As a result, Miller's troops were woken up after only two hours of sleep.

Felix's Sentinel Force hears movement on the other side of the bush where they are sheltering and wakes Miller. Then Miller took Maximban over to reconnoitre.

Miller led a squad cautiously through the bushes, and as they advanced, the voices coming from the other side of the bushes became clearer and clearer, the sound of people talking, the sound of cars starting, and so on.

Finally, Miller touched the edge of the bush.

He saw a lot of British vehicles parked in the fields outside the bushes, and he didn't know what the British were doing, but they actually lit a fire and looked like they were cooking.

"Aren't they afraid of bombers coming and bombing at night?" Maxim muttered quietly.

"Obviously, they are not afraid. Or they didn't know that there would be night bombers, and it was the French Air Force and the Italian Air Force that bombed the island before, neither of which would come out at night to carry out low-altitude ground attack missions. ”

"Then here's the question," Maxim said, looking up at the moonlit and starry sky, "where are our bombers?" ”

"Cruising in another area, perhaps," Miller said, gesturing to the occasional flash of light on the horizon, "it might be their masterpiece." But it doesn't matter, we can call the vultures in the sky over. ”

"Good idea." Maxim smiled and immediately turned back to greet the signal soldiers.

After a few seconds, the Messenger took the walkie-talkie and began to call: "Vulture Vulture, this is Bluebeard." ”

Bluebeard is the near-air support call for tonight in the operational briefing.

"This is a vulture, Bluebeard, please." After a few calls, the pilot's voice came over the walkie-talkie, "We have 8 100-kilogram bombs left, and your target better not need to use larger bombs." ”

Miller reached out and took the walkie-talkie: "It's a group of soft targets exposed to the ground, there are some light vehicles, mostly infantry, your bombs can effectively kill them, and your cannons can do the same." ”

"Great, can you get close to them and throw flares at the target?"

"They started a fire, and there was no other light source around it, which was very obvious."

"Very good, tell us where you are, and when we get around, I think I'll need you to fire a flare to guide us."

"No problem, we'll rush up and kill them after your attack." Saying that, Miller changed his tone, "Lucky Daddy calls Fat Daddy." ”

Both of these were the radio call signs agreed upon before Miller led the squad to set off for reconnaissance.

"Fat dad received, we heard your conversation and are rushing over, but maybe the plane will arrive first, over."

"Yes, we've arrived, we're approaching from your northwest beach, now fire flares."

Miller immediately put down his walkie-talkie, drew his flare gun, and fired a flare into the sky.

When the flare was lifted into the air, it naturally attracted the attention of the British, and Miller saw that the Britishmen had stopped what they were doing and looked up at the flares, but the British, as Miller expected, did not immediately start extinguishing the bonfire and picking up arms to prepare for battle, they just stood there, looking at the flare suspiciously, and many of them were still holding boxes of food in their hands.

"What's wrong with them?" Maxim asked, confused.

"I don't know." As soon as Miller finished speaking, he saw a British officer on horseback running from the other side of the makeshift camp, shouting at the soldiers.

Miller, as an officer of the commando, mastered a foreign language according to the regulations, but it was Russian, and he knew only a little bit of English: "It was as if he was asking who hit the flare......

Maxim was about to reply, and the signal man said: "The pilots said they were coming." ”

Miller heard the roar of the engines in the air, and the British finally reacted, and the officers on horseback shouted loudly, pointing to the fire, as if giving the order to extinguish the fire, and the soldiers began to beat the fire with all sorts of things, and even kicked the burning wood together with their feet, and some poured soup from their lunch boxes into the fire.

"They didn't even prepare water to put out the fire immediately...... "Maxim's mouth was wide open, "what are they written in their combat regulations!" Don't you even have this? ”

The role of combat regulations is to instruct soldiers and junior officers what they should do and what they should pay attention to on the battlefield. If you sneer at it as a representative of dogmatism, you will definitely suffer. In fact, most people are at a loss on the battlefield, especially those who have no actual combat experience, and the combat regulations are the only ones that can guide them. Of course, it is not possible to completely follow the combat regulations, because the regulations only have rules that apply to all regions, and it is inevitable to make some adaptations in practice, and this kind of adaptation is a direct reflection of the combat experience of experienced officers and soldiers, while inexperienced recruits and rookie officers often make the situation worse by making indiscriminate adaptations.

While the British were scrambling to extinguish the fire, the Dao-2 near-air support bombers had already appeared above them. The roar of the two engines shook everyone's eardrums, and it rushed straight at the fire on the ground, firing at the ground with its belly turret.

Tracer shells flew to the ground, and the shells of the 37mm automatic cannon exploded on the ground one after another, knocking the British into a stumbling head. A car was hit and turned into a bright torch that illuminated the entire ground.

Do-2 passed over the British's head, and the bomb exploded on the ground, sending eight fireballs exploding along the British's long camp, illuminating the camp as if it were daylight.

Do-2 began to turn, and the twin hanging tails painted with the eagle symbol were clearly visible in the firelight on the ground.

The British began to shoot into the sky, but were immediately met with return fire from machine gunners on the sides of the Do-2 fuselage, and then the shells of the 37 guns also fell.

After the Do-2 circled in the sky for half a circle, the communications officer next to Miller said: "The pilots said that they had run out of 37 artillery shells, and there were not many machine gun shells left, and they needed to leave some time to deal with possible British aircraft, and they were going to return home." ”

"Say thank you to them." Miller paused, "The others are loaded!" Now that the British are being blinded, rush up with me to surprise them. ”

"Is it just our class?" Maxim asked rhetorically, "Look at the number of fires, that's less than a battalion." ”

"A battalion of soldiers, that's very difficult to deal with, even if friendly troops come, we can only walk around. A battalion of frightened birds is just a frightened bird, and as long as we charge out of momentum, they will think that we have tens of thousands of men. Miller pulled the bolt, then turned on the safe, "So shout loudly, use all your strength to kill and let's go!" ”

As he spoke, Miller jumped out of the bushes.

"He also said that the prefixer was crazy...... "Maxim muttered, "I think he is the same." ”

After saying that, Maxim also rushed out of the bushes.
