Four Hundred and Ten Target Bits

When Baru led people to the barracks of the suspected British defenders, he found that the owner had changed there. The 3rd company has occupied the almost empty barracks, where there are hundreds of tents, as well as trenches and dug toilets. But it is a pity that, according to the information provided by a British prisoner, the British battalion commander left with about 30 British soldiers half an hour ago, and it is said that he went to the small town of Bit.

The good news is that the positions of the 2nd and 3rd companies were found, and the battalion commander was also found-the entire parachute battalion did not suffer as much as during the exercise. About 100 people were killed or missing, and the entire parachute area has been controlled.

By the time Boroll arrived at the battalion headquarters, his company had almost resumed its organizational system. Ninety-five soldiers found their unit, a very successful airborne operation in proportion to the loss of paratroopers.

"Boroll, your target should be here 2 kilometers away. It is roughly estimated that there should be at least 60 British soldiers stationed in this small town, and you also know that the British battalion commander is in the small town." Long pointed to the map and said, "It's 3:25, and you have less than 2 hours to occupy it. Is there a problem?"

"I said that if there is a problem, you will not give me more troops. There seems to be no difference between having a problem and not having a problem." Boroll replied with a smile: "So I think there is no problem."

"You see, it's a pleasure to hand over tasks to a subordinate like you. Hurry up and go to work! Otherwise, I'll kick your ass!" The battalion commander smiled and threw a pack of British cigarettes to Boroll: "5 At 30:00, the landing force is about to move, so hurry up!"

"No problem." Boroll nodded with a smile, then stuffed the cigarettes into his pocket, and left the battalion commander's headquarters with his weapon on his back. He gathered his own soldiers and led the 95 paratroopers along a path towards his goal.

Soon they found that the road had been bombed, and there was a large crater with a diameter of more than 15 meters on the ground. Obviously, this was a masterpiece left by the German bombers earlier. They also found that there were more than a dozen British soldiers beside the crater. corpse, and a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun.

"The guys from the air force are really accurate." A paratrooper carrying a G43 rifle stood next to the corpse and sighed. The hapless British soldiers were too close to the crater, and the shrapnel sifted them and distorted some parts of the cannon.

"If they could be more accurate, when we jumped down just now, we wouldn't have been abused by such intensive artillery fire." Baru snorted, curled his lips and said. People are like this, they always like to complain, but after complaining, life will continue, war will continue, and breathing will continue.

Soon, the outline of a small town appeared before everyone's eyes. Boroll signaled for the troops to hide, and then assigned the offensive task with several officers including Baru.

"Balu! You lead the 1st platoon to attack head-on,

If the opponent has machine gun fire, knock it out with an iron fist. The second platoon is advancing in parallel here, we don't need to wipe out each other, it's easier to drive them out of the town and finish them in the open space behind. The third row follows me, enter from here, all advancing against the wall! Try not to cross the street! said Boroll, pointing to the map.

Then he glanced at a few snipers: "You choose the sniper location yourself, but I want you to be able to provide cover for the infantry in front as soon as possible." In fact, snipers at night don't have much range advantage. Aim and shoot according to the muzzle flash of the opponent after firing, and half the accuracy during the day is already good.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at several machine gunners: "I need you to organize fire here, here, and here to suppress all visible enemy troops! Do you understand?"

After arranging all the tasks, he checked his ammunition, then bent over to his own position, waved to Balu who was not far away, and signaled them to move forward together, because he was afraid that the darkness would affect his sight, He even suppressed his voice and shouted: "Attack!"

Following the order, the German soldiers climbed over the fence and bushes around the town, bent over and stepped on the grass, and slowly moved towards the buildings not far away.

"Thuk! Thuk!" It seemed that the defenders of the town had discovered these German soldiers. A British machine gun position opened fire. A German soldier was hit in the chest and fell to the ground with a scream.

Soon the covering machine guns behind the German troops also began to roar, and the unique sound of tearing linen began to spread, and the bullets hit the British machine gun position on a high place like raindrops, and there was no sound there immediately.

The German paratroopers climbed up and continued to advance, accompanied by sporadic gunfire. Obviously, the phenomenon of airborne troops everywhere made the British a little confused defensively. They didn't know which direction the attack would take place, so they had to disperse their troops around and arrange a circular defense line, which obviously wasted their few troops.

In the attack direction of the German paratroopers, the British only had a poor dozen or so people, because most of them were still using bolt-action rifles, so the firepower density was even more pitiful. With a few shots from German snipers, the British counterattack became more sparse, and German paratroopers stormed the town with two dead.

"Clear all obstacles! First fire and then confirm the target!" Bolor ordered loudly. Before he set off, he was told a note: Britain distributed grenades to every family as a weapon to die together, so don't be soft when facing civilians.

He rushed into a courtyard with two people, kicked open the door, and pulled the trigger on the British civilians huddled inside. Soon this room was full of blood, a British soldier and a family of six were killed, and this room became a safe place.

The surrounding clearing was going on at the same time. The British finally huddled in the government office building of the town to resist. The rest of the British army and the refugee civilians were all killed.

In fact, the German intelligence service has made a bit of a fuss. Although in areas such as London and Brighton and Dover, the British distributed weapons such as grenades to civilian families, but due to the limited number, they have not been able to spread to the Norwich area. And even if it is distributed to the Norwich area, it will not spread to small towns like Bute immediately. Obviously, the German paratroopers started a massacre without knowing it.

Because of this, a third of the small town with a population of about 3,000 people died overnight. If the remaining representatives of the citizens hadn’t had the guts to go and negotiate with Boroll for a long time, the loss figure would have been even higher. higher. Knowing that the town did not distribute grenades, Boroll also wisely issued an order to stop shooting civilians.

At 5 o'clock sharp, the sky was already gray and bright. Except for two British soldiers who surrendered, the rest had been shot dead by German paratroopers. After resisting for about 40 minutes, the 67 British soldiers in the small town of Bute completed their mission of loyalty to the British Empire with the end of annihilation.

"Take this and spread all the national flags you can find on the roof!" Boroll looked at the dial on his wrist and ordered loudly: "Use that special pyrotechnic stick, if it doesn't work, find something to burn one The big 4D comes out! Hurry up!"

5:15 is the specified time for the German Air Force's second air raid on the Norwich area. After a tough battle, the German paratroopers had to get busy again before they had time to catch their breath. If they were killed by their own bombs , that would be too wronged.

Baru led his men up to the roof, and hurriedly spread a huge German flag on the roof of the tallest building in the town. Others also started to unfurl the flag nearby, but the flag carried by individual soldiers was obviously Much smaller.

After everyone assembled the cars they found into a huge swastika, the German bomber fleet in the sky also rushed to it. This time the bomber fleet flew over hundreds of Stukas with bombs and hundreds of -217 medium bombers. These planes generally flew low to distinguish the jagged German paratrooper-occupied areas.

Soon the German planes dropped their bombs, destroying some of the targets they could find. The British artillery positions near the beach became the focus of the bombing. The railways and towns near Norwich were also blown into a sieve.

Originally, there were not as many British air defense forces near Norwich as there were near London. After two large-scale bombings and the destruction of paratroopers, there were not many left. News of large-scale airborne paratroopers in the Norwich area, but until now they have not been able to gather strength to launch a counterattack against the German airborne troops in this area.

Immediately afterwards, 50 Crusader helicopters that appeared in the sky over Norwich turned out to be 50 Crusader helicopters that took off from a naval aircraft carrier. Over the British coastline appeared over the heads of the German paratroopers.

This debut was a bit bloody. Two helicopters were shot down by the British anti-aircraft firepower, resulting in the tragic end of the crash. This kind of weaponry that is obviously not suitable for appearing on the frontal battlefield is just a temporary "cameo" for his own cross-border Paid the price.

At 5:21, Montgomery, who was standing still, finally received the call he had been waiting for. In the Norwich area, he discovered the huge landing fleet that disappeared from Germany.
