Chapter 204: Operation Thunder (Part II)
At the airport on the outskirts of Luxon City, a Junker aunt slowly landed on the runway that was still smoking, and Ouyang Yu, who was wearing a military uniform and carrying a Suomi submachine gun, stepped off the plane.
"Your Majesty. The commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Airborne Division, who was in charge of occupying the airport, came over with several officers to salute and said: "Your Majesty, the airport has been occupied, so half of the 300 defenders have been raped and half captured, and our army has suffered less than 50 casualties. ”
"Well done. ”
The key to the success of Operation Thunder lies in whether it can successfully seize the airport and provide a forward base for the follow-up troops, if nothing else, Ouyang Yu does not plan to use any function of the system in this combat operation, and hands it over to the commander of this operation to fight by himself, only if there is an unexpected situation and there is really a danger of defeat, she will open the golden finger, so Ouyang Yu will not participate in this battle but stay at the airport.
At seven o'clock in the morning of June 31, 313 in the imperial calendar, the first and second regiments of the 1st Airborne Division and the 2nd Regiment attacking Luxon City received news that the Grand Duke's Mansion had not yet been captured, and William was nowhere to be found, and the paratroopers were fighting with the Imperial Army in various parts of the city, and there was no hope of victory in a short period of time, hoping to send reinforcements as soon as possible.
The Major General in charge of the command of this operation had a resounding name, George Patton, and of course this General Patton was just the same name as the same General Patton on Earth, and he replied to the 1st and 2nd Airborne Divisions, the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment, and that reinforcements would arrive in an hour, and ordered the two regiments to hold on and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.
At 7:11 a.m., a large number of planes appeared again on the south side of the airport, and the Junkers who had landed earlier had already reloaded their fuel and returned. Imperial warplanes were also cleared from the airfield. Therefore, an empty airport is the most suitable place to land.
Seven twenty o'clock. A huge Me-323 heavy transport plane, under the command of the ground, smoothly landed on the runway, this six-engine heavy transport plane can carry 24 tons of cargo, or 130 heavily armed soldiers to fly a distance of 1,300 kilometers, this transport aircraft not only has amazing transport performance, its own self-defense firepower is also amazing, with seven 13 mm MG131 machine guns and two 20 mm MG151 cannons, in the case of absolute air supremacy and the enemy does not have much anti-air firepower。 The most suitable for a support battle on the ground, the nickname of the Me-323 heavy transport aircraft is the giant.
After more than 130 Me-323 heavy transport planes landed on the ground, the huge nose slowly opened to the sides, and one after another, tank No. 4 with additional armor removed, and sd.kfz.251 half-track light armored vehicles loaded with various weapons drove out of it.
sd.kfz.251 half-track light armored vehicle, is the main light half-track armored vehicle produced by Nazi Germany in World War II, participated in every battle of the German army, excellent performance, Ouyang Yu took the opportunity to find a 251 armored car in the battle against Poland, and lit up the technology tree of the 251 armored car. Used to replace the M3 half-track armored vehicles in service.
Each Me-323 heavy transport aircraft can transport two 251 armored vehicles or one tank four, and one hundred and thirty Me-323 heavy transport aircraft can transport the strength of an entire armored regiment. The armored regiment that was transported belonged to the Air Force, and its number was the First Air Cavalry Division, referred to as the First Air Cavalry Division, and now because there are not many Me-323 heavy transport aircraft, the First Air Cavalry Division has only one regiment, the first regiment.
It took only half an hour for the 1st Air Cavalry Division and 1st Regiment to complete the preparation for the sortie from unloading to completing the sortie, and then under the orders of General Patton, they quickly advanced towards Luxon City, and the 1st Air Cavalry Regiment arrived at Luxon City in less than 20 minutes, and gathered the nearby paratroopers and began to advance towards the city.
The Marquis of Luxon in the Grand Duke's Mansion was like a dog trapped in a cage and walking back and forth restlessly, before betraying Avril, he had already considered various situations, including the attack of Ouyang Yu's army, so he arranged the 80,000 Duchy troops on the border between the Duchy of Lucerne and the Chinese Empire, and built a large number of strong fortresses and in-depth defense belts, and at the same time, behind the 80,000 Duchy troops, there was a second line of defense composed of 50,000 Imperial troops, which also had permanent fortifications and a large number of firepower points, the Marquis of Lusen was confident that with this 130,000 army, he could completely resist the attack of the Federal Army, and when the time came, as long as the Federal Army was hit on the head and bled out, he had to acquiesce in the fact that the Duchy of Lucerne was incorporated into the Phoenix Empire, and he had no way to grit his teeth, and even curry favor with him for the sake of his back garden not being threatened by the Imperial Army, and the Marquis of Lucerne had even planned what conditions should be put forward when negotiating with the Federation.
However, the reality is ruthless and cruel, just when the Marquis of Lucerne was dreaming, the sudden large-scale airborne operation of the Federal Army slapped him in the mouth, making all his plans into jokes and bubbles, listening to the gunfire and cannons that were getting closer and closer to the Grand Duke's Palace, the Marquis of Lucon felt that he was getting closer and closer to the end, and he walked around the government hall with his hands behind his back, and his henchmen also looked at him with trepidation and their hearts beating their own little ninety-nine.
Avril was also sitting on the throne of the Grand Duke in the government hall, she was controlled by the Marquis of Lucerne at the beginning of the airborne battle of the Federation Army to prevent her from escaping while she was in chaos, Avril looked at the Marquis of Lucerne's irritable appearance and felt very relieved, and she tried to keep silent now when the victory was coming, so as not to let the Marquis Lucerne vent his anger on herself.
"Boom......!"
A huge explosion sounded in the Grand Duke's Mansion, and the vibration of the explosion caused a lot of dust to fall from the ceiling of the council hall, and everyone was startled, and the Marquis of Lucerne hurriedly said: "Who is going to see what happened!"
After a while, a soldier ran back in embarrassment and reported: "Hit ...... Hit in, the tanks of the Union Army came in!"
"Dadada...... Rumble...... Boom......!"
The fierce gunfire and shouting of killing have appeared around the government hall, and the soldiers who were defending outside could not resist running into the hall, and the henchmen of the Marquis of Lucerne were already frightened and fled in all directions, and the Marquis of Lusen sat on the ground, his face turned extremely pale.
"Don't move, drop your weapon and put your hand where I can see it!"
A squad of paratroopers rushed into the government hall, and the guards hurriedly dropped their weapons and fell to their knees before being tied up by the paratroopers.
"Yo, there's a big fish here, platoon leader, come here!"
The paratrooper platoon commander said impatiently: "Go, go, Lao Tzu is not free, hurry up and tie it up and send it to the headquarters." ”
The paratrooper platoon commander walked up to Avril and saluted, "Your Royal Highness Your Honorable Grand Duke Avril, I am waiting to meet you by order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Federal Republic of China, you are safe." (To be continued.) )
