Chapter 567 Divine soldiers descend from heaven

567 Divine soldiers descend from heaven

On the afternoon of the 13th, the fleet led by Meng Jifei successfully flew over the southern jungle.

"The fleet is our fleet."

In the jungle on the ground, Dugan, the captain of Task Force 101 who was protecting Stilwell, also saw the fleet of planes appearing in the sky.

The paratrooper company had just set out for the airport.

Ye Qingshan was at the headquarters and contacted Stilwell by radio.

Ye Qingshan told Stilwell that in a few hours, a group of aircraft would fly over them.

Ask them to make ground guidance signs and guide the paratroopers to the exact location.

Otherwise, if the fleet of planes flies over, things will be troublesome.

So, in the next few hours.

Task Force 101 continued to flee with Stilwell, avoiding the pursuit of the Japanese behind them.

Now, the number of Japanese troops chasing them is even greater.

There was a whole battalion of Japanese soldiers, more than 700 people, chasing them relentlessly.

Even Yamashita Tomoyuki, who was far away in Siam, received the news.

Knowing that they were there, the soldiers had already cornered Stilwell in a jungle.

Yamashita Tomoyuki gave a death order to the Japanese pursuit troops on the front line, requiring them to capture Stilwell at all costs.

Must be alive.

After all, capturing the Allied theater commander was a huge achievement.

In fact, if they could capture Stilwell, they could use him as a bargaining chip.

The captured Japanese prince and many generals were exchanged back from Ye Qingshan.

The thirty or forty people of Task Force 101 alone cannot hold on, and the larger the force, the less useful it is.

In the end, he couldn't even stop the enemy and could only flee desperately with Stilwell.

If there were no reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before they were caught up by the Japanese.

Because, with Stilwell's task force, their escape speed was not fast enough to shake off the Japanese pursuit.

In this situation, Ye Qingshan said that he would send paratroopers to meet Stilwell.

Stilwell was deeply moved.

"Quick, set up the guidance signs."

Captain Dugan shouted.

"No, it's too late."

Unfortunately, they had been running away just now, and now the plane was almost flying over their heads.

It's too late to set up guidance signs now.

Moreover, in the jungle terrain they are in now, it is difficult to find an open space to set up guiding signs.

In a hurry, Dugan immediately came up with an emergency solution.

"Quick, light the fire and make some smoke."

This would be enough for the fleet of planes flying in the sky to spot them.

However, doing so would also tell the Japanese who were chasing them their exact location.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

This is all we can do.

After a while, Meng Jifei, flying a fighter jet, saw thick smoke rising from the jungle below the left front side.

He immediately understood that this was the signal given to them by the task force.

Similarly, Shan Ying, the company commander of the paratrooper company on the transport plane, also saw the same scene.

"Transport crew, fly to the left front and reduce the flight speed."

Meng Jifei's order sounded in the communication channel.

"Everyone, prepare for airborne."

In the transport plane, Mountain Eagle also began to give orders to the paratroopers.

The paratroopers, carrying parachutes, lined up and waited to jump.

Not long after, the transport plane's door opened.

"Jump!"

Everyone jumped down one by one.

Soon, white clouds appeared in the sky and slowly fell down.

“He’s really a paratrooper.

Ye Qingshan actually has a group of paratroopers in his hands."

Stilwell was also shocked as he watched the paratroopers landing in front of them.

Once again, Stilwell's view of the National Army was overturned.

During this period, Stilwell's observations on Ye Qingshan had repeatedly overturned his previous views of the Nationalist army.

As an expert on China, Stilwell was very familiar with the domestic situation at that time.

Similarly, he was also familiar with the situation of the national army.

Therefore, before Ye Qingshan commanded the armored group to carry out a large-scale penetration operation, he did not believe that the Kuomintang generals had such level.

As for paratroopers, the US military also has them.

But even the US military paratroopers have never participated in actual combat.

Not everyone can play the high-difficulty new soldier type, the paratrooper.

In Stilwell's previous understanding, the National Army had no paratroopers, let alone generals who knew the word paratrooper.

Unless he is a general who has returned from a Western military academy, he may have read military publications about paratroopers in foreign countries.

Can know some.

After the teams of paratroopers completed their landing, they gathered nearby to collect the equipment and supplies that dropped from the transport planes.

Then, they gathered in small teams towards Stilwell's location.

But, at the same time.

The Japanese soldiers chasing behind also saw the smoke set off by the task force and rushed over.

As a result, the paratrooper company, which had just landed not long ago, engaged in a firefight with the pursuing Japanese.

"Baga, they are American paratroopers."

The leader of the team, a Japanese captain, thought that the people falling were American paratroopers.

I didn't even think about the expeditionary force.

After all, the Japs didn't believe in this theoretical type of troops, and even they were still groping for it, so it was impossible for the expeditionary force to have it.

Little did people know that Ye Qingshan's paratroopers were definitely the most mature paratrooper unit in the world at that time.

Because Ye Qingshan used a paratrooper plan that had been explored and matured by countless people in later generations.

This was perfected by countless paratrooper predecessors over decades.

They are all summarized from the lives lost.

Unlike this time, the paratroopers of various countries are still in the initial exploratory stage and are not mature.

The Japanese paratroopers are even more unworthy of being used.

"Quick, speed up and rush over.

Stilwell must be ahead, we must catch him."

The captain of the Japanese team was also anxious and gave orders.

Originally, the Japanese captain was not in a hurry at all. He thought that he just needed to chase them slowly and wear out all the soldiers of Task Force 101.

Stilwell would be theirs sooner or later.

After all, within dozens of kilometers around here, there is vast primitive jungle.

It was like a cage that Stilwell could not escape from.

But now, looking at the paratroopers descending from the sky, the Japanese captain panicked.

Boom boom boom!

Fierce firefight broke out in the jungle.

With the three hundred paratroopers landing, they were not afraid even when facing seven hundred pursuing Japanese soldiers.

Those who are selected for the paratrooper company are the elite among the elite.

The fighting power is just right.

In terms of equipment, the rocket launchers and mortars dropped from the air made them no less powerful than the Japanese.

Soon, dense gunfire was heard in the surrounding jungle.

Even Stilwell, who was at the center of the incident, felt terrified.

At this time, in the jungle, the Jiaolong team that had just landed and gathered together also gathered together.

The seven people didn't speak during the whole process, and they communicated with gestures.

Although the seven of them nominally belonged to the paratrooper company, they were actually the first special operations team created by Ye Qingshan.
