After World War I, Germany was prohibited from developing military aircraft, so the glider movement rose. Through gliders, Germany trained a large number of glider pilots, some of which were incorporated into the air force.
However, before that, there was no example of applying glider to actual combat. Now is the first time!
Looking at the take-off of the glider, Hans's eyes are quite envious. Now, Hans has become the best pilot of the Stuka bomber. Therefore, he is sometimes called to conduct tactical discussions.
Although they did not say clearly that the recent tactical discussions were aimed at the Belgian fortress of Eben EMAR, Hans knew that this time they attacked, they must have raided the most important Belgian fortress!
If only I could go! Hans looked at the glider troops sadly. He had to wait until they took off and vacated the runway before he could take off!
A Junker 52 transport plane roared and pulled up almost at the end of the runway. Behind it, the glider continued to fly for a few meters after the transport plane pulled up and then took off.
Gliders can fly down the hillside or take off under the traction of transport aircraft, which is the most important way in combat. Before entering the theater, drop the rope, the transport plane returns, and the glider flies alone to fight.
Watching this transport plane take off, Hans drooled with envy. It's intoxicating to think about Eben emmal fortress!
After World War I, in order to defend against German aggression, Western European countries built fortification lines on the borders adjacent to Germany, including the greby Kiel line in the Netherlands; The Albert Canal line in Belgium; The Maginot Line in France.
The three lines of defense link up from north to South and stretch for hundreds of kilometers
Among them, the French defense line is best built. After all, France and Germany have formed a dead enemy.
Belgium doesn't care too much. At the same time, in order to save money, Belgium simply built an Albert canal, a fortified canal specially built to prevent Germany from launching an attack through Belgium. The river bank is steep and covered with fortifications, especially Eben? Fort EMAR guarded the canal.
This fortress is an important part of the Albert canal defense line, a strong fortification and important support point for the northern extension of the Maginot defense line, and also the core of the defense system in Eastern Belgium.
Make this fortress, that's enough! Germany will take off a total of 41 Juncker 52 at erstham and buzwellehar airports, towing gliders to carry out this mission.
They were divided into four commando units, and the plan had been made long ago.
To blow up the bridge in Luxembourg, this task, alas... Hans was extremely envious of watching his bold team take off.
About every 30 seconds, a crew takes off with a glider. The German air force is quite elite. They have done a good job in the maintenance of the aircraft.
Hans couldn't stop admiring and had no other choice when he watched the junker-52 transport planes take off. Now, he still has more than an hour to go. Why don't you go back to sleep?
There are lights on the runway, which can make the junker-52 take off correctly. However, when it flies into the sky, it is dark all around.
Flying in the dark is quite difficult. Fortunately, they have been prepared.
Due to the need to tow the glider behind, now the three engines are starting at full power, and the engine hum reverberates in the cabin.
Captain Lotso looked at the dark night sky and flew in the direction indicated by the instrument.
They need to gather at the assembly point over the Green Zone in the south of Cologne and start flying westward along the "lighting corridor" extending to the border line.
This lighting corridor is specially set up for their actions.
At the intersection near Everton, there is the first light. Then, next to freihen, 5 kilometers away, I saw a second beacon
In this way, when the plane flies over a beacon, it can see the next beacon, and sometimes even the third beacon. With the help of the ground beacon, it can maintain the correct heading until it reaches the scheduled "breakup point" near Aachen.
Suddenly, Lotso found a piece of smoke in front of his right!
This kind of smoke is sent out by a full power aero-engine, which shows that there is another plane at the same altitude!
In the dark, you can't see anything clearly. Now, when you see the smoke, it means that the two planes will collide!
What should I do?
Lotso had no other choice. He pushed the steering wheel hard and the junker-52 began to dive downward（ The junker-52 uses a steering wheel operating device.)
In the dark, the figure of another junker-52 flashed in front of everyone. Loso's wing almost wiped each other's landing gear!
If it's just a second slower, the two planes will be in close contact in the air and become two big fireballs!
Loso felt his heart beating violently. Even on the Spanish battlefield, he dropped supplies directly against the ground artillery fire, which was not so terrible.
"No, where's our glider?" After successfully avoiding a collision, loso found that his plane was suddenly light and easy to operate, and immediately screamed in his heart.
At this time, the people in the glider behind were in a burst of depression.
Pilot Ross, an experienced glider pilot, suddenly felt the joystick in his hand and didn't listen.
The elevator became so heavy that he pulled back hard, hoping to keep the elevator in its original position.
"Bam!" A clear voice came to the cockpit, as if the windshield of the cockpit had been severely whipped by a whip.
At this moment, Ross guessed something.
The glider regained its balance in the air, but the roar of the tractor engine gradually faded away and the surroundings looked particularly quiet.
The traction rope is broken!
This is a tragedy.
Later, a man said calmly, "return to Cologne, return to the airport!"
This calm voice infected Ross. He knew that among his gliders, there was lieutenant weiqige, the captain of the first unit who attacked Eben EMAR fortress, and Ross was also under the command of lieutenant weiqige.
In fact, although lieutenant weiqige's words were calm, he also felt very bad in his heart. As a commander, he was now left behind.
Although it was considered that the glider might accidentally fall behind when formulating the task, every crew and even every soldier knew their task and would not panic.
However, it is very frustrating to be unable to participate in this operation.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
