Chapter 440: The Brave Are Invincible

When the east showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, the huge fortress had already appeared in front of Rose's eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Their actions, the timing is just right! The sky is bright, you can find your target visually, and your opponent is not yet defenseless!

Moreover, although Ross's glider took off twice, the second time was towed by Stuka bombers, and they flew at a higher altitude and took less time to float over.

So, this plane was the first to fly first.

Of course, it's about the front and rear feet, and the other gliders are almost right behind them.

When taking off, they need to rely on the wheels, and when they start to get out of the plane, the wheels are thrown away.

This wheel will add additional drag, causing the flight speed to decay too quickly, and at the same time, they will not be able to rely on the wheel to land.

The wheels need a runway, and it needs to be long enough, the target is not so wide at all, so they can only use unconventional landing!

"Attention, it's time to land." The glider had no power, no sound, and Rose's voice reached everyone's ears.

From here, the top of the fortress is clearly visible, with an area of 900 meters long and 700 meters wide, and the terrain is open and flat, at this time, it is overgrown with weeds.

900 meters is simply not enough if there were wheels, and now, with the DFS 230 glider thrown away from the wheels, under the belly is a sturdy heavy-duty sled, so to speak, this landing was a complete hard-hitting landing.

In order to further reduce drag, a large amount of wire is wound around the skid, which is a temporary addition before takeoff.

When landing, the impact force was very strong, and after being reminded by Ross, everyone in the cabin grabbed the grip around them. They were waiting for the final landing.

The height was a bit high, and in order to be able to land, Ross had to push the lever down, and instead dive, making a quick dive at a steep angle! This makes it possible to land and stop in a short distance.

That platform, getting bigger and bigger, at this time, Ross was engrossed, and if he could not land on it, the glider without power would not be able to go back to fly and land again.

Be accurate!

As a good glider pilot, Ross was quite sure that in training he was able to land within 20 meters of space around the center of the target circle, which was quite accurate.

This time, of course, is no exception!

Keep sliding!

The platform was getting bigger and bigger, and Rose could already see the grass fluttering in the wind at the top, and then he felt a huge impact coming.

The sled has already come into close contact with the platform at the top of the fortress!

Hard-hitting landing! The glider, with its sturdy steel tubular body, withstood the impact of the collision, and the sled below, at the top of the platform, made two marks, and the grass below was shattered.

The glider continued to glide forward, slower and slower, and finally, stopped!

A successful landing! Ross parked the glider at the top of the platform, and the error was almost two meters!

"Quick, quick, quick!" Lieutenant Wichge shouted loudly, and he looked at his subordinates, armed with assault rifles, rushing out of the opening on the side of the glider.

A few years ago, at the military parade in Moscow, the Soviet Union's airborne troops fell from the sky, which brought great shock to the military commanders of other countries, and various countries began to establish airborne troops.

Germany, however, is thinking.

After several exercises, the German military concluded that landing with a light assault glider had a greater advantage than parachuting with a parachute when raiding a small-range tactical target.

Because the parachute landing is too slow, it takes a long time for the paratroopers to slowly fall from the air to the ground, and they are in a passive state of being beaten, which is easy to cause casualties.

Even if it lands safely, it will be difficult to quickly assemble and form combat effectiveness because of the scattered landing sites. In addition, the paratroopers also had to remove their parachutes and find weapons and equipment to be dropped separately, which took a considerable amount of time, and it was easy to delay the fighters, which greatly reduced the effect of the surprise attack.

The Airborne Forces, which seem to have fallen from the sky, are quite imposing, but in fact their combat effectiveness is not high.

However, the situation is completely different when using gliders.

The biggest problem with parachuting is that it is too scattered, while gliders, on the other hand, can be precisely positioned, and they can easily land near the target.

Another advantage is that as soon as they land, the heavily armed airborne troops can immediately jump out of the glider and go into battle. Moreover, they are inside the glider and can carry more weapons than parachutes!

In the case of parachuting, the transport plane has to fly over the target, and there is a loud noise, while the glider does not have the noise generated by the engine, and if it attacks at night, it can quietly reach the target area without the enemy's knowledge, so as to achieve a near-perfect surprise effect.

In this era, other countries did not pay attention to the glider, but the German airborne troops used it to create a miracle!

When the eastern sky was just shining, the German assault detachment, which had come to the top of the most important fortress of Eben-Emar, rushed out, and in front of them, a Belgian sentry, with wide eyes and open mouth, stared blankly at the Germans who had descended from the sky.

He was already stunned, and at this moment, his surprise occupied his mind, and he did not expect that the Germans would be able to come on these iron birds, which was simply a dream.

So much so that he did not even think to raise the alarm, and the German commandos, rushed down from the glider.

"Da-da-da-da." The assault rifle in the hands of the German soldier, a short shot, a 6.8 mm bullet, swept him down, and when his body fell back, he suddenly realized that the war had begun.

Behind, one glider after another, with quite thrilling movements, descended from the sky, collided with the platform, accelerated, stopped, and when it just stopped, the German soldiers above rushed out.

"No!" A German soldier shouted that he saw a glider that was descending later, and under the influence of a crosswind, it was actually about to slip off the side of the platform!

At this time, the pilot pressed the lever hard, and in a violent collision, the glider landed, continued to glide towards the edge of the platform, and the front end, which was already suspended from the upper part of the platform, fortunately, stopped.

The soldiers inside, running out quickly, they didn't care about just walking on the edge of death, they only remembered their mission!
