Chapter 1622 Griffin Special Forces Dispatched Again

Under the special arrangement of Cyric, Skorzeny had selected a group of loyal soldiers with excellent military quality from the Waffen SS in the early years. After strict training, they formed a group of soldiers. Specialized Griffin Special Forces.

Not long after its establishment, it began to work wet and dry, robbing gold from the sea and showing off its skills.

After that, after the invasion of France, it suddenly landed on the Belgian fortress, and the magic weapon fell from the sky, completing the impossible task.

This army has also become a legendary existence.

However, in the war of invading the Soviet Union, this unit did not appear very much. The large army on the ground and the large army did not need special forces to be dispatched.

The Griffin Special Forces conduct endless training in the rear almost every day. Seeing that their large troops have already entered Moscow, they have no battle to fight yet, and they have been suffocating for a long time.

And on this morning, finally, the order to fight came down.

"Attention, all troops, stop training immediately, and gather at the airport in two hours!" Captain Skorzeny's voice sounded on the training ground: "We are about to take off for battle!"

For special forces, they can appear at any time where they are needed. Therefore, in many cases, they arrive at the war zone by plane, and when they reach the sky, they can parachute directly.

However, parachuting cannot carry heavy equipment, so at this period, the more suitable than parachuting is the glider, of course, the helicopter is more suitable than the glider, but the large helicopter to meet the special operations has not yet been developed Come out, so until now, the main force of special forces equipment is still ordinary gliders.

Only a dozen small helicopters were equipped for the troops to study new tactics, but when all the troops were dispatched, only gliders were the most convenient.

While the soldiers were excitedly preparing for battle, Skorzeny also deployed tasks to his subordinates in the conference room.

The special forces are destined not to be very large. So far, the Griffin special forces are probably the standard for a strengthened brigade, with a full force of more than 7,000 people, 120 20-ton Panther 2 tanks, and various A special operations vehicle.

"Our mission this time is to quickly parachute to Stalingrad. Along the Volga River, there is a wide and flat river beach that can be used as a landing site for our gliders. After landing, we disguised as the main force and drove to Stalin. Near Gole, it put a lot of pressure on the defenders, forcing them to surrender."

After a long time, it is such a task! Hearing other people are a little dissatisfied, still a supporting role, when will you be a protagonist?

Sure enough, someone couldn't help but say: "If the defenders don't surrender, will we turn into a strong attack and go all the way to Stalingrad?"

They are all eager to fight, and now just forcing each other to surrender is not enough fun. If the other party doesn't surrender, they will fight all the way in, which is fun.

Hearing the words of his subordinates, Skorzeny shook his head vigorously: "No, no, we are not ordinary field troops, although we have been trained in street fighting, we are only fighting with a few people, we cannot fight the enemy head-on, If the other party does not surrender, then we will wait there and wait for the main force to arrive."

Therefore, the people present were disappointed.

Special forces, that is not omnipotent. Special forces are only suitable for special operations missions. Siege battles like the present are not their strengths. If they attack rashly, they will suffer more casualties.

Skorzeny knew the intentions of his superiors and the position given to them by Führer Cyric, so Skorzeny was not like the other soldiers who were eager to fight. He cared about the results and more about his troops. They are not afraid of sacrifice, but they cannot make unnecessary sacrifices.

Next to the base, there was originally a large airport with four long runways. Just between their meetings, there were already Junkers-290s flying on the runway.

This precious bomber will not be equipped for them. When they need it, the bomber unit will transfer over. Because there are not so many bombers to be deployed at a time, there are still some civil aviation Atlantic passenger planes that fly here. .

The apron of the airport is quickly full. If you look at it from the sky, this is definitely an extremely spectacular scene.

Griffin special forces are not directly equipped with Junkers-290s, but their giant gliders are fully equipped.

ME321, this type of glider has been around for a year or two. After the shotgun was replaced, the main force of the Griffin Special Forces is this glider.

It looks very fat from the outside. It is centered on a box-shaped cargo hold that is 11 meters long, 3.15 meters wide and 3.32 meters high. The front nose is a shell-shaped cargo door that can be opened to both sides, which can directly load large-volume cargo. . The cargo floor is low from the ground and has a special ramp. At the same time, the cargo floor is reinforced with a solid frame, which can carry 22 tons of cargo.

Now, there are nearly 200 such gliders, of which 120 are used to transport the main Leopard 2 tank. Although this tank is already equipped in the early stage, it is still technical in some combat situations. advantage.

What's more, the Soviets no longer have enough tanks in the war, and Stalingrad is completely supported by street fighting. If they leave the city, those Soviet troops will definitely be destroyed in an instant.

If not transporting tanks, that one glider can transport 200 fully armed soldiers. Therefore, the entire Griffin Special Forces can be delivered at one time.

This almost catches up with the battlefield transportation capabilities of the United States in later generations. After several years of development, Germany's strategic transportation capabilities are such a metamorphosis.

"Griffin special forces, go now!" Sitting on a glider, the commander of the special forces, Skorzeny, shouted loudly.

It has always been a tradition that he will not command from the back, he will follow directly to the battlefield, and his plane will be the first to fly.

The scarred-faced Skorzeny will once again take his troops to the battlefield, and this time, even Skorzeny did not expect that he will carry out a truly groundbreaking special fight.

The Junkers-290 bomber has four engines at full power, the propellers are turning frantically, and at the same time, while dragging the glider behind, the ME321 behind the fuselage has four bundled booster rockets on both sides. Also lit together.

With the help of the rocket booster, the bomber ran for more than 800 meters, then pulled the glider and took off into the air.

There are four runways, and planes take off constantly, forming a spectacular picture.
