Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated Chapter 468

With intense war preparations and scheduling, the time has come to the end of June.

Today is the day when the 1st Marine Brigade rushes to Qiongya.

According to the practice of previous operations, all soldiers gathered in the base in platoon-based combat units. At this time, the last self-inspection and assistance inspection work before departure was underway.

"Everyone should be careful. The parachute equipment must be foolproof. Don't miss any detail that may cause danger."

"Think about the mantra I often chant during training. The functionality and integrity of the three major components of the parachute, parachute rope, and parachute cover must be checked one by one, and all components must be installed and connected correctly."

"Second squad leader! Wear your umbrella helmet more neatly! If our battalion commander sees it, he won't be able to scold me."

Under the supervision of many platoon leaders, the full set of inspection work is coming to an end.

It is worth mentioning that since the combat area of this operation is far away from North China and the troops cannot obtain supplies from the headquarters in a short period of time, each soldier carries a lot of dry food and ammunition.

This makes the overall image of everyone look somewhat bloated.

However, under the dual pressure of task difficulty and survival conditions, no one cares about whether they are beautiful or not.

When all the preparation work was successfully completed, the three commanders Li, Zhao and Xing appeared on the high platform at the same time. Looking at the groups of soldiers ready to go, they all couldn't help but clenched their fists.

"Comrades! In half an hour, we will set off on time and rush to Qiongya, two thousand kilometers away!"

"There, there are tens of thousands of miserable people waiting for us, and there is also an anti-Japanese armed force that has been isolated overseas for more than ten years and is struggling to support us!"

"This will be a test of blood and fire! Do you have the confidence to overcome obstacles and overcome all difficulties?"

As soon as his brigade commander finished speaking, all the soldiers replied in unison: "Obey the order! Complete the mission resolutely!"

The neat and soaring response made the three commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade nod with satisfaction.

When the scene returned to calm, Lao Li first looked at his watch, and then ordered the soldiers:

"Very good. Just seeing everyone's current mental outlook, I know there will be no problems with this operation! Everyone! Follow the previous grouping and be ready to board the plane!"

The soldiers were very fast. Almost at the same time that Li Yunlong finished his pre-war mobilization work, the roar of piston engines came from the direction of the airport.

At the same time, the boarding prompt sounded from the radio in the base.

"Set off!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers set off quickly and ran towards the airport with great momentum.

After more than a year of development, the size of the Eighth Route Army's airborne troops has more than doubled from when it was first established.

Currently, the army has three parachute infantry regiments under its jurisdiction, plus a number of fully functional support battalions and some direct-affiliated formations, totaling 4,200 people in the brigade.

Theoretically speaking, an armed force of less than 5,000 people cannot make any splash in this world war.

In some areas where the war situation is tense, they will even be thrown into positions that do not belong to them by the campaign commander and used as cannon fodder to fill the lines.

But even such a small brigade-level combat unit gave people a great sense of oppression when it trotted forward in unison.

With this kind of momentum, even the 200th Guo Preserved Division in its heyday would make the Fire Fighting Brigade Captain and Madman Qiu feel inferior.

After a while, the soldiers from the entire brigade arrived at the airport one after another in accordance with the pre-planned entry order.

Looking around, C-54 Air Dominators have already driven out of the hangar. They were parked on their respective tarmacs, with their hatches wide open waiting for the arrival of the paratroopers.

"Everyone is welcome! Board the plane!"

Following Lao Li's order, the soldiers of the 1st Parachute Brigade took the lead and began to board the plane.

The top-notch military appearance of the comrades, coupled with the huge transport aircraft at the airport, made the scene very spectacular, and it felt a bit like the pacesetters of future generations were in place.

As if infected by the atmosphere at the scene, the deputy commander-in-chief, who had just arrived at the airport to see the soldiers off, said enthusiastically:

"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, you really didn't disappoint us. In just over a year, you actually built a powerful army from scratch that is unique in Asia."

"The most dangerous man in the Republic of China, he truly deserves his reputation!"

"But it's really embarrassing, comrades. This time the 1st Marine Brigade has to face unknown battlefields and enemies alone. Don't worry, after you gain a foothold in Qiongya, the headquarters will send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Suddenly hearing a familiar and serious voice, Lao Li decisively turned around and saluted immediately.

After saying hello, he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile:

"Driving tigers and leopards three thousand miles away, protecting hundreds of thousands of civilians at close range. It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders, and it is the duty of soldiers to protect the land and protect the country."

"What's more, as paratroopers, we are born to be surrounded by enemies. When it comes to the ability to fight and operate in unfamiliar environments, who should I choose?" "Don't worry, our brigade is guaranteed to complete the mission!"

This full confidence and domineering speech made the deputy commander smile with satisfaction. He gently pushed Li Yunlong's shoulder, signaling him to quickly return to the team.

While the two were talking, the entire 1st Marine Brigade had completed boarding.

However, the comrades cannot set off immediately. They need to wait for the ground crew to thoroughly check the transport aircraft to ensure that no mechanical failure will occur during the operation.

During this time, everyone can only relax and chat.

However, the calm look of the soldiers showed that they were very confident in the coming battle.

Without him, unlike the European battlefield where enemy planes may take off to intercept at any time, the situation on the battlefield in the Republic of China is really too friendly to the First Marine Brigade.

After all, the Japs entrenched in central and southern China don't have many fighter planes, and the ground troops don't even have large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

There are no reconnaissance planes and no systematic radar network. How could your army discover our whereabouts?

What's more, there were mosquito escorts throughout the entire operation. In a sense, the journey was very safe.

Just as Li Yunlong entered the transport plane, guard Wei Dayong, who was sitting near the cabin door, looked at his brigade commander and then asked curiously:

"Hey, what did the deputy commander-in-chief tell you just now? Did you praise our brigade?"

Hearing this, all the soldiers on the plane turned their attention. They looked expectant, as if they wanted to hear some exciting news from the commander.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong didn't show any interest. He spoke a little in his mind, and then said straight to the point:

"Of course, us."

"Stab it."

Before Lao Li finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by the noise from the plane's communication broadcast. Similar things happened simultaneously in the transport aircraft of the entire brigade.

"Comrades, I am PDH. Today, I will give you a farewell!"

"For the motherland, for the people! I wish you a successful journey! Success is imminent! I have asked Xinhua News Agency to write the next front page headlines in advance, just waiting for the good news of your triumphant return!"

"Before I leave, let me say one last word."

Speaking of this, the deputy commander paused. He took a deep breath, then raised his tone and said murderously: "Show off the prestige of our country! Show off the prestige of our army! The prestige of our country and the power of our army! Look at me in North China!"

"Set off!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the whole brigade was ignited. Even the veterans who had climbed over the snow-capped mountains and walked through the meadows could not hold back the fighting spirit in their hearts at this time.

With high morale, the captain of the pilot crew picked up the communicator on the side and ordered to the rest of the crew on the communication channel:

"Attention all crews! Attention all crews! The operation begins! Everyone takes off in order!"

Although the airport of the 1st Marine Brigade is the largest military airport in North China with the longest single runway. But now, after all, nearly a hundred large transport aircraft are taking off collectively. Failure to arrange properly will inevitably cause a certain degree of chaos.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Air Overlord carrying a group of parachutes shook slightly and moved forward slowly, and the four propellers on both sides also turned faster and faster.

Completely different from some models that fly quickly, the takeoff of the C-54 transport aircraft is full of beauty.

When all aircraft formed a formation at the first assembly point, Mosquitoes departing from other airports also entered the **** role.

This crew from the 1st Air Division is led by Captain Wang Hai, and its members are all tough men with records of shooting down more than two aircraft.

Starting from Taiyuan to Qiongya, the straight-line distance is a full 2,200 kilometers, and even spans five major provinces in the middle.

Although the range of the Sky Overlord transport aircraft and mosquito fighters is enough to fly the entire distance in one breath. But the nearly ten hours of concentrated flying was too much for even the aces of the Air Force.

Fortunately, whether it is central China or southern China, the local fourth masters are equipped with some radar stations and radio equipment.

Thanks to this, when comrades confirm most flight routes, they no longer need to use pure vision and use the most primitive landmarks to navigate.

After several hours of flying, the pilot of the pilot aircraft looked at the map placed on the instrument panel, and then calculated for a moment based on the route and current speed.

"Attention all crews! Attention all crews! We are about to cross the Leizhou Peninsula. Don't fall behind on the next journey."

"Everyone remains in formation, and the **** fighters please do not change altitude. Qiongya is now occupied by the enemy navy, beware of possible Zero or other land-based fighters!"

"All actions must be approved, so be careful!" (End of Chapter)
