Chapter 977: Waiting for the Glider

When I jumped down from the top, I felt the whistling cold wind blowing, and everyone felt very cold.

When skydiving, the weight is limited. If the weight below is too large, the falling speed will increase, which may lead to skydiving accidents. Now, they dare not wear thick military coats. Although they are leather jackets, they are quite of cold.

When his feet touched the top of the mountain, Eric felt his feet soften and stepped on the snowdrift, which was pretty good!

If you step on hard ice, you might break your legs, but now, stepping on soft snow can provide enough cushion.

Eric put away his parachute and buried it in the snowdrift. If the parachute is found, it will definitely be searched by the large army. A small team like them may encounter risks.

Next, the first thing he has to solve is to find the equipment that he just dropped, and join a few other people!

In the snow, after walking for more than 20 minutes, he was very lucky and found a package, which happened to be the thick and warm coats of four people!

He quickly put on his clothes, and suddenly, his body felt warm, and then his luck ended here.

It was only until dawn that they met with the second friend, and the four of them gathered together to collect all kinds of equipment, including the search for the most important telegraph machine. It took two days!

Can't make a fire, can only eat hard dry bread, the water is frozen, can only eat snow, relying on strong perseverance, several people finally overcome all kinds of difficulties.

"Tonight, we touched the vicinity of the chemical plant, marked it, and waited for our glider to arrive." Eric said to several other people. Although their physical strength was severely exhausted, each of them was excited.

The equipment is complete, now, it's time to go to the chemical factory!

Why don't they use a glider when they come down? Because these are all mountainous areas, they simply can't find a suitable landing site at night. Only when they parachute down first and guide the glider's landing site to the people behind can they guide the glider to land.

At the same time, the explosives and other equipment of the real heavy water factory were also transported by gliders.

One foot is deep, the other is shallow, stepping on the snow, a few people go to the foot of the mountain, the altitude here is 1,300 meters, so although summer is about to enter, the mountains in high-altitude areas are still covered snowy.

In the mountains and forests here, there are almost no people coming, but a few people still walked cautiously. Eric was familiar with the terrain here. He was a guide in front of him and trekked hard in the mountains and forests for six hours. When, finally, the branches of the big tree were pushed aside, an open space appeared in front of them. A few hundred meters in front of the open space was the Wemoker Factory.

Near the factory, there are no guards in sight, no different from before! Eric was quite excited and shouted to the people behind him: "Peter, immediately send a telegram back to tell them that we have reached the designated location and the landing site will remain unchanged!"

The glider will carry enough explosives. After landing from here, a charge can hit the heavy water factory and completely blow up the entire heavy water factory. When the Germans reacted, they had already retreated safely!

Peter, who was carrying a heavy telegraph, propped up the telegraph and wore earphones, and beside him, another companion, stretched out the antenna high and placed it on the branch of the tree trunk.

"DiDi, DiDi." Soon, the telegram was sent, and almost ten minutes later, he received an echo: "Tonight, we will mark and wait for the glider, around eleven o'clock. arrive."

Dongfang has already turned white, as long as they survive the day and night here, they will carry out this mission!

He put the telegram away again, but saw a signal light above it, which began to flash. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly: "No, the battery of our telegraph is dead."

Most of the equipment in this era is tube, only Germany has entered the transistor era in advance, which is also quite secret.

The electronic tube consumes a lot of power. These days, they are wandering in the mountains. The cold and humid weather has reduced the power storage of the battery. Now, after the telegram is sent, the power is actually exhausted!

"It doesn't matter, we have completed the task." Eric comforted his subordinates, we don't need radio contact tonight, just wait for the glider here.

Eric didn't know that their wait was not one day, but three months!

Swallow's telegram was long overdue, but the news still made Stevenson, who arrived in Greenland and came to direct in person, very excited, and he immediately ordered to prepare for departure!

Last time I just used a light plane and dropped four paratroopers, but this time, I needed to drop two large gliders!

Historically, the British used the Halifax bomber, a four-engine heavy bomber, to perform this task very easily, but unfortunately, with the early occupation of Britain by Germany, this bomber did not come out at all.

At the same time, in order to avoid political troubles, the United States provided the C-47 transport aircraft, which is exactly the same as the DC-3 used in civil aviation. In case of an accident, it can be covered up.

At the same time, the "Horsa" glider, the proudest of the British in World War II, was successfully tested. The glider, which has a wingspan of 27 meters, can carry 32 infantrymen or 3.2 tons of combat equipment, and has also not entered the trial production stage.

The British assault pair can use the CG-4 military glider developed by the United States. This type of glider can carry 2 crew members and 13 infantrymen. In this way, a sortie of 15 people, two gliders can accommodate 30 people, and it should be said that there is no problem in blowing up the Vymoke chemical plant.

The night in Greenland was bitingly cold, and Stevenson stood in the snow-covered airport, watching the planes that were about to set off.

The Norwegian boys look full of energy, the cold wind can't make them flinch, the arduous task will only inspire them to be more courageous!

"You guys, history will remember you, you are about to fight the bravest battle to win this world war." Stevenson said to them: "Now, go, to blow up the evil enemy's factory!"

The soldiers turned around and ran onto the glider. Finally, Friedjov, who got on the glider, closed the hatch, looked through the small cabin, looked at the lights on the runway outside, and quickly backed away.
