Time goes back to fifteen minutes ago, the transport aircraft formation of the 1st Marine Brigade.
After learning that his deputy brigade commander had taken the risk of leading a team to make a blind landing at high altitude, Li Yunlong's face suddenly changed in the cockpit of the pilot plane, and he could no longer maintain his original calmness.
At the critical moment when the entire formation was about to miss the gap in the clouds, he immediately turned on the communication system inside the aircraft and quickly ordered to his guards:
"Duan Peng, bring your exclusive weapons and parachute quickly!"
"From now on, you are temporarily the bodyguard of Deputy Brigadier Xing. You must protect him! Don't worry about my safety. I still have Monk and Huzi by my side."
The sudden temporary arrangement and the news that Deputy Brigadier Xing took the lead made Duan Peng feel quite unprepared.
However, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. He walked towards the hatch in the middle and rear section of the transport plane without any hesitation, already looking ready for battle.
"Received! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
At the same time that Duan Peng received the order, several comrades on the side stood up in unison and urgently assisted him in completing the last preparations before departure.
Before the indicator light turned green, the monk said seriously:
"We have never practiced blind landing at high altitude before. Don't show off, kid. If an accident happens, remember to throw away the equipment box."
"Weapons can be remade if they are gone, but there is only one life."
"After landing, all actions must be mission-oriented, and priority must be given to ensuring the personal safety of Deputy Brigadier Xing. Okay, let's go, we will see you soon!"
The considerate advice from his comrades made Duan Peng more confident.
He stood at the cabin door and stared down, and jumped at the moment when the transport plane passed through the gap in the clouds.
It is worth mentioning that the weight of special weapons is much greater than that of ordinary paratrooper equipment. Therefore, for this operation, the Eighth Route Army Logistics Department specially prepared a customized parachute for him.
The load-bearing capacity of this parachute is almost twice that of ordinary military parachutes.
The advanced and bold design concept, coupled with the far-leading manufacturing technology, allows the umbrella to effectively slow down its descent even in harsh weather.
In general, its actual combat performance is very impressive, and its comprehensive performance is by no means comparable to the standard equipment of the major participating countries.
After a tense and exciting free fall, as well as a dangerous and professional mountain parachute, guard Duan Peng finally arrived at the mission area without any danger.
Unlike Xing Zhiguo, who is over 30 years old, this young man with a strong body and long-term martial arts practice was not injured during the airborne landing.
After landing in a standard tactical posture, he first buried his customized parachute in place while observing the surrounding environment and terrain.
Then he unloaded the special weapons and equipment boxes behind him and began to inspect them one by one.
"The safety device is functioning normally."
"Igniter and nozzle, intact."
"The fuel bottle and high-pressure gas bottle have no obvious signs of collision, perfect!"
After repeatedly confirming the integrity and functionality of the two large and small steel tanks, Duan Peng quickly completed the assembly work according to the connection steps in the instructions.
Soon, a weapon that resembled firefighting equipment appeared on the scene.
That's right!
The special weapon Peng was carrying behind him at this time was the flamethrower that would grill Japanese pork belly on the Pacific battlefield, fry the elite German troops on the east and west fronts of Europe, and even dominate StarCraft. .
Theoretically, this brutal individual weapon of destruction is not suitable for airborne troops.
After all, this thing has certain risks. Once it is stored or operated improperly and explodes in a closed and small cabin, the entire platoon of soldiers will be killed in a sea of fire.
However, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
As early as the Belgian campaign two years ago, Desan designers overcame many difficulties and successfully equipped their airborne troops with flamethrowers.
Adhering to the principle that acquaintances and tropical rainforests are more suitable, the Yellow River is naturally not to be far behind.
In the preparatory stage of this operation, he specially transferred some manpower from the third department of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau to successfully complete the research and development and testing work.
Not long after assembling the flamethrower, a burst of fierce gunfire suddenly came from the northeast.
Seeing this, Duan Peng picked up the equipment with a total weight of sixteen kilograms without saying a word, and then ran non-stop towards the battle zone not far away.
After arriving at the commanding heights of the target area, he keenly discovered that the Japanese troops were disorganized. In a sense, this group of enemies is almost the same as Guo Preserved's third-rate troops.
Seeing through the current situation at a glance, he used the shortest time to come up with the best solution: sneak up on it and move around alone.
Facts have proved that the military quality of the Marine Corps is really not very good. Under the cover of gunfire and explosions, Duan Peng quickly arrived at the flank of the Japanese attack direction.
"Click." "Puff."
Open all the safeties, pull the trigger of the igniter with your left hand first, and a wisp of flame will immediately appear from the nozzle of the flamethrower.
His right hand then pulled the trigger on the rear grip, and the napalm in the fuel bottle immediately spurted out under the action of high-pressure gas, and was ignited into a columnar fire dragon.
"ah!"
"Baga!"
In an instant, the Japanese offensive line turned into a sea of fire, and there was an endless stream of exclamations and curses.
The Marines, who originally wanted to charge with bayonets based on their numerical superiority, turned into familiar faces under the hot and sticky flames of thousands of degrees.
These acquaintances were like headless flies, scurrying around in panic.
Some lucky ones even roped in friendly forces around them, and together they embarked on a shortcut to meet the locusts of all generations.
The little devil who was not yet dead let out a miserable wail.
However, the survivors at this time had no time to care about their colleagues. They hid behind natural bunkers as much as possible and used all their life's knowledge to search for the attackers.
"Quick! Find the fire-breathing soldier quickly!"
"If we can't kill him in time, our team will definitely be wiped out!"
It's a pity. Compared with ordinary firearms that can only attack in a straight line, flamethrowers can cover large areas of trenches, bunkers, and even tunnels and caves.
Even if they were hiding behind natural bunkers, the Japs still could not avoid the fate of being devoured by the fire dragon.
Perhaps thanks to the blessing of Amaterasu, this Marine Corps finally found the location of the enemy at the cost of half of its casualties.
A moment later, several rifles, two submachine guns and a light machine gun opened fire at the same time, shooting hateful bullets towards the source of the fire dragon.
Faced with such exaggerated fire suppression, Duan Peng, adhering to the principle that a good man never suffers immediate losses, retracted his body decisively into the bunker prepared in advance.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and no matter how fast his reaction speed is, it is still difficult to avoid the stray bullets flying everywhere.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After a metal collision, Duan Peng's left leg was hit by a bullet from a submachine gun, and the blood flowing from the wound quickly dyed his trouser leg red.
The fuel tanks were not in good shape either.
Due to the large target size, at least two stray bullets just hit the tank indirectly.
Fortunately, the fuel tank designed by the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau is relatively thick, and coupled with its cylindrical shape, it is easy for small-caliber bullets or fragments to ricochet when hit.
Even if it is penetrated, napalm has a higher ignition point than regular gasoline.
It is almost impossible to ignite under normal conditions unless it is exposed to frontal fire. Scenes like those in later movies that are about to explode are even more impossible to happen.
After all, Huang He is a professional military expert, and he is not a crazy Japanese. How could he design a suicidal living bomb?
After briefly treating the wound on his leg, Duan Peng once again picked up the flamethrower beside him, preparing to fight the Japanese to the end.
"Damn it, it seems Director Huang is right. The Fire Breathers are indeed a unit that attracts hatred. This 91% death rate and an average battlefield survival time of 12 minutes are really not groundless."
"But to be honest, the charcoal-grilled Japanese pork belly is really enjoyable."
"When the troops gain a firm foothold in Qiongya, I will definitely get on the fire-breathing tank of the combat mobile company and burn the nozzles directly on the faces of the Japanese!"
The fire-breathing tank Duan Peng mentioned was naturally from the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau, and was another piece of equipment developed by Sanke during the same period.
In the original idea, military industry experts only removed the heavy machine gun on the top of the Cicada tank, and then replaced it with an infantry flamethrower.
However, regarding its performance in subsequent tests, both Huanghe and infantry reorganization experts were not satisfied with the flamethrower's range and capacity.
Upon receiving the request from their superiors, the comrades simply dismantled the Cicada's 37mm main gun and instead designed a vehicle-specific flamethrower with a maximum range of one hundred meters and the ability to continuously set fire to one minute.
At this point, the fire-breathing cicada style officially debuts.
All I can say is that I was called by the wrong name, not by the wrong nickname.
In addition to airborne tanks, self-propelled artillery, self-propelled mortars, self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles, engineering equipment vehicles and weapons carriers, the Cicada has a flamethrower tank variant.
The 38T of the Eighth Route Army deserves its title. (End of chapter)
