"Quick! The Americans are coming up! Quick, get to your place! Amid the shouts of the officers, Park Chang-beom held a helmet in one hand and a Mauser 98K carbine in the other, and followed a corporal named Harris along the zigzag traffic trench towards the front. Fastest update 78 novels //

Park Chang-beom is a rì himself, at least in his opinion. He was born in the family of an ordinary citizen in Seoul, in the Great Rì Empire. A few years earlier, he had joined the Imperial Army of the Great Rì Ben and participated in the Nomenkan operation to punish Soviet Russia. As a result, it was very unfortunate that Park Chang-bum became a prisoner. The attitude of the Soviets towards prisoners of war was not bad, at least, in the eyes of Park Chang-beom. Although the food is very poor every day, except for potatoes or potatoes, and the cooking level of the Soviets is also absolutely dark, for the way potatoes are handled, in addition to boiling potatoes in salt water, they will only boil potatoes in water. The Soviet soldiers still had black bread to eat, but the captives had to eat potatoes every day.

However, Park Chang-bum did not find this painful, because except for the period after joining the Kwantung Army, Park Chang-bum had almost never eaten before. With the Soviets, at least for that time, the potatoes were still full.

Of course, with the Soviets, there was absolutely no such thing as just eating and not working. The prisoners of war were sent to Siberia to specialize in logging. Siberia is actually not bad, but it is colder, and there are more bears in the wild. For example, in the logging area where Park Chang-beom is located, there are two big brown bears who often run out to make trouble. It made Park Chang-beom always frightened. Later, Park Chang-beom was dragged to Poland by the Soviets to repair new defense projects. Then, the Germans called, and he was captured again.

As allies, the Germans did not embarrass Park Chang-beom too much. They asked him to follow the German army and do some odd jobs, and later, as the soldiers became nervous, they simply pulled Park Changfan, who had served in the army, down from the German ** team. As a result, Park Chang-beom was able to appear among the defenders of Cherbourg.

Park Chang-beom followed Corporal Harris and ran along the folded traffic trench deep and shallow, and the enemy shells continued to explode not far from him. Fortunately, none of these shells entered the traffic trench, so Park Chang-beom was not injured.

At this time, Harris in front of him turned a corner, and Park Chang-beom was about to follow, but he heard a loud noise, and then, a wave of air rushed to his face, directly pushing him down in the traffic trench.

Park Chang-beom's head was buzzing, and after a while, he barely got up from the ground. He shook his head, feeling as if he was a little more awake. So he picked up the gun he had dropped on the ground and continued to walk forward. Turning the corner, he saw the source of the wave of air - there was a large smoking crater in the traffic trench ahead. Apparently, just now, a shell fell into a traffic trench. If it weren't for that corner just now, Park Changfan would have gone to see Aunt Amaterasu just now.

"Quick, run! Don't stand stupid! A voice shouted from behind.

Park Chang-bum turned his head and saw that it was a tall German soldier who was 1.85 meters tall.

"Hello!" Park Chang-bum didn't know why, so he came up with such a sentence. Then he hurriedly grabbed his gun and ran towards the trench in front.

Numerous shells exploded around the trenches. The clods of earth they lifted kept smashing on Park Chang-beom's steel helmet. Park Chang-bum cautiously poked his head out of the trench and looked out. He saw that just over a hundred meters away from him, the figures of a group of American soldiers were flickering in the smoke of gunpowder.

Park Chang-beom stretched out his Mauser 98K carbine. He didn't fire right away, though. He was still waiting for the officer's order, and without an order, it was not allowed to shoot indiscriminately. This rule was already clear to him when he was with the Imperial Army.

However, the order to open fire had not yet been given, since the enemy's artillery fire had not yet extended to the rear. 203 mm caliber shells, when exploding, shrapnel after flying 50 meters still has a great lethality. So when the American spearhead advanced to about 60 meters from the first line of German trenches, the American artillery fire began to extend to the rear.

By this time, the artillery fire had already brought certain losses to the Germans. Just now, several shells fell into the trenches, but fortunately the trenches were all zigzag, constantly turning corners to block most of the power of these shells. Otherwise, the German soldiers would not know how many would die.

"Fire!"

With this command, deadly flames began to erupt from the German trenches. Park Chang-beom fired a shot at an American soldier. But the American soldier was very agile and made a lying motion. The bullet from Park Chang Beom also missed. However, the core of the fire of the German infantry has never been a bolt-action rifle like the Mauser 98K, which requires a bolt to pull once to shoot a bullet, and their fire core has always been a variety of general-purpose machine guns. Previously it was the G-34, now it is the G-42. In Cherbourg, although the number of defenders was small, the weapons were very sufficient. This allowed each infantry squad to have an average of 1.5 G-42 machine guns.

Several G-42s opened fire in unison, a dense web of intertwined fire rolling toward the American soldiers. Immediately, seven or eight American soldiers were knocked to the ground. The rest of the Yankees immediately fell to the ground or hid behind 4 tanks. And by this time, the 4 tanks of the Americans, who were advancing at low speed with the infantry, also began to fire.

They made a sharp stop, stopped, and then quickly opened fire on the machine-gun fire that had just been firing. Such shelling was fatal for the point of machine-gun fire. With their fire support, the American infantry, which had been suppressed, began to advance again. However, the Germans did not have the strength to fight back, at least, Park Chang-beom knew that a deadly PAK-40 anti-tank gun was hidden in a bunker to his right.

When it comes to the anti-tank guns of the Germans, people are always most likely to think of the famous Flak-36 88-mm anti-aircraft gun, or his anti-tank modification of the Pak-43 88-mm anti-tank gun. But in fact, the main force of the German anti-tank guns was the Pak-40 75-mm anti-tank gun, which did not look too impressive. This gun can penetrate 116 armor plates at a distance of 1000 meters. This armor-piercing ability, although inferior to the PAK-43, was enough to destroy the 4 Sherman tanks of the Americans.

Sure enough, just as one of the 4 Sherman tanks of the American army stopped to prepare to fire on the machine guns, the PAK-40 anti-tank gun hidden in the bunker opened fire. The distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters, and at such a distance, the German anti-tank guns were quite jīng and powerful. This gun directly penetrated the frontal armor of the 4 tank. Black smoke immediately rose from this 4. Then two tankmen covered in fire came out of the tank, but were immediately knocked to the ground by the Germans' machine guns.

At this time, behind the tank, an American soldier holding a rifle with a grenade suddenly flashed, he shuffled the grenade in the direction of the anti-tank gun, and then dodged and hid behind the tank.

The grenade landed next to the bunker. But there was no explosion, just a constant glow of blazing white sè and red smoke - it was just a round of ammunition to indicate the target.

……

"Enemy anti-tank guns were found in the 12 area!" Marlon, who was flying over the German positions, heard such a call on the radio. 12 districts are below him. He craned his neck and looked down. Below, there is a place where red smoke is rising.

"That's it!" Malone immediately made a 180-degree roll, then pulled the cāo pole and swooped towards the target.

……

The 1,600-pound bomb dropped by Malone did not hit the bunker directly with complete accuracy. But the explosion of such a huge bomb in the vicinity still silenced the PAK-40 anti-tank gun immediately. The shock from a close-range explosion was enough to knock the gunners unconscious or even die.

At this time, a weakness of the German army became very obvious. That is, the Germans were too few in number. So much so that in the face of the multi-pronged attack of the US army. The Germans could not place enough men in either direction. For example, now in the 12th area, where the Germans did not lack anti-tank guns, but there was a great shortage of qualified gunners. There were only two groups of gunners, and the rest of the gunners were drawn from the infantry on an improvised basis. These people were largely untrained in artillery. They could only aim in the most primitive way - open the running bolt and look ahead through the barrel. This method of aiming is so slow that trying to hit an enemy tank with it is like asking a blind cat to catch a live mouse.

In the attack just now, Malone had already killed an experienced artillery crew. Then, his men eliminated several blindly exposed anti-tank guns that were apparently under the control of novices. So the anti-tank defense of the Germans on this line was almost immediately crushed. And the decline in anti-tank fire also put the machine guns of the Germans in a difficult situation. Almost as soon as they opened fire, they were shelled by tanks. With the support of tanks, the American infantry advanced step by step, getting closer and closer to the city of Cherbourg.

"Put the reserves in the 12th sector!"

"Quick! Put the reserves in the ** direction! ”

Commanders on both sides gave almost identical orders almost simultaneously.

The reserves of the two armies were also immediately mobilized. The German reserves were of course closer to the target area, but first, the American army was more mechanized, and second, the German army was still under constant shelling. At the same time, the attack planes of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing also continued to sweep into the trenches with their cannons and throw napalm at the communication trenches. This greatly slowed down the pace of German reinforcements. So that the reserves of both sides finally arrived almost at the same time, and collided head-on.
