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

Chapter 85 Final Mission Issued

Most of the soldiers who jumped down were able to open their parachutes and slowly land on the ground.

But when Hanta was coming down, he pulled the main parachute but there was no response, which really panicked him.
For someone who is afraid of heights, how could he tolerate this when he finds out that the main parachute is useless even if he pulls it up at high altitude?

He quickly pulled the spare parachute, but it didn't work?
When faced with this one in ten thousand chance, Hanta's first reaction was that this was the end of me!

At this critical moment, a figure flew over. By adjusting his posture, Lin Chen managed to synchronize his descent speed with Hanta. He gestured hard to ask Hanta to stop pulling the rope.

Although Hanta was panicking, he felt relieved when he saw Lin Chen flying over.

Due to the rapid fall, the wind was so strong that people could not speak at all and could only communicate with simple gestures.

Seeing that Hanta was no longer struggling, Lin Chen decisively pounced on her and hugged her.

Help him hook the rope onto himself, then pull open his main parachute!

The huge cushioning force almost made Hanta faint, which was why Lin Chen had to hook onto himself. Relying solely on the strength of his arms was not enough, and he would be bounced away due to inertia.

Even so, Lin Chen still took a huge risk, because he was equipped with a single parachute, which might not be able to hold the weight of two people. Fortunately, the quality of the Soviet parachute was quite good, and Hanta was relatively small, so he could barely hold on.

He slapped Hanta hard in the air to wake him up. He had to get ready for landing, this was very important.

Fortunately, Hanta finally woke up, and he also understood that the time left for the two of them was short. Because of the relationship between the two people, their descent speed was obviously much faster. If they just went down like this, there would be a high probability of casualties.

So Lin Chen kept looking for a place suitable for a "soft landing", and finally found a haystack on a pasture. He accurately adjusted the direction of the parachute, and finally landed on the haystack without any danger.

Hanta, who survived the disaster, was so excited that tears filled his eyes. Lin Chen saved his life again!

At this time, the other team members who parachuted from the air landed one after another. Except for one person who unfortunately fell into the swamp and died during landing, and another person who broke his bones due to improper posture when jumping down, the others landed smoothly and successfully completed the parachute training mission.

Although everyone is very sad about the comrades who were killed or injured and eliminated, this is war and everything must be based on actual combat. In a real parachute drop, the enemy situation is complex and casualties are inevitable.

The 101st Airborne Division of the US Army later had a famous saying, "We paratroopers are born to be surrounded."

It vividly illustrates the cruelty of airborne operations.

There are still some objections to the final list, because although Hanta did not complete the assessment because his parachute could not be opened, he still did not complete it. Should he still be listed as an official team member?

Regarding this point, Lin Chen discussed with Major Antonov and finally decided to let Hanta fly again.

In the subsequent skydiving process, Hanta jumped and landed alone, and finally completed the assessment with great success. However, only he himself knew that if Lin Chen had not kicked him out of the cabin door last time, he would probably have really retreated.

He could only keep his gratitude to Lin Chen silently in his heart.

Finally, the eleven-member "Red Star" special operations team selected by Lin Chen, including his own, was officially established. Antonov came to convey the superior's order that night, which was also the original intention of establishing this special forces.

"Comrades, it is already June. The Germans have mobilized a large number of troops in the Kursk region and may launch a major military operation there. The Supreme Command requires our intelligence department to find out the enemy's offensive trends. Now I give the order!"

Everyone stood at attention, looking serious.

"The Red Star Special Operations Team will fly to the rear of the enemy's Central Army Group and find its headquarters. It would be best if they could get the German offensive plan and then find a way to come back."

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat. What did it mean to find a way to come back? Was there no one to help?

After the meeting, Antonov gave Lin Chen an envelope sealed with wax.

The words "Top Secret" are printed on it.

"At the headquarters of the Ninth Army of the German Army Group Center, there is a comrade of ours, codenamed 'Nightingale'. If you encounter an emergency, you can contact him. The contact information is in this envelope, as well as the way back. Remember, burn it after reading! Comrade Lin Chen, I wish you good luck. I will be waiting for your triumphant return in Moscow."

"Make sure to complete the mission!" Lin Chen knew the dangers of going deep behind enemy lines, but he was doing this job in his previous life. Besides, isn't the frontal battlefield dangerous?
When no one was around, he gently opened the envelope and read the contents twice to make sure he had memorized them. Then he lit a match and burned the paper completely.

"It seems that the task is very difficult!" Lin Chen straightened his clothes and walked slowly out of his room.

At night, at a remote military airport far away from the front line, in front of a captured Junkers 88 transport plane, Lin Chen led the "Red Star" special operations team to make final preparations.

They were dressed in the uniform of the German Wehrmacht and equipped with the equipment of a standard German squad. Among them, Lin Chen, as the only "German" officer in the team, was wearing a second lieutenant uniform. His plain epaulettes were completely different from those of other team members. In order to look realistic, he also wore a ribbon of the First Class Iron Cross Medal on his chest button.

He was carrying a shiny new MP40 submachine gun with 180 rounds of ammunition. The officer's pistol on his waist was replaced with a Luger pistol. He was wearing loose military trousers and black leather boots.

The most astonishing thing is that Antonov found a makeup artist from somewhere and carefully changed his appearance. His original Chinese appearance has completely disappeared, and was replaced by a European face.

他的最新身份是德第二集团军的第23军216步兵师533团2营3连副连长。

This identity was chosen by the Soviet Intelligence Department based on the intelligence brought back by the front-line reconnaissance, and then a comprehensive analysis and comparison was made.

Because the area where they were going to parachute was the defense zone of the Ninth Army, it would be easy to be exposed if they used the number there. In addition, the 216th Infantry Division of the Second Army was relatively weak and had little fame in the German army, so it was not easy to be noticed.

Although Sergei was the machine gunner of the action team, his cover identity was a corporal.

The position of "platoon leader" was given to Hanta, and he also carried an MP40 submachine gun. The reason was simple: Hanta's German was more fluent, and he cooperated more skillfully with Lin Chen.

The other team members were also carrying Type 98 Mauser rifles and were in high spirits. With the Junkers 88 transport plane painted in German military livery behind them undergoing the final takeoff inspection, this was definitely an elite German squad!
