Seven Hundred and Twenty-Two Slogans Are Loud

The engine of the plane roared in the air, and Boroll looked at Donner who was sitting beside him, looking at his palmless left arm without saying a word. In the cockpit, which was trembling slightly because of the airflow and the engine, the lights for skydiving were already flickering.

Paratroopers, always thrown into the most hostile environments, always on a single combat mission without support, always against the most formidable enemy under the most difficult conditions. But they are the blooming edelweiss in the Alps, the little white flowers that like to bloom against the cold wind.

"Gentlemen! This is the first time we have airborne without anti-aircraft artillery attack! It can be said that everything is no different from training! The real test is how to build a solid line of defense in a short time after landing, and hold on to the position!" Boroll stood up slowly, grabbed the handle on the shaking plane, and said loudly to his subordinates: "If you are afraid of death, you don't have to jump! Now! Check your equipment and prepare to parachute."

Following his order, everyone stood up. They were silent, and began to help their comrades check the parachutes and the fixed ropes of supplies. Except for the roar of the plane's engine, the whole cabin was extremely quiet, and no one spoke. Just carry out the action on hand without pausing.

"The inspection is complete!" "The inspection is complete!" With one answer, all the soldiers in the entire cabin patted the shoulders of the soldiers in the front row, and everyone hung the rope hook used for parachuting on the fixed long handle of the aircraft. Then waited for the moment when Boroll pushed open the cabin door.

When the green light came on, Boroll pulled open the cabin door beside him, and the cold wind immediately poured into the inside of the plane, making everyone shake, and everyone squinted their eyes, after all The wind at high altitude was extremely fierce, making people frown involuntarily.

Borol looked at his soldiers, and shouted out what he wanted to say with his own loudest voice. Amid the whistling wind, the shouting with all his strength was not harsh. On the contrary, he had to listen with all his strength to hear clearly: "Gentlemen, I was always the last to jump out and made sure every paratrooper jumped out of the plane...Today, I was the first to jump out! Warriors kill with me, cowards go home safe!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped on his legs and jumped out of the plane. At the moment of jumping, he shouted a slogan. This slogan was not very loud in the noisy wind, but it echoed in the hearts of every veteran: " Damanhur!"

"I have to go down with him and take care of our sloppy battalion commander! Otherwise, he won't be able to write the summary report." Tang Na smiled and jumped out of the plane. The moment he jumped out of the hatch, he also called out the All the soldiers who experienced that battle agreed to shout the slogan: "Damanhur!"

"Damanhur!" The third soldier didn't say much, and jumped out of the plane door dragging a pile of supplies. During his years as a paratrooper, his specialty was killing people and firing non-stop. Killing the enemy on the opposite side is not talking.

So he jumped out of the cabin of the plane so quietly, but even though he was as silent as him, he still shouted this sentence: "Damanhur!"

As one after another German paratroopers jumped out of the plane, Damanhur's shouts echoed in the sky, getting louder and more orderly. These shouts made the monotonous roar of the engine create waves, and made all the soldiers swinging in the sky feel the indomitable spirit.

Yes, they are the German paratroopers, the ones who will never back down no matter how difficult the conditions are and how bloody the battle is. This is the pride of edelweiss, the pride and dignity of the German nation. They are the toughest fighters, the strongest and most fearsome!

At the tail of the plane, small white parachute flowers bloomed one after another. These parachutes looked extremely small in the sky, but there were more and more of them. At the beginning, there were tens of hundreds of them, and in the end they became tens of thousands. . None of the cowards remained in their planes, and all jumped out of the plane, slowly falling in the cold wind blowing in the sky.

The paratroopers who airborne in Marin used parachuting, because there is not a big military airport near Marin, and at the same time, a large number of transport planes arrived at Ivankov, where tens of thousands of soldiers were unloaded from the field airport. A German paratrooper. The scale of the airborne operation was unprecedented, because instead of going deep into the enemy's rear, the German army dispatched a large number of planes and dropped more soldiers than normal airdrops regardless of losses.

In fact, there was no loss. As the airflow continued to descend, these paratroopers finally landed safely in the suburbs near Marin. They were going to gather nearby, and then obtain the supplies that had been hidden nearby. A solid line of defense against possible desperate attacks by the Soviet Red Army.

As paratroopers landed on the ground one after another, Borol was not even a little unaccustomed to the environment without the sound of gunfire and artillery fire from the other side. He put away his parachute and ordered the surrounding soldiers to start collecting these supplies. After all, some Things can be recycled, and Germany's strategic reserves are not abundant, so it can save as much as it can.

Some soldiers began to collect the parachutes of nearby soldiers, and the remaining soldiers began to gather and divide their formations. Some paratroopers who could not find their troops temporarily waited for their direct troops, while most of the soldiers who found their troops began to Organize important things such as ammunition and food.

In the forest not far away, a train slowly drove out of the woods. More than a dozen wagons were piled up with ammunition, tents and other military supplies. The German soldiers on the train held guns until the train stopped. In the center of the paratrooper assembly point, the seal on the wagon was torn off. The iron door was pulled open, and tons of supplies were unloaded to supplement the airdropped paratroopers.

"There are 3,000 anti-tank rocket launchers here, as supplementary weapons and equipment for you! Marin is the last line of defense in the north of Kyiv! I will leave it to you!" A German police officer in charge of escorting the train faced Boroll and other paratroopers The officer stood at attention and saluted, and then left a copy of the receipt record, pointing to the soldiers on the train: "They also replenished it for you, and assigned it to your command!"

Farther away, an independent heavy tank destroyer battalion lined up with more than 40 Tiger tanks. The battalion commander was reporting to General Student, who arrived here earlier: "This heavy tank destroyer battalion was ordered to reinforce here. General! Now I am assigned to your command! The whole battalion is not full, and there are 41 Tiger tanks, all of which are lined up here, please exercise your command!"

"Rest outside my command post and stand by! We still have to build Marin's fortifications, and you just happen to participate. I'm not a professional armored commander. You need to judge whether it is better to use tanks in the wild suburbs , or deploying your battalion in the urban area will achieve greater results." Student said to the battalion commander as he walked to his temporary headquarters.

"It depends on whether you think about the counterattack later, if..." the battalion commander followed Student's pace, and said as he walked forward.

"Major, we don't need to fight back." Student interrupted him, stopped and looked at the major battalion commander: "Get ready to shed your last drop of blood here in Marin! Here is A tomb, to bury the enemy, and our own tomb!"

"Exhaust all means to annihilate as many enemies here as possible, and still hold our defensive positions within the specified time, or after the specified time, this is the combat style of our paratroopers, we do not attack, because we are in the sky The task of attacking has been completed; we only defend, because our feet are already the territory of the empire!" After saying this, he took his assistants and continued to move forward, while the independent tank of the SS destroyed The battalion commander just stood there, looking at the tall figure who had walked a long way.

"Buy all the landmines in front of the defensive positions! Let's set up crossfire in the fields on both sides of the road! Set up foxholes, make good use of those farmhouses and nearby high ground! Set up observation posts, sniper positions!" Boroll pointed According to the surrounding terrain, assign tasks to your soldiers.

Several paratroopers ran to both sides against the mg42 machine guns on the bipods, and arranged cross-firing points. Cooperating with those mines and obstacles, they could pour out 1,000 rounds of ammunition on the entire belt in the shortest time. Then retreat with guns, away from this protruding defensive position.

Every paratrooper is an expert and the most superb defense master. What they are best at is to use the simplest possible arrangement to complete the strongest defense. Because most of the time, they don't have time to build sophisticated fortifications. All they can rely on is the rough terrain, the weapons in their hands and the tenacity in their hearts.

So the paratroopers began to set up simple defensive positions protruding like tentacles on several places that must pass through Marin. They arranged a small number of soldiers to stick to these positions, wait for the enemy to arrive, and retreat immediately after a surprise attack to delay the opponent. Increase the attack speed and gain more defense time.

For the paratroopers, there is no fortification that will never be broken. What they insist on is a time before which they will do everything possible to stop the opponent's attack. This is what they are best at, blocking the enemy step by step until they die.

"Send a reconnaissance force to confirm the enemy's location! Send a telegram to General Lister! Just say that we have arrived at the designated location!" Student put down the binoculars and said to his assistant.
