Chapter 1350 11349 Maria of Navarone
1943, April 7.
Capo Passero Island in southeast Sicily.
Anna Moffett, the secretary of a British Army sergeant who was shot down by our own anti-aircraft fire, struggled to climb out of the wreckage of a C47 military transport aircraft.
The captain and co-pilot were both killed. The paratroopers in the cabin were able to land as early as possible. Those who could not be airborne were also killed spectacularly. Of the entire transport crew, only the female secretary Anna Moffett survived.
This was also the outcome that she had long expected when she came.
Because before restarting the fixed original plot line, the housekeeper Ai Yi had already preset the "entry method" for everyone on the ETT commuter bus Mountain at the 0326 Star Cube Base in Broken City. So riding a C47 military transport aircraft is equivalent to the "opening scene" of female secretary Anna Moffett. Of course, it’s okay to call it the first “cutscene”. According to players in the city, this is called "plot transition" or "plot transition".
After making sure that she was safe and sound, female secretary Anna Moffett took out a small piece of paper from her pocket and read the prepared cheat sheet several times in her mind in the pinyin of 0326 Base that only she could understand: "Sicily" The Italian garrison on the island only has 4 field divisions and 6 static coastal defense divisions, with poor equipment and low morale. When the North African campaign was defeated, the German troops that were originally going to be sent there were now organized into one division, designated as the 15th Panzer Grenadier Division. division, but this division was equipped with only one armored battalion. The 'Hermann Goering' armored division, which was rebuilt in a similar way, was sent to Sicily by the end of June 1943. Mussolini did not allow the two divisions to be combined into one Army, and was still commanded by a German general. These two divisions were under the direct control of General Guzzoni, commander of the Italian 6th Army, and were divided into five battle groups and deployed as mobile reserves along the 6-mile diameter of the island.
The Allied landing force was very powerful. They carried out landing assaults with 8 divisions at the same time, and their scale was even larger than the Normandy landing 11 months later. On the first day of the landing and the following two days, approximately 15 Allied soldiers landed on the beaches of Sicily, with the final strength reaching 47.8, including 25 British officers and soldiers and 22.8 American soldiers. According to the established plan, the British army landed along a 40-mile-long coast in the southeastern corner of Sicily, and the US military also landed along a 40-mile-long coast in the south. The British left wing and the US right wing were separated by 20 miles..."
"Call 'Irene', call 'Irene'." At this moment, an unfamiliar call came from the WS38 portable radio behind him.
Eirene is the Greek transliteration of Irene. Irene is also a well-known goddess of peace in Greek mythology, especially respected by ancient Athenians. Legend has it that after defeating the Spartans in a naval battle, the Athenians began to build a temple to Irene to celebrate the post-war peace. In the original plot, "Irene" was also the exclusive codename of the Greek female guerrilla Irene.
"This is Eunomia, please reply." Female secretary Anna Moffett immediately responded using the "connection code" written in advance in the script.
Eunomia is the sister of Irene, the goddess of peace, who is also one of the three goddesses of time. As used here, it refers to the "guerrilla sisters" of the Greek female guerrilla Irene.
"Roger, Eunomia. This is 'Maria of Navarone', please tell me your specific location." Maria (Maria) means "Mother of the Sea" in Greek. It is a common name for Greek women. Navarone is the name of a small Greek island in the Mediterranean Sea. So "Maria of Navarone" should not be a code name. It is the real codename of this female guerrilla.
"Okay, 'Maria of Navarone', I'm on the island of Cape Passero." Female secretary Anna Moffett immediately told her the approximate location: "You can see the thick smoke from the crashed transport plane. find me."
"Okay, we're not far from Passero Point Island, and you'll see an S.55 seaplane soon."
萨伏亚-马彻蒂(Savoia-Marchetti)S.55是一款非常特别的双体水上飞机。该机1922年开始研制,1924年8月原型机首飞成功。1926年,S.55投入批量生产,两侧机身中容纳乘客和货物,机组人员坐在机翼中央加厚的部分里。S.55配备两个串联的伊索塔·弗拉西尼(Isotta Fraschini)阿索500(Asso 500)水冷V-12发动机,每台功率500马力。最大飞行时速205千米,最大航程为4500千米。武装型S.55装备4挺7.7mm刘易斯机枪,可搭载1000千克的炸弹。S.55持续生产到上世纪30年代中期,意大利皇家空军和航空公司共接收243架S.55。巴西购买8架,罗马尼亚皇家空军购买7架,苏联也采购了5架。S.55进行了一些改装,比如能够容纳8~10名乘客的封闭客舱,隔热的发动机罩,驾驶舱和客舱都有暖气。
Soon, a strange-looking Savoia-Machetti S.55 catamaran seaplane landed on the sea not far from the crash site.
Before getting off the seaplane, the pilot deliberately adjusted the angle of the front window of the cockpit so that the female secretary Anna Moffett, who was hiding nearby, could better capture the whole picture with a telescope: "Call 'Onomia' , please reply when you receive it.”
"This is 'Eunomia', I see you 'Maria of Navarone.'" Anna Moffitt, the well-prepared female secretary, immediately recognized the female pilot who came to greet her. Famous plot character from "The Guns of Navarone".
In other words, in 1943, the elite troops of Nazi Germany were about to launch a blitzkrieg against Cross on the Turkish coast. There were two thousand trapped British troops in Cross who were eager to evacuate. However, the only channel in Cross was a Greek island in the Aegean Sea called Na. On the island of Wallonia, the Germans installed two new radar-controlled cannons with extremely powerful firepower, posing a serious threat to the safe passage of British ships. Therefore, taking away these two cannons became a task that the British army had to complete. The terrain of Navarone Island is very dangerous. There is a strong fortress on the top of the cliff, the fort is installed in the cave in the belly, and it is surrounded by cliffs that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. So the British army sent a special operations team to the island secretly to blow up the Navarone cannon. The people who responded to them were the female guerrilla captain Maria Pappadimos and her guerrillas on the Greek island of Navarone. Among them was Anna, a female teacher sitting in the co-pilot position of the S.55 catamaran seaplane.
Most of the Greek guerrillas during World War II were affiliated with the Greek Resistance Movement, the "National Resistance". These include armed and unarmed groups that opposed the Axis occupation of Greece from 1941 to 1944 during World War II. The modern Greek state became independent in 1822 and fought an independence war with the Ottoman Turkish Empire for nearly 10 years. 80 years later, it fought two Balkan Wars, plus the subsequent World War I, the Greco-Turkish War, and World War II. At this time, Greece can also be called "rich in military virtue". The combat effectiveness of the guerrillas is no less than that of the regular army. Especially for special operations such as small-scale secret infiltration, the guerrillas can be called rare soldiers.
"Should I tell the female guerrilla leader that the beautiful female teacher companion next to me has actually secretly rebelled long ago." The female secretary Anna Moffett walked out of the hiding place with a complicated mood.
Returning to the fragmented plot of World War II from Broken City, the dimension of understanding the world is completely different.
