Chapter 750: If you don't want to die, give up your weapons and surrender immediately
"Boom! Rumble ......"
But soon, before the British and American soldiers, who had killed and were unwilling to parachute, could hold on for long, the plane they were on exploded with a bang.
And it was hit and destroyed by a number of German 88-mm anti-aircraft shells.
"Don't look any further, if you don't want to die, jump right away, quick! German anti-aircraft fire is coming again! ”
On another C-47 transport plane that was not blown up, Deputy Parachute Commander Bill was urging his subordinates to parachute.
And those paratroopers who were swaying very badly because the plane was dodging the anti-aircraft artillery group were also dizzy and had bone pain all over their bodies, but even so, these British and American paratroopers still stumbled and walked to the door of the plane and parachuted when the plane finally managed to maintain a level of flight.
It didn't take long for one airborne regiment, and then one airborne regiment to survive, and the surviving paratroopers also made parachute jumps one after another.
After the moment of parachuting, many paratroopers were either frightened or praying to God, because the anti-aircraft shells, anti-aircraft machine gun shells, and tracer rounds were all crisscrossing around them.
However, many of them were very happy that they parachuted early, because just after they parachuted, the transport plane they were on was hit by several German 88mm anti-aircraft shells, or bombed into a blazing fireball.
However, it is not very safe after parachuting, for example, some paratroopers parachuted because the plane flew too fast, or the altitude was not high, so many of them had unexpected casualties, including being killed by the Germans in mid-air, and falling to the ground to death.
"God forbid!"
And when paratrooper Gerald parachuted out of the plane, he vaguely saw a German anti-aircraft gun truck below him, and eight 20-mm guns were making a hurried attack on him and his companions.
So he prayed, with a shocked face.
"I don't want to die like this! God bless me! ”
Faced with such a thrilling scene, Gerald exclaimed in horror.
At the same time, he was also swaying his body and parachute as he tried his best to avoid the German anti-aircraft guns and 20mm artillery groups.
In the end, I don't know if it was his luck or God's manifestation that blessed him; Let him land safely and successfully on the ground.
As for his companions, they all died in the German attack, and they died very badly.
Gerald was also stunned to see the death of his companion.
But when he floated into the branches of an unknown fruit tree with a parachute, and then fell to the ground with a thud, he no longer feared the death of his companions, but began to fear his fate.
Because he soon found out where he was, he was gradually surrounded by the German troops who rushed over, and he found that he had weapons and equipment on his body, and he did not know where they had fallen.
Faced with such a terrible situation, Gerald was also stunned with fear for a while, and he was at a loss
"If you don't want to die, give up your weapons and surrender immediately!"
When Gerald was surrounded by a group of heavily armed German troops, a tall German officer stood up with a blank face and said coldly to Gerald.
Hearing this, Gerald immediately raised his hands and surrendered, because he could understand German.
"Take him away!"
The German officer's stern voice came over in an instant.
"Yes! Sir! ”
Then the German officers and soldiers beside him also immediately responded loudly.
Gerard was then taken away by all the German officers and soldiers, and only after disarming his dagger and grenade.
And there were many paratroopers like Gerald who were captured by the Germans.
However, there are also many who have experienced stubborn resistance before being captured or killed by the Germans.
As more and more British and American paratroopers landed successfully, the entire periphery of Leningrad was constantly filled with the sound of screeching guns.
