"Woo...!" When the alarm sounded, borol stood up and hung the hook of the parachute on the fixed pole of the plane. He watched the light coming on and asked all his soldiers to stand up and check their parachutes and weapons.
"Ready for number one! Sir The last soldier loudly reported his own inspection results, followed by the second from the bottom soldier to continue to report, until the first person checked the equipment, borol nodded with satisfaction.
Then the green light comes on to show that the target area has arrived and the parachute jump can start at any time. Hirol pulled open the closed cabin door and cried out to his men, "attention, all! Everyone ready to jump
The distant ground was full of burning flames and black plumes of smoke. An hour ago, butcher bombers and do-217 bombers took off from the front-line airport almost turned over Crete. The whole island was completely destroyed by hundreds of bombs dropped, and the few military facilities on the island had been blown to pieces.
He jumped out of the plane and felt the wind in his ears. Borol watched the ground below approaching him. He is no longer the last to jump off the plane, but the first to jump out of the cabin, because in the process of parachute jumping, the time in the plane is not safe. As a battalion commander, he must ensure his own safety.
Parachute open, speed down, he saw a glider in the distance is rushing to the ground, he saw a white parachute open in the sky, he was glad to see the German Paratroopers from thousands to tens of thousands, he witnessed the development of a terrible modern service.
The huge impact came from his feet, and his heart became steadfast at this moment. After all, their battle was not too difficult on the island of Malta, so borol did not know what kind of battlefield he was waiting for this time. When he untied his parachute rope and took off his Mauser 98K rifle from his chest, he sighed a little.
The configuration of German Paratroopers is getting worse and worse. In the position of company commander, you can get an mp-44 assault rifle for private use, but in the position of battalion commander, there is absolutely no such good opportunity. Because the battalion commander does not participate in direct combat, he has only one Mauser 98K as a self-defense weapon, which is much worse than the company commander's weapon.
However, the current situation seems pretty good. Two German paratroopers landed safely beside him. The two soldiers also packed their parachutes and took out G43 rifles to gather around borol. Because it was day, neither of them called the extra command. They bent all the way to borol and found a bush to lie down.
Borol took out a telescope from the telescope box hanging on his chest and carefully observed the surrounding terrain. Because the bombing effect of the air force was remarkable, there was no decent resistance around. The Greek Garrison's air firepower was sparse, which did not pose a threat to the German Paratroopers. Not far away, an anti-aircraft gun position is constantly firing, which is the only enemy fire point around them.
When he put down his telescope, he found that there were more than a dozen soldiers squatting beside him, all of them were painted with camouflage paint, and even one of them was carrying an iron fist rocket launcher. The soldiers were waiting for his orders, their eyes fixed on borol and did not speak.
Borol really wants to take a few steps forward and kick these idiots. Before departure, it is stated repeatedly that in order to avoid accidental injury, the operation password must be strictly inquired and checked. As a result, these soldiers still put aside these words and identified their comrades and enemies by virtue of the other's uniform and familiar face.
"A company commander!" Seeing his old acquaintance, borol pointed to the enemy's air defense position that was constantly firing over there and ordered, "take your men around! Get rid of that position
"As you wish, battalion commander." A company commander carrying his own guns, with seven or eight soldiers to not far away has been pointing at the sky shooting Greek garrison antiaircraft guns touched the past. At the other end of the cannon, borol's second company is also starting to assemble. Their parachute area was divided into two parts by the position of the antiaircraft gun. As long as the gun was killed, the battalion of borol could join up.
German soldiers began to set up their own machine gun positions on the edge of the hidden bush. More soldiers landed on the ground, and many soldiers came from other troops. At this time, the role of the command finally came into play. The command came again and again, and more responses followed. The three companies under borol finally found their battalion.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom Not far away, the Greek Garrison's anti-aircraft gun position suddenly lifted up a black plume. After the German Paratroopers got close to the distance, they used two by two shielding formation and threw four grenades to attack. Obviously the attack worked so well that the Greek antiaircraft gun stopped roaring in an instant.
About 200 meters behind borol, the door of a huge transport glider has been cocked up, and a German paratrooper airborne combat vehicle has come out. Around this paratrooper combat vehicle, hundreds of German soldiers have gathered, and they begin to march towards the Greek air defense position in another direction, destroying and decaying along the way.
"Report to battalion commander, we found a map on the anti-aircraft gun position. It seems that we are about 1500 meters away from the place we want to occupy." When the company commander came back, he didn't report the casualties. It seemed that his opponent didn't cause any trouble to his troops: "go west here, just past the woods." The airborne troops in the distance seem to be from the regiment headquarters. At this time, they are already building a simple camp with some branches and other things. Borol sent a signalman to contact them a few minutes ago, but he has not come back yet. There was no accident for the radio soldiers in the battalion, but there was no news from the regiment headquarters or even the division headquarters“ During the attack, didn't you see any members of the regiment? " While checking the German map in his hand and the captured map of the Greek garrison, borol asked the company commander without looking up“ No, I didn't. We have gathered the people of the second company over there. Now there are about 110 people. The rest of the soldiers are converging here. Our loss is not big, and the formation of the plane has not been scattered by anti-aircraft guns, so there should be no problem. " A company commander is also a veteran, and is borol's old subordinates, it is also the most convenient to use. He said a lot at a time, and most of what borol wanted to know was explained very clearly“ Good Borol nodded, and his men were very capable, which enabled him to command like an arm. He took a look at his valet, Donna, and said, "go and get the deputy battalion commander. We'll set out and occupy our target area." Donna nodded and, with his rifle on his back, trotted to the deputy battalion commander, who was counting the troops over and over again. There are 510 people in their battalion, and now they have gathered more than 300 people. It can be said that the resistance encountered in this parachute parachute landing is not big, and their losses are completely within the acceptable range“ well! Chief! Are there tanks or artillery to cover us? " After a few seconds, the deputy battalion commander in the distance asked hirol in a loud voice“ There are three mortars in the battalion. Don't think about the paratroopers. I haven't contacted the regiment yet Borol, too, answered in a loud voice.
