Back in to it after few months break. Couldnt have gotten in at better time, just for the attack on Antwerp.
Here's how I saw it.
I saw the 5 minute warning message from the High Command notifying everyone that the operation was about to begin. I decided to keep myself at St. Niklaas, in my Stug for few more minutes before joining up. After 30 minutes of boredom because of lack of targets, I returned my Stug and headed to the nearest airfield and hitch a ride from one of the FJ units attacking Antwerp.
Around this time, the attack had been going on for 20-25 minutes and half of the city had been captured by the axis forces. Our job was to jump in to the southern armybase that was separated from the city itself. Loaded up with 7 paras, we headed of and got over our target without any problems from the allied airforce. As I stepped out of the plane, I realised that I was spot on, directly below me was the bunker and I was floating down right to it's doorway.
Me and some wehrmact guy who's name escapes me, were the first ones to assault the bunker. He went first and got nailed by the allied bastard guarding the entrance. I grabbed a grenade from my belt and tossed it in from one of the gunports. Judging by the screams from inside, the nade had done it's job. After reloading my MP40, I rushed in and was abit surprised that I wasnt greeted with a hail of bullets. I moved deeper and still no resistance, I searched the whole bunker and found out that they had had only one guy defending it.
After I captured the bunker with ivacsomething providing cover for me, I stayed there to repel the following enemy assaults with few other paras who had survived the jump. Soon after, Antwerp was captured. It took the axis team 1 hour and 2 minutes to take the city that usually can take half a day and more to take.
Was nice.
