Chapter 29

Paratroopers are definitely the first lightning assault force in this world. Since it made its mark in World War I in 1916, Guo Chaodong and his paratroopers have become legends among the soldiers at that time.

Although Guo Chaodong and his team had semi-automatic weapons, 12.7mm machine guns, and rocket launchers at that time, it was also almost an incomplete task. In the end, Guo Chaodong and his paratroopers, with the cooperation of special forces, fought against a complete infantry army with heavy artillery with a regiment, and cut off the return of the German armored brigade at that time. This made the three future famous generals of Germany become military instructors of the Chinese Federation.

This also laid the foundation for the "global lightning assault" capabilities that the Federal Defense Forces of China have at this moment. General Douglas MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, saw such a legend, so he also planned to establish himself as another communication-the first person in large-scale air assault.

The airborne of 1.5 million troops sounds like a joke. Because it is impossible to achieve action by plane alone. But with the transportation of thousands of airships, this is the possible action. Even Army Admiral Douglas MacArthur can proudly say that this is currently the largest airborne operation in the world.

In the dark night, groups of paratroopers on the ground had begun to gather and act. Of course, the Allied paratroopers did not have the ability to deploy quickly in "flying squirrels" like the Chinese Federation, and they would not even jump paragliders. This was undoubtedly a dangerous action in the airborne, but the 15,000-person special forces had caused quite chaos to the German command system on the ground.

Behind the German Army, there were only some police divisions composed of veterans and new recruits who participated in World War I. And at this moment they had to take over the entire army group and leave, which became empty. They were light infantry and had no armor power except Hummers. However, when the transport aircraft group in the sky flew past and the paratroopers were swaying under the parachutes in the sky, these police divisions still played a considerable role.

"These bastards, like Thunder International in the First World! Do you know that I was very difficult to deal with those guys at that time!"

The driver was a veteran, who was also the squad leader of the recruits. With him, the recruits were not so nervous about joining the battle for the first time. The assault rifles in their hands were placed on the window of the Hummer, and they were chatting with the veterans while staring at the outside.

There is a 12.7mm machine gun on the roof, and other cars are equipped with 25mm anti-aircraft cannons, or weapons such as recoilless cannons. The machine gun shooter's armor plate is fixed with infrared searchlights, so that soldiers wearing infrared night vision devices can see the enemy. In addition, the driving veterans, who are also wearing single-person infrared night vision devices. As for the others, they have to open their eyes wide and look around nervously when turning off the lights.

They could not see the parachute floating in the sky, and occasionally the searchlights flashed in the remaining searchlights under the attack of the Allied Special Forces.

"Well, don't be nervous, they are far away from us. We have to go to our target... Don't panic in the plan, otherwise the paratroopers will know that we are still here."

This is a platoon-level combat team, including a total of 4 Hummers from the Sharp Knife and the Guards. Two other trucks pull the remaining people in the platoon and the mortar squad that joined during wartime to enhance the firepower of the entire infantry platoon. Their mission is to defend against the edge of the city.

This is the order issued by the commander of the police division after all contacts were interrupted. At this moment, they could not go to the field to fight the paratroopers, because instead of consuming the power of the entire police division in the field, it is better to stick to the city and clear the special forces in the city, and form a nail in the siege of the Allied forces.

According to the plan of General Douglas MacArthur, the Allied air assault forces will split the defense lines of the two major German armies in Europe. At the same time, under the attack from front and back, they will eat a complete German army group, and also want to eat up more than 50 German coastal defense divisions. This is indeed a risky choice.

Because if another German army group launched a counterattack with enough air force. And if they could block the fact that they were surrounded by the Allied Airborne Corps, then perhaps the Allied forces would retreat completely from Europe. General Douglas MacArthur, the Army of Army, was probably enough to go to the military court.

But on the other hand, the Allies use powerful air force to ensure the smooth flow of air transportation. Then a surrounded German army group and those coastal defense divisions are really dangerous. If this is the case, General Douglas MacArthur will be the absolute star who tactically applies the largest airborne troops. What Germany has to face is probably the problem of being defeated again.

But now, the battle is on a fierce attack, and it is still an unknown number to win and lose.

After the Allied paratroopers landed, they quickly cleared the German police forces near the airborne ground, and at the same time they established fortifications to resist the attack of the German police forces. This was quite difficult for paratroopers with only light weapons. The only advantage they were that at this moment, the German army group was facing Normandy, where the Allied forces on the Normandy beach had also launched a restraining attack.

Like a sewing machine, it was the firing sound of a 12.7mm machine gun on a German Mustang carriage. It was like the sound of nailing nails, which was the bombardment of a 25mm high-level dual-purpose gun. Compared with a 12.7mm machine gun, this is a more worrying weapon. The tracer grenades they fired would explode like a grenade, and what was terrible was that their explosion had a range of 200 to 300 rounds per minute.

A grenade may not have much impact on soldiers in foxgloves, but when used against infantry, this kind of anti-aircraft artillery with the best effective range of 2,000 meters and a maximum range of 4,000 meters is really a weapon that easily makes people feel sad.

In the continuous explosions, the vegetation near the fox pit of the Allied paratroopers was directly twisted into pieces by fine grenade projectiles, and paratroopers made sharp screams in the flying projectiles from time to time. However, at this moment, except for the bazooka, mortar and other weapons, the Allied forces only had recoilless cannons. However, this kind of artillery with a rate of fire per minute could not be fought against the 25mm high-level dual-purpose cannons installed on Hummers by the German police division.

When the Allied paratroopers landed, these fighter jets also arrived in the air. Their huge figure attracted most of the German air defense firepower, and they continued to sail. Various German artillery fired on the ground, which had obvious infrared characteristics.

With the initial airborne casualties, the paratroopers quickly organized troops to defend the sound of airborne with sufficient strength. Although there was an attack from the German police division, they still persisted until the following incident happened. What arrived earlier than the airship transportation was the "meteorite airborne cabin" towed by the bomber group. They appeared in the sky in large patches, and these bombers were posing in the cabin formation of heavy bombers. When they left the airborne field, the "meteorite airborne cabin" was dropped from the air.

The German anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ground here is still quite fierce, but most of them are anti-aircraft artillery of police divisions huddled in the city. They are known for their small caliber and flat dual-purpose use. No one has ever expected them to do anything to those high-altitude bombers while fighting against the "Ana Gunboat". As for the "Meteorite Airborne Cabin", they dive at a high angle in the sky, and the pilot can fly out a smooth curve to avoid artillery fire.

The first thing we came was a group of armored infantry divisions. They were the main attack troops after the paratroopers seized and defended the airborne field. They also expanded the range of the airborne field to ensure a fragile group of airships covered by a large number of combat attack aircraft. They included heavy equipment such as tanks and self-propelled artillery, as well as more infantry divisions, armored infantry divisions, and tank divisions were transported by thousands of airships.

Whether this huge airborne operation can be successful is the main sign of whether the airship group carrying a large number of supplies and heavy armored forces can land safely. As long as they land and stabilize the front line, the airborne operation can be declared to be initially successful.
