Afterwards, the German army made full use of each transport aircraft and tried its best to strengthen the troops occupying Trondheim. In order to transport reinforcements and equipment, the Junker-52 transport aircraft landed again on the frozen lake. By April 18, the port city had gathered 3,500 German troops. This action forced the British army to withdraw its original plan to land the 147th Brigade in Trondheim on the 22nd. Considering that the German army had established defense, the British army decided to give up the frontal offense and threw the troops to Namsos 160 kilometers north of the city and Andalsnes 128 kilometers south of the city.

On April 16, under the command of Brigadier General Phillips, the 146th British Army's 146th Brigade entered Namsos at night with two battalions and moved southward through Gron to Steinchel. On the same night, more than 600 British Marines landed in Andalsnes and advanced towards the Dangbos Railway Hub, attempting to cut off the railway line from Oslo to Trondheim and divide the German army. Two days later, the 148th Brigade of the British Army also landed in Andalsnes.

Li Mo certainly understood the importance of Dangbos, so he immediately pulled out a paratrooper battalion to seize the railway hub. At 5 pm on April 15, 600 paratroopers of the battalion flew to Dangbos on the Juncker-52 transport plane. 36 planes penetrated into thick clouds and rose, crossed the clouds at an altitude of 900 meters, and did not use navigation equipment when flying.

The pilot used navigation equipment when approaching Bosch by estimating time and distance. The German army was ready to be attacked by the anti-aircraft artillery fire when Bosch landed and had to look for a new airborne area. Company commander Lieutenant Schmid found a good landing ground 6 kilometers south, and then paratroopers carried out parachutes in the area.

During the airborne, the paratroopers were fired by the ground fire of the Nobel Army. The paratroopers and the drop bags landed in snow-covered fields and forest areas. The landing paratroopers were extremely scattered, and by the evening only two officers and 161 soldiers gathered together.

The next morning, the small army cut off the railway line in the south of Dangbos and built a defensive position, hoping to hold on until reinforcements arrived. However, there were 3,500 Nobel soldiers besieged them there. Due to the huge gap in strength and the inability to obtain supplies, the Germans were driven out of the position on the 17th and retreated to a manor. Their stone buildings here persisted until the 19th. When only 34 soldiers were left, Schmid decided to remain firm.

Although the British army had some victories at sea and at the port of Narvik, due to the bad weather and the slow movement of the landing troops, they failed to expand the results in time. At the same time, the German army controlled the central and southern Norway and had the ability to capture the north. By September 14, a large number of German armored troops landed. The attack on Norway had made considerable progress. The German troops landed in Norway to 80,000 to fight against 17,000 Norwegian troops and 45,000 British and their alliance teams.

On November 15, the German army continuously transported paratroopers and paratroopers to Narvik, bringing the defensive positions to 10 battalions. The German army in central Norway also advanced northward along the coast toward Narvik City for more than 300 kilometers. They captured the ports of Moshoen and Makushima and advanced towards Bodo. The British and Norwegian troops could not stop the German steel torrent at all...

At the same time, the German army often used paratroopers and a small number of landing troops to bypass the British positions and enter the rear area. Whenever this happens, the British army is forced to retreat quickly, or be cut off from retreat and surrender. From April to 27, the Allied forces began to withdraw after their last resistance in northern Norway, and the German army occupied the entire territory of Norway.

The German airborne assault on Denmark and Norway was the first successful example of airborne operations and air transport supplies in the history of war. As many as 900 transport aircraft built the world's first "air bridge", and the "Condor Skyfall" was also an innovation. Although the German army lost 170 transport aircraft due to the harsh climate and poor airport conditions, and the airborne troops suffered more than 1,000 casualties, paying a considerable price, the entire battle was successful. This airborne assault provided experience for the subsequent airborne operations of various countries, and countries even regarded it as an example.

...

Germany's early military victory was brilliant and earth-shaking. It directly made the world thriller and looked at the Germans in a tremendous fear, fearing that they would provoke this demon by accident. So when Germany occupied Denmark and Norway in a very short time, all countries in the world chose to remain silent, and no country said a word for Denmark and Norway.

Both Britain and France chose to remain silent, and other small countries would not jump out and provoke Germans. As long as the Germans didn't come to "flash" themselves, they would be grateful that they dared to uphold justice. The world of World War II was a world where the strong prey on the weak. Whether they were beaten or being beaten depends on the strength of their own country.

In the front command of the "Wisser Exercise", Li Mo was discussing with Rommel, a battlefield fox, a political idiot, how to poach from the command. Now there are only 70,000 paratroopers in Germany in the world, with a total of 7 paratrooper divisions. After actual combat training, only the three paratrooper divisions borrowed by Li Mo. Since these three divisions were lent to Li Mo, will Li Mo return them to the command?

Who is the stupid pig? Li Mo doesn't want to be a stupid pig. That's more than 30,000 elite paratroopers who have gone through actual combat. That's the army that Li Mo dreams of. The cultivation of this paratrooper requires a long process. Li Mo no longer has time to train his own paratroopers. However, Li Mo will never return these three paratrooper divisions to the commander-in-chief no matter what.

The Seventh Army now has only one armored army and one paratrooper army. If the people in the commander see the huge power of the paratroopers, they will transfer Li Mo's paratroopers away and replace them with another army. Li Mo will never do it.

This time, Li Mo and Rommel's contribution to Denmark and Norway was enough for them to be promoted. Li Mo and Rommel discussed and planned to request Hitler to expand the Seventh Armored Army into a formal army, which means that Li Mo will have three armies to command in the future.

In this way, Li Mo can organize and place these three paratrooper divisions. The armored army equipped with paratroopers will be even more powerful when launching a blitzkrieg. Li Mo has been constantly improving Germany's "blitzkrieg", but Li Mo has taken great pains to improve the "blitzkrieg" in terms of military configuration and weapon selection. Even the research and development of helicopters and the development of leopards are all aimed at achieving Li Mo's goal.

Li Mo directly kept the paratroopers directly under the command, and the grandsons of the command headquarters would never do it. Unless Li Mo showed enough benefits, the command headquarters could agree to transfer the paratrooper division into Li Mo's hands. Does Li Mo have such "benefits" to the grandsons of the National Defense Forces? Of course, there is, Denmark and Norway are the generous gifts given to the National Defense Forces by Li Mo. Li Mo already has Warsaw, Poland, which is enough for the development of the Seventh Armored Army. If Denmark and Norway are forcibly included in the Seventh Armored Army, it will inevitably cause a fierce backlash from the Command Forces.

Eating alone is always the end of his own death, but Li Mo is well aware of the pros and cons.
