Chapter 22: The Soldiers Descend on the City (I)

After the creation of the Afrika Korps, the commander of the Panzergrenadier Brigade of Field Marshal Hermann Goering. The paratrooper battalion was transferred щ.. lā According to later historical books: No one knows where they were transferred. And with the death of "Your Excellency Brother-in-law", this secret was brought into the coffin.

Historians speculate that the men may have been taken to some isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean for a month of special training. Although many people questioned the surviving first members, none of them gave an answer, and all they gave to the questioners was a charming smile. And many unimportant questioners later because of car accidents or other natural disasters... Woe to death, so that few people ask about this army again.

In fact, it is an armored grenadier brigade, but in general, the equipment of Marshal Goering's brigade is more than double that of the regular Wehrmacht's active armored divisions (the first to seventh armored divisions, of which the latter divisions are just upgraded from light divisions).

The island of Malta is located in the Atlantic Ocean. Central, to be precise, is an island made up of two small islands, because it has a naval base. so this is very important for the Axis shipping lines. At the same time, it was also an important node for the British to increase their troops in North Africa through Gibraltar, where many transport ships were restocked.

More importantly, many submarines of the British Mediterranean Fleet were deployed here, and they waited for an opportunity to attack the Axis transport fleet within a radius of Malta, which brought huge casualties to the Axis transport fleet, which was also one of the important reasons for Lao Long's defeat in North Africa.

Now Ji Feng's strategy is to take the island of Malta first and base it on the island of Malta... , bombing the British fleet sailing in the Mediterranean. If necessary, air force fighters can be mobilized to launch a large-scale campaign, which is what Daxi personally affirmed.

Ji Feng and Rommel walked down the gangway, and the paratrooper general Stepnt, who had been waiting here for a long time, came up to greet them. Although Ji Feng didn't have any special achievements, this little guy found an opportunity to show his presence from Daxi. Now the planes of the Airborne Forces have stopped being replenished, and even Aunt Juncker has no engines to use, which is very much to the displeasure of Student.

In this case, Aunt Juncker had to dismantle the engine and fly with two engines, which was already a slower flight. [In fact, as long as the runway is long enough, even if there is only one engine aunt, you can fly, but the engine torque will teach the pilot to be a man]

Aunt Junkers, like the Dakota, was a very successful airliner, and there are still a small number of turboprop engines that have been modified to fly short-haul routes, but who would know that Aunt Juncker's engine was actually a wasp engine technology that BMW got from Pratt & Whitney before the war.

Now that BMW is going all out to produce the BM801 engine, where is the time and production line to produce the BM132 engine with only a few hundred horsepower? As a result, Auntie's engine has no supporting production line, and only one less can be used.

Therefore, Liu Fei asked the Future Industry Group to develop an enlarged version of the Ju-52, equipped with three BM132D-1 engines, and a heavy transport aircraft with more powerful firepower and more powerful performance. If nothing else, the Me-323 will not need to appear, because the C1 is simple to produce and the technology is mature, and the engine will not stall due to large overload maneuvers. According to Liu Fei's idea, if the next step is to produce transport aircraft, it should directly produce turbojet or turbofan transport aircraft. No matter how bad it is, it has to be a turboprop transport aircraft.

This is because there is a shortage in Germany, and aviation kerosene can just alleviate part of the diesel shortage crisis, so that the German army can use more diesel engines and reduce the number of lighters.

Liu Fei highly praised the revolution of the hard training of Student and the paratroopers under Student. Optimistic Lord.. The spirit of righteousness, and brought them from the Yuan... The most friendly care of the first. In the end, Liu Fei encouraged his morale and began to form a paratrooper friendship in the army, so as to improve his relationship with the grassroots fighters in the army. At the same time, establishing a pro-people image will help Liu Fei expand his influence in the army, and Liu Fei plans to build his brother-in-law Ge Zong into a new generation of German military gods, and then become a small military god himself.

After a polite visit, the paratroopers boarded Aunt Juncker, who would be on her last parachute mission. These Junkers aunts will be sent to Lufthansa to perform the Emperor's Duties after completing this mission. The domestic air transport mission is no longer a demanding military aviation mission. The production line and technical license for the BM132 engine was purchased by Future Industries Group, which will produce the newly improved BM132D-1 engine with an output of 1,200 hp in small batches.

Compared with other people, Liu Fei can better see that this kind of sturdy transport aircraft is in the future sales market, so he is more willing to spend money on this kind of aircraft. The C1 and its successors were mostly put into service with German airlines after retirement, and it was not until the middle of the 21st century that they were replaced by more robust and fuel-efficient small commuter aircraft equipped with the latest turboprop engines.

……

All over 700 Ju-52s were brought in to paratroopers, and some F-1As were sent on the task of towing gliders, which were simply to take Malta Island away.

What the paratroopers didn't expect was that before they landed, there was chaos on the island of Malta. B-1A bombers bombed the area without any dead ends, destroying most of the open-air anti-aircraft positions they were working on. That's why the paratroopers did not have as many casualties as Crete when they landed in the air.

……

Immediately after landing on the ground, Hank unfastened his parachute, pulled out his pistol and began to search for the location of the weapon case. Because the production capacity can't keep up now, the most advanced parachutes are only equipped with the Marshal Panzergrenadier Brigade, and the 7th Parachute Division is only equipped with old-fashioned parachutes, which cannot parachute weapons together to the ground, so Hank must immediately go and find his own weapons.

Hank carries a pistol, a saber, four grenades, and more weapons than large strips of steel that can be found anywhere.

The British soldiers were apparently stunned by the barrage of punches, and there was no patrol sent by the commander to carry out targeted killings of the enemy's freshly landed paratrooper gliders. Later, Liu Fei learned that it was not because the British commander was too merciful, but that during the first air raid, the commander was bombed by a 1,600-kilogram bomb. The bomb exploded into.. Scum.
