.On November 12, 1940, at almost one o'clock in the morning.

At some air force base in Calais, the runway under the searchlights was filled with Junker Ju-52 transport aircraft, and they are now undergoing final inspection and maintenance.

At this time, various gliders were fixed behind "Aunt Junker". At present, ground staff were checking the relevant equipment. The busy figures intertwined with each other, but very few people were talking. However, with the light, you can definitely see the excited expressions on their faces, and they worked extremely hard one by one.

On each hangar on the other side, the original equipment and aircraft have been emptied, and the ground crew brought a large number of stools arranged in square arrays.

The space of the hangar is very vast. Each hangar is enough to accommodate a battalion of soldiers. Each company with different characters gathers its own people and sits separately.

The soldiers wearing paratrooper camouflage costumes sat neatly in a square. They had been told that tonight was the time to carry out the "Loading Day" combat plan. The officers on the podium were explaining important information. As each paratrooper company had different tasks, the content was also different.

"The area we airborne is in Area 1. The information in this area has been repeatedly explained before. Soldiers who do not understand must confirm the relevant information with the squad leader later, hoping that our company will not get lost after airborne and do not form a stupid thing."

The Third German Empire divided all the offensive targets needed by the airborne troops into areas, replacing them with the letters a, b, c... a1, a2, a3,... z1. Each area has the primary offensive or destructive target.

Since the troops arrive on the battlefield in the form of airborne and are destined to be unable to fully assemble and advance like the army, it is necessary to subdivide the tasks into companies and even platoons. In order to avoid accidents during airborne, for example, the troops who died in battle formed a state of confusion, each officer in the divided area includes the company level, the platoon level, and even the squad and non-commissioned officers must understand the key to the task and form an effective chain of command.

An army officer once said: "The system of those guys (referring to paratroopers) is very wonderful. If they train in their way, we (referring to the army) will not lack grassroots officers."

Yes, just like when the "100,000 Army", every soldier was trained according to non-commissioned officers. The training method of the paratroopers inherited the training tradition of Johannes Friedrich Leoped von Sickett. Almost any ordinary soldier can immediately become a qualified squad, platoon-level non-commissioned officer after getting the army system.

The paratroopers are definitely worthy of the title of "the best and the most elite", which will be fully reflected in the upcoming "Landing Day" battle!

At 130 a.m., a number of 1,000 bombers and escorts were launched from all over the country on time. Their attitude was no different from usual. They gathered to reach the sky above Britain, and then dispersed regularly to bomb military bases or cities.

About the first staircase, the various models of aircraft with a second staircase of 500 immediately arrived at the edge of the coastline of Britain.

The second ladder of the five hundred aircraft were mostly Stuka Ju-87 models except for a small number of bf-109e4s. Unlike their previous brothers who rushed to the mainland of Britain, they mainly placed the bombing targets near the beach, and bombs like raindrops roared down, plowing the beach and even nearby buildings very carefully over and over again.

When the second ladder of bombs was completed and returned to the flagship, they met brothers halfway through, and it was obvious that the target of brothers with a large number of bombers was still a valuable target near the coast.

As expected by the pilots of the second level, the medium bombers and ground combat power carried out super-cover bombings on the area extending into the beach without hesitation, and even a small livestock shed was not spared.

With the long-term bombing and the indiscriminate coverage tonight, the "no man's land" cleared by the Air Force is very considerable. The only thing that is not enough is the scorched earth and potholes left? Of course, the houses of the civilians that have suffered have become ruins.

How do media from all sides describe the crazy actions of the Third Reich in Germany? They were stunned and could only sigh.

"The bombing cycle and bomb dropping volume are terrifying, and it is hard to imagine that under that situation, there will be established troops that can be hidden. In fact, every insider knows one thing that no longer has troops in those areas to resist the German landings."

"British officials have always believed that the Germans did not have the courage to send troops to the British Isles, and they insisted that the Third Reich was bluffing! Many officials even claimed that the Germans did not have the idle intention to manage Britain, the Soviets that the Germans were about to deal with, and that they had intelligence that could explain the truth? Perhaps in the near future they would pay a heavy price for their judgment."

"Let's count down. In the south of England, how many areas are the German bombing targets? Which areas are they mainly placed on the bombing targets? It can be said that it is unimaginable! The Germans have many bombing locations, and it is almost impossible to judge where they will choose the landing location. However, it can be confirmed that the reason why the Germans worked tirelessly to bomb was definitely to clear the obstacles to landing. The British immediately understood this and it was difficult to recover. They did not have enough planes to compete with the German air force."

"In the past war situation, the Commonwealth - no! It should be said that the entire Allies, their air force was defeated again and again, and was defeated so badly that they had no power to fight back. In this situation, although the Commonwealth had an absolute numerical advantage, it was still difficult to enter the English Channel without the cooperation of the aircraft. There - the English Channel were German submarines and bombers waiting for them."

"It was not that Britain had thought of using an advantageous navy to win back the defeat! Just as the Germans said, "The form of war has undergone a complete change. If you control the sky, you will control everything. Yes, the British failed to try it. When their fleet appeared, they caused a flies to be like a flies. The British waved their fly swatter but were bitten to their heads. In the harbor and in the ocean, no warship could escape the group of guys who were whistling in the sky. Without regaining the decay in the air, it would be difficult for the British to usher in spring."

While various countries were lamenting, military strategists were summoned one after another. What they saw was a different war pattern from the past. The Germanic blitzkrieg had already made them illuminate. This time, the Air Force, which used its absolute advantage, forced Britain to gain a new understanding.

After Roosevelt came to power, the United States had made many remarks that "should help the British with help." In fact, the United States has been transfusions to Britain and its allies. A recent "loan bill" will soon change from documentary to actual power with the efforts of both Roosevelt and Churchill. However, given the indiscriminate bombardment of Britain by the Axis powers, few people in the United States are willing to believe how long Britain can last, which has led to many plans proposed by Roosevelt being unable to pass in parliament.

Considering the attitude of the United States, the Third German Empire, which had the advantage, changed its vocal attitude in the past and put a lot of pressure on the international and even in Asia. The Third German Empire at present definitely does not want the United States to suddenly intervene.

At about two o'clock in the morning, not only in Calais, but also in various air force bases in Paris, Amiens, Rouen, Evre, Caen, Cherbourg and even in Norway and Spain, there are planes preparing to take off for the final preparations.

In more places, the simple runways that were sorted out, the cabin doors of the planes were opened, and teams of soldiers entered one after another, and then the propellers of the plane were started. With the "buzzing" roar, the planes went from running to lift off, and the area was circling and rendezvous. Within the length of time, the entire sky was covered with transport planes and gliders riding on paratroopers.

Among the current troops, some aircraft carrying tin foil strips began to sprinkle, which was to interfere with the undestroyed British radar.

As the leader of the entire military operation, the soldiers of the "Imperial Scimitar" paratrooper division must have sharp blades. At this time, most soldiers chose to lean on the wall of the machine to close their eyes to rest, while some people were desperately smoking cigarettes to relieve their excitement.

"I shouldn't take airsickness medicine. I feel it's okay if I don't take it, but I feel dizzy after taking it."

A new man complained in a low voice with a bitter face, which caused the veterans to roll their eyes and laughter.

"Joseph is a fool. I hope he won't fall into the haystack and fall asleep after he succeeds in the airborne. Last time, a guy was allergic to drugs and fell into a ditch after landing. He slept all day and night."

The recruit was curious: "How did that person happen to him later?"

I don't know who said: "That lucky guy magically captured a whole platoon of Greek infantry alone."

The laughter resounded throughout the belly of the machine.

Xinding followed the laughter awkwardly. As a supplementary soldier, he felt that he had improved a lot now and no longer had the fear of a war.

I don't know who shouted "Look! Below..." The soldiers squatted up and pushed their heads towards the glass window. They saw many objects moving on the sea under the night. Among the dense warships, there were many tankers who were towing the boat and pulling some strange things.

The dragged things are not carried by barges for soldiers. There are a lot of plywood made of extreme foam, and some objects similar to floating turrets are mixed in. It is not difficult to imagine that those things are supplies that will be used to build "artificial ports". These "artificial ports" will be destined to make the world's eyes shine again in this military operation.
