Chapter 58 The Imperial Scimitar (2)

Airborne troops, that is, paratroopers...

com Xu Yang injected a lot of effort into this army, just because he knew that the paratroopers were a sharp blade. Its soldiers must be elite enough. The will of paratroopers must be very tough. In most cases, the birth of paratroopers was to allow enemy troops to surround them and fight never to give up in the enemy's siege.

At this time, many countries have already conducted research on airborne troops, and each country is exploring the impact of airborne troops on world war history. The emergence of paratroopers means that there is no so-called "front line" because there is a front line everywhere. The significance of paratroopers' existence lies in the fact that they are used to carry out sudden airborne raids in places that the enemy cannot imagine.

Of course, this means that paratroopers must fight with a weak force within the enemy's sphere of influence.

Xu Yang once said: You are born to be surrounded by enemies, and this is the meaning of your existence.

These words made the soldiers of the paratroopers excited. Men who dared to face dangerous situations could be called warriors. These soldiers firmly believed that they were a warrior! They were selected from the 3.6 million SSs and then carried out a series of rigorous training...

These young, strong, responsive and aggressive soldiers were selected and sent to a special paratrooper training school. The instructors of the paratrooper school taught these soldiers that they were the most powerful of all troops, and even the ace pilots of the Air Force could not compare with them. They were given the troops that were most valued by leaders in all troops. They strictly required them to learn the importance of teamwork, so that they could always remember that only unity could effectively complete the task.

With the belief and the attention of the leaders, they completed long and arduous training. When they graduated from the Paratrooper School, they were not only parachuting experts, but also combat experts. In fact, teamwork is the core guidance of the paratroopers.

Each soldier has his own expertise, such as medical care, engineering, etc., which are often used in airborne operations. During the training, focus on every detail. For example, when a person knows that he wants to use the parachute bag to jump, he will do extra careful maintenance and inspection of the parachute bag. When the trainer jumps down the parachute tower, he needs to simulate many ways to land. School instructors also need to cultivate soldiers to develop a fearless spirit: in a transport plane, when the parachute signal is issued, any form of hesitation will cause the trainees to be parachute. However, parachute is only a small part of the training, and Xu Yang hopes that the parachute troops will become a capable combat force. These soldiers need to understand what is "three-dimensional encirclement", that is, how to occupy the area with the airborne troops.

Airports, railways and highway intersections are important targets for three-dimensional encirclement. To make the mission easier, this operation usually takes place at dawn. Before sending paratroopers, the bombers, dive bombers and combat opportunities of the Air Force troops bomb the artillery positions near the target site, with the purpose of forcing the enemy's gunners to conceal. The enemy's anti-aircraft artillery positions are listed as the top priority, and the Air Force's firepower coverage of the enemy's anti-aircraft positions is particularly dense, all of which are a threat to clear the airborne troops.

After the new combat theory came out, the task of the air force was to use all means to minimize the enemy's firepower threat to its own troops. Therefore, the enemy's air defense artillery troops were always the first wave of attacked targets, causing the enemy to lose air defense capabilities, and the German army was bound to be more violent bombing. In the second wave of bombing, the air force shifted the target to the enemy's artillery position in order to weaken the enemy's firepower as much as possible, so that its ground troops could quickly break through the enemy's defense line and achieve the goal of a perfect rapid attack.

Xu Yang visited the "Imperial Scimitar" Paratrooper Division again today. He wanted to confirm whether his troops could complete the tasks to be granted by the commander. The garrison of the paratroopers was different from the garrison of other army units, and several transport aircraft were always docked here. Currently, the aircraft supporting paratroopers paratroopers' paratroopers' combat is "Junke Aunt". This transport aircraft can provide a platoon of soldiers to parachutize.

The components of this platoon are also very complicated. For example, one platoon will have a special machine gun squad, but the other platoon will be replaced with an air defense squad, or other types of squad.

In the selection of paratroopers' weapons, Xu Yang spent a lot of money to help the sergeants of the paratroopers and the officers purchased a large number of submachine guns, which was to ensure that the paratroopers could have sufficient firepower without machine guns.

The weapon of ordinary soldiers is still the Mauser 9k rifle, which has been modified to fire grenades.

The new and improved rifle is adapted to grenade launching. Its device consists of a launch tube and a torsion connection pipe. The rear of the cylindrical launch tube has a notch for the gun sight. The rear opening of the launch tube has an internal thread for connection with the torsion connection pipe. The diameter of the torsion connection pipe is 3 and there is a breeze line inside. It is tightly fixed to the launch tube. The improved thick torsion connection pipe is widened to strengthen its internal structural strength. Its sight is composed of a main body and a shell, and the main body includes a sighting ruler, a hoop and a rigid belt for connecting and fixing.

The hoop and the rigid belt are fixed by bolts and nuts. The aiming ruler is installed on the rear edge of the sight for adjustment. The housing is equipped with a sight and a readable ruler is installed on the rear. The adjustment range of the ruler is from 0 meters to 250 meters, and is divided into two adjustment areas every 25 meters, one area for flat aiming and the other for curved aiming. The launching device consists of the following parts: a launching device, a torque connector wrench, a tool pack for launching device, and two ammunition packs for grenades.

Each paratrooper squad is equipped with a specially trained grenade launcher. The soldier's assistant has a variety of different types of grenades in his backpack, which can replenish ammunition for the grenades at any time.

This grenade was born to make up for the insufficient firepower caused by paratroopers' inability to carry artillery. Current airdrop technology cannot guarantee whether the mortar or small artillery will become a pile of scrap iron after being dropped from high altitude.

It is impossible to get a soldier to take care of a small mortar while parachuting. The soldier of the "Imperial Scimitar" once tried to ask the soldier to parachutize with a mortar that was not dismantled. The result was that the soldier fell from the air at high speed with the mortar, and the soldier's life was over.

If you want to airdrop a mortar, it means you have to be dismantled and for a separate airdrop. This is unacceptable. No one believes that the paratroopers who will fight when they land. They still have time to search for the mortar that they don’t know where they are thrown, reassemble it, and then put it into battle. So the grenade became the only long-range firepower suppression weapon that the paratroopers can rely on.

The tactics of the paratroopers are the most stringent in training. After the paratroopers land, they must clear the enemy soldiers within the range and create airports for their own troops behind them as quickly as possible to provide small gliders to land.

The airport established during the war can be a grass with appropriate softness, with high grass, even a flat land with a little vegetation. Even farmland, even if it has just been plowed or cornfields, it is very cleared, and there is also a sandy land and a little pebbles, because it does not affect the landing of the glider.

The first wave of paratroopers landed are always given an important mission. They must stick to it for a long time under the conditions of weak power until the second wave of their own paratroopers arrives. During the second wave of airborne, if conditions permit, the air force will land at the airport established by the first wave of soldiers, bringing materials that cannot be airdropped, such as the 75 recoilless cannon, which weighs 321 pounds. There are also two types of cone-bore anti-tank guns, with calibers of 2 and 42 respectively.

Xu Yang was sitting in the barracks and having dinner with the soldiers. He often did this. Doing so would help him get closer to the soldiers, understand their spiritual needs and what supplies were missing.

The soldiers sitting around Xuyang seemed very excited, but they did not feel restrained. These soldiers liked the leader. Their leaders could always get along with the soldiers and would make some yellow jokes that the generals would not make. In the eyes of these soldiers, it was their leaders who gave them great glory and allowed them to serve in the most elite troops.

The soldiers' uniforms are different from those of the Army. They are equipped with special camouflage uniforms for combat. Green and brown camouflage uniforms can make soldiers less likely to be discovered, which can greatly increase their survival rate.

"My soldiers. I want to tell you a good news. In order to let more people know this news, please tell other partners: you, the Imperial Scimitar, will be used by the Commander in the upcoming Battle of Denmark and Norwegian Battles. Your mission is to do everything possible to occupy and dismantle the resistance of Denmark and Norwegian, and to create conditions for the landing of the landing soldiers behind."

Xu Yang's words are still so powerful: "As the best soldiers, I will not allow you to fail! As the SS unit on the first battlefield, the SS brothers look forward to you to create brilliance! The soldiers who are with me, I hope you can bring me a gift..."

More and more paratroopers surrounded them. They did not show their excitement, but stood up straight and looked at their leaders with bright eyes.

Xu Yang raised his head proudly and stood up. He showed that his tone was so unquestionable except for his cold side: "I hope you can bring me the crowns of the King of Denmark and the King of Norway, and they must become my collection!"

Unconsciously, the soldiers of the Imperial Scimitar had already lined up in a huge square, their expressions were cold and proud, and they were chanting their Ten Commandments loudly:

We are the elite of Germans, and fighting should be a pleasant thing for us. The leader taught us that we must find ways to train ourselves to resist all difficulties.

Cultivate an unbreakable spirit of brotherly trust and welcome victory or destruction with your companions.

Sad to chat and bad habits. Men act, women chat, and nonsense will send excellent warriors to the grave.

Calm and cautious, strong and firm, heroic and belligerent will keep us in the fight.

Ammunition is the most precious when facing the enemy. Those idiots who desperately shoot to restore their self-confidence are not worthy of being paratroopers at all.

Never surrender for our leaders: either the victory of honor or the death of honor!

Good weapons can help us win, and we will definitely take good care of them. Weapons are always the first life of a warrior.

Comprehensive understanding of the mission. If the commander dies in battle, we will continue to complete the mission in accordance with the glorious Germanic spirit.

Fighting against the enemy with the spirit of chivalry will not give any mercy to those who fire black guns behind them.

With eyes open and stay excited, as sensitive as a hound, as tough as leather, as strong as Krupp steel, we are the embodiment of Germanic warriors.

The excellent warrior made his oath: "My honor is loyal!"
