Chapter 0402: E-Company: Spears Era (1)
。
Zheng Yingqi's life is not easy - well, there is no good life on the battlefield, but this time, his life is not ordinary!
After the Germans cut off the connection between the 1st platoon and the other two platoons with mortars, it was equivalent to Zheng Yingqi's platoon facing more than 100 Germans - God knows why the Germans, who should theoretically lose 70% of the battle and have little fighting spirit, are more than a full company, and why there is also an 80-caliber mortar platoon.
Fortunately, the Germans had been blocking the road with mortar platoons, and if the ten mortars of the mortar platoon had concentrated fire on his side, he would have to wait and tremble in the blazing fire.
Several paratroopers of the 3rd platoon rushed quickly, and they were cut off during the artillery blockade, and rushed to the 1st platoon, which slightly made up for the lack of troops in the 1st platoon, but even so, all the manpower that Zheng Yingqi could use in his hands, including the wounded, was only 23 people, and at this time, Spears's order came:
Prepare to lead the attack on the firing point on the right side of the German army.
[It seems that there is a way to break the game.] 】
Zheng Yingqi knew in his heart that Spears was one of the most prestigious platoon commanders in the 2nd Battalion, and he really didn't disappoint himself.
"Hubuler, you and Stro and Jon take care of the wounded, Tibo, you take the 2nd class to guard here, the others, follow me!" Zheng Yingqi ordered one after another.
Just when Zheng Yingqi gave the order, the 3rd platoon also began to feint on the left side of the German position, the German commander realized that the American army wanted to break through the left position, and immediately strengthened the fire on the left side, and at the same time divided the mortar support, but at this time the American troops embedded in their position began to attack the right position, the German army thought that this was a sound to attack the west, and immediately transferred manpower to strengthen the right side.
Spears has been paying attention to the movements of the German army, and after seeing that the Germans have strengthened their firepower on the left and right, he said to Compton: "Take two squads to make the appearance of attacking the German position on the right side, and I will lead the remaining squad to cut in from the middle, and after cutting in, Jacob and I will cooperate with you to attack the right position, pay attention to cooperation." ”
"Just take a class?"
"Enough! A small half of the Germans were pinned down by the 1st platoon and could not move, and we would not be under much pressure. Spears said confidently that his faith was so contagious to Compton that Compton was too embarrassed to ask again.
Soldiers, you are fast!
The 2nd Platoon immediately launched a feint, taking advantage of the fact that the 2nd and 3rd Platoons were attracting the fire of the German positions on the left and right, and Spears immediately ordered Redban, who followed him, to rush forward.
Red couldn't help but swallow - this is a wide field, although because of the infiltration of the first platoon, the Germans do not have much firepower to support in the middle, but the first platoon is now divided, and it has to deal with the Germans who take the opportunity to attack, so that the Germans in the middle can free their hands, and the distance of more than 300 meters is just rushing over?
Rush over like a target?
Just when Red hesitated, Spears had already pounced and rushed forward, seeing the new company commander rushing out so awesomely, Red gritted his teeth and ordered the whole class to follow.
The German commander cursed and hurriedly let the mortars block with artillery fire, but only how many mortars did the mortar platoon have? This will be supporting the left and right flanks, and by the time they adjust their shooting angles, Spears will already be halfway through the distance!
Zheng Yingqi, who was pinning down the fire on the right side of the German army, saw this scene and couldn't help muttering: "! ”
Spears is such a ruthless guy that he did two foreshadowings just to send a class in - but it's so useful! If you strengthen a squad on your side, you can break thirty people, which is enough to contain the German army of more than sixty or seventy people, and the German army, which is already overstretched, is so restrained by yourself, how many people can block the back?
But Zheng Yingqi never expected that Spears would come over in person!
So when he saw that the friendly troops who came to help were leading the team with Spears, he was stunned for a second or two - he had been in the Band of Brothers plot for so long, and he had seen a U.S. military officer who didn't want to die, but it was the first time he had seen someone like Spears who didn't want to die and dared to play with his life!
"Winters has finally sent a very reliable officer to E Company!"
Zheng Yingqi thought to himself.
With the 1st platoon receiving reinforcements from a squad, the balance of victory has begun to tilt in favor of the paratroopers, and Spears and Zheng Yingqi's subsequent desperate attack on the right flank made the German commander's heart sink in, and he commanded the troops to block this wave of deadly fists of the American army, but in the case of segmented containment, he could not lose much manpower at all, and could only watch his left flank position being gnawed off little by little.
"I still have a chance! I also have a mortar platoon! And more than a hundred people! I'm going to hold this place, and as long as I have reinforcements, you Yankees will all stay here!" ”
The German commander did not want to abandon his position and led people to hold on with the intention of waiting for reinforcements.
He relied on a mortar platoon in his hand and had the advantage of artillery, but whether it was Zheng Yingqi or Spears, how could he put up with a mortar platoon threatening him under his eyelids?
So, after just occupying the position on the right, Zheng Yingqi led people to attack the mortar platoon.
Of course, the Germans had to do their best to protect their dependence, so around the mortar platoon, the two sides engaged in another fierce battle, but this fierce battle was a trick for Spears, who used this time to transfer the mortars of the whole company from Peacock's side and quietly assembled behind an anti-slope more than 600 meters from the German mortar position.
This wave of operations exceeded the expectations of the German army, and the mortar platoon, which was supposed to be properly protected, was deliberately shelled by the American army in an instant, and with the three mortars being knocked out, the German army has realized the irreparable rout, and the reinforcements have never been able to break through the blockade of the American army, so they can only reluctantly abandon this position.
Win!
After the Germans hastily withdrew from their positions, the paratroopers, who had shown an unstoppable position, suddenly lost all their strength and collapsed to the ground one by one. And their eyes couldn't help but look at the figure who was constantly patrolling back and forth on the battlefield and assigned the soldiers to work.
Zheng Yingqi also breathed a sigh of relief, the 1st platoon of this battle was the hardest, and it touched the German position before dawn, and when it ended, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, and the fierce battle for nearly five hours was really ......
Annoying!
"We have lost five brothers, Aemond, Tork, ......" Hubler reported the battle damage to Zheng Yingqi with sadness, and after reading the names of the fallen one by one, he continued: "In addition, we have seven brothers who have been wounded. ”
The wounds that Hubul spoke of were the kind of injuries that had to be treated in the hospital—some of the injuries that had been hastily bandaged by the medics did not count at all.
Before the attack, there were only 17 people left in the 1st platoon, and now, with five dead and seven wounded, there are only 7 people left in the 1st platoon?
Zheng Yingqi was stunned for a while, and then asked Hubuler: "How many brothers do we have in the hospital?" ”
"Not counting the seven today, there are 16."
Hearing this, Zheng Yingqi finally felt a lot better. Sooner or later, the wounded ones will come back, and as soon as they come back, the 1st platoon will still be the first platoon in E Company.
At this time, Spears came over and asked about the situation in the first row, and Zheng Yingqi told Spears about the situation that had just been sorted out.
Rao is Spears has been shouted "cold-blooded" by his subordinates, and he can't help but stagnate, this platoon is really amazing!
"I'll take a few days off, and I'll find a way to add some manpower to the platoon." Spears patted Zheng Yingqi on the shoulder and said, "You guys are good." ”
At this moment, Zheng Yingqi realized that E Company had entered the Spears era.
Compared to the rest of the company commanders except Winters, Spears is indeed a very reliable commander - he can't help but look forward to the next Spears era.
(Talking counts dragon sauce?) Praise me? )
