Chapter 1628 Special Operations Mission
"Good luck to you." There was a call from the towing plane in front of the radio, and with this sound, the wire rope in front of the tow suddenly loosened.
Gliders, like kites, continue to fly forward in the sky.
In each of the gliders, there are soldiers of the Griffin Special Forces who are ready to go. They have to come to training at least once a month for such operations, and they have long been accustomed to it.
Trust your own pilots completely.
The aircraft is unpowered and can only glide slowly by taking advantage of the altitude. At the same time, the pilot should find the landing site as soon as possible and glide with the most suitable trajectory.
The huge Me321 giant glider glides in the air like a bloated hippo, and the pilots have already seen the river beach in the distance, which is their best landing place.
"Attention, it's five minutes before landing, get ready to land," the pilot shouted loudly.
The landing of the glider is thrilling every time. Although the structure is made of steel pipes, it is strong enough. Every time it landed, it almost fell apart. For them, the landing was the first serious test.
Everyone was holding on to the handrail next to them, preparing for a horrific crash.
Maurice's face was covered in camouflage, his hand firmly grasped the handrail, and his body was constantly shaking with the bumps of the glider, thinking that when he was a new soldier, he was with Skoll. At Zine's side, Skorzeny used wine to fill him with courage, and now he is a mature veteran.
He closed his eyes, enjoying the last peace, and after they landed, their battle began.
Most of the gliders are equipped with a Panther 2 tank in the middle. After all, they are fighting a tough battle this time. However, not all gliders carry this kind of equipment. In the glider where Morris is, they are all His subordinates, a company, more than 100 people, this glider is enough.
"Look, there's one more minute to land."
The attitude of the fuselage continued to tilt, and the pilot relied on the resistance of the fuselage to quickly reduce the speed of the aircraft, and then took a graceful glide line towards the river beach.
For the airborne troops, the choice of the landing site is very important. If they fall into the ambush of the opponent, it is quite dangerous. In the history of World War II, almost every airborne operation was full of crises.
However, compared with direct parachuting, the danger of glider landing is greatly reduced. If they encounter anti-aircraft artillery on the ground, they can avoid it. If they encounter an ambush of ground troops, they only need to fall to the ground and the main battle tank Will teach the enemy how to behave.
It is precisely because of the powerful strategic bombers that they can drag these powerful tanks, and it is because of the tanks that their airborne troops have terrifying combat effectiveness.
There was a slight crash sound from the fuselage. This was a perfect landing. The wheel slid over a dozen meters on the river beach and stopped because of the huge resistance.
In the back, gliders, like a flock of birds, came densely towards the river beach.
"Quick, get off the plane and prepare to fight!" Morris greeted his subordinates.
Ordinary parachuting will waste a lot of time after landing, because after parachuting, the landing point is not under your control, but the glider is different. It can land at a fixed point, which is quite beneficial to the gathering of troops.
They must assemble quickly, form a battle formation, and head towards Stalingrad, posing as the main force of Germany.
Tanks one after another were driven out of the glider, and the diesel-powered engines gave them a good endurance. For the time being, there was no need to worry about the problem of fuel, and they could almost persist until the arrival of the Southern Corps from Kharkov.
"What? What's new?" Just before Morris landed, the first Skorzeny plane had already landed in the riverbank. Just as he was calling for the troops to gather, the radio operator received the latest update. 's telegram.
Just as they flew to Stalingrad, new conditions emerged in the city.
The intelligence personnel who were originally responsible for taking the lead for Khrushchev, contacting the German side, and discussing the surrender, found that Khrushchev was under control after he went to the tractor factory!
Now, the people from the tractor factory have contacted the headquarters, hoping that the senior military officials will go to the tractor factory to discuss the matter of continuing the fight, but these senior officials are afraid to go, and they hope that the people from the tractor factory will go to the headquarters. connect.
And the people from the tractor factory seemed to be afraid of something and didn't dare to go to the headquarters.
Controlling Khrushchev, the people from the tractor factory did a great job, but in the next action, they lost time. They should immediately call on the army and the people to continue the war of resistance, which will definitely get a response from the lower levels, but they However, there was a stalemate in discussions with other military officials.
This can't blame Mikhailov and others, because they are people in the factory, and the troops are two systems.
If Mikhailov declared himself to be the supreme commander of Stalingrad and continued the war with the following people, it would be against the rules. He was not appointed by the superior, and his order was also invalid, and it may not be promoted. Kai, after all, soldiers are strictly disciplined, and one cannot give orders to them.
Mikhailov could only contact the senior military officials, but unfortunately, Cuikov, who was the main battle, had already been killed.
The scene is deadlocked, and now is a good opportunity for Skorzeny.
At this time, the sun has already set in the west, and soon it will be dark.
"The most important thing now is to rescue Khrushchev." Skorzeny said, "As long as Khrushchev can get out of the control of the people in the tractor factory, he will turn his hand and take those people out. Kill them all, and at the same time, the surrender of Stalingrad can continue. Moreover, this is exactly what we are best at."
As special forces, they are definitely not good at large corps operations, but special operations. This kind of saving people is simply a must.
Skorzeny was already itching.
Now that he has to command an army of several thousand people, it is impossible for him to go there himself, and he has to send a competent man.
"Morris, come here!" Skorzeny shouted loudly: "Take your people, I have a task for you to do."
