Eddie, as the head of the direct flight group, of course, personally led the team:
"Heading 0-3-2, altitude six thousand."
In order to ensure the safety of the transport aircraft, Ike decided to raise the altitude to six thousand, which was already outside the range of medium anti-aircraft weapons.
The entire helicopter group, under the command of Ike, slowly climbed to the designated altitude and flew in formation towards the fortress of Gibraltar.
Ten minutes later, the helicopter fleet reached the sky over the fortress of Gibraltar, and Eddie began to give orders:
"Brothers, get to work, all the helicopters look for a fortress cannon top platform to land, remember to land vertically in case those fortress guns come at your helicopter."
"Understood"
The caliber of the fort arranged by the British on the fortress of Gibraltar was large, and the protective shed at the top was also strong and wide. This happens to be the ideal platform for a helicopter to land.
The British troops operating the fortress guns heard the roar of the helicopters and ran out of the protective shelter to check the situation, and the 12.7mm machine guns installed on both sides of the FA223 would not be polite to these British troops.
......The rain of bullets hit the strange British soldiers, and the British artillerymen who saw the strange ones were killed and wounded in large numbers, and the British soldiers who were not dead fled back to the protective shed in a panic, and then reported to their superiors the strange flying machines they saw that could take off and land vertically.
The fortified artillerymen also had only a little time to report to their superiors, as the helicopters soon began to roar and begin to descend on the huge protective shelter.
As soon as the German devils came from the helicopter, they threw a few tear gas canisters at the door of the protective shed.
Tear gas was not a lethal weapon, but it was not pleasant for the artillerymen who did not have gas masks, and the British artillerymen, hiding in the protective shelters, began to cough violently.
Several Germans continued to hold on to the roof, while the rest slid down the roof, while the Germans began shouting into the coughing shelter:
"Shoot but don't kill"
"We are the 7th Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht, and we treat prisoners preferentially."
Artillery is generally not equipped with light weapons, and even if these fortress artillery have light weapons, only officers have a pistol for self-defense.
The British soldiers are not stupid, it is obviously a matter of sending them to death, they will not do it, surrender is their only option, and of course there are one or two fortress guns that come from the sound of resistance gunfire.
For the stubborn enemy, the Germans threw a dozen grenades into it, and then everything was calm.
The fortress guns placed by the British on the top of the hill are simply vulnerable to new weapons and new tactics, which is no different from a cannon fighting mosquitoes.
With the advancement of science and technology and the progress of the times, Britain never dreamed that there would be planes that could take off and land vertically, and that they could also transport troops.
The captured prisoners were immediately returned by helicopter to the garrison of the 7th Panzer Division, and the first Germans to arrive defended the occupied fortified guns on the spot, which were intact and could be of great use in the future for the blockade of the Strait of Gibraltar, so they were to be protected.
More than ten minutes later, the second group of Germans used the same method to capture a fortress artillery group, a total of three artillery groups on the hill of Gibraltar, and the Germans took two of them with lightning speed.
When Ike was about to take the third fortress gun group, the British suddenly blew up the third fortress gun group with his own hands, and it seems that the British commander of the Gibraltar fortress is not stupid, he knows that these fortress guns cannot be left to the Germans.
The British troops of the third fortress artillery group, after completing the order to destroy the artillery, fled along the ammunition delivery slide on the anti-slope. (This slide, like a small railroad, was used to transport shells for the fortress guns.) )
Helicopters continued to transport troops to the hills of Gibraltar, and Rommel had to transport a regiment of troops to the top of the hill in Gibraltar in order to prevent the British from coming out of the unexpected, and then transport gasoline to burn the British troops inside the fort.
While Eddie was waiting for the follow-up troops, he immediately organized his soldiers and used explosives to widen the vents, which was a piece of cake for the German army.
By 5 p.m., the task of transporting an infantry regiment was complete, and the transport of petrol to the hills of Gibraltar began, with all the helicopters loaded with petrol drums of fifty kilograms each, so as to facilitate the transport.
……
Charles, the commander of the British fortress of Gibraltar, has been in a state of panic since the total destruction of the Mediterranean Fleet. Charles himself is a nobleman, and he also has the title of knight, but this person's ability is not ours.
Charles didn't know what to do in this situation, and when he learned that the Germans were transporting soldiers to the top of Gibraltar with a vertical take-off and landing aircraft, Charles had no choice.
Fortunately, his chief of staff was quite conscious, and his chief of staff immediately ordered to blow up the third fortress gun, which was not lost, otherwise the three fortress gun groups would have fallen intact into the hands of the Germans.
Charles's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot swirling in the command room, where the reinforced concrete shivered from time to time, and then the dust fell.
Charles panicked and asked his chief of staff:
"What are those Germans doing? Do they want to use explosives to blow up the rocks above us little by little? How this is good. ”
Charles's chief of staff couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly explained:
"Commander, don't panic, the mountain rock above our heads is more than 100 meters thick, if those Germans want to use explosives to blow up such a thick mountain rock little by little, they don't know that they will go to the Year of the Monkey.
Besides, Prime Minister Churchill has already mobilized his home fleet to support, we only need to hold out for a week, but this time Prime Minister Churchill has transferred six aircraft carriers (four of which are converted from merchant ships), and the remnants of the German Fourth Air Division must not be the opponent of our home fleet.
Even if the Germans blow up the rocks above our heads, there are several floors up and down the fortress of Gibraltar, and all kinds of passages are like a labyrinth, we are not afraid of fighting a tunnel battle with the 7th Panzer Division, the German 7th Panzer Division is powerful in the field, and in this tunnel, I think we will definitely teach them a heavy lesson.
So please put your heart 10,000 at heart, I'm sure the Germans will not be able to break through the fortress of Gibraltar. ”
Charles was still circling around the command room, but the news undoubtedly stabilized his mind a little, and his mouth said again and again:
"Okay, that's it."
The British troops in the fortress of Gibraltar are still full of confidence in the solidity and perfect defense of their fortress, which is the confidence of their perseverance and their reliance.
What the truth was, Rommel quickly let them know that the pot ears were cast in iron
