Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 298: Flight team (middle)
"They are there!" The observer standing on the perimeter fence of the control tower shouted loudly, and stretched out his finger in the direction where he found the target.
"Well, they are very punctual." Major Thierry raised his wrist to check the time, and nodded to his subordinates. This is the normal performance of the professional army. How is it like the colonial air force's group of uncles, the previous flight transition plan, when they did not miss it.
Holo Air Force Base (also translated as Huale or Holo) is the only airfield built for military purposes in the Tokyo area of Vietnam. It was originally assigned the responsibility to protect the airspace from Tokyo to Haiphong. . But in fact, because the former governor was a peace-loving liberal, the French Indochina Air Force was constantly weakened. In the end, the air force stationed at this airport was only left with three Dewatina 510s and two old Niu Potter is often unable to take off because of lack of parts. Such air power, let alone protect Tokyo Coast Defence, may not even be able to protect himself.
Before Jean Degu arrived, the French Indochinese authorities could only rely on a pile of broken iron and old and weak soldiers to protect their airspace. No wonder the former governor Calut frustrated and made a compromise with the Japanese army. decision. However, the current situation is very different. With Germany's backing behind France, it is much tougher. Especially after the **** battle with Deng, the Japanese activities on the border during this period of time have obviously reduced a lot. The original garrisons in northern French Indochina finally let out a sigh of relief, and the continuous reinforcements from the south have even more. It was to let them regain their confidence. Looking at the arrogant faces of the French defenders on duty at the border, they knew that the French had regained their pride in front of the Japanese.
When French engineers built this air base, they planned it in accordance with the standards of a large European military airport. 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 built on the side of the runway, and an apron large enough to park the next flight group at the same time. The French were not satisfied with this. In the end, another alternate 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 planes were pitifully parked, exposing the essence of the French Indochina garrison as a foreign force.
"Black Hawk. This is Violet. We have seen you. Please land on Runway One. It's over." The controller pressed the radio button to guide the German squadron to land.
This kind of light rain is not a problem for experienced pilots. After confirming the location of the runway. The German fighter squadrons began to line up in columns, circled the runway and entered the four-sided landing route, and then landed one after another on the wet runway. Because of the special climatic conditions in Vietnam, the rainy season is very long. This was taken into account when the airport was constructed. The runway was compacted and rammed very solid. Not only ordinary rainwater is difficult to penetrate, but even weeds cannot grow on weekdays. The roots can ensure that the airport can be used normally during the long rainy season.
The fully armed FW190. Roaring and passing low in front of the control tower, this was the first time that the French had seen this advanced fighter jet, and everyone present was amazed by this masterpiece of the German aviation industry. As the commander of the squadron, Major Speru was the first in the formation to land in accordance with the German practice when landing at an unfamiliar airport. One was to check the runway and also to make a demonstration for his subordinates.
The Air Force major drove her mighty-looking war machine proficiently, and landed on the runway gently like a feather. The landing gear landed at three points at the same time, demonstrating the pilot's solid skills. When the fighter plane marked with the captain oblique angle on the fuselage slowly slipped into the apron. Major Thierry, who had rushed there long ago, hurriedly greeted him with his adjutant and a few French ground crews.
Pulling the door lock and pushing back the hatch cover forcefully, Major Speru got up from the cockpit, turned out of the cabin agilely, stretched his leg and gently stepped on the foot of the fuselage. Flying jumped onto the tarmac.
"Welcome, welcome, I am the commander of the base, Major Thierry." Thierry walked forward with a smile, spreading his hands to give the German pilot a warm hug, but then he I was really taken aback by what I saw before my eyes.
I saw that German pilot took off his black flight cap, revealing a beautiful and delicate face. Although he has short blond hair like a boy, this face cannot be a man in any way. The French major's open arms froze in the air, with an embarrassing expression on his face. The gender of the other party is currently unknown. If he is carried, will he be shot on the spot?
"Major Speru, the commander of the Luftwaffe's Asian Task Force." Sperr's performance has long been common to majors, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to the opponent.
Listening to the voice is more certain. The German flight captain is indeed a woman. Thierry quickly folded his arms and took the other's outstretched hand. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a thing, and Thierry didn'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. When flying became a fashion, there were also a few deviant female pilots in France, but they were all performing in the private sector, and I have never heard of entering the army. But the woman in front of him was not only a woman, but also an officer. What made Thierry more surprised was that the opponent was the same rank as himself. Thinking of this, the old colonel couldn't help but feel a little sad. He spent most of his life, but he was not as fast as a young girl.
"Major Thierry, please wait a moment, I still have some luggage on the plane." Spauru said to Thierry.
"No problem, Major, we have time." Thierry said, winking at the adjutant who was holding the umbrella next to him.
"Oh?" The other party tilted his head and winked at him.
"Umbrella!" Thierry reminded in a low voice through gritted teeth.
"Oh!" Lieutenant Simon nodded vigorously, and then handed the umbrella he held to the German major.
"Oh, thank you very much." Sporu was not hypocritical, and she nodded to Simon to thank him, then held the umbrella and walked to her landline.
"My God." Thierry raised his face and sighed at the raindrops all over the sky. What did he do to find such an idiot as an adjutant. Major Thierry, who was in the rain, felt distressed. He walked to the car parked aside, pulled out another umbrella from the car and held it up.
As German fighters landed one after another, the tarmac quickly became busy. Crowds of ground crews hauled a German fighter jet and arranged them neatly around the tarmac. All kinds of French orders echoed, and the French ground crew members were all wearing raincoats.
"After a while, we will tow the aircraft to the hangar. We have five large hangars, enough for all of your aircraft." Thierry Shao corrected his mentality as best he could, and he decided to put it The opponent should be treated as an officer of the same rank. As for the others, they have to wait until the contact has come down. Anyway, these Germans have to stay at this base for a long time, and some have time to find an appropriate and decent response.
"For the time being, we can only do this. Because the ground crew of the task force has to carry a large number of equipment and materials, they can only walk by road, and they will be able to arrive in two days tomorrow. Repair and maintenance work Wait until they arrive before proceeding." Shi Boru replied.
"Before they arrive, we can do some work like refueling and charging," Major Thierry said.
"That's great. If something happens, we can dispatch immediately. You are very thoughtful, Major Thierry." Spauru appreciated the French Major's proposal.
The German pilots were gathering in line on the taxiway at this time. After the assembly was completed, the administrative adjutant of the brigade ran to Sporu in small steps and saluted her.
"The assembly of the first squadron is complete. This time the landing went smoothly, sir."
"Very well, everyone brings your personal belongings. French friends will take you to your residence and give you two hours of tidying up and rest. After two hours, you will gather in the conference room of the base for today's flight summary." Sporu's face was serious, and he ordered loudly.
"This is Lieutenant Simon, he will take you to the rest room." Thierry pushed Simon to the German adjutant.
"Yes~IndoMTL.com~ sir." The administrative adjutant glanced at the French ensign, and then saluted Speru. After receiving the gift, he immediately turned around and ran back to the queue.
"The Luftwaffe is indeed well-trained. Then Major Speru, are you going to sit in my office or go to your residence to rest? We have specially arranged an officer suite for you and your adjutants." Eli asked eagerly.
"Let's finish the official business first. I have brought a letter from Major General Duval of the French Indochina Air Force, and I need you to sign for it." Speru replied.
"Then please go this way. The office is far away and you need to go by car, Major Speru." Thierry turned sideways and made an inviting gesture, then walked to the side of the car under the umbrella.
Speru straightened the military cap on his head, held the umbrella in one hand and picked up the luggage in the other. He turned his face to look at the group of fighters under the rain, and then followed Major Thierry with strides. (To be continued.)
