"There is also an aviation regiment to support us, and this is the second good news I heard today." When Student learned of the existence of the 1st Independent Air Regiment, he excitedly patted Chen Dao on the shoulder and said.

"General Student, your Seventh Air Division won't be the only ones I see, will you? These people have a maximum of one battalion. Chen Dao asked, pointing to the paratroopers outside the woods.

"Of course not, it's still some time before dark, I'm going to contact the other troops and get them to come over as soon as possible, so that we can be a little more sure in the next battle." Student explained.

At about 7 o'clock in the evening, the formation of "Aunt Juncker" appeared in the sky outside the woods for the third time, and the paratroopers of the 7th Air Division finally arrived.

"General Studenter, is this all your troops?" Chen Dao wondered.

"The Seventh Aviation Division currently has only this one regiment that can participate in the operation, which is enough." Student said.

"Okay, then let's ・・・・・・ next" Chen Dao was about to speak, when the correspondent suddenly said that Goering was going to talk to him, and Chen Dao and the correspondent came to the radio station.

In the communications room of the Chancellery, Göring heard Chen Dao's voice in the headphones and said, "Heinz, I order you to leave there by plane immediately." ”

"Huh? What did you say? Say it again. Chen Dao's voice came.

"I order you to fly back immediately." Goering shouted into the microphone.

"I can't hear what you're saying, the signal is not good, I'll contact you later, I'll hang up first."

Listening to the rustling sound coming from the headphones, Goering was in a daze, and Hitler patted him on the shoulder and said: "The little guy has grown up and has his own opinions, you have to learn to adapt." ”

Turning off the radio, Chen Dao found Studenter, and after a brief discussion between the two, it was decided that the troops would be divided into two routes, the first of which would be dominated by a battalion of the 7th Air Division and the remnants of the 7th Air Defense Battalion, whose task was to take care of the wounded soldiers and serve as a reserve.

The second route consisted of two battalions of the 7th Air Division, plus the remnants of Lieutenant Randolph, whose task was to pursue the retreating Polish troops to the northeast, and Chen Dao and Student were to follow this route.

After assigning the task, Chen Dao and Student led the team to set off.

As he walked past a 150mm howitzer crooked on the side of the road, Chen Dao pointed to the flowering barrel and said, "It's a pity that these cannons were destroyed by the Poles." ”

Lieutenant Randolph said angrily: "I saw them stuffing grenades in the barrels, these hateful Poles. ”

Chen Dao smiled and patted Randolph on the shoulder: "I have already helped you find a new batch of cannons, but they will not arrive until dawn, and then you can vent your anger on the Poles." ”

The two men chatted in a low voice as they walked to relieve the sleepiness of the night and fatigue, and it was not until about one o'clock in the morning that a herald ran to Chen Dao's side, and Chen Dao left Lieutenant Randolph and rushed to Student with the herald.

"The outpost has found a village where the Poles are stationed, and outside the village there are prisoners we are looking for, estimated at about two hundred." Student said.

"I said they couldn't go fast with the prisoners, General Studenter, you are better at this kind of fighting, how do you think we should free these prisoners?" Chen Dao asked modestly.

"I need to look at the terrain and the Poles before I can make a decision." Student said.

"I'll go with you."

The two of them touched a place more than 200 meters away from the village under the cover of night, and with the help of the starlight in the sky, Chen Dao clearly saw in the telescope that there were several figures with guns at the entrance of the village who were constantly walking, and a group of people were lying in the open space near the figures.

Chen Daoxin said that these people should be prisoners of war, and after observing for a while, Chen Dao and Student retreated behind a dirt slope, and after a brief discussion, the two decided to attack this unknown village at night.

Naturally, the task of command fell to Student, and one order after another was quickly given, and the paratroopers of the two battalions drove into their positions under the cover of night.

Chen Dao and Lieutenant Randolph went around behind a dirt slope with a dozen artillery men, and their task was to guide the captives to escape.

The heralds bent over the night to inform Student of the arrival of the various ministries.

After making sure that the divisions were in place, Student raised his right hand, and the gunners of the two 81-mm mortar crews beside him lowered the shells to the muzzle.

With a wave of his hand, there was a muffled "bang" twice, and two flares flew into the sky with a dazzling white light, illuminating the sky and the earth like two small suns.

After seven or eight crisp gunshots, the four Polish soldiers who were guarding the prisoners fell to the ground as if they had been hit by an invisible hammer.・・・・・

Followed by the MG34 machine gun, under the action of flares, several machine gun positions arranged by the Polish army near the village were unobstructed, these MG34 machine guns fired tracer bullets like a fire snake pounced on them, so that none of these machine gun positions played a role, several brave paratroopers rushed up and threw grenades under the cover of machine guns, "・・・・・・boom" several explosions sounded, and several machine gun positions of the Polish army were completely destroyed.

Chen Dao had no intention of watching the paratroopers' performance, and the moment the guns rang out, Chen Dao waved his hand at Lieutenant Randolph, "Up." ”

Lieutenant Randolph and a dozen of his men rushed over the dirt slope to the captives, shouting as they ran, "Get down, get down, climb this way." ”

Startled by the gunshots, the panicked captives heard the shouts of Randolph and others, and immediately found their way, and successively lay down on the ground and crawled in the direction of Randolph.

Seeing that they had successfully completed the task of guidance, Randolph and the others also fell to the ground and hidden.

Chen Dao hid behind and continued to observe the battle situation with binoculars, and saw that the paratroopers had already attacked the village, and the Polish troops in the village were already too busy to take care of themselves, and they had no energy to pay attention to the prisoners of war, so he shouted to Randolph in front: "Randolph, let them stand up and run." ”

After shouting a few words, Randolph heard Chen Dao's words clearly, and commanded his subordinates to shout together: "Stand up and run." ”

Hearing the shouts, the prostrate prisoners of war jumped up from the ground one after another, and ran in the direction of Randolph and others, accompanied by the sound of gunfire and explosions in the sky, these prisoners of war rushed through a distance of nearly 200 meters at a speed of 100 meters, and did not stop until they crossed the dirt slope where Chen Dao was hiding, or sat or stood there panting.

After dodging a few of the prisoners who almost stepped on him while running, Chen Dao looked outside the dirt slope to make sure that all the prisoners of war were safely out of the battlefield, and motioned to Randolph for them to withdraw back.

The gunfire in the village lasted less than half an hour before it died down, and Chen Dao asked Randolph to lead the prisoners of war and run to Student himself.

"What about our casualties?" Chen Dao asked.

"Counting," said Studenter, "how's your side?" ”

"All of them were rescued, and there were no casualties visually."

About twenty minutes later, Chen Dao and Student had occupied one of the best houses in the village.

"Seven people were lightly wounded, two were seriously wounded, and the result was the total annihilation of one company, and the rescue of 213 prisoners, this battle was a completely glorious victory." Chen Dao said.

"It's just a small battle, look at this telegram, it's from Army Group South's headquarters, here," said Student, pointing to a spot on the map, "with nearly 200,000 Polish troops entrenched here, I think this should be our target." ”

After reading the telegram, Chen Dao looked at the map and said: "Kutno City, Poland's Army Group Poznan, they must be the ones who attacked us, I finally know who the enemy is, and I also know where we should go." ”

・・・・・・

Rescuing the wounded, arming the rescued captives with captured weapons, interrogating the captured Polish soldiers, arranging defensive positions, a few hours flew by, and the day finally dawned.

After some contact, the roar of aircraft engines rang out over the village, and two FI-156 reconnaissance planes flew over the village and flew north.

It didn't take long for Chen Dao to receive a telegram from the First Air Regiment.

After reading the telegram in his hand, Chen Dao said: "There is a large number of Polish troops moving south, and about a regiment of Polish infantry will pass by us, and there will be the same number of cavalry behind them. ”
