Chapter 439: Planned accident


The last beacon on Mount Fejau in the northwest of the connection between Aachen and Aachen is lonely.
This is the last one, and if you go forward, you won't see more, because it's Belgium already!
This is the separation point of the glider. In order to prevent the Belgian army from detecting the sound of the aircraft engine, the glider will begin to glide alone and covertly fly over the Cape of Maastricht in the Netherlands.
However, the weather conditions gave them a joke.
It has always been easterly winds here, they are flying against the wind, but today, it is unexpectedly westerly wind!
In this way, it became a tailwind, and as a result, they flew all the way, ten minutes earlier than expected!
In this way, it cannot be synchronized with the overall attack. At the same time, because of the tailwind, the altitude of the aircraft is too low, only about two kilometers. According to estimates, it must be two thousand six hundred meters before the glider can glide properly. The angle flies to the target.
But now, the altitude is not enough, they have to continue to tow the glider forward, power flying for a period of time, can let the glider have a greater certainty to land there.
You know, this time their glider will fly nearly 100 kilometers without power!
Therefore, the Junker-52 transport aircraft, at the final separation point, did not immediately release the glider, but continued to advance.
The three engines were roaring, and the flight of the large piles of Junker-52 transport planes was even more dynamic.
The plane flew over the national border, headed over the Netherlands, and continued to fly.
"Glide away!" After continuing to fly for more than ten kilometers, the transport plane finally completed its mission.
Swing the wing, tell the glider unit behind that, behind, the skilled pilots pressed the switch and the rope was released.
The gliders that have broken away from the rope lose all their power and glide all relying on the advantage brought by altitude. Because of the downwind, their gliding is very smooth.
The gliders left the transport plane that towed them and embarked on their journey.
Behind Hans, the glider he was towing also broke away. At this time, the sky was still pitch black, but within a few minutes, the east would turn pale.
The glider separated from the transport plane flew in a predetermined direction. After dawn, they could land on the target visually. At this moment, suddenly, there was a fierce gunfire from below.
"Boom, boom!"
With the sound of artillery fire, from the ground to the sky, a strip of bright light was drawn, that is the tracer of the anti-aircraft artillery!
The Dutch army discovered the arrival of these aircraft. Instinctively, they thought it was a bomber coming, so all the antiaircraft artillery fired into the air!
The searchlight emits a bunch of beams towards the sky. If it is covered by the searchlight, then the aircraft will be in trouble. Followed by the antiaircraft artillery shells, the aircraft will be torn apart.
A Junker-52 transport plane, unfortunately, fell into the beam of the searchlight, and it flew crookedly, making all kinds of escape actions, but the other party was already watching him!
Our own transport plane is facing risks.
Seeing this, Hans, who was originally in the dark, immediately made a decision.
Pushing the joystick, Stuka began to dive down, and as the speed increased, the sharp sound of the whistle resounded through the sky in the fixed landing gear.
Stuka, it's Stuka!
Suddenly, the Dutch soldiers operating the searchlights lost their composure. In the past few years, where such sounds sounded, it meant that they would encounter terrible bombing!
How to do?
If the searchlights are turned off at this time, they will be safe. In the dark, even the antiaircraft artillery only exposes the target when it fires, but the searchlights are always revealing their position.
However, if they turn off the searchlights, then their own antiaircraft artillery will become blind, unable to kill the bombers in the sky.
They can't close, they have to persist!
At this moment, the howling became sharper, and then, a few hundred meters above the head, a ball of fire burst out.
In order to tow the glider, Stuka did not carry bombs, but he still had a fixed cannon that he could use. When diving down almost vertically from the sky, his attack accuracy was quite high.
"Da da da," with the flames on the wings, a shuttle of mg17 aviation machine gun bullets swept across a line on the searchlight position. On the ground, there was a chirp sound. The line moved for half a meter. , And got in touch with the searchlight.
"Boom," the glass of the searchlight exploded, followed by the rupture of the bulb, and as the bulb broke, the searchlight went black.
At this moment, countless antiaircraft guns had already aimed at the covered Junker-52, and the sky was dark almost when it was about to fire.
The Junker-52 transport plane that had survived, quickly turned left, left the terrible airspace, and accelerated its return.
At this time, Hans continued to dive and shoot towards the ground. As long as there is an anti-aircraft gun, he will appear!
When a searchlight hit Hans, he dived into the searchlight without hesitation~EbookFREE.me~ to kill the opponent! His skilful ground attack skills completely scared the searchlight soldiers on the ground.
A bomber actually caused the entire antiaircraft artillery position to go blind!
At this time, all the transport aircraft left the Dutch airspace, while the glider continued to fly forward.
The sound of high artillery here also alarmed the defenders inside the Eben-Emaar fortress.
For them, this is a sleepless night.
Since the German invasion plan was intercepted, the German plan to cross Belgium to attack France, even if it was leaked, is the most important fortress in Belgium, and it is the focus of the German attack.
Although Belgium still has hope for peace, the troops are also ready, and guarding this fortress is the defense force of 1,200 men belonging to the 7th Infantry Division.
They are still full of confidence in guarding this fortress.
All personnel can be in a bunker below 5 meters above the ground, and are equipped with drinking water, food and a large amount of ammunition for long-term use. Unless it is a huge naval gun of 400 mm or more, this fortress can be destroyed.
At this time, Major Bridgetland, the commander of the fortress, was listening to the sound of anti-aircraft artillery fire in the distance. For him, this was a signal that war was about to start!
"Attention, the German bombers may come." Major Bridgetland made his own judgment.
In fact, this kind of night bombing will not have much effect. After all, the bombing accuracy in the dark is too small. Although the sky outside will soon be bright, there are still antiaircraft artillery here. After dawn, high The gun can deal with the opposing bomber.
In air defense, they don't need to think too much. Like other fortresses, their most important thing is to deal with the enemy's ground forces.
He didn't know, he was so wrong this time.
