It also can establish naval bases on the west coast of Norway to restrict the actions of the British navy, which ensures the security of Germany's attack on the northern wing of Western Europe. At the same time, it also enables the iron ore sand supplied to Germany by Sweden to be transported through the port of Narvik in northern Norway and transported to Germany via the Norwegian sea. Germany consumes 15 million tons of iron ore sand every year, of which 11 million tons are imported from Sweden through Norway.

In addition, the leader of the Norwegian National Congress Party and former Minister of Defense Gislin had long wanted to connect Norway and Germany into a "German-Scandinavian Community". This was exactly what Hitler wanted, and he was about to establish a "Great German Federation". So Hitler completely agreed to Li Mo's occupation plan based on several considerations.

Denmark and Norway are both small countries and weak national defense power. Denmark has only two infantry divisions and only 20,000 tons of naval ships. After signing a non-aggression treaty with Germany in 1935, Denmark believed that strengthening combat readiness would arouse Germany's suspicion, so it was not prepared for war. Norway had 6 infantry divisions, but were not satisfied and had a dispersed configuration. Two divisions were arranged near the capital Oslo, and the rest were arranged in Christiansson, Bergen, Trondheim and Narvik respectively.

In addition, there are 64 ships and 190 aircraft that have exceeded the age. Norway's defense combat plan is based on the British and French dispatch of expeditionary forces. Li Mo adopted a blitzkrieg against these weaknesses of Denmark and Norway, and used airborne troops in the blitzkrieg. Li Mo's blitzkrieg attack on Denmark and Norway's airborne operations will be the first large-scale airborne operations in the war history.

The airborne combat plan for the Weiser Exercise is divided into two phases:

In the first stage, paratroopers were used to airborne at strategic areas of Denmark to ensure that the troops landed at sea and troops crossing the border from the ground quickly advance. At the same time, another paratrooper force was used to seize important airports in southern Norway to ensure the main aircraft landing, and then assault the Norwegian port from behind. The landing troops arrived ashore.

Denmark is two parts, most of its territory is a peninsula, bordering Germany. The German armored division can push the ground, and paratroopers occupy the main bridge. However, the Denmark's capital Copenhagen is on a large island, and the air force and navy must be on a large island, so that the Denmark's capital can be forced to accept Germany's protection as soon as possible and withdraw from the British-French alliance.

The second phase will be airborne in central Norway and northern regions depending on the situation to ensure the rapid development of ground troops to the inland. The specific task of the airborne troops on the seventh day of the attack is: in Denmark, seize one airport on the east and west sides of Aalborg. These two airports are important springboards for air transport and attacking Norway, and at the same time, capture the Waldinburg Bridge, the gateway to the Denmark capital Copenhagen.

In Norway, the Forebu Airport near the capital Oslo was captured, and the Sola Airport in Stavanger on the southwestern coast of Norway was captured, and an air force base was established here to deal with British attacks from the sea. The planned combat troops include the 1st, 2nd, 3rd paratrooper divisions, and the airborne combat troops were about 30,000...

The paratroopers and aviation corps are commanded by Kesselin. The 900 transport aircraft commanded by Lieutenant General Gabrentz of the 5th Air Force and 250 do17s personally commanded by Kesselin can be used for bombing and airborne. This is arranged by Kesselin himself. Most of the 5th Air Force are Junker-52 transport aircraft. There are also a small number of large transport aircraft of Junker-90 and Folk-200, which are responsible for transporting airborne troops. Stadt, Schleswig and Euthysen Airports in northern Germany are airborne departure airports.

November 9, 1939, at 5:30 am. There was only a halo shot from below the horizon in the sky, which contrasted the early morning sky with white clouds with white clouds on the edges of the white clouds.

Although the commander-in-chief of this Denmark battle was Keitel, he was just named. The specific command was still the front-end command center composed of Rommel and Li Mo. The Wiser exercised the front-end command center. Li Mo was leisurely drinking Longjing tea while watching the huge battle deduction map, and the battle plan was issued, and how to implement it. Li Mo did not intend to intervene, but when the situation of the war was unexpected, Li Mo needed to deal with it urgently.

As for coordinating ammunition and fuel, these are completely missions for combat staff. At this time, Li Mo would just be a Bodhisattva. When he had time, he would talk to Rommel, who was playing on the map.

Rommel did not have Li Mo's leisurely state of mind. He came to the map early and listened to the preparations reported by the various troops. Rommel was a hard-working life and could not change it. It was Rommel's cautious temperament that could perfectly cooperate with Li Mo, master and apprentice work together, and his ability to cut off gold.

The Air Force Command is at Stad Airport, and Kesseling is very busy listening to the reports of various pilots:

"The First Division of the Aviation Division is ready."

"The Second Division of the Aviation Division is ready."

"The Third Division of the Aviation Division is ready."

Keseling took the microphone and took a deep breath, then shouted loudly as he spoke:

"All take off"

The German airborne troops divided into three routes to launch airborne assaults at four airports in Denmark and Norway at the same time. The 1st Lutheran air commando flew directly to military and civilian airports and the Waldinburg Bridge on both sides of Aalborg, Denmark.

At 5:30, the 1st Aviation Division (code name of the Transport Air Force Regiment transporting the Airborne Army) took off from Yutasen Airport and flew towards Denmark.

After the First Aviation Division took off, it was soon formed into three aircraft groups, each with one hundred aircraft. The first aircraft group flew into the military airport on the east side of Aalborg, Denmark, and the second aircraft group flew into the civil airport on the west side of Aalborg, Denmark. After these two airports were occupied, they were the transit stations for the German army to air transport troops and materials to Norway. This springboard function was very important.

Gus is a regiment commander of the First Paratrooper Division. Their mission is to airborne to the military airport in Aalborg. According to intelligence, there is about a battalion of Danish fighters and a battalion of Danish infantry guards, basically one regiment to another.

German paratroopers had the advantage of raids, and were all elite among the elites, with extremely tenacious fighting will and extremely high combat literacy. Although the Danish army had geographical advantages, they had not yet got up at 6:00 in the morning and gathered at 30:00 in the morning! Because Denmark's geographical location was relatively northerly and the dawn was a little later, their soldiers gathered at 7:30 in the morning. They still got up, and the German paratroopers descended from the sky.

"Buzz...buzz..."

The first group of aircraft had a neat formation and flew into Denmark. The height of these aircraft was about 6,000 meters. With such a huge group of aircraft, sound could still be heard on the ground. The buzzing roar would also cause a slight vibration of the air.

"Flying to Danish airspace, everyone should pay attention to fixing their bodies and preventing Danish shelling... (To be continued)
