Major Hauson of the Prosen 504th Independent Tank Destroyer Battalion heard the engine noise and looked up at the sky.
A red-painted Pei 3 Reconnaissance Aircraft was just flying over his battalion.
Shortly after leaving Hauson's field of view, the plane circled back, hovering at a few hundred meters' altitude, clearly observing the 504th Battalion.
The anti-aircraft machine guns of the No. 4 Tank Destroyers fired, but it was clear that the gunner had misjudged the range, with the tracer bullets falling to the ground short of the aircraft like urine.
Hauson wanted to use the binoculars to observe the aircraft, but it was moving too fast, and once he zoomed in, he would quickly lose the target.
After putting down the binoculars, Major Hauson thought of a rumor: Rocossov himself would board a red Pei 3 for reconnaissance and directly command the Air Force and ground troops in real time.
