When the forward garrison troops of the Thirteenth Belgian Division raised their heads, hundreds of white dots in the sky were forming and expanding.
Although they had long heard that the German paratroopers had appeared many times and had previously captured the strongest fortress in Belgium, the Eben-Emaar Fortress. However, they could only see this airborne paratrooper with their own eyes.
, these poor Belgian soldiers realized the fear in the rumors.
Some officers who responded quickly urged the soldiers to fire into the sky quickly. However, they were only a second-rate division to begin with, and their anti-air firepower and shooting accuracy could not be guaranteed much. And even the first-rate infantry division in the Belgian Army was relatively weak.
It will be difficult for Bi to deal with this airborne enemy force.
In the sky, Adrian could even clearly hear the whistling sound of bullets, and the ballistic position gap between him and the Belgian soldiers was less than ten centimeters several times. He felt that he was almost a target in the air, leaving countless bullets on the ground untouched.
Many Belgian defenders shot at him. But fortunately, from the height he was at, the counterattack firepower on the ground was not intensive. It was estimated that the number of defenders was only about one platoon, and they were all rookies aiming at the bottom.
The moment he landed on the ground, Adrian completely let go of his mental arithmetic. From this moment on, he will dominate the entire battlefield!
After getting out from under the parachute that was spread over his body, Adrian quickly unbuttoned the parachute and temporarily threw the parachute aside. Then he picked up the MP40 submachine gun fixed on his chest, bent over and rushed forward with a strong step.
He headed in the general direction of where the airdropped ammunition boxes fell in his mind.
Now, all airborne paratroopers only have one shuttle of ammunition. If they want to ensure their combat effectiveness, they must immediately collect the airdropped ammunition supplies.
Fortunately, their airborne position was about 5 kilometers behind the defenders of the Belgian Bridge, so there was no need to worry about the enemy for a while.
In panic, Adrian quickly found three comrades. Fortunately, these three were soldiers in the same class as Adrian. Two of them were using conventional G43 semi-automatic rifles, and one was holding a rifle.
An improved version of the g43 equipped with a 3x scope, it is a precise shooter.
"Squad leader, when I just came here, I saw the air-dropped weapon and ammunition boxes." The precision shooter held up the slightly crooked helmet on his head and reminded: "There are six soldiers using combat pistols temporarily guarding it.
I saw that they also set up an mg42 machine gun that was dropped from the air, and it looked like something serious."
"Of course you have to be cautious!" Adrian pointed at him, signaling to lead the way quickly: "They are doing the right thing. We are in enemy-occupied territory now, the more cautious the better."
The precision shooter nodded, raised the improved version of the G43 rifle in his hand, turned around and walked in front of the four people: "Follow me."
Soon, Adrian and his party found the weapons and ammunition airdrop point mentioned by the precision shooter. There, in addition to 6 soldiers who did not belong to Adrian's infantry squad, there was also the deputy squad leader Luke who was partnered with Adrian.
, Luke, who had arrived a step earlier, decided to stay here and wait for the rendezvous with the main force. So, he held his MP40 submachine gun and joined the guarding position of 6 soldiers.
"The number of people is almost there!" Adrian led the team over and took out a compass to compare.
Including the 3 people brought by Adrian and himself, as well as the 7 Luke people guarding here, there are already 11 fully armed soldiers here, reaching the standard of an intensive class. An intensive class already has the requirements
It was a preliminary scale for carrying out combat missions, so Adrian said that the number of people was almost there.
"Luke, please discuss with them and ask these six people if they are willing to perform the mission with us." After confirming the location of a landmark chimney, Adrian used the chimney as a reference and determined it with a compass.
The location of the combat target. Then, he started to get everyone around him to vote.
"There's no need to ask. The soldiers on their gliders are originally the losers who supplement the combat order." Luke replied with a smile: "Before you guys came, I just had a chat with them and I'm sure there will be no problem."
Because the number of paratroopers in a squad is ten, they usually all sit on the same JU-52 transport aircraft and land together. However, even if they land together, their landing positions are different.
It is not an easy task to gather all the soldiers in each squad. Many times, due to time-consuming issues, their squad leaders can usually only lead the team to perform tasks after gathering some members.
Other warriors who have not found a team can temporarily join other squads to fight, and then plan their formation after the mission is over.
On the other hand, in order to improve the efficiency of each squad leader in gathering troops, the six paratroopers with combat pistols who hang on the wooden glider behind the JU-52 transport aircraft each time will serve as a supplementary combat team for each squad leader to recruit.
After confirming the position again, Adrian waved his hand and said loudly to the six soldiers: "Then let's all advance to the east together. According to the plan, our squad's task is to connect with the other two squads to capture the east side.
Bridge defenders. The enemy has at least one platoon, so I need your help."
"Okay, sir!" The oldest veteran among the six took two steps forward, stood at attention and saluted: "Our team can accompany you to set off at any time."
A few minutes later, this improvised formation, led by Adrian, headed to the location of a forward infantry company of the Belgian 13th Division.
On the way, Adrian met two more paratroopers who were traveling together. Although they were not in the same squad, they were quickly drawn into Adrian's temporary squad and became members of this temporary team.
When they arrived near the Belgian army's position behind the bridge, Adrian finally joined his platoon leader.
"Okay, Adrian. I only have a total of 9 people here, and you brought me 13 people in one shift." The battalion commander said with a smile.
To be honest, if it hadn't been for the arrival of Adrian Ban, he really didn't know how to use 9 men to capture a position where a company of enemy troops was stationed.
Adrian first glanced at the 40mm grenade launcher held by the platoon leader, and then said: "Platoon leader, we have a grenade launcher now, and I brought you an mg42 machine gun. In terms of firepower,
It can be said that they will never be worse than the Belgians with inferior weapons on the battlefield."
Pointing to the soldier with a scope on his gun behind the platoon leader, Adrian continued: "With the addition of the precision shooter I brought, we already have two precision shooters, which is enough to control the battlefield situation.
