On Mount fichau, northwest of the connecting line between Aachen and laoliansberg, the last light is on alone.

This is the last one. If you move forward, you can't see more, because Belgium is already ahead!

Here is the separation point of the glider. In order not to let the Belgian army notice the sound of the aircraft engine, the glider will glide alone from here and fly covertly over the Cape Maastricht of the Netherlands.

However, the weather conditions gave them a joke.

All along, the east wind blows here. They fly against the wind, but today, unexpectedly, it is the west wind!

In this way, it became a downwind. As a result, they flew all the way, ten minutes earlier than expected!

In this way, it can not be synchronized with the general attack. At the same time, because of the downwind, the altitude of the aircraft is too low, only about 2000 meters. According to the prediction, it must be 2600 meters before the glider can fly to the target at an appropriate taxiing angle.

Now, the altitude is not enough. They have to continue to pull the glider forward. If they fly with power for a long time, they can make the glider have greater confidence to land there.

You know, this time their Glider will fly nearly 100 kilometers without power!

Therefore, the junker-52 transport plane, at the final separation point, did not immediately release the glider, but continued to move forward.

Three engines are roaring, and the flight of a large number of junker-52 transport aircraft is even more dynamic.

The plane flew over the national boundary and continued over the Netherlands.

"Glide away!" After flying more than ten kilometers, the transport plane finally completed its mission.

Shake the wings and tell the glider troops behind. In the back, the skilled pilots press the switch and the rope disengages.

The glider without the rope loses all its power and glides with the advantage of height. Due to the downwind, their glide is very smooth.

One glider after another left the transport plane that pulled them and embarked on their journey.

Behind Hans, the glider pulled away. At this time, it was still dark, but in a few minutes, the East would turn white.

The glider separated from the transport plane and flew in the predetermined direction. After dawn, they could land over the target visually. At this time, suddenly, there was a fierce gunfire from below.

"Boom, boom!"

With the sound of gunfire, bright lights were drawn from the ground to the sky. It was the tracer bullet of the anti-aircraft gun!

The Dutch army found the arrival of these planes. Instinctively, they thought it was bombers, so all anti-aircraft guns opened fire on the air!

The searchlight sends out a beam of light towards the sky. If it is covered by the searchlight, the aircraft will be in trouble. Later, it will follow the anti-aircraft artillery shells to tear the aircraft.

A junker-52 transport plane, quite unfortunately, fell into the beam of the searchlight. It flew askew and made all kinds of escape movements, but the other party had watched him closely!

Our own transport plane is at risk.

Seeing this, Hans, who was originally in the dark, immediately made a decision.

Pushing the lever, Stuka began to dive down. With the acceleration of speed, the sharp sound of whistle in the fixed landing gear rang through the sky.

Stuka, it's Stuka!

Suddenly, the Dutch soldiers who operated the searchlight were not calm. Over the past few years, wherever this sound sounded, it meant that there would be terrible bombing!

What should I do?

If the searchlight is turned off at this time, they will certainly be safe. In the dark, even the anti-aircraft guns only expose the target when firing, but the searchlight is always revealing its position.

However, if they turn off the searchlight, their own anti-aircraft guns will become blind and cannot kill the bombers in the sky.

They can't close, they must insist!

At this time, the roar became more sharp, and then, hundreds of meters above his head, a fire came out.

In order to tow the glider, Stuka did not carry a bomb, but he also had a fixed machine gun to use. When he dived almost vertically from the sky, his attack accuracy was quite high.

"Dada dada," as the fire on the wing gathered, a shuttle of mg17 aircraft machine gun bullets swept a line on the searchlight position, and chirped on the ground. After the line moved half a meter, it was in close contact with the searchlight.

"Bang," the glass of the searchlight was blown, and then the bulb burst. With the bulb burst, the searchlight went black.

At this time, countless anti-aircraft guns had aimed at the covered junker-52. Almost at the moment of firing, the sky was dark.

The junker-52 transport plane, which narrowly escaped death, quickly turned left, left the terrible airspace and accelerated its return.

At this time, Hans continued to dive and fire on the ground. As long as there were anti-aircraft guns, he appeared!

When a searchlight shone on Hans, he did not hesitate to dive towards the searchlight and kill each other! His skillful ground attack skills completely frightened the searchlight soldiers on the ground.

A bomber made the whole anti-aircraft artillery position go blind!

At this time, all the transport planes left Dutch airspace, while the glider continued to fly forward.

The sound of anti-aircraft guns here also alerted the defenders in Eben EMAR fortress.

It was a sleepless night for them.

Since the German invasion plan was intercepted, the German plan to cross Belgium to attack France was leaked, and as the most important fortress in Belgium, it was the focus of the German attack.

Although Belgium still hopes for peace, the troops are ready, and the 1200 strong defensive force of the 7th infantry division is guarding the fortress.

They are still full of confidence in guarding the fortress.

All personnel can be in bunkers 25 meters below the ground, and are equipped with drinking water, food and a large number of ammunition for long-term use. The fortress can only be destroyed by a huge naval gun of more than 400 mm.

At this time, the commander of the fortress, major bridgeland, was listening to the sound of anti-aircraft fire in the distance. For him, it was a signal that the war was about to start!

"Note that German bombers may come." Major bridgeland made his own judgment.

In fact, this kind of night bombing will not have much effect. After all, the bombing accuracy in the dark is too small. Although the outside sky is about to dawn, our own side still has anti-aircraft guns. After dawn, the anti-aircraft guns can deal with each other's bombers.

In terms of air defense, they don't need to think too much. Like other fortresses, their most important thing is to deal with the enemy's ground forces.

He didn't know that he was very wrong this time.
