Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 298: Flying Team (middle)

"They're there!" The observer standing on the outer fence of the command tower shouted loudly, extending his finger in the direction to find the target. ¥f,.

"Well, it's them, they are very punctual." Major Thierry raised his wrist and looked at the time, then nodded to his subordinates. This is the normal performance of the professional army. Where is the group of uncles of the colonial air force, and in the past flight transition plan, when did they not make a mistake.

Hele Air Force Base (which also translates place names as Huale or Heluo) is the only airport built solely for military purposes in the Tokyo area of ​​Vietnam. The responsibility originally assigned to it was to protect the airspace from Tokyo to Haiphong. But in fact, because the former governor was a peace-loving liberal, the Air Force of French Indochina was continuously weakened. In the end, the air force stationed at this airport only had three Dwatina 510 and two old-fashioned New Zealand. Porter often fails to lift off due to lack of parts. This kind of air power, let alone protect Tokyo Sea Defense, may not even protect himself.

Before the arrival of Jean Degu, the French Indochina authorities could only rely on a pile of broken copper and iron and old and weak soldiers to protect their airspace, and it was no wonder that the former Governor Karut would be discouraged and made a decision to compromise with the Japanese army. However, the current situation is very different. With Germany's back in support of France, it is much tougher. Especially after the **** battle with Deng, the Japanese’s activities on the border line during this period of time obviously converged a lot. The original garrisons in northern French Indochina finally let out a sigh of relief, and the reinforcements from the south continued. It is to let them regain their confidence. Looking at the arrogant face of the French defenders who are on duty at the border, we know that the French have now recovered their pride in front of the Japanese.

When French engineers built the air force base, they planned according to the standards of European large military airports. In order to be able to take off and land large transport aircraft, they built a rammed earth runway with a length of 2,200 meters. At the same time A taxiway of the same length was also built on the side of the runway, and a tarmac large enough to park a flying brigade at the same time, the French were not satisfied with this. In the end, an additional runway was built on the side of the airport at an angle of 60 degrees to the main runway. As a result, in such a huge airport, only five old aircraft were parked pitifully, exposing the essence of the French Indochina garrison outside the country.

"Black Hawk. This is Violet. We see you. Please land on runway 1. It's done." The controller pressed the radio button to start the German squadron landing.

This kind of light rain is not a problem for experienced pilots. After confirming the position of the runway. The German fighter squadrons began to form a column, surrounding the runway and entering the four-sided landing route, and then one after another landed on the wet runway. Because of the special climatic conditions here in Vietnam, the rainy season is very long. This was considered during the construction of the airport. The runway was rolled and rammed very solid. Not only ordinary rainwater is difficult to penetrate, but even weeds cannot grow on weekdays. The root can ensure that the airport can be used normally during the long rainy season.

Fully armed fw190. It was the first time that the French saw this advanced fighter jet as they roared low from the front of the command tower. All the people present praised this masterpiece of the German aviation industry. As the commander of the squadron, Major Sporru, in accordance with the German practice when landing at an unfamiliar airport, ranked first in the formation to land, one was to check the condition of the runway, and also to make a demonstration for his subordinates.

The Air Force major piloted her mighty war machine, landing on the runway gently like a feather. The landing gear landed at three points at the same time, showing the driver's solid skills. When the fighter plane marked with the captain's oblique angle on the fuselage slowly slid into the apron. Major Thierry, who had arrived there long ago, greeted him quickly with his adjutant and several French ground crew.

Pulling the door latch firmly and pushing back the hatch, Major Sporru stood up from the cockpit, turned his head quickly out of the cabin, and stretched his legs lightly on the feet on the fuselage. Flying over the apron.

"Welcome, welcome, I am the commander of the base, Major Thierry." Thierry stepped forward with a smile, spread his hands to give the German pilot a warm hug, but then he was caught in front of himself The sight was startled.

I saw that the German pilot took off the black flying cap, revealing a beautiful and delicate face. Although he has short boyish blond hair, this face can never be a man. The French major's open arms stiffened in the air, with an embarrassed expression on his face. At present, the other party's gender is unknown. If he is embraced, will he be shot dead on the spot.

"Major Sprague, the commander of the Luftwaffe Asian Task Force." Sprague's performance on the major has long been common. He smiled and extended his hand to the other party.

Listening to the sound is more certain that the German flight captain is indeed a woman. Thierry quickly folded his arms and took the other hand. This is the first time such a thing has happened in this life, and Thierry doesn't know what attitude to use to communicate with the other party.

The French army is a completely male society. The favorite slogan is that women walk away from the war. Except for the nurses in the military hospital, there is no woman from top to bottom. After flying became a trend, several deviant female pilots also appeared in France, but they all performed in folk, and have not heard of entering the army. But in front of him, this man was not only a woman, but also an officer. What surprised Thierry was that the other party had the same rank as him. Thinking of the old colonel here, I couldn't help but feel a little sorrow from it. I had spent most of my life, but the result was not as fast as a young girl.

"Major Thierry, please wait a moment, I still have some luggage on the plane." Sporu said to Thierry.

"No problem, major, we have time." Thierry finished his eyes at the adjutant holding him by his side.

"Oh?" The other person blinked at him with his head tilted.

"Umbrella!" Thierry whispered, clenching his teeth.

"Oh!" Lieutenant Simon nodded suddenly, and then handed the umbrella in his hand to the German major.

"Oh, thank you very much." Shi Boru was not hypocritical, she nodded directly to Simon, then held an umbrella and walked to her landline.

"My God." Thierry raised his face and sighed to the raindrops. What did he do, and found such a fool as an adjutant. Major Thierry was sore in the rain. He walked to the side of the car parked and pulled out another umbrella from the car.

As the German fighters landed one after another, the apron quickly became busy. Groups of ground crews pulled a German fighter jet and arranged them neatly around the apron. All kinds of French orders are full of French grounds in raincoats.

"In a few moments, we will take the aircraft to the hangar and park it. We have five large hangars, enough for all of your aircraft." Thierry rarely corrects his mentality. He decides to treat the other party first. Military officers of the same rank look at it. As for the rest, they will wait until they are contacted. Anyway, these Germans have to stay at this base for a long period of time, and some have time to find a proper and appropriate response.

"For the time being we can only do this. The ground crews of the task force have to carry a large amount of equipment and materials, so they can only walk from the highway. They will arrive in two days after tomorrow, and the repair and maintenance work will wait until they arrive. It can only be started afterwards," Sporu replied.

"Before they arrive, we can do something like refueling," Major Thierry said.

"That's great. If something happens, we can immediately dispatch. You are very thoughtful, Major Thierry." Sporu praised the French Major's proposal.

The German pilots were gathering in line beside the taxiway. After the gathering, the brigade's administrative assistant stepped in front of Shi Boru and gave her a salute report.

"The first squadron has assembled, and this time it landed smoothly, sir."

"Very good, everyone carries personal belongings, French friends will take you to the residence, give you two hours of organization and rest time, and gather in the base's conference room two hours later to summarize today's flight." Shi Boru The face was serious, the command came loudly.

"This is Lieutenant Simon. He will take you to the rest room." Thierry pushed Simon to the German adjutant.

"Observe the order, sir." The administrative adjutant glanced at the French second lieutenant, then paid a military salute to Sporu, and turned around and hurried back to the queue immediately after receiving the salute.

"The Luftwaffe is indeed well-trained. So Major Sprague, are you going to sit in my office or rest in your residence, we have specially arranged an officer suite for you and your adjutants." Thierry was attentive Asked.

"Let's finish the official business first. I brought the letter from Major General Duval of the Air Force of French Indochina, which requires you to do a sign." Sporu replied.

"Then please go here, the office is far away, you need to go by car, Major Sparrow." Thierry made an inviting gesture sideways and then walked to the car with an umbrella.

Sporu straightened the military cap on his head, carried the umbrella in one hand and lifted the luggage in one hand, turned his face to look at the fighter group under the rain curtain, and then strode to follow Thierry. (To be continued.)
