Chapter 224: Gliding Airborne

After the First World War, gliders were already operated in a very similar way to powered aircraft, i.e. elevators and ailerons were operated with a steering stick, and rudder steers were operated with foot pedals. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After separating from the transport plane, the first batch of 12 gliding planes of the special operations detachment of Kotaro Onizuka began to glide and fly. Affected by the air current, the glider constantly swings to the left and right. The pilot pressed the joystick to ensure the balance of the linkage ailerons, otherwise once the left and right ailerons were displaced, the glide would fall into a rollover, and it was likely to stall into the spiral and eventually crash.

The glider has a strong straight flight inertia, and the vertical tail energy efficiency is deflecting or turning left and right in flight, keeping the direction stable. It is a technical task to ensure that there is enough lift to continue flying forward, and to ensure that the aircraft does not turn and slip.

In order to equip the kamikaze commandos with the ability to control gliding planes, many new graves have been added near the airport in Guichi, where Japanese soldiers who encountered accidents during airborne exercises and were killed by plane crashes.

The intended landing area for the Onizuka Special Combat Team is a large expanse of rice paddies. According to the report of the reconnaissance aircraft, there are no huge rocks here, and the slope is very small, which is a high-quality landing field.

The level of the field will greatly reduce the danger of landing, but to drive the glider safely to the predetermined landing area, it is still a severe test for the pilot.

A large target on the ground looks like a small black dot in the air, and it is easy to flash it when moving at high speeds. This required the pilots of the Japanese gliders to be quick to see and be quick when determining the landing area.

After flying for a while, the Japanese glider approached the landing zone with the help of a strong updraft from the ridge, and the ground remained calm as the glider looked out from the cab.

At this time, the night falls on the earth, November has entered the late autumn, the day is getting shorter, for a large agricultural country like China, the people are accustomed to the sunrise and sunset, after dark in the field, can not see half a figure.

The pilot of the Japanese glider opened the spoiler upwards to disturb the air flow on the wings, so that the glider slowed down and descended, which was equivalent to the brakes on the plane.

The steering stick is pushed forward, the elevator is hemmed, the nose is down, and the movements that have been practiced countless times are done in one go, and the glider quickly lowers its altitude and falls towards the ground.

The Japanese soldiers in the cabin desperately clung to the fixed place on the wall of the gliding plane, and they knew that the feeling of landing was not pleasant, and they had to curl up in advance to prepare for the impact.

Descending to an altitude of 1,000 meters, the glider suddenly turned sharply to the left, which was a crosswind -- one of the unexpected factors that may be encountered in the parachuting.

The driver's face suddenly turned pale, and he pressed the right pedal hard, and the rudder swung to the right, trying to turn the nose of the plane to the right, which was a wrestle with nature, and the price of failure would be death.

The glider swayed and continued to descend, and after a while, the plane shook violently. The land-slide rocker, which was located under the glider, first plunged into the soil, and then the entire belly of the glider dragged through the field for a distance of more than 40 meters before finally stopping.

After a short period of physical pain, the Japanese soldiers who landed pushed open the cabin door of the gliding *Xiang*, and Onizuka Kotaro Osa, wearing a Chinese military uniform, quickly rushed to the field with his special combat team and began to clean up the perimeter of the landing site.

When the first wave of 12 gliders had landed, the first radio station had already been set up and sent radio waves to Guichi.

Immediately after that, the gliding * * aircraft of the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Kwantung Army began to arrive and land.

Wait until the troops under Katsura Taro have reached a squad and have the ability to be vigilant. Kotaro Onizuka immediately handed over the landing field with the highest officer on the ground of the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Kwantung Army. Then he hurried away with his special combat team.

The tasks of the special operations team and the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Kwantung Army are not the same, and the two weapons of mass destruction, one bright and one dark, will operate according to their respective orbits, but they are the same goal.

After the departure of the Onitsuka Special Combat Team, the good fortune of the Japanese army did not last forever. First, the No. 36 and No. 37 gliders fell into the spiral together and shattered. Then, No. 49 and No. 58 gliders crashed into the woods next to the field, causing serious damage to the aircraft and injuring all the crew members.

Less than 1/3 of the people who landed on the ground, not a single shot was fired, and not a single enemy was seen, so Katsura Taro Osa lost an entire squad, and the casualty rate was close to 5%.

Japan has really made a bloody investment this time!

Nakasa Oyamauchi was the first of the three captains of the 3rd Infantry Wing to land. The words of Katsura Taro Osa at the Guichi Airport had a very stimulating effect, and now Koyamauchi Nakasa is simply screaming and wanting to make meritorious contributions.

The sequence in which the transport planes separated from the gliders was one after the other, and the pilots of the gliders were good or bad, which made it impossible for the Japanese troops to land on the ground in batches according to their respective formations. At this moment, the various army squadrons on the landing ground are basically understaffed, with a few dozen people lacking at least and more than half still gliding in the air.

In order to set off as the first and rush to the front of the entire kamikaze commando, Koyamauchi Nakasa relied on his military rank to forcibly absorb part of the other two brigades, and went straight to the Hu family's shack with most of the heavy weapons that landed!

The net of the Japanese has been opened, and at this time, Huang Haoran is leading his cavalry to rush all the way towards the Hu family's shack!

Xu Xinghua completely adopted the advice of the military commander and completely isolated the entourage from Huang Haoran.

Returning to the Tianjiazhen fortress this time, Huang Haoran set off with Huang Haoran, in addition to the two Wuhan Military Commission officials left behind by Wang Zhaoming, as well as three officers and four adjutants of the Fourth Corps Headquarters, a total of nine people.

If it is usual, it is within Xu Xinghua's duty to allocate some people to protect these people. However, after getting the information from the military commander, Director Xu's mind changed!

He now felt that the number of nine people accompanying him was too much!

No matter how Xu Xinghua looks at it now, he doesn't think these guys are like good people! For the safety of Commander Huang Haoran, Xu Xinghua and Xu Zilong couldn't wait to use submachine guns to surprise these people who were in the way.

After feeling the pressure from Director Xu, Mei Jiucheng and Chen Hexiang were sweating......

A telegram had been sent to Huang Haoran to return to the fortress of Tianjia Town via Hu's shack, and according to the plan, the Japanese should have started an operation, and now they only needed to delay Huang Haoran's return journey more slowly.

But looking at the attitude of the officers around Huang Haoran towards them, Mei Jiucheng and Chen Hexiang really don't dare! (To be continued.) )
