Chapter 50 Stepping on Normandy
Chapter 50 Stepping on Normandy
C-47 flies in the sky and crosses the English Channel in the cloudless night sky.
Parks looked out of the window. He saw an unforgettable scene in his previous life and this life. An attack fleet of 6,000 ships was heading for Normandy. Even in the night sky, the dense black ship flashed with lights. Such a scene may only be seen at this moment in this life, even if we can't see it again in the future.
"We are going to start!" Parks muttered.
"It's really great!" Joe Toy, who was sitting next to Parks, couldn't help sighing. He was just looking down and said, "This is simply a miracle of the world."
Parks nodded and agreed. Compared with such a great action, how small I am. It is like a drop of water in the sea, which is too insignificant. At this time, when the people in the cabin heard the conversation between the two people, they looked down one after another, and then they were speechless for a long time, and they were also shocked.
After a while, the brothers in the cabin came to their senses, and then they didn't say a word. Suddenly, he sat opposite Parks and Kappa's stomach twitched and vomited.
"It's okay, man, it's okay, don't be nervous!" Parks stretched out his hand and patted him on the head.
Toy also felt a twitch in his stomach, but he resisted. After groping through his pocket for a while, he took out a cigarette, but he couldn't find the fire, so he had to put the cigarette back into his pocket. Gernelly played with the metal cricket signal with his hand and made a monotonous sound.
Smith took the cross in his hand and kept saying, "Our Father in heaven, don't let us meet temptation, but save us from evil." Because the kingdom, power and glory are all yours forever, Amen!" Then cross the cross on the chest. He looks very religious. He has always been a devout Christian.
Tibo keeps checking his parachute and his own equipment. White's eyes were shining. His eyes were bright and his expression was very excited. He sometimes looked outside and sometimes stared at the skydiving signal next to Parks. He kept sbilling his mouth and looking at it.
"Are you nervous?" Parks smiled at him. To be honest, in E Company, his relationship with White was the best.
Nodded with characteristics, and then shook his head quickly: "No, not at all. I can't wait!" Then he nodded a little, "Actually, it's still a little bit."
At 1:00 a.m. on June 6, the fleet flew over the island between Guernsey and Jersey.
The pilot on the Parks plane shouted at him, "There are still 20 minutes left." The flight attendant came over and opened the hatch. Suddenly, a fresh wind blew in violently, and the turbid air in the cabin was immediately blown away. At the same time, he also saw the coastline below.
After the group flew over the coastline, it encountered thick clouds. The fleet began to disperse. The leading V-shaped formation flew straight forward, and the two V-shaped formations following behind changed direction. Turn right on the right, and turn left on the left. But the drivers lost their direction. At this time, the blue, green and red shrex bullets cut through the night sky, and the German anti-aircraft guns began to fire.
"It's a small-caliber, 2mm anti-aircraft gun." Parks listened with his ears sideways, "There are still 40mm left."
"The red light is on, Parks!" Suddenly, White shouted, staring at the signal all the time.
Parks tidied up the equipment, then stood up, walked in the front of the cabin, and raised the gesture: "Stand up!"
"Fick it!" Parks shouted loudly, and his voice covered the sound of anti-aircraft guns outside the cabin and the roar of the plane. All the brothers in the cabin stood up and hung up their umbrellas.
"Check the equipment!" Parks shouted, "Report the equipment inspection!"
"The 10th is ready!"
"No. 9 is ready!"
......
"No. 1 is ready!"
At this time, a 20mm bullet of an anti-aircraft gun suddenly hit the aircraft, causing the plane to shake sharply, and the bullet just passed through the place where several brothers had just sat. Suddenly, many people were speechless, and they were stunned.
The plane passed through the clouds, but encountered more violent gunfire. These pilots were so scared that most of them did not have actual combat experience. They don't want to do anything except speed up desperately. As long as they escape from this place desperately, they can make themselves feel at ease. Looking at the fire bursting from the body that kept exploding in the air, and the huge explosion of thick smoke coming out of the plane and sticking to the ground, everyone was shocked.
While avoiding the gunfire, the plane began to shake violently. Many brothers stood unsteadily, so they had to desperately pull everything they could grasp in their hands to keep their bodies a little balanced.
"Boom--" Suddenly, Parks' plane caught fire on the left wing. Because it was close to the door of the cabin, a heat wave suddenly swept over, and someone shouted.
"My eyes--" Smith shouted, covering his face with one hand.
"Are you all right? "Smith!" Parks shouted loudly.
"I'm fine. I was scared just now!" Smith also answered loudly. At this time, the fuselage suddenly had a serious offset. It seems that the wing is damaged, which is about to get the plane out of control.
The brothers suddenly staggered and bumped into a ball.
"Let them skydive!" The flight attendant shouted to the captain, "If they don't jump, they don't have to jump."
"Okay, turn on the signal light!" The captain nodded. He couldn't control it. The plane was out of control.
"Jump, Parks, if we don't jump, we'll be finished!" White shouted aside. . As soon as he finished his words, he saw that the signal light turned green.
"Jump!" Parks shouted loudly and then rushed into the night. The brothers in the cabin squeezed desperately towards the door of the cabin, one after another and threw themselves into the night sky. The waiting and order in the usual training are completely useless. They just want to escape from this place quickly and then hand themselves over to God.
With a "hoo--", the parachute opened in the night sky. Parks looked at the sky full of round parachutes floating in the air. At this time, he suddenly remembered the dandelions floating in the air. They could not control their own destiny and fell with the wind. Now he still has these 13,400 excellent American paratroopers. Isn't it like a dandelion, floating in an unknown direction and to the ground?
The tracer bullets emit huge sparks in the air, just like fireworks in my hometown. The anti-aircraft machine gun ejects bullets like long dragons, winding in the air. There are also those crashed planes burning on the ground.
After two years of training, I finally landed today!
"Wrap!" With one sound, he hung the falling mountain on the branches of the forest, and then made a loud "kap" sound, breaking a branch, and Parks was hung in the air. At this time, the sound of someone landing was heard not far away.
"Lightning!" Parks shouted in a low voice at the place where the sound was made.
"Thunder!" The other party sent a password, and then there was a very surprised voice, "Is it Parks?"
"Chrisdenson?" Parks heard the man's voice. At this time, he also untied the knot of the parachute hanging on the tree, jumped down from the branch, and then touched his leg bag, but it was empty. He was as unlucky as drinking Lieutenant Winters, and his leg bag was lost. He couldn't help shouting angrily. Fortunately, he also has a paratrooper knife. A pistol. This is a blessing in misfortune.
"Come here, Chris Denson!" Parks whispered to him, "Is your weapon still there?"
Christen came over carefully and shook his head: "I lost my weapon!" He is a machine gunner. Obviously, he is now empty-handed.
"You don't even have a dagger?" Parks smiled bitterly.
Chris Densheng shrugged his shoulders: "All!"
"This is for you!" Parks handed over the pistol, "But there are no bullets. Save yourself. It seems that we still have a way to catch up. We have to find the assembly point quickly and meet the other brothers!"
"Do you know where we are?"
"I know, Normandy!" Parks made a joke, then stood up and looked around. "I'll look for it. There's always something for us to use as a reference." Then he took out a compass from his pocket, hid in the bushes, lit it with a flashlight, vaguely judged the direction, and then said to Chris Densheng, "Okay, let's go!"
"Which direction to go?"
"Of course, we are going to find our own brothers. I think we missed the location. Do you still want to find a German headquarters to drink coffee at this time? Just follow me." Parks keenly judged his direction and walked quietly with Christen in the dark.
"Damn it, this is a bad airborne!" Chris Denson cursed in a low voice.
"No, at least we know what we are still doing!" Parks' tone was a little low, "There are many brothers. They didn't even land. This is our luck, Chris Densheng. At least we are still alive."
Yes, live. Christenson didn't say anything, but occasionally looked up at the sky, and the gunfire was flashing in the air.
