An airborne regiment was quickly assembled at the airport. Along with the arrival of this airborne regiment, there were a total of 500 ground crew members and their tools and equipment.
With the help of the paratroopers, the airport quickly became busy. Ground staff were responsible for replenishing fuel for the C-47 transport aircraft that had run out of fuel. The fuel had been prepared in the reserve oil pipe next to the airport.
The entire airport was busy. Because the plane was flying at a higher speed, Eiland Hill's paratroopers became the first reinforcements to arrive at Grecken.
A few hours later, the dragon knight troops of Eiland Hill also arrived nearby. Along with them, the dragon knight forward troops of the Eternal Empire arrived with them.
Of course, because they belong to different forces, the two sides are not stationed together. Ailanshir has its own camp, while the Dragon Knight troops of the Eternal Empire are deployed further away.
The second batch to arrive at Grecken was the Airland Hill fighter unit. After the ground staff made preparations, the hurriedly arrived P-51 Mustang fighter jets began to land on the runway of the field airport in batches.
Due to insufficient range, the me-109 unit can only guard the mainland. In this expedition, the air force of Alan Hill can basically be said to be an all-American aircraft unit.
The transport planes use C-47, and the fighter planes use Mustangs. The bombers use B-25 and B-17, both of which are classic American long-range aircraft. Because of the range, the Air Force can even attack the classic IL-2
I didn't even bring the machine.
"It's hard to imagine that the speed of reinforcements from mortals is as fast as the speed of the Eternal Empire. Theoretically, they are farther away, so this is really a miracle." Sitting on the hillside, the she-wolf just now said something to her.
A giant wolf with scars on his body said.
"I hope they can play a role on the battlefield... But look at those flying machines, they are really fast." The giant wolf's voice was a little hoarse, and he said: "Take the children and leave here, retreat to
Go to the second line..."
"How can I leave you alone? This is our home, we should guard it." The she-wolf looked down at the huge airport and said.
The giant wolf was silent for a while, and then said again: "This time, we may fail... So, take the children and leave..."
"My dear, look at those mortals. They have no reason to come here to fight for us. If we leave, what will their efforts be for?" The female wolf licked the giant wolf's wound and pressed it with her head.
The giant wolf said softly.
"They are fighting for themselves! Me too... That's why I asked you to take the children and leave. This place will soon become hell." The giant wolf sighed, shook his head and said: "Listen to me...
"
Finally, her eyes fell on the wolf cubs who were still playing. The mother wolf choked with sobs and agreed: "Okay, if the situation gets worse, I will take them out of here."
Just as they were talking, another C-47 transport plane landed on the airport, and another group of soldiers opened the door and jumped out of the cabin. What was different from before was that these soldiers were all wearing magic robes. They were
Eilandhir's own magical army.
"Open! Open the back door!" In another field airport not far away, a ground crew member directing unloading was loudly ordering his subordinates to open the nose of a giant transport aircraft.
The NBE-323 transport aircraft is the largest transport aircraft currently produced by Airland Hill. Its main purpose is to transport heavy weapons and equipment for paratroopers.
While everyone was watching, the giant me-323 transport plane opened its huge nose, revealing the deep space inside. Two pedals were thrown down from the plane, creating a ramp.
A light tank slowly drove out of the cabin.
This is a support tank specially produced for the Airan Hill paratroopers. It is actually a German Panzer 2 tank. Equipped with a 20 mm caliber cannon, this tank has a crew of three and can provide important fire support for the paratroopers.
And attack and cover.
After all, there are not many tanks that have space to carry radios and can be stuffed into the me-323 transport aircraft, and specially designed tanks seem a bit redundant, so in the end Chris chose Tank No. 2 to serve as a paratrooper tank.
After testing, the performance of this light tank is still very good, the price is cheap, and the firepower is sufficient. After being modified to use a 30mm caliber cannon, the combat effectiveness has also been improved to a certain extent, and it can be used as a frontline tank equipment.
Perform combat missions for paratroopers.
The nbe-323 transport aircraft can barely fit into a No. 2 paratrooper tank. In order to fit into a tank, Chris also made some small modifications to the me-323. This time, the paratroopers reinforced Greiken, No. 2
Paratrooper tanks became the main force of armored forces supporting early operations.
On the other backup runway of this field airport, another me-323, which was bloated and heavy, stirred up a cloud of dust on the runway.
It can be seen from its landing posture that the body of this aircraft is also equipped with a heavy No. 2 tank. If you want to transport personnel, the C-47 is obviously more suitable.
A dozen No. 2 tanks that have been unloaded are gathering on the high ground on the side of the airport. Accompanying these tanks, there is also a battalion of paratroopers who are unloaded here at the same time.
In fact, the paratrooper commanders of Eiland Hill did arrange it this way: they insisted on using me-323 to transport the No. 2 tank and C-47 to transport personnel. Anyway, there are so many c-47s that there is no need to worry about waste.
.
In addition to being unable to transport tanks, the C-47 transport aircraft with amazing capacity can transport almost anything.
It can carry paratroopers, carry weapons and ammunition, and transport heavy weapons and equipment, such as rocket launchers and large-caliber mortars.
On the first day, the Airland Hill Air Force, with its amazing capacity, delivered 3,000 paratroopers and 50 tanks to the Grecken area.
Joining forces with the Dragon Knights who arrived later, Airan Hill's paratroopers controlled an entire area and formed a solid bridgehead. They were ordered to station here to cover the arrival of subsequent troops.
Early the next morning after learning about the arrival of the Ailan Hill reinforcements, Vivian, the magician responsible for contacting the Ailan Hill Empire, came to the defensive position of the Elan Hill paratroopers and briefly explained the current situation.
War situation.
"The situation is very bad. We are retreating steadily...Yesterday, two more high-level magicians similar to me died." Vivian spoke uneasily about things on the front line.
She glanced at Air Force Paratrooper Commander George Hart, whom she did not recognize, pointed to the paratrooper defense position in the distance and said: "I need you to push forward about...your distance unit, 12 kilometers, along the river
Establish a defensive line and then try every means to defend the creek."
"12 kilometers, if we hike, it will take us about 3 hours. If we need to be fully prepared... we will need about 10 hours." Looking at his watch, George Hart answered.
"We will hold back those demons. They are mainly composed of low-level demon dogs. They are very large in number, probably... about one hundred thousand." Vivian blushed and said, "I'm sorry, you have just arrived.
Rickon must participate in such a high-intensity battle."
"We have no problem. In 10 hours, I will establish a defense line on this river. The Air Force will dispatch bombers to cover us. Only after contacting the enemy can I make a detailed analysis of how long we can hold on." He pointed on the roughly sketched map.
Referring to Air Force Commander George Hart, the commander of the 1st Airborne Division of Airland Hill who was responsible for commanding these paratroopers, he spoke.
Vivian nodded, her face behind the mask was full of exhaustion. She had been participating in the war for almost ten hours now. The magic reserves in her body had been exhausted, and the magic robe on her body was also full of dust.
It has long lost its original elegant appearance.
However, she was still polite and maintained the etiquette of a senior magician, saying thank you: "No matter what the outcome is, I still want to thank you for coming to help!"
Hart didn't say much, just nodded his head slightly, turned around and shouted to the six battalion commanders waiting there: "The 3rd Battalion of the Regiment stays to protect the absolute safety of the airport! Set up a circular defense line!"
"The remaining troops only carry one day's rations and take away all the ammunition they can! Set off within 10 minutes and head west to the place called the Bol River on the map to establish a defense line along the river!"
"Take away all the weapons you can! We don't know how strong the demon army's defense is! So bring rocket launchers and mortars as much as possible!"
After giving a series of orders, he looked at Vivian: "We need you to cover for a period of time to ensure that our weapons are effective against demons, and then you can leave."
Vivian nodded and looked at the scarred giant wolf behind her: "I will stay here with Mr. Boken of the wolf tribe. We need time to recover, but if we help you deal with the demon dogs, there will be no problem.
of."
Behind Hart, the paratroopers loaded with ammunition had already begun to set off. The No. 2 tank was piled with heavy ammunition boxes and staggered forward.
These paratroopers sang high-spirited songs, carried their fully automatic weapons, and marched neatly towards their battlefield.
"Is this their first battle?" Sitting on the side of the road, the giant wolf Boken asked Vivian beside him uneasily: "Do you think they are reliable?"
"Whether they are reliable or not is not what I say, but it depends on their performance..." Vivian was not sure whether these mortals, who were participating in such a terrible war for the first time, had the courage to face what they were about to face.
