One advantage of being tired is that you have slept deeply enough for a long time. There is no such one-night dream. When Kitchen Jr. was awakened by the commotion around him, it was already bright. A ray of sunshine shone in from the small window of the basement, just like the light from heaven!

"attack! Attack! "
Someone with a familiar English accent was crying out in panic about the room of dilapidated buildings, but it was disturbing that little Kitchen picked up his little belongings and ran out with his companions. How disappointing it was that teams of German planes formed in a goose formation when they flew from the north!
As the German fleet approached the port, sparse anti-aircraft guns finally sounded near the port. Poor black smoke roots could not stop the surging attack on the German army. Those fighters and bombers swaggered to disband the large formations and swooped in groups. In a blink of an eye, some ships were still moored in the harbor, and white water columns appeared. In the city, there were people fleeing in panic. Crying constantly, little Kitchen turned around and followed a group of British soldiers desperately running towards the open area outside the city. On the way, he met a German fighter plane with low-fire bullets, but several unlucky people were beaten all over the spot. At this time, little Kitchen finally showed his "extraordinary" courage. He ran over to check on his companions and got two rows of rifle bullets from the dead.
At ten o’clock in Greece, Kitchen Jr. met a German attack, sometimes there were a few stars, sometimes there were a lot of people, and the attack rate was sometimes very high. But more often, the German left had to take care of the airport’s take-off and landing resupply ability, and it would be a long time after an attack. This time, the targets in Crete became the focus of their attack. The German fighters took turns to attack all morning, and there were few gaps. It was difficult for laymen to be more nervous when they looked at thousands of enemy planes.
The dive attack of German bombers is still amazing. Today, even those single and double fighters are frequently chasing the fleeing Coalition officers and soldiers, and their posture is extremely fierce. Little Kitchen has found a remote corner and squatted down. He ate some inexplicable food yesterday, and his stomach cried unwillingly. He took off his pants to relieve himself for a long time, but he squeezed out a few "toothpaste" and missed the clean toilet in a Canadian mansion. He heard another buzz in his ear. When he looked up, this group of German planes still did not disperse when they arrived in Crete, forming a small formation. Waves and waves looked like the waves at high tide.
When there were a lot of black spots in the day, Kitchen Jr.’ s first reaction was that he had been squatting for too long and blinked, but now those black spots suddenly turned into flowers of various colors, swaying and expanding rapidly.
"German paratroopers! Damn it! Shoot! Guns! "
Not far away, a British noncommissioned officer shouted in his mouth, and at the same time, he took a rifle in his hand and aimed at it a little, then he hit the fire.
Kitchen, Jr. felt a tingle in his heart and ran a few steps forward in his pants. At this time, the rifles around him have increased a lot. Seeing that three soldiers are loading their heavy machine guns into the bracket, Kitchen, Jr. quickly filled the two rows of bullets into the gun, skillfully pulled the bolt, raised the gun, aimed and shot, and even moved his concubine in one go.
In the absence of German fighter jets strafing and bombers dropping bombs, the only regret is that France can confirm its own achievements.
The continuous shooting relieved the tension before. However, after the last ejection, Kitchen Jr. had to ask his companions for bullets, but by the time he put new ammunition into the gun box, the dense gun had come from all around. Such a hasty and unorganized shooting method was used to deal with the sudden drop of German paratroopers
Kitchen Jr. and a few Jin of his companions are wondering whether to continue shooting German paratroopers who haven’t landed or to deal with those who have landed and someone shouts "Guys, come with me!"
Turn around and see that it’s a junior officer of the 6 th Army with a high umbrella. Little Kitchen, who no longer wants to carry a gun, followed the past and drew a bayonet from the scabbard while running. The shooting accuracy of the bayonet rifle will not be affected. It will still be important in close combat!
After running for a few minutes, I saw that a group of German soldiers had organized a defense on the opposite hill. Dozens of allied soldiers were shooting at each other at a distance of more than 200 meters, but the German paratroopers landed one after another, which greatly distracted their attention. During the fierce fighting, people kept falling around, which made little Kitchen no longer worry about ammunition, but the more he hit him, the weaker the situation became. After two successive steps, the sight was full of yellow-green and white parachutes!
Under the pressure of the shape, Kitchen, a young man, consciously fell to the ground and shot at the active German paratroopers. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly he felt that the airflow was chaotic and barely looked up. He happened to see a plane passing over his head and suddenly felt a chill!
The plane quickly slipped down in a wide area not far away. Little Kitchen watched a group of German soldiers get out of the plane. He finally realized that it was a glider. The Germans also hit the hatch at the back of the fuselage and pulled out a mortar from the inside. After a little adjustment, it slammed into the area where there was still Coalition resistance. Although everything was born in sight, Little Kitchen could not help it! The German soldiers who came down continued to increase the number of guns around them, but gradually weakened. Seeing that they were a few meters away, two Greek soldiers held their rifles high and shouted some words that he didn’t understand. Little Kitchen was stunned. Near the Malama airport, three huge German heavy gliders had landed firmly. It is said that those who are afraid that the big guys can transport tanks will not be long before the German tanks with long-barreled guns appear in the rear hatch of the fuselage. In this era, such a scene is a bit of a flying fairy!
Accompanied by the loud bolt of Mao Se rifle, a rude cry came from behind. Little Kitchen could guess that it meant threatening himself to surrender. He had exhausted all the bullets in the gun before giving up his resistance. He comforted himself like this. When he turned to the fierce German soldiers, he suddenly remembered an occasional saying before his old father, Don’t fight the Germans!
Chapter 21 Sea Race
At the beginning of making the treasure "Water Star Warfare", Studente believed that the enemy should be confused and supported by law at the same time at multiple targets based on the successful experience of Deren Chongwei and Holland, and finally seven drop points, such as Gania, Ray Simenon and Iraklin, were selected. After the battle started, thanks to good weather and excellent organizations, the German transport fleet took off from Athens, a huge port, and delivered many soldiers and their equipment and ammunition to the predetermined targets accurately. After the initial fierce battle, the German soldiers would "expand their achievements like oil clearing and spreading" as Studente expected.
"report! I just received a report from the Paratrooper Division that the 2nd Paratrooper Regiment successfully captured Malama Airport under the guidance of descending tanks, but the runway facilities there were seriously damaged in the previous bombing, so I’m afraid it would be a shame to take off and land for a short time. "
In the face of the communication officer’s report, Studente’s face was tense and complicated. He turned to look at the young minister of military war "Xiao Or"
In Mercury, in addition to a stick-to-the-bottom plan, German staff officers have carefully prepared a number of contingency plans to facilitate the construction of field airports in relatively flat and wide areas. Generally speaking, they can temporarily benefit light combat aircraft with good take-off and landing capabilities, benefiting from solid supports and fuselage. However, the disadvantage of this method is also obvious, that is, the loss rate of aircraft during take-off and landing will be much higher than that of regular airports, and it is not necessary to find a flat land to immediately switch to field airports. It can be long or short when ground personnel have to clean it up.
The plan is to receive ships from Italy and Greece to transport heavy weapons, including a small and elite 6-army armored unit and necessary ammunition for heavy howitzers, to the northern port of Crete occupied by German troops before the sea control is completed.
"Old Sir, although we have achieved great success in the Isle of Wight and Cardiff, people still don’t believe that we can win a battle independently by lowering our troops!" Rogan said irrelevantly that it is true that the SS "Yuan Leibstandarte" regiment and the Army "Herman Goering regiment waved irreplaceable 6 troops in the Isle of Wight War, and the victory foundation of Cardiff War was small, while the German army in Crete not only deployed the elite old division in the southern Greek port to stand by for two naval cruisers" prinz eugen "and" Emden ",but also did not want to catch up with the army for thousands of miles. However, the high command lacked full confidence in Crete’s inevitable victory and independent completion of the war.
"Even if we reduce the number of troops and land on the island, it will still be an absolute disadvantage of 20 thousand to 40 thousand," Studente said realistically
"But we have a comparable advantage in the whole day, and" our troops are saving their strength and such a glorious battle is just the baptism of their first-stage battle! Rogan is obviously full of expectation for such a force that is heading for a military rampage.
"I quite agree with this," Studente thought for a moment. "Do you mean that the existing troops are rushing to the strategic points instead of trying to hold the port?"
Their eyes returned to the map. This Crete is geographically long from east to west, short from north to south, and the narrowest place in the middle is Lei Simenon, where German paratroopers need to push south for more than ten kilometers to completely cut off the fact that the allied forces are connected with the east and west on the island. German troops are also trying their best to expand this terrain.
"It’s not necessarily a good thing to stay in the port!" Logan’s eyes wander in Crete, Alexandria. At this moment, except those cruisers and destroyers that have been deployed in the southern waters of Greece, Andrew Cunningham, a stubborn old sailor, is heading for Crete with his main ship.
It’s a pity that the Italian navy was defeated in a naval battle and lost confidence. Despite the support of the German army, they are not willing to take excessive risks to enter the southern Greek waters to lead Rome to Pailin. The original text of the newspaper "Army 6 and Army 6 are different from each other, and they need to be built and scraped for years to form. When the final victory is coming, we should protect them as well as possible instead of rashly fighting the enemy in last stand."
Studente took a thoughtful look out of the window. The headquarters of the drop-off war was chosen in a big room facing the harbor in Athens. The window just faced the blue sea for a long time. The combative general who had been eager to forge the drop-off spirit made a decisive decision. "One enemy and two victories can truly reflect the essence of the drop-off war. After many years, if someone asks me about my decision today, I will say goodbye to her for ten days. This is a battle belonging to German paratroopers." "We are trading for the end of the southern European war in the shortest time and at the least cost." Logan’s face is not satisfied as expected.
Just as Logan and Studente decided to continue to take the action of "pre-plan exhibition", Marshal Kesselring reached his "pre-plan" because he had just received the report from the reconnaissance plane, that is, the 6-base bomber force attacked a British ship that was wandering in the Peloponnese of Crete to cover the transport ship that had just set sail from the southern ports!
The German fleet has arrived at the taranto military port in southern Italy, but it still takes some time to refuel and adjust the equipment. After a long journey, the crew involved are also exhausted. In this case, the Italian navy only sent four destroyers and two torpedo boats to escort the troops, which made the Germans quite dissatisfied.
Fortunately, the fleet taking off from Fengnan Airport in Greece quickly found two British cruisers with gray and white bodies according to the coordinates of the reconnaissance plane, followed by three main ships of the British destroyer Andrew Cunningham transferred from the Far East Fleet, but these light ships were enough to threaten the German army to cross the sea, and there were dozens of Coalition ships withdrawing troops from the islands in southern Greece in this not-so-wide sea area!
After the Japanese standard, the Stuka fleet roared and dived from a high altitude, while the British ship attempted to evade the bomb by high-snake maneuver tactics. Fourth, Zhou Haishui surged and the sea was blown up by bombs. The water column was like a tower, and sometimes the warship seemed to sneak in the falling water column. A deck building of a British cruiser was hit by several 50-kilogram light bombs. Although the shrapnel had a greater killing effect, the hull was not damaged, and the second cruiser was also slightly injured. Although several German blockbusters were several meters away from the warship, they did not directly hit it.
The German army took turns bombing until noon. Two high-powered British cruisers retreated with injuries, but some other British ships were still cruising 30 nautical miles west of Crete. After learning that the German army was organizing ships to advance to Crete, the British commander immediately organized these combat vessels into a fleet of fast firepower, and suddenly attacked the waters in the northwest of Crete!
This time, however, the British miscalculated, and it was not inefficient for them to face the Italian army. The British fleet was soon caught in a fierce attack by the German army. A large number of dive bombers took off from airports in southern Bulgaria and northern Greece, and their mouths filled the gap. They attacked one after another and lasted three times.
When!
A bombshell exploded near the British cruiser Bonaventure, which damaged two turrets and cracked one side of the ship’s side. Many leaks were caused by the strong bulkhead in the cabin. Fortunately, this old cruiser sank and continued to drive.
Compared with the anti-cruiser "Carrier", it was not so lucky. The German bomber threw a blockbuster and hit it directly. The bridge was there to direct the battle. All the British officers were killed. The ship suddenly fell into a panic. Although the rest of the ships were shooting and maneuvering at sea in an orderly way, with the anti-aircraft gun ammunition decreasing, such an action was questioned by the officers. The worst thing was that the German double bombers were separated from a group of Stuka and suddenly appeared in the north. In the fierce attack, two British destroyers were hit by heavy bombs and the fragile hull method was used to resist the amazing explosion. Each side turned over and sank into the sea!
The worse the situation, the British fleet continued to March stubbornly westward, and their efforts finally paid off. At 25 nautical miles south of Milos Island, Greece, they intercepted more than a dozen German motor boats heading for Crete. These Axis ships, which were called "mosquito troops" by British commanders, immediately fled as soon as they saw the smoke in the white smoke of the British fleet. The accompanying Italian navy torpedo boats spewed black smoke and flew like a snake to cast smoke around the fleet. However, the British fleet’s fierce artillery fire soon spread. After sinking them and suffocating them, the British cruisers and destroyers chased them for half an hour, and then sent seven German ships with surface ammunition to the bottom of the sea to help many German officers and men of the 6 th Army return to the shore! b
Chapter 22 War Notes
"In the last three days, there will be concave trains crossing the bridge, averaging four hours a day. To ensure the smooth roads, we have deployed four anti-aircraft guns on several nearby hills, and I guarantee that an enemy plane trying to get close to it will be beaten into a hornet’s nest!"
When the Gorgeous Sea Six-dimensional Battle was coming to an end in the warm southern Europe, it was on a railway bridge in the northeastern Polish city of Shchitono. An officer dressed in a fat-making system of the German Sixth Military Academy was inspecting the situation of the German generals. At his side, an eager-looking, bushy-lipped Sixth Army general was stroking the rusty steel beam with great care. According to the convention of Polish campaign and offensive on the western front, the German team would not deploy its main force to the offensive position early. They often put on a pretense to confuse their opponents, and then their excellent railway system would attack in large numbers shortly before the attack.
Looking at the general’s words, the 6 Military Academy quickly explained, "Although this railway bridge was built more than 30 years ago and has experienced the baptism of wind, rain and war, its structure is still very intact. We have asked the engineers of the railway forces to check it carefully to ensure that there will be no quality problems! General Pavilion, please rest assured that we will definitely let your tank troops enter and leave the position in a timely, safe and accurate manner! "
"I am worried that it is not a problem before the attack!" The 6 th Army will calmly say that the double-sword Silver Oak Knights Cross shines with glory in the sun.
"So you are worried that after the attack, the enemy will try to destroy the bridge and cut off our logistics supplies?" The fat school manager smiled calmly and said, "We have maintenance parts on both sides of the bridge. Generally, bomb damage can be repaired in 12 hours. If the damage is serious, we will dispatch engineering troops and poison gates from nearby to repair the train!"
"That if the enemy attack here? Can you guarantee that this bridge will not fall into the hands of enemy tank columns? " The 6 th Army made this question suddenly felt by the officers around it, especially in the fat school. He hesitated for a long time, and the sweat ran down the temples. "General guderian, are you kidding?"
At the age of six, the Sixth Army will shake their heads with their hands behind their backs, but they won’t say anything more. When almost the world’s attention is drawn to the southern Balkans, there are still many sober people who are carefully examining all directions. Recently, the all-powerful armored hero on the western front has been patrolling all over eastern Poland. He has not only paid great attention to inspecting the road logistics preparation, but also devoted great attention to every move on the "East Wall". It is this meticulous military spirit that makes him see some clues from some seemingly ordinary incidents. However, after the report was submitted to the high command, it was shelved without conclusive evidence.
"If that’s the case," Fat School took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, "we really need to make some improvements to deal with all kinds of possible situations!"
This kind of self-flattery has not achieved any effect. Before leaving, the commander of the 6 th Army of China told him, "You should keep your soldiers on high alert no matter what happens!" "
Smedente has been deploying those troops that have been sent to Crete from the Athens War Command before the teachers of the drop divisions arrive in Crete, regardless of whether the British still have the ability to crack the new code group of Enigma. After careful double encryption, the British can never break the battlefield quickly and accurately. The German drop troops in Gania, Crete, built an east-west defense line in the urban area and the eastern suburbs. Although it is four kilometers wide, it is enough to locate the Malama airport. Rozobos Peninsula was well protected, and the second batch of demoted German paratroopers Xun played the role of Cheng Bing. They peacefully built a field airport on the few roads in this peninsula and deployed a cordon guard post near the coastline.
Before dark, the first batch of "Keyi" made a landing attempt, and as a result, three planes were seriously damaged and brought near-stew materials at the cost.
