Chapter 10 Air Raid

The main force of the 40th Infantry Regiment of Poland drove into Valang Village safely. Sure enough, more than a dozen neatly discharged wounded people were found on the west side of the village road, and the wounded were immediately treated.

Under Colonel Kuba's order, the infantry carefully searched every house and basement of Valang Village, without ambushing or boasting.

After confirming the safety of Valang Village, Colonel Kuba decided to lead his subordinates to spend the night in Valang Village. Colonel Kuba contacted the division headquarters again. The division headquarters gave him the task to ensure the safety of the right wing of the entire division. As a last resort, Colonel Kuba had to make this decision.

After receiving the order, the 40th Infantry Regiment selected some houses that were less damaged in the battle as temporary field hospitals to treat the wounded.

After Colonel Kuba assigned the defense tasks of his battalions, he moved into the church in the village with a few staff officers and communication personnel. As soon as they moved into the church, two scouts from the reconnaissance company came to him and informed Colonel Kuba that the Germans had set up simple defensive positions on both sides of the road about two kilometers south of Valen Village, with about one battalion.

Colonel Kuba issued an order to continue surveillance to the reconnaissance company, and then brought several staff officers to the east of the village. Under his order, engineers from the 40th Infantry Regiment dug a simple cemetery to accommodate the dead soldiers in the east of the village. After all, it was a very morale-destroying action to make these corpses storm wilderness. A row of gunfire sounded, and a simple funeral came to an end.

In the south of Valen Village, behind the German defensive positions, Student and Chen Dao were watching Lieutenant Randolph and his men test the shooting. After a series of shelling sounds of "boom...", Lieutenant Randolph said happily: "After the commissioning is completed, we can finally participate in the battle."

"That's great, I can finally throw away this old weapon." Chen Dao said as he threw the Mauser 98K rifle in his hand to a paratrooper beside him.

Student stood aside with seven or eight paratroopers. He saw that Chen Dao was always hiding with artillery soldiers like Randolph, and there were more than 200 rescued prisoners around. These people were mainly from the 30th Infantry Division, and there were more than a dozen anti-aircraft gunners from the Seventh Air Defense Battalion. In front of these people, he really couldn't find a chance to tie people up.

Student said quietly: "Major Rosen, I want to discuss the next battle plan with you. Please come here with me."

"I'm sorry, general, I'm going to learn ** technology from Lieutenant Randolph. The Poles have entered Valron Village. We will act according to the original plan." After Chen Dao said that, he fiddled with a 37mm anti-tank gun, and humbly asked Randolph for advice while fiddling with him.

Seeing this, Student had no choice but to take his subordinates away and arrange the next combat operation.

Because he inherited the rich experience of operating anti-aircraft guns by his former owner, Chen Dao learned how to use 37mm anti-tank guns twice the result with half the effort. After familiarizing himself with the 37mm anti-tank gun, Chen Dao learned to operate the 75mm infantry gun. After familiarizing himself with the use of 75mm infantry guns, and weighed the performance of the two guns, Chen Dao decided to choose the 37mm anti-tank gun as the weapon for the next battle, because the 37mm anti-tank gun is relatively accurate, and the noise during launch is relatively small, making it difficult to expose the target.

Chen Dao and the other three gunners worked together to pull the 37mm anti-tank gun and ran to the front of the position, hiding behind an unknown bush behind the German position, waiting for the battle to begin.

At 6:30 am on September 11, Chen Dao, who was sleeping on the ground wrapped in a blanket, was awakened by someone. He was Lieutenant Randolph.

After some exchange, Chen Dao learned that all six 37mm cannons and the intact 75mm infantry cannons were strengthened to the Second Paratrooper Battalion, and they will serve as the main attacker from the southeast of Valang Village.

Dragging the 37mm cannon, Chen Dao, Randolph and other artillery soldiers joined the Second Paratrooper Battalion.

At 7 o'clock, the sky in Poland was just dazzled. Under the call of radio, a FI-156 reconnaissance plane appeared over Valang Village. After hovering for a while, the reconnaissance plane was fired by the Po army machine guns in Valang Village. After panic, it raised the range of the machine guns that left the Po army's army. The reconnaissance plane hovered continuously in the sky around Valang Village, like a blood-seen fly.

A few dozen minutes later, the sky became brighter and the deafening roar of the engine came from the sky south of Valang Village. Chen Dao looked at his watch at 7:50.

Seeing the fleet of aircraft getting closer and closer in the sky, the Second Paratrooper Battalion spread out two red 1000-character flags as air defense signs to avoid being accidentally injured.

Chen Dao squatted beside the 37mm gun, counting the number of aircraft groups like everyone else, and soon counting the number of aircraft, which was thirty.

When the German paratroopers raised their heads to count the planes, the Polish army led by Colonel Kuba in Valen Village was also doing the same.

Colonel Kuba was awakened by the sound of machine gun shooting. When Colonel Kuba saw the small plane hovering in the air near the village, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

God blessed, these "death crows" just passed by Valang Village. They went to the north to find trouble for friendly troops. Colonel Kuba drew a cross on his chest and prayed.

The group seemed to hear Colonel Kuba's prayer and was angry with Colonel Kuba's idea of ​​betraying his teammates to the north. They had just flew past Valang Village and drew a terrifying arc in the sky, and then dispersed, dived, and dropped bombs.

"Hidden." Colonel Kuba saw the crew turn around and realized that something was wrong. He shouted and rushed into the church, diving into the basement of the church to hide.

As soon as Colonel Kuba rushed into the basement, he heard a terrifying scream outside, and then the bomb explosion and the vibration of the earth followed one after another.

When Stuka dived, the screaming sound of Jericho's horn on the fuselage fell from the sky like an invisible air wall. Under the screaming sound, the frightened Polish infantrymen covered their ears and opened their mouths and squatted in the bunker and could not move. They could only pray that the bomb should not fall into their bunker.

Twenty Stuka dive bombers, facing the firepower of the Wave Army machine guns on the ground, diving one after another, smashing the 50-kilogram and 250-kilogram bombs they carried to the ground.

In less than half an hour, under the bombing of 80 50 kilogram bombs and 20 250 kilogram bombs, the small Valang Village had no complete house.

The ME-109 fighter jets escorted Stuka were not to be outdone. They targeted the Polish position outside the village, and any humanoid target moving in the open space outside the village would be ruthlessly fired by them.

After dropping the bomb, Stuka also joined in the fun. They dived like fighters. Two MG17 machine guns under the wings spit out fire snakes. The bullets hit the ground and Bo Jun, causing countless dust and flesh...

Colonel Kuba hid in the basement, staring at his boots with his eyes blankly, and the staff members were silent, as if the air in the basement had solidified.

Finally, the roof of the basement no longer fell, and Colonel Cooba slowly raised his head.

After confirming that the German fleet had evacuated, Colonel Kuba walked out of the church with only ruins under the crowd of staff. Looking at the devastated and devastated village of Valen, Colonel Kuba's mouth trembled for a long time without saying anything.

With his eyes swept across the streets and ruins, Colonel Kuba tried to calm down his mood. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly looked up at the sky south where the "Crow of Death" disappeared.

After looking around for a while, Colonel Kuba's thousands of words turned into four words: "Air raid, concealment." After saying that, Colonel Kuba took the lead in running back to the basement.

To the south of Valang Village, Chen Dao squatted beside the 37mm gun, watching the second round of air strikes on Valang Village by the First Aviation Regiment, a messenger ran to him.

"Major, after this round of air strikes, we will launch an attack on Valron Village. Please be prepared. In addition, General Student told you to pay attention to your safety."

After Chen thanked him, the messenger left. After waiting for about half an hour, the second round of air strikes ended. With a command, Chen Dao and others dragged their 37mm cannons and rushed towards Valang Village with the Second Paratrooper Battalion.
