Chapter 1527: 1528Fly ashore
Chapter 1527 1528 Fly ashore
A Tang Army soldier sat nervously in the cockpit of a helicopter. He had a seat belt wrapped around his waist. This was his only safety measure. There was a person sitting next to him, and the helicopter door was open. And there is no closure.
This Black Hawk helicopter was flying over the sea, and the speed was not slow. The sea breeze blew through the cabin, making the soldiers who were flying in a helicopter for the first time very nervous.
He has not been trained in this area. Sitting on a helicopter with the door not closed at all is much more exciting than riding a roller coaster with his children.
He didn't believe it when he said it. He was supposed to go ashore in a landing craft before, but later because everything went so smoothly, he was sent directly to the amphibious landing ship.
Before he could react, he was put into the helicopter and rushed to the smoke-filled beach with the sea breeze blowing. To be honest, he really wanted the helicopter door to be closed, but it was a pity that no one cared about this.
At his feet, there were densely packed landing ships. Some of these transport ships were unloading oil, and some were unloading infantry. In short... they were all very busy.
It is precisely because the ship is too tight that it cannot allocate more people to transport people ashore, so some people will be transferred to the helicopter carrier and let them find another way to get ashore.
After all, it was previously expected that half of the helicopters would be lost to barely complete the three-dimensional landing. Now because the first plan was executed so smoothly, the loss of the helicopter was saved and can be used for subsequent transportation.
It is obviously a bit troublesome to transport supplies to the amphibious landing ship, so we have to send people aboard and then use helicopters to transport people.
"We are close to the coastline!" The soldier sitting on the outermost side is trained. He knows that although it looks dangerous, in fact they are very safe.
As long as they are not directly facing enemy machine gun fire, helicopters are actually very flexible and can evade most anti-aircraft guns. And they don't need to be close to the front line, they can just land in the landing zone opened in the rear.
Because of their speed, they quickly began to lose altitude, and eventually the helicopter stopped on the ground, but the propellers did not stop rotating.
“Lower your head! Bend over as much as possible! Leave the propeller area quickly!” While opening the seat belt on his chest, the soldier in charge reminded everyone loudly.
Although he was reminded when he got on the plane, he still had to shout it again according to the procedure, so as to ensure the safety of everyone as much as possible.
The soldiers, who had just been on a roller coaster, had been jolted by the airflow and were about to vomit. Now they bent down and rushed out of the range of the helicopter propeller. They finally reached a safe place and immediately fell to the ground.
With pale faces, they took a glass of water from the hands of the soldiers guarding here and poured it into their stomachs, which made them feel more comfortable.
At this moment, the helicopter that sent them had taken off again and was flying towards the sea. They were very busy because there were still many soldiers to be sent ashore.
“How do you feel?” The soldier who came ashore on the hovercraft curiously asked his comrades who flew over in the helicopter.
The soldier who came flying in the sea breeze waved his hands, feeling that he was really unlucky. If he could choose again, he would definitely choose to go ashore in a landing craft. After finally cheering up, he saw a few bald dwarves sitting together, being guarded slumpedly by a soldier.
"Dwarf prisoner?" He put his rifle on his back and asked the comrade who gave him water: "Why are you here?"
"Those ones? Those few are pilots. Their plane was shot down and they parachuted on our side, but they were captured." The soldier responsible for guarding the landing zone introduced nonchalantly: "Because in Datang He studied at the Imperial Aviation School, so he was put here. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can eat and drink with our people. "
After all, there are a few acquaintances and friends in the Datang Empire who have studied at one of the aviation schools in the Tang Dynasty. They can enjoy some special treatment after being captured.
For example, you can get food rations, get preferential treatment to write letters to your family, and sometimes you can even be sent to the rear where you can spend the entire war in peace.
"What a lucky group of guys." The soldier who had just stepped onto the battlefield glanced at the listless dwarf paratroopers again and said.
“You envy a group of people who are about to perish?” the soldier guarding the landing point asked disdainfully.
"Of course not, I just think that they are lucky compared to those unlucky ones who are about to die under my gun." The Tang Army soldier who had almost recovered from his airsickness replied, and then he saw An acquaintance who came to pick him up.
The troops were scattered ashore, so the beach was full of soldiers and officers looking for their subordinates or superior units.
You have to return to the establishment before you can go into battle, right? Although temporary formation of teams is possible in some special circumstances, most of the time, or when conditions permit, each army will try its best to find its own soldiers.
Otherwise, how would the casualties be counted? How to use the tactics you train in daily life? How do those technical soldiers who have spent great efforts to cultivate function?
"How to get to the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Marine Division?" After leaving the landing point, carrying weapons and equipment bags, and walking on the beach full of people, this Tang Army soldier who had not yet found his superior unit avoided a 96 tank. Ask the soldiers who gather to smoke cigarettes across the tank ruts.
“Over there! Go further! It’s almost 2 kilometers away.” A smoking soldier replied pointing into the distance.
"Thank you." The soldier who asked for directions waved his hand, and then walked in the direction pointed by the soldier. What annoys him now is the sea sand that always gets poured into his shoes for some reason.
The ground where he came out was relatively hard. It was a place that Tang Jun deliberately chose for a helicopter to land. The beach he was walking on now was soft and irritating.
There are still planes whizzing by in the sky, and you can even see the H-6 bombers coming from afar. Under the protection of Ying Long, they fly over the heads of the Tang army.
There was a rumble of artillery in the distance. The heavy firepower of the Tang Army had already landed and began to pour firepower on the dwarf positions in the distance. Pieces of gunpowder smoke rose on the horizon, reminding everyone that the battle was far from over.
