Each transport plane maintained a long distance. When all the gliders of the first echelon were released, it was the paratroopers' turn to jump out of the cabin.?
The airborne order has been conveyed, and Ivanov's lead plane and more than 30 paratroopers are fully prepared.
"Now! The cabin is open! Comrades, check your parachute bags one last time! Wait for the green light to turn on before taking action!" the platoon leader roared mechanically to cover up the sound of the howling wind after the cabin was opened.
The Second Paratrooper Corps is one of the original paratrooper units. The training intensity has always been very intense, so the majority of officers and soldiers also have extremely high psychological quality. I have to say that this airborne landing is indeed very risky, because what awaits everyone when the plane is lowered is not a smooth road, but a smooth road.
Damn swamp! Being hung on a tree is not scary. As long as you can hold on to the trunk, you can get down. The most troublesome thing is falling into the mud, which is life-threatening.
The hesitant paratroopers used passive parachutes for airborne landing. Everyone pulled up the parachute hooks of their parachute bags, hung them on a guide rail in the cabin, and lined up.
There are four lights at the door. The red light is flashing all the time until the aircraft rebalances the air pressure and maintains absolute stability, and the green light suddenly lights up.
"Comrades! Act now!" the platoon leader shouted, "Myatov, you are the first! Jump!"
This soldier named Myatov was dressed like everyone else. His chest and back were mostly covered with heavy equipment. He had done airborne training many times and never made any mistakes. Only this time he had to gasp.
He breathed a sigh of relief and even hesitated a little.
"Myatov! What are you waiting for! Jump down quickly, or I will kick you down myself!" the platoon leader ordered.
"Okay! I'll jump right now!"
The young soldier closed his eyes and jumped. His parachute bag was pulled out by the drawstring. After only three seconds, the parachute was fully opened. Soon a huge white canopy bloomed in the air.
Myatov opened his eyes. He had already begun to drift in the wind. All that was left to do was to pray that he could land safely on the ground, preferably in a forest clearing, and never fall into the water. Just in case.
Just in case, he was always carrying a dagger, and if he was unlucky enough to fall into the mud, he would quickly cut off the messy ropes around him to save his life.
This soldier is only one-two thousandth of the entire brigade. At this moment, densely packed huge canopies have bloomed in the sky. Some transport aircraft are stuffed with cargo, and the positions where bombs were originally mounted on the wings of bombers such as TB3 have also been replaced by packaged ones.
Good supplies. These goods were also separated from the plane. Together with the paratroopers, they became dandelions floating in the sky.
At this time, the sun was only one step away from rising, and the airdrop operation was finally in full swing.
The first people to see this exciting scene were the people of Catfish Village. The soldiers and civilians all looked at the blue sky with their eyes wide open. Each team locked in on their target, estimated its approximate landing point, and began intense and meticulous search work.
After Yang Mingzhi and others received the emergency report from Catfish Village, everyone stopped staying at the division headquarters. Everyone went out in full force and stood outdoors waiting for the arrival of the aircraft fleet.
The airdrop of the first echelon has been completed, but the fleet will continue to fly. The door of the lead plane was closed again, and Ivanov continued to repeat the order, urging each echelon to airdrop in order.
According to the plan, the fleet will enter Novgomel from the southeast, and they will make a wide-range turn in the air so that the fleet can still maintain a stable formation and return home.
Little did they know that there was a certain danger in this. With the flight of the fleet, they could easily fly directly over the frontline position of the German 7o7 Division. Now that it was dawn, the German's famous 88mm anti-aircraft cannon would be intimidating once it seizes the opportunity!
Ivanov was not aware of these circumstances, and he had to ensure that this airdrop operation would deliver all the materials and personnel he carried safely.
The deafening sound in the sky came from the southeast wind, and Yang Mingzhi raised the telescope decisively. Two thousand meters is not high, and now he can even see the clues of the plane clearly.
At this time, a woman suddenly screamed. Yelentina could no longer restrain her excitement. She held up the telescope with her left hand and pointed at the blue sky with her right hand: "Look! The glider has broken away from the bomber! Look, someone has jumped out!"
"
Yang Mingzhi originally wanted to say that she was making a lot of noise, but luckily she held it back. In fact, everyone was ecstatic inside!
In that dimension, some American blockbusters vividly displayed the spectacular scene of the massive parachute drop of the 1o1 Airborne Division before the Normandy invasion! Now Yang Mingzhi can truly say that the movie did not lie.
There is no need for a telescope, because the entire blue sky is filled with "red dandelions"! Because the wind is blowing from the north, Yang Mingzhi does not have to worry about his fellow paratroopers drifting further and further away.
The paratroopers no longer need to worry, now everyone's attention is focused on the gliders.
Perhaps because the materials loaded were too heavy, when they lost traction and relied on gliding, each one of them dropped sharply. Three of them even changed direction obviously due to the wind, and actually crashed towards the blacksmith village as if they were guided.
The original excitement was gone!
"TF! This glider is like an albatross. It aims at us and rushes down! I'm afraid it's going to be hard on!" Yang Mingzhi realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything now.
Right under everyone's noses, a glider crashed directly into the woods a hundred meters outside the division headquarters building at an acute angle of thirty degrees. After a series of loud noises, no fire or smoke came out.
"Thank God, I saw that there are no dangerous objects in this cabin!" Yang Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He kicked a few people who were lying on the ground to avoid the explosion and shouted: "Cowards! All stand up, let's
Hurry up and see what treasures my superiors have given me!"
"Aren't you afraid? What if the airdropped ammunition explodes due to impact?" Yevlov was still lying on the ground. After speaking, he even directly grabbed Yang Mingzhi's legs and pulled him down alive, even with unusual dexterity.
Holding his quilt down. "Dear Davarich, listen to me now! I will send soldiers to investigate first. It is best for you and other senior officers to guard the division headquarters."
"Are you a coward?" Yang Mingzhi was very angry at this guy's reckless behavior. Even though he didn't seem to be in danger, he suddenly fell into a big mess and his coat was stained with mud. In the end, he was still
Please help my wife wash it.
Lyudbarev was still lying on the ground at this time. He said as a veteran: "Berekov, you should listen to the commander! Don't forget, there are some anti-virus agents in the airdrop list from the superiors, just one bottle
Bottle of ethylene oxide, didn’t you say that it would be catastrophically powerful when weaponized?”
When this old guy said it, Yang Mingzhi was speechless. He was right. Timoshenko, the commander who could reach the sky, had indeed sent a big killer weapon. Yang Mingzhi knew that the Soviet Union could actually develop air now.
The reason for burning weapons is simply because no one associates ethylene oxide with weapons. These compounds are too dangerous. If the glider leaks, anyone who approaches them rashly will die! It will not be burned into a wisp of light by the explosion.
Smoke is poisonous like bacteria.
Yang Mingzhi had no choice but to lie down, and everyone watched helplessly as a large number of gliders were having sex. These guys with exaggerated wingspans came into close contact with the forest one after another, but there was no burning or explosion. Everyone could hear it.
I just heard loud noises coming and going.
In this way, the three echelons were carrying out airdrop operations in an orderly manner according to Ivanov's order. The gliders of the first echelon landed one after another, and the paratroopers of the third echelon had just jumped out of the cabin. The sky was crowded with parachute covers, like a cloud.
A swarm of jellyfish, or a bunch of dandelions!
The aircraft fleet dropped supplies step by step, and under the cover of fighter jets, they began their tactical turn with a huge turning radius, and were ready to return home. 8
