"Stand up." With a password, the soldier sitting on the lawn began to climb slowly. Carrying a parachute bag on their backs, they also wore tactical vests, grenades, bayonets and water bottles. There are also ammunition bags, field tents and raincoats, all kinds of food and so on.
This is the most standard configuration of German paratroopers, and is carefully trained in accordance with the requirements of the head of state. Two out of ten of these people have blasting expertise, and the other two have received radio training. Nearly half of these people are equipped with the latest mp-44 assault rifles, and the other half use g43 semi-automatic rifles and mg42 machine guns.
Here I have to explain why this machine gun born in 1932 is called "42". This is completely a horrifying expression of many people in the head of the Akah. He likes another time and space mg42 type general machine gun, so I put this The machine gun born under his supervision was named mg42.
The successful development of the German mg42 machine gun is actually an important breakthrough in firearm production technology. The designer of this machine gun, Grunov himself, is not a gun designer, he is an expert in metal stamping technology.
When Akado found him, he thought from a professional perspective that according to the traditional gun manufacturing process-that is, using mechanical processing, a solid piece of metal is processed by a lathe, milling machine, etc., and it is wasteful to cut off unnecessary parts. Material, and spend a lot of man-hours, it is difficult to meet such needs.
In this traditional manufacturing process, the metal utilization rate is only about 25%, so he made a statement to Akado that he believes that machine guns are manufactured by metal stamping technology is an inevitable trend. The head of state was very satisfied with his concept and ordered him to design the new machine gun. In practice, the mg42 produced by the metal stamping process not only saves materials and working hours, but also becomes more compact. This is very practical for Germany, which lacks metal resources.
However, when mg42 was just born and equipped with troops, in the eyes of spies in the West lurking in Europe, this was actually a crude weapon, a patchwork of pieces of iron and an iron pipe. At that time, the flake-like reports flew to Washington and London, and the content was the same: Germany was no longer good. They were extremely lacking in raw materials. Even the tactical core machine guns used such crude and rough manufacturing technology.
This machine gun was used by the German military to describe its excellence with three superlative adjectives: "the shortest time, the lowest cost, but it is the best weapon".
The shooting speed of the mg42 machine gun is at least 1200 rounds per minute and the highest is 1500 rounds. After the machine gun's shooting speed exceeds 1,000 rounds per minute, people cannot distinguish the sound of a single gun. The shooting sound of the mg42 is not like the Czech or Browning machine guns. The "click" sound is like the "chirping" sound of a high-speed rotating chainsaw, a bit like the sound of tearing a large piece of linen.
Because of the high rate of fire of mg42, the shooter can fire 12 to 15 bullets each time the trigger pulls the trigger. If an unfortunate soldier is shot by mg42, he will be shot several times in a flash, and the life may be very small. . In the actual combat in Poland, because of its high rate of fire, mg42 is not only easy to deal with small stock targets, but also very effective against group targets.
The German paratroopers helped each other to form a queue, and began to board the ju-52 transport aircraft waiting for them in an orderly manner. An aircraft can carry 12 German paratroopers, which are fully armed, and can also short two large packages at the same time. Supplies. In order to transport more paratroopers into the enemy-occupied area at one time, these ju-52s also towed a wooden structured glider to transport six additional soldiers.
The Germans pneumatically used 610 ju-52 transport planes to transport the ready paratroopers. In this battle, Germany will drop 10,000 paratroopers into the Netherlands in one breath, and the subsequent second wave of attacks is no less than this number. This operation will be the largest paratrooper operation in human history to date. Germany used a total of two paratrooper divisions for a total of 30,000 people to ensure that the entire Netherlands was captured without fail.
Winning the Netherlands will be the key to the success of the entire Western Front offensive operations. Lundstedt knew very well that if he could not occupy the Netherlands for the first time, then as a giant port, the United Kingdom would transport batches of troops to the European continent. Operation Sickle also declared bankruptcy.
So this time General Studen will be ordered to complete the most difficult airdrop mission. His paratroopers must cooperate with the German Group B military to capture the Netherlands in the shortest time. Studen even went to the Stone Fort in person a few days ago, where he and Head of State Akado confirmed all the targets of the attack.
Borol, as a veteran with actual combat experience, is now a paratrooper squad leader. This time he has very experienced fixing the rifle to his chest instead of tying it to the luggage under the leg to help . He sorted out the magazines and grenades on his chest, confirmed the position of the pistol, then pulled out the bayonet and carefully checked it, and fixed it back to the shoulder position.
In addition to his own 4 veterans, the parachute he commanded took 7 recruits. This is also the best configuration that can be made now. As the squad leader, he wanted to stay in the position of the plane door, so his soldiers were walking in front of him. Soon he helped the penultimate soldier to climb the plane with difficulty, and then he had a little difficulty getting on the plane by himself. The people on it took a lot of effort to get him on the plane.
With the movement of the plane, they all knew that their plane had taken off. Through the fuselage window twice, Borol could clearly see another plane flying on their side. Soon their plane saw the wing cut through the white clouds, and in the distance, at least a dozen ju-52 planes were seen flying in formation.
On the constantly bumpy plane, Borol was confirming his attack target with his deputy squad leader. The loud noise made their conversation loud.
"After landing, if you can't find me, set up a defensive position here and then gather the troops as much as possible." Borol drew a mark on the map with a thick pencil: "We must occupy this village, understand? ? "
"The task of our platoon is to occupy the village here and build a perimeter defensive position to protect the bridge." His deputy shouted loudly: "But if only us, it would be insufficient to take down the village."
"Relax, this time the Air Force will not leave us in a messy position!" Borol said with a big smile: "In the absence of me, if you have insufficient strength, you are responsible for taking someone back to the bridge to find the battalion. is that OK?"
"Okay," the assistant monitor replied loudly.
"Enter Dutch airspace! Gentlemen, pay attention to your seat belts." The co-pilot of the plane turned back and loudly reminded the paratroopers behind through the open back door: "The Air Force just came to warn that the Dutch air defense forces are attacking us. . "
"Check the seat belt! I need you to fix yourself firmly on the plane! There will be enemy artillery attacks in a moment, everyone need not be nervous ..." Borol's words were not finished, there was a shot not far from the air The shell exploded. The loud explosion sound can be heard even in the noisy cabin.
"Don't panic! Keep your posture!" Borol stood up hard and walked to the door, holding the handrail and staring at all his own hands: "This kind of density of anti-aircraft gun fire is impossible to hit Of our plane! "
And as he said this, a glider that was dragging behind the ju-52 transport plane on their left was hit by a shell, and the six German paratroopers were scattered in the sky full of fire. Come on, and the glider has only one nose left behind the tail of the ju-52 transport plane.
"Who started to sing a song?" Borol felt that God was joking with himself and asked a little helplessly. A soldier sang the song of the German airborne soldiers and was rejected by Borol: "This sang too many times! Change one!"
"Ah, who marched in the enemy area and sang the devil's song?" A veteran sang holding mp-44.
"This is good!" Borol nodded and agreed, and then he sang along: "A soldier stood on the shore of the Oder, silently humming. Whistling, we walked back and forth. The whole world may , Curse or praise us-let them do it. No matter where we are, let us move on! And the devil laughs like this: Hahahahaha. "
With the singing, it seems that everyone's mood has become slightly better, and the recruits also sang the march "Green Devil" of the German paratrooper: "We fight for Germany, for freedom and honor. We will make the enemy Can't rest, no matter how far the marching route is, we will soon join the battle. Resolutely, always ready to fight, attack during the day and night! Firmly, bravely hold the rifle, assault enemy positions! , We face death. The enemies are finally cleared and the corpses pile up. No matter where we are, let us move on, we move on. And the devil laughs like this: Hahahahaha. "
The song was sung repeatedly, and as time went on, the red preparation alert in the cabin lighted up, and Borol issued a command loudly: "Stand up!"
The plane was shaking, and all the paratroopers had stood up. They inspected their equipment and fastened the messy equipment that was carried by others. The red lights on the plane kept flashing. Reminds paratroopers in the cabin that this trip to the Netherlands is a very dangerous task.
Seeing everyone stand up, Borol continued to give his orders aloud: "Last inspection of equipment! Everyone confirms the parachute! Start!"
"Number One! Finished!" "Number Two! Finished!" "Number Three! Finished!" ... "Number One! Finished!" ...
"Gentlemen! Get ready! We will sing this song while parachuting! Now! We will meet our Dutch enemies when we go down." Borol shouted loudly.
