At three o'clock in the morning on the 21st, when the earth was still asleep, the lights suddenly turned on at the military airports in various cities in southern Turkey east of Mount Cech, and the roar of vehicle engines and the sounds of people's greetings and passwords were heard.
, all airports gradually become extremely noisy.
Half an hour later, armed and transport helicopters one after another slowly descended from the sky. After the propellers completely stopped rotating, the fuel trucks and ammunition supply trucks immediately drove over. The pilots and ground crews worked together to refuel all the helicopters.
Full of fuel, and equipped with rockets and air-to-surface missiles for the armed helicopter.
Outside the airport, there are continuous lines of troop carriers in all directions, east, west, north and south, converging with the airport as the center.
In the dark, a convoy was traveling outside the gate of the military airport northeast of Gaziantep City.
Feeling that the speed of the car had slowed down significantly, Colonel Pu Lin, the commander of the Special Forces Group directly under the Thirteenth Army, suddenly opened his squinted eyes. He turned his head, looked out the window, saw the brightly lit airport, and nodded slightly: "We're here.
!”
The other seven special forces officers in the armored command vehicle opened their eyes together. Lieutenant Colonel Lan Ming, captain of the 37th Division Special Forces Group, followed Colonel Pu Lin's line of sight and blurted out: "Oh, there are so many helicopters.
Planes, I guess all the helicopters attached to the army have arrived here this time, right?"
Pu Lin shook his head slightly: "There must be more than that! As far as I know, at the request of Commander Yang, the theater transferred almost all the army aviation units from other battlefields and distributed them evenly to the various operational forces! This sortie only transports
There are a thousand helicopters, which can drop a total of 10,000 special forces and elites drawn from various armies and divisions to the two wings of Mount Cech and the top of the deep mountain at one time.
"This time Commander Yang has made great determination, preparing to deal with the tough obstacle standing in front of us at once, and strive to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop to frighten the enemy into retreating without a fight!"
After hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Lan Ming smiled with relief and leaned back in his chair. He saw the car passing through the tightly guarded airport gate and heading towards the runway. Sitting next to Lan Ming was Lin Jizhong, captain of the 38th Division Special Forces Group.
The colonel seemed to be full of energy. He looked around and asked a little strangely: "What kind of terrain is worthy of such a large deployment of troops? I'm afraid it has never been seen in the history of our army that so many special forces brigades have been involved in the battle at one time.
?”
"What? You woke up?"
Pu Lin rolled his eyes at him angrily and amusedly: "When I had the preparation meeting in the early morning, I couldn't wake you up, so I asked you to come to the command car for the meeting in vain!"
Seeing Lin Ji scratching his head in embarrassment, Pu Lin knew that Lin Ji had been on a mission before and had not slept for five days and five nights. He had just completed the mission and now he was on duty again. He was very tired. Even though he looked so energetic now,
As long as you go to a quiet place, you will fall asleep immediately. Therefore, I am not too harsh. I briefly introduced the geography of Mount Cech and saw that Lin Ji had no doubts. Then he continued: "The fortifications built by the Germans are simple and effective.
, I heard that the officers of the group army and the former enemy headquarters were very shocked when they saw the enemy's firepower configuration and construction diagram, and held many special discussions on this. I believe everyone knows that most of the reconnaissance battalions of each group army and division are
They are composed of officers and soldiers who were gradually eliminated during training after being selected into our special forces. Although their military qualities are not as good as ours, they are already rare elites compared to ordinary officers and soldiers.
"Each reconnaissance battalion not only has conventional optical reconnaissance methods, but is also equipped with night vision and infrared thermal instruments. Although it cannot be said to have a 100% complete understanding of the German firepower points, it can basically guarantee more than 80% accuracy.
Spend.
"It is said that the defenses built by the Germans have reached a very high level of resistance to blows and explosions. Our artillery strikes and air force bombings are difficult to cause fatal damage to them. Instead, they are under the enemy's crossfire."
, once the ground troops launch an attack, they will suffer huge blows and losses!
"Minister Cheng Shiming of the General Staff came down to inspect the work and sensitively discovered that the loopholes in the German defense line were in the blank areas on the two wings and behind the deep mountains. If the airborne troops launch a surprise attack from top to bottom, they can quickly tear open the enemy's defense line and attack on the ground.
With the cooperation, it has the effect of defeating the enemy with one blow!
"Finally, in this attack, we can only win but not lose. Once we fail, we will be surrounded by the enemy and have no way to retreat. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Several brigade captains and political commissars answered in unison.
Colonel Jian Hong, political commissar of the group army's special brigade, who had been silent, added: "After everyone gets off the bus, each brigade will receive specific mission location information. The high-precision maps and physical photos produced by the investigation department will be used by every soldier.
Memorize everything, this can minimize casualties!"
Lan Ming said carelessly: "What are you afraid of? Haven't the mission already been explained? The German army's main defense direction is towards the railway and highway arteries below. Although those anti-aircraft weapons are deployed more tightly, they are also facing the front. This time we
The divine soldiers descend from the sky and attack them directly from behind, so it is not difficult."
"Nonsense!"
Through the window, Pu Lin saw that the car had arrived at the airport runway and was slowly slowing down. He turned around and glared at Lan Ming: "Strategically, we must despise the enemy, but tactically we must pay attention to the enemy. Although the Germans did not expect that we would be behind them.
The Germans will directly carry out airborne operations in the rear, but there is no guarantee that they will not set up some bunkers, bunkers and other warning posts in their rear. When faced with our surprise attack, the Germans will definitely launch a counter-attack, and a head-on battle will be inevitable at that time.
"We should pay more attention before the war, understand the terrain thoroughly, and be able to grasp the best places for shooting and sniping at any time. Only then can we win the greatest victory with the least sacrifice."
The special brigade is under the dual leadership of the unit and the superior department. The current commander of the Guards Group, Lieutenant General An Jin, also serves as the director of the Special Operations Department of the General Staff, and has the highest leadership authority over the special brigade. At the group army level, the divisions below
Although the special brigade obeyed the command of the division headquarters, it was also led by the higher-level group army's special brigade. In addition, Pu Lin was Lan Ming's old captain, so when he saw his superiors getting angry, he had to bow his head and admit his mistake.
The armored command vehicle stopped, and Pu Lin said to the captains and political commissars of the special brigade of each division under his command: "After getting off the car, everyone should organize their own teams first. The intelligence and communications personnel sent by the former enemy headquarters to cooperate with our operations will meet with them.
The officers and soldiers transferred from each army will join our combat sequence, and all preparations must be completed before five o'clock in the morning, do you understand?"
"yes!"
Everyone raised their hands in salute, and as the rear door was opened, the people quickly dispersed.
Pu Lin packed up the combat maps and intelligence materials and said to political commissar Jian Hong: "Let's get out of the car too! The young man must not be able to wait any longer!"
Jian Hong nodded and gave a few instructions to the driver of the armored command vehicle. Then he followed Pu Lin and got out of the vehicle.
...
Six o'clock in the morning Middle Eastern time.
When the eastern sky was illuminated by rosy clouds, Major General Vargen von Hastein, commander of the German 49th Infantry Division, woke up on time from the makeshift camp bed in the small room behind the frontline headquarters.
Hastein put on his clothes, took the cup filled with warm water and a toothbrush filled with toothpaste from the orderly, and went to a protruding cliff outside the side door to rinse his mouth. After returning to the room, he met the orderly who called him from the division headquarters canteen.
I washed my face in the hot water boiled by the snow. I hurriedly went to the simple bathroom built behind the headquarters to clean out the inventory accumulated overnight. Then I came to the observation post in front and gathered with the artillery facing the east.
In front of the sighting scope. Through the high-power sighting scope, carefully observe the Anjiajun position in front of the mountain pass.
Today, the foot of the mountain is still as calm as usual. There is not even a shadow of a person on the opposite position. The smoke is curling up in the distance. It is obvious that breakfast is being prepared. However, through the exchange of telegrams, Hasstein knows that as Kahraman Mashra comes to the north,
As well as the fall of Belekhan, Hatay and other places in the south, this calm will soon be broken.
However, due to his confidence in the solid defense line, Hastein was not too afraid of the Anjia Army's attack. For soldiers, the best place to prove their existence value is the battlefield. He is confident that with this line of defense, he can
An's army, which was invincible and invincible, was defeated.
Returning to the office behind the headquarters, Chief of Staff Colonel Otto Rudolf was checking telegrams at one of the simple desks. When he saw the division commander, he stood up and greeted him respectfully, and then solemnly reported: "Last night, our
The patrol team exchanged fire with the small reconnaissance force of the Chinese *** team many times... Now the enemy's investigations are becoming more and more frequent, it seems that the Chinese *** team is about to attack! "
Hastein nodded, came to another desk, sat down on a chair covered with animal skins, took the message from the chief of staff, read it one by one, and said with a relaxed smile: "I don't know this.
After the Chinese scouts sent back the intelligence they had detected, what would the expressions of the commanders of the Anjia Army opposite be like? Would they feel helpless and depressed? Haha!"
Several staff officers in the office couldn't help laughing after hearing Harstein's light-hearted teasing.
At this time, the orderly brought a cup of hot coffee to Hastein. After Hastein finished it comfortably, Otto Rudolf said with some worry: "I'm always worried that the Anjia Army's scouts know too much about us.
Being thorough will allow their commanders to fully understand us and launch operations to target our weaknesses! Although I don’t know what they will do, based on their consistent performance, I always have an ominous premonition!”
Harstein waved his hand: "Don't worry, our defenses were even praised by Marshal von Rundsted who came to inspect. He said that such a strong defense line is better than the Crimean defense line built by the Soviets.
Not inferior, which shows how much confidence we have in persevering.
"So, what if our defenses are known to the Chinese? Under such a nearly perfect defense system, the Chinese can only leave corpses and tank wreckage on the ground after being suppressed, and retreat unwillingly!
Maybe we will create a miracle here!"
"I hope so!" Otto Rudolf shrugged helplessly.
At this time, the orderly brought breakfast, including a piece of bread, a piece of sliced ham and a piece of mashed potato soup with pepper. Harstein was about to eat when he suddenly felt something unusual in the air. He listened carefully.
After a while, he hurriedly stood up, walked out of the office, passed through the command post in front, and came to the observation mirror of the observation post. He kept turning the scope and carefully observed all the changes and abnormalities on the Anjiajun position opposite.
Otto Rudolf and several staff officers seemed to have sensed something unusual. They followed Harstein to the observation port and used various telescopes and scopes to check for any unusual movements on the Anjia Army's position at the foot of the mountain.
However, the Anjiajun position in front has not changed at all. There is still not even a shadow of a person, and every plant and tree is exactly the same as in memory.
In less than a minute, everyone heard a strange roar from far to near. This roar did not sound like the sound of a tank engine, but a continuous and steady sound.
The "buzzing" roar approached very quickly, and everyone felt a little bad feeling in their hearts.
