Chapter 442 The Brave Is Invincible

When the east was white, the huge fortress had already appeared in front of Ross.

Their actions are just in time! The sky is bright, and you can visually find your own target, while the opponent has no defense!

Moreover, although Ross's gliders took off twice, the second time they were towed by Stuka bombers. They flew at a higher altitude and took less time to float over.

Therefore, this plane was the first to fly over.

Of course, that is the matter of the front and rear feet, and the other gliders are almost behind them.

When taking off, they need to rely on the wheels, and when they start getting off 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 need a runway, and it needs to be long enough, the target is not that wide at all, so they can only use unconventional landing methods!

"Attention, it's about to land." The glider had no power, and there was no sound. Rose's voice reached 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. At this time, it is overgrown with weeds.

If there is a wheel, the length of 900 meters is simply not enough, and now, the DFS 230 glider that has thrown away the wheel, under the belly, is a sturdy heavy skid, it can be said that this landing is a complete head-to-head. 's landing.

To further reduce drag, a large amount of wire was wound around the skid, a measure that was temporarily added before takeoff.

When they landed, the impact force was very strong. After being reminded by Ross, everyone in the cabin clenched the grips around them. They were waiting for that final landing to arrive.

The height is a bit high. In order to land, Ross had to push the lever down, change it to a dive, and make a quick dive at a steep angle! This allows you to land and stop within a short distance.

The platform is getting bigger and bigger. At this time, Ross is completely focused. If he can't land on it, the glider without power will not be able to go around again and land again.

Must be accurate!

As an excellent glider pilot, Ross is quite sure that in training, he can land in a space of 20 meters around the center of the target circle, which is quite accurate.

This time, of course, is no exception!

Keep sliding!

The platform was getting bigger and bigger, and Ross could already see the grass fluttering in the wind at the top. Then, he felt the force of a huge impact.

The sled has been in close contact with the platform at the top of the fortress!

A hard landing! The glider, with its sturdy steel tubular body, took on the impact of this collision. The skid below, on the top of the platform, drew two marks, and the grass below was fragmented.

The glider continued to slide forward, the speed became slower and slower, and finally, it stopped!

A successful landing! Ross stopped the glider to the top center of the platform, with an error of almost two meters!

"Quick, quick, quick!" Lieutenant Weickig shouted loudly as he watched his subordinates, armed with assault rifles, file out of the opening on the side of the glider.

A few years ago, at the Moscow military parade, the Soviet airborne troops fell from the sky, which greatly shocked the military officials of other countries, and all countries began to establish airborne troops.

However, Germany is thinking.

After many drills, the German military concluded that when raiding a small tactical target, the use of light assault gliders to conduct airborne landings has a greater advantage than parachuting with parachutes.

Because the parachute is too slow, it takes a long time for the paratroopers to slowly fall from the air to the ground, and they are passively beaten, which is easy to cause casualties.

Even if it landed safely, it would be difficult to quickly gather combat power due to the scattered landing sites. In addition, the paratroopers had to remove the parachute and search for separately released weapons and equipment, which took quite a long time, which was easy to delay the fighter plane and greatly reduced the effect of the raid.

The airborne troops seem to have fallen from the sky and are quite imposing, but in fact their combat effectiveness is not high.

However, the situation is completely different when using a glider.

The biggest problem with parachuting is that it is too scattered, while gliders can be precisely positioned, and they can easily land near the target.

Another advantage is that as long as the landing, the fully armed airborne can jump out of the glider and enter the battle immediately. Also, they are inside a glider and can carry more weapons than a parachute!

For parachuting, the transport plane has to fly over the target, there is a huge noise, and the glider has no engine noise. If the attack is launched at night, it can quietly reach the target area without the enemy's knowledge, so as to achieve near perfection surprise effect.

In this era, other countries have not paid attention to gliders, but the German airborne troops have used it to create a miracle!

When the eastern sky just lit up, the German assault detachment had come to the top of the most important Eben-Emar fortress, they filed out, and in front of them, a Belgian sentry, widened Eyes, mouth open, staring blankly at these Germans who fell from the sky.

He was already stunned. At this moment, his surprise occupied his mind. He didn't expect that the Germans could come by these iron birds, which was like a dream.

So much so that he didn't even think of raising the alarm, and the German commandos rushed down from the glider.

"Da da da." The assault rifle in the German soldier's hand, a short shot, a 6.8mm bullet, swept him down. When his body fell back, he suddenly realized that the war , has already started.

In the back, gliders descended from the sky in quite thrilling movements, collided with the platform, accelerated, stopped, and when they stopped, the German soldiers above came out.

"No!" shouted a German soldier, who saw a glider falling behind, and under the influence of a crosswind, it was about to slip off the side of the platform!

At this time, the pilot pressed the operating lever hard. In a violent collision, the glider landed and continued to glide toward the edge of the platform. The front end was already suspended from the upper end of the platform. Fortunately, it stopped.

The soldiers inside ran out quickly. They didn't care that they had just walked on the edge of death. They only remembered their mission!
