War is a very cruel thing, and under the big goal of war, the interests of individuals, their lives, and the lives of a group of individuals are so insignificant.

A group of people here, including a village or an army.

……

Azov rushed to the village of Gosekany with a team that had grown up on the road, by this time he had more than 40 men in his hands, and around the village of Gosekany there was a moving paratrooper corps, which, when the two sides converged, increased to 74 people.

But the commander of C Company was not here, and in this case, Azov became the acting company commander of C Company, responsible for commanding the paratroopers around him.

"Attack!"

Azov's first order was to attack - in the context of the whole great campaign, human lives were really insignificant, take E Company as an example, before D, Company Commander Mihan emphasized more than once that our task was to land, occupy the village of Boubeville, and hold there, as long as the Germans had the intention of reinforcing Utah Beach, even if it was only one person, they would attack the Germans, even if it was delayed for a second.

Note that one second here is the cheap price of a human life!

So the reason why C Company attacked the village of Gosekconi with 74 men was that they had to occupy it before German support arrived, and to hold off the German support forces and buy time for the landing force - for the sake of this "time", they were all objects to be sacrificed.

Even the lives of American soldiers can be sacrificed, the lives of the French in that village...... What can't be sacrificed?

……

When Azov arranged the attack, it was as if he had rehearsed it many times—C Company, like E Company, had obviously done corresponding training for the situation in the village of Gaseconi, and even knew all the fixed firepower arrangements of the German army in the village, and he only needed to follow the previous drill and make the same deployment.

Of course, the paratroopers from the rest of the troops did not know about this and could only attack under order.

The offensive was not very smooth, after all, the number of defenders was much higher than that of the attacking paratroopers, and there were relatively complete positions, but as time went by, more and more paratroopers were attracted by the fierce gunfire, and gradually formed an advantage in numbers, and the defending German troops were powerless, and at this time, Zheng Yingqi and two rookies of the 82nd Division and two comrades of E Company broke through the flank position of the defenders.

The breakthrough of the position on the left, coupled with the steady arrival of paratroopers, finally ran away from the defending Germans, and more than 130 paratroopers occupied the village.

By this time, the sky had turned blue.

Although there were more than 180 paratroopers gathered here, there was only one operator -- but when he was parachuting, the radio station he was carrying was broken into parts and could not be repaired, which means that the paratrooper unit that occupied the village lost the tools to communicate with the outside world, and could not even call for help at a critical time.

Although the operators collected the radio in the village and tried to repair the radio, everyone was hopeless about whether it could be repaired.

……

It was a village of just over 400 people, but when the fighting was extinguished, there were only about 300 people left - in this battle, which lasted more than three hours, hundreds of people on both sides fell in the battle, but in addition, nearly 100 villagers fell in the battle.

Amid the cries of the villagers, the paratroopers took the villagers out of the village to keep them away from the fierce battle that would ensue, and some begged for more time to transfer their property and livestock, but the captain, who had arrived to take over the command, gave the villagers only half an hour to move more things.

In the face of pleading and crying, all the paratroopers behaved with great indifference - in Azov's words:

At least you're still alive.

The paratroopers began to build the fortifications before the villagers had completely evacuated, and the village of Gossacony, which was already in ruins, soon appeared with various obstacles that hindered the tanks and infantry, while the paratroopers were still busy making it the most lethal position in the shortest possible time.

"I don't know how our company is doing now, have we taken the No. 2 embankment passage......" Willsh looked into the distance worriedly in the busy interval, Zheng Yingqi said: "Don't worry, E Company is the most combat-effective company in this airborne, and the No. 2 embankment passage will definitely fall into our hands now." ”

Ali agreed: "Definitely, I have a lot of confidence in our company commander Mihan. ”

At this time, they didn't know that the company commander Mihan in their mouth ended their lives without even getting off the plane.

At this time, Azov came over and said to Zheng Yingqi and them: "Welsh, Jacob, give you a task, bring a few people to bring Ben and the wounded back, this is Private Ryan, she will accompany you over." ”

"Yes."

Wills and Zheng Yingqi did not hesitate - Azofu was interesting enough, at least they sent someone from C Company.

At eight o'clock, the group of eight people left the village and headed for the place where the wounded had been housed, when the sound of distant explosions and fierce gunfire had been going on for a long time - apparently the bloody landing operation had begun.

I didn't sleep all night last night, and I experienced a series of fierce battles and marches, but because of the sound of gunfire, these people were in good spirits, and they didn't look like they were trapped and tortured.

On the way to pick up the wounded, Private Ryan of C Company kept chatting with Zheng Yingqi, although Zheng Yingqi rarely took the initiative to speak, but he still talked to Ryan without a match.

Ryan said that of the three brothers, he was the only one who joined the paratroopers, and the other two brothers were in the army—he longed for the handsome form of paratroopers falling from the sky.

"Do you regret it now?" Zheng Yingqi planned to talk to death, but he didn't want Ryan to say: "I don't regret it, compared to the rest of the army in my brothers' mouths, I still like paratroopers." ”

"Why?"

"Because paratroopers are always in the company of the strong, unlike the army, which has all kinds of fools who are fools, evade training, and can't fight." "I told my brothers about the paratroopers, and they were all envious of the fact that this is what the army looks like, that paratroopers can trust each other, and that you never know what kind of strange comrades you will be with in other armies," Ryan said. ”

Zheng Yingqi listened to it, but he shook his head and envy in his heart - the American army that was touted in World War II......

Compared with the Asian armies represented by China, Japan, and Vietnam, the US military is actually like that, but people have a lot of money, even if the quality of the army is poor, and the huge amount of steel can completely erase these factors.

Forget it, if you can't envy it, your own country will eventually rise in the ordeal, and it will be better in the future.

Ali, who was the spearhead, ran over quickly and said in a panic: "Germans! There are German troops ahead! A lot of German troops! ”

"Hide! Fast! Fast! Fast! Welsh quickly ordered, and the eight-man squad ran into the woods at a rapid pace, and a few minutes later, two half-track reconnaissance vehicles drove up, and behind them were a large group of German troops, which were also mixed with three Leopards and two Tiger tanks.

Looking at this unit of the German army, Wersh couldn't help but say: "C Company is in trouble......"

"What are we going to do? Go pick them up or go back to support? Ali asked, pale.

Velsh couldn't help but look at Zheng Yingqi, and Zheng Yingqi said, "I suggest going to pick up Ben and them first, and then return to the village to support." ”

After hearing Zheng Yingqi's suggestion, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, Welsh nodded, and after the German army of about two companies left, he led everyone to continue to move in the direction where the wounded were hidden, but at this time the atmosphere of the squad became heavy, and everyone was shrouded in the dark clouds of the bitter battle that was bound to be fought.

The procession continued on its march and soon arrived at the previous battlefield, where the scattered German corpses were gone, and there was only a large mound of freshly dug earth not far away, which seemed to have been cleaned up by the Germans who had passed by.

Looking at the battlefield that had been cleaned by the Germans, Ryan couldn't help but say, "God forbid, I hope they're okay." ”

"They'll be fine." Jon comforts Ryan, but the truth is against Jon!

The crowd reached for the wounded to hide, but all they saw were five bodies that had been shot and killed - the Germans had found them and killed them all in revenge.

"Grass!"

Welsh angrily kicked the tree, and Ryan pounced to see if anyone was alive. The rest of the people looked very complicated - probably indignant at the behavior of the Germans who did not spare even the wounded.

Zheng Yingqi looked as usual - this is a war, a war of life and death, the paratroopers have also killed the prisoners of the Germans, life is luck, death is life.

Of course, this is also because it is not a pain for him.

After burying five of their comrades who had been slaughtered by the Germans, the team fell silent, and none of them wanted to say the same thing - let's go back.

Going back would mean fighting the Germans with five tanks, and they would most likely be lifeless corpses without waiting for reinforcements.

"It's time for us to go back!" Welsh said: "Company C needs us now. ”

Yes, Company C needs them now, and at this time, any living force is precious, let alone eight people here.

But...... How many people survived the fierce battle after returning home?

The team didn't move, and Ryan looked at the people who didn't move in surprise and said, "We have to go and help!" ”

"Let's go, life is luck, death is fate." Zheng Yingqi stood up and took the lead in stepping, after seeing Zheng Yingqi's movements, Ali followed closely, Jon from the 82nd Division and the two of them glanced at each other, and also followed Zheng Yingqi, and the rest of the people could only follow the team when they saw this.

Sometimes, when people are dominated by cowardice, they only need an example.

The battle in the village was fierce, and even from a distance, you could feel the atmosphere of fierce fighting, and when the team got closer, they realized that it was even more fierce than they imagined - many houses were turned into piles of ruins under the savage collision of tanks, the wreckage of three tanks was constantly burning in smoke on the battlefield full of ruins, and countless German and American paratroopers were fighting for every inch of land inch by inch on the ruins.

Seeing the village that had changed shape and appearance, the team of people who had traveled back and forth for more than ten kilometers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

After Zheng Yingqi saw everyone's reaction, he said: "The German army is now attacking with a strong attack, and the defense is open behind, just like a powerful boxer, a strong attack does not protect the back, at this time, even a child, as long as he holds a knife, he can stab them to death!" ”

Stab them to death...... Of course, it's nonsense, after all, judging from the sound of gunfire, the number of paratroopers in the village is less than seventy or eighty, but the German troops inside are at least more than two hundred and fifty people, stabbing them to death? It's better to buy time and see if there are any reinforcements that come over......

Zheng Yingqi's statement, I don't know if anyone believes it, but under Welsh's order, everyone carried out the order without hesitation - eight people stabbed the Germans in the back fiercely.

The sudden appearance of eight combat forces made the German offensive pause, and then the German army adjusted its subordinates and transferred a platoon of troops, intending to pull out the knife in the back.

At Zheng Yingqi's suggestion, the eight-person team arranged a very tricky position, forming an inverted triangle-like position with the help of the devastation everywhere, while Zheng Yingqi and Ali were guarding the arrows of the entire triangle.

After the battle broke out, the arrows guarded by Zheng Yingqi and Ali became a nightmare for the Germans - they attacked three times with heavy troops, but all of them were carried by Zheng Yingqi to death, coupled with the blows of fire from both sides, the three assaults made the Germans drop no less than fifteen corpses.

But after all, there are many Germans, seeing the idea in the rear, they directly transferred a tiger type, and in the roar of the tank, Zheng Yingqi dragged Ali away without hesitation, they didn't have anything to deal with the tiger in their hands, and the tiger was followed by a platoon of soldiers, and it was a fantasy to get close to the tank to blow up the tank, and if you don't run at this time, you will be an idiot!

The tank guns kept roaring, blowing up one ruin after another, but just as the tank protruded into the inverted triangle, the hidden Zheng Yingqi suddenly emerged from a pile of ruins, while Ali came out from the other side, holding a submachine gun and shooting at the infantry behind the tank, creating an opportunity for Zheng Yingqi.

Suddenly attacked, the infantry behind the tank looked for cover on the spot, and the tank turret also rotated to the direction of Ali's shooting, at this time, Zheng Yingqi pounced on the tank with a bomb, pasted the bomb to the side armor of the tank, and then turned over and ran - the tiger's frontal armor has a record of bouncing shells, and even armor-piercing shells are desperate, but the side armor is always the tiger's weak position.

rumble

The explosion sounded, the Tiger tracks were directly blown off, the rotating turret also stopped, and countless smoke came out of the car.

A great threat has been solved!

Although the tank is very deterrent in the street battle, the huge car, the shaking of the earth when the rumbling forward makes the individual small dare not fight, but the tank in the city, it is indeed easier to be destroyed than in the field, just like these two tigers - in the field, several Sherman tanks will be beaten by the tiger, and the infantry is a lamb to the slaughter in front of the synergy composed of tanks and infantry, but in the street battle, the tank with a narrow field of vision suddenly loses the protection of the infantry, and only dies miserably......

The tiger-style nest made the German army dumbfounded, and they continued to counterattack by the tiger style behind the nest, but in the front and rear sandwich, the counterattack could only be futile, just when the advancing German army sent reinforcements, the long-awaited reinforcements of C Company finally killed - a colonel with more than 300 paratroopers was like a god of war falling from the sky, completely breaking the illusion of this team of German troops.

Faced with the encirclement of many paratroopers, this group of Germans, after insisting on resisting for an hour, the remaining more than 100 people laid down their weapons and accepted the persuasion of the paratroopers to surrender.

The colonel, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, thought that he could temporarily get out of the fierce battle, but had never wanted to support them, actually recruited them:

"Listen, your mission is now complete, and I'm going to requisition you now to Rumle."

(Does anyone know where the plot is for Remler?) 0.0）
