Chapter 524

Although the US military's C-47 transport aircraft is criticized by many, it can also transport 28 fully armed paratroopers at one time, not to mention the C-87 with a larger size and load capacity. This big guy with a load of more than five tons is considered a well-deserved air truck in World War II.

In order to quickly send troops to the position, Stilwell spent a lot of money to dispatch more than forty transport aircraft, mobilizing almost two-thirds of Indochina's aerial logistics force.

The aid mission was led by Brigadier General Frank Mairel himself. The 1, 2 and 3rd teams of the Mairel Detachment and the Falcons were divided into two batches. The airborne mission was completed at 15 kilometers northeast of Mitella at noon that day.

Fortunately, there was no gust of wind today. After collecting the troops, the number of people was counted, there were only more than 30 soldiers who died because the umbrella bag could not be opened correctly or the operation was improperly done. Other paratroopers did not encounter too many difficulties.

After landing, they did not immediately enter the battle, but waited for the transport plane to airborne the second batch of equipment and supplies. After all, in the parachuting, they could not carry more ammunition and equipment except their own individual weapons, let alone some heavy firepower.

In addition to ammunition, infantry support weapons such as 60 small steel cannons, light and heavy machine guns are indispensable. Parachutes are like white geese in the sky, falling from the air one after another.

The paratroopers spent two hours collecting their troops and airborne supplies, and attacking Mitela, which was occupied by the Japanese army at about 3 pm.

Now all members of the Mairel Detachment are equipped with the latest weapons and equipment, which is consistent with the main force of the 88th Army. The Garland, m1 carbine, m3 submachine gun and Browning heavy machine gun among the teams, have far surpassed the Japanese army in individual firepower. Even the Indian army did not have such luxurious weapons configurations.

The two sides were stunned as soon as they contacted the Japanese army. Nearly forty 60mm mortars in the mortar company were the first to cover the firepower of the enemy. Before the Japanese army could react, the subsequent troops rushed forward like hungry wolf and launched a close-range battle.

The enemy appeared around the Japanese army like a magic weapon descending from the sky. Even the reconnaissance posts sent out did not know how the other party came. The Japanese were frantically moved by this sudden attack, and when they realized that they had fallen into the other party's encirclement.

The unlucky captain Jiro Kawashima was bombed into the sky because he failed to dodge in time in the first wave of artillery attacks. The Japanese army who lost the commander had no backbone. They were each in the battle, and they soon fell into a disadvantage.

In addition, they had just occupied this place for a short time and had no time to construct and improve the fortifications. It was difficult to launch an effective counterattack under the suppression of firepower. In less than an hour, the outer defense line was declared lost. The Japanese retreated to the Mitela Logistics Warehouse and the original Armored Brigade camp to guard the last line of defense.

If we say that the combat effectiveness of the Mairel Detachment is still remarkable, these Central American mercenaries are just one word... brave! They are quite desperate. When fighting, they are not afraid of casualties and are rushing forward one after another. The rhythm of the battlefield is very fast, and they do not give the other party a chance to breathe. With the blessing of equipment, they have made the Japanese autistic, and have never seen anyone who is less afraid of death than them.

...

In the shadow of the bushes, a figure wearing a gay suit and dark green all over his body was quietly lying on the ground. He seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment, and there was no emotion on his face covered in camouflage. If he hadn't gotten closer, he wouldn't know that there was actually someone hidden here.

In the telescope, you can clearly see that on the small valley road more than a thousand meters away from him, a Japanese army was heading north in panic. The team was dragging very long. Judging from the dusty appearance, it was probably just withdrawn from the battlefield.

The green figure put down the telescope, took off the microphone device connected to the walkie-phone from behind, and silently pressed the intercom button:

"Call Falcon 1, and found a Japanese marching team at the foot of the mountain, heading towards Mitela. It was estimated that there were about 300 people. There should be enemies behind, and the specific number was unknown..."

And in the forest not far behind him, dozens of soldiers in the same costumes squatted on the ground with weapons in their hands. Their eyes were filled with murderous aura, and none of them made a sound. They were as quiet as leopards dormant in the shadows, ready to go and wait for a blow to kill them.

"Falcon 1 received it, continue to monitor and wait for the order... it's over." Dong Dao put down the intercom and looked around. A hint of excitement appeared on his face:

"All teams should pay attention to establishing ambush points on both sides of the enemy's marching route, the sniper team will find favorable positions, pay attention to the enemy's rear support, and act!"

As soon as the words were finished, the soldiers around him moved quickly like arrows leaving the strings.

The Falcon Squad did not join the attack on Mitella. Now the number of personnel has exceeded 100. All of them are elites who stand out in accordance with the selection criteria set by Liao Mingyu first.

They all have great marksmanship, agile skills, rich combat experience, and have the top equipment of this era. In addition to the main weapons, Geely clothing, camouflage uniforms, gas masks, tactical backpacks, and m1911 pistols... These are standard configurations. Each soldier also wears a bulletproof vest modified from the US military's m12 anti-fragment vest.

This vest lining is made of nylon steel wire and some composite materials, which shortens the length of the original m12 vest. Each piece weighs about 2 kilograms and can cover the chest, abdomen, vest and waist. Although it cannot block the shooting of full-power rifle bullets, it is still possible to prevent grenade shrapnel and stray bullets. Even with a bayonet, it is difficult to penetrate the front, greatly enhancing the soldiers' survivability.

Each tactical team is also equipped with a single sneaker phone with a microphone connector plugged in, used for combat communication and tactical cooperation. The luxurious configuration can be said to be armed to the teeth...

The Japanese army was still moving forward with a silence. When they received the news that Mitela was surrounded, the corps leader immediately ordered to go for reinforcements. Although he had just returned from the battlefield of Xigao Village, if he saw death, he would have to die and not save the people there.

Since the enemy's reinforcements have arrived and are so fierce, the Japanese corps captain has given up the idea of ​​continuing to fight behind enemy lines.

The current situation is really helpless. Thinking that as long as he can meet with Mitella's Kawashima Brigade, he will immediately lead the team to leave because he knows... he will have no chance if he doesn't run away.

But the Japanese didn't know that their every move was clearly seen by the Falcon Team hidden in the dark...

After Dong Dao issued a combat mission, various combat squads quickly began to deploy ambush areas. According to the Japanese's forward route, the blasting soldiers buried many tripwires and jumped into the opponent's must-pass path, and also placed the tnt detonator explosives in the hidden place, dragging a long lead and hid in the bush.

The machine gunner opened the scaffold, the deputy shooter placed the bullets aside, and the assault soldiers were all in their place, and several sniper teams also occupied the high ground and began to mark the Japanese officers from the scope.

In less than ten minutes, the Falcon Squad had completed all the pre-war preparations, just waiting for the enemy to step into this carefully arranged pocket.

Behind the ambush area, the communications soldier pulled the antenna of the carrying-type radio to the longest, and used headphones to adjust the channel, and Dong Dao was waiting quietly beside him.

"Report to the captain, contact General Mairrell."

Dong Dao immediately took the microphone and preached firmly: "Call the detachment, this is Falcon One, please answer if you hear it..."

"Received, Falcon One, please say..."

"Our unit found enemy reinforcements in the southeast area and is now preparing to conduct interception operations. Location... Map No. 4 d12.8, b23.9, please send reinforcements quickly, and it will be completed."

Using elite troops to fight against the enemy is the only way to do so. Although the Falcon Squad has strong firepower and it is no problem to deal with these hundreds of Japanese troops, reason tells Dong Dao that he still cannot be trusted.

Just block and hurt the other party a little, and leave the rest to friendly forces to solve. After all, every Falcon warrior is a treasure, and even if it loses one, it will make people feel distressed.

"Report to the captain, the Japanese army is about to enter the ambush!"
