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

Chapter 86 Parachuting Behind Enemy Lines
In order to cover the parachute drop of Lin Chen and others, the Soviet army specially chose the midnight time when the German air defense forces were relatively relaxed. At the same time, they used air force to cooperate with bombing in another direction, and the ground forces also made a series of feint attacks.

Looking from the plane, there was fierce gunfire on the ground and in the air in the distance. In order for Lin Chen and others to sneak in successfully, countless people would die tonight.

Since both sides have deployed a large number of air defense forces on the border, it would be extremely unwise to just cross it.

Therefore, the plan proposed by Antonov was to cross the border from the Bryansk area in the north where the enemy's defense was relatively weak, and then fly south. After Lin Chen and others parachuted, they flew directly back to the Soviet defense zone from the German-occupied area.

The captain told Lin Chen that since the fuselage was painted in the colours of the German Air Force, they had to return at the specified time. Otherwise, if they did not encounter the arranged pick-up aircraft, it would be easy for them to be shot down by their own anti-aircraft guns.

Lin Chen naturally expressed his understanding. No one opened fire on them as they flew over, and the German ground air defense forces did not ask from the air. It must be said that their luck was extremely good.

After flying for about an hour and a half, they finally reached the target area. Lin Chen led everyone out one after another, and the captain wished them good luck through the loudspeaker.

In order to avoid being discovered by the German army to the greatest extent possible, although the time for parachuting was chosen in the second half of the night, and it was a low-altitude parachute jump, everyone still felt a little scared. After all, this was a German-occupied area, and the wind was very strong after jumping down, and the parachute would inevitably be blown away, so the first step was to gather people first.

It was pitch black under Lin Chen's feet, and fortunately the scene of sudden firing in mid-air did not occur.

Although he tried his best to observe the surrounding buildings or other reference objects, the effect did not seem to be very good.

The system did not enhance his vision, so like everyone else, he could only wait patiently in anxiety for the parachute to float to the ground, hoping that there was no swamp below.

Finally, after landing in a standard parachuting posture, Lin Chen arrived safely behind enemy lines.

After landing, he quickly removed the black parachute cloth covering his head, took out a submachine gun from behind, looked around vigilantly, and after making sure there was no danger, he began to pack up his parachute equipment.

Before setting off, he repeatedly stressed that all traces of the parachute jump must be eliminated, because after daybreak the German patrols would notice someone parachuting, which would cause endless trouble.

"Starlight?" Suddenly, he noticed someone behind him, and his hair stood on end. He quickly dropped the things, pointed the gun backwards, and opened the safety as quickly as possible.

"Captain Lin, is that you? I'm Kirilenko." A voice came over in a low voice.

When Lin Chen heard it, he realized that it seemed to be the voice of his team member.

But he still didn't dare to be careless, "You should reply to the password! And call my code name!"

"Sorry, Ghost, Shine!" Another sentence in Russian. The reply was completely correct. It must be one of ours.

"I'm here!" Lin Chen shouted softly. The night was too dark. Although the enemy couldn't see them, it became extremely difficult for everyone to communicate with each other.

"It would be nice to have a walkie-talkie," Lin Chen muttered softly.

"What is a walkie-talkie?" Kirilenko had already walked over at this time. When he heard his captain talking about a walkie-talkie, he was immediately confused.

"It's a military secret. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Lin Chen couldn't explain it, so he could only be vague.

Fortunately, the other party did not ask any further questions, because the most important thing to solve now is to gather people, and there is not much time left before dawn. "Have you seen anyone else?"

"No, but when I jumped down just now, I was jumping very close to the squirrel (Lech). He seemed to be a little ahead of us. It was too dark and I couldn't see clearly." Kirilenko answered in a low voice.

"It's okay. We can't see them, and the Germans can't see them either. This is actually a good thing! Have you buried your parachute equipment?"

"It was in the back. I didn't have time to fix it. I heard the noise coming from your place, so I rushed over."

"Okay, go clean it up, try not to leave any traces, either bury it or find a tree hole to hide it, do you understand?"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Lieqi hurried back, not forgetting to look back, "Ghost, don't leave, wait for me, otherwise I won't be able to find you."

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon." Lin Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although these soldiers had undergone rigorous training, they still lacked in actual combat and it was difficult for them to be comprehensive.

It’s a pity that there aren’t enough opportunities to train them. In this kind of operation, no one knows how many will survive in the end?
After the two of them dealt with it, they continued to move forward and indeed encountered Lechi who was digging a hole to bury something.
Lieqi was very excited to see the two of them. What could be more exciting than meeting one of their own in the dark behind enemy lines?

Lin Chen asked Lieqi if he had seen other people. He said helplessly that the wind was strong and he and the others were blown away, so he did not notice them.

This was really a headache. People couldn't concentrate and would be in trouble if they fell into the enemy's hands. Although he believed that his soldiers could withstand the enemy's torture, this was the rear of the Ninth Army and the commander was the famous General Model (he was not yet an army marshal at that time).

Once he knew all this, he would definitely dispatch elite troops to capture me. By then, not only would I not be able to complete the mission, but even returning alive would be a luxury.

Continuing forward, they were lucky enough to meet Sergei and two other soldiers. Now there were six of them, which was barely enough to carry out the mission.

"Raincoat!" Lin Chen gave the order. Kirilenko and Lech were slightly stunned, but they quickly reacted. They took out German military raincoats and put two layers on Lin Chen's head.

Except for two people who were left on guard, everyone lay on the ground and got into raincoats.

"We came from that side and saw a railway running north-south. The sign to the north was Oryol." Sergei was a rough but meticulous person, and he had been paying attention to reference objects on the roadside as he came here.

Lin Chen immediately turned on the flashlight and used the military map and compass to observe the map.

The German military raincoats are made of very thick material, and no light can be seen from the outside. The quality is really good.

After a while, Lin Chen figured it out and told his men to put away their equipment. Then he called everyone to come to him.
"Based on Grizzly's (Sergey) description and other things we saw, I guessed that we were in the southwest corner of Orel Station. Next to it was a road heading towards Karachev, and to the west of it was Karachev. My idea was that we should move forward along the road and see if we could catch a 'tongue' and feel the way. Otherwise, if we bumped around blindly, we would easily run into the main force of the German army."

"I'll go and catch the tongue!" Sergei volunteered.

"Okay, Squirrel, you go with him. Remember, try not to shoot. Just one living person is enough. The other corpses and the like must be dealt with cleanly! Be sure to come back before dawn."
