Volume 1 Entering the War of Resistance Chapter 28 Journey to Europe (2)

  At this moment, Jacqueline's nephew, who was less than a year old, began to cry again. Her sister-in-law unbuttoned her blouse and started breastfeeding the little boy. She didn't know how much temptation this action posed to the several soldiers present. As the saying goes, "When you've been a soldier for three years, even a sow becomes a Diaochan", these men had been soldiers for more than three years. The squad leader and several soldiers stared straight at Jacqueline's sister-in-law's exposed breasts, as if they wanted to pounce on them.

  Liu Xun saw that things were not going well and said to a squad leader: "You few go up and defend, I'll take care of this place."

  "Wait a minute, this order isn't to leave none behind, is it? I think we're wasting our time, why don't we..." One of the soldiers was already stimulated and confused.

  "Bastard, disobeying orders again! I'm in charge here, you quickly go up!" Liu Xun scolded the soldier.

  Jacqueline and her sister-in-law were frightened by the sudden situation, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until several soldiers walked out of the basement from the stairs. "Thank you, dear friend," Jacqueline said to Liu Xun. A head of beautiful golden hair shone brightly in Liu Xun's eyes under the candlelight.

  "My name is Liu Xun. Tonight's situation is special, please don't tell anyone you've seen us, I'll take you out, let's leave quickly!" Liu Xun made up his mind to help the two women.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  After Liu Xun hastily sent away Jacqueline, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the material base. Under the illumination of the ground lights, the huge floating base could already be vaguely seen landing on the ground.

  At this time, the floating base had already docked with the ground, and the lower cabin door opened to form a ramp on the ground. The soldiers of the second and third battalions rushed to various places under the leadership of their officers. Various firearms and ammunition were taken out of the warehouse and loaded onto cars, artillery was hung behind the cars, and then directly driven onto the floating base. Some armored vehicles, tractors, and a small number of tanks were also loaded with gasoline and started up. Personnel, vehicles, weapons, and materials were all busy silhouettes everywhere.

  Liu Xun once again inspected the situation of the cloth, striving to be flawless. The sentry was released very far away, and it was a combination of bright and dark sentries. The bright sentry wore the German army uniform. Liu Xun also buried all the landmines and explosives he brought with him on the highway and its sides. After finishing these things, Liu Xun personally opened his own package, which contained some flyers given to him by the regiment commander, feeling like the slogan of the French resistance organization, he scattered these things on the bodies of the German soldiers.

  The night gradually deepened...

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  It wasn't until 4 am that the German troops realized something was wrong. A supply convoy from Strasbourg had been ambushed near the town, and all were killed or captured. Before being hit, the commander of the armored car managed to send a message back about the ambush. The Germans then rallied their forces and charged forward with great momentum.

  Liu Xun first saw two leading three-wheeled motorcycles, on which the German army was frantically conducting firepower reconnaissance with machine guns.

  "Bang, bang" the sound of gunfire rang out. For such an obvious target, it was clear that the soldiers of the 1st Marine Regiment couldn't let it go. The soldiers were carefully selected from among millions, and the 1st Battalion was the crème de la crème among them.

  The German troops apparently did not realize that such a powerful attacker would appear in their own depth, so they were not equipped with decent armored forces. The main tank forces were in the north of France preparing to land in the UK. In the face of unclear enemy situation and lack of attacking force, the commanding officer of the German army wisely suspended the attack and asked for support from the rear.

  Half an hour later, several armored vehicles came forward. Although they didn't have the armor of tanks, at least they didn't need infantry to test the firepower. After the landmines were consumed, Liu Xun's squad really couldn't deal with the armored vehicles. They still didn't have rocket launchers and a few grenade launchers could hardly threaten the armored vehicles. Just as Liu Xun chose a dare-to-die team and prepared to use cluster hand grenades to solve the armored vehicles, several black shadows rushed down from the dark sky, "Dadada" bright flames burst out continuously, and several armored vehicles were hit and smoked, losing power.

  "Too good, it's our plane." The machine guns on the J-8 fighter jet can easily penetrate the top armor of the armored vehicle.

  "Bang, bang, bang", three red signal flares burst into the air above the material base, a notification for all troops blocking the enemy to retreat quickly.

  "Retreat, retreat, quick retreat, set fire to this place." The third row where Liu Xun was located quickly retreated under the cover of night, leaving behind a small town with flames and thick smoke.

  Along the way, Liu Xun merged with many other teams. When they rushed to the drop point, they found that it was empty and there were people pouring gasoline on the remaining supplies around them, while others were installing timed bombs. Liu Xun carried the bodies of two sacrificed soldiers and several seriously injured personnel onto the apron of the floating base, only to find that it was already piled up with materials, leaving only two runways for planes to take off and land.

  Several military doctors came forward to take over the wounded, and Liu Xun and the rest of them finally sat down panting heavily. Fully armed, they had run 3 kilometers in 10 minutes, and with the wounded, it was truly exhausting.

  The floating base soon closed the lower cabin door and began to ascend. All 24 J-1 fighter jets took over the position of the ground troops to cover the retreat of the floating base. When the floating base rose to an altitude of about 1000 meters, the timed bombs on the ground were detonated, igniting the gasoline-soaked substances, causing a chain reaction explosion. Even at an altitude of 1000 meters above the floating base, the shockwave from the ground explosion could be felt.

  Having arrived at a safe place, Liu Xun, who had been tired for a whole night, finally couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  When he woke up again, the floating base had returned to its daytime hiding in the clouds and nighttime high-speed movement. Several times, through the gaps in the clouds, Liu Xun also saw some continuous snow-capped mountains. On the floating base, logistics officers were counting the materials on each vehicle and registering them.

  He Juncai was also exhausted these days, not only did he need to control the movement of the floating base, but the psychological burden was also great. When making plans, there was no intuitive understanding, and when he saw the truckloads of fuel, shells, and explosives on the apron, his legs were about to go soft with fear. If something unexpected happened at this time, the floating base would directly disintegrate in mid-air, without even a chance to parachute.

  When the floating base successfully returned to an altitude of 20,000 meters and hid in the clouds above the Alps, Mao Bangchu couldn't wait to send a telegram towards Chongqing: "The Europa trip was successful, returning now." What a surprise attack! This is a surprise attack that has never been seen before in China's war history. After flying back and forth for 14,000 kilometers (one-third of the Earth's circumference), they paid a small price to gain huge material benefits, which will greatly help China's resistance. As the commander-in-chief of this surprise attack, who is also the first overseas battle in Chinese history, he will be remembered forever!

  Zhou Zhiyou in Chongqing received the telegram and immediately reported to the Chairman, ordering Base No. 1 in Bishan to prepare for material reception. Zhou Zhiyou could already imagine the scene of various army bigwigs using their eighteen martial arts to ask him for materials. The Chinese Air Force had invested a lot in the early stage, but the results were not satisfactory, and now they can finally hold their heads high.

  After three days of covert operations, the floating base finally landed successfully at Base One in Bishan on the evening of August 16. When the officers and logistics personnel finished unloading the supplies, the floating base rose again to a safe altitude, and He Juncai let out a sigh of relief, feeling that his whole body was sore. For these six days, he had been resting briefly during the day and controlling the movement of the floating base at night, with high mental tension. However, seeing the harvest, he felt it was worth it. It is worth noting that during the War of Resistance, China's own munitions production bases were occupied, and they had to be relocated to the southwest, resulting in a sharp decline in production efficiency, relying only on foreign aid. This batch of supplies will greatly alleviate this predicament. China can also breathe a sigh of relief now.

  To ensure the secrecy of the floating base, although this operation was successful, it was not publicly commended or awarded. The personnel involved were secretly awarded and required to keep strict confidentiality. After 1942, when the floating base was exposed after multiple sorties, the German Gestapo linked this incident to the floating base because many British and French weapons appeared on the battlefield against Japan in China, but it was never confirmed. It wasn't until 45 years after the war ended that related materials were made public, and this classic battle example was understood by the world, while many of those involved had already passed away.

  The Prime Minister's Office in Berlin, Heinrich Himmler, the head of the Gestapo, is reporting to Hitler about the Strasbourg material base being attacked. The Strasbourg material base burned for three days and nights, almost becoming a ruin, with most of the captured equipment destroyed in this incident. Judging from the remains at the scene, this attack was carried out by the French resistance organization. Hitler is worried that there are still such powerful and elusive resistance organizations in the occupied territories of France after the implementation of Operation Sea Lion, and they even have air forces. How can we ensure the implementation of Operation Sea Lion! The nervous Hitler first scolded Himmler severely, then talked about the old topic of Germany's certain victory, and finally asked Himmler and the German army stationed in France to strengthen the defense of the logistics base and eliminate the French resistance organization as soon as possible.

  The next day, Hitler personally telephoned Marshal Philippe Pétain, the head of Vichy France, and asked him to set up a special organization in Vichy France to maintain law and order in cooperation with Germany.

  Thus, the members of the French Resistance were unlucky and had to go underground after being captured by the Gestapo. The main controller of Vichy France, the French Veterans Association, established an organization that would later become infamous as the Milice fran?aise (also known as the Milice or the French Militia). The oath of the Milice was: "I swear to struggle against democracy, against de Gaulle, and against the Jews." Their main task was to fight against the French Resistance and drive out the Jews. History once again deviated from its original course.

  Chapter 25 has some minor changes, friends who have time can take a look.

  This week's recommendation, everyone is welcome to support, thank you!
