Rumler.

From the beginning of the battle, it was brutal and outrageous, the Germans had no way to retreat under the threat of orders, and the paratroopers, at the request of the officers, resolutely refused to give up this dilapidated town - when the fierce fighting between the two sides was fierce, the German tanks once arrived on the west bank of the bridge, and the wounded soldiers placed on the east side of the bridge were ready to blast the bridge and leave their own people and the enemy on the west side of the bridge.

And among these own people, including the colonel who recruited this unit.

Eventually, one of the paratroopers rushed to the tank and fired the Bazooka rocket launcher less than ten meters from the tank, successfully destroying the indestructible Tiger, but at the cost of engulfing himself in a violent explosion.

All the positions in the whole town are in need of reinforcements, but the colonel has already reached the point where there are no soldiers to send, and he even led a few people in the command to form a small position with submachine guns to resist the German front - by this time, all the command systems have long been chaotic, and each squad and platoon are fighting on their own, including the attacking Germans, in the town where the enemy and the enemy are staggered, you never know if there are still people holding on to the place you just crossed, and it is very likely that when you are attacking, there are still people resisting behind you.

As it was getting dark, the battle reached its climax, and the Germans wanted to take control of the bridge before dark, so they organized the last forces they could concentrate and launched another assault on the bridge that was close at hand.

The medics and nurses trembled their hands on the detonator, waiting for the Germans to reach the bridge and detonate it, around the position less than 50 meters long at the west end of the bridge, the two sides fell more than 60 people in just ten minutes, the colonel with seven or eight gathered up routs joined the battlefield at this most critical time, but he was greeted by a tiger full of scars but never lying on his stomach.

Is...... Desperate Tiger Style!

And at the time of the final battle, Zheng Yingqi took four people, but he touched into the German command headquarters - a German major and several lieutenants, who were hysterically commanding in the command headquarters that could not withstand a grenade, in order to take the bridge in one fell swoop, they had to send the only guards in the command headquarters, thinking that the headquarters was the safest place surrounded by their own side, but they never thought that in the safest position, a small group of American paratroopers appeared.

On the front line of fierce fighting, how can there be a safe place?

Bang bang bang

Fierce gunfire erupted in explosions, and as the smoke cleared, everyone in the German command turned into remnants of unwilling to accept their fate.

Position west of the bridge.

Rumbling forward, as if the tiger was about to crush the whole world, the Colonel roared, "Blow it up!" ”

The paratroopers around the colonel took everything that could deal with the tank, such as the Bazooka and the Ganmon bombs, and pounced on the Tiger that was slowly crushing like a giant beast in the wilderness, although the paratroopers did not want to take these things to face the tank head-on, but under the pressure of the Tiger, the limited movement position made them have to face the Tiger head-on in an almost deathly manner, and then fight for the opportunity to blow up the Tiger.

No one knows how high the chances are, but the Tiger told them with a machine gun that they wanted to approach it...... Then be ready to pave the way with blood!

As the MG-34 roared, one of the paratroopers collapsed in a pool of blood, and at this time, the Tiger stopped, its turret adjusting its direction slightly, and the communications officer in front of the colonel screamed as he watched the barrel of the Tiger's black hole hole aim at them.

The next moment, the smoke at the muzzle of the tiger-like cannon was filled, and with the sound of the explosion, the screaming stopped abruptly, and when the smoke of the explosion dissipated, a huge crater appeared there, and the two figures at the crater location had turned into fragmented corpses and blood rain with the explosion.

The colonel is gone, dead.

But in this blood-stained town, in this town full of anger, no one noticed this, just as the attacking Germans did not know that their command had come to naught!

The Tiger didn't know what they had killed with one shot, and was now turning in place, ready to continue towards the bridgehead - the Tiger was confident that as long as it squatted at the bridgehead, the bridge would be a permanent fortification that could not fall.

In the rumbling movement, the paratroopers who had not yet lost their breath turned into flesh and blood under the crushing of the huge tiger car, and the American and German corpses in front of it turned into blood and mud one after another, and the tiger continued to move forward with a roar, running over another corpse, but just as the blood-colored tracks crushed the corpse, the corpse moved.

He rolled over, narrowly avoiding the crushing of the tracks, but appeared at the bottom of the tiger, and the paratrooper looked at his bloody belly and laughed miserably, and then, he made a decision.

rumble

A violent explosion sounded, the explosion occurred under the chassis of the Tiger, the fragments pierced the ground, flying freely in the narrow body, and the occupants inside stopped the operation of the behemoth under the double blow of explosion and debris.

With the tiger's nest, the offensive of the infantry relying on the tiger was finally contained, and the paratroopers launched a counterattack against the place where the infantry gathered with all the weapons at their disposal, launched a revenge against the roaring machine guns, and began to retaliate against the Germans!

"Support! Support is needed here! ”

"What about people? We need support! ”

"Hurry up and go to the headquarters and ask the battalion commander to send someone over to support!"

The Germans were howling, they were unwilling to give up the victory that was within reach, and in the face of the paratroopers' vengeful counterattacks and retaliation, they held their positions, containing the paratroopers with the rain of bullets from machine guns, rifles and submachine guns, and they held on to their positions, intending to wait for reinforcements to arrive and completely control the place.

But reinforcements ......

But it didn't come!

Finally, someone ran back with a confused face: "Oh no! Battalion commander, they are dead! ”

The lieutenant wanted to stop the German, but it was too late, and this sentence had already been heard by everyone in this position.

Finished...... It's all over......

The lieutenant was unwilling to slam his fist to the ground, and his fist was bleeding profusely, and he wanted to shoot this fool who reported the news. He knew it was over...... It's completely finished!

He's dead?

He's dead!

All the insistence came to naught after this sentence, even though the lieutenant wanted to control the troops and continue the attack, but the soldiers completely lost their will to fight because of this sentence, and the counterattack of the paratroopers became more and more fierce......

Defeat is like a mountain!

The first German turned around and ran, and then the second, third, tenth, twentieth appeared......

The defeat was a contagious plague, and the rout of a small position turned into the rout of a position, and then, the rout spread, and all the German troops ran away - the entire German army in Rumler began to rout frantically.

The paratroopers had already been red-eyed at this time, and the continuous fierce fighting had only one thought in their minds:

Kill the Germans! Kill them all!

The Germans ran away, and they began to chase, leaving behind one after another routing Germans, who at this time fled faster.

Finally, the paratroopers collapsed on the ground tired, unwilling to watch the Germans run away, and after catching their breath, the paratroopers walked towards Rumler in all directions, and then they suddenly realized:

German...... Ran away by them again?

Did they win?

Win!

The paratroopers were ecstatic and began to cry with excitement, they actually held this town again!

……

A few paratroopers went after the Germans, but there were still plenty of paratroopers in the town.

They cleaned up the Germans who didn't have time to escape, and arrested a German soldier who raised his hand from the bunker, and fires happened from time to time, but people turned a blind eye to this, even the most principled Ryan, at this time, he didn't care about the endless fires.

In the end, a total of fourteen captives were gathered together, and the captives who had survived from the guns were huddled together tremblingly and breathed a sigh of relief.

survived......

The captives cried for the rest of their lives, but the knife-like gazes of the ill-intentioned paratroopers made the surrendered Germans nervous, and they could only stop sobbing with joy and wait for themselves to be imprisoned in the prisoner of war camp.

On the other side, Welsh was escorting the wounded to the medical center - there were only nine of his men left, including three seriously wounded, Welsh and Ryan and Zheng Yingqi had sent the three seriously injured to the medical center in Qiaodong, where there were more than 30 wailing seriously wounded who lacked the necessary medicines, and several paramedics and military doctors could only temporarily treat the wounded with morphine and bandages.

"Second Lieutenant, we need medicine, they must be properly treated!" Medic Rhodes shouted excitedly at Velsh.

"I'm sorry, you'll have to find someone else about this, I'm just a little lieutenant!" Velsh smiled wryly and spread his hands.

"I've searched around, but I've only seen you as an officer." The military doctor's words stunned Velsh, and even Zheng Yingqi, who had just let go of the wounded, was stunned.

"What about the Colonel?" Velsh asked.

"I didn't find it, I asked a lot of people, and they all said they hadn't seen it."

"Where's Major Roy?"

"Dead, dead when you bring it over."

Welsh said several names in succession in the order in which he took over the command, but the answer was all "dead or not found".

No one was found after the war, there was only one explanation, and he died in a corner that was not easy to find.

Finally Welsh asked: "What about Lieutenant Azov?" ”

"Dead. You're the only officer I've met so far. The medic repeated the phrase again, but this time, it was already clear what he meant—you might be the only officer in this town.

"Impossible! I can't be the only one left! "Welsh was emotional, scared, nervous, and ...... Astound.

"Save them with you, save them, understand?" Welsh left this sentence and ran, he crossed the bridge and ran into a battlefield full of devastation, corpses, and gunsmoke, and when he saw people, he asked if he had seen an officer, and when he saw someone, he asked if he had seen an officer, but he often got only two answers:

Dead or not seen.

The Colonel's body was found, and it was found by the paratroopers who collected their own corpses, and the patchwork was not formed, and perhaps some part of him and the communications corps were confused.

And the officers were all "found", and every officer was numbered - they were now lying there quietly.

"I'm the only officer here?" Velsh looked at Zheng Yingqi in fear, he longed for Zheng Yingqi to say no to him, but Zheng Yingqi could only nod honestly, a total of eleven officers, all of them died - in the first battle, two died, and in the second battle before, the fierce battle was fiercely fought to the most critical time, there were battlefields everywhere, and there were desperate places, who could care about the escort officers? Where can the officer find soldiers to protect him?

So...... They were all dead.

Only Velsh, who had been promoted to sergeant several times and was promoted to private three times, survived to the end of this battle and became the last officer.

Suddenly, a huge burden fell on Welsh's body, the fate of all the paratroopers in this town, the bridge for which nearly four hundred paratroopers fought, and this Jedi ......

It was all on Welsh's shoulders.

It was heavy, heavy, so heavy that Wersh was filled with trepidation and panic when he realized that the burden was on his shoulders.

Zheng Yingqi looked at the frightened Welsh, and said, "You are now the only officer here, you have to take on your duties here, Second Lieutenant Welsh, understand?" ”

"I ...... I'm a petty second lieutenant who has only been an officer for eight months, and I ...... I don't know how...... What am I going to do? Wersh said in a panic.

Before this, he was the deputy platoon commander of the 1st platoon of E Company, and there was a platoon headed by Winters, and he didn't have much to worry about as the deputy platoon commander, Winters did and taught, and he just followed and learned, but now, ......

Suddenly, he was the only officer here, and he panicked.

Fortunately, Zheng Yingqi was a company commander and has a lot of management experience, of course, the most important thing is that Zheng Yingqi is the calmest and knows what to do.

He said: "Welsh, listen, all you have to do now is to first clarify your command authority and make all the paratroopers obey your orders, and then you will command them, command them to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time count the number of people and be ready to respond, understand?" ”

This paratrooper team was recruited by the colonel, and before it was led by officers, and the soldiers gathered together to obey the colonel's command through the bond of the officers, and then fought bloody battles with the Germans here, and now, the bond is gone, so what Welsh has to do is to gather everyone and make everyone clearly understand Welsh's leadership position - at this critical time, the team must not be dispersed into several waves, if it is really divided into several waves, then this task ......

It's definitely over.

"I see." After hearing Zheng Yingqi's words, Welsh's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had found a goal, but soon, he said worriedly:

"But...... What should I do? ”

"Gather everyone first, then gather all the non-commissioned officers, report on the current situation, and use the non-commissioned officers as a link to coordinate everyone."

"Understood, understood," Welsh finally understood, this time he should really understand, or it may be that Zheng Yingqi's methodical advice made Welsh find a sense of security, he lost his previous panic and panic, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, he said to Zheng Yingqi:

"Jacob, I need your help!"
