Chapter 721

The engine of the plane roared in the air, and borol looked at Donna sitting next to him without saying a word, looking at his left arm without a hand. In the cockpit, which was shaking slightly because of the airflow and the engine, the light was flashing to prepare for the parachute jump.

Paratroopers are always thrown into the most dangerous environment, always carrying out combat tasks without support alone, and always facing the most powerful enemy under the most difficult conditions. But they are the Edelweiss in full bloom in the Alps, the small white flowers that like to bloom in the cold wind.

"Gentlemen! This is our first airborne without anti-aircraft gun attack! It can be said that everything is no different from training! The real test is how to build a solid defense line in a short time after landing and hold the position firmly! " Borol stood up slowly, grasped the handle of the shaking plane, and said to his men in a loud voice: "if you are afraid of death, you don't have to jump down! Now? Check your equipment and get ready to parachute

With his order, everyone stood up. They were silent and began to check parachutes and fixed ropes of materials for their comrades in arms. Except for the roar of the aircraft engine, the whole cabin was very quiet. Everyone didn't speak. They just started to move without pause.

"Check it out! Check it out! " With the reply, all the soldiers in the cabin slapped on the shoulders of the soldiers in the front row. They hung the rope hook used in the parachute jump on the long fixed handle of the plane, and then waited for the moment when borol pushed the cabin door open.

When the green light was on, borol opened the cabin door beside him, and the cold wind immediately poured into the interior of the plane, which made everyone shake, and everyone narrowed their eyes. After all, the wind in the sky was very fierce, which made people frown involuntarily.

Borol looked at his soldiers and yelled out what he wanted to say in his own voice. In the wind, the full cry was not harsh. On the contrary, he had to listen to it with all his strength to hear it clearly: "gentlemen, I was always the last one to jump before, to make sure that every paratrooper jumped out of the plane... Today, I was the first one to jump! The warriors will kill the enemy with me, and the cowards can go back safely! "

After that, he got on his legs and jumped out of the plane. At the moment of the jump, he called out a slogan, which was not so loud in the noisy wind, but echoed in the hearts of every veteran: "Damanhur!"

"I have to go down with him and take care of our sloppy battalion commander! Otherwise, he won't write the final report. " Donna laughed and then jumped out of the plane. At the moment of jumping out of the cabin door, he also called out the slogan that all the soldiers who had experienced the battle had agreed to shout: "Damanhur!"

"Damanhur!" The third soldier didn't say much, dragged a pile of supplies, and jumped out of the cabin door of the plane. In the years when he became a paratrooper, his specialty was killing people. He kept firing to kill the enemy, not talking. So he quietly jumped out of the plane cabin, but even if he was silent, he also called out this sentence: "Damanhur!"

As one German paratrooper after another jumped out of the plane, the cries of Damanhur echoed in the sky grew louder and more orderly. These shouts made the roar of the monotonous engine produce waves, and made all the soldiers who swayed in the sky feel the indomitable spirit.

Yes, they are German Paratroopers who will never retreat no matter how hard the conditions are and how bloody the fighting is. This is the pride of edelweiss and the pride and honor of the German nation. They are the toughest fighters, the most powerful and the most terrible!

The tail of the plane, blooming out one after another of the white parachute flowers, these parachutes in the sky is very small, but more and more, at the beginning is ten hundred, to the end became thousands. There was no coward left in his plane. Everyone jumped out of the plane, blowing the cold wind in the sky and falling slowly.

Parachutists parachuted in Malin because there was not a big military airport near Malin. At the same time, a large number of transport planes arrived in Ivankov, where thousands of German parachutists were unloaded in the field airport. The scale of the airborne operation was unprecedented, because the German army did not go deep into the enemy's rear. They sent out a large number of planes, regardless of the losses, and dropped more soldiers than the normal airdrop.

In fact, there was no loss. As the air flow continued to drop, these paratroopers finally landed safely in the suburbs near Marin. They had to gather nearby and get supplies that had long been hidden nearby. They built a solid defense line in Marin to resist the possible desperate attack of the Soviet Red Army.

As one paratrooper after another landed on the ground, borol was even a little unaccustomed to the environment without gunfire and gunfire. He put away his parachute and ordered the soldiers around him to start collecting these materials. After all, some things can be recycled. Germany's strategic reserves are not abundant, and what can be saved is what can be saved.

Some soldiers began to collect parachutes from nearby soldiers, while the remaining soldiers began to gather and divide their own establishment. Some parachutists who could not find troops for the time being were waiting for their direct subordinate troops, while most soldiers who found their own troops began to sort out ammunition, food and other important things.

Not far from the forest, a train slowly out of the woods, more than a dozen cars, full of ammunition, tents and other military supplies, the German soldiers on the train with guns, until the train stopped in the center of the paratroopers assembly point, the seal on the car was torn. The metal door was opened and tons of supplies were unloaded to supplement the parachutists“ Here are 3000 anti tank rocket launchers, as a supplement to your weapons and equipment! Malin is the last line of defense in the north of Kiev! I'll leave it to you all! " A German official in charge of escorting the train stood at attention and saluted the parachute officers such as borol. After that, he left a copy of the record and pointed to the soldiers on the train: "they have also given it to you. They are under your command!" Further away, there is an independent heavy tank destroyer battalion, with more than 40 Tiger tanks lining up. The battalion commander is reporting to general Stuart who arrived here earlier: "this heavy tank destroyer battalion is ordered to reinforce here, general! Now I'm under your command! The whole battalion is not full. There are 41 Tiger tanks. All of them line up here. Please drive your command! "“ Rest outside my headquarters. Stand by! We also need to build the fortifications of Marin. You also happen to take part in it. I am not a professional armored commander. You need to judge whether it is better to use tanks in the countryside or to invest your battalion in the city to achieve greater results. " Stuttgart said to the battalion commander as he went to his temporary headquarters“ It depends on whether you think about the counterattack later, if... "The battalion commander kept up with Stewart's pace, and said as he walked forward“ Major, we don't need to fight back. " Stuttgart interrupted and stopped to look at the major battalion commander: "get ready to drain your last drop of blood here in Marlin! Here is a grave, to bury the enemy, and our own grave! "“ We should try our best to annihilate as many enemies as possible here and still hold our defensive positions within or beyond the prescribed time. This is the fighting style of our paratroopers. We do not attack because we have already completed the task of attack in the sky; We only defend, because our feet are already the territory of the Empire! " With that, he continued to move forward with his assistant, and the commander of the independent tank destroyer battalion of the SS just stood there, looking at the tall figure who had gone a long way“ Bury all the mines in the front of the defensive position! We cross fire in the fields on both sides of the road! Set up foxholes and make good use of the farmhouses and nearby highlands! Set up observation posts, sniper positions Borol pointed to the surrounding terrain and assigned tasks to his soldiers. Several paratroopers run to both sides against the Mg 42 machine guns of bipods, and set up cross fire points. Combined with the mines and obstacles, they can dump 1000 bullets on a whole chain in the shortest time, then retreat with guns and leave this forward defensive position. Every Paratrooper is an expert and a super defense master. What they are good at is to complete the strongest defense with the simplest layout possible. Because most of the time, they don't have time to build precise fortifications. All they can rely on is the rough terrain, the weapons in their hands and their inner tenacity. So the paratroopers began to set up some simple defensive positions with protruding tentacles on the places they had to go to Marin. They set up a small number of soldiers to hold these positions and wait for the enemy to arrive. After one attack, they immediately retreated to delay the attack speed of the other side and fight for more defense time. For paratroopers, there is no fortification that can never be broken. What they insist on is a time before which they will try their best to stop the attack of the other side. This is what they are good at. They block the enemy gradually until they die“ Send investigation troops to confirm the position of the enemy! Telegraph general Liszt! Let's say we have reached the designated position! " Stewart put down his telescope and spoke to his assistant.
