Chapter 1620： Griffin Special Forces dispatched again

Under Cyric’s special arrangement, Skorzene selected a group of soldiers with high loyalty and excellent military quality from the Waffen-SS in the early years. After strict training, they formed a group of soldiers. A dedicated griffon special force.

Not long after its establishment, it began to work wet and dry, robbing gold from the sea, and showed its talents.

Later, after the start of the battle to invade France, it suddenly landed on the Belgian fortress, and the soldiers descended from the sky, completing the impossible task.

This force has also become a legendary existence.

However, in the war of the invasion of the Soviet Union, this force did not appear very much. The large forces on the ground and the large corps did not need special forces to be dispatched.

The Griffin special forces have been training endlessly in the rear almost every day. Seeing that their large forces have entered Moscow, they have not yet been able to fight, and they have long been suffocated.

And just this morning, finally, the order to fight came down.

"Attention, all troops, stop training immediately, and gather at the airport in two hours!" Captain Skolzner's voice sounded on the training ground: "We are about to take off for combat!"

For special forces, they can appear where they need it at any time. Therefore, in many cases, they arrive in the theater by plane. When they reach the sky, they can parachute directly.

However, parachuting cannot carry heavy equipment, so in this period, gliders are more suitable than parachuting. Of course, there is also a helicopter that is more suitable than gliders, but large helicopters to meet special operations have not yet been developed. Come out, so until now, the main force of special forces equipment is still ordinary gliders.

Only a dozen small helicopters were equipped for the troops to study new tactics, but when the whole troops were dispatched, only gliders were the most convenient.

While the soldiers were preparing for battle with excitement, Skorzene also deployed tasks to his subordinates in the conference room.

The special forces are not destined to be very large. Up to now, the Griffin Special Forces is probably the standard of a strengthened brigade. It has more than 7,000 people, and has 120 Panther 2 tanks of 20 tons and 120 A special combat vehicle.

"Our task this time is to quickly drop by air to the vicinity of Stalingrad. On the banks of the Volga River, there is a wide and flat river beach that can be used as the landing place for our glider. After landing, we disguised as the main force and moved to Stalin. The vicinity of Geller put tremendous pressure on the defenders, forcing them to surrender."

It's such a task after a long time! I heard that other people were a little dissatisfied. I was still a supporting role. When would I be the protagonist?

Sure enough, someone could not help but say: "If the defenders do not surrender, will we turn into a strong offensive and go all the way into Stalingrad?"

They are all eager to fight, and now they are just forcing each other to surrender. Of course, it is not enough fun. If the other party does not surrender, they will fight all the way in.

Hearing the words of his men, Skorzner shook his head vigorously: "No, no, we are not ordinary field troops. Although we have been trained in street fighting, we are only fighting with a few people. We cannot fight the enemy head-on. If the opponent does not surrender, then we will wait where we are, waiting for the main force to arrive."

As a result, the people present were disappointed.

Special forces are not omnipotent. Special forces are only suitable for special operations. Siege battles like the present are not their strong points. Rush offensively, on the contrary, they will suffer more casualties.

Skolzner knew the intentions of his superiors, and knew the position given to them by the head of Cyric, so Skolzner was not like other soldiers who were eager to fight. He cared about the results of the battle, and he cared more about his troops. They are not afraid of sacrifice, but they cannot make unnecessary sacrifices.

Next to the base, there was originally a large airport with four long runways. Just in between their meetings, a Junker-290 had arrived on the runway.

This kind of precious bomber will not be equipped for them. When they need it, the bomber force will switch over. Because there are not so many bombers deployed at a time, there are some civil aviation Atlantic airliners that fly here. .

The tarmac of the airport was quickly full. If you look from the sky, this is definitely an extremely spectacular scene.

The Griffin Special Forces are not directly equipped with Junker-290, but their giant glider is fully equipped.

ME321, this glider has been around for a year or two. After the shotgun change, the main force of the Griffin Special Forces is this glider.

The exterior looks very plump. It is centered on a box-shaped cargo hold 11 meters long, 3.15 meters wide, and 3.32 meters high. The front nose is a shell-shaped cargo door that can be opened to the sides, which can be directly loaded into large-volume cargo. . The cargo floor is very low from the ground and has a special ramp. At the same time, the cargo hold floor is reinforced with a strong frame, which can carry 22 tons of cargo.

At present, there are nearly two hundred such gliders, of which 120 are used to transport the main Leopard 2 tank. Although this tank is already equipped in the early stage, it still has technology in some combat situations. Advantage.

What's more, the Soviets did not have enough tanks until the war began. Stalingrad was completely supported by street fighting. If they left the city, those Soviet troops would definitely be destroyed instantly.

If tanks are not transported, then a glider can transport 200 fully armed soldiers. Therefore, the entire Griffin Special Forces can be projected in one go This almost catches up with the battlefield transportation capacity of the later generations of the United States. After several years of development in Germany, the strategic transportation capacity is so abnormal. .

"Gryphon Special Forces, let's go now!" Sitting on a glider, the commander of the Special Forces, Skorzeny shouted.

It has always been the tradition that he will not command behind, he will follow directly on the battlefield, and his plane will fly first.

Skolzner, with a scarred face, will once again lead his troops on the battlefield, and this time, even Skolzner did not expect that he will perform a truly groundbreaking special Combat.

Junker-290 bomber, with four engines at full horsepower, and the propellers are spinning frantically. At the same time, while dragging the glider behind to run, four booster rockets are bundled on both sides of the fuselage of the ME321 behind. Fired together.

With the help of the rocket boost, the bomber glided more than 800 meters, then pulled the glider into the air.

The four runways, with planes taking off constantly, form a spectacular picture.
