Chapter 169: Join the war

An airborne group quickly assembled at the airport, accompanied by the arrival of the airborne group, there were a whole 500 ground crew, as well as their tools and equipment.

With the help of the paratroopers, the airport quickly became busy, and the ground crew was responsible for refueling the c-47 transport aircraft that had run out of fuel. These fuels were all prepared in the reserve pipeline on the side of the airport.

The entire airport was busy, and because the plane's flying speed was higher, Ailan Hill's paratroopers became the first reinforcements to arrive at Gricken.

A few hours later, the dragon knight troops of Ailan Hill also arrived nearby, along with them, and the dragon knight forward troops of the Eternal Empire.

Of course, because they belonged to different forces, the two sides did not stay together. Ailan Hill has its own camp, and the Dragon Knight troops of the Eternal Empire are deployed farther away.

The second group of fighters arriving at Gricken was the Ailan Hill fighter unit. After the ground crews were ready, the p-51 Mustang fighters that arrived in a hurry began to land on the runway of the field airport in batches.

Because of the lack of range, the me-109 unit can only guard the homeland honestly. This time the expedition, the Air Force of Allan Hill, can basically be said to be an all-American aircraft unit.

The transport plane uses the C-47, and the fighter plane uses the Mustang. The bombers used B-25 and B-17, both classic American long-range aircraft. Because of the range, the Air Force did not even carry the classic Il-2 attack aircraft.

"It's hard to imagine that the reinforcements of mortals are as fast as the eternal empire. In theory, they are farther apart, so this is really a miracle." Sitting on the hillside, the she-wolf just now was right. Said a giant wolf with scars on his body who rushed back.

"I hope they can play a role on the battlefield... But looking at the flying machines, the speed is really fast." The giant wolf's voice was a little hoarse, and he said: "Leave the children here and retreat. Go to the second line..."

"How can I leave you alone? This is our home, we should guard it." The she-wolf said, looking down at the huge airport.

The giant wolf was silent for a while, and said again: "This time, we may fail...so, take the children and leave..."

"My dear, look at those mortals. They have no reason to come here to fight for us. If we leave, what are they paying for?" The she-wolf licked the wound of the giant wolf and pressed her head against it. The giant wolf said softly.

"They are fighting for themselves! The same is true for me... That's why I let you leave with the children. This place will soon become hell." The giant wolf sighed, shook his head and said, "Listen to me... "

In the end, her eyes fell on the young wolves who were still playing, and the she-wolf choked up and said, "Well, if the situation gets worse, I will take them out of here."

While they were talking, another C-47 transport plane landed on the airport, and another group of soldiers pushed open the door and jumped out of the cabin. The difference is that these soldiers are wearing magic robes. They are Ailan Hill's own magic army.

"Open! Open the back door!" In another field airport not far away, a ground crew commanding the unloading was calling out loudly and opening the nose of a giant transport plane.

The nbe-323 transport aircraft is the largest transport aircraft produced by Ailan Hill today. Its main purpose is to provide the paratroopers with the transportation of heavy weapons and equipment.

In the eyes of everyone, this giant me-323 transport plane opened its huge nose, exposing the deep space inside. Two pedals were thrown from the plane, and a **** was built, and a light tank drove out of the cabin slowly.

This is a support tank specially produced for the Ailan Hill paratroopers. It is actually a German No. 2 tank. This tank equipped with a 20mm caliber cannon, with 3 members, can provide important fire support and cover for the paratroopers.

After all, there is space to carry the radio, and there are not many tanks that can be stuffed into the me-323 transport plane. The special design seems a bit redundant, so in the end Chris chose the No. 2 tank to serve as a paratrooper tank.

After testing, the performance of this light tank is still very good, the price is cheap, and the firepower is still enough. After refitting the 30mm caliber cannon, the combat effectiveness has also been improved to a certain extent, and it can be used as a frontline combat vehicle for paratroopers to perform combat tasks.

The nbe-323 transport plane can barely fit a No. 2 paratrooper tank. In order to fit a tank, Chris also modified the me-323 a little bit. This time the paratroopers reinforced Gricken, and the No. 2 paratrooper chariot became the main force of the armored force in early support operations.

On another spare runway of this field airport, another bloated and heavy me-323 threw a dust on the runway.

It can be seen from the landing posture that this aircraft also contains a heavy No. 2 tank. If you want to transport people, the c-47 is obviously more suitable.

More than a dozen No. 2 tanks that have been unloaded are gathering on the high ground on the side of the airport. Accompanying these tanks is a battalion of paratroopers unloading here at the same time.

In fact, the paratrooper commanders in Ailan Hill did indeed arrange this: they insisted on using me-323 to transport No. 2 tank and c-47 to transport personnel. Since there are so many c-47s, there is no need to worry about waste.

In addition to the inability to transport tanks, the c-47 transport aircraft with amazing capacity can transport almost anything.

It can carry paratroopers, can also carry weapons and ammunition, and can also transport heavy weapons and equipment, such as rocket launchers, such as large-caliber mortars.

In the first day, the Allan Hill Air Force, with its amazing capacity, sent 3,000 paratroopers and 50 tanks to the Greken area.

Converging the Dragon Knight troops that arrived later, Ailan Hill's paratroopers controlled an entire area and formed a stable bridgehead. They were ordered to station here to cover the arrival of subsequent troops.

Early in the morning after learning of the arrival of the Alanhill reinforcements, Vivian, the magician responsible for contacting the Alanhill Empire, came to the defensive position of the Alanhill paratroopers, and briefly explained the current situation. The situation.

"The situation is very bad, we are retreating steadily... Yesterday, two more senior magicians similar to me fell." Vivien was very disturbed and talked about the front line.

She glanced at George Hart, the air force paratrooper commander who she did not know, and pointed to the paratrooper defensive position in the distance: "I need you to move forward about... your distance unit, 12 kilometers, along the river. Establish a line of defense, and then try everything possible to defend the creek."

"12 kilometers, on foot, we need about 3 hours, if we need to prepare well... we need about 10 hours." Looking at his watch, George Hart replied.

"We will hold those demons. They are mainly troops composed of low-level demon dogs. The number is very large, probably... about one hundred thousand." Vivian blushed and said, "I'm sorry, you just arrived in the grid. Riken, we must participate in such a high-intensity battle."

"We have no problem. In 10 hours, I will build a line of defense on this river. The Air Force sends out bombers to cover us. After contacting the enemy, I can specifically analyze how long we can last." Pointed to the rough outline of the map. Refers to the commander of the Ailan Hill 1st Airborne Division in charge of commanding these paratroopers, Air Force Commander George Hart said.

Vivian nodded, the face behind the mask was exhausted. She has been in the war for almost ten hours now. The magic reserve in her body has been exhausted. The magic robe on her body is also full of dust. It has long lost its original elegance.

However, she was still polite and maintained the courtesy of a high-level magician, and thanked her: "No matter what the outcome is, I still want to thank you for helping!"

Hart didn't say much, just lightly nodded his head, turned around and shouted to the 6 battalion commanders waiting there: "A group of 3 battalions stay to protect the absolute security of the airport! Build a circular defense line!"

"The remaining troops only carry 1 day's rations and take away all the ammunition that can be taken away! Set out within 10 minutes, head west to this place on the map called the Boer River, and build a line of defense along the river!"

"Take all the weapons you can take away! We don't know how strong the demon army is! So carry bazookas and mortars as much as possible!"

After he issued a series of orders, he looked at Vivienne again: "We need you to cover for a period of time to ensure that our weapons are effective against the demons, and then you can leave."

Vivienne nodded and looked at the scarred wolf behind him: "I will stay here with Mr. Borken of the wolf clan. We need time to recover, but there is nothing wrong with helping you deal with the devil dog. of."

Behind Hart, the paratroopers full of ammunition have begun their journey, and the No. 2 tank is full of heavy ammunition boxes, staggering forward.

These paratroopers sang lofty songs, carried their fully automatic weapons, and walked neatly towards their battlefield.

"This is the first time they fought?" Sitting on the side of the road, the giant wolf Boken asked Vivian, who was a little uneasy: "Do you think they are reliable?"

"Whether it can be reliable, it's not what I said, but it depends on their performance..." Vivian was also not sure about these mortals who participated in such a terrible war for the first time. Do you have the courage to face everything they are about to face?
