474 Fighting with Less
There was no light around him. Flying above the sky, Lehman felt the cold outside the cabin. The plane he was in was bumping, which made him know that everything was still going on.
When the harsh explosion sounded, everyone knew that they had entered the sky above the UK. Countless anti-aircraft artillery were roaring, and the plane was jogging even more violently.
"We are about to enter the airdrop area! The aircraft fleet is descending from the altitude! Prepare to parachute!" The co-pilot turned back from the cockpit and shouted loudly to the soldiers in the cabin.
Everyone was nervous, this time was different from any previous battles, because they were going to face more and more terrifying enemies.
"Stand up! Check your equipment! Be careful at your feet! Don't fall!" After hearing the order, Lehman stood up and shouted loudly.
There was the roar of the engine inside the plane, the explosion of British anti-aircraft guns outside the fuselage, and no one could hear clearly if he didn't speak loudly.
When everyone stood up and started to check their equipment, a shrapnel pierced through the aluminum plate of the plane and rushed into the cabin, making a jingle sound.
Everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks. Fortunately, the shrapnel did not seem to hit anyone or important equipment, and the plane still maintained a stable flight.
For paratroopers, the time they wait on the plane before parachuting is very painful. At this time, life and death are not in their own hands. If they are shot down, it often means that no one in the entire plane can survive.
What's more, there was a glider behind their plane. Lehman waited patiently, praying constantly in his heart, praying that he could leave the plane smoothly.
"Start airdrop paratroopers! Let the paratroopers leave the plane!" The warning light on the plane lit up, and the co-pilot shouted at the paratroopers behind him again.
Without anyone to help, Leman opened the cabin door in front of him with force. The cold wind rushed in, causing everyone to squint their eyes.
This may be the most terrifying airborne scene encountered by German paratroopers. In the distant sky, tracer bombs kept flying into the sky, forming beautiful thin lines one after another.
At almost the same height, the anti-aircraft gun shells exploded, illuminating the German planes in the distance. There is no doubt that the enemy was firing wildly.
Just by relying on the terrifying air defense firepower in front of us, we know that the British defenders were ready to face the attack. They were not cowards in the Belgian fortress, nor were the British expeditionary forces with insufficient troops on Crete.
Now, the British are fighting on the ground, and they have the advantage of geographical advantage, and seem to have an advantage in numbers and weapons.
Lehman began to feel that the order he was about to execute became a little tricky, but he suddenly thought that the paratroopers seemed to have more precious things than the enemy - courage!
"Hang the parachute lock! Finally check your equipment! Fix the weapon in front of your chest! Gentlemen! Jump! Jump! Jump!" Lehman rushed into his mouth despite the cold wind and gave the last order before the parachute.
Then, the first soldier who jumped out of the cabin opened his body until the lock of the parachute was pulled off by the plane. A huge white parachute flower opened in the air, followed by the second and third flowers.
"If you can't find me when you land, help me kill a few more British bastards!" Gunther screamed wildly before the skydiving, and then his voice disappeared into the wind.
Lehman glanced at the cabin that was overcrowded just now but now empty. He didn't know if the co-pilot who was walking over saw his smile, so he jumped out of the cabin of the plane.
He felt a huge force behind him pulling, which shows that his parachute lock was working very normally and pulled open his parachute.
The cold on February 13 still made him feel uncomfortable. Although he had practiced skydiving in January in France, the cold had become blurred in his memory.
People are often used to forgetting something and something unimportant. Lehmann still remembers not many things, and not many things that can make him remember.
But he knew that what happened in front of him now would never be forgotten in his life. The earth under his feet seemed to be burning, and countless bullets flew past him, as if to tear him apart.
A burning glider fell not far away, and Lehman could even see struggling people flying out of the burning glider and scattering in the sky.
Soon he landed on the ground, and the huge impact force made him roll around the ground before stopping, and then a huge parachute covered his head.
The density of German paratroopers airborne was too high, and the density of British defenders on the ground was actually not small.
As soon as the two sides contacted each other, they fought each other. Lehman saw a British machine gun position keeping fire in the sky, and the machine gun position was not even a straight line distance of fifty meters away from him.
He was so busy untiing his weapon and holding a stg-44 assault rifle in his hand that Lehman finally felt the long-lost sense of security.
Beside him, a German soldier gathered over, and the two of them rushed towards the British machine gun position in the distance without hesitation, carrying their respective weapons.
After hesitating for a minute, more soldiers who were parachuting in the sky were killed. Lehman walked forward in the wilderness with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked to less than ten meters away from the British position, but was still not discovered.
Now, the emergence of German paratroopers has caused chaos in the undertrained British defenders. The nervous recruits manipulated their weapons and fired desperately, using this method to boost their courage.
The only thing that caused the German paratroopers to suffer was that the density of the British defenders in this area was really exaggerated, which made the paratroopers who had just begun to attack and had a strong foothold.
Lehman picked up his weapon and stood there waiting for the other party to fire again. When the flames at the muzzle illuminated the faces of these British soldiers, he calmly pulled the trigger.
The sudden strafing caught the British soldiers in the bunker off guard. Two British soldiers fell into the bunker, and the other two lay on their backs outside the bunker.
"Steel!" Several black shadows bent over and appeared directly behind the bunker. They shouted the order of the German paratroopers, which scared Lehmann to bend down and dodge.
The moment he bent down to avoid, Leman subconsciously shouted an identification password to prove his identity: "Ambition!"
This game name password from the 21st century. Li Le felt that even if the enemy wanted to break his head, he probably wouldn't have thought of it. In terms of evil taste, he took it out in advance and deployed it as a password for this action.
Of course, even though it was deeply flirted with bad taste, this still couldn't change the cruelty and bloodiness of this battle on the night of February 13.
"There are all British soldiers around! They are searching for paratroopers! We seem to have landed in the enemy's barracks!" A soldier told Lehman what he saw in the British machine gun position.
He saw a paratrooper landing in front of a team of British patrolmen, and just struggled out of his parachute and was killed on the side of the road.
The team of British soldiers who fired the gun were not far from the machine gun position. They were guarding both sides of the road, waiting for the German paratroopers to fall into the trap.
"It sounds tricky... These British soldiers are not new recruits, and the method of ambushing is indeed very practical." Because it was dark, Lehman could not see the map, so he could only judge the situation from the lines of the paratrooper.
However, he quickly decided to give up the machine gun position in front of him and take the people around him to find trouble for the British patrol.
"They were ambushed on both sides of the road, which means they had dispersed their forces..." Lehman said to his friendly forces while gesturing.
Regardless of whether the other party saw his gestures or not, he decided to go to the other side of the road first, kill the British soldiers on one side, and then see if there is a chance to kill the enemy on the other side.
Soon, the team set out. They had experienced too many such things, and everyone seemed to be accustomed to this chaotic state.
To be honest, German paratroopers have become accustomed to the key points of spontaneously organizing troops to seize the enemy, as if they were born to do this.
From Belgium to the Netherlands, from Malta to Crete, every time they enter a battle, the only difference is that it is really cold here.
Touching the darkness, Lehman seemed to have identified some directions. Although they couldn't see the surrounding targets clearly at this time, they could still find the enemy's position.
"A little further ahead, it's the road. Behind the bushes, there should be the British ambush position." Looking at the dark place in the distance, a German paratrooper who had just escaped from here lowered his voice and said.
Leman nodded, then patted one of his subordinates on the shoulder, put his hand close to the other person's eyes, and pointed in another direction.
With the bright moonlight, the German paratrooper saw the commander's order clearly, nodded, and then bowed his body and walked towards the side that Lehman pointed at.
And Leman himself looked at the seven paratroopers following him. These were collected along the way. Now they are going to attack 35 British soldiers without hesitation...
Soon, a bloody fierce battle would begin, and such fierce battles broke out on the night of February 13, 1941.
