Chapter 498 Raid

While Lyudmila played her role as a clergyman and sang loudly to boost morale, in the area controlled by Prosen, the Komanda commando Koniv landed with both feet on the ground.

Then he fell on his butt.

Gonif stood up cursing: "Why do I have to squat on my butt every time I skydive?"

Cassino, who landed first before him, walked over while retracting his parachute: "It's because you have been trying to be lazy during parachute training, so that's why you are like this. Stop talking nonsense, we are in enemy-occupied territory, maybe someone has seen the parachute, and will Come search us.”

Upon hearing this, Koniv quickly stood up and began to collect the parachute quickly.

Casino first folded the parachute into squares and stuffed it into the camouflage bag. He found a nearby tree and stuffed it under the roots, and covered it with some fallen leaves and soil.

Then he checked the weapons he carried.

At this time, Gonev folded his parachute and found a tree. While hiding, he asked, "Have you seen where our weapons packs were thrown?"

"I saw it. It's less than a hundred meters to the north. Check the weapons and let's go get them."

For the safety of parachute jumps, paratroopers cannot carry too heavy equipment, so in addition to sidearms and a few magazines, all heavy equipment and additional ammunition must be placed in special airdrop tubes and dropped.

The Komanda is different from the paratroopers. They need explosives, detonators and other things to carry out special sabotage missions. Carrying airdrops with them is not only dangerous, but also easy to break (referring to the detonator) during the landing process.

So generally each Komandar group has a weapons box that lands together.

Soon Cassino and Gonev found the weapons box assigned to them and took out the timing device, explosives and additional weapons.

While arming himself, Gonif asked: "Do you want me to steal some of Prosen's military uniforms? It just so happens that you can speak Prosen, so you can tell the truth if something goes wrong."

Cassino: "Come on, if we wear what we are wearing now, we are soldiers and enjoy the protection of the Geneva Convention. If we put on the Prosen uniform, we are all spies, and there is no convention to protect us."

Goniff: "Do you think Prosin will abide by the convention?"

"We have all been captured. We can only take a gamble. It is best not to be captured. Fortunately, this mission is very simple. We only need to instruct the Ant Air Force. We don't have to bomb it ourselves, so we can sneak in and stay. Time bomb, then quietly come out and go to the next target.”

Gonif asked doubtfully: "Then you still bring so many explosives?"

"I'm afraid of what will happen if the Ant Air Force fails to explode. Rokossov needs time to assemble his troops, and it's up to us to buy time."

"You're quite interested. You're not from Ant." Gonif said.

Cassino sighed: "I fell in love with the doctors in the hospital. They actually have female doctors, can you believe it?"

"What? A female doctor?" Konif was shocked, "Can a girl go to medical school? It's not just a nurse trying to catch up, right?"

"No, no, I talked to her. She really graduated from medical school. I have never seen anything like this. I am really moved!"

"Fuck you, you Castilian, when did you stop being tempted!"

As he spoke, Gonif stuffed all the equipment on his body: "I'm ready, let us set up the bomb for your love!"

"You should also find one." Cassino said, "Ante's girls are all very good, and they have a unique sense of beauty!"

"I don't know Antese, you bastard!" Gonif cursed, stood up and wanted to leave, but suddenly squatted down.

Cassino was shocked: "What's wrong?"

"Shh, listen."

Cassino lay down next to Goniff and soon heard the sound of the engine.

"It's like a Proson bucket truck." Cassino was more familiar with engines and the like and recognized it right away.

Sure enough, a barrel truck stopped not far away, and four Plosen people got out and kept saying something loudly in Plosen.

Cassino: "They just noticed a plane flying over. They didn't see the parachute. They just came to confirm the situation. Fortunately, we can leave."

"Hey, wait a minute." Goniff pulled Cassino, "There are only four of us, we are in the whole car. It is very tiring to walk so far, and we have two goals, and there are still ten kilometers between them. Woolen cloth."

Casino thought for a moment and nodded: "You're right, the whole car."

So the two of them took off the explosives and stuff on their bodies at the same time and put them on the ground, pulled out their tactical knives, then split into two groups and tiptoed toward the four enemies, disappearing into the night.

The enemies were spread out widely. Although they were in search mode, the safety of the 98K in their hands was not even turned on.

After all, they were troops on the Eastern Front and had never encountered an attack from Komanda.

The first unlucky ones were the enemies on the left and right wings. As if they were pulled into the darkness by invisible hands, the two people disappeared in an instant without even making a sound.

The remaining two people were still talking loudly, not realizing that two of their companions had already died.

After more than ten seconds, one of the two finally felt something was wrong, turned around and asked: "Hans? Hans, stop playing, I know you are scaring us both!"

Soon enough, Cassino stood up in front of him and shouted: "Haha!"

The Prossen man was startled and was about to raise his gun, but his throat was cut with a knife.

The last person was attracted by Casino, turned around suddenly, raised his gun and pulled the trigger, and then found that the safety was not on.

Like a fish suddenly bursting out of the water, Gonif grabbed the Prosin man's chin with one hand, and gracefully slit his throat with a knife with the other hand.

The last enemy fell suddenly, and Goniff raised his hand and threw the shiny object towards Cassino: "Keys! I don't know which one is the car key."

Cassino took the key: "You actually remember which enemy drove the car?"

"Of course, it's not difficult."

Cassino ran towards the barrel truck, while Goniff quickly ran back to the place where they were hiding, picked up their equipment, and ran back again.

In this way, the two set off in the car.

At the same time, multiple Komanda groups landed in an area more than 100 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide, rushing towards their assigned goals.

They would plant time bombs in daytime bombing targets, and the fire and smoke caused by these bombs would indicate the targets for the Ant Air Force bombers.

The reason for this is that many pilots in the Ant Air Force have less than two hundred flying hours, and it is really difficult for them to directly identify targets.

Moreover, Komanda is an experienced veteran and can choose the most critical targets to set up bombs, so that even if all air strikes miss, it can still cause certain damage.

In addition, Komanda is also particularly good at puncturing car tires.

The Plosans were completely unaware of all this.

On the morning of October 19, at 0830 hours, the Sixth Army Headquarters of Prosen.

Army commander General Wilhelm von Frederick entered the headquarters on time.

The staff officers did not stop what they were doing to salute, but just raised their heads to say hello to Frederick: "Good morning, General."

Frederick kept nodding in response until he reached the map table and then asked the army chief of staff: "Is there anything I need to know last night?"

"Many troops heard the sound of Ant aircraft, not night witches, but large transport aircraft. Many troops sent out search teams to prevent the Ant from airborne." The chief of staff reported, "No enemies have been found so far."

Admiral Frederick nodded, and at this time the orderly brought coffee and breakfast to him and placed them on the table.

The admiral picked up the coffee cup: "Thank you, Hank."

The old orderly nodded and turned to leave. At this time, the messenger broke into the headquarters: "General! The air defense observation post discovered that the large fleet of Ant Army aircraft was flying towards our rear."

Admiral Frederick looked at the messenger: "How many aircraft groups are there? Give me an accurate number."

Messenger: "There are many. Some observation posts said they saw hundreds of them."

Chief of Staff: "This should be the first thing the new front commander will do, but it's a little different from what I imagined."

"What?" Admiral Frederick looked at the Chief of Staff, "You should have studied Rokossov carefully. Doesn't his action match your prediction?"

The chief of staff nodded: "Rokossov should take immediate measures to quickly improve the situation faced by the Ant Army. He did this before in Yeisk. But... air strikes? The Ant Air Force attacked our army's supply line before. The intensity of the air strikes is not low, but because of your excellent camouflage strategy, general, all the targets you bombed were false.”

"I also learned my camouflage strategy from Rokosov." Admiral Frederick smiled. "I am not like the arrogance of the high command, who naively thought that the Ant people were useless. In the end, Rokosov was Sov is having a great time."

Chief of Staff: "Only by recognizing the enemy's strengths and learning from them can you become a famous general."

General Frederick smiled and asked: "By the way, are our air defense forces ready? Once the disguise is seen through, we must quickly establish an air defense firepower network at key nodes."

"Of course, all anti-aircraft artillery units have been prepared. In just one hour, they can enter the preset air defense positions and provide anti-aircraft firepower."

"Very good, very good." Frederick squinted his eyes with satisfaction, looked at the map, and started drinking coffee.

Then the phone rang.

The chief of staff picked up the phone: "Army Headquarters. Where was it bombed? What? Okay, got it."

He put down the phone and looked at General Frederick with a serious face: "General, our largest supply depot has been..."

The phone rang again.

"Sorry." The chief of staff picked up the receiver and said, "Headquarters. What? Was it bombed again?"

At this time, more phone rings rang, and for a moment the entire headquarters was filled with the tinkling sound of phone bells, as if the two phone calls just now had awakened a cluster of monsters named "Telephones".

Admiral Frederick maintained his posture of drinking coffee and looked at everyone in the room with a gloomy face.

The chief of staff put down the phone, looked at the others, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then reported to Frederick: "General, almost all key supply nodes of our army have been attacked by enemy air attacks."

Admiral Frederick took a deep breath and put down his coffee cup: "Let the air defense troops enter and prevent subsequent air strikes first. Then tell me, how did the enemy discover these supply nodes?"
