Chapter 440 The Brave is Invincible
When the east showed whiteness of fish belly, the huge fortress had already appeared in front of Rose.
Their actions are just right! It’s so dawn that you can find your own goal, and the opponent has no defense yet!
Moreover, although Rose's glider had taken off twice, the second time was towed by Stuka bombers. They had a higher flight height and used a shorter time when they floated over.
So, this plane was the first to fly over.
Of course, it was just about the front and back of the feet, and other gliders were almost behind them.
When they take off, they need to rely on the wheels, and when they start to get out of the plane, the wheels are thrown away.
This wheel will add additional drag, causing the flight speed to decay too quickly, and at the same time, they cannot rely on the wheel to land.
The wheels require a runway and are long enough that the target is not that wide at all, so they can only use unconventional landing methods!
"Be careful, it's going to land." The glider had no power or any sound. Rose's voice came to everyone's ears.
From here, you can clearly see the top of the fortress, which is 900 meters long and 700 meters wide. The terrain is open and flat, and at this time, there are weeds on it.
If there is an organic wheel, the length of 900 meters is not enough. Now, the dfs 230 glider that has thrown away the wheel is a solid heavy sled under the belly. It can be said that this landing was a completely head-on landing.
In order to further reduce the resistance, a large amount of iron wire is also wrapped around the sled, which is a temporary increase before takeoff.
When landing, the impact force was very strong. After receiving Rose's reminder, everyone in the cabin grabbed the grips beside them. They were waiting for the arrival of the final landing.
The height is a bit high. In order to land, Ross had to push the operating lever downward and dive instead, and perform a steep dive quickly! In this way, he could land and stop at a very short distance.
The platform was getting bigger and bigger. At this time, Rose was fully focused. If he could not land on it, the glider without power would not be able to fly again and land again.
Must be accurate!
As an excellent glider pilot, Ross is quite sure that during training, he can land within 20 meters of space around the center of the target circle, which is quite accurate.
This time, of course, is no exception!
Continue to decline!
The platform was getting bigger and bigger, and Ross could see the grass fluttering in the wind on the top, and then he felt a huge impact force coming.
The sled has already had close contact with the platform at the top of the fortress!
Landing head-on! The glider took on the impact of this collision with the solid steel pipe structure body. The sled below made two marks at the top of the platform, and the grass below was broken.
The glider continued to glide forward, and the speed was getting slower and slower. Finally, it stopped!
A successful landing! Rose stopped the glider to the center of the top of the platform, with an error of almost two meters!
"Quick, hurry, hurry!" Lieutenant Weiqige shouted loudly, looking at his subordinates, holding the assault rifle, and fishing out from the opening on the side of the glider.
A few years ago, at the Moscow parade, Soviet airborne troops descended from the sky, which brought great shock to the military chiefs of other countries, and countries began to establish airborne troops.
However, Germany is thinking.
After many drills, the German military concluded that when raiding a tactical target with a smaller range, it has a greater advantage to implementing aircraft landing with a light assault glider than using parachutes for parachutes.
Because the parachute is too slow, it takes a long time for the paratroopers to slowly fall from the air to the ground. They are in a passive state of being beaten, which is prone to casualties.
Even if you land safely, it will be difficult to quickly gather to form combat power due to the dispersion of landing sites. In addition, paratroopers must also remove parachutes and find weapons and equipment to be released separately. The time will take quite a long time, which can easily miss the opportunity to fight and greatly reduce the effect of the raid.
The airborne troops seemed to fall from the sky and were quite imposing, but in fact their combat effectiveness was not high.
However, the situation is completely different when using a glider.
The biggest problem with parachute drops is that they are too scattered, but gliders can be accurately positioned, so they can easily land near the target.
Another advantage is that as long as you land, fully armed airborne troops can jump out of the glider and join the battle immediately. Moreover, they can carry more weapons than parachutes in the glider!
If the parachute is descending, the transport plane must fly over the target, with huge noise, and the glider does not have the noise generated by the engine. If an attack is launched at night, it can quietly arrive at the target area without the enemy knowing it, thereby achieving a nearly perfect surprise attack effect.
In this era, other countries have not yet valued gliders, but the German airborne soldiers have used it to create a miracle!
When the sky in the east was just shining, the German assault team had arrived at the top of the most important Eben-Emal Fortress, and they were fishing out, and in front of them, a Belgian sentry opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the Germans falling from the sky.
He was already confused. At this moment, his surprise occupied his mind. He did not expect that the Germans could actually come on these iron birds, which was like dreaming.
So much so that he didn't expect to issue an alarm, and the German commando rushed down from the glider.
"Dadada." The assault rifle in the hands of the German soldier, a short shot, and a 6.8mm bullet, swept him down. When his body leaned back, he suddenly realized that the war had begun.
Behind, one glider after another landed from the sky with quite thrilling movements, collided with the platform, accelerated and stopped. When it just stopped, the German soldiers above came out one after another.
"No!" a German soldier shouted. He saw a glider falling afterwards. Under the influence of a gust of crosswind, he was about to slide off to one side of the platform!
At this time, the pilot pressed the operating lever hard. During the violent collision, the glider landed and continued to glide towards the edge of the platform. The front end was already hanging from the upper end of the platform. Fortunately, he stopped.
