Chapter 847 They?

March 15th.

Mediterranean Malta, Malsashlock Base of the Royal Navy.

On the runway that had just been completed and had not even built a hangar, a large four-engine transport aircraft modified with the Thor bomber as the prototype landed steadily and stopped. When the plane slowly drove into the temporary apron next to it, the long-awaited refueling truck and aircrew soldiers immediately rushed up.

With the smooth landing of this transport aircraft, the subsequent seven large transport aircraft of the same type hovering over the sky also landed one after another in the unfinished base.

Soon, the apron was filled with all kinds of refueling vehicles and maintenance vehicles. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the transport aircraft refueling inspection, the soldiers also got off the plane one after another, taking the meals already prepared by the base to satisfy their hunger, while curiously looking at the beautiful island.

It is always easy for soldiers to have a topic, especially in wartime, such as "where did the brothers come from", "how is the battle in Europe", or a cigarette can make everyone familiar with each other.

Soon, the soldiers stationed at the base found that this army was a little different from many of the troops they had seen. Not to mention that these soldiers who had just arrived were veterans who had experienced a hundred battles. The tiger armbands and diagonal guns on their shoulders alone were very different from the domestic standard.

This is a new gun that is shorter than a semi-automatic rifle, but longer than a submachine gun. The handguard and buttstock are relatively large, with a wide magazine and slightly curved, and the method of these new soldiers's shoulder guns is also very different. Generally, soldiers carry one shoulder to the back, but they all cross diagonally on the chest and the muzzle droop slightly.

Although this is only a small detail, only veterans know that although this kind of gun posture is often a little troublesome, it can quickly raise a gun and shoot in the face of threats and battles. From this posture, it can be seen that these new guys are likely to be fighting everywhere all the time, so they will develop this habit of vigilance.

What's more shocking is that these soldiers are actually equipped with black star pistols, which is very rare in China. You should know that although military pistols are convenient, they are generally only used by officers. After all, there are few opportunities to fight with pistols on the battlefield, so instead of spending money on soldiers to wear pistols, it is better to bring two more grenades. Practical.

An army that has been fighting everywhere, but has never been recorded in the military newspaper, which in itself shows that they are not ordinary troops. I'm afraid that only the legendary confidential troops belonging to the General Staff can be comparable.

"Report, the Royal Army Tiger Commando was ordered to report, please ask the general for instructions."

A loud voice sounded in the command center located in the corner of the base. Li Jishen, who was in his thirties, came here with several officers in a jeep as soon as he got off the plane. Due to the urgent task, they kept flying all the way from Singapore, so everyone looked a little tired.

The soldiers outside don't know this force, but Gu Junhuo, as the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Fleet, knows very well that this is a ace force in the army. After the beginning of the war, it has carried out many enemy-side infiltration, reconnaissance, destruction and other tasks. In essence, this is a special operations force similar to the Seal and the Ninth Air Service Regiment. .

In addition to the ability of these guys, a more important reason is that the Tiger Commando is one of the few troops equipped with the new Type 17 assault rifle.

The design concept of the Type 17 assault rifle was proposed by Li Mo in those years. Its appearance is somewhat similar to the famous AK47 in later generations. However, Emperor Li has never played an assault rifle in his last life, so he roughly drew a picture, and the internal structure is basically not comparable.

As a new gun, the design of assault rifles has encountered a lot of troubles. In particular, Li Mo and the military believe that the new gun must be simple and durable, and the manufacturing and equipment must also be convenient. It requires the use of stamping parts as much as possible, and it also requires leather and can be used in various environments, so it was once equipped with light weapons. The general equipment department, which is not very capable, is scratching its head.

Fortunately, at that time, there were serious ethnic conflicts in Eastern Europe, especially in Austria-Hungary. Xinhua took the opportunity to attract a large number of talents. I have to say that Eastern Europeans are indeed superior in gun design. After dozens of designers joined in, the development of assault rifles finally started smoothly. After a total of ten years, it finally took me to the middle of last year. He passed all the military tests.

Gu Junhuo has never played an assault rifle, but after hearing that this gun uses 7.62 mm bullets, its firepower is as strong as a submachine gun, and its range and accuracy are far better than that of a submachine gun. The only regret is that it is impossible to completely replace the current millions of semi-automatic rifles. In addition to the end of the war, another major The reason is logistics. Guns that consume more ammunition than semi-automatic rifles are a nightmare for every national logistics department.

In an area that is likely to be extremely chaotic and full of thugs, there is no doubt about the important surnames of soldiers with guns that can react repeatedly and quickly.

Due to the heavy and tight time of the task, Gu Junhuo hurriedly glanced at Li Jishen and the new rifle, and took him to the front of the map without greetings. Next to the map were several field photos that should have been taken by reconnaissance aircraft.

"I won't say much about the task. You should all be clear, right?"

"Commander Zhao has said it before departure."

"Well, I'll tell you the details of the action." When Chief of Staff Zhou Cheng handed the cigarette to Li Jishen and others, Gu Junhuo had personally walked to the map and pointed to Bordeaux and said, "The intelligence has confirmed that Fuxu will arrive in Bordeaux at midnight today. According to the current situation, as long as he appears, France will definitely change significantly!"

The intelligence department is ready to respond. What you have to do is to find and rescue them before the turmoil. After finding them, you should find a way to bring them here immediately.

Gu Junhuo pointed to the photo next to him: "This is a local field temporary airport six kilometers southeast of the city of Bordeaux. The reconnaissance aircraft and intelligence personnel have confirmed that our transport aircraft can land and take off here.

You should pay attention to that because it is an enemy area, it is impossible for the transport plane to land and wait for you. They will leave a few hours later and then hover over it and wait until they receive your signal.

"General, there will definitely be a large number of enemy troops in the field airport. Is it too risky to land?" An officer of the Tiger Commando asked.

"You can rest assured that the fleet has now moved to the west French coastline. We are taking the opportunity to bomb the French coastline to raid the suburbs of Bordeaux and this airport. I believe there will be no one there when you arrive." Zhou Cheng helped explain.

"HNA will cover you in the air this time. After you arrive at the airport, you should quickly occupy the commanding heights around you to protect the transport plane landing." Gu Junhuo waved his hand, took a piece of information from the staff, handed it to Li Jishen, and continued, "Take a good look at this. This is the information of a new type of cluster bomb we will use this time. This kind of bomb covers a lot, which is mainly used to protect and block your retreat route and kill enemy personnel, but this This kind of bomb is very unstable and dangerous. Once you rescue the target, it will definitely cause chaos in the French army. You need to rely on this weapon for large-scale blocking, so you must leave enough space for the attack aircraft when retreating!"

"General, I want to know if the target has any news that we will rescue him. What if I find him but don't cooperate? In addition, once the plane fails to land, what do we need to do? Li Jishen said that there was a final problem.

Looking at Li Jishen with a serious expression, Gu Junhuo shook his head regretfully: "The contact between us and France is not smooth. Although the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have issued a warning telegram, whether the target has received it and whether it will go with you after receiving it. At present, we don't know, so the General Staff has authorized you to do it cheaply. Things.

In addition, if the landing fails or a transport plane is paralyzed on the runway, we will immediately bomb the airport. During this period, we will use powerful bombs, including air incendiary bombs, to completely destroy the aircraft, so once you see an accident, you must immediately protect the target to the Pyrenees on the West French border. Coast retreat, where will my fleet wait for you to arrive?

Gu Junhuo's words made the conference room quiet all of a sudden. Even the most ordinary guards knew it. He went to a strange country to save a few people who only had photos and intelligence references, and did not know how to cooperate. Then from the city with tens of thousands of enemy troops stationed, he broke through to the field airport under the most chaotic circumstances. He also needed Facing the risks of the plane not being able to land!

It's more difficult than going to the United States to grab gold.

Zhou Cheng took a breath and looked around at the officers of the Tiger Commando and said slowly, "I won't talk about the important surname. I can send you all here to explain everything. I just want to say that we don't want France now, but it doesn't mean we don't want France in the future!"

"You still have three hours to rest, and the airborne time is expected to be around 10 p.m. in France." Gu Junhuo looked at his watch and saluted solemnly: "Good luck to you." --

Bordeaux, night.

There was a sea of people in Biktwar Square, but there was no laughter. All kinds of tents and temporary huts filled the streets and alleys of this city famous for its wine. The refugees from all over France occupied it. The children rolled up in the arms of their parents and looked at the soldiers who passed by from time to time with big eyes. There is tension and uneasiness.

The freedom and wealth after the Revolution have all disappeared, and the hatred after the Franco-Prussian War has not been mentioned. At this moment, everyone can only do two things, what to eat tomorrow and how long to suffer.

Standing at the window of the original city hall, with gray hair, 60-year-old President Pengalle's body is cuckled, and his eyes are not in the spirit of being promoted to the presidency.

He has done his best for this war. In fact, long after Xinhua seized Panama and landed in the United States, he realized that the defeat was not far from the Ally.

But he has no choice. As France, which claimed to have the world's first army before the war, if it chooses to withdraw from the war or surrender when it still has the ability and exposes its allies' backs to the enemy, it is bound to chill the British and American allies who still have a fluke mentality. After the war, France will also be isolated and become Europe. A vassal can no longer be trusted by his friends.

This is politics. In order to ensure the relationship between Britain, the United States and France after the war, France had to continue to resist after the occupation of Paris, in order to drag millions of German troops and force them to enter the Atlantic to threaten Britain and the United States.

For this goal, he gritted his teeth and did not hesitate to offend many domestic politicians and ordered them to continue to resist.

Today, when the defeat has been decided, he still wants to find a way to surrender, hoping to lead the Chinese into France and Europe. As a politician, he knows very well that Xinhua and Germany are not as harmonious as shown externally, so he wants to take advantage of the last opportunity to win a glimmer of life for France. .

But the assassination in Thur woke him up like a heavy hammer, and also told all the French who were interested in fighting Germany to the end that the country was slowly being controlled by a group of despicable people who tried to betray their national interests to their enemies.

"Meida, has Marshal Xiafei replied?" Pengaler turned his head and asked the loyal captain of the presidential guard.

"Mr. President, General Xiafei is on his way. He asked me to tell you that what happened to Tuor has nothing to do with him." The captain finally aggravated his tone and said, "He said, he promised you!"

"I know it's not him." Pengalle took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Are you ready?"

"Yes, my guard and gendarmerie have blocked all the roads to here. General Fuxu has also called to transfer the two troops in the suburbs before, so please rest assured that everything will be fine."

"That's great, boom!"

Unfortunately, before the words were finished, a fire suddenly rose in the square in the distance. The fire not only scared the captain of the guard, but also stabbed Pengal's eyes. He never thought that those despicable guys would attack the refugees there in order to incite the people!

The explosion triggered panic. Countless refugees began to run around. The captain of the telescope guard raised and saw a terrible scene. He only saw countless armed men who did not know where to come out of them rushed here among the frightened refugees!

"God!"

"These bastards! Mr. President, you must get out of here immediately!"

"Leave? Where to go? Where's General Fuxu?

"The general and the prime minister are on their way." The captain shouted, "Mr. President, they have already done it. Please follow us out of here, and then go to Marseille with General Fuch and others."

Outside the window, the gunfire became more and more dense. Countless rebels wearing white towels and blue cloth clothes disguised as workers and farmers appeared in the streets and alleys. The gendarmes and guards had done their best, but no one dared to shoot at will, so they could not resist the turbulent waves.

"Let's go."

Pengalle did not continue to hesitate. He knew that if he did not leave at this time, he would be extremely miserable, but just as everyone was about to leave the office, a crisp phone bell suddenly rang.

Who is

? Who will call at this time?

Everyone, including Peng Jiale, was a little confused. The captain shook his head to indicate that there was no need to answer the phone, but the secretary still picked it up. When his ear was close to the receiver, he almost thought he had heard it wrong. After a long time, he pinched the phone and said to Peng Jiale, "Mr. President, they said that they wanted you to answer the phone. Words!"

"They?"
