I thought that on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 1944, the Allied Command was tortured by the powerful German offensive. However, I did not expect that a word from the Allied Command would allow us frontline soldiers to sleep under the fireworks of artillery shells on the night of the 31st. , packed together with New Year¡¯s Day to spend the three most important festivals in the West, which are very close together. They said this was a special gift for us. <-¡·
However, after the US artillery group finished its attack on the night of the 31st. The German army was in a panic and figured out that the Allied generals were only using artillery shells to celebrate the festival. The angry German army was not to be outdone in order to restore their low morale. Although they did not have the same powerful artillery coverage capabilities as the US military, they were also crazy. The artillery shells were poured into the US military positions for a moment. Although there were not many casualties, the US soldiers who came out to watch the excitement were jumping up and down, and their hearts of celebration and encouragement shrank back into their stomachs. At this time, all the frontline soldiers The soldiers then remembered that the Germans were not without the ability to fight back.
Regardless of whether it is a special gift or not, our Christmas Eve, our Christmas, and our New Year just passed by without singing or laughing, and the two sides exchanged cannonballs. All of this, the history of justice will never be forgotten. It will not be recorded, and future generations will only know the laughter of the Allied troops that night.
The laughter on the front line is very short-lived, which cannot be imagined by the social elites who stay in the rear. They will never forget to laugh and celebrate every day. In the rear, they will not forget even a small victory that has nothing to do with them. To hold a celebratory reception, even if it is an extremely tragic scene in the eyes of the frontline soldiers, they still have to sing and sing about their bravery. All this has nothing to do with them.
The Allied Bar ten kilometers behind the front line.
"Come on, gentlemen and ladies! Let's have a drink to celebrate our counterattack!" A drunken US military colonel suddenly stood up and said, holding his glass high, and touched a handful of people passing by. Waitress's thighs.
The waitress was obviously used to this kind of harassment. She smiled and knocked off the stupid hand that was taking advantage of her with a "snap" with her white and tender hands. She turned around and rolled her eyes at the colonel with a half-smile.
The colonel chuckled softly: "You are so beautiful!"
The waitress ignored this low-level flattery and twisted her plump buttocks. Dazzled out of everyone's sight. The colonel officer looked at the maid's back and said cheerfully: "I want to ask you to dance tonight!"
The colonel¡¯s teasing caused a burst of whistles from everyone in the bar. The waitress turned around, put a finger to her mouth and smiled: "Just dance!"
I sat in a corner of the bar, watching the two men and women having sex as if no one else was around, and whispered to John: "These two slutty guys!"
John smiled and said: "Except for her bigger buttocks, this woman is of average appearance. She is a perfect match for this colonel!"
I said: "Never mind him!"
I still don¡¯t know what Westerners¡¯ worldview is like. But the relationship between men and women seems to be very casual, but there are always exceptions. Who can tell clearly!
The colonel was still delivering a speech about a victorious counterattack with great emotion, as if in his mouth, the Allies would win tomorrow. Killing Mr. Hitler makes people laugh involuntarily.
At this time, the barracks where the bar was located suddenly sounded a piercing air raid siren. The colonel was stunned and shouted heartbreakingly: "Air raid!"
Everyone in the bar swarmed out the door. This was no joke. The aerial bombs were dropped one after another. You would definitely be buried alive inside the house.
"Let's go!"
I grabbed John and ran outside. John cursed as he ran: "Damn Germans, how can you have the strength to launch an air strike?"
January 1, 1945 at 9:15. In order to maintain the Ardennes Offensive, combat the loss of German power and delay in offensive operations caused by weakening the US military's air power, and seize regional air supremacy, the Luftwaffe launched an air raid mission called Operation Floor. This was mainly an attack on the Allied forces in A large-scale operation was launched at the frontline military airport. In German terms, it means destroying US military aircraft on the runway.
After running out of the bar, John and I found that everything was in chaos. Allied anti-aircraft firepower in the distance was desperately intercepting German fighter-bombers. Intense firepower, from time to time, a German aircraft was hit, smoking, making a shrill sound, falling to the ground, and turned into a ball of fire with a bang!
The U.S. military's combat-duty fighter jets were completely at a disadvantage because they did not expect the Germans to launch such a large-scale air raid. Soon the German Air Force broke through the air interception network and launched attacks on the Allied air bases on the ground. An unprecedented blow.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Germans did not notify their own air defense forces along the route because they wanted to keep it secret. Nearly a hundred of them were hit by their own people. It can be said that their deaths were a bit unfair.
&nbx51b7;Khan said: "Could it be that the German devils are crazy!"
The sudden air attack caused heavy losses to the US air force. Nearly 500 aircraft were destroyed and destroyed. Most of them were because the air force pilots were unable to take off due to vacation. They were destroyed by German fighter bombers and were destroyed on the ground. At the same time, several air force airports were also completely destroyed. . This German attack did deprive the US troops on the front line of effective air support for several days. The Germans lost about 300 aircraft, of which 100 were caused by their own air defense forces.
However, the reality is even more serious. The US military forces, which were already on the counterattack, were successfully turned back by the German troops. On the same day of the air strike, the German armies on the western front gathered huge forces to launch a counterattack against the U.S. 7th Army, whose troops were sparsely scattered along the 110-kilometer-long defense line, forcing the U.S. counterattack on the entire Ardennes front to stop.
The powerful German ground offensive put the US Seventh Army under attack into crisis. General Eisenhower was afraid that the Seventh Army would be surrounded by German troops, and ordered all efforts to deliver troops, equipment, and supplies to the Seventh Army. However, the fact is indeed very bad. The U.S. Army Sixth Army, which lacked air support, was surrounded by German troops on three sides.
The Seventh Army had no choice but to retreat with the consent of Ansenhower. By this time, it had suffered heavy casualties, with approximately 30,000 casualties.
However, although the German air raids achieved a brief victory and gave the Germans valuable time to retreat, due to the strong self-recovery ability of the Allies, the U.S. military replenished the number of lost aircraft within ten days and regained air supremacy on the battlefield. . In contrast, the German Air Force has since become extremely weak and is no longer capable of undertaking important combat missions.
After escaping the German air raid, John and I returned to the camp in a jeep. After meeting everyone, they all lamented the German air raid just now. At this time, a soldier came to me and said: "Sir, someone is looking for you!"
"who?"
"It's Second Lieutenant Machos who is responsible for sending troops!"
Second Lieutenant Majos is the officer in charge of logistics. He has been to my place several times. As soon as he met Second Lieutenant Majos, he said very familiarly: "Hi, Captain Kandy! Today I sent you more than a dozen very important things." Great guy!"
At this time, a dozen soldiers jumped out of the truck, carrying guns on their backs and standing in a straight line beside the truck. They looked very tough, but people who came out of the battlefield would see it from their faces. It can be seen at a glance that they are actually a group of immature rookies who have not been tested by gunfire.
¡°Heh, they are all a bunch of rookies!¡± I said with a smile to Second Lieutenant Majors.
Second Lieutenant Majors looked back at the dozen people he brought with him, and said with a look of disapproval: "Look, how great they are, as long as you give them a chance, they will definitely be warriors!"
I smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Lieutenant Majors, you act like a great salesman every time you come here! I will accept these lovely warriors!"
Second Lieutenant Majors¡¯ face turned red with rare redness, and said: ¡°Come on, this is the order! Please sign for it!¡± (To be continued.)x201c;Sir, someone is looking for you! "
