Chapter 612

Shortly after the occupation of the airport, German large transport aircraft landed on the runway of the airport. This large transport aircraft is a newly developed transport aircraft of Juncker company, which is specially used to transport large containers and a large number of personnel. This kind of plane can carry 90 soldiers, which is absolutely the giant in the air transport aircraft of this era.

This kind of aircraft has a very interesting design, that is, it can carry two air force paratroopers if it is not equipped with other things. Because of this large transport aircraft, the German air force decided to purchase more paratroopers and develop new paratroopers.

The first transport plane slowly stopped at the end of the runway, and then the paratroopers went up to help. Because of the limitations of the times, transport planes in this era need to do a lot of preparatory work to transport big guys like tanks. Moreover, after the plane lands, the tank is not able to leave the plane directly, which can only be achieved with the help of many people.

More ju-52 transport planes also landed. This time, the Germans were totally relying on paratroopers to fight a war. They had no intention of seizing the port. A large number of "air infantry" arrived at Crete with the average performance but fuel-efficient and solid ju-52 transport aircraft, and their strength was more powerful than that of traditional paratroopers.

General Stuttgart stepped down from a ju-52, which was no different from that of other paratroopers. The only difference was that there were no other paratroopers in his transport plane, but there were high-power radio stations and all kinds of electronic equipment.

As the saying goes, what kind of leaders there are, what kind of men there are. Under the leadership of akkado, the Germans are used to fighting for the victory of the war with everything possible. Every train of them is as full as possible, and every plane has to be packed with the most things. General Stuttgart once said to an Italian general with pride: "our German army never wastes the load of an airplane, even if it is loaded with generals."

He used his practical actions to prove that his words were not boasting. When he and two assistants got off the plane, the German soldiers who went up to carry the equipment found that there were only three seats in the cabin, and the rest of the cabin was full of batteries, diesel engines and radio equipment, full of rags.

"The Fuehrer, akado? Long live Rudolph! general! Welcome to Crete. " A major stepped forward and stood at attention in front of Stuart. He came with the helicopter and took control of the airport. After that, he was waiting for Stuart, the commander-in-chief of the airborne troops who was about to land.

"Thank you, major. I swore to my soldiers that I would always stand with them, so I didn't stay in Greece, although it looked good Stuart stepped off the plane and dusted himself. He pointed to the ju-52 behind him, then laughed in front of the major officer and complained: "the equipment inside is well maintained, but some places are too dirty."

"I'll order it cleaned." Said the major hastily.

"You've got enough people to clean the room?" Stuart asked as he went forward.

"Half an hour ago, the commander of the 1st Battalion, borol, heard that his battalion had controlled the town in the East and the crossroads, and had set up cross fire lines there. The fighting on the other side of the 2nd Battalion was more smooth. Three paratroopers provided direct fire support, tearing up the defense line of the Greek garrison. Now they are less than one kilometer away from the target." The major replied, "there are 300 fully armed soldiers and 110 airborne division guards. I think one of them can always clean up the radio?"

"Send 300 people from the airport guard to the second regiment," Stewart immediately began to arrange. "Another 50 people will be drawn out to support the first battalion of the first regiment. The Intelligence Department expects that they will be attacked by the Greek garrison."

He paused, then looked at the major: "now you only have 60 soldiers. They have to guard the whole airport and help the transport plane carry the contents! What do you think of your people? Remember, never leave paratroopers idle! "

"Yes! General The major hastened to make arrangements, holding his helmet in one hand and swinging his hand back and forth, and ran to the temporary tent where there must be a small power radio station. Because you can see the diesel generator next to the tent, you can also see the wires and the huge radio antenna. Around the tent stood several officers, pointing to a map and discussing something.

The nearby Greek defences were collapsing, and sporadic resistance was soon cleared. The German army had taken control of a considerable position, and placed a very strong defense system on all sides of the position. German soldiers near the airport were busy laying a huge German flag on the ground to avoid accidental injuries caused by German aircraft bombing here.

At the same time, borol was counting his losses in a room. Just a few minutes ago, a wave of Greek soldiers attempted to occupy his position, and there was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides. One German soldier was killed and two others were seriously injured by grenades. The German Paratroopers killed 41 enemy soldiers and captured six prisoners.

From the mouth of these prisoners, we know that the Greek garrison commander has not fully grasped the scale of the German airborne troops up to now. He is still trying his best to strengthen the defense lines around his islands, in order to cope with the inevitable emergence of the German naval fleet and landing forces. Borol collected all the cigarettes on the prisoner's body on his desk, and sent them all down. As soon as the prisoners went out, he said to the two company commanders who came in: "arrange two people to send the prisoners to the regimental headquarters. In addition, we should send the results of our trial, the corresponding reports and the war readiness map of the Greek garrison, and then we'd better bring a paratrooper chariot. I'm afraid the other side will use heavy weapons. " No one will think that they have too many troops, and the crying children have milk to eat. This is a constant truth. All grass-roots units will try their best to ask for reinforcements, which is one of the most basic ways to ensure that they can survive. Of course, crying children do not necessarily have milk to eat, because your boss and your boss's boss can easily distinguish which requests are true and which are just "routine". It's just that you have to cry. After all, although you don't have milk to cry, you don't have milk to cry. We all know this. So "request for reinforcements" is the same sentence as "long live the head of state". Borol looked at a company commander nodding and agreed, then quickly added: "G42 machine gun ammunition really needs some, send two smart veterans to come over and take two packs of cigarettes. Say a good word to the supply officer of the regiment headquarters. Make sure you get some. "“ Bang On the roof of the village in the distance, a German paratrooper sniper fired a shot. Borol was stunned, and then quickly asked the two company commanders to return to their combat posts: "the enemy is attacking! Get back to the line! Come on! Don't go back empty handed, one person carrying a box of machine gun bullets! Come on The battle started without warning, and the German machine gun burst out a unique sound again, like a chainsaw, tearing linen. The tracer bullets flew in a straight line to the distance, knocking one Greek soldier after another to the ground. The distance of the other side was quite long, so the German army had only one light machine gun position to fire fiercely. About ten seconds later, the bullet chain was exhausted, and the machine guns began to shift their positions. Everything returned to silence, but the Greek army did not retreat, they were in groups, little by little close to the German position. On another roof in the distance, a German soldier holding a telescope put down his observation equipment. He stretched out his hand in the direction of borol. One hand was under the other hand. The upper hand stretched out four fingers. After a gesture, he clenched his hands and beat each other twice“ An armored vehicle, 400 infantry. It's not small. It's almost a battalion. " Borol watched the soldier finish his stroke and muttered, "let the mortar of the battalion start shooting according to the observation data. Let's fight one round first!" Donna nodded quickly, then walked out of the room and came to the open space at the door. He gave orders to the four mortar shooters to fire. The battalion mortar commander raised a small red flag, and the observation post on the roof immediately gave a sign. The artillery commander nodded, indicated that he understood, and began to issue the command: "parameter 1, fire!" There were only three mortars in the battalion when they attacked. The other one was later found by other troops and returned to the organizational system. These skilled mortar shooters had determined the shooting area before the war. They divided the front of the German position into three distances, so that they could ensure their shooting accuracy“ Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa There were four dull noises, and four mortar shells flew out of the barrel. They fell into the measured position in a graceful arc, and immediately set off four huge explosions. All the explosion points were in the crowd of Greek attacking soldiers, who immediately had a little confusion“ Fire With a roar of German, the German army's intensive firepower swept its opponent, and the Greeks in front of them soon covered the part where they were shot and fell down. As the attack extended, the second round of mortar shells fell into the crowd, and the Greek soldiers began to retreat“ Asshole! These damned German Paratroopers are so bullying! It's more powerful than our infantry Looking at the defeat of his troops, a Greek battalion commander cursed with a trace of jealousy.
