Chapter 194: Armored Paratrooper Division (3)
"Open the tail hatch and prepare to drop the tank, 1, 2, 3 put ...... Bang dang...... Hurry, the supplies are dropped, the personnel start parachuting, hurry. ”
Milu commanded the people in his B-29 plane to airdrop the No. 3 tank first, and then the supplies, everyone has trained more than ten times, although nervous, but not panicked, everything is carried out in an orderly manner, and after the tank and supplies are airdropped, it is the personnel who parachuted, and Milu was the first to jump out of the cabin.
As soon as Milu jumped out of the cabin, the sky was already covered with white parachutes, Milou and their group were not the earliest to parachute, Milu hurriedly controlled the direction of the parachute with his hands, in fact, this control is complex and simple, it is very difficult to fall on a one-meter square position, if you want to land in a large circle with a diameter of two hundred meters, it is still very easy.
Milou looked at the direction in which his tank landed, and each tank's huge parachute had a huge red number on it, so that all paratroopers could clearly see it, so that everyone could control their parachute to land in the direction of the tank.
Countless parachutes bloomed in the air, fluttering in the air one after another, the ground was still relatively flat, Milu landed safely after a few minutes, and there were no bullets on the ground to shoot in the air, it seems that there is indeed no ambush of the British ** team here, Milu needs about fifteen minutes, you can gather at least fifty fully equipped No. 3 tanks, just these fifty tanks, can provide enough protection for the subsequent parachute, even if there is a large British army to encircle and suppress Milu, Namilu also had the confidence to defeat them.
"Puff ......"
Milou's feet touched the ground, inertia made Milou run forward a few steps forward, before stabilizing his body, at this time there was no time to pack up the parachute, Milou hurriedly unbuttoned the parachute iron button on his body, and then quickly ran towards his S001 No. 3 tank, the number of this SS paratrooper tank is different from the number of other SS panzer divisions, the paratrooper tank has an S in front of it, and it is a three-digit number, while the tank number of other SS panzer divisions is four numbers, and there are no letters.
Tank No. 3 is a very mature tank in Germany, and now after Zhang Jun's strong request, all No. 3 tanks have been replaced with long 75 mm tank guns, after many experiments, No. 3 tank can fully withstand the recoil of long 75 guns, such as a truck with a load of 12 tons, after full load, it is impossible to displace the truck with a 75-bubble recoil, as for the space in the No. 3 tank, don't worry, Tank No. 3 is 5.56 meters long, 2.95 meters wide and 2.5 meters high, and has no problem carrying 60 shells and several thousand rounds.
Milou quickly ran to the side of the tank, and then took a vertical step, waited to board the tank, pressed and then smartly got into the tank, put his hand on the handle of the machine gun, this machine gun bullet was not airdropped separately from the tank, but airdropped with the tank, and soon the other soldiers carried, or ran to the side of the No. 3 tank with various supplies, several tank crews also climbed into the tank in turn, and the SS paratroopers who parachuted with Milu and them quickly handed shells to the tank outside the tank, There are also tanks to refuel, and everything is being prepared at a rapid pace.
In fact, as long as Zhang Jun did not parachute his paratrooper armored division into Freiberg's trap, Freiberg would have failed the first step, at least Freiberg had lost the strategic initiative, you must know that the British army on Malta Island would not have more than one battalion of tanks, about forty. The model Zhang Jun did not figure it out for the time being, but now all the tanks in Britain can't carry the long 75 mm tank gun, the long 75 mm gun can penetrate 175 mm of vertical armor, and now the British have absolutely no tanks with front armor reaching 120 mm, and the British did not make any good heavy tanks during the entire World War II.
"Quick, hand me the shell, be careful not to touch it, okay, that's all."
"Come on, hurry up."
About thirteen minutes later, Milou's S001 tank was refilled, at which point Milou began to call over the radio:
"I am Colonel Milou, commander of the 1st SS Panzer Paratrooper Division, and I order all the tanks that have been resupplied to go five kilometers to the west, repeating ......"
After Milu gave the order, he asked his driver to start driving the tanks to the west, and after Milu gave the order, more than a dozen tanks started up, following the rear of the S001 and heading out five kilometers to the west to assemble.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Milou stopped five kilometers to the west, and the dozen or so tanks that followed him stopped around Milou very consciously without Milou's orders, forming a straight line, and the muzzles of the guns were all pointing to the west, which happened to be in the direction of the airport on the island of Malta and Valletta.
"S058, report for duty."
"S079, come and report."
……
Soon more than one hundred and twenty No. 3 tanks gathered around Milu, and there were about five hundred infantry, and about twenty minutes had passed, and he could not wait, so Milu hurriedly got out of the tank and shouted loudly to the paratroopers outside:
"All paratroopers were carried outside the tank, immediately attacked, and the command was passed back ......"
"All paratroopers were carried outside the tank, immediately attacked, and the command was passed back ......"
"Knock knock...... "Knock knock...... "It's all the sound of those paratroopers pedaling."
After giving the order, Milu immediately ordered his tank driver to drive, and in an instant Milu's mount roared out, and hundreds of tanks behind Milu also roared to follow, and there were always three or five paratroopers sitting on the tank, and their responsibility was to protect the tank from the enemy's infantry.
"The soldiers and tanks that have not yet been assembled are defending at the airborne landing point, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and then coming to support the attacking tank assault group."
After Milou set off with his tank assault group, he gave an order to the paratroopers and tanks who had not yet assembled to defend on the spot, so that they were not afraid of the British troops on the island coming to attack the parachute landing site, as long as the two subsequent paratrooper divisions arrived, the hope of victory in this battle was great.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
"Report to the regimental commander, a large number of British convoys have been found ahead, and they are coming towards us."
"All the paratroopers got out of the car, and all of them formed a conical shock formation, with me as the cone...... Offensive. ”
Freiberg saw that the German paratroopers did not choose their own trap airborne, and hurriedly sent their own ambush soldiers outside the airport to encircle and suppress those German paratroopers who had not gained a firm foothold, and the ambush soldiers outside Valletta immediately withdrew to Valletta City for defense, it seems that Freiberg intends to fight street battles with the Germans, and he wants to lose before fighting, he can't say that Freiberg's tactics are wrong, but it can only be said that Freiberg's tactical thinking is conservative and cautious in the use of troops. Zhang Jun only has three paratrooper divisions, which is a full pressure, winning is the strategic point of occupying Malta Island, and losing is the annihilation of the paratrooper division, because Zhang Jun does not have any fleet to retreat these paratroopers, so Zhang Jun didn't even think about the retreating Valletta, whether he wants to die or live, there is no three-fight two-win war at all, only the champion can survive in the war, and the runner-up can only be buried.
"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"
Milou's driver put the tank in third gear and increased the throttle, so that the tank has much more power, but the speed is not very fast, which is conducive to maintaining the attack formation, even if the third tank hits those trucks, it can also knock those trucks apart.
"All but aiming...... Get ready...... Put...... Boom ......"
"Boom...... Boom ......"
At least more than 80 tanks have opened fire, and the tanks that have not fired may have been due to the line of sight, or the tanks in front of them have blocked it, and there is no chance to open fire, and these tanks that have not fired will definitely not break away from the formation, and then rush to the front of the attack group to open fire.
Countless shells hit the British truck that was galloping, and was suddenly torn to pieces by the violent explosion, and the people on the truck could live a few, and the one who did not die was also the master who lacked arms and legs, and he was not stunned and cried wolf on the ground, hoping that his companions could help him, but when the truck behind saw that a black German tank rushed towards them, they dared to stay there, and hurriedly reversed and prepared to escape.
A long convoy in the drive, just the emergency stop has caused part of the rear-end accident, the sudden shelling is to make the whole convoy panic, this is all blocked on the road, this is more than 10,000 British troops, said 10,000 people are boundless, see that there can be no escape, began to have British commanders command their soldiers to get out of the car, equipment resistance, some British troops also tried to open the cannon hanging behind the truck, unfortunately, soon the German tanks roared into the British convoy, wantonly fired, and strafing.
"Boom...... Boom...... Da Da ...... Da Da ......"
Countless trucks were hit, set on fire, or reduced to smithereens, and the cannons had no chance to deploy. As for the British infantrymen who got out of the car in a hurry, they only had a rifle in their hands and a few grenades in their waists, and what could be done to the German No. 3 tank in this case, it was completely helpless.
Countless bullets hit the speeding No. 3 tank, only to sputter a few sparks, and in exchange for a clanging sound. And the German tanks returned to those British with artillery shells and MG42 machine gun bullets.
"Flutter...... Flutter ...... Ahh!!hhhhh …… Run!! ”
This kind of can only watch themselves being torn to pieces by German tanks, and then crushed into meat sauce by tanks, a few soldiers do not collapse, one British army escapes, leading ten British troops to escape, even the officers and soldiers cannot stop the collapse of the British army, but the British army can run away with their two legs in the face of German tanks? The answer, of course, is no...... (To be continued.) )
