Weiley Brandt is now wearing the combat uniform of the Air Force paratroopers, sitting in a Fokker 42 transport plane belonging to the French Air Force, he received the Knight's Iron Cross after the Soviet-German War, was promoted to sergeant chief, and even got the opportunity to train officers. However, Comrade Brandt, who was in his heart, opposed the German war of aggression and expansion, refused the opportunity to become an officer and made a request for demobilization.

But his superiors asked him to make a choice between the officers' schools and the airborne training schools (when he was asked to go to the airborne school because the General Staff of the National Defense Forces ordered soldiers and non-commissioned officers who could speak fluent English to go to the airborne soldiers). In order to be able to leave the German army that he hated earlier, Brandt had to choose the airborne training schools. In his opinion, landing in North America was a matter of the Marines and the Army, and the airborne soldiers should not be allowed to come on the field. In this way, he would not have to kill the Americans for Hitler's ambitions, and of course he did not have to worry about becoming cannon fodder for Nazi Germany's ambition to conquer the world.

In the Airborne School, he learned to parachutize, completed the "platoon leader training", and was transferred to the 1st Paratrooper Division as the platoon leader in early 1945. What he never expected was that the 1st Paratrooper Division where he was actually a vanguard invading the North American continent!

Just as he regretted his choice, and at the same time he confessed to the cruel nature he showed on the battlefield (he did not want to kill, but he couldn't control his killing after going to the battlefield). He suddenly found a French soldier looking at him curiously. Could it be that the weak expression on my face attracted the attention of the French fascist? Thinking of this, Brandt quickly glared at Mitterrand with a fierce look.

This was the fierce look of the murderous Nazi devil, which immediately scared Mitterrand and quickly pretended to look down at the time. Time passed by minute by minute by second. Soon the red preparatory alarm light in the cabin lit up, and Mitterrand heard someone shouting in German: "Stand up!"

The plane was shaking constantly, and all the German paratroopers had already stood up. They began to check their equipment and helped each other to tie some of the equipment they carried. Mitterrand quickly stood up and walked in the shaking cabin. When he reached the door of the cabin on one side of the plane, he grabbed the handle beside the door with one hand and the door handle on the door with the other hand.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The roar of anti-aircraft guns rang in Mitterran's ears. He looked out through the window on the aircraft cabin door. He did not find any smoke balls that exploded from the shells. It was obvious that the one who was being bombarded was not the Fokker 42 transport aircraft group.

However, the plane still trembled very much. Mitterrand knew that this was caused by the Fokker plane's full speed flight.

Seeing everyone standing up, Brandt continued to give his order loudly: "Check the equipment for the last time! Everyone confirms the parachute! Start!"

"No. 1 is finished!"

"No. 2 is finished!"

"No. 3 is over!"

“…”

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the shell explosion became louder, and Mitterrand saw clusters of black smoke appearing in the sky outside the window that made people scared to see it.

It turned out that the plane had already penetrated over Newfoundland Island!

The green indicator light suddenly lit up, and Mitterrand quickly opened the aircraft's hatch door, and the cold wind mixed with the smell of gunpowder blew on his face. He turned his face and looked at Brandt with the handsome face trembling by the wind, shouting in stiff German: "You can jump!"

Brandt waved his hand and everyone hung the parachute hook on the suspension pole on the plane.

At this time, the plane suddenly trembled violently. When Mitterrand heard the motor change his voice, he immediately shouted: "Hurry, hurry up! Jump quickly..."

The paratroopers on the plane also knew that one of the engines of the plane was hit and turned off. Now they could not wait any longer and had to parachute immediately! The paratroopers lined up and jumped down from the open cabin door one by one. Mitterrand was disappointed to see umbrella flowers opening all the parachutes without malfunctioning. It was a pity!

Just after Brandt jumped out of the cabin door, Mitterrand heard another terrifying loud noise, and then a violent cold wind blew, and fragments in the cabin flew everywhere! The Folk 42 tilted to one side and dived in a curve. Mitterrand knew that the trouble was going to be big now, and it seemed that the plane could not fly back.

"Skydiving! Skydiving! Our plane can't stand it..."

Someone shouted at Mitterrand in French. Mitterrand didn't want to jump because a war was going on below that he didn't agree with at all! But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump.

Unlike fully armed German paratroopers (the current German paratroopers have made great progress in the skydiving technology, and everyone can carry individual equipment to parachutize), he is an aircrew at the French Air Force Transportation Command, and he carries a small self-defense pistol with him. It is not okay to use it to fight!

Mitterrand, who slowly fell to the ground under a parachute, had already made plans. After going down, he would surrender as soon as he saw the American freedom fighters. He would rather be a prisoner than be an accomplice of the Nazis!

Mitterrand, who made up his mind, quickly landed safely on the ground, drilled out of the parachute, took off the parachute bag he was carrying and threw it on the ground. Then he bent down to a small grass, and used this as a cover, and finally began to search carefully for the American freedom fighters who should be beating the German paratroopers.

But he was disappointed to see dozens of less than a hundred German soldiers scattered on a desolate flat ground, with almost nothing, and had already set up a warning formation, and some people had set up the mg42 machine gun.

As for the American freedom fighters, it is normal that there is no trace. Although the Americans have set up more than 200,000 troops on Newfoundland, this island has an area of ​​110,000 square kilometers! In Europe, it is a medium-sized country.

There were not many troops on a large area of ​​land. Moreover, the Americans did not expect the Germans to airborne on Newfoundland, and they would not expect the Germans to directly use transport planes to send tanks to Newfoundland. Therefore, the focus of their defense was to areas that were suitable for landing along the coast, and the German paratroopers were airborne far from the beachheads suitable for landing, so the US military's troops were relatively empty. Of course, there was no defense at all, otherwise the plane Mitterrand would not have been shot down. Later, Mitterrand realized that there was a small military airport near the German airborne location, so the Americans deployed some 127mm, 90mm and 40mm caliber anti-aircraft artillery there.

Just as Mitterrand was expecting American freedom fighters to come and capture him, the Germans had already discovered him first.

He saw two German soldiers running towards him with fg42 paratrooper rifles, and hurriedly stood up from the grass, raised their hands high, and shouted in German: "French! I am the French Air Force... I am a German friend!"

Two German soldiers had recognized his uniform and put away their guns. One of them said to Mitterrand in very fluent French (he was probably from Lorraine-Alsace or Luxembourg) "Password! Remember what the password is?"

"Seagull, the password is a seagull." Mitterrand quickly answered.

The German soldier turned his head and shouted to the sergeant: "Our own! He is a French friend!"

The sergeant commander was Brandt who hated this war deep in his heart. He was the highest rank among the more than 100 German paratroopers, so he became the temporary commander of this company-level cluster.

"Let him participate in our battle!" Brandt had recognized Mitterrand, "Ask him if he has a weapon? If not, give him a pistol."

After arranging Mitterrand, he recruited several platoon leaders and squad leaders to his side, and a map spread out on the ground. Brandt half-squatted down and tapped a place marked with the airport symbol on the map, saying, "We should land near this airport... Our location should be a flat platform, very spacious, and can land the zso523 assault transport plane. But I think we should still try to occupy that airport, otherwise when zso523 lands, the anti-aircraft guns there will knock down a lot of those big-bellied planes."

Although Brandt hated this war and had no favoritism for the ruling Nazi-Motherland Party alliance. But he is now a screw on the German war machine and can only plan actions according to various plans that had been formulated by the above. He is also responsible for the lives of more than 100 German paratroopers who temporarily belong to him. He cannot leave them on the desolate sand and gravel ground waiting for the Americans to massacre, and must take action!

After he assigned the task, someone said to him: "Sergeant Commander, a few more brothers came. They seemed to be dragging a lg45 recoilless cannon."

The lg45 type recoilless gun is a 105mm caliber recoilless gun. It is the most advanced recoilless gun owned by the German Wehrmacht. The initial muzzle velocity (armor piercing bomb) reaches 403 meters per second, with a maximum range of 8,000 meters. The effective range of the armor piercing bomb reaches 850 meters, and the effective range of the grenade reaches 3,100 meters. The power is quite amazing!

However, this kind of artillery cannot be airdropped with paratroopers, but must be placed separately. It is hard to say whether it can be picked up by paratroopers in time.

"Okay!" Brandt glanced at the recoilless gun installed on the wheeled gun mount from a distance and nodded: "Bring it with you. If you encounter an American tank, use it to deal with it. Also... Are the communication soldiers there?"

"Here!" Someone responded immediately.
