank was very dark. In fact, there were electric lights inside, but he couldn't find the switch when he drove the tank for the first time. He simply kept the top cover open, knowing that there were other openings that could let in light.
The interior of the BT tank is very compact. It requires at least four warriors to fight here. A driver, a gunner, a machine gunner, and the commander who does everything. Chekov checked and found that there was nothing in the ammunition magazine.
This should be to reduce weight, so even the machine gun was removed. He actually knew that the tank machine gun was actually a DP machine gun, and the army had many of them.
After a while, someone shouted to him from the turret: "Comrade, we are going to fill you with gasoline!"
"Okay, I have found the cab, the operating lever and the accelerator and brake. You guys hurry up and give me gas!"
The soldiers filled the tank with gasoline, and then the soldiers left one after another. Everyone didn't know what Chekov was doing when he got into the hatch cover. After a while, everyone heard the roar of motivation.
Chekov opened the observation port of the cab and shouted outside: "I think our tank is safe and sound. It has not been broken."
Yang Mingzhi suddenly became energetic and said: "In that case, dear, you can drive this tank out of the forest."
"Okay, I'll do it now."
Chekov slowly stepped on the accelerator. In his opinion, the operating principles of driving a tank and a truck are very similar. However, it was also his first time to drive this thing and it needed to be adjusted. No, when he stepped on the accelerator, the tank suddenly rushed.
It broke a small tree and the tree fell down.
"Ho ho! Our driver is really savage." Yang Mingzhi shook his head regretfully.
"You don't have to call him barbaric. This is the first time this man drives a tank." Yevlov said. "Now you and I should be happy. This guy fell from a high altitude and can still move and walk. It's really a military miracle.
"
Yang Mingzhi looked at him with a wry smile and shook his head: "Well, I very much hope that all the airdropped tanks are safe. I heard that the ammunition was dropped separately. Let's get everything together and fight in the future. We also have armored troops.
