When the fish belly was white in the East, the huge fortress appeared in front of Ross.

Their action, the time is just right! It's dawn. You can find your own target visually. At the same time, your opponent doesn't have any defense!

Moreover, although Ross's glider has taken off twice, the second time it is towed by Stuka bombers. Their flight altitude is higher and it takes less time to float over.

Therefore, this plane was the first to fly here.

Of course, it's about the front and rear feet. Other gliders almost follow them.

When they take off, they need to rely on the wheel, and when they start to leave the plane, the wheel is thrown away.

This wheel will increase additional resistance, resulting in too fast attenuation of flight speed. At the same time, they can't land on the wheel.

The wheels need a runway, and it should be long enough. The target is not so wide at all, so they can only use unconventional landing methods!

"Attention, it's going to land." The glider had no power and no sound. Ross's voice reached everyone's ears.

From here, you can clearly see the top of the fortress. There is an area of 900 meters long and 700 meters wide. The terrain is open and flat. At this time, it is overgrown with weeds.

If there is an organic wheel, the length of 900 meters is not enough at all. Now, the DFS 230 glider with the wheel thrown away is a solid heavy-duty skid under the belly. It can be said that this landing is a complete hard landing.

In order to further reduce the resistance, a large number of iron wires are wound on the skid, which is a temporary measure added before takeoff.

When landing, the impact force was very strong. After being reminded by Ross, everyone in the cabin grasped the grip around them. They are waiting for the final landing.

The height is a little high. In order to land, Ross had to push down the operating lever and dive instead to make a steep angle and fast dive! In this way, we can land and stop stably in a short distance.

That platform is getting bigger and bigger. At this time, Ross is absorbed. If he can't land on it, the glider without power can't go around and land again.

Be sure to be accurate!

As an excellent glider pilot, Ross is quite sure that in training, he can land within 20 meters around the center of the target circle, which is quite accurate.

This time, of course, is no exception!

Keep sliding!

The platform was getting bigger and bigger. Ross could see the grass flying in the wind at the top. Then he felt a huge impact coming.

The sled has been in close contact with the platform at the top of the fortress!

Hard landing! The glider took the impact of the collision with its solid steel tube structure. The sled below marked two marks on the top of the platform, and the grass below was fragmented.

The glider continued to glide forward, slower and slower, and finally stopped!

A successful landing! Ross stopped the glider at the top and center of the platform, with an error of almost two meters!

"Come on, come on, come on!" Cried Lieutenant Vicky, looking at his subordinates, carrying assault rifles, streaming out of the opening in the side of the glider.

A few years ago, at the military parade in Moscow, the Soviet airborne troops fell from the sky, which brought a great shock to the military commanders of other countries. Countries began to establish airborne troops one after another.

But Germany is thinking.

After many exercises, the German military concluded that when raiding a small tactical target, using a light assault glider for landing has greater advantages than using a parachute for parachuting.

Because parachuting is too slow, it takes a long time for paratroopers to fall slowly from the air to the ground. They are in a passive state and are easy to cause casualties.

Even if we land safely, it will be difficult to quickly build up combat effectiveness because the landing sites are scattered. In addition, paratroopers must remove their parachutes and look for weapons and equipment separately. It takes quite a long time, which is easy to delay the fighters, which greatly reduces the effect of the raid.

Airborne soldiers seem to fall from the sky and have great momentum. In fact, their combat effectiveness is not high.

However, when using a glider, the situation is completely different.

The biggest problem with parachuting is that it is too scattered, while gliders can be accurately positioned. They can easily land near the target.

Another advantage is that as long as they land, fully armed airborne soldiers can immediately jump out of the glider and fight. Moreover, they can carry more weapons than parachutes in gliders!

If parachuting, the transport plane has to fly over the target. There is a huge noise, while the glider has no noise generated by the engine. If it launches an attack at night, it can quietly reach the target area without the enemy's knowledge, so as to achieve almost perfect surprise effect.

In this era, other countries have not paid attention to the glider, but the German airborne soldiers have used it to create a miracle!

When the eastern sky was just shining, the German commando team had come to the top of the most important Eben EMAR fortress. They rushed out. In front of them, a Belgian sentry, with wide eyes and mouth, stared at the Germans falling from the sky.

He was confused. At this moment, his surprise occupied his mind. He didn't expect that the Germans could come by these iron birds. It was a dream.

So that he didn't expect to give an alarm at all, and the German commandos rushed down from the glider.

"Dada dada." The German soldier's assault rifle, a short shot and a 6.8mm bullet swept him down. When his body fell back, he suddenly realized that the war had begun.

Later, one glider after another landed from the sky with quite breathtaking actions, collided with the platform, accelerated and stopped. When it just stopped, the German soldiers on it rushed out.

"No!" A German soldier shouted. He saw a glider falling later. Under the influence of a cross wind, it was about to slip off towards the side of the platform!

At this time, the pilot pressed the operating lever hard. In the violent collision, the glider landed and continued to slide towards the edge of the platform. The front end was suspended from the upper end of the platform. Fortunately, it stopped.

The soldiers inside ran out quickly. They didn't care that they had just walked on the edge of death. They only remembered their task!
