Arc of Gunfire

The commander of the Fifth Air Force came to the airborne hunter colonel and said seriously: "You can refuse this mission, because the planning time is too short, and it is basically a suicide mission. Just to confirm whether Rokosov's tank is fake, to be honest, I personally don't think it is worth sending airborne hunters."

Jade Colonel: "General, we have carried out night glider airborne for such a long time just for this day. Moreover, we are familiar with night combat and have received long-term wilderness survival training. It is too early to assert that this is a dead end."

The commander hesitated for a few seconds and asked: "Are you going to glide and land outside Yeisk, and then approach the city on foot?"

Colonel: "Yes, we believe that there must be Ant's sound array master in Yeisk, so Rokosov can always be prepared to accurately kill low-flying reconnaissance aircraft.

"So we have to land outside the range that the sound array master can monitor. The intelligence we obtained from Ant's assistants shows that although the monitoring range of the sound array master is different for each person, the range is generally not as good as our new radar, so we just need to land outside this range. "

The colonel drew a semicircle on the map.

Commander: "How do you solve the navigation problem? How do you know where you are in the dark?"

Colonel: "The person responsible for towing the glider will carry a sextant to correct the position of the aircraft through the stars."

"Sextant..." The commander was amazed, "What an ancient device."

"It works." said the hunter colonel.

The commander stared at him for a few seconds and gestured to the orderly: "Bring some wine. And you can go back and rest."

The last sentence was said to the surviving Stuka pilots.

So the pilots got up and left the headquarters. They could be heard talking outside the door, discussing what Rokossov was going to do with so many armored forces.

"What can we do? Attack. In the winter campaign last year, he was the general with the most fruitful results in the entire Ant offensive. It was a pity that he was not allowed to command the subsequent counterattack. "

"I heard that he was transferred back to execute the derelict General Ant. He will personally shoot the wrongdoing General Ant with his service gun! That's what the captured Ante pilot said!"

"Now Rokossov is going to attack again. I don't know if our airport will be attacked by him."

The airport where the Stuka is stationed is quite far from the front line, but the pilots are still worried that Rokossov will attack.

The commander was listening to the pilots arguing outside when the orderly came over with wine: "General, the wine is ready."

The commander picked up two high-heeled glasses, handed one of them to the colonel personally, and then raised his glass: "To your courage!"

The colonel replied: "To His Majesty the Emperor! "

Whether it is pilots, airborne hunters, or air force field divisions, the Air Force believes that they are the most respected branch of the military by His Majesty the Emperor and are the emperor's personal guards, although they do not have the "royal" title.

As for the newly formed Asgard Knights, they are all little brothers.

After drinking, the colonel put down the glass, saluted, and then turned to leave.

The commander of the Fifth Air Force watched him leave.

At 2200 on the evening of the 25th, Wang Zhong yawned loudly and walked to the bed in the corner of the warehouse-he slept in the warehouse at night these days, so as to save the trouble of moving around.

Every morning when he got up, he would go to the curtained corner of the warehouse to take a shower to keep clean.

The main reason was that the weather was hot and he couldn't stand it without a shower.

Wang Zhong lay on the camp bed, closed his eyes slightly, and then habitually switched perspectives to observe his troops.

Although he could not see the specific soldiers, he could only see the symbols of each unit, but the terrain and street scenes were all clear, so this The "pre-sleep inspection" can deepen Wang Zhong's grasp of the terrain.

He can even quickly go through the terrain of the entire army deployment area and understand all the ups and downs.

After such continuous "inspections", Wang Zhong can be sure that he is the person who is most familiar with the ups and downs of the entire area.

Although I don't know when this advantage can be used, it is always an advantage.

Wang Zhong was inspecting when something suddenly flashed across his vision.

He was startled and quickly raised his vision to look for the flashing thing. As a result, he found that it was four bombers, each towing a glider!

Wang Zhong was sweating coldly. In order to confirm whether I really assembled so many tanks, you actually sent out airborne hunters?

Do you have to be so serious!

He immediately jumped up from the bed, but the movement of standing up was too violent, and his head was deprived of blood for a moment, and he tilted to the side.

A short guy supported him.

When Wang Zhong recovered, he looked down and saw that it was Nellie.

"Thank you! "Wang Zhong stood up straight, and then found that Popov and Pavlov were looking over here.

Wang Zhong: "Air raid!"

Pavlov and Popov looked at each other, and the latter said: "Brother Peter didn't hear it. Although he went to rest at night, he would use headphones to connect to a smaller sound array system when he slept, so he would hear the enemy planes' loud noises."

Wang Zhong: "No, no, no, I... I dreamed that four enemy bombers were towing four gliders to attack us! They were probably airdropped to confirm the authenticity of those tanks. Immediately send out a warning force equipped with flashlights and torches! Look for the glider!

"I guess the enemy will release the glider outside Brother Peter's hearing range and let the glider land silently!"

But Wang Zhong stopped immediately. The glider may be silent during the gliding process, but there is a sound when it hits the ground! Brother Peter will definitely hear it.

"No!" Wang Zhong corrected himself, "The enemy will not land within Brother Peter's hearing range, as this will alarm the monk. They will land within Brother Peter's hearing range. The enemy does not know how far Brother Peter can hear, so they will use a more conservative number."

The people in the room who did not have important work looked at each other, and finally Pavlov said: "You heard the commander's order, dispatch all troops, carry lighting tools, and look for the enemy's glider!"

Vassily: "Wait a minute, just because the general had a dream, dispatch?"

Wang Zhong: "No, I'm just in case, I'm not sure the enemy will land by air, not sure! But it's better to be prepared, right?"

Pavlov: "Yes, it's better to be prepared, dispatch the troops! Not only the troops in Yeisk, but each division also sent out night patrols to search their own defense areas!"

At this time, the phone rang.

Pavlov picked up the phone: "Is it Brother Peter? No? Army Headquarters, who? Report!"

A few seconds later, Pavlov put down the phone: "The sentry of the 225th Division saw a dark shadow moving in the sky! And heard the sound of the engine!"

Wang Zhong slapped his thigh: "See, I guessed it!"

Vassily stared at Wang Zhong: "Did you really guess it?"

Wang Zhong: "Of course! What else could it be?"

Vassily gestured in front of him and forced a few words: "Blackbody radiation? Quantum entanglement? De Broglie transformation? Or some other high-energy physics phenomenon I don't understand."

Wang Zhong: "Whatever! Move out quickly! Destroy the enemy's airborne troops!"

Plossen Airborne Hunter Squadron, inside glider No. 1.

The glider pilot suddenly shouted: "Colonel! Come and see!"

The colonel immediately came to the cockpit and pressed the chairs of the two pilots with his hands: "What's wrong?"

"Look!" The pilot pointed to the ground, "It's all running lights! We've been discovered! Landing now is courting death!"

The colonel gritted his teeth: "No matter what, continue to land! Anyway, we have no power and it's impossible to fly back."

The pilot cursed and pushed the joystick forward.

The colonel turned to face the airborne hunters in the cabin: "I don't know why the enemy discovered our actions. Now I judge that the original mission can no longer be completed, so I decided to change the mission target with my authority.

"Survive, take advantage of the night to get rid of the pursuit of the Ants, and try to return to the friendly team! That's it!"

The pilot shouted: "It's time to land! Hold on! "

The next moment, the fuselage shook violently. Although everyone was wearing seat belts, they were still shaken.

Suddenly, someone's seat belt fixing bolt was torn off, and it bounced back and forth in the cabin, and finally hit the colonel's helmet.

The colonel straightened his helmet, grabbed the handle above the cabin with his right hand, and relied on the strength of his legs and arms to maintain a standing position.

Suddenly, the fuselage sank down, and the entire tail lifted up!

The pilot shouted: "Why is there a hole!"

The hole made by the field mouse directly made the plane that was gliding horizontally on the ground stand up and stick into the ground.

All the airborne hunters were "hanging on the wall", literally "hanging on the wall".

The hunter whose seat belt just flew off fell directly and fell heavily beside the colonel.

The colonel remained calm: "Everyone, follow my orders and move your body, we can make the plane level again! Listen to me, one, two——”

With everyone shaking in unison, the tail of the plane really began to sink, and then the fuselage snapped and broke into two sections.

The back half fell down, and the front half was still hanging.

The colonel shouted: "Don't panic! People on the first floor unfasten their seat belts first! "

Just then, there was a light outside!

Light shone into every window of the glider, illuminating the entire cabin.

The next moment, a machine gun swept over, making a series of bullet holes in the cabin wall.

A hunter who was unbuckling his seat belt stopped moving, and blood flowed down the cabin wall.

Ante was shouting outside, and the colonel couldn't understand.

He kicked the cabin door open, got out with a gun, and started shooting at the figures in the wilderness.

The firepower of a submachine gun immediately called for a violent counterattack.

The colonel was shot several times, and his body was shaking like a rickety.

Under the impact, he leaned against the open cabin door of the plane, and when the Ants stopped shooting, he slowly slid down.

The white edelweiss was still inserted in his collar.
