1191 skydiving
The glider was found by the paratroopers who landed together, who then took out the car inside as a means of transport and the weapons inside as heavy fire support.
Lyman sat in his place, very experienced in fastening the rifle to his chest, rather than strapped it to the leftover duffel bag under his legs.
Because paratroopers are more equipped with weapons than other combat units, as a battalion commander of a paratrooper battalion, Lyman is also armed with advanced weapons such as assault rifles.
This is much better than the army infantry, where the commander of the infantry battalion is generally armed only with submachine guns - after all, the army is not afraid of a supplementary model of weapons and ammunition.
But the paratroopers don't mind - they strictly control the types of weapons and ammunition replenishment, so they have only three models of armament.
The G43 semi-automatic rifle uses the same ammunition as the MG-42 machine gun, with one type of ammunition for the STG-44 assault rifle and one type of ammunition for the pistol.
He sorted out the magazine and grenade on his chest, confirmed the position of the pistol, then drew his bayonet and examined it carefully, and fixed it back to his shoulder.
The paratroopers' bayonets are specially designed and modified, which are short, very sharp, and used to cut the parachute lines of parachutes.
Because of the expansion, there are only about 30 percent of the veterans in the paratrooper battalion he commands, and the remaining 70 percent are recruits who have only practiced parachuting and combat training, but have not participated in real combat.
This is also the best configuration that can be put together now, after all, the German paratroopers lost a large number of soldiers in the battle for Crete and the battle for Malta.
Now it can be expanded to this extent, which is already the result of the attention of the Führer, the support of Reich Marshal Goering, and the outstanding ability of General Student.
Through the square windows on either side of the plane, Lyman could even clearly see another plane flying next to them.
The fuselage portholes of the JU-52 Junkers are very special in that they are rectangular in design, which is somewhat different from the round designs of other countries.
Looking at Aunt Junker in the sky one after another in a queue, with faint white clouds wrapped around the wings, everyone knew that this time the actual combat exercise had begun.
"Any idea where we fly? In the training a few days ago, we calculated the voyage, probably outside Brest! A platoon commander who was on the plane sat next to Lyman and shouted loudly.
The sound insulation of the aircraft of this era was not very good, especially the cheap JU-52 transport aircraft used by this paratrooper and produced after a lot of simplification.
In such a cabin, if you don't shout loudly, you can't hear what you say clearly, so everyone is used to talking at the top of their voices.
"I don't know! This time it's a real combat simulation! In order to simulate the actual combat effect, I stipulate that I can only tear open the map book after I land! Lyman replied loudly.
In order to test the adaptability of the paratroopers and at the same time camouflage the effect of "local artillery interference from ground fire", there are many special requirements for this paratrooper actual combat exercise.
However, Lyman still emphasized the future battle plan plan: "After landing, if you can't find me, deploy a defensive position in the same place now!" I'll find you as soon as I can, and until then, you'll have to gather as many forces as you can. ”
"I see! If there is a village nearby! Let's take it there first! The platoon commander nodded and spoke loudly.
The atmosphere in the plane was tense, because this time, it was the largest paratrooper airborne operation in Germany at the moment - several times the scale of the airborne operation in Crete!
"Don't worry, this time there is no ground anti-aircraft artillery! It's just going to be chaotic! The planes will not leave us in a mess and there will be no real enemy chasing us!! Seeing the nervous appearance of his men, Lyman shouted with laughter.
As time passed, the green light of the parachute jump on the plane finally turned on, and the paratrooper platoon commander sitting next to the plane door also opened the door on the side of the plane.
The cold wind immediately poured into the plane, and everyone's eyes narrowed involuntarily. In the distance, friendly planes dragging gliders can be seen, and there are already many white flowers blooming with parachutes under their feet.
"Enter the airspace of the exercise area! Gentlemen, pay attention to your seatbelts. The co-pilot of the plane turned around and loudly reminded the paratroopers behind him through the open back door: "Good luck!" Heard that our ground-based air defense forces are attacking us. ”
"Do you hear that? Check everything you have! I need you to keep your parachute line firmly attached to the plane! Start skydiving! See you on the ground......" The paratrooper platoon commander loudly emphasized the precautions in front of Lehmann.
Although it was not the first time for everyone to parachute in, it was inevitable that everyone would be a little nervous about such a large-scale airborne exercise.
And even if they simulated the actual situation of airborne operations as much as possible, Lyman still reluctantly found that their airborne environment was much better than that of actual combat.
At least there won't be real artillery fire on the ground, and planes won't be shuttling and bumping through the fire. All in all, the current environment can really be regarded as a paradise compared to actual combat.
The rest depends on how chaotic they will be after landing on the ground, and how many people will be punished by the referee who will follow the parachute jump down the drill to "die and go out".
White flowers that bloom with less parachutes.
