"No problem, our people will first focus on those leaders. After they get rid of them, the rest will have no combat effectiveness." Morris said with a smile.

"They are all very caring about their lives and are under layers of protection." Caroli said.

"Haha, let's wait and see." Morris was too lazy to explain anything.

At the same time, on an airship field in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, at least 30 K-6 and K-8 bombers were lined up at the airport. This time, they no longer took bombs to act as death-related harvesters, but as a means of transportation, and together with the selected Bavarian elite infantry, they completed the actual first airborne combat.

A modified k6 bomber can carry a squad of soldiers and the equipment they need, while a modified k8 bomber can transport a platoon of soldiers or carry more than 2.5 tons of supplies to the sky above the war zone.

"Brothers, we are all the best soldiers selected from grassroots combat troops. We are skillful, wary, and resourceful. Neither the British and French troops on the Western Front nor the gray animals of the Russians can satisfy our desire to challenge, so we came here and used a dagger with wings as a mark for a brand new force! We received at least 3 months of special training. Now, it is time to test our results. Our enemies, they are hiding deep in the city, and God told me that Budapest can no longer bear the brilliance of cannon fodder again, so this time, the kingdom needs us to take action! Find these hidden cockroaches one by one and kill them!" On the wide runway, the elites of the first paratroopers in Bavaria, the Munich Special Paratroopers Battalion, gathered here to make a general mobilization before departure.

So far, among the more than 800,000 troops in Bavaria, there are only 2,000 people who can wear "winged daggers" on their shoulders, which is at most a regiment. The three subordinate combat battalions are the Munich Special Paratrooper Battalion, the Nuremberg Paratrooper Battalion and the Prague Paratrooper Battalion. They are named after the three most important cities in the territory under the control of the Vettelsbach family. All paratrooper combat troops are composed of volunteer soldiers who have been through the battlefield. Each of them has mastered various light infantry weapons within the Bavarian Legion, but also proficient in blasting, geotechnical and other engineer operations. Basically, it represents the peak of Bavarian infantry combat power at this stage!

After the brief mobilization, the 500 paratroopers and soldiers who participated in the battle in the Munich Special Paratroopers Battalion began to make final preparations for their dispatch. The first thing they had to do was to check their personal umbrellas.

Each soldier will be equipped with two items, one is a parachute bag on his back, and the other is an equipment bag for storing materials for combat. The latter is usually buckled on his legs when he is parachuting. (From top to bottom, it can be basically understood that there is an infantry hanging under the top parachute, and a bag of things hanging on his legs...) As for what if he gets injured when landing, what is not simple? Just open the snap on his legs when he is about to reach the ground. Just throw the equipment bag down first, and then look for it after landing!

Originally, at the beginning of the establishment of paratroopers, some German paratroopers officers hoped to separate personnel and equipment. After all, even if they were buckled on their legs, the movement of personnel was still inconvenient. Unexpected accidents were likely to occur when paratroopers in this era. However, later experiments proved that the accuracy of paratroopers in this era was really bad... Generally speaking, a company was thrown away by people, and the paratroopers and a large number of supplies in this company were too large for walking areas. If the paratroopers were just carrying pistols and a few grenades, it would be too dangerous at the first time of landing, and the troops' survival ability was worrying.

Therefore, in the end, the Bavarian paratroopers decided to adopt this tactic of putting equipment and personnel together. However, in order to reduce the load of soldiers, the equipment package is generally equipped with only paratrooper semi-automatic rifles (cut barrels and lightweight semi-automatic rifles), submachine guns, magazines, medical kits, and a packaged emergency ration.

As for machine guns, ammunition boxes, explosives and blasting equipment, these things should be loaded with special airdrop boxes. The airdrop boxes are divided into two types, one is a round metal box. This metal airdrop box has a length of 170 cm and a diameter of 40 cm. The air is 40 kg and the maximum weight is 140 kg. Because machine guns, as well as tool boxes, optical scopes or sniper rifles, are required to be placed in this box. More precise things like this are: so there are some fillings as buffers inside the box.

Another type of airdrop box is made of wicker. Compared with the metal box, this box looks shorter and thicker. It is 90 cm in length, 50 cm in width, 40 cm in height, and weighs about 20kg (including parachutes and ropes). It can be loaded with supplies above 120 kg. It can be airdropped alone or two can be tied together and thrown down. It is generally used to hold various food, tools, engineers and weapons and folding carts... That's right, you're right, sometimes, airborne personnel who lack vehicles and horses have to work part-time as porters...

The main equipment of this paratrooper unit is mainly paratrooper semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns. At the same time, it can also ensure that each squad has one mg machine gun and at least two grenade launchers. As for the artillery? If the 60mm mortar is counted, then a company will have three. As for other heavy weapons? Sorry, this is really gone...

In fact, even in World War II, as the first wave of paratroopers jumped off the plane, they carried very little equipment. Most of them were light weapons, more powerful, such as the Germans' LG40 recoilless cannon, 150mm large-caliber mortar, and the British jeep and 6-pound cannon. These weapons were either sent down by transport planes after occupying the airport, or transported by bombers and gliders. In this era, do you go to find various large transport planes? And even if the transport planes are barely qualified, there are not many real large airports in the world. Civil aviation has not developed, and there are very few airports!

The Bavarian Legion had thought of using gliders to transport a large amount of supplies, but there was only one large airship field in Budapest, which was very far from the target area. If you landed from that, it would be better to let the army push it over little by little. So, in the end, this first-time paratrooper unit was really average in terms of equipment and planning. It would not be as amazing as the famous Crete airborne combat in World War II or like the city garden. (Although the former suffered huge losses and the latter failed, it was really exciting, well! The defeat was also wonderful!)
