The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

Chapter 55



At the French Airport, General Student was leading all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Parachute Division to conduct the final inspection.

This time, all the paratroopers were re-equipped, and everyone was carrying fully automatic weapons, and the firepower was unprecedentedly strengthened.

Each squad had four to five bazookas, so they could fight even against the British armored forces. Things like 60mm mortars were all decentralized to the company and platoon level, and there were also recoilless guns, the purpose of which was to enhance the firepower of the paratroopers.

Unlike Malta, this time they were landing on the British Isles and would encounter countless enemies, so they were basically armed to the teeth.

However, there were still people who talked a lot, thinking that there were too many weapons and that the difficulty of parachuting would increase a lot.

"You people just don't know what's good for you. Without heavy weapons, what would you do if you encounter the enemy's bunkers and armored tanks?"

"Also, bring more canned food, so that when you are surrounded, you won't be hungry and have no energy to break out."

Although the First Paratrooper Division is an elite unit, it has experienced several wars and expansions, and there are not many veterans left.���Most of them are new soldiers, their combat effectiveness is not that strong, and they don't have that much battlefield experience.

Therefore, many veterans are teaching this time, but unfortunately some new soldiers think it's too long-winded and immediately say

"Captain, when can we set off? We have been waiting for a long time."

"That's right, you see those guys in the Air Force bombing every day, and every time you hear them bragging about how many fighter planes they shot down"

"Yes, it is said that the first place has shot down more than 400 fighter planes."

"My God, shooting down four hundred fighter planes, this should be enough to win the highest level of the Iron Cross, right?"

"It is said that Marshal Catherine is applying for the Grand Iron Cross for Hartmann, which is the highest honor and no one in the entire military has ever received it."

"I'm so jealous, Captain. Didn't you say we were the ace among aces? Why are we still at war?"

"That's right, the company commander must not have applied for it for us."

"I also want to get the Iron Cross."

At this moment, a major immediately stood up and shouted loudly:"Everyone stand up, the commander is here!"

The people who were just joking stood up immediately and looked at Admiral Student who was walking in the distance with a serious expression.

"General." Everyone answered in unison.

Hearing this, Admiral Student smiled and said,"Just now I heard you talking about war? How come you can't help it?"

"Report to the general, we were just joking just now."The captain explained quickly.

"" General, when can we set off? We have been here for so long, I can't wait any longer, I also want to win the Iron Cross." A new soldier bravely stood up and said loudly.

Hearing this, Admiral Student smiled and said,"Don't worry, it will be your turn soon. Your company is the first to land, don't worry.""

"Really?" the recruit asked excitedly.

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you?" Admiral Student said with a smile.

At this moment, a communications staff officer came over quickly, looked at Student and said quickly:"Commander, the headquarters has an urgent telegram."

""Swish!" Now everyone looked at Student, their eyes full of desire, that was the expression of wanting war.

Hearing this, Admiral Student took the telegram, took a look at it, and then said seriously:"The highest order of the command: target Winchester, occupy it, hold it, and set off immediately."

After saying this, the German paratroopers present were very excited. They had been waiting for this day for a long time, and now they can finally set off.

"The mission has come. Do you have confidence?"Admiral Student said loudly to everyone.

"Yes." Suddenly the voice was like thunder.

"I order: Everyone board the plane immediately and prepare to depart."Student looked around and said solemnly

"yes!"

"Finally we can go"

"I want to give the British army a good beating"

"Ha, don't let yourself pee your pants when the time comes."

Many people were talking about it, but Admiral Student didn't care at all. He also came up step by step from the bottom, so he was very tolerant.

"Prepare another set of parachutes for me, I will lead the team myself this time."Looking at the group of young men in front of him, Student was also infected and gave the order.

Hearing this, the combat staff's face changed drastically:"General, your current status is not suitable for leading the team yourself."

After all, he is now a general, and the paratrooper unit has been expanded to the size of an army group. It is indeed inappropriate to lead the team personally.

"No, I must fight in this battle. You don't understand. Winchester's geographical location is very important."

"This is a tough battle, and I must stand with my men."Student rejected

"Go, prepare an umbrella for me, don't say anything"

"yes!"
