The battle was still raging, and the resistance of the British soldiers had begun to become chaotic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe loss of half of the machine gun made the remaining British troops extremely passive.

"Hell! The Germans came too fast! The runway has not been repaired, and your plane cannot take off at all. The British officer listened to the gunfire that was getting closer and closer, and said helplessly to the American officer.

The officer of the US Army Air Corps did not know what to say at this time -- he had come to bomb the German oil fields, not to fight the German paratroopers.

Flying in the sky, the B-17 pilots fought in a fortress-like location, with heavy machine guns and cannons to deal with enemy fighters, and used their sturdy bodies to meet the thin enemy fighters.

In that state, they are very confident in facing the enemy. But now they are on the ground...... Isn't it a joke to let the Air Force fight a land war?

Of course, this commander of the US Army Air Force must have never heard of such a strange existence of the Herman Goering Division.

"We can't stay here and defend the airport with you, can we?" With a hint of annoyance, the American officer asked rhetorically.

"It's too late for you to leave now, the airport is full of German paratroopers, and your plane can't take off......" The British officer showed an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, which made the American officer even more annoyed.

"Then you can send troops and escort my soldiers out of here, right?" The gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, and the American officer planned to take his pilot and hurry away.

You know, 50 pilots on the B-17 is not a small number. There are more than 500 people, which is not a small force.

"Leave? Now the phone is not working, and from a few hours ago the shadow of German paratroopers appeared all over the main road...... If you feel that leaving is a safe option, then you can take someone with you. "British officers are now not afraid of the difficulties of American officers.

"I don't have troops to send you now, and the people who escorted you away...... Do you hear the gunshots outside the window? He pointed to the window and asked loudly.

Maybe in a few hours, everyone will be living in a German prisoner of war camp, whose thoughts and feelings will I take care of? There was such an idea in the minds of the British officers right now.

Now he has to worry about how to stop the German paratroopers who are approaching his building on the airfield outside the door.

The other side is constantly attacking, and he has a battalion of troops here to defend, but when it is specifically distributed in all directions, there are really not many people.

Choked there by the British officer's words, the American officer opened his mouth, and really didn't dare to shout that he would take people away without being escorted by the British.

He only had a pistol in his hand, and most of the pilots had no experience in ground combat. Although the number seems to be quite large, when encountering the real ground field troops of Germany, the other side estimates that one platoon can reimburse all of their more than 500 people.

Counting on the pistol that the pilot carried with him to take out the German paratroopers who stood in the way, and then find a way to the location of the British forces himself? Whoever arranges the retreat plan in this way should be hanged......

"Reach out to the other allies and let them come to our aid! If the airport is lost, isn't it all over? "The American officer is not dead yet, since he can't leave, it's good to find someone to help.

The British officer smiled wryly and did not answer the Americans' questions. When he was attacked last night, he had already sent a distress signal.

The phone was still available at that time, and his superiors gave him a clear answer - a battalion of soldiers should arrive at the airport by this morning to strengthen the defenses here.

But now, these reinforcements promised by the superiors have not yet arrived, and the German paratroopers have come first. The phone was no longer available, and no one knew what was going on outside.

Judging by the results, the British soldiers who came to support them apparently encountered a German paratrooper halfway through. It's only a few kilometers away, and of course nothing else is possible.

The telephone lines had been cut off by the German paratroopers, the telegram had just been sent, and it was now very obvious that he would have to hold out for at least an hour or more before expecting anyone else.

But only half an hour later, the perimeter of his airfield was breached, the enemy was firing near the runway, and the entire airfield was already in chaos.

Judging from the current situation, the real combat troops under his command will be able to support about half an hour at most, and they will be defeated by the other side.

"Let your men take sappers and blow up all the bombers in the airfield!" Suddenly remembering this important matter, the British officer hurriedly gave the order to blow up the plane.

These bombers are new bombers that have just been put into service in the United States, and they are the most advanced 4-engine long-range bombers in the world.

If the Germans had captured the bombers, the speed at which they had designed their own bombers would have been greatly reduced - and the few remaining safe places in northern Britain would have become equally unsafe.

Be sure to blow up these planes before they are lost at the airport! This is what the British officers thought, but this is not what the American officers thought.

"My people? They are pilots, not sappers! There are bullets everywhere outside, and I can't order my men to carry out plans other than bombing! The American officer coldly rejected the British officer's suggestion.

He turned back and said to his men: "Destroy the pilot's identification and all the insignia of the U.S. Army Air Corps at once!" Fast! ”

"Yes!" Hearing the order of their superiors, the rest of the officers of the American pilots hurried away, carrying quite a few documents.

The American pilots were ordered to fly B-17 bombers painted with the British Air Force logo as volunteer pilots to bomb Germany's Libyan oil bases.

Although the American B-17 bombers parked on the ground have been changed to British livery, there are many, many more identification documents about these American pilots on Crete, which did not need to be of much concern in the first place.

For example, there are various certificates that prove the identity of these American pilots, and there are passes on the island of Crete.

These things are not allowed to be carried when they take off for a mission, but they are essential on the ground. The main reason is that these American pilots are not really volunteer pilots, but directly dispatched US Army Air Force!

After carrying out the bombing mission, they still have to return to the United States. These bombers are also leaving, so these pilots have not completely changed their status, and according to the original plan, there is no need to change at all.

But now, it is clear that their identity is definitely going to be a serious issue with international implications. It is precisely because of this that the American commander ordered to quickly destroy this intuitive evidence.

At this moment, in order to confirm that they "came here to help voluntarily", American pilots can no longer use the identity of the United States.

For a while, the pilot's station in the airport also became chaotic. The British army is burning documents in preparation for battle, and the Americans are burning all sorts of identity documents and anything reminiscent of the United States.

Including their flight jackets, but also their armbands and armbands...... For a while, black smoke billowed out, making the attacking Germans a little confused.

"What are they doing? If you don't fight out, fight back against us...... Hiding from burning something in your room? "A German paratrooper leaned against the bunker next to the airfield and squinted at the houses not far from the opposite side.

"What do you do with so much, press forward! Get out of the room with the people who are guarding it! Another German fired a shot into the distance, replying with the gap between the bolts.

The British positions had been compressed into a crescent shape, and some German troops had moved closer to those massive American B-17 bombers. The two sides kept firing from the planes, and some British soldiers heroically tried to regain control of the planes, constantly fighting back against the German paratroopers.

Obviously, by this time of the battle, the British defenders had confirmed that their defensive positions were being attacked by the Germans, and they knew very well that they seemed to be unable to hold their positions with their own forces.

The British sappers, who had received the order, under the cover of other soldiers, were trying to get close to the American bombers near the tarmac, hoping to blow up these important planes before the Germans occupied the area.

Explosives were dropped into the fuselage of a B-17, and the British sappers turned around and ran in the hail of bullets. They had to leave before the explosives exploded, or they would be affected by the violent explosion.

From time to time, soldiers were knocked to the ground by the Germans, British soldiers bravely leaned on bunkers to return fire, and some people leaned on the buildings in the airport, constantly delaying the pace of the German attack.

"Boom!" A huge explosion erupted in the fuselage of an American B-17 bomber sprayed with the British Air Force bullseye logo, breaking apart and paralyzing on the edge of the runway at the airport.

The slender wings of the B-17 fell from a height of two people, and the gun turret under the fuselage was crushed by the broken fuselage, and the glass was crushed and cracked, splashing everywhere.

"Damn! The British want to blow up those planes! Hurry up! We can't let them get away with it! "Seeing the B-17 bomber that exploded on the airfield, the German paratrooper officer shouted with a frown.

At the time of his shouting, the British sappers, already under the cover of machine guns, rushed towards the second B-17.

Faced with the enemy's plan to destroy the entire airfield, the German paratrooper attack became even more ferocious, and Lehmann had already rushed to the other end of the airfield from the other side, where he had already killed at least 10 British soldiers who were trying to break out of the building.
