Compared to the fact that the heavy bombers of the Eighth Air Force were accidentally killed in the first round of bombing on the first day of Operation Cobra, Leslie in this time and space?? James?? Lieutenant General McNall was not bombed by mistake, at least not yet. Visit and download txt novel // Just now a group of bombers flew in the wrong direction and almost dropped bombs on his location. Fortunately, after the bomber formation issued a bomb dropping notice, the liaison officer on the ground responded quickly, and only then did a particularly bad accident be avoided.

Under the guidance of the ground personnel, the bombers finally dropped the bombs in the correct position. Due to the presence of the contact group, all the bombers dropped their bombs in suitable places on the first day of bombing, and there was not a single incident. But both Ron and Lee May knew that it was only the first day. At this time, the battle lines of the American and German armies were relatively neat, and the positions of both sides were relatively clear. In such a situation, the chance of accidental bombing is naturally smaller. Although the subsequent bombing was smaller in scale, it is estimated that by that time, the American and German forces are likely to form a dog-tooth situation, and the distance between the two sides will be very close. At this point, the possibility of accidental bombing will become even greater.

In the original history, the first day of the American offensive did not go well, and the first day the American army was supposed to advance 3 miles, but, perhaps because of the fear of the German armored forces counterattack, the American troops did not put a lot of armored troops into the attack, but left them as reserves to be used against the German tanks. As a result, when encountering some relatively strong support points of the German army that were not destroyed in the bombing, the American infantry did not have much to do with these support points for a while. In fact, the German defense line was incomplete, and there was a huge space between the remaining support points. But in order to ensure the integrity of their own front, the US military did not make good use of these shortcomings on the first day.

If it was the US Marines who were in charge of the attack, then on the first day of Operation Cobra, they would definitely have been able to break through. In World War II, the Marine Corps was always tougher than the Army. For example, during the attack, if there is an enemy pillbox in front of it, the army usually stops and waits for the M4 tank or other artillery to come up and solve the problem. And the Marines, on the other hand, dared to solve the problem with flamethrowers or even blasters as long as they had a Browning automatic rifle and a couple of M-1903 rifles for cover.

Therefore, in the face of the same position, let the marines go up, maybe they can take it in a day; But if you change to the army, it may take a week. However, this is not to say that the Army is inferior to the Marine Corps, because, most of the time, the Marine Corps dies more people in order to lay down one such position than the Army loses people in four or five such positions.

It is common practice in almost any country to look down on each other in various militaries, and the United States also exists. Although it didn't get to the point where the locust army and the locust navy regarded each other as the first enemy of the enemy team. However, the confrontation between the branches of the military has always existed. The Army and Navy, as well as the Marine Corps, have always looked at each other unpleasantly. So the guys in the Marine Corps will take every opportunity and the Army is a soft egg. What about the Army? They will also be unceremoniously called the Marines all stupid hats.

However, things have changed in the attack on this plane. The presence of the 21st Strike Wing has greatly increased the ability of the U.S. military to attack these isolated and fortified support points. In the original history, the American P-47 fighter jets would also come to support with bombs and rockets. But as a non-professional attack aircraft, the Jīng degree of the P-47s dropped by the army aviation is too low, and it is okay to hit those exposed living targets, and it is really unreliable to hit targets such as pillboxes. The jīng degree of the rocket is much better, but it is a pity that the power of the rocket is too pitiful, and it cannot hit this kind of target at all, and there is a lack of direct communication between the air and the ground to directly indicate the target, so the efficiency of the US Army Aviation against this kind of target in history is very bad.

But now, the P/A-47 attack aircraft of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing can basically be used as a dive bomber after improving the dive flaps, and it is quite useful to use it against targets such as pillboxes. Coupled with the fact that there is a liaison officer to indicate the target, such a residual support point can no longer stop the advance of the American army.

The lesson was learned that the last time the British were too slow in Operation Goodwood, giving the Germans, who had already been stunned by bombers, time to recover. Therefore, as soon as the three rounds of bombardment were over, the American troops began to advance towards the German positions.

On this day, as in history, the Seventh Army did not invest much in armored forces on this day. The number of M4 tanks on the side of the infantrymen was rather limited. Cabell's platoon was lucky, they were assigned an M4 tank, although this tank was a little older and still equipped with a 75mm short-barreled gun, but it was always a good thing to have a tank.

The tank drove ahead at a high speed, and the soldiers followed it and scattered in a skirmisher formation. There was originally a minefield ahead, but in the morning, several fuel-air bombs had fallen here. The bomb can create a huge overpressure when it explodes, which is enough to detonate any anti-infantry and anti-tank mines. So, now Cabell can safely lead his platoon through this minefield.

As soon as Cabell crossed this minefield, an ominous "snort" suddenly sounded in his ears. Cabell knew that there was only one thing that sounded like a chainsaw or a chunk of cloth being torn apart, and that was the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun, which was billed as a ripper or Hitler's chainsaw. This machine gun has a high speed of 1,500 rounds per minute, which is extremely powerful. Being hit by this kind of machine gun is basically a dead end. Because this machine gun has a very high speed, once it is hit, most of the shots will hit not one bullet but four or five bullets. When the speed of the machine gun exceeds 1000 rounds per minute, it is impossible to distinguish the individual gunshots, and the sound of the MG42 shè is not like the "click" of a Czech or Browning machine gun, but similar to the "snort" of a high-speed chainsaw.

Cabell flashed behind the M4 tank at once, but there was no way to hide a whole platoon of soldiers behind the tank. Some soldiers quickly fell to the ground, while others jumped into the crater left by the bombing. However, there were still two unlucky guys, who moved a little slower, one convulsed and fell to the ground, and then there was no movement, and the other was already doing a pounce action, but he was still hit and was falling to the ground shouting "Help me!" "Well.

The M4 tank moved forward, in front of the unlucky guy who was still screaming.

"Medic, damn it, it's almost over!" Cabell pulled the shivering medic from the crater and shoved him in the direction of the hapless man who had fallen to the ground, kicking him in the ass.

The medic was called Jim, and he was a coward with a college diploma. I know a lot, and my skills are good, but I'm very afraid of death. This is not the first time he has been on the battlefield, but this guy still hasn't practiced the guts. But Cabell knew that this guy had another advantage, and that was that once he started working, he could immediately forget that he was there, even if shrapnel was flying around. It's just that after every time he does this, when it comes time to go to bed at night, he always has nightmares and screams.

Jim crawled over and stepped forward, only to see that the unlucky guy who had been knocked down was Parker, a rookie egg.

"Where's the fight?" Jim asked.

"On the stomach, below me...... I couldn't move at all, I didn't feel it at all. I'm going to die...... I miss mom ......" Parker cried as he removed the cover he had placed on his stomach. Jim saw blood gushing out of his abdomen. Obviously, that's where the bullet came in.

"I'll bandage you, it doesn't matter, there's nothing to hit in the abdomen, you can't kill anyone." Jim quickly began to bandage his wounds. Jim was relieved about his injuries, but Jim knew that losing sensation in the lower half of his body was definitely not a good thing, and the bullet probably injured his lumbar spine. If this is the case, he will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

"Stretcher! I need a stretcher! Jim bandaged Parker's wound and yelled at the back. Two soldiers crawled over with a stretcher in tow. The MG-42 machine gun just now disappeared after a few rounds, and no one knows when this cunning guy will suddenly come out again.

Two soldiers dragged the stretcher to Jim's side, and the three of them worked together to put Parker on the stretcher. "Don't touch him, keep him in a state and don't move? Especially don't touch his waist! Jim gave an account to the two soldiers as he secured Parker with the straps.

Two soldiers dragged Parker's stretcher backwards. Then Cabell's platoon began to move forward again, this time, everyone staring around with wide eyes, no one wanting to be the third target to be harvested by MG-42.

Suddenly, the sound of a rag-ripping gunshot rang out again. This time, everyone's reaction was even more agile, and the soldiers who were already low and bent almost instantly fell to the ground, rolled into the crater, or hid behind the M4 tank.

This time the Germans reacted differently than the last time. Last time they just fired a long shè and didn't know where to run, and this time, this MG-42 machine gun actually didn't stop firing.

This allowed the Americans to quickly find out where he was. Just in the direction of two o'clock in front, there was a reinforced concrete pillbox that had not been destroyed.

The M4 tank fired a shot at the pillbox, but apparently, it didn't work very well, and the machine gun only stopped for a few seconds. It seems that a 75-mm grenade will not be able to hit this pillbox at all.

The M4 tank turned slightly and headed towards the pillbox. The tank commander may have thought of hitting the shell directly through the shè hole in the bunker by approaching the shè shot.

The MG-42's 7.92mm bullet hit the tank's armor with a clanging sound and a flurry of sparks. However, the M4 tank's 63 mm thick sloping front armor is not something that can impress. The tank drove to a stop about a hundred meters from the pillbox, and the 75-mm gun began to point at the target. At this time, the gunfire in the bunker had stopped, and the machine guns were probably ready to flee for their lives.

But at this moment, from a half-collapsed trench next to him, a German soldier suddenly stood up, and then an "iron fist" flew towards the M4 tank, which was only 30 meters away from him......
