Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 658 Communication Squad
Under the escort of a Ming Navy frigate, a landing ship slowly landed on the coast of Flanders.

Originally, they were going to evacuate people to the other side of the strait, but they sent people here first.

The landing ship sent here is the communication unit of the Ming Marine Corps. It is a battalion. Their main purpose is not to exchange fire with the enemy. In fact, even if they fight with the Qing army, they will not have any advantage. , Their real role is to assume communication equipment and networks to facilitate smooth communication with the military operations command on the other side of the strait.

After all, such a thorough and complicated military operation cannot be imagined without timely communication.

The new recruit, Lan Dongjun, was sitting in the passenger seat of a warrior car, looking nervously at this strange land.

Xiang Jin next to him drove the car and said: "We have entered the Longtan Tiger's Den, and 70 Qing troops have surrounded this place to death."

Lan Dongjun straightened the helmet on his head, held the gun and said, "The sea is still open to us."

Xiang Jin glanced at Lan Dongjun, and was so angry with this handsome classmate.

The two were originally rivals in love. Xiang Jin fell in love with Dai Yun as soon as he entered college and had a crush on him for four years, but what Dai Yun liked was the cold Lan Dongjun.Speaking of which, Xiang Jin's transformation into a soldier is also inseparable from this guy.

Lan Dongjun resolutely chose to join the army because he was in debt to his father.And Dai Yun, who likes him and has become obsessed, also gave up her great job and joined the Marine Corps.Although Dai Yun was only a civilian officer in the rear medical station, she was also in the army after all.Xiang Jin didn't want to give the two of them any chance to spend time alone, so he signed up on a whim.As a result, by accident, Dai Yun and Lan Dongjun were not assigned together. At this time, Dai Yun was still in Gibraltar, but Xiang Jin and Lan Dongjun became comrades-in-arms in the same unit, and they were even in the same squad at this time. inside.

"What's the name here?" Xiang Jin asked.

Lan Dongjun flipped through the map and replied, "Dunkirk."

The captain's voice came from the radio: "Attention, all units, start the first step of erection work immediately. We have to build the first communication station here before three o'clock in the afternoon. The task is very tight and very important. All Comrades must cheer up and complete the task."

Xiang Jin asked Lan Dongjun, "Should we still send someone to the French army to find a liaison officer? After all, we are doing this work for them."

Lan Dongjun said: "Of course someone will do it, as long as we do our own thing well."

A group of soldiers from the communications unit of the Marine Corps began to set up antennas. One-third of the troops were veterans, and two-thirds were recruits like Lan Dongjun and Xiang Jin. , and the work efficiency is not bad.

Just when they were about to finish setting up the signal transmitting station, suddenly there was a roaring sound in the sky.

"Airplane?!" Xiang Jin's expression changed.

"It's not ours, it's from the Qing army, damn it!"

Lan Dongjun's face was serious, "The target should not be us. Their target is probably the port. They want to blow up the port terminal and prevent the French army from withdrawing from here."

The Dunkirk area is actually full of shoals, which are not suitable for large-scale deep-draft ships. Even the frigate that escorted them was not as close as the navigation letter, but let the landing ship approach the coast by itself.

"Oops, our landing ship!"

Although the landing ship was not in the port, such a large target would definitely be discovered and attacked by the Qing army air force.The communication troops were originally scheduled to leave directly on the landing ship after completing the mission. After all, Daming did not intend to let any of his own troops be lost on French soil.If the landing ship is destroyed, then their communications force will lose their way back.

There are quite a few Qing military planes in the sky, at least sixty of them. It can be seen that the Qing army paid a lot of money to prevent this retreat by eating 50 European Holy Allies.

Because of the retreat of France, the air force base established by Ming Dynasty in France is also facing great risks. The three air force bases were directly abandoned. All the fighter planes of the Ming Air Force were withdrawn overnight after receiving the order. The airport was blown up.

Now in the frontline area, Daming does not have enough airports to prevent the sudden attack of the Qing army air force.

Fortunately, Ming also has an air force base in the UK. In order to grasp the situation, there are multiple reconnaissance missions every day.In carrying out the task of setting up the communication station, the Air Force also dispatched multiple fighter planes to provide them with protection in the air, and they are still patrolling in this airspace.

But there are too many enemies and too few of them.

"Attack the bombers first!" The officer of the Daming Air Force Flying Brigade immediately made a decision.

The performance of the J-1 Mustang fighter they drive is much better than that of the Bi Fang fighter of the Qing army. Even if they are fighting with few against many, they can easily get out of the battle. After all, at the maximum speed, they can reach an astonishing speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour, which is completely Bi Fang's fighter planes cannot catch up.

So they decided to take risks and attack the bombers of the Qing Army Air Force to minimize the possible damage on the ground.

Several Mustang fighter planes rushed up with an indomitable attitude.The Qing army's Bi Fang fighter planes did not give in at all and intercepted them. However, the Ming army's fighter planes were very few. From a visual point of view, the Qing army had a great advantage.

"Immediately notify the air crew to send support, the Qing army is going to bomb the port facilities of Dunkirk!"

The Mustang fighter jets soaring at high speed broke left and right, and shuttled through the hail of bullets shaped by Bi Fang fighter jets. Although they were small in number, the outstanding qualities of the Ming Air Force pilots were undoubtedly displayed.They chose the most correct combat method, using their speed advantage and agility to attack the bombers, and then after finding the enemy encircled and killed, they directly pushed the throttle and ran away. After running a certain distance, they actually continued to fight back.

It was just eight Mustang fighter planes that shot down four Qing army bombers and as many as 10 fighter jets in a row, which made the entire Qing army's bombing mission very unsmooth.

However, one Mustang fighter was unfortunately hit. The pilot immediately parachuted to escape after finding that he was out of control.

Lan Dongjun and Xiang Jin saw this scene on the ground, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "He must be rescued!"

There is no doubt that this area is very dangerous, even if it is still under the control of the French army, but the French army may soon be driven into the sea by the Qing army, and the comrades cannot be lost here in vain.Lan Dongjun and Xiang Jin immediately reported to their superiors, requesting to rescue this air force comrade.
