Was Paul absolutely confident? This is also very unrealistic. When the sun had just risen over the horizon on a new day, Paul was already sitting in the cockpit of the stork reconnaissance plane.

The only weapons available to him were an MG15 aviation machine gun and 500 rounds of ammunition, which would be of little use.

Paul also prepared for the worst, which was his escape problem after the plane was shot down. If he is captured by the Soviet troops, this is the greatest shame, and he might as well die. But if you really fall into that kind of dangerous situation, you still have to run for your life.

Therefore, he not only has a luger pinned to his waist, but also an MP40 fixed behind his seat.

The new plane is equipped with a more advanced radio system than the old one, and as he hovers over the swamp, he can already speak to the airfield dozens of kilometers away. Undoubtedly, as long as he finds a target, he can report it immediately, and this means of reporting the enemy's situation in real time is his great advantage.

With everything set up, Paul took a deep breath and pushed the clutch forward, and the propeller was quickly turned.

Under the dazzling morning sun, the reconnaissance plane took off gracefully like a white stork, and after Paul spun around in the air in respect, corrected his direction and flew south.

It was a personal move, and Paul had to juggle his duties as a driver and navigator, as well as marking his location on the map of the area at all times. This alone is difficult for novice scouts to do well, and after flying into the sky, the vast green sea of Belarus can also dazzle the eyes of a large number of novices.

Paul easily found an unusually twisty, sparkling silver belt on the earth, and this was the Dnieper! There was no doubt that the target area could be reached smoothly along the river, but the plane had to lower its altitude in order to see more clearly, but in this way it was getting closer and closer to the danger.

Compared to other models, this stork reconnaissance aircraft is cruising at a low speed of 200 kilometers, and its excellent engine makes it less noisy. It is painted in brown and black camouflage, and the wings and tail also have German Iron Cross logos.

This coating makes it well hidden in the autumn earth, and after it flies into the blue sky, it is really conspicuous at first glance by the ground personnel.

Paul's vigilance grew, and he sent a report from afar, announcing that he was beginning to enter the heart of the swamp.

As long as he advanced along the river, he would inevitably find traces of Soviet activity. When he saw a large number of buildings on the side of the river, he determined that this was the village of Mixi, which was marked on the map as no man's land, but this information had not been updated for months.

Even though the noise of this reconnaissance plane was very small, a small number of Soviet troops currently stationed in the village of Misi still monitored the anomaly in the air. Soon, the Soviets noticed a black shadow that looked like an eagle slowly falling.

A platoon commander raised his binoculars, and he was amazed to see the black cross marker on the tail of the plane.

"It's an enemy plane! Everyone is ready for battle! Heavy, shoot me! ”

There is always a huge risk of air raids at the Missy Ferry, and even if the main forces have withdrawn from the area, there are only two companies of militia and more than 200 fishermen who maintain the ferry line and take care of fishing. In terms of weaponry, it is also due to extremely low limits.

The Soviets immediately opened fire on the air, and their rifles were aimed at the falling shadow.

However, the real ability to shoot down planes quickly is the 14.5 mm eight-company anti-aircraft machine gun, or the 37 mm anti-aircraft gun. With only 7.62 mm of ordinary rifle ammunition, the results achieved were terrible. Moreover, these militiamen had never been trained in anti-aircraft operations, and their shooting led to only one result - to declare their existence.

Paul was taken aback, and immediately yelled into the microphone, "Call the nest!" Call the Lair! The White Stork arrives in the village of Missy, which is also occupied by the enemy! The village of Missi has been taken by the enemy! ”

This was the first piece of good news Koch had received since his comeback, and he and several pilots with combat experience gathered in the telegraph room to learn the news, not to mention how happy they were!

Koch gave an order for Paul to continue the investigation, and he even promised: "You have been awarded an Iron Cross of the Second Class for your bravery in reconnaissance operations, and if you can continue to make amazing discoveries this time, I will apply for the Knight's Iron Cross for you!" ”

The Knight's Iron Cross is already a very high honor for a soldier! Hearing this was like a cup of strong coffee, Paul was in high spirits and pulled the plane up.

The reconnaissance plane continued to fly south, he was well aware that he was exposed, and the next flight was fraught with danger. Therefore, if you really get that medal, you deserve it.

The Soviet garrison at the Missy ferry soon reported the information on the discovery of the enemy's reconnaissance plane to the command office!

……

For the Soviet troops, the rising sun had just dispelled the morning fog, and the soldiers had finished their breakfast and started their daily training.

It's May 28th, and after two days of intensive training, Natasha has maintained her majesty in the junior camp. Those boys from the guerrilla brigade also had to admire this sister, who was only a year older than them. As for the girl, no matter how weak she is, she forces herself to be strong, it is this instructor Natasha, she will not be merciful because of a woman at all.

The veterans of the youth battalion knew that Natasha was also a weak girl back then, and it was the war that forced her to become tough and resolute, and they knew that she was ruthless.

At the end of the day, Natasha also wanted to talk to the recruits about her past. She is no longer afraid to talk about the bad things that happened to her, and saying it happily is a decision with her once weak self.

As for her record of destroying more than 200 enemies, in addition to shocking the recruits, that is, shocking, the veterans have long been accustomed to it, and the recruits admire the five-body throw. Natasha still has a lot of vanity, how fast and comfortable is this scene of being admired by everyone? Doesn't the commander also like this feeling of "praise of the people"?

So on May 28, the girl made a special request to snatch her special anti-tank from the arsenal, so much so that she also made a special request for Igor to make a cameo appearance as a special instructor of the junior battalion.

In this way, under the leadership of Natasha, Igor, who was as strong as a bear, came to the training ground with a huge anti-tank robbery equipped with an eight-fold magnified PU scope, a double brake, a soft leather padding on the butt, and 20 rounds of ammunition.

This had been agreed the day before, and Natasha had decided to demonstrate her combat posture in public, with the intention of teaching her comrades how to fight as a sniper.

Many young soldiers have little experience in anti-tank robbery, and they lack understanding of their shooting scenes. Even the soldiers who have seen this weapon have to ask themselves - is this really an anti-tank robbery?!

Kharkov was really worried about her: "Honey, you really decided to operate this weapon. I'm too worried about your shoulder, since it's just training, why should you?! ”

"Since I've already made a decision, I don't have to change it, besides, I will mainly use this weapon on the battlefield in the future!"

The girl's answer left Kharkov speechless, he knew that the anti-tank gun came from the modification of the commander himself. It was a genius inventor of a weapon, and it was clearly tailor-made for her by the Commander.

However, Kharkiv always remembers that when she first used this weapon last year, it was like she complained to herself, that is, the recoil was so strong that she would break her shoulder, and every time she used it in the next few battles, she complained of sore arms after the battle. Perhaps, after several modifications, this weapon is already very good? But the use of anti-tank as a sniper rifle has always subverted Kharkov's imagination.

Therefore, everyone gathered behind Natasha, who was already lying in a target position, as spectators, to witness the scene of firing.

The wooden target was a hundred meters away, and the pretty girl was lying on the grass with her legs spread apart, her cheeks gently pressed against the padded butt. And Igor, the strong one, held up the binoculars and said something in his mouth.

In an instant, the girl's whole body shook violently, and in a burst of violent gunfire, the target turned into pieces......
