Paratroopers are one of the common arms at present, and the country that can make the best use of paratroopers should be the United States, because the United States has strong logistics support, air support, artillery attack and fully mechanized rapid counterattack, which can effectively cooperate with paratroopers to go deep into the enemy's hinterland. Therefore, in many battles, we can see that the United States uses large-scale paratroopers to airborne, which makes many American paratroopers world-famous, but the most famous one is10/airborne.
10 1 the predecessor of the airborne division can be traced back to World War I. This unit has a good style and strict training. It was the number one seed of American paratroopers, but paratroopers were also a sad force during World War II. A paratrooper commander once said that we are paratroopers, so we are used to being surrounded.
Going straight into the hinterland sounds particularly passionate, but in the hinterland of the enemy, it means endless danger. The enemy can call in soldiers for help at any time, and the scattered soldiers can only rely on their brothers who parachuted down. Every attack by paratroopers is unknown. They don't know where they can drift or whether they can come back alive. The only thing they can know is their mission. 10 1 The bloodiest order of the airborne division is to hold barstow.
10 1 airborne divisions parachuted to the German rear quickly formed a defense line on the spot. In the face of the siege of five elite German divisions, the defense line was strengthened in an orderly way and in depth, and it was forcibly held for 8 days, which won valuable time for other American troops.
10 1 airborne divisions quickly formed a defense line, and strengthening the defense line in depth is the biggest reason why they can hold it. Of course, this success can't forget the support of the US Air Force and the quick assault of General Patton's troops.
