Chapter 975: Waiting for the glider

When I jumped down from above, feeling the breeze blowing, everyone felt very cold.
When skydiving, the weight is restricted. If the weight underneath is too large, the falling speed will increase, which may lead to parachuting accidents. Now, they dare not wear thick military coats, although they are leather jackets, they are quite The cold.
When his feet touched the top of the mountain, Eric felt his feet soft and stepped on the snowdrift, which was pretty good!
If you step on the hard ice, you might break your legs, but now, stepping on the soft snow can provide enough cushioning.
Eric put away his parachute and buried it in the snowdrift. If the parachute is found, it will definitely be searched by a large force. A small team like them may be at risk.
Next, the first thing he had to solve was to find the equipment he had just thrown down, and to join up with several other people!
After walking for more than 20 minutes in the snow, he was very lucky and found a package with thick warm coats of four people!
Putting on his clothes quickly, his body immediately felt warm, and then his good luck ended here.
It was not until dawn to rendezvous with the second friend, and the four people reunited and collected all kinds of equipment, including searching for the most important telegraph. It took two days!
Can not make a fire, can only eat hard bread, the water is frozen, can only eat snow, relying on strong perseverance, a few people finally overcome various difficulties.
"Tonight, we touched the vicinity of the chemical plant, marked it, and waited for our glider to arrive." Eric said to several others. Although they were seriously exhausted, each of them was excited.
The equipment is complete, now it's time to go to the chemical plant!
Why don't they use gliders when they come down? Because this is a mountainous area, they simply can't find a suitable landing site at night. Only when they parachute down and guide the glider's landing site to the people behind can they guide the glider to land.
At the same time, the explosives and other equipment of the real heavy water plant are also transported by gliders.
One foot is deep and the other is shallow. A few people walked towards the foot of the mountain. The altitude here is 1,300 meters. So although summer is about to enter, the mountains in high-altitude areas are still covered with land. Snowy.
In the mountains and forests here, almost no people came, but a few people still walked cautiously. Eric was familiar with the terrain here. He was the guide in front and walked in the mountains and forests for six hours. The sky was about to brighten. At last, when the branches of the big tree were pushed aside, a clearing appeared in front of them. A few hundred meters in front of the clearing was the Vemok factory.
Near the factory, no guards can be seen, it's no different from before! Eric was very excited and shouted to the person behind him: "Peter, immediately telegraph back to them and tell them that we have reached the designated location and the landing site has not changed!"
The gliding opportunity carries enough explosives. After landing from here, a charge can hit the heavy water factory, which can completely blow up the entire heavy water factory. When the Germans reacted, they had retreated safely!
Peter, carrying a heavy telegraph, set up the telegraph and wore headphones. Next to him, another companion extended the antenna high up to the branch of the tree trunk.
"Didi, Dididi." Soon, the telegram was sent out. Almost ten minutes later, he received an echo: "Tonight, we will make a mark and wait for the glider. It will be around eleven o'clock. Arrivals."
Dongfang has turned pale, they will carry out this mission as long as they survive a day or night here!
He put the telegram away again, only to see a signal light above it began to flicker. Suddenly, his face changed slightly: "No, our telegraph battery is dead."
Most of the equipment in this era is made of electronic tubes. Only Germany has entered the era of transistors ahead of time. This is also quite confidential.
Electronic tubes consume a lot of power. These days they wandered around in the mountains. The cold and humid weather reduced the power storage capacity of the battery. Now, after sending the telegram, they actually ran out of power!
"It doesn't matter, we have completed the task." Eric comforted his subordinates, we don't need radio contact tonight, just wait here for the glider.
Eric didn't know that their waiting was not a day, but a full three months!
Swallow's telegram was long overdue, but the news still made Stevenson, who had arrived in Greenland and personally come to command, so excited, he immediately ordered to get ready to go!
Last time I just used a light aircraft ~EbookFREE.me~ to drop four paratroopers, but this time, it is necessary to drop two large gliders!
In history, the British used the Halifax bomber, a four-engine heavy bomber, to perform this task very easily, but unfortunately, with the early occupation of Britain by Germany, this bomber never came out.
At the same time, in order to avoid political troubles, the United States provided the C-47 transport aircraft, which is exactly the same as the DC-3 used in civil aviation. In the event of an accident, it can be covered.
At the same time, the "Hosha" glider, the proudest of the British in World War II, successfully flew. This glider with a wingspan of 27 meters can carry 32 infantry or 3.2 tons of combat equipment, and also has not entered the trial production stage.
The British assault pair can use the CG-4 military glider developed by the United States. This kind of glider can carry 2 crew members and 13 infantrymen. In this way, one sortie has 15 people, and two gliders can hold 30 people. It should be said that there is no problem in blowing up the Vemok chemical plant.
It was bitterly cold at night in Greenland. Stevenson stood in the snow-covered airport, watching the plane about to leave.
The Norwegian boys seem to be full of energy. The cold wind cannot make them retreat. The arduous task will only inspire greater courage!
"You guys, history will remember you. To win this world war, you are about to fight the bravest battle." Stevenson said to them: "Now, let's go and blow up the evil enemy. factory!"
The soldiers turned around and ran on the glider. Finally, Friedjov, who was on the glider, closed the door, looked at the lights on the runway outside through the narrow cabin, and retreated quickly. ()
