On the night of November 9, 1943, the subsequent commander-in-chief Theodore von Shiple also personally took the command car to command the front line, rather than staying in the rear for sand table deductions or in paper-style command operations.

He set up regiment headquarters in the beachhead positions after landing, and placed the three battalions of Marines in the island area two kilometers and one kilometer deep in the English Channel.

At the same time, tanks and marines were also allowed to coordinate operations in the shore and Tank, and advance carefully to the inland islands.

Moreover, the artillery behind them is deployed as soon as possible and ready to support artillery operations at any time.

However, at the forefront of the vanguard, the vanguard team, was equipped with a number of mortar units; light and heavy machine gun units, as well as Iron Fist Anti-tank gun units.

It can be said that in this first battle, the Brandenburg Special Forces Division was smooth sailing and did not have many dangerous battles.

At least the battle situation at the beachhead position at the beginning was just going on scattered and there was no fierce and large-scale counterattack.

For the commander-in-chief Theodore von Shiple, who had already prepared for the fierce battle, the commander LeBron James, and the commander Ernst, they were greatly relieved.

However, even so, their marching vigilance and caution have not been relaxed much, but their marching speed has been greatly improved.

"Da da da da!"

"The German guys are here! They have successfully landed. Everyone should pick up their weapons and fight! They will definitely not be allowed to occupy our English Channel!"

As Brandenburg's Special Division accelerated its pace, on the third inland defense position on the island, a British captain shot the Germans he could see while holding his heavy machine gun; while curling up in the corner of his hidden position, he shouted at his troops and commanded the battle at the top of his lungs.

"If the British army resists, fight back!"

When several German troops who were not prepared were shot and killed by the British army, the German colonel who followed them immediately issued a counterattack order.

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da..."

"Bang bang!Bang bang bang!Bang bang..."

"Bang!Bang!Bang..."

For a moment, the noise of guns and cannons and shouts of killing were heard in the third defensive position of the British army, which was shocking.

At this time, one day after another, the UH-1 Huey multi-purpose helicopter, the Fa-223 Dragon Transport Helicopter, and the more than 2,000 airborne vanguards of the First Airborne Division loaded in the AH-1 Cobra helicopter were also conducting airborne combat in the airborne zone they chose one after another.

Because they were airborne operations in the dark, their battles with the British inland Straits were also fierce, because in the situation where the vision was not clear, especially when the British had temporarily changed part of their defense locations; the sudden appearance of British troops faced by the German First Airborne Division was even more tragic than the Brandenburg Special Division, which was in fierce battles.

Fortunately, these airborne divisions had a large number of helicopters for combat support, and the weapons and equipment they were equipped with were also relatively advanced, so many British troops were quickly killed.

For this reason, after experiencing a fierce battle for more than ten minutes, the First Airborne Division gradually saved the disadvantage of being sneak attacked by the British army and gradually controlled the rhythm of the battle.

So the vanguard of the German First Airborne Division, a unit with more than 2,000 people in the strengthening airborne regiment, and a total of 3 airborne battalions and more airborne troops, only 17 companies remain, including one heavy equipment company to complete the combat order for Luo's airborne.

However, the troops of two companies were also lost because they died in the battlefield while fighting against the British troops that had suddenly launched sneak attacks.

Of course, the British army suffered more losses than the German army, because under the cooperation of the helicopter units of the First Airborne Division, the British army lost more than two battalions of troops in order to eliminate these two German companies.

After the vanguard of the 1st Airborne Division was successfully airborne, they equipped each airborne company with 30 machine guns and 8 80mm mortars; the Heavy Equipment Company was also equipped with 20 heavy machine guns, 8 80mm mortars and 3 infantry guns, and each company also had a number of "Iron Fist" anti-tank rocket launchers.

"Everyone quickly find out where the British command is, and then take him off!"

After the weapons and equipment were allocated, Colonel Carl, the commander of the vanguard airborne troops, immediately issued a loud battle order.

"So should we leave some troops to pick up our other airborne troops and fight?"

But his adjutant Haider made an opinion.

"No! Our Brandenburg Special Division has landed and successfully fought, and Commander Richard Heidrich will assign subsequent airborne combat missions!"

"We now need to speed up the British command center stationed here. As long as we arrest or annihilate all the British officers and soldiers inside, then the victory of the English Channel will be our First Airborne Division to lead the way!"

Colonel Carl waved his hand and said dissatisfied.
Chapter completed!
