The dfs230 glider is a small glider. Its size is similar to a fighter. It can carry more than a dozen soldiers and a load capacity of about 2 tons. Therefore, a large number of such gliders must be used in one operation.

Nowadays, the glider is larger in size, just like a huge burger, with a fat belly, and a pregnant doe.

The me 321 "Giant" glider, from the nose, is similar to the super helicopters of later generations.

It is centered on a box-shaped cargo holder that is 11 meters long, 15 meters wide and 32 meters high. The front nose is a shell-shaped cargo holder door that can be opened to both sides, which can be directly loaded with large volumes of cargo. This is very similar to the large transport aircraft in later generations.

To facilitate vehicle entry and exit, the cargo valley is very low from the ground and a special ramp is designed. At the same time, the cargo valley is strengthened with a solid skeleton and can carry 22 tons of cargo.

The cargo hold floor area is about 40 square meters, and the entire cargo hold volume reaches 108 cubic meters. After adding auxiliary partitions in the middle section, 200 fully armed soldiers can be transported.

It can be said that the entire aircraft is deployed with this cargo tank as the center. Above the cargo tank is a steel pipe welded n-shaped metal wing beam, and its wing shape is maintained with wooden wing ribs.

Compared with those pediatric gliders, this kind of gliders is already larger than the largest aircraft in many countries!

It can be said that this glider was specially prepared for landing in the UK, and it is only the first experiment now.

In the war invading Belgium, this kind of glider was not used because it was not suitable. Only a small glider could accurately land on the top of the fortress and beside the bridge. This heavy glider was not suitable and was not necessary.

When opening the warehouse, you just need to see the majestic tank inside, you know that it is really unnecessary.

This glider weighs 22 tons, of course, to transport the main battle tank!

Paratroopers can only carry light weapons and equipment, which is quite passive on the battlefield. If they have main battle tanks, that would be different!

Due to the limited load capacity, the glider did not carry the 40-ton Black Panther 3 tank, but the 20-ton Black Panther 2 tank. These tanks still have some inventory, and they are equipped in the special forces in Scholzne, with a total of twenty vehicles. With these tanks, they can hold on for enough time!

The tanks occupied most of the volume of the warehouse and were cleverly fixed. In the other half of the warehouse, their individual equipment was in the middle, and the 75mm recoil-free cannon was neatly placed in the box and also fixed on the floor, while the soldiers rode in the space on both sides.

The number of people carrying was not large, but only 50 soldiers. These twenty gliders carried a thousand soldiers. They would be the first to land in Brest. They had to rely on these equipment to persevere until the arrival of the subsequent troops.

On the other hand, it is not easy to pull these gliders away. In later history, German engineers had to rack their brains and come up with various solutions.

For example, I first used three transport aircraft to pull it, but it turned out that the danger was too high, and it was like walking a tightrope in the air!

Later, two he111 aircraft were used to tow. In order to avoid danger, the two aircraft were simply spliced ​​directly from the middle and an additional engine was added to the wing junction of the two aircraft to form a unique aircraft like he111z, which solved the problem of towing.

Fortunately, there is no problem now. Germany already has advanced intercontinental bombers, Junx ju-290 bombers, this advanced four-engine large bomber, which can completely tow the me321 glider.

Now, this is the scene. Twenty Juncker-290 bombers are in place, and behind them are pulling the bulky me321 glider ready to take off.

As a heavy glider, the me321 has five crew members, including 1 pilot, 1 communications officer, 1 commander, and 2 machine gunners. The fixed weapon on the aircraft is a 9mm mg15 machine gun extending from left to left to right on the upper part of the nose cargo door.

Now, the pilot is nervously preparing for takeoff. Although the aircraft does not have an engine, it must also rely on external forces when taking off.

"Please take off after completing the preparations before takeoff." The pilot shouted.

"No. 001, you can take off." The communications officer shouted in the radio.

Suddenly, the Junker-290 in front had four engines full power, and the propeller was rotating wildly, pushing the large bomber to slide on the runway.

Then, the shining fire illuminated everyone's eyes.

Four booster rockets are tied to both sides of the fuselage of the me321. Now, these four booster rockets are ignited together! The hot flames illuminate the entire runway.

If the Juncker-290 drags the glider to take off, it will take a runway of 1,500 meters. In order to fly more easily, it must use the help of a rocket.

This is also the earliest rocket booster aircraft of Messethmith.

With the boost of the rocket ignition, the bomber in front suddenly became much easier. After only slid for more than 800 meters, it pulled the glider into the air and entered the darkness!

Behind, the second Junker-290 is about to take off.

One, take one.

Reinhardt stood at one end of the runway, watching the troops go on a war, like a sword unsheathed, stabbing the heart of the French.

"Oh, no!" Suddenly, the person on the runway shouted loudly.

I saw a me321 glider. When it took off, only the booster rocket on the left ignited, and the booster rocket on the right actually failed unexpectedly!

This led to the yaw of the glider, which tilted to the right! At the same time, the reaction force acted on the steel cable, and it was about to collide with the traction machine in front!

At a critical moment, the pilot of the glider pressed the button and the traction hook in front fell off.

After getting rid of the burden, the Junker-290 in front suddenly felt relaxed, glided forward for a while, and took off quickly, while the glider behind rolled and glided to one side and rushed to the lawn on the side.

The fire truck and ambulance quickly headed towards the lawn. Here, the commander's voice was still firm: "Continue to take off!"

This is war, you cannot be afraid of any danger! Even if the person in front falls, the person in the back has to continue rushing forward!

On the other side, the flames have been ignited, and the wooden structure and canvas skin glider have been burned, and here it is still taking off!
Chapter completed!
