Chapter 320 Airborne Assault (Part 2)

In order to solve the problem that the tank may be snatched by the enemy because it has no ammunition or fuel during airborne, Milu put an airborne shift in each ju89. In addition, the members of this tank are also on this tank, and a base supply is also on this ju89. They are airborne separately from the tank. After the ju89 drops the No. 3 tank, they will immediately airborne the supply, and finally the personnel parachutes. This parachute is much better than before and can control the landing direction. After this period of training, these people are sure to land 200 meters around the tank...

When three red signal flares rose, the ju89 on the upper airport on Sicily began to roar, and began to slowly slide towards the runway, and then slowly accelerated, getting faster and faster. Countless huge bodies rose into the air, and the powerful airflow was rolling around, and the commanders on the ground were almost unable to stand firm.

After fifty ju89s took off, they began to form in the air. Because they were airborne, the ju89 used a close formation, so that the personnel and equipment might not be too dispersed when airborne. Although they were closely formed, the distance between ju89 was still two or three hundred meters long. This distance is very dangerous for ju89 and it tests the ability of the driver. However, these ju89 drivers can choose all German elite pilots, so there is no problem with this difficulty.

When the plane took off, its ears buzzed. Gradually, the sound became smaller and the plane flew higher and higher, and the more stable it became. Looking down from the window, the white clouds in the air rolled in various shapes. Some looked like snow girls, some looked like little white rabbits, and some looked like mushrooms... Under the golden sunlight, the white clouds seemed to be covered with a layer of golden veil, which looked even more beautiful.

Milu finally waited for the plane to take off. When the plane roared and rushed towards the blue sky, he was extremely excited. For many years, the goal he had been yearning for was realized, and the truly paratrooper combat was about to be realized. The plane penetrated through the clouds and fog, and soon flew to the cruise altitude. Looking at the clouds in the sky, some were like cotton quietly, while others were like a group of dancing girls. The plane seemed to be not moving. It only felt that the motor was roaring. Ju89 had reached a 7,000-meter altitude cruising. At this time, he was watching the sky in the atmosphere be blue and white clouds slowly fading away. Milu truly experienced the various shapes of the white clouds and the endless mysteries of nature. It felt very wonderful.

"Buzz...buzz..."

The four huge propeller engines of ju89 roared vigorously, carrying the First Armored Paratrooper Division to fly towards the Island of Malta. Sicily is 90 kilometers away from the Island of Malta, which is not a distance for ju89. Ju89 only needs to carry half of the fuel and can easily fly back and forth, and the flight time does not take much time.

...

At the British Command of the Island of Malta, Lieutenant General Freiberg has now become the commander-in-chief of the island guards of Malta. Last time, Freiberg was still a major general last time. Because of his excellent performance in Sicily, he was quickly promoted to the first level of military rank, which made Freiberg very happy, but Freiberg still did not dare to be careless on the defense of Malta.

Freiberg used his troops to arrange two defense areas and two trap areas. The first defense is the Port of Valletta, and the second defense is the Airport of Malta. There are reasons why Freiberg regards the Port of Valletta as the top defensive task. There are two reasons why Freiberg decided to focus on Valletta.

First, according to British intelligence analysis, the Italian navy is frequently mobilized and has the intention to attack the island of Malta. Valletta is the source of supply for the island of Malta. It can also be said that the Port of Valletta is the life channel for the island's defenders.

Second, the geographical location of the Island of Malta is determined. Malta is only 90 kilometers away from Sicily, Italy and 150 kilometers away from Africa. The Italian Navy is still relatively powerful now. Freiberg dared not abandon the Port of Valletta. As long as the Italian Navy occupied the Port of Valletta, Italy can continuously send troops to the island, and the defenders on the island will be dead.

Freiberg arranged nearly 20,000 defenders in Port Valletta, and around the airport, Freiberg arranged a division of troops, about 72,000. Another 20,000 people. Freiberg arranged two large traps in two relatively flat places around the airport and Port Valletta. Freiberg thought of waiting for the German paratroopers to fall into the trap.

Unfortunately, the two traps arranged by Freiberg were only less than twenty kilometers away from the airport and Port Valletta. Li Mo chose to parachute 36 kilometers away from the airport in Malta. After Freiberg discovered the location of the parachute of the Fifteenth Armored Army, even if he arrived immediately, it would be too late. As long as the tanks of the Freiberg's parachute were ready, I don't know what the British gentlemen of Freiberg would perform.

Although Milu was the regiment commander, he did not have any special treatment on this plane. He also needed to airborne like ordinary soldiers. Even the paratrooper commander was no different. In the last battle of Sicily, a paratrooper commander of the National Defense Forces was killed.

"Dudu...Dudu..."

"We have already flown over the island of Malta and we will soon lower the height."

"Bump...bump..."

Countless shells exploded below the ju89. Unfortunately, the British anti-aircraft guns cannot reach the ju89. If ju89 wants to airborne the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower at this time, it will inevitably reduce the level. The result will also be shot down. However, the parachute location of ju89 is not where the UK has arranged anti-aircraft firepower. Li Mo would rather choose a distance to ensure the safety of ju89. It seems that he has done it right.

Soon ju89 flew over the British anti-aircraft gun positions, and the fireworks that bloomed freely in the air gradually faded away. A few minutes later, the green instructions of Milu's cabin flashed:

"Doudu...Doududu..."

At this time, the ju89 was nearly 1,500 meters away from the ground. After many tests by Milu and his team, the No. 3 tank must land intact, and this height is the most ideal.

"Open the tail hatch door and prepare to drop the tank, 1, 2, 3... Clang... Hurry up, put the supplies down, and the personnel start parachuting, hurry up."

Milu directed the people in his ju89 aircraft to drop the No. 3 tank first, and then supply. Everyone has trained more than ten times. Although they are nervous, they are not panic. Everything is going on in an orderly manner. After the tanks and supply airdrops, the personnel are parachuting. Milu is the first to jump out of the cabin.

As soon as Milu jumped out of the cabin, the sky was covered with white parachutes. Milu and his group were not the first to jump. Milu quickly controlled the direction of the parachute with his hands. In fact, this control was complex and simple. It was very difficult to land in a position of one meter square. It was still easy to land in a large circle with a diameter of two hundred meters.

Milu looked at the direction of his tank landing. Each tank's huge parachute has a huge red number, and all paratroopers can clearly see it, so that everyone can control their parachutes to land in the direction of the tank.
