Chapter 288 Satan's Fire

Although the Russian army on the east bank of the Yenisei River strengthened its camouflage and often carried out military transfers in the dark, even so, it could not escape the air surveillance of the Northeast airship. What Dragorov did not expect was that on the third day after he ordered the East Coast Division to transfer, the sky suddenly became gloomy and a heavy rain came unexpectedly. The water volume of the Yenisei River began to soar in just a few hours. The flood gathered from the Sayan Mountains in the south instantly swept across the entire upper reaches of the Yenisei River. All the pontoon bridges built by the Russian army were washed away, and many troops crossing the river were swept away by the torrent along with the wreckage of the pontoon bridge, causing heavy losses.

However, the heavy rains were not all bad news. The bad weather finally prevented the airships in the Northeast from taking off. Dragormilov suddenly felt that the pressure on him was a little less. All military deployments were under the surveillance of the enemy, and no one could win such a war. Moreover, the airships in the Northeast were flying and attacking unscrupulously in Russia, which once again brought a heavy blow to the morale downturn caused by Skobelev's derogation.

Another good news is that heavy rain caused mud on the road, which forced the land attack in the northeast to stop. This gave the Russian army a rare opportunity to breathe, and also allowed them to take a breath from the passiveness since the war started.

The heavy rain did not last too long, only two days. At this time, the rain finally passed, and there was a rainbow hanging in the sky, but Huazi and others were not in a good mood to enjoy the rare scenery. The water in the trenches had been cleaned up, but it was still slippery. The battle boots were very uncomfortable to wear. Haji sat on an empty ammunition box, took off his shoes, barefoot, and dried the battle boots, socks and feet together in the sun.

Haji knew that this was a good habit, and the sun always made people feel comfortable, especially in this far north. In addition, the insurance team's "Battlefield Health Regulations" also had relevant records. Wet combat boots would cause a lot of diseases. Haji didn't know what those were, nor did he know the mechanism. But he knew that if he really had those diseases, he would not have a good ending.

Hudson saw him at this time, and was beside him, laughing and said, "You are so sunny that you can't see you even more at night."

Haji smiled the same way and said, "Anyway, I am a sniper. The safer I will be if the enemy cannot see me. You should also show it. You are so white, it is too conspicuous among our group of people."

The two of them are black and white, and they like to bicker with nothing, but that's all, not hurting feelings. Hudson is very easy-going and does not discriminate against black people. Moreover, in the Northeast Insurance Team, although the number of foreigners cannot be considered small, there are only Haji and Hudson in the company of Huazi and others. As for North Koreans like Kim Gon-shuo, they can no longer be considered foreign immigrants. Therefore, Haji and Hudson also have a bit of dependence on each other, taking care of each other and having a harmonious relationship.

While he was gossiping, a huge figure appeared in the sky. The two of them didn't care at first, but when Haji looked up casually, they were shocked and unable to speak for a moment. Seeing this, Hudson also looked up and muttered to himself: "What the hell is the Air Force doing?"

Several airships flew over the heads of the Russian positions at high speed. Because they were quite high, and most of the Hatchkas machine guns used for air defense by the Russian army were called on both sides of the pontoon bridge for defense, so sporadic air defense firepower could not pose much threat to the airship. At this moment, one of the airships dropped a strange object. From a distance, it was not huge, but in size, it was obviously far beyond other airdrop bombs of the same era. The appearance looked like a large wine barrel with a sharp round head, without a tail wing, and a parachute popped up shortly after it was dropped. The descent was not fast. The other airships were relatively small bombs, although they could not compare to the former, but they were also huge. Not long after these bombs fell, they made crisp explosions, and then several small wine barrel bombs flew out of their stomachs, and they also had parachutes.

Although the two of them had never seen those little bombs, their sight was still attracted by the biggest monster. This thing looked quite evil. Haji and Hudson belonged to the land warfare unit, and they had seen many airship airdrop bombs. However, this was the first time that such a big man and a parachute were seen.

Hudson, who came to his senses, shouted: "Guys, come and see the Air Force throw gifts to the Russians."

Huazi and his group were napping in the pit. When they heard this, they immediately ran out. Everyone wanted to be fresh, because they were defensive forces affiliated to the artillery regiment, so there would be no too direct positional attack mission.

"Huazi, do you know those things?" Hudson asked.

"I know it, it's a parachute." Kim Gon-soo, who had just run out, answered first.

There are dandelion troops in the northeast, that is, paratroopers, so many people have seen parachutes.

A soldier on the side teased, "Bai Ha asked about the things hanging under the parachute, who doesn't know the parachute?"

Kim Gonshuo blushed and said a few squeaks, but he couldn't say it. When Huazi saw him, he smiled and said, "I don't know him either. I guess it is a new weapon developed by the military. I don't know the power."

The Russians have now formed a conditioned reflex. When they saw the Northeast Air Force throwing things, they subconsciously hid back into the attached pits of their trenches.

Originally, the air defense force on the position was weak, and they also understood that using muskets in their hands to hit the airship would be a joke about their lives. Countless brave Russian soldiers have proved with their wasted lives. Don’t expect to take advantage of the competition with the big guys in the sky. The best way is to hide themselves. Maybe miracles will appear on the battlefield, but those who make wrong choices in miracles and life can only prove that life is as worthless as shit.

To the expectations of the Russian soldiers, the small bomb that came down first was not powerful, the explosion sound was very small, and the position was covered with white mist. Just as they were puzzled, suddenly, the thunder was steep and the earth was trembling. In the blink of an eye, there were fires flashing on the ground as big as a football field, screaming in the sky.

Huazi and his group of people watched their positions, and they all opened their mouths wide. The faint explosion from the Russian positions in the distance seemed to hit their hearts. Everyone felt the same, too cruel!

Just when they were shocked, the largest wine barrel also touched the ground. The whole process seemed very short and long, and the rhythm of seconds hit people's hearts. The final explosion brought out the mushroom cloud. While the shock wave spread, the dazzling fire seemed to show the scene in hell.

It was at this moment that Huazi... and even everyone on the insurance team's position were full of fear, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that he was not a Russian.
