The sinking of the destroyer was reported by both parties at the same time. The two countries' sea waters and the two militaries only need to take further actions to proceed to the next step. Whether the situation will expand or disappear depends on the attitudes of the two parties.

The war in the Western Regions has already started, and the Qin Air Force has been dispatching airships to carry out photographic reconnaissance. The appearance of the airship greatly increased the morale of the besieged Qin army. They chanted the slogan "Long live the Qin army."

The Allied Forces in the Western Regions were once very panicked and their morale dropped drastically. This reconnaissance needs to go deep into the opponent's rear for a hundred miles and then look for a suitable landing place in the photos.

The Allied Forces of the Western Regions have nothing to do with the airships of the Qin State. Their bows and arrows cannot shoot down the airships high above. They can only send cavalry to follow them.

The Qin army's reconnaissance airship not only needs to take pictures of the ground, but also needs to measure the weather conditions. The plan can't keep up with the changes. Airborne assault operations need good weather. If the weather is not good, the airborne will undoubtedly send the airborne troops to death.

The weather forecast is also tensely collecting various meteorological data, and the airborne troops have completed their assembly and are ready to attack at any time. The final offensive moment is approaching.

The airships have assembled and the airborne troops will operate as planned. The impromptu map will show the worst possible plan for an airborne operation and they need to study it before they go out.

"At the beginning of the battle, the first company will be airborne on our left. We will form the first line of defense with the first company to resist possible attacks from all sides." An airborne major introduced to the two Qin army airborne troops that they will be the first to land. the troops

"What?" The major saw a second lieutenant raise his hand

"How do we know we're airborne sir within the originally planned area?" the second lieutenant suggested

"Your question is very good. What I want to say is that someone will give us instructions on the target," the major said firmly.

"Okay." The second lieutenant said that Qin has actually sent the first special assault force this time. They will infiltrate from the enemy's front to the enemy's rear to meet the airborne assault force. Guiding landmarks is also one of their tasks.

The Eve of the 617 Counterattack

Airborne operations require a special team to respond to this requirement on the ground. It is very important because the combat area is deployed in an unfamiliar area. If there is no response, it is difficult to complete the combat mission only by relying on the map.

So the special company of the Ninth Class Soul was put into use

"Can the first platoon of your company fight independently?" Wang Ben asked directly

"Master Neng" Jiu Banhun replied

"Do you know how to skydive?" Wang Ben continued to ask

"Yes, sir, we have received a month of skydiving training," Class Nine Soul replied

"Well, have you tried skydiving at night?" Wang Ben continued to ask

"In the whole company, only me and the sergeant major have skipped over the others, and the others have never tried it," the ninth class soul replied.

"Well, let's take a look at this." As he said, Wang Ben handed a document to Class Nine Soul. This is a specific plan about infiltration operations. At the beginning of the plan, two infiltration methods were chosen. The first is skydiving at night and skydiving during the day. There will be a large number of The risk of the cavalry following is too high, so the parachute is chosen at night, but after the parachute, there is still a long way to the main landing area, and the other part is all on foot. First of all, this troop will advance lightly. They will detour from the mountains on both sides to the main landing. district

"That's the plan, and I'll tell you the truth, I'd love to use the second scenario, but right now our weather won't allow it and we'll have seven days at most before we launch a counter-offensive. Any day within the seven days could change. I can't guarantee you guys. Can you arrive on time, but I need you to arrive as soon as possible. The first option may be the only chance we can choose." Wang Ben said seriously

"Understood sir, we will carry it out, but we need a night skydiving training," Class Nine Soul said firmly

"Well, you can go to Captain Weiby, he will meet all your requirements, and the rest can be done as above," Wang Ben said.

After talking about the souls of Class Nine and leaving Wang Ben, a new military meeting will be held. The protagonist of the meeting is neither he nor Li Xin, but the meteorological officer of the Heavenly Army. The combat time has been clearly told to be advanced.

"The climate here is very strange. We are often attacked by cold air from the Northwest Region. Our airship takes off very loudly, but the temperature has been a bit low recently. A low temperature means that our air pressure will be high and the weather will be stable," the weather officer said. introduced to

"In the landing area, there are large mountains on both sides blocking the airflow and the impact is not very big," the weather officer said.

"Then how long will this weather last?" Li Xin asked

"Usually there is not much change within five days," the weather officer said.

"That is to say, the weather will remain stable for five days starting from the [-]th. Li Xin asked.

"That's usually the case," the weather officer said.

"What I want is not the usual but the guarantee" Li Xin asked with certainty

"Can you guarantee it?" Li Xin asked the weather officer, who was a little uncertain, but after a little relaxation, he made up his mind.

"I think I can assure you," said the weather officer

Everyone here took a deep breath, which means the counterattack has begun

The meteorological officer withdrew from the meeting. Next, the main military chief will make specific arrangements based on these five days. Everything is ready and there is only a short time.

That night, three large airships were fully loaded with [-] people and parachuted into the system. The result was generally good. Three people broke their legs to varying degrees, but they had preliminary experience in skydiving at night. During the day, they had to make intense preparations. The mission had already been issued to them. We'll do a skydive at night and then walk twenty miles east, where they'll hide in the dark and watch for the airships in the sky These days, the moonlight is fairly light, and the Allies haven't decided whether to drop during the day or at night, but the possibility of the former is very likely. There is a high probability of fighting in the middle of the night, so they have to be prepared

"Today we are going to carry out a historic mission. This mission is glorious and full of mission." Class Nine Soul summoned his subordinates and said that his company will be divided into two teams to carry out the mission independently

"I believe history will remember this day on the evening of April [-]th," Jiu Banhun said, and everyone's face was serious. They will help the paratroopers complete the landing, which is a difficult task.

"Stand up, get your equipment and board the plane," the sergeant major shouted

The four airships will carry a team of more than 110 people, and they will be airborne on the flat ground of the North and South Mountains. There will also be some heavy weapons, new curved front-loading artillery, and the predecessor of the artillery. This kind of artillery is a temporarily modified artillery, which is mainly used to fill the blank area. There are also heavy machine guns, water-cooled machine guns, and a large amount of supplies. There are two thousand rounds of various ammunition, which is a large amount. Two parachutes will be used to release them separately, as well as various food and medicines. And communication equipment, flares, they're signal weapons for paratroopers.

The airship lifted off slowly and then disappeared into the night. After an hour and a half, they will parachute in an open field.

"At that time, I was terrified. I didn't know if it was the cold or something. My legs kept shaking," a veteran recalled later.

"I felt dizzy at the time. I have never felt like I have been working on an airship for such a long time. When I was about to lose control, the sergeant major yelled and everyone stood up, and then it was "check the equipment." We started to check the equipment"

"I don't know what happened, the sergeant major kept saying jump jump"

"We just jumped out one by one, and I couldn't see anything in the dark."

"I was so glad that I didn't know I had landed until one of my buddies came to call me after landing," the veteran said of the memorable parachute in his memoirs.

The parachute was very successful that day, and there was no wind to blow them away. The Allied Forces of the Western Regions obviously didn't notice that the squad immediately took cover after finding their equipment. The only failure of this parachute was that most of the weapons lacked effective earthquake resistance. The three machine guns that protected the landing were all broken. The machine gunner used the three damaged machine guns to improvise one. This was the initial guarantee of the existence of firepower. Four hours before dawn, they continued on their way. The landing site was in a river. There will be an airborne landing area on the grass. They must ensure the safety of the airborne site and also accurately indicate the safety of the paratroopers.

Now all they have to do is get on their way and the war will start in the next few days.

621 air force landing

".

"This is the most beautiful flower I've ever seen in my life" Jiu Banhun said excitedly watching the falling paratroopers

The paratroopers fell one by one

"Gather over there quickly," a paratrooper sergeant yelled

'Damn para button' a paratrooper's para button dies

"Don't be in a hurry to do this," said a second lieutenant who tapped the paratrooper buckle with his hand.

paratrooper buckle open

"Thank you, sir," said the paratrooper excitedly.

"Okay, pick up your weapons and let's go to fight," the second lieutenant signaled
