Chapter 441: A Planned Accident (Sorry, It's Too Late)

On the Feijou Mountain in the northwest of the connection line between Aachen and Laureusberg, the last beacon is lit alone.

This is the last one, go ahead and see no more, because Belgium is already ahead!

Here, is the separation point for the gliders, where the gliders will glide by themselves and covertly over the Maastricht Cape in the Netherlands in order not to let the Belgian army detect the sound of the aircraft's engines.

However, the weather conditions played a joke on them.

The east wind has always been blowing here, and they are flying against the wind, but today, unexpectedly, the west wind!

In this way, it became a tailwind, and as a result, they flew all the way, ten minutes earlier than the expected time!

In this way, it is impossible to synchronize with the general attack. At the same time, because of the tail wind, the altitude of the aircraft is too low, only about 2,000 meters. According to estimates, it must be 2,600 meters to allow the glider to glide properly. angle to the target.

But now, the height is not enough, they have to continue to tow the glider forward, and the powered flight will be a little longer, so that the glider can land there with greater confidence.

You know, this time their glider will fly nearly 100 kilometers without power!

Therefore, the Junker-52 transport aircraft, at the final separation point, did not immediately release the glider, but continued to move forward.

The three engines are roaring, and the flight of the piles of Junkers-52 transport aircraft is even louder.

The plane crossed the border, headed over the Netherlands, and continued to fly.

"Glide away!" After continuing to fly forward for more than ten kilometers, the transport plane finally completed its mission.

Shake the wings to tell the glider troops behind, where skilled pilots flip a switch and the ropes disengage.

The gliders that got out of the ropes lost all power, and all gliding by the advantage of altitude. Because of the tail wind, their gliding was very smooth.

One after another, the gliders left the transport plane that pulled them and embarked on their journey.

Behind Hans, the glider that was pulling it also broke away. At this time, the sky was still dark, but in a few minutes, the east would turn white.

The gliders separated from the transport plane and flew in the predetermined direction. After dawn, they could visually land over the target, and at this moment, suddenly, there was a loud sound of artillery fire below.

"Boom, boom!"

With the sound of artillery fire, streaks of bright light were drawn from the ground to the sky, which were tracer bullets of anti-aircraft artillery!

The Dutch army discovered the arrival of these planes. Instinctively, they thought that bombers were coming, so all the anti-aircraft guns fired into the air!

The searchlight emits beams of light, hitting the sky. If it is covered by the searchlight, the plane will be in trouble, and the aircraft will be torn apart by the anti-aircraft artillery shells.

A Junkers-52 transport plane, quite unfortunate, it fell into the beam of the searchlight, it flew crookedly, and made various escape movements, but the other party had already been eyeing him!

Our own transport plane is at risk.

Seeing this situation, Hans, who was originally in the dark, immediately made a decision.

Pushing the lever, Stuka began to dive down, and as the speed increased, the shrill sound of the whistle resounded through the sky in the fixed landing gear.

Stuka, it's Stuka!

Immediately, the Dutch soldiers operating the searchlight lost their composure. For several years, wherever this kind of sound sounded, it meant that there was a terrifying bombardment!

How to do?

If the searchlight is turned off at this time, they will definitely be safe. In the dark, even the anti-aircraft artillery only exposes the target when it fires, but the searchlight is always revealing its position.

But if they turned off the searchlights, their anti-aircraft guns would be blind and unable to take out the bombers in the sky.

They can't close, they have to hold on!

At this moment, the whistling sound became sharper, and then, a few hundred meters above the head, a tongue of flame emerged.

In order to tow the glider, Stuka did not carry bombs, but he still had fixed cannons to use, and when diving almost vertically from the sky, his attack accuracy was quite high.

"Da da da," With the fire on the wing, a shuttle of MG17 aircraft machine gun bullets swept a line on the searchlight position, and on the ground, there was a chirping sound, after the line moved for half a meter , in close contact with the searchlight.

"Bang," the glass of the searchlight burst, followed by the rupture of the bulb, and as the bulb burst, the searchlight went black.

At this time, countless anti-aircraft artillery had already aimed at the hooded Junker-52. Almost at the moment when they were about to fire, the sky darkened.

The Junkers-52 transport plane, which escaped from death, turned left quickly, left the terrible airspace, and accelerated to return.

At this time, Hans continued to dive towards the ground, strafing, as long as there was an antiaircraft gun, he would appear!

When a searchlight hit Hans, he did not hesitate to dive towards the searchlight and kill him! His skilled ground attack skills completely frightened the searchlight soldiers on the ground.

A bomber actually set the entire anti-aircraft artillery position on fire!

At this time, the transport planes all left the Dutch airspace, and the gliders continued to fly forward.

The sound of antiaircraft artillery here also alerted the defenders inside the Eben-Emar fortress.

For them, it was a sleepless night.

Since the German invasion plan was intercepted, the German plan to cross Belgium to attack France was leaked, and as Belgium's most important fortress, it was the focus of the German attack.

Although Belgium still has hope for peace, the troops are also ready, and guarding the fortress is a defensive force of 1,200 people from the 7th Infantry Division of the Legislature.

They are still full of confidence in guarding this fortress.

All personnel can be in the bunker 25 meters below the ground, and have drinking water, food and a lot of ammunition for long-term use. Unless it is a huge 400mm or more naval gun, this fortress can be destroyed.

At this time, Major Bridgetland, the commander of the fortress, was listening to the sound of anti-aircraft artillery fire in the distance. For him, this was a signal that the war was about to start!

"Be careful, the German bombers may come." Major Bridgetland made his own judgment.

In fact, this kind of night bombing will not have much effect. After all, the bombing accuracy in the dark is too small. Although the sky will be bright outside, there are still anti-aircraft artillery here. Cannons will be able to deal with the opponent's bombers.

In terms of air defense, they don't need to think too much. Like other fortresses, their most important thing is to deal with the enemy's ground forces.

He didn't know that he had made a big mistake this time.
