Looking down from the air, Qin Chuan found that the center of Crete was covered with mountains, surrounded by a circle of light brown beaches, and as far as the eye could see, the island was surrounded by the sea on all sides.

The airfield at Irak is just a few miles to the west, clearly visible, with an empty flat field underfoot...... It is indeed an ideal landing point, but it is also a graveyard for paratroopers, because if the enemy occupies the high ground on the north side of the farmland, its condescending fire can easily sift all the paratroopers who land and are about to land.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning...... Perhaps because the high ground is not high, it is not marked in the aeronautical map.

But fortunately, because the British did not expect that the German target was Crete, and at the same time there were many such heights on Crete, so it was undefended.

The farmland is getting closer and closer......

Qin Chuan landed smoothly with one landing action, and at that moment Qin Chuan was so excited that he almost shed tears...... It feels so good to be down-to-earth, and the parachute process is like walking through the ghost gate.

But Qin Chuan didn't have time to delay, he took out the military thorn and cut the parachute rope and grabbed the rifle in his hand to load the bullet, and only then did he have a real sense of security.

The first thing they did after parachuting was to assemble at the designated location and collect as many boxes of equipment as they could drop with them...... THE EQUIPMENT BOX CONTAINED NOT ONLY THE AMMUNITION AND FOOD THEY NEEDED, BUT ALSO HEAVY WEAPONS, INCLUDING 24 7.92MM HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, 24 80MM MOTARS, 11 50MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, 200 "IRON FISTS".

Qin Chuan and his subordinates collected five boxes of ammunition, and then ordered: "Follow me and occupy the high ground in the north!" ”

"But a second lieutenant!" Yakop looked puzzled: "Shouldn't we go to the Irak airport in the west?" ”

"Things have changed!" Qin Chuan raised his head towards the high ground a few hundred meters to the north: "That high ground threatens our flank and rear, if it is occupied by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

So Qin Chuan took twenty soldiers and ran towards the high ground one foot deep and one foot shallow in the farmland.

This is a highland covered by bushes, with a height of more than seventy meters, and out of a sense of potential crisis, Qin Chuan kept urging the soldiers to speed up along the way.

Facts also proved that Qin Chuan's worries were necessary.

When Qin Chuan and his party climbed the high ground, they found that there was also a group of soldiers on the other side of the high ground approaching the high ground, and the helmets they wore were different from the British army's saucer helmets, and more like the standard helmets of the German army...... So Qin Chuan soon knew that they were Greek soldiers.

Qin Chuan gestured to the soldiers to retreat.

Werner looked at Qin Chuan suspiciously, he didn't understand why Qin Chuan chose to retreat at this time...... He believed that at this time it was better to occupy the hilltop position and condescendingly block the opponent's advance.

Qin Chuan did not explain anything, he just ordered the German soldiers to disperse and then hide themselves and prepare for battle.

There is a reason why Qin Chuan would do this...... The Greek army was outnumbered and armed with three mortars.

And Qin Chuan and his party did not have a single mortar because they were in a hurry, and at the same time, Qin Chuan and the others did not have time to build fortifications, of course, there were no mines, and all the weapons in their hands were rifles, submachine guns and five boxes of ammunition...... If anything, it's a general-purpose machine gun.

Therefore, if you have a geographical advantage, as Werner thinks, you want to suppress this group of Greek troops of more than 100 people...... The result is likely to be pressed to death by the Greek army with mortars, and then a charge will string Qin Chuan's two dozen on bayonets.

Qin Chuan was going to fight a melee battle with this Greek army.

In general, melee combat is more suitable for the side with the superior force, but it is a different story if it is a surprise attack.

Qin Chuan loaded his rifle with a bayonet, and drew an M24 grenade and raised it at the soldiers, and the German soldiers hiding in the bushes understood, and one by one they also loaded their bayonets and drew their grenades to get ready.

In a short time, amid the sound of footsteps and orders, the Greek army rushed to the top of the hill out of breath.

Things were exactly as Qin Chuan guessed, the attention of this group of Greek troops was immediately attracted by the German troops who were busy assembling and collecting equipment boxes in the farmland, so they didn't expect that just a dozen meters away in front of them, more than 20 German soldiers were holding grenades and bayonets and looking at them.

"Bang bang" A few Greek soldiers raised their guns and fired at the German soldiers below the high ground.

Qin Chuan noticed that the rifle in the hand of the Greek soldier was an Italian "Carcano" rifle...... The Greek army was desperately ill-equipped, and many of the rifles they used had been captured by the British from the Italians in North Africa.

This also gives an indication of the combat effectiveness of the Italian army, which the German soldiers often joked about as being there to equip the enemy.

The German paratroopers also discovered this Greek army at this time, so they immediately organized fire to return fire, and a few bullets even hit Qin Chuan and others near the hideout.

But Qin Chuan still didn't move.

It wasn't until the Greek soldiers moved a few mortars to the hilltop position that Qin Chuan shouted, "Do it!" Then he pulled the fuse of the grenade and waited for a while before throwing it up.

The German soldiers did the same, and more than two dozen smoke-emitting grenades were thrown at them.

How could the Greek soldiers have imagined such a situation, and when they saw a large number of grenades thrown nearby, they couldn't help but scream and turned around and ran......

But it was too late to run, and only a chaotic sound of "boom" was heard, and the hilltop position was immediately blown into a cloud of smoke.

"Kill them!" Qin Chuan shouted and rushed forward.

The German soldiers followed closely behind, and Werner and Keller, who were armed with submachine guns, took the lead, and went up to knock a few Greek soldiers who wanted to get up to resist to the ground, and then pulled and fired a few grenades and threw them on the other side of the high ground.

The German soldiers rushed forward in a swarm, stabbing their bayonets at the Greek soldiers who had been blown to the ground as they rushed forward, and the smoke was full of the sound of blades entering flesh and screams, and the Greek soldiers were beaten to the point that they were powerless.

Then, the German machine guns were set up at the front of the high ground, and then they fired volleys of bullets at the Greek troops who retreated down the hill...... Blood splattered everywhere, and the Greek soldiers fell and rolled down the slope like stakes, and in a moment there were few people left.

The battle was fought cleanly, Qin Chuan easily annihilated more than 100 Greek troops at the cost of one minor injury, seized the high ground, and captured three mortars and a batch of guns and ammunition.

Of course, none of these guns and ammunition are of much value.
