Chapter 975 Waiting for the glider

When jumping from above, everyone felt the whistling cold wind blowing, and everyone felt very cold.

When skydiving, the weight is limited. If the weight below 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, which are quite cold.

When his feet touched the top of the mountain, Eric felt his feet soft and stepped on the snow pile, which was quite good!

If you step on the hard ice surface, your legs may be broken. Now, stepping on the soft snow can provide enough cushion.

Eric put away his parachute and buried it in the snow pile. If the parachute is discovered, it will definitely be searched by the large army. Small groups like theirs may encounter risks.

Next, the first thing he had to solve was to find the equipment he had just thrown off and meet with several other people!

After walking in the snow for more than twenty minutes, he was very lucky and found a package, which happened to be a thick and warm coat of four people!

He quickly put on his clothes, and suddenly his body felt warm, and then his good luck ended here.

It took me two days to meet with my second friend until dawn. The four of them gathered together and collected all kinds of equipment, including searching for the most important telegraph machine!

They could not make fire, they could only eat hard dry bread, and the water was frozen, and they could only eat snow. With their strong perseverance, several people finally overcome various difficulties.

"Tonight, we touched the chemical plant, marked it, and waited for our glider to arrive." Eric said to several others. Although he was seriously overdrawn, each of them was excited.

The equipment is complete, now it’s time to go to the chemical factory!

Why don’t they use gliders when they come down? Because they are all mountainous areas, they can’t find a suitable landing site at night. Only when they parachute down first and guide the gliders to the people behind, can they guide the gliders to land.

At the same time, the explosives and other equipment of the real heavy water explosion factory are also transported through gliders.

One foot deep and the other foot shallow, stepping on the snow, a few people headed 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 snow.

There were almost no one coming in the forest here, but several people were still walking carefully. Eric was familiar with the terrain here. He worked as a guide in front and walked hard in the forest for six hours. When it was almost dawn, he finally pushed away the branches of the big tree and saw a piece of open space. A few hundred meters in front of the open space was the Vimok Factory.

Near the factory, there was no difference between the guards, no difference! Eric was quite excited and shouted to the people behind him: "Peter, send a telegram back immediately, telling them that we have reached the designated location and the landing site remains unchanged!"

The gliding opportunity carries enough explosives. After landing here, a charge can hit the heavy water factory and completely blow up the entire heavy water factory. When the Germans reacted, they had already retreated safely!

Peter, carrying a heavy telegraph machine, supported it up and wore headphones. Next to him, another companion stretched out the antenna high and stood on the branches of the tree trunk.

"Didi, Didi." Soon, the telegram was sent out, and almost ten minutes later, he received an echo: "Tonight, we will mark it and wait for the glider to arrive around eleven o'clock."

Dongfang is already white. They will perform this mission as long as they survive a day and at night!

He wanted to put away the telegram again, but saw a signal light on it, which began to flash. Suddenly, his face changed slightly: "Oh no, the battery of our telegram machine is out of power."

Most of the equipment in this era is made of electronic tubes, and only Germany entered the transistor era ahead of schedule, which is quite confidential.

The power consumption of electronic tubes is quite large. They have been wandering around the mountains these days. The cold and humid weather has reduced the battery's power storage. Now, after sending the telegram, they have exhausted their power!

"It's okay, we've completed the mission." Eric comforted his subordinates. We didn't need radio contact tonight, just wait for the glider here.

Eric didn't know that their waiting was not just a day, but a full three months!

Swallow's telegram came late, but the news still made Stevenson, who arrived in Greenland and came to command in person, excited. He immediately ordered to prepare for his departure!

Last time, I just used a light aircraft and dropped four paratroopers, and this time, I needed to drop two large gliders!

Historically, the British used the Halifax bomber, a four-engine heavy bomber, and it was easy to perform this mission. Unfortunately, with the early occupation of Britain by Germany, this bomber did not come out at all.

At the same time, in order to avoid political trouble, the United States provided the C-47 transport aircraft, which is exactly the same as the DC-3 used in civil aviation. In case of an accident, it can still cover up the past.

At the same time, the British's most proud "Hosha" glider in World War II was successfully tested. This glider with a wingspan of 27 meters can be loaded with 32 infantry or 3.2 tons of combat equipment, and has also not entered the trial production stage.

The British assault pair can use the CG-4 military glider developed by the United States. This glider can carry 2 crew members and 13 infantrymen. In this way, one ranks of fifteen people and two gliders can accommodate thirty people. It should be said that there is no problem to blow up the Vimok Chemical Plant.

It was a biting cold in Greenland at night, and Stevenson stood in the snow-covered airport, watching the plane that was about to set out.

The Norwegian boys look energetic and the cold wind cannot make them retreat. The arduous task will only inspire them to have greater courage!

"Young men, history will remember you. You are about to fight the bravest battle to win this world war." Stevenson said to them: "Now, go and blow up the factory of the evil enemy!"

The soldiers turned around and ran onto the glider. Finally, Friedjov, who was on the glider, closed the hatch door and looked at the lights on the runway outside, quickly retreating through the narrow cabin.
