Chapter 62 Chicken Operation
Airborne at night in Sicily is definitely a dangerous choice. The Italians have already gained enough experience in the battles of the Confederates. It is not bad that they deploy "disc air defense capsules" along the road and near support points on the road, although it is absolutely not a pleasant thing to be fired by a 12.7mm dual machine gun.
However, when facing the "disc air defense capsule" used by the Italians, it often makes people feel headache. They do not suddenly take off the air and launch attacks on US fighter jets or the ground like the Japanese. Relying on the superior performance of the Seraph Piston fighter attack aircraft used by the Italian Flying Team, these "disc air defense capsules" are often at low altitudes.
The Italians arranged a camouflage net on the top of the "disc air defense capsule". The cloth strips and cloth strips on it were specially designed according to the vegetation in Sicily. According to the pilots' observation, these things were 100 meters away, and there was no way to distinguish them from real trees.
Even more affordable, Italians sometimes hide their "disc air defense capsules" directly in the canopy. It is almost impossible to detect. Even at a very close distance, as long as they do not fire, even if someone walks under the tree, they will not be easily discovered. A small team in the "pirate army" not far from their target is quietly telling their target.
It is probably because the Japanese used defense methods on Guadacanal on TV were reported too deeply that the air forces of various countries had built some hidden airports in the forest. This is a bit incredible, but it is unquestionable that on the cruel battlefield, the more things others think are impossible, the more likely they will happen.
It is like quietly crossing the defense lines composed of "disc air defense capsules", most Italians do not believe it. After all, it is definitely not an easy task to penetrate from the low-altitude defense lines composed of "disc air defense capsules" with sound detectors. However, the "pirate troops" of the US military have accomplished this feat.
In the forest at midnight, it is definitely not a fun place. Especially when you cannot use lighting tools, you can only rely on hearing or even smell to "observe". Even if you occasionally turn on the flashlight that emits green light and identify the path or the middle, they will cover it with their hands, leaving only a trace of light.
Even the lantern was covered by the skin, and the dim light leaked was just a line. I hurriedly looked at the map and hurriedly closed it.
There is a layer of mist in the forest at night, and there is something that appears from somewhere on the fog, carrying a little pale color. The thin mist is like a charming witch, often surrounding people. These white mists seem to be glowing, giving a feeling of extreme mystery. In fact, this is just a reflection of some moons in the small droplets of the fog, which forms such a wonder.
Perhaps it is this kind of wonder, coupled with the fantasies of some people, that can create some terrible stories and legends. At this moment, these strange and pale mists are stirred by the soldiers' legs. Occasionally, waving their arms will bring a cloud of mist flying in the air, just like the white wings made of mist.
Lieutenant John, who was walking in the front, was the kind of officer who was trained in the "Devil School" of the Chinese Federation as the "fire" of the US special forces. When he was moving, he was quick and quick. But when he came down, he was motionless like a stump standing there. But from his bright and clear eyes, he was trying to distinguish and identify with all his feelings.
"There is a disc air-drought capsule!"
Of course this is not said with your mouth. The gestures seem to indicate the number "7". The three fingers are put together to express the "disc air defense capsule" in front of you. The direction of the fingers, in the eyes of most people, looks just a cloud of blurred darkness. It was not until the soldiers got closer that they could smell a faint smell of motor oil from the night wind.
They stopped one by one, looked at Lieutenant John in front of them, waiting for his orders. Although there was a layer of white mist floating in the forest, with the light cast by the night, they could still see the road ahead. But at this time, everyone understood that this required careful progress. There were often nails or other thunders in front of the Italians' positions.
"Around it!"
Lieutenant John tapped the microphone of the communicator and told his soldiers that he was not sure to get close. A small group of people opened the distance again and walked away from the dark and terrifying thing under the night. They held weapons in their hands, bent down one by one along the path pointed out by Captain John, and moved carefully. The steps under their feet were moving carefully, afraid of stepping on holes or simple branches. Perhaps what they were worried about was that some noise would wake up the monsters casting these mists in the forest.
Although they took a few roads, they finally arrived at the place where they expected to act before dawn. At this time, flames were already burning on the airport, and there were obviously other teams with the same goals and similar tasks as theirs. Rockets dragged their tongues of fire from the darkness and flying airports far away. Compared with Seraph's Piston-type combat attack aircraft, the Seraph Piston-type combat attack aircraft, which has a short road due to its own quality, the road to the airport to which the "timely rain gunboat aircraft" looks like a giant python hidden in the forest at night.
The rocket's flames rose from all directions, and then large fireballs rose up from the airport. This reminded Lieutenant John, who seemed relaxed because of the infiltration mission, recalled some characteristics of the Pacific battlefield. The Pacific battlefield, because of the wide and unsuccessful jungle, was relatively easier to penetrate. But in Italy, infiltrating became difficult, but in Lieutenant John's eyes, the Italians were not as good as the US military in dealing with rocket attacks.
In the jungle of Guadacanal, the US military often encounters similar attack methods adopted by Vietnamese Jungle Regiment. It seems that after Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey was used in Sicily, the effect was also very good.
This is a direct command of Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey, with naval characteristics. The tasks in the early stages of this operation were directly commanded by William Frederick Halsey, Naval Command of William Frederick Halsey. In addition to the "infiltration of pirate troops", the British "Special Assault Brigade" will then launch an attack on the pass on the army's road to advance.

Lieutenant John's habit is to talk much, and those who can use gestures do not use radio. Although the power of electromagnetic control on the battlefield is in the hands of the US military at this moment, he still habitually uses this method to command his subordinates.
The same was true when fighting on the Devil's Journey. However, now there is a helmet with the armor of "Dragon Armor-t" that is separated from the outside (also known as the rabbit head), and the dialogue is sealed by a mask. No matter how loud the voice is spoken inside, there is no way to hear the outside. However, before these equipment, the older generation of members of the Devil's Journey, like Cheng Tianyun or the current old thief Aqi, had the habit they taught Lieutenant John.
In the lingo of Devil Journey, the less nonsense you talk on the battlefield, the greater the chance of survival. Of course, this does not include snipers. Everyone knows that their bad habits are the "occupational disease" that their entire profession has. With the protection of the special armor helmet of "Dragon Armor-t", their nonsense will only be more.
The departure of two combat teams of a team made the sniper team easier. In the team led by Lieutenant John, two snipers had a 12.7mm semi-automatic sniper rifle in their hands. This is the imitator of the Chinese Federation's equipment lifting gun "Scorpion Tail X", which can be precisely aimed and fired at a distance of 1,650 meters.
Of course, the United States made it itself to only accurately shoot 1,500 meters, while the maximum accurate range of the latest generation of "Scorpion Tail x-iii" of the Chinese Federation has been increased to 1,800 meters. The weight is made of a large amount of high-hard aluminum alloy, composite materials and a large amount of titanium alloy, and the weight of the entire gun is much lighter than the previous "Scorpion Tail x", which is why the Chinese Federation will definitely not export strategic resources.
Lieutenant John's squad carried out the most incredible mission. Like many other combat squads, they infiltrated near the Italian "timed rain gunboat" airport.
Because the Italians were in a bid to prevent the US military from attacking the airports of "timely rain gunboats", they built multiple airports of "timely rain gunboats". However, there are many airports for Italians, and there are also many "pirate commandos" of the US Navy. The mission of the "pirate commandos" is to infiltrate multiple combat squads at the same time. Some of the squads carried out initial rocket attacks, causing trouble for the other party's takeoff, which prevented them from lighting the airport and repairing roads.
