With the intermittent sound of anti-aircraft cannons behind him, Leman carried his pistol and finally found something that excited him in the faint mist.

A weapon box full of German! There is also a special parachute that is larger than the parachute used by humans.

Lehman ran over quickly, then used his dagger to lift the small nail on the box, and opened the lid on it desperately.

Then, a fresh aroma of oil drifted out. Keeping a gun is a complicated task, and a good weapon requires careful maintenance by people.

It's like a delicate flower, or a beautiful woman, and the weapon is almost the same.

The Germans can be said to be a model among the great powers in this regard, and they are world-class in the care and use of machinery.

Even today, decades later, looking at some standards of German military industry back then, it was very advanced, and the rules were so unbearable that people could not bear to leave behind.

Lehman lifted the box and saw a neat row of Mauser 98k rifles inside, and a box placed independently on the edge.

He ignored the Mauser 98k rifles that he looked down upon, but carried the handle made of rope on the independent box and took out the independent box.

Then he squatted on the ground, opened the independent box again, and took out the stg-44 assault rifle that was newly equipped for the troops.

Originally, the weapon box dropped from the air was only grenades or Mauser rifles. Similarly, there is another box containing the stg-44 assault rifles.

However, during subsequent training, during the airdrop, it was found that some troops could find a box of stg-44 assault rifles, while some troops could only use the Mauser rifles they picked up.

Until the technology of allowing guns to airborne with paratroopers at the same time matures, it seems that this approach will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Therefore, Germany deliberately customized a batch of such wooden boxes, mixing the two weapons together and loading them into the boxes, so that the troops can find weapons that are more suitable for them to be put into battle.

Found a stg-44 assault rifle and stroked the smooth guardrail and buttstock on it, Lehman became more calm.

After all, he had found his weapon and found something that could protect himself from defeating fear on this dangerous battlefield.

He stuffed the magazine in the box into the magazine bag hanging on his chest with the armed belt, then picked up the assault rifle and inserted a brand new magazine.

"Crash!" Pulling the bolt on the gun and letting the bullets hit the barrel of the gun. This was the first time that Lehman completed his real combat preparations after landing.

Then he decided to guard the box and at least let the other soldiers take away some of the guns before leaving here.

There is a whole box of brand new weapons here, which means that at least one squad of soldiers has not found the weapons, which means that one squad of soldiers has no way to fight.

Just as he was thinking about these questions, a small sound of trampling through the grass suddenly came from a distance. Lehman didn't know whether it was an enemy or a comrade, so he could only lean against the weapon box and prepare for battle.

"Lightning!" Through the morning mist, he saw a figure that seemed to be there and there. Leman lowered his voice and asked.

"Thunder!" After hearing this shout, the opposite side obviously lowered their body and then replied quietly.

As for why Germany's action plan to land on Malta, the password was lightning and thunder, which was entirely because the head of state asked Student to act like this.

Because of the evil taste from the funeral, someone insisted on using this classic password from Normandy, but he is the only one who knows the so-called "feelings".

After hearing the other party's command, Lehmann's nervous mood calmed down slightly. He moved his gun away and waited for the other party to slowly approach.

Soon, he found that the person coming from the opposite side was not a German paratrooper, but seven or eight paratrooper comrades who were gathering together.

"My God, you are so lucky. You actually came down with the weapon box." The other party glanced at the stg-44 assault rifle held in Leman's hand and said enviously.

While saying this, the soldiers slowly divided the remaining Mauser 98k rifles in the box.

"We are from the 2nd Company, Corporal Schekov. Are you?" A non-commissioned officer with military rank sorted out his weapons and introduced himself to Lehman.

"I'm from the 1st Company, Cos Lehman!" Lehman stretched out his hand and briefly shook the other party.

Because paratroopers need to be airborne, they often find that they cannot find the officer or the death of the officer in the process.

Therefore, paratroopers have the habit of obeying the highest commander nearby. After all, forming combat power in the shortest time is the condition for paratroopers to win or survive.

"On the way we came, we met an anti-aircraft gun position of the British." The corporal pointed to the direction they came and said to Lehman: "Let's go back!"

This is the obvious rhythm of causing trouble. It seems that they are going to destroy the nearby British anti-aircraft gun positions.

"Action with us?" The other party asked Lehman's opinion politely.

But at this time, Lehman could not have any opinions. He could only nod and agree to act with the other party-until he met his own troops, or they met a larger officer, and asked them to perform other tasks.

Soon, these German paratroopers touched the side of a British anti-aircraft machine gun position that was constantly firing into the sky.

The tracer bomb can be clearly seen even in the mist, like a winding firework, flying towards the sky in a curve.

As for how many British soldiers there are on this machine gun position, it is not what the German paratroopers who just approached here know.

The other party seemed not to notice that there were enemies around him, and they were still firing in the sky without any intention of hiding themselves.

Lehmann held his weapon and had shortened the distance to less than thirty meters. He even heard the British shouts, and the meticulous English made people feel uncomfortable.

Two German paratroopers following him installed bayonets on Mauser's rifle. This rifle is not as useful as the stg-44 assault rifle at close range, and can only use bayonets to solve the problem.

"Three! Two! One! Go!" After silently reciting the countdown, Lehman and two soldiers jumped up from their hiding place and rushed towards the British anti-aircraft machine gun position that was shooting in the air.

Their movement was soon discovered by the British sentry guarding around them. The other party was in panic and was in no way accurate when the shot was fired.

Like the Germans, the Lee Enfield rifles they equipped were bolt-type rifles and lacked suppression at close range.

Although the speed of fire was emphasized during the design, this British famous gun was still limited by the bolt-type rifle structure and could not be compared with semi-automatic or automatic rifles.

So after knocking down a German paratrooper who was rushing next to Lehman, the opponent had no time to shoot a second shot and was hit in the head by Lehman.

At this time, Lehmann and the attacking German paratroopers also discovered the size of the position - this was a circular fortification, with trenches and sandbags with enhanced structures.

More than a dozen British soldiers also had an anti-aircraft machine gun, and they were completely unaware that the Germans had approached this distance...

Before these British soldiers could react, Lehman fully utilized the rate of fire of the assault rifle. He held the assault rifle and swept down half of the people before the other party shouted the word surrender.

"Tutu!Tutu!" When the British were still pulling the bolts, the continuous bullets allowed these unlucky guys to appreciate the power of the assault rifle three years in advance.

The dense bullets suddenly defeated the British's will to resist, and half of them fell down instantly, causing the remaining half to immediately give up on resistance.

"Surrender!" "Surrender!" Even if German and British are not common, this does not prevent grassroots soldiers from becoming self-taught.

The soldiers of the belligerent countries all mastered some commonly used words very quickly, such as the word surrender - of course, there is also the internationally common gesture of raising hands.

Lehman held his weapon and almost forgot to replace the bullets for the empty magazine. The remaining German paratroopers holding bayonets were only remembered at this time when they were hit by the bullets.

The soldier who was hit by the British sentry's bullet was lucky. The bullet hit his shoulder, which was not fatal in this case.

As long as German paratroopers successfully capture the island, this kind of injury may still be cured.

So Lehman's mood has also improved, at least they have not encountered large-scale losses yet.

Soon, the battle here attracted more German paratroopers to gather. Some of these paratroopers had weapons, while others were more unlucky and could only bare hands.

Lehman found his boss and met his own troops. Then the dozens of paratroopers gathered together launched a tentative attack on the surrounding British positions.

They seized several British anti-aircraft machine gun positions and destroyed a British anti-aircraft gun.

These attacks made the British retreat. The scale of German paratroopers and their combat effectiveness shocked the British guarding the Island of Malta. The other party gave up some positions, allowing the German army to end their chaos and gather calmly.

On that day, at 7 a.m. on the 23rd, most of the 3,000 German airborne troops landed safely and controlled a considerable vast area.
