(I¡¯ve finally been busy for a while and found time to write! In order to make up for the gap, I¡¯ll squeeze out two chapters a day! Until the book is finished! It can also be regarded as an explanation to the friends who are still supporting me!)
Yes, the Germans did not show their true strength. Mr. Brigadier General¡¯s attack was once again repelled by the Germans defending in the woods. <->The angry brigadier general angrily gave the troops participating in the attack a fatal order to capture the enemy's position at all costs.
Sure enough, after the order was issued, the frontline officers supervising the battle began to turn a blind eye to the casualties of the soldiers and ordered the soldiers to continue to advance forward regardless of casualties. The battle with the Germans quickly entered a fever pitch. This kept coming over the Brigadier's command radio.
"We broke into the German position! We broke into the German position!"
However, before Mr. Brigadier could be happy for long, another message came, "We were driven out of the tunnel! We can't stop it!"
The positions continued to change hands and were tragic, and the brigadier general wanted to go to the front line to supervise the battle in person with his gun several times, but he was stopped by the officers around him.
At this time, through the telescope, I found a Sherman that was advancing cautiously in the woods. It was accidentally hit by a German rocket launcher. Suddenly a raging fire started, and the burning attracted a second burst of vehicle-mounted artillery shells. Explosion, the powerful explosion force flipped the entire turret to one side, and the crew inside seemed to have no bones left.
Bernard Lin grinned and said, "Oh, God! It's so miserable!"
Yes, when a soldier dies in battle, tank soldiers account for one of the most undesirable ways to die, because many crew members of a tank hit by a shell will be roasted alive into a human-shaped ball of charcoal or have no time to escape. There are no bones left; the second is the aviation force. As a soldier on land, I don¡¯t know how many times I have seen Allied fighter jets or German aircraft being hit by the opponent¡¯s artillery and turning into a huge fireball, crashing like a comet. to the ground, and then blazing fire leaped into the sky. I wonder what the death rate is like in the Navy? But it reminded me of the countless sharks hidden beneath the blood-stained waters of the Normandy waters. It was a cruel scene of frantically biting the dead floating on the sea and the wounded who had fallen into the water.
I said: "This is the third tank that has been destroyed!"
John looked at the brigadier general who was commanding not far away. He said to me: "These German paratroopers are really tenacious! Mr. Brigadier General cannot tear down the opponent's defense line with such powerful firepower!"
German paratroopers, through the mouths of the German wounded left by Colonel Haight, now everyone knows that we are fighting a German paratrooper force. In fact, all the Allied armies were curious as to why the Germans would think of organizing large-scale airborne operations when the war was about to end. In fact, the Allied Supreme Operations Headquarters had already noticed it since 1943. The German Army has basically stopped using paratroopers in the war. According to inaccurate information, it was because Mr. Hitler believed that the casualty rate of paratroopers in airborne operations was too high. No one knows whether this is the real reason. .
Suddenly, the attacking Allied troops suddenly withdrew again. It seems that Mr. Brigadier General readjusted the attack route and attack posture. I looked at those people who were depressed. The American soldiers who came down from death silently followed the officers to their rest and preparation areas, feeling indescribably happy in their hearts!
On this earth, in all the Western world, there is only one country that Americans respect from the bottom of their hearts from beginning to end, and that is Germany! Although the Germans ultimately failed, they are still relevant in today's international affairs. The American Voice on Germany. There is always an inexplicable respect and understanding. Even the Soviet Union, which was once a world superpower no different from the United States, is now Russia. Neither can gain the respect of Americans.
As for Britain and France, Americans regard them as their younger brothers, and it is even more difficult for them to achieve the same status as Germany in the hearts of Americans. This status is the underlying psychology of the United States that involuntarily puts Germany on the same level as itself. Therefore, for the same international affairs, the United States requires Britain and France to pay much more than it requires Germany.
In fact, all of this can also be said to be the credit of Hitler. Hitler forcibly knocked down the "world super soldiers" that the United States considers to be on the battlefield. This is rarely mentioned in the world-famous war blockbusters shot by the United States. It is not unrelated that the German soldiers were degraded to the point where they were like a Japanese drama filmed in China. As the saying goes, the strong will always be the strong. Even if he fails, he is still at the level of the strong.
Colonel Haight saw that in addition to the still burning tank still making crackling sounds on the battlefield, Colonel Hayter saw that all kinds of gunshots and artillery sounds gradually stopped after the officers shouted to stop.
Colonel Hayter glanced a little weakly, and saw the Americans retreating.Use pincer tactics to surround the 422nd and 423rd regiments, two regiments of the 106th Division, and force them to surrender.
The official U.S. Army history states: "At least seven thousand men were lost here, and the actual number may have been closer to eight or nine thousand. The total number of weapons and equipment lost, of course, was also very heavy, so the Battle of Sini Avo represents It was the United States' most costly defeat in the European theater of 1944-45."
The victory of the German Fifth Army was immediately passed on by Hitler to the entire Western Front combat troops as an encouragement. This was one of the reasons why Colonel Heit and his troops were able to persevere. Because Colonel Haight and his troops felt that victory was so close to them.
"Brothers, let's hold on for one more day! Our most elite German Sixth Armored Army is here! Now they are behind us, moving towards us non-stop! Now, they fell on the road to get closer to us. In order not to Let us fight alone and work hard to move forward! What should we do?" Colonel Hayter loudly asked his subordinates during the interval of the battle in order to boost morale.
"Hold on! Hold on!" the soldiers shouted in unison with ferocious faces.
"Yes! Persevere! Let our iron will overcome all difficulties and use our strongest position to bury the Americans on the opposite side! Long live Hitler! Long live Germany!"
"Long live Hitler! Long live Germany!" The morale of the German army suddenly rose to an unprecedented high! (To be continued.)
