I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 128 Have the Germans Found Us?
The two were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats. How could they have returned just in time?
The tall and thin man suddenly had an idea, "Commanders, the German army raided the special training base. We were outnumbered and all our comrades were killed. Only the two of us escaped!"

Lieutenant Colonel Antonov walked up to him and looked at him coldly.
"Oh, is it so?"

"Really? A lot of German soldiers have arrived, all of them are elite paratroopers. Sir, we just escaped and wanted to ask the garrison for reinforcement! Now it's great to see you coming." The tall and thin man was still performing desperately.

"Is it the German troops behind?" Antonov looked at the guy in front of him with a joking expression.

The tall and thin man turned around and saw that it was these German soldiers.

"Yes, it's them, sir. Let's go, these German soldiers are well-trained, let's retreat quickly!" The tall and thin man was so scared that he didn't have the courage to stay here any longer.

"That's enough, shut up!" The shorter student who escaped with him couldn't stand this guy's pretentiousness anymore, and shouted at Antonov with a look of death on his face.
"Please give me a gun. I am willing to buy time for everyone to evacuate! Please believe me." The student's tears were already flowing. He might also be regretting and grieving for his cowardice just now.

Lin Chen handed him a rifle, then pulled Antonov and others to retreat. He resolutely stepped forward with the gun, and pulled the trigger at the chasing German troops.

"Click."

It's an empty gun?
He looked at his instructor with a puzzled look, but found that the instructor was looking at him with a smile. The "German soldiers" who had chased him also took off their hoods one after another. They were all Soviet soldiers?

The soldiers and others who had been "executed" before also walked out slowly.

Now even if the two of them were stupid, they understood that this was the final test given to them by Antonov and Lin Chen.

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant Vaskov of the 104nd Company, st Battalion, th Airborne Regiment reports to you! The mission has been successfully completed, please review it!" After saying that, the "German troops" behind him removed all their disguises, revealing that they were the elite paratrooper regiment of the Soviet Army.

In order to make the assessment more realistic, Antonov selected an elite parachute team from the paratroopers guarding Moscow to "raid" the training ground and put the trainees to a test of both their souls and bodies.

Because he firmly believed that if the selected commandos were to participate in such a difficult mission, they would likely fall into the hands of the enemy, and loyalty to the motherland and the army was above everything else, so he carefully planned such a thing.

Whether the result is gold or gravel can be found out by testing it out.

The tall and thin man no longer had the slightest bit of smugness he had just now. His expression was full of regret and fear.

"Clap clap clap."

He slapped himself hard.

"Instructor, I was wrong. I shouldn't have backed down. Please give me a chance!" He grabbed Sergei's trouser leg and begged for mercy with tears and snot.

"Get away!" Sergei kicked the coward away in disgust, "Stay away from me, or you'll dirty my pants."

"Lieutenant Vaskov, I believe you have iron discipline for this shameful 'deserter'!" After Antonov said this, he turned around and sentenced the tall and thin man to death.

Because according to Soviet wartime laws, battlefield commanders could execute deserters.

Lieutenant Vaskov showed no mercy. He raised the MP40 submachine gun in his hand and fired a volley of bullets.

But when facing the short cadet soldier, he did not continue firing the gun in his hand. Instead, he looked at Antonov as if asking for advice.

Antonov could also feel everyone's gazes. After all, he had just shown some remorse. Now was the time to use him, so it would be a pity to execute him.

"Go now! Your last move just now saved your life. Today's incident is over, but you can only be eliminated by us."

The short student was not at all happy about having his life spared. Instead, he looked ashamed and even a little distraught. He took the luggage and equipment handed to him by the instructor and left dejectedly.

Walking to the military flag not far away, he took out a pistol and committed suicide, perhaps regretting his momentary cowardice.

"Alas, after cremation, the ashes will be sent to his relatives, and he will be considered as having died on the battlefield!" Antonov felt a little reluctant and decided to go against his principles once.

However, everyone soon held a grand welcome ceremony for the four newly selected team members, namely tank soldier Yakovlevich, infantry soldiers Bogdanov and Basarayev, and communications soldier Alekhine.

After passing numerous tests, they have fully demonstrated their superb military skills and absolute loyalty to the motherland and the army, and are capable of taking on this mission.

"Captain Lin Chen, how confident are you about this mission?" Although Antonov knew that it was inappropriate to ask this, he still couldn't help asking.

"To be honest, I don't like to brag. I can only tell you based on my own experience that the success rate is 50-50!" Lin Chen hesitated for a while, but decided to answer like this.

Antonov was very happy. He was used to seeing guys who promised loudly but failed to deliver. Moreover, in his opinion, the success rate of this mission would not exceed 20%. The fact that a soldier like Lin Chen could say it was 50-50 meant that he was halfway to success.

Therefore, he left the base extremely happily and promised that as long as the base had any needs, he would do everything he could to meet them!
Lin Chen actually knew that this mission was a life-threatening one, but he had to go, whether it was for the world war to save humanity or out of fear of the tremendous power of nuclear weapons.

In the following days, Lin Chen and the team members began devilish training. Because Norway is located in a high-latitude area and it will snow around October, they must learn to ski. There are also lakes and even oceans involved, so the team members' water skills are very demanding.

Lin Chen set an example for his teammates and completed everything he asked his teammates to do with higher quality and standards. This made the teammates, including Sergei, admire him very much, so their enthusiasm and motivation for training became higher, and everyone's technical and tactical levels improved rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the beginning of October. Time could no longer be delayed. Antonov decisively conveyed the order from the General Staff Headquarters, requiring the special operations team to set off on a transport plane early the next morning and plan to airdrop to the designated area at night.

The night before departure, all training was finally stopped and everyone gathered together to enjoy a rare sumptuous dinner, even with vodka, which was strictly prohibited in the military.

Everyone understood that this might be the best meal they had ever had in their life, so they drank happily and military discipline was thrown into the black sea.

Lin Chen was the one that everyone toasted the most. Not only did they toast, but they also told everyone about his combat experience. When Lin Chen picked out a few clips of his legendary experience to tell everyone, the blood of the team members immediately boiled. The Soviets admired heroes, especially the heroes who emerged in this Patriotic War. They were the role models for everyone to admire and strive for.

The next morning, when a Li-2 transport plane slowly came to a stop on the flat ground of the special training base, Lin Chen and the members of the "Red Star" Special Operations Team had already lined up and were waiting on the side.

When the plane door opened, it turned out to be Lieutenant Colonel Antonov and Lieutenant Vaskov?

Lieutenant Colonel Antonov jumped down the ladder swiftly and walked quickly to Lin Chen.

"Lieutenant Vaskov will be your guide for this trip. He is a native Norwegian and is very familiar with the Baren Mountains. With him, you will have a better chance of success! The most important thing is that he can speak German fluently."

"Comrade Lin Chen, I am well aware of your combat deeds. I hope to cooperate with you in your work." Lieutenant Vaskov stepped forward and saluted, and Lin Chen quickly returned the salute.

"No wonder your Russian is so stiff and you look so tall and mighty, haha!"

The two shook hands tightly. It is always a good thing to have more people to help.

"Okay, Comrade Lin Chen, let's take everyone on board quickly. The plane is full of fuel, and the relevant supplies and necessary equipment are all on it. It's up to you from now on. Good luck!" Antonov reminded again and again.

"Don't worry, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I will do my best to complete the mission."

Antonov felt a little strange when he heard that Lin Chen did not answer that he was determined to complete the task, but instead said that he would do his best. However, the situation was urgent at the moment. "Nightingale" sent another telegram yesterday, hoping that they would act quickly. The Germans had accelerated their development speed, and they must attack before they succeeded.

The carefully painted Li-2 transport plane quickly glided on the flat ground and then quickly disappeared into the northern sky.

Antonov looked at the direction where Lin Chen and his team were heading north, and said something that puzzled the guards nearby, "Compared with the interests of the country, what does personal honor and life count for?"

Then he got into the car waiting on the side and ordered the driver to drive away, leaving the special training base empty.

On the plane, Lin Chen carefully looked at the equipment on the transport plane. It was indeed very rich. Not only were there kayaks, but there were also ski equipment prepared for everyone, as well as a set of German military uniforms for each person, which were carefully made according to each person's size.

However, the other new team members were still curious and excited about being able to take a long-distance raid on a transport plane. After all, in this era, not many infantrymen had the opportunity to take a plane.

The plane flew north and arrived at a remote small coastal airport a little east of Leningrad for a transfer.

Everyone worked together to transfer supplies and equipment to another German JU52 transport aircraft, flying in German airspace. The best way was obviously to use German aircraft.

The Junkers 52 is a transport aircraft produced by the German Junkers company between 1932 and 1945. Its main uses are transportation, civil aviation and ground attack.

Because of its sturdy shell and sturdy appearance, it was nicknamed "Mother Junkers". But to be fair, this twin-engine transport aircraft was obviously outdated in 1943.

The most obvious shortcoming is its small take-off weight. When supplies and equipment were transferred from the Li-2 transport aircraft to this aircraft, it was noticeable that the cabin was more crowded.

However, the advantage is that this type of aircraft has good stability, so it is also used for civil aviation transportation in many countries.

Since Leningrad is still surrounded by the German army, Lin Chen and his team's plane can only continue to fly north and make a big circle before returning to their destination in Norway.

The driver then returns along the same route.

There were many German radars and fighter planes on this route, which made the risk factor very high. However, due to the German army's successive defeats on the Eastern Front, North Africa, Italy and other places, many fighter planes were transferred to other fronts, and the defense force here was significantly reduced at a visible speed.

Especially after Britain began its strategic bombing of Germany, the German Air Force's air defense mission on the Western Front became even greater, which made Antonov's plan feasible.

Despite this, the pilot still relied on his superb flying skills to fly close to sea level in order to avoid the German radar and fly low in the dark of night. In fact, even Lin Chen was worried about this.

Fortunately, the pilots were all well-tested ace pilots, and they were lucky along the way. The German planes did not intercept them, so when it was almost dawn, the planes finally arrived near Norway.

Maybe because of nervousness, everyone hardly slept and kept checking their equipment over and over again.

It was not until the navigator, Lieutenant Vaskov, signaled to Lin Chen that they were about to reach the target area that Lin Chen ordered everyone to stand up and make final preparations for the parachute drop.

He walked to the pilot and said thank you, and then the pilot also expressed his blessing to them, and then slowly opened the cabin door.

According to the original plan, several people worked together to airdrop the supplies first, and then filed out one after another.

Eight white parachutes opened in the air and floated towards the ground.

Below are several larger supply parachutes. Lin Chen and his team are silently calculating the distance between the equipment and them so that they can find them quickly.

The JU52 transport plane flew away quickly. For the next leg of the journey, the pilot had to fly for himself, and he had to go back, not knowing whether safety or death was waiting for him.

Winter comes really early in Norway. Although it is only the beginning of October, it has already snowed here. The mountains are all covered with heavy snow. Although it makes the search for supplies much easier, the whereabouts of the special operations team are more easily exposed because of the snow.

But they certainly couldn't think about these things at the moment. After the eight people gathered together, they found a place to bury the parachute equipment, and then they carried their weapons and searched in the direction of the landing of supplies.

They must find equipment, otherwise they won't be able to go far in this snowy forest, let alone carry out the mission.

After walking along a stream for about 20 minutes, we finally saw the parachuting equipment. However, to everyone's surprise, the wooden boxes that they packed the equipment in had been opened and the contents were turned into a mess.

A lot of food and drinks were taken away.

"Captain, what's going on? Have the Germans discovered us?" Sergei was a little nervous. If they were really discovered by the Germans and the enemy sent people to search the mountain, they would be doomed.
