    As an excellent soldier, you must first learn to obey orders. No matter what reasons you have or how many reasons you have, you must have no choice but to carry them out.  <-> Colonel Hayter is an excellent officer. He knows better that under the head of state, if you disobey orders, it is treason and you will be hanged.  Colonel Haight could only carry out this mission where he knew exactly what he would encounter.

    Colonel Hayter¡¯s assistant, Major Gadlo, a staff officer, secretly asked Colonel Hayter: ¡°My dear comrade Colonel, how sure are you of the mission assigned to us by the head of state?¡±

    Colonel Hatter shook his head and said: "Only 20% sure!"

    Major Gadlo looked at Colonel Hait with some surprise and said: "Doesn't that mean there is no certainty at all?"

    Colonel Hayter replied: "Yes! Even if I refuse to carry out this order! The head of state will also ask other people to take over. However, if I serve as this commander, I can do my best to keep my brothers alive longer!"  Great dominate

    Major Gadlo was silent. All he could do was try his best to help Colonel Haight do everything, and then wait for the departure order to arrive until the final fate was over. This was all he could do.

    On this day, Colonel Hayter stood by the window of his office and looked at the young soldiers outside through the glass. Under the arrangement of the officer, he jumped from a brick platform more than one meter high in a parachuting posture. From time to time, someone jumped.  It turned into a gourd rolling on the ground, causing these recruits to laugh.

    Seeing this scene, Colonel Haight's brows almost knitted into a knot. This was just a jump from a small platform during the day, and the parachuting movements of these recruits were so irregular.  If they were allowed to parachute from a high altitude at night while performing their mission, wouldn't it mean that these children would die?

    Of course, Colonel Hayter was considering more than just this reason. There were many reasons why he believed that the time for this airborne operation was not mature. In addition to the large number of recruits who had no experience in airborne combat, the harsh winter climate in the Ardennes region made it difficult to carry out airborne operations at night.  The difficulty of airborne landing has increased; in addition, the transport aircraft pilots have little experience, making it even more difficult to accurately deliver airborne troops.

    As for why Colonel Haight did not consider daytime, it is because the sky is almost controlled by Allied fighter jets during the day.  The German fighter planes were simply unable to compete.  Not to mention, to escort this huge transport group, Colonel Haight could only choose night.

    Colonel Hayter suddenly remembered that in the early days of the war, when German fighter jets dominated the skies over Europe, how could he, as an airborne soldier, worry about this matter? Now.  The situation is turned upside down!  While he was lost in thought, a sudden footsteps disrupted his thoughts.  Looking back, I saw Major Gadro rushing into the office very excitedly. Colonel Hayter greeted with a smile: "Oh, dear Major Gadro, what are you so happy about, so anxious?"

    Major Gadluo said anxiously: "Comrade Colonel, I have a way to solve the problem of parachuting at night!"

    Colonel Hayter strode over, grabbed Major Gadreau's shoulders and said eagerly: "What can you do? Say it quickly!"

    Major Gadluo quickly walked to the military map in the office, pointed at several place names with his hand and said: "Look, Colonel! These areas are still under the control of our army. At least during this period, we don't have to worry about anything."  !¡±

    Colonel Hayter nodded and motioned for Major Gadlo to continue.  Major Gadlo continued: "Because the pilot of the transport plane deviates even slightly from the route when flying at night, it will send us to hell! So I think that on our flight route, the ground troops will help us.  A question of indicating the course!¡±

    Colonel Haight is certainly not a fool.  On the contrary, once you listen to it, your mind will instantly open up.  Added: "More than that, the first thing we have to do is bomb the target with bombers. Of course, the bombs should be replaced with incendiary bombs, which can also provide us with targets!"

    "Yes, that's it!"

    "Our searchlight units along the route are all turned on to provide us with a heading. In areas without searchlights, let the anti-aircraft artillery units fire tracer bombs to prevent the transport planes from deviating! When our fleet reaches the target, the transport planes use flares to ensure that our paratroopers  The troops landed safely." After Colonel Hayter finished speaking, he still sighed and said, "In this case, our parachute troops will lose their purpose of being a surprise force!"

    Major Gadluo said helplessly: "This is also the best way, otherwise! We won't be able to take off at all!"

    Colonel Haite nodded and said: "This is the only way to do it. You are here and plan the details. I will go to the head of state to report this matter!"

    Major Gadluo said: "Go ahead, I really hope the head of state can change his mind!"

    Colonel Heit¡¯s interview with Hitlerdrop.  However, what Colonel Haight did not expect was that after the first batch of transport planes passed by, the searchlights along the route were turned off and the anti-aircraft guns stopped firing tracer bombs.

    "Sir, the ground is pitch black and we can't see anything! We've lost our guidance! What should we do?"

    The radio station of the transport plane always heard the captains' urgent calls to Colonel Haight. Colonel Haight's face was ashen in the dark cabin. He ordered in a cold tone: "Keep the course, and we must arrive no matter what."  Above the target!"

    "Ah~, we have been hit, we have been hit! We are falling, I can't pull up! Jump quickly, jump quickly!"

    "Sir, we have encountered an enemy anti-aircraft artillery area. They are firing at us. They are firing at us! Ah, I am smoking, I am smoking, my God, I am hit, we are finished!"

    Boom, a violent explosion came from the radio station, making everyone who heard it feel as if someone had stepped on their hearts.

    Everyone understood that when the searchlights and anti-aircraft guns along the route stopped piloting, the mission had failed, irreparably.  This is exactly what happened. When the German searchlights along the route were turned off, the anti-aircraft guns also stopped firing tracer bombs, causing subsequent batches of transport planes to lose ground guidance and deviate from their routes.  Some of the transport planes flew over the Allied anti-aircraft artillery zone and were intercepted by intensive anti-aircraft fire, and 10 of them were immediately shot down.  The formation of the remaining transport planes immediately dispersed, and the wind speed over the Ardennes exceeded 6 meters per second. After landing, about 200 German paratroopers found themselves in Bonn, 50 kilometers away from the target.  In the end, only 450 people with Colonel Haight reached the target.

    Colonel Hayter glanced at the soldiers standing behind him with dull eyes, including Major Gadreau, the staff officer with an ugly expression. Colonel Hayter understood that the others were either going to be prisoners of the Americans or were already dead. They were finished!  The low mood of the soldiers in front of them is definitely not conducive to the subsequent battle. Colonel Haight suddenly said in a deep voice: "My children, maybe you already know that we are deep behind enemy lines, with insufficient numbers and lack of ammunition.  Alone! But I want to ask you, do you want to give up? I, von der Heydt, will never give up! I will fight with the enemy to the end! I will be worthy of my honor, my  The motherland, and our head of state!¡±

    Naturally, Major Gadlo knew what Colonel Hayter was doing. He roared in the crowd at the right time: "No! I want to fight! I want to fight! I want to protect our wives and mothers from being violated. I want to protect me."  Beautiful home!¡±

    "I want to fight, I want to fight, I want to fight!" These are more than 400 deep and powerful voices that gradually gathered together!

    Colonel Haight shouted: "Okay, even though we only have four hundred people, we must fight the enemy to the end!"
