Chapter 384 The man shaking his wings (Third update, please subscribe)

Dreams, everyone has dreams.

Most people’s dream is nothing more than a healthy, safe and prosperous life. Even what they want is just food and clothing, nothing more.

Basically, it is the minimum survival needs.

Only those who have experienced hunger know how precious this minimum survival requirement is.

Yang Dafu had suffered from hunger, even though he was born into a family of officials, but when he fled with his parents to Guan Nei after the fall of Northeast China, he knew the taste of hunger for the first time. Even though it had been many years, he still felt hungry. The taste of hunger was always etched in his mind.

Because he knows the taste of starvation, when his brigade was transferred to Germany to participate in the airlift to Berlin two months ago, he had only one thought in his mind - to complete the mission. After all, he had endured Hungry, I also know what it feels like to be hungry. There was also sympathy for those who were starving during the siege.

On this day, as usual, the roar of the six R2800 engines of the Super Giant transport echoed over Frankfurt Airport. Soon twelve Super Giants flew into the sky over East Germany, and along the way they were Those large and small towns that suffered devastating disasters in the war echoed over the sky. Because it flew at an altitude of only two thousand meters, people on the ground could clearly see these giants.

In fact, they count the planes in the sky every day. They know what these planes are for. They transport food to Berlin, which is blockaded by the Russians - not only food, but almost everything except drinking water. Supplies, such as a piece of thread or a piece of bread, need to be brought in from outside.

Three years ago, they were still life-and-death enemies, but now, they are saving their former enemies at all costs. Whenever these planes pass through the sky, the mood of the Germans on the route will change. Perhaps the loving father of steel will never know that the blockade of Berlin is exactly the booster that pushes the Germans to the West.

Three months ago, when the Giant and Super Giant appeared in Germany for the first time, people were shocked by its amazing load capacity, especially the latter, with a load capacity of 35 tons, which can be called the overlord among transport aircraft.

The super giant’s amazing transport capacity has been praised by everyone.

“With only 100 Super Giants, we can supply all the needs of Berliners!”

The words of Clay, commander of the Allied Forces in Germany, undoubtedly proved its value. Berlin At least 4,500 tons of supplies are needed every day to maintain basic survival. Twenty-six Titans and twelve Super Titans can transport nearly one thousand tons of supplies to Berlin every day!

From this we can imagine its importance, and for this reason, the Nanyang Air Force transport aircraft has always been the star on this route.

A few hours later, twelve Super Giants landed at Tempelhof Airport. Due to the large load, it would take more time to unload the aircraft.

While the plane was unloading, Yang Dafu did not go to the airport pilot club to rest. Instead, he walked to the edge of the airport. Previously in the cockpit, he saw children crowded by the barbed wire fence.

Most pilots in Nanyang can speak German, and soon he started talking to the group of onlookers.

“Are you a super giant pilot?”

When the children asked, their eyes were full of admiration - in the past three months, "super giant" has long been in their hearts The "Giant", as the star in the Berlin sky, is known to everyone, not only because of its amazing size and capacity, but also because of its "German origin".

"Yes, if you see no number 0012 over there, that's my super giant."

While chatting with the children, Yang Dafu noticed that these Berlin children were very special. They were not like the children in Frankfurt. Like that, begging him for snacks and just watching everything in front of you quietly. When they heard that he was the pilot of the "Super Giant", the children all shouted excitedly, and some children even took pictures of the Super Giant... which were actually pictures torn out of newspapers and asked him to sign them.

Facing the enthusiasm of the children and looking at the pairs of expectant eyes, while giving them autographs, Yang Dafu wanted to give them something, although these children did not ask for anything from him.

After signing an autograph for a child, I remembered that I still had a few candies on me, so I handed the candies to them through the barbed wire fence.

“Here, Hansen, this is for you!”

"Here, give it to me..."

Hansen looked at the candy in his hand in disbelief, and his gray face was filled with joy. The children who got the candies looked like they had received a treasure, and they happily ate the long-lost candies. The children who couldn't eat the candy picked up the wrapping paper and smelled it.

The scene before his eyes made Yang Dafu feel sad, and he said to the children who did not get the candy.

"Heinrich, come back tomorrow, and I will bring more candies tomorrow."

This is Yang Dafu's promise to these children, and the children's expectations are high the next day , he indeed brought more candies.

In the next few days, Yang Dafu would bring some candies every day, and there were more and more children at the barbed wire fence, because he did not always have the opportunity to come to the airport. After giving the candies to the children, he simply told the children We:

“Next time I will drop candies from the plane. Each candy will be wrapped in a small parachute made of a handkerchief. I will swing the wings before landing, and then you will know it is me. , I just "shaked""

On the night of returning to Frankfurt, Yang Dafu made three parachutes with a handkerchief, and wrapped the candy rations provided by the army under the parachutes, while performing the transportation mission the next day. , shaking its wings before landing, airdropping candies to the children.

In this way, starting from October, a "super giant" with "swinging wings" appeared in the sky over Berlin. As the wings swayed, candy bombs fell from the sky. At first it was just him, but soon, twelve "Super Giants" joined him, as did the ground crew. They made parachutes out of old sheets, wrapped the candy distributed by the troops under the parachutes, and then transported them. onto the plane and thrown to the children in Berlin by the crew. Every time the Super Giant shakes its wings, there are always many children around the airport following the Super Giant, chasing the candy bombs that fall from the sky.

"Shake is coming, shake is coming..."

The children's cheers and chasing soon attracted the attention of the media. When the media reported, "Uncle Shake Wings" and "Candy Bomber" immediately became known to the public, and the "little secrets" among pilots were exposed.

As soon as the plane landed at Frankfurt Airport that day, Yang Dafu learned the bad news from the ground staff - the wing captain wanted to see him. When he arrived at the wing captain's office, he discovered that not only the wing captain was in the office, but also the wing captain. There is General William Turner, who is the commander-in-chief of the airlift. All Chinese pilots are familiar with him, because he was the commander during the "Hump Route". Three months ago, he took office as the commander-in-chief of the Berlin Airlift. At that time, a large number of old subordinates of the "Hump Route" also came.

Why is he here?

“Yang Dafu, you took the lead?

Looking at Yang Dafu standing in front of him, Huang Keliang, captain of the 3rd Transportation Wing, asked loudly while holding the newspaper in his hand.

“Yes, sir.”

“Where did the candy come from?”

“Troop rations.”

“Where are the parachutes? ”

"Made of old sheets!"

"Did you do it all by yourself?"

"Yes, sir, it has nothing to do with anyone else. I know this is against military discipline. I am willing to take full responsibility!”

It’s over, we need to be held accountable!

In this case, then bear it alone, and you must not involve your brothers.

"Are you sure you did it alone?"

Huang Keliang asked again.

“Yes, sir!”

William Turner walked up to Yang Dafu, looked at this guy, and asked in blunt Chinese.

“Can you afford this responsibility?”

"Yes, General."

Since it has violated military discipline, it is appropriate to accept the punishment.

"You can't afford it, because in Berlin, every child is eager to get the candy sent by "Shake", there are hundreds of thousands of children there!"

Looking in front of me, there is no reaction. William Turner thought of his former colleagues in China. Like him, they were a group of determined and compassionate young people. Many of them died in China. During the war.

Thinking of them, Turner said.

"In you, I see a true soldier. What the world lacks is never soldiers, but soldiers who are sincere, just, fearless and compassionate from their own hearts. If every soldier can be like Like you, maybe there will be no more wars."

After some emotion, General Turner turned to Huang Keliang and said.

"Huang, you did a good job. I think we should get more pilots involved and let us send candy to the children in Berlin. Well, let's call the operation "Operation Snacks"."

After that, Turner said to Yang Dafu.

"Captain, the whole world will be moved by your righteous deed. After all, compassion is the most basic human emotion. The Russians can do without it. They may use hunger as a weapon, but we need to let everyone The world has seen... There are always people with compassion in this world! ”
