Chapter 174: Airborne Assault

ps: Monthly tickets, brothers are very helpful. Luoye is very grateful to brothers for their monthly support. Your support is the motivation for Luoye to write. I will continue to spend my monthly tickets.

The paratroopers and aviation forces are commanded by Kesselring. The airdrops are supported by 900 transport aircraft commanded by Lieutenant General Gabrenz of the 5th Aviation Division and 250 B-29s personally commanded by Kesselring. The B-29s can be used for bombing and airborne operations.

, this was arranged by Kesselring himself. Most of the 5th Air Force are Junkers-52 transport aircraft, and there are also a small number of Junkers-90 and Fokker-200 large transport aircraft. These aircraft are responsible for transporting airborne troops. Schiff in northern Germany

Tad, Schleswig and Eutessen airports are airborne departure airports.

On November 9, 1939, between 5 and 30 in the morning, there was only a ray of light in the sky below the horizon, which reflected the early morning sky into fish-belly white clouds, with egg yolk rings on the edges.

At the General Headquarters of the Wessel exercise, Zhang Jun was leisurely drinking Longjing tea while looking at the huge battle map. The battle plan was issued and how to implement it. Zhang Jun did not intend to intervene, but when unexpected situations occurred in the battle situation

, Zhang Jun needs to deal with it urgently. As for coordinating ammunition and fuel, these are completely the tasks of the combat staff. At this time, Zhang Jun can just be a Bodhisattva. When he has time, he can chat with Rommel who is making drawings by the map.

sentence.

Rommel did not have the same leisurely mood as Zhang Jun. He came to the map early to listen to the preparation reports from each unit. Rommel was a hard worker and there was no way to change it. It was Rommel's cautious and cautious temperament that allowed him to

He and Zhang Jun work together perfectly. Brothers are united. Their sharpness can defeat gold.

The Air Force headquarters is at Stade Airport. Kesselring was very busy listening to the reports of various pilots:

"The First Aviation Division is ready."

"The Second Aviation Division is ready."

"The Third Aviation Division is ready."

Kesselring took the microphone, took a deep breath, and then shouted into the microphone loudly:

"All take off"

The German airborne troops were divided into three groups and simultaneously launched airborne assaults at four airports in Denmark and Norway. The 1st Luther Army Air Commando flew directly to the military and civilian airports on both sides of Aalborg, Denmark, and the Vordingborg Bridge.

At 5:30, 300 Junkers transport aircraft of the 1st Aviation Division (the code name of the transport aviation regiment that transports airborne troops) took off from Jutesen Airport carrying the 1st Airborne Division and flew towards Denmark.

After the First Air Division took off, it was quickly organized into three fleets in the air. Each fleet had one hundred aircraft. The first fleet flew to the military airport on the east side of Aalborg, Denmark, and the second fleet flew to the west of Aalborg, Denmark.

Civilian airports. After these two airports were occupied, they became transfer stations for the SS to air transport troops and supplies to Norway. This springboard played a very important role.

Milu is a regiment commander of the 1st Parachute Division. Their mission is to parachute to the military airport in Aalborg. According to intelligence, there is about a brigade of Danish fighter jets at this military airport, and there is also a battalion of Danish infantry guards. Basically

It's a regiment versus a battalion.

The German paratroopers have the advantage of making a surprise attack. They are all the best of the best, with extremely tenacious fighting will and extremely high combat qualities. Although the Danish army has a geographical advantage, they have not gotten up to assemble at 6:30 in the morning! Because of Denmark’s geography

The location is relatively north, and the dawn time is a little later, so their soldiers gather for morning exercises at 7:30. They still have to get up, and the German paratroopers fall from the sky.

"Buzz...buzz..."

One hundred transport planes of the first fleet flew into Denmark in a neat formation. The height of these transport planes is about six thousand meters. If the huge fleet of planes is still heard on the ground, the buzzing roar will also cause

A slight vibration in the air.

"When flying into Danish airspace, everyone should pay attention to fixing their bodies to prevent Danish artillery fire."

As soon as the first group of aircraft flew into Danish airspace, they began to report the situation. If Denmark discovered these invading German aircraft, it would probably attack them with anti-aircraft guns on a large scale. The aircraft would be bumpy when the anti-aircraft shells exploded. If the crew in the cabin

, if you don’t fix your body properly, you may get injured.

If a transport plane is unfortunately hit by anti-aircraft artillery, the German paratroopers inside will only end up in a ground plane. If it explodes in the sky, it will disappear in an instant. If the transport plane has its wings broken, the transport plane will fall directly to the ground. The paratroopers inside the plane will

They will all 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 can you jump out of the cabin. It seems that paratroopers are also an extremely dangerous branch.

Fortunately, the Danish side did not fire a shot at the transport plane in the air. Milu and the others secretly rejoiced at their luck on the plane. They did not know the true situation of the Danish army. There were only two infantry divisions in Denmark with 30,000 soldiers.

The capital, Copenhagen, employs 15,000 people. Excluding the personnel at border checkpoints, it can be said that the entire country of Denmark does not have more than one battalion of anti-aircraft guns. German planes can basically fly around Denmark, so there is no need to worry too much about Danish anti-aircraft guns.

At 6:30, morning glow has appeared in the east, and countless golden lights pierce the clouds on the horizon. It seems to be another day with good weather.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Milu's fleet flew over the Aalborg Military Airport, and the fleet commander's voice came from the cabin:

"Fellow warriors, we have flown over the target and are now preparing to parachute. 1, 2, 3... 9, everyone will start parachuting. Bless you, German warriors, and the head of state is waiting for news of your victory."

"Dududu...dududu..."

The airborne indicator light in the cabin of Milu's plane began to flash and make a pleasant beeping sound. Milu, like other soldiers, checked his equipment again to see if there was anything missing.

Zhang Jun has very special requirements for these paratroopers. He requires all paratroopers to carry necessary sidearms for airborne landings. Of course, this requirement is not a big deal for German paratroopers. Milu and the others have also trained them. Under normal circumstances, paratroopers airborne.

Airborne separately from the weapons, wait for the paratroopers to land, then find their own weapons drop bay, and then gather with the weapons in hand.

It is very suitable to airborne in the wilderness. The chance of the airborne paratroopers being injured is also small, but this time they are airborne to the enemy's airport. There is no time to find the airborne weapons bay, and there is not much time to assemble. Basically,

As soon as you land, start attacking the nearest target. In this way, you can use the shortest possible time.

In the meantime, the airport was captured with the most sudden and violent attack with minimal casualties. This time when we airborne to the enemy's airport, it was obvious that no weapons could be airborne separately. People and sidearms must be airborne together. Only in this way can we launch a surprise attack and airborne in the most effective way.

The last few minutes are extremely critical, and no minute can be wasted.

"bump"

A pilot opened the door of the plane, and a stream of cold wind poured into the cabin. The biting cold wind was raging in the cabin, but all the paratroopers did not show any fear in their eyes. Instead, they were a little excited. These

Paratroopers were the first to participate in actual combat.

"Start parachuting, quick, quick."

"Pu Chi...Pu Chi..."

Milu was the third one to jump out of the cabin. Countless parachutes bloomed in the sky and slowly landed on the ground. The paratroopers at this time were very vulnerable. Any gun could attack the paratroopers who were landing, just like a hunter hitting a paratrooper in the air.

Flying birds, not to mention these "bird people" in the sky.

As for the Danish soldiers at Aalborg Military Airport, most of them were still sleeping, and there were only a few sentries on duty. These Danish soldiers did not sound the alarm, nor did they shoot in the air. They just looked at it in surprise, dementia, and looked like fools.

They were watching countless German paratroopers landing in a flurry. The Danish sentries just watched the German paratroopers landing without any reaction. They were completely stunned.

As soon as Milu landed, he called his companions not far away:

"Quickly, gather quickly and attack at the nearest location."

There were about twenty or thirty German paratroopers landing around Milu. At this time, it didn't matter whether they were part of the same crew or not. Whoever had the highest military rank would obey the command. Milu's lieutenant colonel rank was undoubtedly the highest. Milu looked at

Seeing that about twenty or thirty people had gathered around him, ready to launch an attack, he no longer hesitated and shouted behind him:

"Let's go, rush with me, we'll attack the tower."

The sentry in the Danish tower just stared blankly at Milu rushing to his side, with several black guns pointed at his head. The sentry in the tower just woke up from a dream. This is a war, this is not an exercise.

, under such circumstances, I had no choice but to raise my hands obediently.

Germany's lightning raid was very successful. It can be said that they captured the Aalborg Military Airport without firing a shot. The Danish defenders who were sleeping soundly were all captured in their beds. Not to mention the elite German army.

So much so that the Danish defenders did not dare to fire, but the Danish army never expected that Germany would launch a war so suddenly, and there was no notice from above. Even if someone saw it,

When German paratroopers landed, they did not dare to shoot and kill people rashly when the situation was unclear. What if it was a drill? Wouldn't the person who fired the gun have to be sent to a military court? Those Danish soldiers have not yet determined that this is

During the war, they still wouldn't shoot randomly. While they were still struggling and confused, the German paratrooper's black hole gun was already pointed at his head.

Milou's 1st Paratrooper Regiment occupied the military airport in Aalborg without any bloodshed. No shot was fired and no one was killed. Only during the airborne landing, several paratroopers hung on branches and were slightly injured.

The German lightning attack was so sudden that not only the Danish soldiers failed to react, but even the Danish high-level officials did not respond.

Zhang Jun continued to drink tea leisurely. When the hands of the clock happened to point to 7, two telegrams were delivered to Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun quickly read the two telegrams. The contents above were very simple:

"The First Regiment of the 1st Paratrooper Division has completely occupied the Aalborg Military Airport, and the airport facilities are intact."

"The Second Regiment of the 1st Parachute Division has completely occupied the Aalborg Civil Airport, and the airport facilities are intact."
