Chapter 280 Airborne Soldiers

Airborne troops, also known as paratroopers, mainly use airborne to the battlefield as a combat method. Its characteristics are lighter equipment, highly mobilized, and elite troops.

During World War I, two soldiers jumped off the wings of a biplane and carried some explosives to destroy the enemy's warehouses. This action caused a sensation at the time. In 1927, the Soviet army used transport planes to drop air forces in Central Asia and annihilated rebels such as Batuma Red bandits in one fell swoop. This was the first real airborne war that appeared. In 1930, the Soviet Airborne Forces officially established the world's first formal paratrooper unit. During World War II, the Soviet Union, Germany and the United States used airborne forces many times.

The super-motorization ability of the divine weapon from the sky makes the cavalry quick and fierce, and the motorized forces galloping out.

Airborne combat puts the long-standing combat principles such as the importance of the highland in military, the use of obstacles, the use of reserves, the coordination of supporting firepower, flanking cover, and the use of feints and surprise attacks in a completely different position. The wide rivers, mountains with high penetration into clouds, and the difficult rainforests are no longer a problem, because there is always an exposed sky above our heads.

According to Ye Feng's order, the newly established First Air Force Marine Regiment began its first actual combat today.

The soldiers of the First Land War Regiment were all veterans selected from various infantry divisions. They were experienced. After just a few months of training, they were basically qualified paratroopers, and the First Land War Regiment was also a veritable airborne regiment.

Each C-47 transport aircraft can carry almost one infantry platoon, and the first batch of soldiers took off from Xiaoshan Airport reached more than 1,000. There were dozens of aircraft in total, and after taking off, they completed formations in the air and flew towards the distance.

The dozens of transport aircraft were the "air fortress" bombers of two squadrons. After taking off, a total of 48 bombers immediately formed a formation and caught up with the dozens of transport aircraft that took off first. They formed a huge group of aircraft to fly north.

The situation at Ningbo Airport is similar. Dozens of C-47 transport planes were loaded with more than 1,000 soldiers from the First Land War Regiment. More than 3,000 soldiers from the First Land War Regiment boarded the plane at the same time in two places. Departure from Xiaoshan Airport and Ningbo Airport.

This time, everyone’s goal is Xuzhou, a place that military strategists must fight for.

Hangzhou is about five to six hundred kilometers away from Xuzhou. The main fighter of the newly formed 6th Army, the Messmit BF-109 fighter jet, is too short for a short range and the "Air Fortress" bomber with certain air combat capabilities, temporarily acts as an escort aircraft.

The weather in early October is clear and clear. The huge fleet of aircraft flew across the Yangtze River and headed north, maintaining a flight altitude of about 5,000 meters, and flying towards Xuzhou at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour. After more than two hours, the fleet reached the sky above Xuzhou.

Xuzhou Airport.

This is one of the largest airports of the North China Front Army of Japan. It parks at least one-quarter of the planes of the entire North China Front Army, nearly a hundred aircraft, including fighter jets, bombers, transport aircraft, and even reconnaissance aircraft.

The weather is sunny today, and the Japanese at the airport are as usual, basking in the sun when they should be and going out to stroll around where they should be.

In the entire North China region, Japan has absolute air supremacy. The national army in North China has almost no decent aircraft. The pilots of Japan have rarely had combat missions. There has been no major war during this period. The pilots of the Japanese at Xuzhou Airport seem to have become much lazy.

In the distance, a huge fleet of aircraft began to appear. The fleet of more than 200 large aircraft looked too large. Whether it was the C-47 transport aircraft or the B-17 air fortress bomber, they were all quite large. The aircraft formation composed of more than 200 aircraft looked very spectacular.

This aircraft group is close to the small Japanese airport outside Xuzhou and begins to lower the altitude, which has been falling from four to five thousand meters in the past. These transport aircraft are ready to drop to the optimal skydiving height.

The airborne altitude of airborne troops is generally between 400-800 meters. The lower the skydiving height, the shorter the time to stay, the more beneficial it is in wartime, and the higher the danger. Most of the special forces soldiers who can jump below 300 and above 1,000 meters are not the skydiving range of ordinary paratroopers.

Although the Xuzhou Airport in Japan looks aloof, it still has normal alerts. There are still Japanese soldiers on some posts to watch. The entire Xuzhou Airport is almost not equipped with radar, so it basically depends on observation.

At a lookout post, a Japanese man looked at the fleet in the distance in a daze. It was definitely the first time that Japanese man saw such a huge airport.

After rubbing his eyes hard, the Japanese sentry picked up his telescope and looked into the sky in the distance through the telescope. The planes on these frames were huge, and the blue sky and white sun sign on the fuselage was very obvious.

This is a Chinese military aircraft!!!

With so many Chinese military planes, the little Japanese immediately started shouting anxiously. When he heard the shouts, some Japanese also looked into the distance, and the huge fleet of aircraft covered the sky and the sun.

A Japanese lieutenant who was basking in the sun and smoking saw such a huge group of aircraft, his mouth was so wide that he opened his mouth and only took a few sips of cigarettes from his mouth fell to the ground. The Japanese lieutenant was unaware of it.

Finally, a shrill air defense alarm sounded!

The casual Japanese suddenly became panicked, and a large number of Japanese Japanese were in a hurry. All this was too sudden and there was no warning. It took a long time since the Japanese Japanese to fight, and they never expected that such a huge group of machines would suddenly appear.

The highest commander of Xuzhou Airport and Major General of the Japanese Army Air Force, Kenichi Sato, was standing in the command building more than ten meters high. Through the wide glass windows, you can almost see the entire Xuzhou Airport.

There has been no major war in recent times. As the commander of the airport, Sato Kenichi is also relatively leisurely, holding a cup of coffee and looking at the huge Xuzhou Airport outside.

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded, and Ken Sato, who was drinking coffee, was startled. This was the case. He immediately looked at the sky outside and saw a large number of black spots flying towards him in the distance.

Enemy attack!!!

Seeing this large area of ​​black dots, Sato Kenichi knew that these were planes. He put down his coffee and picked up his telescope. Sato Kenichi hurriedly looked at the group of aircraft in the distance. After just a moment of looking, Sato Kenichi's face changed drastically.

Chinese military aircraft!!!

This is actually a huge fleet of Chinese military aircraft. When did the Chinese military in the entire North China region have so many aircraft? Could it be...

Sato Kenshi thought of the number of a terrifying force, and the newly formed 6th Army.

"Baga! The new 6th Army's fleet." Sato Kenichi shouted, his face gradually became very gloomy, and he could almost pinch out water. Unexpectedly, the new 6th Army, which was hundreds of kilometers away, attacked his airport.

The alarm sounded shrill. At the airport, some Japanese pilots hurriedly ran towards the plane in the distance. A few Japanese pilots were rushing to climb onto their planes, while some Japanese soldiers were rushing to prepare for battle.

On the huge apron of the airport, the Japanese planes were suspended neatly, and a large number of Japanese pilots were running towards these planes. As soon as they ran to the plane, they immediately climbed onto the plane in a hurry.

The Japanese in charge of air defense no longer dared to bask in the sun. Their faces changed one after another. They hurriedly ran towards their combat positions, preparing for battle, and preparing to deal with this huge fleet of aircraft that had already flown above the airport and had an altitude of less than a thousand meters.

Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are being prepared in a hurry. The Japanese at Xuzhou Airport are not in a state of combat readiness, and all preparations are time.

C-47 transport aircraft had lowered its height. After the soldiers reached the altitude of parachuting, they jumped off the plane one after another.

Soon, umbrella flowers appeared in the sky. The soldiers risked the Japanese air defense fire shooting at the fastest speed, preparing to forcibly capture Xuzhou Airport.
