Chapter 60 Soldiers descend from the sky (2)
Karl von Hanster Note 1 is a SS member and an excellent sniper. His hometown is an inconspicuous small village near the Bavarian holy land of Visi. Hans's father was a very outstanding hunter and a SS member who died in that terrible infighting.
At this time, Hans, like many companions, sat in the cabin and waited for the officer's banner. The officer was a very excellent SS commando lieutenant. Hans only knew that if the commander raised the yellow flag, it would mean that the soldiers were ready. In that case, Hans would help the short assault soldier around him check the parachute. If he raised the white flag and the red flag at the same time, Hans actually didn't understand what "falling" and "waving around back and forth" meant. He was an extremely simple person, and he would jump down anyway if others danced.
The short assault soldier has a very rural name: Wolfgang Millett Note 2. According to him, he was so short because he always ate a lot of food, and the result was in indigestion that affected his development. However, he still swears that he would definitely be the soldier who killed the most enemies in the platoon.
"Madam Junker" is actually not a good airborne raid model, because its engine sounds a bit loud, and people in the cabin are unwilling to speak. A large part of it is said and they cannot hear clearly what their companions are saying.
Hans straightened his waist slightly and turned his head to look out the window: Under the night, hundreds of transport planes lined up in a three-dimensional square array in the air, passing through the clouds and flying towards the destination. Hans remembered that the instructor once said that foggy and cloudy weather was not very suitable for airborne combat, just because the pilot of the plane could not see the ground clearly, and it was likely that the airdrop error would be wrong. In this way, the paratroopers were likely to be airdropped in the wrong position, missed the opportunity to participate in the war, or jumped directly into the enemy's barracks or ambush circles to become lambs to be slaughtered.
Miller was also looking out through the machine window. He stood up in a half-squat position because he was shorter. He saw the dark sea surface. Occasionally, when there were no clouds, he would see the shadows of hundreds of transport aircraft from the sea surface. In fact, he was not as calm as he seemed now, and he would not stand up and look outside without being nervous. He rubbed his eyes, thinking something was wrong, and he saw a black thing swallowing the sea surface.
Suddenly, a loud roar woke the paratroopers up.
Franz Beckenbolter's platoon leader, who had just walked out of the cab, just because the transporter pilot told him 'we're almost in Oslo'.
The SS lieutenant was a Germanic man in his forties. He had raised the yellow flag in his hand. The meaning was obvious, just to ask the paratroopers to prepare to jump, and they had already reached their destination!
Forty men stood up at the same time. They began to check the parachutes for their partners in a compact and orderly manner. When they found that the buckles on the parachute surface of their companions were a little loose, they would tightly fix the buckles. The buckles were very important for paratroopers. Once the buckles were loose and tensed during the parachute diving, they would definitely fall directly to the ground from a high altitude and become a pile of meat scraps.
After checking the paratroopers' parachutes, they will conduct detailed inspections of their equipment. Some equipment will be wrapped in a container, such as grenades, magazines, grenades, raincoats, blankets, and food. However, one thing is that their guns will definitely be fixed and placed horizontally on the abdomen. The main reason for horizontal position is that they are worried that the butt stock will hit the chin when performing landing, and a sharp dagger will be tied to the right calf. This is to prevent the buckle from being tightened after landing and cannot be untie it. Paratroopers must use daggers to cut the buckle rope. There is a reason why the firearms are not placed in the container. After landing, the paratroopers must put their horses into battle and have no time to take it out of the container.
Beckenbauer stood by the hatch door and looked out. The ground was no longer sea water, but land. Looking down from a high altitude, there were blazing fires on some parts of the ground. He thought to himself, "This is an enemy air defense position visited by his own bombers."
Just as the transport aircraft group entered Oslo air, the air defense artillery that was not hit by its own bombing troops began to fire in the sky. A series of anti-aircraft shells flashing like pearl necklaces in the night sky shot directly at the transport aircraft group. Some transport aircraft left the three-dimensional array to avoid it, and did not return to the queue until the anti-aircraft shells lost their ability to strike.
From this angle, Beckenbauer saw dozens of Stuka bombers flying almost at the sea surface. The Stukali's screaming sound was so creepy in the night sky that they flew directly to the enemy's air defense position to drop bombs, and then pulled the body up.
Further afield, the German Air Force was fighting Norwegian air force, and the paratroopers in the transport plane looked out from the aircraft window, and occasionally saw a fighter plane in the night sky suddenly turned into a ball of fire in the air and then smashed to the ground.
Fortunately, after the bombing, almost all of Norwegian anti-aircraft guns turned into scrap iron, and finally did not cause any losses to the airborne troops.
Norway does not seem to implement light control. Looking down from altitude, you can see the lights of Norwegian towns. It seems that in the eyes of paratroopers, the towns on the ground seem to be gradually getting bigger. This is the transport planes falling down.
‘Bon——’ A harsh sound like a car horn suddenly sounded in the cabin.
Beckenbauer lowered the yellow flag, held the white flag in his right hand, and picked up the red flag in his left hand, and raised them high at the same time. In the dim view, Beckenbauer's gaze was so sharp that he stared at the soldiers hang the wire on the right hand side of the top of the cabin. The paratroopers would parachute from the right side of the cabin. The wire on the right hand side of the cabin was to allow the parachute to be pulled after the paratroopers jumped out and then automatically opened.
After the paratroopers jump down, the parachute will open within 5 seconds, and the paratroopers will drop by almost 0 feet. In addition, the container containing soldiers' supplies will be thrown out from the door on the left of the cabin. All of them should be thrown out in the paratroopers' parachuting 14 to 15 seconds. If not, the transportation opportunity will hover again and throw out the unfinished things.
The height of the transport aircraft has dropped from 100 feet to 500 feet. Beckenbauer is waiting for the signal from the transport aircraft driver. If he arrives at the destination, the transport aircraft driver will honk the horn again, and then the "jump down" command will be issued.
The transport plane was not very stable. Beckenbauer's body was shaking. He had no time to see if the enemy troops on the ground were shooting again. His whole spirit was focused on receiving the order of "jump down". At this moment, the harsh "horn" sounded again in the cabin. Beckenbauer waved his hands down with both hands. The soldiers standing by the cabin door jumped down and the second soldier jumped down quickly...
Hans came to the door of the cabin. He saw that the war in front had already jumped down and immediately jumped out. He liked the feeling of parachuting very much. First of all, the body would be attracted by the gravity and quickly fell down. At this time, the human heart would have an illusion that it would fall off from the body. At this time, the paratroopers must close their eyes and must close their mouths tightly, otherwise they might be affected by the air pressure when they fell down. The eyes were squeezed by the air and lost their vision. At the same time, it also means that the eyeballs had left the human body. There is a very funny adjective for this, but not funny at all, that is: throwing the eyeballs!
Hans felt a sudden shock in his body, his waist and chest suddenly tightened. The depraved posture turned into a floating posture after the parachute was opened. He finally had time to watch the brothers jump down. They were countless mushrooms unfolding in the sky. Under these mushrooms, there would be a warrior who was good at fighting. The warriors split the sky, descended from the sky, and punished evil heresy as the Bible said.
Hans had a very strange thought at this time, and he was thinking: "Punish evil heresy? Then that is to say, the Norwegians are evil? It seems wrong. Most Norwegians also believe in emperors. So... are we just?"
Hans didn't want to do it anymore. He saw Norwegian soldiers shooting at the paratroopers who were airborne. The Norwegian soldiers had lost their anti-aircraft guns. They were shooting at the German paratroopers hanging from parachutes with machine guns, rifles, pistols, and all weapons that could kill people.
The paratroopers hanging on the parachute could not fight back at all. They were so obviously hit by bullets shot out by Norwegians, and blood spilled in the sky!
Hans saw a picture he didn't want to see. The short man...is Miller, who claimed to be the platoon, killed the most enemies. His parachute rope was shot and cracked, and his whole person smashed straight to the ground.
"Unforgivable, shameful, hateful Norwegians!" Hans finally landed. He rolled around the ground, half-squatted on the ground and unbuttoned the snap, held the sniper rifle in his chest in his hand, and sweared: Norwegians are definitely evil heresy! Lord... Please give me strength! Let me destroy these cowards who only hide in the dark and fire cold guns!
More and more paratroopers of the "Imperial Scimitar" landed, and they began to fight back, and gunfire sounded everywhere. The paratroopers gathered together, and then looked for containers thrown down with supplies. In between, they would do their best to eliminate the enemies within the range, and then rushed to the designated gathering place.
Hans was chattering, his sniper rifle aimed at a Norwegian soldier who was shooting into the sky with a rifle. Under the night and the burning fire, the Norwegian soldier seemed to be chanting ‘4, 5, 6…’ from his mouth. Hans was angry. He pulled the trigger and did not see if he hit the target. He was very confident in his marksmanship. When he turned around and walked towards the darkness, he would say with great sincerity: Amen. Then he would definitely add another sentence: Follow the orders of the great leader Kahn von Sdaq. Go to hell, the hateful Norwegian!
