Chapter 746: Joint US-Canada Special Task Force 1 Takes Off (Page 1/1)

At this time, the 1st US-Canada Joint Special Service Team was also starting to wear, preparing to take transport planes and gliders into airborne combat.

Each airborne soldier carefully checked the ammunition assembly of the submachine gun and the M1 Garand rifle.

And each of them was given 160 rounds of rifle ammunition, as well as two grenades, two white phosphorus grenades and one smoke grenade.

And the grenades assigned to these soldiers of the 1st US-Canada Joint Task Force are also two-pound explosives that can blow up tanks.

However, because the paratroopers have to face the biggest crisis, that is, during the airborne process, the two will be killed by the enemy's air defense weapons and equipment, and anti-aircraft guns at any time, or blown up.

Either they landed and retained enemy prisoners, so the British and American paratroopers were equipped with a dagger and a bayonet.

In addition to this, each person was equipped with a 10-pound anti-tank mine of the Mark 3 type.

In the case of machine gunners, they will also disassemble the weapons they are wearing and the excess ammunition, such as mortars, anti-tank rocket launchers, and radios, and other weapons and equipment will be put into the A-5 equipment pack two.

In addition to weapons and equipment, paratroopers will also carry field rations for several days in case of lack of food.

Of course, some paratroopers also carry some cigarettes, gas masks, and beer.

Bandages, sulfonamide tablets, morphine, syringes, water and first aid equipment are also mandatory.

So these British and American paratroopers had to wear a lot of things, plus the main parachute and the spare parachute, the weight of the equipment they had to carry was more than 300 pounds.

This is not something that ordinary people can carry, it is the training of paratroopers who have undergone rigorous training to be able to carry the weight after parachuting.

Otherwise, ordinary people will be thrown to the ground to death, and they will die quickly and miserably.

When the British and American paratroopers were ready, their commanders split up and their commanders lectured and awaited the final take-off orders.

"Listen, everyone! Our joint US-Canadian 1st Special Service Team is the most powerful special forces in the world, we are about to go to Italy to carry out an airborne attack, we are going to annihilate all those damn fascist German troops, and fight to the end for the liberation of Europe! ”

"We will hit the land occupied by Hitler with our daggers or bullets and liberate the suffering people there!"

Lieutenant Colonel Moore greeted the paratroopers in front of him with a pre-battle encouragement.

Because of his excellent oratorical skills, all the paratroopers under his command were full of excitement and enthusiasm, and they held high the daggers in their hands, or other weapons and equipment, and their voices were still loud and loud, which made people's hearts shake and full of fighting spirit.

Then all the regimental commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders, and platoon commanders gathered together to follow the orders announced by Lieutenant Colonel Moore.

That is, they use the password to contact them after they are airborne, so that the Germans will not be infiltrated by the Germans impersonating their personnel, or they will be killed by surprise.

When all of this was ready, all of the U.S.-Canada Joint Task Force 1 began to enter the B-52 long-range transport planes or gliders for departure.

But because their equipment is too heavy, they still need the help of other personnel to help them enter the cabin.

And while they entered, Eisenhower personally came to see them off.

At this moment, Eisenhower was very nervous, not only smoked a lot of cigarettes, but also held his lucky gold coin tightly, praying for God's blessing.

"Good luck to you!"

"God is with you, and the victory will be yours!"

At the same time, Eisenhower still tried his best to bless and encourage every member of the joint US-Canada Special Service No. 1 who entered the B-52 long-range transport plane.

In this regard, many members of the US-Canada Joint No. 1 Special Service Team were very moved and bid farewell to Eisenhower's respectful military salute. It's in hand, please wait a while, after the content is updated, you need to refresh the page again to get the latest update!
