Chapter 2799
Yegor led Sokov and others to a field airport not far away. He saw many ground crew members and sentries along the way. They all looked at these people who suddenly appeared with curious eyes, but Since Yegor led the way, no one came to interrogate them.
The field airport was built on a clearing in the forest. There were several Soviet fighter jets parked near the forest, and ground crews were repairing or refueling fuel.
Seeing this, Sokov couldn't help but ask Yegor curiously: "Yegor, there are fighter planes here, but we can't send us to Mogilev."
"Don't worry, Comrade Major." Yegore said with a smile: "You will soon see the plane you are about to take."
Soon, everyone followed Yegor and walked into the woods. There was a plane covered with canvas, and there were several ground crew members next to it.
When he saw Yegor bringing people over, a famous ground crew immediately came over and asked, "Comrade Yegor, why did you bring them here?"
"It was the colonel who asked me to bring them over," Yegor explained to the other party. "I will use this plane to carry them on a special mission."
When the ground crew heard that Yegor was going to perform a special mission, they stopped asking questions, but instead called on their companions and pulled off the canvas covered on the plane.
After seeing the transport plane in front of him, Sokov couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, because what he saw was not a Soviet aircraft, but a Junker Ju52 transport plane painted with a white cross, which was the most important thing for the German army in World War II. The famous transport aircraft, which participated in almost all operations of the German army during the war, was the transport aircraft that the German army relied most on. This transport aircraft was strong and durable, so it won the nickname of "Aunt Juncker" by the German soldier, whom Allied soldiers called it "Anne of Steel".
"Yegor, what's going on?" Sokov asked in surprise: "Why is there a German transport plane here?"
"Comrade Major, I seized this transport plane." Yegor looked at Sokov and said with a smile: "You don't think I can escape from the German encirclement with my legs. Come out."
Sokov remembered that he had just heard from the Air Force colonel that an excellent pilot escaped from Kiev, and he didn't mind at that time. But at this moment, he realized that it was hundreds of kilometers from near Kiev to here. If he walked on two legs, he might still be halfway.
Thinking of this, he asked carefully: "Yegor, how did you seize this plane?"
"After I was separated from you in the Yagojing area, I followed the broken commanders and soldiers to the rear." Yegore explained: "I am lucky. After walking on the road for two or three days, I actually went there. I discovered a field airport of the German army, and the transport plane was parked near the edge of the forest. I saw that the guard at the airport was not far away, so I quietly touched the transport plane, and then when the person was not paying attention, Get into the plane and try to take off.
You also know that I used to be a fighter plane and I was not very familiar with transport planes. What's more, the dashboards are all German, and I can't understand them at all. After a long period of exploration, I basically mastered some of the performance of this aircraft. Just as I took off, I was discovered by the airport guards. They signaled my plane to stop immediately; while firing at my plane. When my plane took off, the German army sent a fighter plane to chase me and tried to shoot me down. ”
Yegor said this, pointing to some bullet holes on the fuselage and saying to Sokov: "Comrade Major, look, this is the crater left by the German plane when it was shooting."
When everyone checked the bullet holes on the fuselage, Basco suddenly asked a strange question: "Yegor, I'm very curious. In addition to the bullet holes on the fuselage, why are there many under the wings? Bullet hole, what do you explain?”
Hearing Basco's problem, the ground crew helped Yegor explain: "Our anti-aircraft machine gunner saw a German transport plane flying towards our location and immediately opened fire at it. Who knows Seeing the fierce air defense firepower on the ground, the transport plane not only did not turn around and escape, but also seemed to be preparing to make a forced landing. Seeing this, our commander thought it was an enemy who came to surrender, so he quickly ordered the anti-aircraft machine gunner to stop shooting. .”
"After the plane landed, when you were about to go up and catch the prisoners, you found that it was your own people coming out, right?" Sokov asked with a smile.
"That's right, Comrade Major, you're right." The ground crew also replied with a smile: "We were shocked when we saw the hatch door open and the person who came out from it was our own. Then Someone sent Comrade Yegor to his superiors, and after identification and review, he was asked to join our air force."
Sokov nodded, then turned around and said to Yegor, "Yegor, I congratulate you on your return to the combat sequence of the Air Force. To be fair, leave you in the combat force and treat you as an ordinary person. It's a waste to use the warrior."
"Yegor." Since Yeegor does not have a military rank at the moment, Arina directly called him by his name: "I want to ask, did you escape alone?"
"Yes, I escaped alone." Yegore might have guessed what questions Arina would ask, and before she could ask, she took the initiative to say, "When transferring from the Yagojing area, I will be with me. There are indeed many people who acted. But we have encountered many encounters with the German army along the way. Once we have experienced more battles, the troops will be disbanded. If someone acts with me, I will definitely take them after snatching the German plane. They left the encirclement together.”
Sokov thought of that important person in his mind and continued to ask, "Yegor, I remember that you have a good relationship with Romanov? Did you see his traces when you broke through this time?"
"No, Major Comrade." Yegore replied simply: "When I retreated, I didn't see his trace. Otherwise, I would definitely call him to go with me."
Seeing that Yegor had no news about Romanov, Sokov's heart couldn't help but sank. If Romanov really died, would it affect the future historical direction?
I was full of worry, but Sokov tried his best not to put this uneasy on his face, but continued to ask, "Yegor, do you have any good plans to take off before dawn? Let's tell us."
"Comrade Major, you also see that there is a white cross on this plane." Yegor explained to Sokov: "When this plane was flying in the air, our people saw it and thought it was a German plane. ; And when the Germans look at it, they will think that the plane is theirs."
"Well, it makes sense." Sokov nodded, "Stay on."
"The reason I suggest taking off before dawn is that even if the transport plane I am flying is discovered by the Germans, they will think it is a transport plane that airdrops paratroopers from the rear of our army and will not use anti-aircraft artillery fire to intercept it." Ye Ge Er continued, "In this way, I can find a suitable place to land, and let you get off the plane after the plane is stopped."
Sokov felt that Yegor was very thoughtful, so he turned around and asked Alina: "Lieutenant Alina, Mogilev is such a big place, where is the place we are looking for? You put the situation to Yegor Let me introduce it so that he can land the plane near the target location.”
Hearing Sokov's proposal, Arina pondered for a long time before nodding slowly and said, "Okay, I'll say."
Although she agreed to tell Yegor the approximate location, she did not say it in front of everyone, but pulled Yegor onto the transport plane and explained to the other party the approximate location to land in the cabin.
It was more than ten minutes later when Arina and Yegor came out of the cabin.
Alina turned her head and asked Yegor: "How is it? Is there a way to land in that place?"
Yegor nodded and said in a sure tone, "Don't worry, Lieutenant, I will definitely send you to the designated location safely."
Because it was still early to set off, Yegor took several people to a tent not far away to rest.
"Gay Major," everyone started chatting while idle, and the thing that Yegor was most interested in was how Sokov was promoted to major in such a short time: "Can you say , How did you get promoted from captain to major? ”
If someone asked about this, Sokov had no interest in telling it. But since Yegor asked about it, Sokov did not hide it and recruited himself by Potapov, the commander of the 5th Army, and made meritorious contributions in Mzensk. He went to Yegor in detail. Telled it once.
After listening to Sokov's speech, not only Yegor was shocked, but even Alina and others were also surprised. Especially when they heard Sokov say that Stalin himself promoted his military rank, they even respected him even more.
…………
With an hour left before dawn, everyone boarded the transport plane and prepared to head to the Mogilev area.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
When the plane engine began to roar, Sokov walked into the cab, approached Yegor's ear, and asked loudly: "Yegor, will there be no problems with this plane in the middle, right?" He asked this question, not It was a whim, but when the plane escaped from the enemy's field airport, it was chased by fighter jets and had many holes on the body. After entering the Soviet defense zone, it was regarded as an invasion. The German aircraft was hit by ground air defense firepower, leaving many bullet holes on the wings.
Hearing Sokov's question, Yegor also replied loudly, "Don't worry, comrade Major. The ground crew inspected the plane, and most of the craters on the fuselage were repaired, so we would not be able to do anything about our plane. Constitute any danger.”
After receiving Yegor's reply, Sokov felt much more at ease. He left the cockpit, returned to his seat and sat down, waiting for the plane to take off.
Arina also approached Sokov's ear at this moment and asked loudly: "Comrade Major, what did you just say to the pilot?"
Seeing that Alina was so curious, Sokov did not hide it, but repeated the conversation between the two just now to her, and finally said, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Alina, Yegor is the pilot I trust the most. , I believe he will definitely send us successfully to Mogilev."
"I hope so." Alina sighed softly and said, "As long as we can arrive at Mogilev as soon as possible, our chances of completing the task will be greatly improved."
After the plane took off, Sokov closed his eyes tightly, leaned against his fuselage, closed his eyes to rest, and began to think in his mind: Even if we find the prisoner-of-war camp where Yakov was imprisoned, how should we rescue him? You should know that in the last life, although I successfully rescued Yakov, I was commanding an army at that time. Taking advantage of the lack of vigilance in the prisoner-of-war camp, I launched a sneak attack, eliminated the guards, and rescued those who were detained in the prisoner-of-war camp. Comrades-in-arms. But now, the operation team has only four people, including itself. With just these few people, it is no less than a tiger's teeth pulling out.
I don’t know how long I had been flying, but Sokov suddenly felt Arina beside him shaking her arm, and at the same time was still calling herself: “Major, comrade Major!”
Hearing Alina calling herself, Sokov opened his eyes and looked at her and asked, "Is there anything wrong, Comrade Lieutenant?"
"Comrade Major," Alina asked with a serious expression, "I think of a key question now. How can we rescue Yakov after we find the prisoner-of-war camp? Anyway, just a few of us, They can't be rescued at all."
Seeing that Arina was also clearly aware of this problem, Sokov suddenly felt much more at ease. At least it shows that Arina is quite clear when she looks at things. In the next action, even if she cannot become her right-hand man, she will at least not drag her back.
Regarding the questions raised by Arina, Sokov did not come up with any good idea, so he could only say to her: "Lieutenant Arina, don't worry, we still don't know what the situation is like in the prisoner-of-war camp now. I think it’s not too late to study the rescue plan after I arrived at the place and confirmed the specific location of Yakov.”
Although I haven't known Sokov for a long time, Alina has already trusted him. When he hears this, he will naturally not object, but nodded and said, "Okay, Comrade Major, wait for us." After arriving at the local area, we will study the specific rescue plan."
"What should we do with this plane after we land?" Sokov continued, "Will you let it go back, or stay where you can wait for us?"
Alina may have never considered how to arrange the transport plane to transport her. At this moment, she was stunned when she heard Sokov ask, and then threw the question to Sokov: "What do you think, comrade Major? ”
"After we complete the rescue mission, we should evacuate this area in time to avoid being caught by the Germans who have caught up." Sokov decisively expressed his attitude: "So I think I can leave the transport planes in place and wait for us, maybe It's the best choice. I wonder if you have any different opinions on the decision you made about me?”
Arina knew very well that what Sokov said made a lot of sense. Once Yakov was successfully rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp, he had to leave the area as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the German pursuing troops catch up, no one will escape.
