Chapter 131 Deep behind enemy lines
Hualoborough didn't have this idea. In fact, as early as in Normandy, when Parks led the commandos to carry out the rescue operation, he wanted to find an opportunity to do such a task, especially the follower Parks. One of the more important reasons was that sent Kendy to show off the Ruger pistol in front of him, which made him salivate for a long time.
Parks knows that Hubler is a brave guy, but he is not in a row, which is the most important thing. He smiled and said, "Of course, don't think about it unless you convince your Compton platoon leader and company commander Winters."
"Well, no problem, it should be done!" Hubler smiled, then saluted Parks and ran to his platoon, which gave him a lot of hope.
At 11 p.m., Parks appeared on time in the open space in front of the barracks. A total of 36 people lined up neatly, waiting for his arrival. Wales stood on the far left of the line. He looked serious and wanted to go far away from his usual smile.
Parks nodded to him, and then only said one sentence: "Follow me!" Then he walked to the nearest airport, where there were two C-47 transport planes and two gliders waiting on the airport runway. They will arrive at the predetermined place by glider.
At the airport, Parks divided the team members into two groups and took two gliders.
"Harry, you lead a group to board the second glider."
Wales nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow your command. I am in charge of the second glider. Then wish us good luck!"
"Good luck!" Parks shook hands with him and then led a group of people to board the plane. He boarded the plane first, and then stretched out his hand at the door of the cabin, just like pulling the team members on the glider one by one before landing in Normandy for the first time.
The brothers' silent followers, one after another, no one complained, they were silent and firm.
"Good luck!" Every time Parks pulls up one, he will say such a sentence to him.
"Good luck!" And each team member will respond to him with the same words. In addition to careful planning, every action depends on a little bit of luck. Luck is equally important to them.
"Okay, soldiers, are you ready?" Is the glider a man named Fan? Petre's second lieutenant, he said loudly in the cockpit, "We're going to start flying. What a good job! That's great!" His tone was a little rushed. Obviously, he was not satisfied with his mission, because it meant that he would stay with these crazy guys. God knows what will happen.
"That's good, it's a good job!" Parks walked to the front, sat behind the cockpit, and smiled at Second Lieutenant Pell, "Reese? Parks, it's a pleasure to be with you!"
Pell shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm also very happy, crazy Parks!"
When Parks finished his equipment, there was a huge roar in his ear. The C-47 began to start and slowly began to run towards the taxi. The glider's body suddenly shook, and then began to slide with the C-47.
"It's all done, guys, we're going to start a great journey!" Second Lieutenant Pell said loudly, and then the glider began to raise its head in the vibration, following the C-47, and sliding towards the dark night sky. It was dark ahead, but Parks was still staring outside. From this moment on, he embarked on an unknown road, and he did not predict the results.
"Are you nervous?" Next to Parkers was a recruit Miller. He felt that Miller's body was very tight, as if a bow full of strings was in danger of breaking at any time, or the damage of rebounding.
"Yes--" Miller looked at Parks with a rebound, and then immediately replied, "No, Lieutenant, I'm excited!"
"Shale so deeply!" Parks patted him on the shoulder, "So you will feel more comfortable!"
Miller nodded, took a few deep breaths, smiled at Parks and said, "I feel much better, Lieutenant, thank you!"
Parks nodded and said nothing. Many people in the cabin didn't say anything. They were just thinking about their thoughts, or simply didn't think about anything or do anything. Let nature take its course at this time may be the best way to relax.
In the dark sky, the sound of the plane is very monotonous. They fly above the thick clouds, which is the most cautious. They tried their best to prevent the Germans from discovering it. Even if you find it, try to avoid being hit by German artillery.
Kaber looked out of the window. He couldn't see anything. Then he turned his head to Malachi beside him and said, "Our luck may not be very good this time. It's impossible for the Germans not to notice our arrival at all."
Malachi looked at him and sneered, "Do you regret it? It's a pity that you can't go back on your word now. You can't go back, now!"
"Nonsense, I won't go back on my word!" Carper immediately said, "I'm just a little worried. It's normal, isn't it? We are not immortal, and... and it is also easy to become the targets of the Germans or surrounded by them!"
"Well, Cap, which day on the battlefield is not easy for us to become the target of the Germans?" Malaqi was a little impatient. "We are airborne soldiers, and we are naturally surrounded."
Kaber curled his lips and stopped talking. He had nothing to say. Although he said a few words, instead of relaxing his nervousness, he became more irritable.
"There are still 40 minutes to arrive at the scheduled place! We have entered the German air defense area. Rod, the glider of the second glider? Second Lieutenant Lisbon began to remind everyone.
The brothers in the cabin began to check their equipment. They don't need to parachute. They will land with the glider and then enter the predetermined area to meet the team members of the glider.
"What an exciting trip!" Hooborough suddenly said to the side.
"Oh, God, what are you talking about?" Pip looked at him opposite him and shook his head and smiled, "This is an adventure, man. We are flying in the sky with our heads in our heads. Who knows if we can go home!"
"You are so pessimistic!" Randalman beside Pip shook his head and said, "You have to have confidence in yourself. Of course, what's more important is that you have to have confidence in our platoon leader, Lieutenant Parks. But you can't experience this kind of mood. You are really unfortunate!"
"Unfortunately?" Paipu looked at Randalman in a spectacle, and then turned his eyes to Toy.
Toy shrugged his shoulders at him and smiled, "Yes, you are very unfortunate, I agree, especially in the face of such a great action, but you seem puzzled and hesitant. Act like a complete rookie. And we have all participated in similar operations. It's really unforgettable."
Pip naturally shut up. He didn't say anything anymore, because it made it difficult for him to understand where the confidence of these guys came from. In fact, the reason why he raised his hand was mainly because everyone raised their hands. The reason is so simple. He has no experience in fighting with Parks. He doesn't know Parks' energy, so he seems to be unconfident.
"Okay, don't worry, take a look, we're still flying in the sky. At least on this mission, how lucky is it that General Taylor didn't let us walk there? Guys, we will bring this luck all the way to the time when the task is completed and we can go home smoothly. Wales took out a small bottle of wine and took a sip of wine. "I will also enjoy such a good wine!"
"Why don't you quit?" Gernery smiled. He sat diagonally in Wales.
Wasles was stunned, and then raised the bottle and said, "Is that what you mean? No, no, it is rich in vitamins, and I now rely on it to make myself more active. This is why the Germans are afraid of me, you know?"
"Oh, that's great. I like it!" Gernelly smiled, "Maybe when I get drunk, the Germans will surrender without a fight, so I will make a great contribution!"
Several people next tolaughed. Wales took a sip of wine and grinned.
The plane penetrated thick clouds, and then it could overlook the scenery below. In the dark night, not many lights are like stars scattered on the ground. Obviously, the Germans have not noticed the two planes.
"Have we entered the German airspace?" Parks said to Perl.
"I'm afraid yes, lieutenant!" Pell nodded, "But fortunately, the Germans obviously didn't find us, otherwise their anti-aircraft artillery would have opened fire on us long ago."
"Maybe they thought it was their own plane!" Parks laughed. Their idea is really encouraging.
Pell nodded and smiled, "I hope so!"
The Germans did not use anti-aircraft artillery, but it does not mean that they did not find the two planes. They had already noticed it. And they also knew that it was not their own plane, but they didn't open fire. The Germans believed that the two planes did not pose a threat to them, and they did not drop bombs.
"How lucky!" Parks smiled and sat down. It seems that this is a good phenomenon. If you are fully prepared and lucky, the task will not be as difficult as you think.
"Lieutenant, the front C-47 sent a signal, and they are about to start decoupling." Pell said to Parks, "We have entered the airdrop area and asked the brothers to get ready!"
"Okay!" Parks nodded and shouted in the cabin, "Okay, guys, fix yourself in your seat and manage your equipment. We are going to enter the airdrop area. Say goodbye to the sky! We will land on the German territory!"
As soon as Parks finished speaking, the plane suddenly sank. The glider and the C-47 transport aircraft have been separated. The nose of the glider slid down to a dark place with a few lights.
Near the Arham Bridge not far away, two German sentries are leisurely swinging on the bridge. Hearing the roar of the plane, they couldn't help but look up. One of them wondered, "Is it our plane?"
Another German soldier listened and shook his head and said, "No, the sound of our plane is wrong with this. It should be the damn American."
"What are they doing?" The German soldier wondered, "Is it a reconnaissance? It's so late, can you take a picture? Maybe they just passed by!"
"I hope so," another German soldier nodded, "What the matter, at least they haven't dropped bombs now. It's our luck!"
In the speculation of two German soldiers, the glider slid like two fish in the night sky to a forest open space ten miles away from them
