Chapter 270: Bloodless Blades
As soon as the first group flew into Danish airspace, it began to report that if Denmark discovered these invading German planes, it was likely to attack them with anti-aircraft guns on a large scale, and the planes would be jolted in the explosion of anti-aircraft shells, and if the occupants in the cabin did not fix their bodies, they were likely to be injured.
If a transport plane is unfortunately hit by an anti-aircraft gun, the German paratroopers inside will only be killed by the earth-flying plane, and if the volley explodes, it will disappear in an instant, if the transport plane is broken wings, the transport plane will be planted directly to the ground, and the paratroopers in the plane will fall into a pile in front of the fuselage, in this case there is no way to parachute, only when the plane can still glide, it is possible to jump out of the cabin, it seems that the paratroopers are also an extremely dangerous branch of the army.
Very fortunate that the Danish side did not fire a cannon at the transport plane in the air, Rolls secretly congratulated themselves on their luck in the plane, they did not know the real situation of the Danish army, the whole Denmark only had two infantry divisions of 30,000 people, and the capital Copenhagen alone used 15,000 people, except for the personnel at those border checkpoints, it can be said that the anti-aircraft guns of the entire country of Denmark will not exceed one battalion, and the German planes can basically fly over Denmark, and there is no need to worry too much about the Danish anti-aircraft guns.
At 6:30 a.m., the morning glow had already appeared in the east, and countless golden lights pierced the clouds on the edge of the sky, and it seemed that it was another day with good weather.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
Rouse's fleet flew over the Aalborg military airfield, and the voice of the commander of the fleet was heard from the cabin:
"Warriors, we're flying over our target. Now start preparing for your skydive, 1, 2, 3...... 9. All begin to parachute, bless you, warriors of Germany, the Führer awaits the news of your victory. ”
"Toot toot toot...... Toot Toot ......"
The airborne lights in the cabin of the plane in which Rouse was flying began to flicker and a pleasant beep sound, and Rouse, like the rest of the soldiers, checked his equipment once again to see if anything was missing.
Li Mo's requirements for these paratroopers are very special, requiring all paratroopers to carry the necessary paratroopers. Of course, this requirement was not a big deal for the German paratroopers. Rolls: They also trained. Under normal circumstances, paratroopers are paratroopers parachuted separately from people and weapons, and after the paratroopers land, they go to find their own weapon airborne capsule, and then take the weapons before assembling.
Airborne in the wilderness. It's fitting to do that. Airborne paratroopers also have less chance of being injured. But this time it was airborne to the enemy's airfield, and there was no time to find the airborne weapons bay, and there was not much time to assemble. Basically, as soon as it landed, it began to attack the nearest target. In this way, the airport can be taken in the shortest time, with the most sudden and fierce attack, and with the least casualties.
This airborne landing at the enemy's airfield obviously cannot be separated from the weapons and the people must be airborne together with the weapons in order to launch a surprise attack in the most effective way, and the few minutes after the airborne landing are extremely crucial, and not a minute can be delayed.
"Bump"
A pilot opened the door of the plane, and a cold wind poured into the cabin, and the cold wind raged in the cabin, but all the paratroopers did not have any fearful eyes, but were a little excited, these paratroopers were the first to participate in the actual battle.
"Start skydiving, quick, fast."
"Flutter...... Flutter ......"
Rouse jumped out of the cabin for the third time, countless parachutes bloomed gorgeously in the air, and slowly landed to the ground, the paratroopers at this time were very vulnerable, and any gun could attack the paratroopers who were landing, just like a hunter hitting birds in the air, not to mention these "birdmen" in the air.
Most of the Danish soldiers at the Aalborg military airfield were still asleep, and there were only a few sentries on duty, who did not sound the alarm or shoot at the air, but only looked at the countless German paratroopers who landed one after another in amazement, dementedly, and like a fool. Those Danish sentinels, who just watched the German paratroopers land, without reacting, were completely stunned.
As soon as Rouse landed, he beckoned to his companions not far away:
"Quick, assemble quickly, attack nearby."
There were about twenty or thirty German paratroopers who landed around Rouse, and at this time, it didn't matter whether it was a crew or not, whoever had a high rank would obey whomever commanded, and Rouse's rank of lieutenant colonel was undoubtedly the highest. Seeing that there were about twenty or thirty people gathered around him, and that he was ready to attack, Rouse did not hesitate, and shouted behind him:
"Go, follow me, let's attack the tower."
And the sentry of the Danish tower just watched as Rouse rushed to his side, and several black holes aimed at his head, and the sentry of the tower woke up like a dream, this is a war, this is not a drill, in this case, he had to raise his hand obediently.
The German lightning raid was very successful, and it can be said that it captured the Aalborg military airfield without firing a single shot, and the Danish defenders, who were sleeping soundly, were all captured in the bed. It is not that the German army was so elite that the Danish defenders did not dare to shoot, but that the Danish army could not have imagined that Germany would start a war so suddenly, and there was no notice from above, even if someone watched the German paratroopers land, they did not dare to shoot and kill people rashly under the circumstances of this unknown situation.
What if it's a drill? Isn't the man who fired the shot going to be court-martialed? Those Danish soldiers were not sure that this was the time of war, and they still would not shoot indiscriminately, and when they were still entangled and confused, the muzzles of the German paratroopers were already aimed at his head.
The 1st Parachute Regiment of Rouss occupied the military airfield in Aalborg without blood, not a single shot was fired, not a single person was killed, only during the airborne landing a few paratroopers hung on the branches of trees and were slightly wounded.
The German lightning attack was so sudden that not only the Danish soldiers did not react, but even the Danish top brass did not react to it.
Li Mo still continued to drink tea leisurely, when the hands of the clock just pointed to 7, two telegrams arrived in Li Mo's hands, Li Mo quickly read the two telegrams, the content on which was very simple:
"The 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Paratroopers, completely occupied the Aalborg military airfield, the airfield facilities are intact."
"The 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Paratroopers, completely occupied the Aalborg civilian airfield, the airfield facilities are intact."
"Well, my corps commander, I don't need to make a comparison, I will tell you good news, our bridgehead airfield has been successfully taken, the airfield is intact, and General Kesselring can be notified immediately to airlift the second batch of ground troops."
As soon as Rommel heard Li Mo say this, he hurriedly put down the command pole in his hand, walked quickly in front of Li Mo, and took the two telegrams that had just been released from Li Mo's hands.
