Chapter 1747 Landing
so cold!
In the cabin, everyone wrapped their military coats tightly. The glider is not completely sealed, so the height is not too high. At the same time, cold wind can still be poured in from the gap, which is almost the same temperature as the outside.
Nestor rubbed his hands so hard that he almost felt numb. He looked at the altimeter, and there was less than 800 meters left. At the same time, a tall mountain appeared in front of him again.
Opening his eyes wide, Nestor carefully searched and searched, just between the mountains in front, suddenly there was a gap, yes, it's here!
Nestor pushed the lever, pedaled the rudder, and the bloated giant glider flew toward the slit, which happened to be the canyon between the two mountains!
If you look at it from a distance, the canyon is not wide, and it is only a small section that is wider than the wings of the giant glider. It seems that as long as there is a slight accident, it will hit the mountain next to it.
However, the two gliders were like swifts, flying freely and gracefully into the valley.
This is a necessary course, if you fly from the top of the mountain, there is not enough course for a while to lower the altitude, and then land.
At the same time, as long as this valley is found, it is easy to find the pre-determined landing spot No. 1.
The glider continues to lower its height, and at the same time, the people in the cabin behind have opened their eyes and are ready to work!
Going all the way, his body was going numb, Skorzeny shook his arms, feeling that his whole body's energy was slowly recovering.
Ready to land!
The glider was still flying forward, flying, constantly changing direction around the twisty valley, and suddenly there was a light.
In front, it is already Gotthob, the largest city on the island, and there are still some buildings. The area of the city is not small, and you can see it from a distance!
Gotthob is on the west coast of Greenland. At the same time, if Germany wants to land across the sea, it must have landed from the front.
Therefore, the American defenders here all set up positions on the coastline, intending to fight bravely when they landed in Germany, but behind Gotthob, it belongs to an absolutely safe area, because there is Rolling hills!
The Germans would not be stupid enough to drop paratroopers in the east of Gotthob, which would definitely be courting death. At the same time, because there were not many defenders on the island, there was not much defense in the east.
It's very empty here.
"Attention, prepare to land." After that, Nestor pushed the operating lever violently, and the giant glider almost hit the ground.
The height was too high, and he had to lower it quickly.
In front, that small flat area almost the size of a football field was their best landing ground.
After the glider dived, Nestor pulled up when it was about to hit the ground. At the same time, almost as soon as the glider was pulled up, the wheels were already in contact with the ground.
The wheel bounced up again, swayed in the air for a while, then landed again and rolled forward. Nestor stepped on the brakes and stopped the glider firmly at the end of the clearing.
"Quick, quick, quick!" The moment he stopped, Skorzeny shouted loudly, and everyone took action and quickly opened the hatch and ran down.
The cold wind was whizzing, slashing on the face like a knife, and the temperature here is several degrees colder than Iceland!
At the same time, Skorzeny was also very satisfied. I am afraid that only his subordinates could easily operate the glider to land in this cold wind.
"Buzz, buzz." The engine of the IWC truck was started, and the sound was very high-pitched. A typical gasoline engine is not particularly suitable. Germany still likes its own diesel trucks, but the intelligence shows that in Greenland, there are no Without Ford's diesel trucks, it may be that diesel trucks are not easy to start in extremely cold weather, so I can only have this gasoline vehicle.
Climbing from the front cockpit, Nestor got on the IWC truck, and now his duties continue to be the driver, just driving the glider, and now driving the car.
The hatch was opened, Nestor started the truck, got off immediately, and then slammed on the brakes.
A famous soldier, expertly jumped into the truck and sat full in the back, while at the front, Skorzeny opened the door and entered the cab.
Almost at the same time, the second glider also landed, and the pilots used superb technology to almost stop behind the first one, and they also quickly drove out of the car.
Two cars, more than 80 people, quickly drove towards Gotthob.
Skorzeny, who was dressed in military uniform, looked so energetic, he pressed the brim of his hat and lit a camel cigarette.
The two cars continued on the mountain road, Skorzeny looked at his watch, it was past one o'clock in the morning.
The road is still not very dark, no driving lights are needed, and the two cars continue to move forward, getting closer and closer to the city.
Just after turning an intersection, and looking from a distance, Nestor suddenly changed his face.
"There's a checkpoint ahead," Nestor said to Skorzeny. "Should we just rush through?"
The intersection is barbed wire, and there are machine gun positions next to it. It seems to be specially designed to deal with the German army that may infiltrate. Visually, it is the level of an infantry squad. However, there is no one outside now. It's on.
The barbed wire was blocking it, and it was impossible to rush past. If a shuttle of bullets hit it now, it should be able to wipe out everyone in the tent, but Skorzeny suppressed this urge and said calmly: "According to the situation, first Don't push hard."
When investigating intelligence, there is no checkpoint here. It seems that it was set up just last night. It is best to take out the first and pass the best. If not, then do it. If it has an impact, it will startle the snake.
Nestor nodded, stepped on the accelerator, and rumbled forward.
At this moment, the sound of the car rumbled, and this movement disturbed the resting American soldiers inside. A soldier was carrying an M1 carbine on his back, smoking a cigarette, and slowly shaking his head, looking at the car coming here, he pulled He asked in a loud voice, "Which part are you from?"
"The 69th Infantry Division, quickly open the roadblocks for us." Skorzeny said in fluent English: "This ghost weather is so cold, everyone is frozen, hurry into the city and rest."
