my battlefield my company

Chapter 221
Good steel must be used wisely!

The mission of Company E this time was to airborne near Sainte-Marie-de-Mont, about ten kilometers south of Notre-Dame Church. Inland communication lines.

The task of the independent company is to clear the artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions near Omaha Beach to ensure the safety of the airborne troops of other brother units following behind.

This will be related to the key to whether the two airborne divisions, with a total of 13400 officers and soldiers, can be airborne smoothly.

This time, the Allied Forces will dispatch hundreds of C-47 transport planes carrying many officers and soldiers for airborne.

Whether the independent company can successfully kill the vicinity of Omaha Beach, the artillery and machine gun arrays deployed by the Germans will have a very important impact on the success or failure of this airborne.

If the independent company cannot complete the task quickly, the Allied airborne troops will become the target of the Germans.

According to reliable information, the Germans have arranged dense air positions near Omaha Beach, and also deployed heavy defenses.

General William C. Lee, the commander of the 101st Airborne Division, gave the independent company the order that after the airborne, the German air defense positions on the ground must be cleared within half an hour.

Of course, the task assigned to the independent company this time is top secret, and even the old men in Chongqing in China don't know about this operation.

But all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Company know that the First World War, which will determine the historical moment, is coming, and it depends on this time whether they can make China's lion armband show off to the world again.

~~~~~~~~
Soldiers of the Allied Expeditionary Forces: You are about to begin the Great Crusade, for which we have worked hard for months, and now the eyes of the world are on you, and people look forward to your triumphant return , the world wishes for peace...

This is a letter from General Eisenhower to every officer and soldier who will go to Normandy.

6月5日，晚上7点15分，颜至和赵富贵的1排，登上了一架c—47运输机。

Before boarding the plane, Zhao Fugui did not know where to get a few stacks of yellow paper. When the first row was about to board the plane, Zhao Fugui burned the stacks of yellow paper, and then he didn't know where to go. After praying some incantations, the soldiers quickly jumped over the burning yellow paper, and he himself was the last to board the plane.

Seeing this, Fang You and Xu Zheyou, the platoon leaders of the 2nd and 3rd platoons, each took out a few stacks of yellow paper, and before boarding the plane, they burned it up like Zhao Fugui, and recited a bird they probably didn't understand. He called his soldiers to jump over the fire quickly, and anyone who moved slowly would be cursed by him.

At 23:47, the C-1000 made a loud rumbling sound and began to taxi on the runway. When the plane climbed to [-] feet, it began to circle. Every three planes formed a V-shaped formation, and finally formed a huge V-shaped formation fleet, heading towards the Fly to France.

There are so many planes in the sky that the sky is blocked out, and sitting in the cabin, you can't see where the sky is at a glance.

Before boarding the plane, the soldiers had already taken airsickness medicine. Amidst the huge roar, many of them began to feel sleepy shortly after boarding the plane, and fell asleep in a daze.

At 6 o'clock in the morning on June 6, after the British Airborne Division's fleet carrying the 2st Airborne Division flew over the small island between Guernsey and Jersey, the pilot of the plane shouted to Yan Zhi: "There are still 101 minutes. , you are about to start parachuting!"

The previous skydiving was completely different from this time. Before boarding the plane, I heard from soldiers of other troops that the place where they were going to parachute this time was densely packed with Germans, so they could only choose to parachute at night and parachute during the day. , they can only be the target of the Germans.

The purser opened the cabin door, and Fan Xiaosi, who was standing in No. [-] seat, immediately felt a gust of fresh air rushing towards him, immediately blowing the stale air in the cabin into a vortex, which swung out of the cabin.

All stand up, hook up!
"boom!"

Suddenly, after a loud bang, a fire dragon split the darkness and rushed straight from the ground to the sky.

Then, deafening gunfire came from all directions, and countless fire dragons burning with various colors rose from the ground in all directions, soaring into the sky, which was spectacular!
Immediately afterwards, Yan Zhi felt that the plane he was on began to violently turbulent.

"The Germans spotted us, and they started shooting at us," the purser yelled hurriedly, "All of you, get ready to parachute at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, about 100 meters away from their plane, a C-47 was hit by the artillery fire on the ground, and instantly turned into a huge fireball and exploded. Yan Zhi could even see clearly what was happening on the plane. In the moment before the explosion, the faces of the soldiers in the cabin were blurred.

The powerful shock wave produced by the explosion of the plane, like a huge mushroom storm, suddenly spread around and produced a super strong shock wave, which lifted the plane that Yan Zhi and the others were flying almost upside down, bumping up and down, so they were already standing The soldiers who got up fell into a ball in the cabin, making the sound of guns clashing and cursing. Fortunately, everyone's lock hooks were hooked up. When the plane flew normally, the cabin was full of various marching items. .

The Germans seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. For a while, the anti-aircraft guns on the ground, as well as artillery of various calibers, fired various shells in blue, green, and red, making deafening sounds, weaving a huge The firepower net moved up towards the sky, and the airflow generated by the explosion of various shells shook the plane, like a drunk drunk who couldn't control his wings.

The three crew members of this plane were obviously experiencing artillery fire for the first time. When they saw the plane not far away burst open, the captain stepped on the accelerator like a panicked female driver.

The artillery fire in the night sky is extremely spectacular, with red, blue, and purple mushroom cloud-shaped shock waves everywhere, and each shell blasts into the sky, like a magnificent long dragon, galloping, baring its teeth and claws, and rushing towards the plane in the air.

The purser lost his composure before, and he shouted: "God, let's get out of this damn place!" Then he saw the paratroopers in a mess in the cabin, and he was stunned for two seconds: "Hurry up, hurry up, You jump off now, or we're all going to have to hang out with this plane. God..."

While the purser was speaking, two more planes were hit by intensive artillery fire not far from them. One of them flew towards the distance with a tail of black smoke. The hatch opened and soldiers parachuted continuously. The fuselage of a C-47 lost control and rolled three or four times before it exploded. The exploded fuselage, like a shooting star, almost hit Yan Zhi's plane. Relaxed.

"Quick, quick, jump, jump, jump!"

Yan Zhi shouted loudly, urging the soldiers to parachute quickly, so that they could leave this damned airspace and this C-47 that was about to become a grave in the sky.

In the flames, Yan Zhi saw the terrified purser glance at another fuselage on fire, and the plane fell to the ground with thick smoke behind it.

The plane slowed down and the captain tried to keep his composure, cursing these damn Germans and this damn trip.
