In fact, the Greek defenders have very limited troops. On Crete, there is only one British infantry battalion as the core guard force. The rest of the troops are even uniform in rifle model caliber, while the local defender general is still An old general who doesn't quite understand modern warfare.
For the first time, Greek infantry saw such parachutes flying in the sky, and for the first time found that the war they faced had completely changed. The German paratroopers can be said to be very elite offensive forces, and the weapons in their hands are considered to be the most advanced weapons.
Crete is full of bunkers and fortifications used to defend against German attacks. These bunkers and fortifications were very strong defense systems during the First World War era, and almost no army could quickly break through these defensive zones. But in front of the German attackers, these bunkers had become as fragile as paper.
The German paratroopers have a recoilless gun with a caliber of 75 mm. This is a new type of flat-firing weapon. It is used to deal with the enemy's fixed firepower in the distance. The only disadvantage of this type of artillery is that it will ignite huge smoke after launching, which is easy to attract revenge attacks from the other aircraft. It is a pity that the entire Crete is covered by German aircraft, and this defect is no longer a problem.
This artillery and large-caliber 120 mm mortar can be installed on a modified airborne military barrel truck, which has strong mobility and is not heavy. Soldiers can use human power to temporarily mobile.
Even if the flat-fired 75 good caliber recoilless gun cannot reach the position in time, the iron fist rocket launchers that have been widely used by German paratroopers can solve the enemy machine gun bunkers that cannot be overcome. Destroying the entire machine gun bunker can also create smoke and vibration, making the other people in the bunker useless.
"Open the fire! Do not let the Germans in!" A Greek officer shouted loudly hiding in the command tower. He and his troops were ordered to station around a field airport in Crete, and were ordered to repel any enemy forces that attempted to occupy the airport. Originally this airport was to be blown up immediately after the German attack began, but because the Greek commander did not agree with this plan, he hoped to leave the airport to ensure that his fighter can continue to interfere with the possible large-scale landing, so this bombing The airport ’s decision was ultimately lost.
Sadly, within 10 hours, the Allied aircraft on Crete were cleared by the Luftwaffe, all the aircraft that dared to take off were shot down by the German ace pilots, and the performance of both aircraft was not the same. This is what makes the air combat of Crete tragic and abnormal, and the pilots of the Greek Air Force are full of Tang Jidi de charm.
However, the Greek commander saw the huge German glider landed on the hillside not far away, and saw the German paratroopers scattered like dandelions in the sky. At the beginning, hundreds of thousands, and later became thousands. Million. These German airborne troops stormed the air defense positions around the airport, but did not rush to attack this vital field airport.
Just when the Greek defenders were surprised, a soldier looked at the sky in horror and reminded everyone loudly: "Oh my God! What is that? What is that?" His words caught everyone's attention. The soldiers who were filling the guns with ammunition followed their heads and looked at the sky in the distance.
The Greek commander also raised his head and stared at the aircraft that kept approaching the airport in the distance, not knowing what to say. The huge propellers turned horizontally above the planes. These planes were not fast, but the roar of the engine was a bit desperate.
A horrifying scene finally appeared. These crusader helicopters from Germany hovered over the airport. At the beginning, they appeared to be several models with heavy armor. The planes were hung with small calibers on both sides. Rocket shells, with 13 mm heavy machine guns with shields on both sides.
The machine gun began to fire at the ground targets, knocking out groups of Greek soldiers in the trenches and behind the bunkers. The huge firepower gap left these Greek soldiers at a loss. They raised their rifles to fire on the helicopters, but found that their rifles seemed to cause little harm to the other party's aircraft.
"Suddenly! Suddenly!" A heavy machine gun hidden in the dark opened fire on the sky, which is one of the few heavy weapons in the hands of the Greek defenders. The bullet flew into the sky, leaving a row of clear bullet holes on the helicopter. A German soldier operating a machine gun was shot down. The helicopter immediately began to adjust its flying height and turned sharply away. battlefield.
Before the Greek soldiers cheered, more German helicopters in the sky entered the firing position. A helicopter suddenly opened fire, and seven or eight small-caliber rockets swept toward the firing position of the Greek heavy machine gun.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!" The rocket fired thick smoke and flames, flying out of the flying rocket nests on both wings of the helicopter, and flying towards their targets. Although the spread was relatively large, because the distance was only very close, the target area Soon a huge burst of smoke rose.
The German Army Air Force found the best way to use helicopters, that is, after the huge air force destroyed the enemy ’s air defense firepower, and the paratroopers had disrupted the battlefield and involved the other party ’s defensive strength, they were delivered by helicopter. Force control is a crucial strategic goal, such as airports, railway stations, ports and other facilities. Because the opposing air defense firepower has been destroyed, the suppression firepower provided by the helicopter can be effective enough to cover the troops it carries for ground operations.
So in the context of a large-scale war in World War II, helicopters are no longer anti-tank killers, they have become the ultimate weapon for sweeping guerrillas and supporting paratroopers. It does not require heavy armor defense or advanced guided firepower. Its purpose is to rush to the airborne area with powerful armaments. After all, nothing is stronger than nothing at this time.
More helicopters came from a distance, and more than a dozen helicopters with armor protection joined the suppression of the ground. Obviously they assigned tasks in advance and took all possible ground threats from all angles. Cleared, some were using machine guns to expel Greek infantry on the ground, and some were using rockets to clear some stubborn bunker bunkers.
Then helicopters descended and dropped ropes, and German soldiers slid one by one from these helicopters. Akado had seen such exercises. For a time, he was spawned by the progress of the times and the war. Wisdom was shocked to say nothing. He seemed to see a picture of the American special forces landing in the 21st century. However, in this scene, it was the German soldiers with m35 helmets that were sliding off the plane.
The huge airflow blows away the dust on the ground, and the dust is rolled up in the distance. The first German soldier with two feet on the ground may be because he did not stand firm, or it may be because he was afraid of being hit. It was awkward to fall to the ground. Immediately following the landing of the first soldier, he picked up his gun and quickly ran to the intended target.
"The first squad! Right! Right! Occupy the machine gun position over there! The second squad! Come with me! Attack! Attack!" Not far away, another helicopter was also sliding along the rope Under the soldiers, there was obviously a commander in the team. He immediately assigned the task loudly as soon as he landed, and the German soldiers near him were also neatly divided into two teams, and bowed toward different targets.
The infantry who landed the German helicopters were all wearing goggles and covered with black gauze. It was not intended to imitate the dress of the modern special forces, but because the soldiers might be attracted to the eyes or choke at the entrance because of the dust blown up by the helicopter airflow during the exercise, so they had to choose a fashionable dress.
"No matter what that is! Fire! Fire! Kill those Germans! Hurry!" The Greek officer first responded and quickly issued a combat command. He wanted to grab the phone to contact the headquarters and tell the commander-in-chief to explode. Drop the other airport. But when he grabbed the phone, there was no sound in the phone.
Outside the house, two German Special Forces soldiers stood on the telephone line. The communication box also read "Caution, wire!", And the cut telephone line was still swaying back and forth. One of them was armed with an assault rifle to guard the surroundings. One of them also had the pliers that had just been used, and his dry lips were cracked to reveal white teeth. They arrived secretly in another helicopter, the purpose of which was to cut off communications and disrupt local battlefields.
The Greek officer desperately dropped the phone in his hand, and then saw two helicopters aiming sideways at the control tower of his airport in the distance. The muzzle of two black holes of 13mm aerial machine guns was pointed nearby, and the Greek officer felt his situation was very bad.
With the dazzling flames of flame sprayed from the helicopter opposite, the airport control tower was immediately overturned by the steel torrent. The large-caliber machine gun is matched with full-power ammunition, and its destructive power can be described as horror. Only a few seconds later, there is no more breathable life in the entire command tower. The Greek commander was hit by a bullet into the sieve in the first time, and even a scream was not able to be issued.
At the risk of being shot down, 110 German Crusaders helicopters appeared over the battlefield. These planes were loaded with a large number of weapons, ammunition and soldiers. The ground target, the German army dropped down quickly occupied an allied field airport on Crete.
