Chapter 1821： 1st Airborne Operation II

After inspecting their equipment for the last time, all 500 paratroopers boarded the transport plane. With the roar of the engine, a bomber-modified transport plane began to enter the runway one by one, and then began to take off under the guidance of the ground. In the early morning, if nothing happens, the time to enter the sky over Budapest is about 8 o'clock. The transport fleet is called the heron fleet, and the ground attack fleet known as the Jaegers is responsible for cover and face-to-face attacks.

"Finally repeat the task. According to the intelligence, our goal is that the parliamentary nobles are concentrated in Leopold City. Our task is to first land in the No. 3 area. Here we will meet some people who respond. After landing, there will be about 30 minutes of assembly and preparation time. Starting from the time of parachuting, the Jaeger attack fleet responsible for ground cover will launch a 40-minute attack on the main target-the Hungarian Parliament Building. They will suppress all Known firepower points and heavily fortified places."

"Of course, such suppression may not completely destroy the opponent’s defense, but it’s okay. When you encounter an insurmountable obstacle, take out your red flare to mark your opponent. If we are lucky, we can get an air force. Bomb support."

"The second paratrooper company is responsible for controlling an artillery position in the No. 4 area. If the Air Force cannot provide enough support, you can seek their help. You must keep your field telephone and line. This is our most reliable contact method. The third paratrooper company is responsible for blocking the roads entering and exiting this area. In short, this time we are carrying out a hunting mission, not a capture or rescue mission. Just kill all the people who are hostile to us. It’s that simple!” Munich The commander of the special paratrooper battalion, Lieutenant Colonel House, confessed the combat mission to his subordinates for the last time.

"Lieutenant Colonel, it's the Jaeger fleet! Our flying artillery is here!" a soldier said, pointing to a fleet outside the cabin. This is an attack aircraft group composed of two kinds of bombers. There are more than 50 aircraft in total. Among them, there are more than 30 K4 bombers and more than 20 K6 bombers. If you simply talk about the amount of bombs, the K4 bombers Obviously not as good as K6. However, because of its excellent low-altitude and low-speed performance, this bomber will undertake close ground support tasks. They will rely on 20MM machine guns and 12.7MM machine guns on the nose and wings, as well as a small number of small bombs, to carry out long-term operations in key areas. Block the attack. The 200KG bombs carried by the K6 bombers are mainly aimed at some targets such as injection into barracks and artillery positions. The two bombers cooperate with each other to provide cover for paratroopers on the ground.

"I wish we have a happy cooperation!" The pilot of the Jaeger fleet sent out his greetings with the signal light on his fuselage.

"We will complete the task smoothly." The leader of the heron fleet responded.

"God! What did I see?!" An aristocratic private soldier exclaimed, looking at the plane flying from the north. "I never thought that there would be such a large fleet over Budapest!"

"Austrians won't really act? Are they trying to kill us?" A soldier next to him took out a leaflet from his pocket with some trembling, which wrote very clearly in German and Hungarian. Whether it is an aristocratic army or a bourgeois radical, it is an illegal organization in the eyes of the Vienna government! They are all the objects to be surrendered, and surrender is the only way out.

Before the official strike came, the propaganda offensive of the Bavarian Army had begun. A large number of troops began to gather around Budapest, and in the air, planes flew by every day, spreading large numbers of leaflets toward the ground. And the effect of this is not bad, whether it is Hungarians or foreigners acting as mercenaries, let them fight with each other, then there is still morale to talk about, but they must face the Austrian regular army or even the Bavarian army, I am afraid they will I really don't have any courage.

The two sides who are fighting together in Budapest have no commendable air defense firepower. The huge Bavarian fleet entered the city almost unimpeded, and according to the map, they quickly found their airdrop location. The Hungarian in charge directly marked the location on the lawn with a lot of paint! It is also very easy to find out from 1500 meters in the air.

"Okay, brothers, our car is at the stop, let's get ready to go down!" The side door of the K8 bomber has been opened. After checking his gear one last time, Lieutenant Colonel House walked to the hatch first. At this time, the speed of the plane was not fast, and it had not reached the speed limit on the highway of later generations. The lieutenant colonel took a deep breath, and then jumped down first. At the same time, the paratroopers on other planes also began to parachute. In less than a minute, the parachutes spread out in the air. Human history The first airborne operation last started!

"Unexpectedly The Bavarian Legion would really fall from the air as they said! This is the latest strange attack method I have seen!" At this time, some Hungarians on the ground were in charge of responding. Then one by one raised their heads and looked at the paratroopers slowly falling in the sky.

"If we had a machine gun, then these guys floating in the air would be a group of targets." A Hungarian said unconvincingly.

"Then you must have never played a plane or a balloon." A veteran who had participated in Eastern Front combat said next to him: "Although, these guys floating in the air are indeed very fragile, but in fact it is not easy to hit. Machine guns, even the Bavarian MG machine guns have a maximum effective shooting height of only 800 meters against the air, and the slant distance will be shorter. Moreover, in the face of such scattered targets, if you want to block, you need a lot of machine guns and Anti-aircraft gun."

"And based on what I know about the Bavarian Army, if their colleagues are to perform such a dangerous mission, the army will definitely give this unit a great cover force. Look, their bombers have already entered the field!" The veteran said with some envy. This is not just looking up to advanced weapons and equipment. More importantly, he saw a kind of respect. During the two-year battle on the Eastern Front, the Bavarian Army never gave up any troops with a chance of survival. They will always give their front-line troops the best possible guarantee, ranging from enough weapons and supplies to small, first-aid kits with complete medicines and self-heating meals.
