() "We surrender, stop fighting, we surrender..."

The British troops in front began to surrender, and the scene was chaotic. The British troops behind were fleeing. Milu had to pursue them immediately, block them, and hold them for 10 minutes. When the subsequent paratroopers came, they could completely annihilate these British troops. The release of these British troops will definitely increase the difficulty for the SS to capture the next target.

As for the British captives in front, Milu made the more than 500 paratroopers who followed him responsible. He immediately ordered all the tanks to leave the road and rush forward. Escape, because there are British tanks at the airport. Unfortunately, it is about [-] kilometers away from the airport on the island of Malta. It is absolutely unrealistic for a fully armed soldier to run for [-] kilometers.

"Boom... Boom... Da Da... Da Da..."

Milu's Tucker Assault Group galloped crazily in the rough wilderness, and occasionally fired a few shots at the fleeing British troops and fired a few rounds of bullets, which made the British soldiers panic even more and threw them away quickly. Rifle in hand to lighten your burden so you can escape faster.

The British army was running wildly on the road, and the SS tanks were speeding on both sides of the road. The roaring tanks carried dust all over the sky, rolling forward, and occasionally a few shells fell into the running British army. Even the British commander It is impossible to stop the collapsing British army. People can stop the defeat like a mountain. At this time, the panic of the British army permeated the whole army. Such a huge tank attack group appeared on the island of Malta, and it was the command of the British army. Unexpected.The British army is already a group of defeated soldiers with no command, no order, and no weapons.Waiting for them can only be annihilated or surrendered.

Zhang Jun's first goal was achieved. In addition, the airborne distance is farther away, and he is unwilling to let his airborne fall into the trap of the British army. The distance of more than 40 kilometers is not a long distance for a tank. It turns out that although Zhang Jun's armored paratrooper division is equipped with only No. 37 light tanks, the thickest part of the front armor is only more than [-] millimeters, and it can't even hold the [-] millimeter anti-tank gun. Without a chance, he was defeated.

6:30 At this time, the sky was already bright, the sky was clear, and occasionally a few white clouds drifted past. The second wave of SS planes began to take off. The airport has reached 1260 Junkers transport planes. "Aunt Junkers" was still a very good aircraft during World War II, but the range was not very far, only 600 kilometers, and the combat radius was only [-] kilometers. The airborne this time was to solve this problem Therefore, all "Aunt Junkers" had to reduce the carrying capacity by one-third to add auxiliary fuel tanks, so that "Aunt Junkers" could fly back and forth.

With the launch of three red flares, hundreds of "Aunt Junkers" roared into the sky, one after another "Aunt Junkers" pierced into the sky like crows, and hundreds of planes took off at the same time. The momentum was earth-shattering, the vibrations in the air, even the tea in the control tower vibrated unconsciously, all kinds of insects in the grass in the airport panicked and swarmed everywhere, hoping to find a safe place to hide .

"Buzz...buzz..."

The densely packed "Aunt Juncker" fleets are forming in the air, because three airports are taking off at the same time, and the distances between the three airports are also different from the island of Malta. In this way, there is also an order for the airborne, the first ones will be airborne first, and the later ones will be airborne after the previous ones are finished.

……

Zhang Jun and Rommel breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the information from the communications officer at the former enemy headquarters of the SS Army in Crete. The paratroopers landed smoothly. Zhang Jun and Rommel believed that their armored assault group could definitely consolidate the airborne field. This battle should be said to have been won, at least the first step was successful.

"Report, Commander Milu is calling."

"read."

"Reporting to the commander, my armored paratrooper assault group has defeated a British division that came to attack, and is now chasing it. The SS is victorious."

"Okay, Milu did a good job, I want to ask for credit for Milu."

Zhang Jun couldn't help but beam with joy. It seemed that his plan was going well. The happy Zhang Jun hadn't gotten carried away. Zhang Jun had a cup of tea comfortably, and then asked Rommel who was in a daze in front of the map.

"My deputy commander, is our six-barrel rocket launcher ready?"

"Don't worry my commander, I have prepared a rocket artillery regiment. When the first wave of b-29 comes back, we can immediately transfer our rocket artillery to support. As long as our airborne point is safe, I can guarantee that the British will die .

The 39-type 150mm rocket launcher is a 6-connected rocket launcher, with 6 launch tubes arranged in a hexagonal shape, assembled together, and mounted on a towable two-wheeled trolley.The length of the rocket launch tube is 6 meters, the outer diameter is 1.3mm, and the launch tube has no rifling. In order to keep the rocket stable in the launch tube, there are three 160mm guide rails in the launch tube.

There is an upside-down bracket on the two-wheel traction trolley, which should be lowered and fixed during shooting to play a stabilizing role. The rocket launch tube can have a pitch angle of 5-15 degrees on the launch stand, and can rotate 27 degrees left and right.The total combat weight of the entire system is 536 kg, which is generally towed by sdkfz.11.The ignition method is a wired ignition method, and the ignition cable is generally 10 meters, so as to ensure that the flames sprayed afterward will not harm the operating soldiers.The interval between launches is 2 seconds, and it takes 6 seconds to load 90 rockets. The total length of the 150mm rocket is 0.931 meters (grenade) and 1.015 meters (smoke bomb), with propellant in the front and 26 flame vents in the tail; explosives or smoke in the rear.This arrangement is rather special, and its purpose is to increase the explosion height of the rocket when it hits the ground and explode, so as to increase the killing effect of the fragments.Rockets are stabilized by rotation.There are two types of bombs: grenades and smoke bombs.The total weight of the grenade is 31.5 kg, and the smoke bomb is 35.5 kg.The muzzle velocity of the rocket is 340 ms, and the range is 7062 meters (grenade) and 6900 meters (smoke bomb).

"Well, our deputy commander seems quite confident."

"Of course, my commander, you don't know the power of our rocket launchers. The power of a single shell can rival that of a 155mm howitzer, and a single rocket launcher can blow up a crater nearly ten meters deep. The momentum is earth-shattering, rocket warheads flying all over the sky cover the sky, countless rocket warheads are trailing with long flames, like meteors piercing the sky, watching this spectacular scene, definitely feels good.”

"Okay, let's see how beautiful you are without borders."

……

The second wave of the SS airborne was very smooth, all airborne at the airborne site, the airport and Valletta have not been captured yet, the division sent by the British army has surrendered, and 1 were captured by the SS paratroopers many people.

At 8:30, the b-29 began to return to the airport. At this time, there were hundreds of six-barrel rocket launchers waiting for the three airports. There was about one battalion for each airport. In fact, the six-barrel rocket launcher was very light, only weighing more than 500 kilograms, and it was airborne It is also very convenient, that is, the ammunition of the three bases is heavy enough, and almost all the b-29s are needed to participate in the transportation, so that so many rocket launchers and ammunition can be airdropped in place at one time.

The six-barrel rocket launchers of the SS are 4 in a squad, 12 in a platoon, 40 in a company, 120 in a battalion, and 360 in a regiment. Zhang Jun used his power as the Minister of Equipment, The SS has a separate rocket launcher battalion, which is the configuration of one army of the Wehrmacht. The main reason is that Zhang Jun and the grandsons of the Wehrmacht have different views on using six-barrel rockets. Zhang Jun's main battle is to use them intensively. The most violent blow instantly blows up the enemy to ashes.Therefore, Zhang Jun's current SS has a rocket launcher battalion for each division, with 120 rocket launchers, and the 120 rocket launchers are fired together, which is enough to destroy targets of several square kilometers.

"Quickly, you carry the guns up, you put the ammunition up, quickly...be careful...quickly."

The three airports in Crete were suddenly busy again. Everyone was busy, carrying rockets to the b-29, carrying ammunition, and the roaring voices of commanders at all levels filled the airport.

"Buzz...buzz..."

All the b-29s began to taxi into the runway. As for the crew members of the b-29s, although they flew for three hours, they must be a little tired. If they are really sleepy, they can drink some coffee to refresh themselves. The pilots of these b-29s are all selected German elite pilots, and the flying time is still not a problem for them.

A b-29 plane is like a whale in the deep sea, flying over the sky, and the b-29s all over the sky are earth-shattering, and the colors of the mountains and rivers are changing.These b-29s carry more than 300 six-barreled rocket launchers. Once they reach the island of Malta, will the British army still have a chance?There is no chance to stand up at all.

As for the British aircraft and the airport on the island of Malta, they were blown up by the ten B-29s loaded with bombs in the first wave of attacks. Of course, the airport was also severely damaged. After the SS paratroopers snatched the airport, It will be repaired immediately, which will take about two or three days.As long as the SS seizes the airport and repairs the airport, the British fleet in the port of Valletta will be completely wiped out by the German ju87 dive bombers.

At this time, the British army on the island of Malta lost the protection of the fighter planes, and there was no hope of victory. When Freiberg learned that Germany had actually parachuted an armored paratrooper division, he was surprised and did not speak for a long time. Freiberg woke up and immediately sent Churchill the latest situation and reported all the real situation on the island of Malta to Churchill.

An armored paratrooper division, the power of German armor, of course Churchill knew that although he still had more than 3 people on the island of Malta, he had lost all his planes at this time, and the airport was also destroyed. In this case, Churchill knew The island of Malta can no longer hold on.

Even though Churchill gave Zhang Jun the sinful and poisonous words, and even greeted all the women in Zhang Jun’s family, it still could not change the status quo of the island of Malta. Churchill was a hero, and he definitely had the ability to judge the situation. I will not go to death, sacrificing the soldiers of the British Empire in vain... (To be continued.)
