Night covered the land, and the world ravaged by the flames of war made even insects tremble and dare not make a sound, and the whole world was filled with the breath of death.

In this world of death, Jacobban, who was responsible for the guard, hid in the barren grass, watching the end of the darkness.

In the past few days of marching and fierce battles, the spirit of these energetic paratroopers has already reached the extreme, in this situation where there is no wind and grass, no insect chirping, no anger, it is easy to go to Zhou Gong in a daze, in order to prevent himself from sleeping, he wants to use various methods to keep himself awake, just like Private Wilson, who was trapped and tortured really can't stand it, so he put the tobacco leaves in his mouth and chewed them.

But with the continuous chewing, the addiction to cigarettes came up, and after boiling for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he quietly began to dig a pit in the ground, and after digging a small pit that could stuff his head, he quietly took out a raincoat, covered the surroundings, struck a match in the small pit, and then lit a cigarette, his head was close to the small pit, and he took a hard pit and a puff and a puff.

Stimulated by nicotine, the sleepiness faded like a tide, and Wilson showed a smug look, proud of his cleverness.

[I'm such a genius. 】

Wilson thought proudly, not noticing that the invisible smell of smoke was slowly rippling around.

……

A German soldier was slowly advancing through the grass, and the closer they got to Rumler, the more vigilant the German soldiers became—although their commander said that what they needed now was to infiltrate and occupy, but the town that had left so many Germans in the sand was seen by these Germans was a devil's cave, like a place where the devils of hell opened their mouths and continued to devour lives, and they had to raise their spirits a million times over.

Slowly groping and marching, the German soldiers suddenly smelled something strange in the air.

[This is the ...... Smell of smoke? 】

The German soldier was excited, and the hairs on his body stood up in an instant, this place is still hundreds of meters away from Rumler, how can the smell of cigarettes come here?

Unless......

Someone here has just smoked!

The German soldier's nerves immediately tensed at the thought of this possibility, but then he showed a sinister smile;

How wonderful it is that I found you, and you didn't know I was coming......

Thinking like this, the German soldier slowly drew his bayonet, leaned down, and groped here with gentler steps, intending to find the person in the shadows, and then solve the other party with a bayonet.

Wilson didn't realize the danger coming, and he was still bored on alert - but smoking addiction is indeed magical, relying on the nourishment of nicotine to drive away his sleepiness, but only ten minutes, his sleepiness came again, this time mixed with the torture of smoking addiction, with the experience just now, Wilson plans to clean up the damn addiction.

[Sample, let you torture me!] This time see how I clean you up! 】

Wilson muttered in his heart, and simply threw the remaining three cigarettes into the pit one by one, and then lit one again - if you dare to come to smoke, I will smoke one after another to make you happy.

In the silent grass, the sudden striking of matches, although covered by raincoats, was captured by the sneaking German soldiers at close range.

[Arrogant, stupid Yankee! 】

The German soldier grinned, took the bayonet and approached the spot where the fire had flashed earlier, and as he got closer, the German soldier noticed that the Yankee was shoving his head into the ground, and there were flashes of red around him.

Seeing that there was only less than two or three meters left, the German soldiers suddenly pounced, and immediately pounced on Wilson, who was smoking, covering Wilson's mouth with one hand, and holding a bayonet in the other hand, and piercing Wilson's body.

One, two, three......

The blood flowed like an infusion, and Wilson's struggle continued to weaken, and in the end, as the blood gushed out, the whole person was left with futile convulsions, his eyes stared blankly at the German soldier who stabbed him to death, and there was only one thought in his mind:

I...... I'm in trouble......

The German soldier stabbed Wilson twice more according to the still twitching Wilson, and after looking at him with lifeless eyes, the German soldier sneered disapprovingly, Do you want to remember this face of mine?

I'm sorry, but I've killed many, many people, you...... Count that green onion?

At that moment, the minds of the German soldiers flashed through the faces of the concentration camp, from the first useless old man to the child he had killed not long ago......

The German soldiers sneered, after killing so many people, am I still afraid of the stares of your dead man?

The blood from the bayonet wiped Wilson's clothes dry, and the Germans, signaling to the rear, continued to grope their way forward, while behind him was a squad of German troops, and behind this squad of Germans were more Germans.

……

The world at night is still so silent, but Zheng Yingqi always has a sense of uneasiness surrounding him, and as time goes by, this uneasiness becomes more and more serious, and in the end, it seems as if a catastrophe is coming—just like when he and Yamamoto finally confronted each other when the sword was shining.

Driven by unease, Zheng Yingqi decided to check around to see what was going on - his men were scattered within hundreds of meters to keep watch, and he suspected that something was wrong.

[You won't be touched by the Germans, right?] 】

Zheng Yingqi shook his head and drove this possibility out of his head, these paratroopers are the elite of the 101st Division, and they will not make the low-level mistake of being distracted when they are on alert, probably not.

Despite thinking so, Zheng Yingqi still set off and began to check the location of all his subordinates.

Martin, Arley, Ryan......

Zheng Yingqi checked one by one, these subordinates were monitoring the surroundings in the most vigilant state, in terms of ordinary elites, they couldn't pick any thorns, Zheng Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief, but the uneasiness in his heart still did not dissipate, he continued to walk forward, checking the position of the last paratrooper, that is, Wilson.

Wilson, like most of his subordinates, had been assigned to him at the previous meeting, but they had all gone through fierce battles, transforming from an immature rookie to an old bird who defied death. Zheng Yingqi touched his pocket, and there was still a small half-pack of cigarettes in his pocket, which could give this subordinate who was very addicted to smoking a good time after his duty was over—but at this moment, Zheng Yingqi suddenly squatted into the grass and looked at the darkness more than thirty meters away.

Although he couldn't see anyone, Zheng Yingqi still felt that someone was moving slowly, not one or two, but ...... That's a lot of people!

[Germans? 】

His heart lifted, and he even had the feeling that he had been pecking at a small finch all year round, but he had not expected to be pecked by a small finch—Jehovah and Jesus blessed, he was really a German.

After all, he finally saw the "visitors" in the darkness - several Germans were moving slowly in a very cautious posture.

"It's more than 20 metres from where Wilson is lurking...... Wilson should have been able to find out what was going on here, and since he hadn't, there was only one possibility...... He was touched. ”

!

Zheng Yingqi has only one thought at this moment, he was really pecked by the little finch!

At the same time, Zheng Yingqi aimed the Thomson in his hand at the figure in front of him who was carefully groping, and after pulling the trigger, with the flickering of the gun's flames, the four German soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.

The sound of gunfire breaks the dead silence of the night and wakes up the town's sleeping paratroopers...... It also made the sneaking German troops aware of the situation, and in the sound of German chirping, many German troops suddenly jumped out of the grass and began to charge towards Rumler.

The shouting of German in the dark made Zheng Yingqi tremble - how many German troops are this, so many German troops, and they are actually ...... I almost got under my nose!

Disgrace!

What an unforgivable retarded mistake!

And the big war, at this time, also broke out.

……

After a few days of fierce fighting, the paratroopers got used to sleeping in their clothes, and after the sudden gunfire rang out, the paratroopers, who were still sleeping a moment ago, suddenly bounced up from their sleeping places, and after touching the weapons at hand, they immediately loaded their loads, and then looked around with sharp eyes.

"What's ...... back?"

Before the question was over, the German howl was heard from a hundred and ten meters away, and the paratroopers immediately threw themselves down on the close position, watching the darkness with a vigilant gaze.

Countless figures began to flicker in the darkness, the paratroopers in the position quickly opened fire, firing at any moving figure, and the Germans began to return fire, and the whole night, began to be dotted with flickering gun flames, but each flicker, each flicker, represented the disappearance of a bullet enough to dissipate life.

In the dark, some German troops quickly broke through the position, but then they were suppressed in the position by paratroopers, and the two sides formed a dog-tooth staggered trend, in the darkness without lighting, constantly fighting - some German soldiers shot for a long time, and under the brief light of the explosion, they were stunned to find that less than ten meters away from them was actually the position of the American army.

There were also paratroopers who were forced to retreat step by step by the assault of the Germans, but when they found a new position to block the enemy, they were shocked to find that they actually appeared in the crowd of Germans......

As the current commander of the paratroopers, Welsh was stunned - in this chaotic situation, he could not command the troops at all, and he could not even contact the various sergeants, just like the commander of the German army, at this time, he seemed to be redundant.

But after all, Welsh was used to fighting, and when he could not contact the sergeant to command the troops, he decisively picked up the M1 carbine, put on a steel helmet and joined the war group, no matter what, he had to withstand this wave of German attacks, and then seek other things - in fact, Welsh didn't think about it that much at all, he only thought about repelling and driving away the Germans.

This is the case with many paratroopers, who have no other idea at all when they only know how to shoot at the Germans in the company of those around them in the chaos of the battlefield.

Zheng Yingqi joined the battle group in this situation - he didn't have time to gather his subordinates, he found out too late, the enemy had already touched the town's nose, and a charge could rush into the town's distance, in this case, all he could do was to enter the battle as soon as possible and buy time for the friendly forces in the town.

Even if it's for a few seconds.

At the beginning of the raid, the German army still maintained a complete structure, between the squads and platoons, and there was abundant cooperation, but as the battle continued, as the two sides converged together, the German army also lost its formation, and only relied on the pre-war requirements and constraints, and attacked vigorously - by this time, the advantages of the paratroopers were reflected, and the numerical advantage of the Germans was neutralized, and then the paratroopers retreated into the town and began to continue to exchange fire with the Germans by virtue of the complex environment in the town.

At this time, both sides began to use mortars, and the sound of roaring explosions continued to sound, and ruins were lifted everywhere, some people wailed in pain and despair, and some people howled hysterically.

Zheng Yingqi gathered three scattered paratroopers at this time, and after the four people gathered together, the three immediately expressed their willingness to follow Zheng Yingqi's action, Zheng Yingqi was not polite, and took people around to a roaring MG42 machine gun, Zheng Yingqi fooled a few fierce German soldiers in German, and after easily seizing a position, the four of them quickly surrounded the roaring machine gun.

Bang bang

The burst of submachine gun interrupted the sound of MG42's tearing cloth, the machine gunner fell on the machine gun, the hot barrel was in contact with the flesh, making a slight sizzling sound, a paratrooper stepped forward and threw the body of the machine gunner aside, and fired at the Germans not far away, Zheng Yingqi They counterattacked the Germans under the cover of the machine gun, but unexpectedly only took a few steps, and the machine gun behind it was dumb - a German soldier who came over with a few boxes of machine gun bullets, killed the paratrooper with one shot, he just wanted to regain control of the machine gun, But in the next second, he was pierced by several bullets.

It was not the American army that killed him, but the German army - and those German soldiers who shot were knocked down by Zheng Yingqi immediately after the location of the gunfire because of the exposed position of the gunfire, and they did not know that they had just fired and killed their own people.

This is the night battle, the melee.

The paratroopers have been baptized by cruel battles, their combat will and combat level are better than this regular German infantry, after the battle lasted for more than an hour, the gap between the two sides in the combat will become more prominent, especially the paratroopers spontaneous assaults, counterattacks, the German army that was already in command of chaos was more restrained, and the turn of the battle was because of a paratrooper group that broke into the German position in the melee.

Under the leadership of the sergeant, the team originally wanted to take out a mortar, but when searching for the mortar, it inadvertently went the wrong way and broke into the German army, and in the fierce battle, the paratrooper team lost three people in succession, and the remaining two were forced to get into half of the building that looked like it could be kicked and collapsed, in order to avoid the grenades thrown by the Germans, the two ran to the next door in a panic, but unexpectedly ran headlong into a German soldier.

The paratrooper sergeant was the first to fire, and Garland in his hand finished the bullet as fast as he could, and with the clinking of the leak, the sergeant began to gasp for breath, just now...... It scared him to death.

The private slowly stepped forward with a carbine, kicked the corpses one by one, and then cried out: "! It's a big fish, and it's still a lieutenant. ”

"Leave him alone," said the sergeant after the shots, "get out of here, watch out for the Germans coming at you!" ”

Unbeknownst to the two, they inadvertently killed the commander of the unit - soon the Germans realized that the commander had been killed, and another officer, a platoon commander, had also been killed in the battle, and seeing that they could not win in a short time, the master sergeant, who had taken over the command, decided to withdraw from the battle before dawn.

If measured by the quality of the German army at the beginning of World War II, after the order to end the battle and retreat was issued, the infantry company with a large number of professional soldiers was easy to get out of the battle in an organized manner, but this non-commissioned officer forgot that the current army was not the army that swept Europe at the beginning of the war, a large number of recruits were flooded with it, and the backbone was not as professional as before.

Even if the Master Chief is desperate to lead people to the end, it will not help!

The Germans are going to run!

As soon as the paratroopers saw that the Germans wanted to run, they began to pursue without thinking about it, and the withdrawal of the German army became a rout in an instant, and even the two squads of the broken troops led by the chief of the petty officer were also disrupted by their own people, and the paratroopers rushed in next to each other, and after a random shot, the 47-year-old non-commissioned officer chief, who was called up to the battlefield again, was killed in this way.

Until his death, he didn't know what the army that swept across Europe and avenged the suffering of more than 20 years ago was ...... What's wrong!

When the German army was about to run, Zheng Yingqi decisively rushed forward with people, which became one of the main pressures for the German rout, and chased the defeated enemy, Zheng Yingqi has extremely rich experience, he stopped the foolish behavior of the paratroopers to intercept the detour, and signaled everyone to follow him to reduce the German army layer by layer.

When the pursuit lasted for more than half an hour, a German soldier could not stand this humiliating escape in his opinion, and after destroying one of his comrades who was running the most, he pointed a gun at these routed soldiers, forced them to stay with him, and taught the pursuing Yankees a hard lesson.

The threatened German soldiers deliberately ignored him, but when they heard about the madman in front of them, they did not dare to resist, so they could only be threatened by him and hurriedly build a blocking position.

These German soldiers all knew that this madman had served in a concentration camp before, and legend had it that they could ignore it, but they had seen the picture of this madman killing people with their own eyes, and no one dared to resist this madman - if others were threatening, this madman would definitely do it!

Seven people but only three guns, two grenades, these German soldiers who were threatened to stay, trembling and waiting for the pursuing American troops behind, were about to take the lead with the light of the morning light, but unexpectedly just about to fire, the chasing American soldiers took the lead in shooting - the grenade that had just pulled the string fell into their own blocking position with the soldiers falling to the ground, and some people acted quickly, picked up the grenade as if throwing it out, and were knocked down as soon as they stood up.

rumble

The grenade exploded in the improvised position, and the two German soldiers were blown out of the position, while Zheng Yingqi, who was pursuing, stepped on the explosion and rushed into the blocking position, the submachine gun in his hand roared, and a German soldier wielding a bayonet like a pounce, with blood flowers exploding on his chest, and finally fell to the ground.

What Zheng Yingqi didn't notice was that after the German soldier fell to the ground, he showed a strange expression, like relief and unforgettable fear......

Two unarmed German soldiers, at this time raised their hands to signal their surrender, Zheng Yingqi's paratroopers next to see the surrendered German soldiers, showed a trace of hideousness, the carbine in their hands slammed, and the two German soldiers who raised their hands fell to the ground in the gunfire.

"Sergeant, it's gone off." The paratrooper who fired the shot said with a smile.

Zheng Yingqi doesn't care, after a battle, the living soldiers will always have all kinds of negative emotions.

"Are we still chasing?"

Zheng Yingqi shook his head and said, "Okay, since the Germans can establish a blocking position here, it means that they are already gradually sorting out their ranks, and there is no need to chase them again." ”

The dignified soldier king, because of the crazy decision of a madman, made a wrong judgment......

Zheng Yingqi stopped the pursuit, but there were still paratroopers who did not stop the pursuit, and some people chased a full ten kilometers in one breath before stopping the pursuit, and the paratroopers who were killed only reacted at this time, and hurriedly retreated in a hurry - fortunately, the attention of the German army was still not focused on this, and these pursuing paratroopers did not hit the Germans, and they all retreated safely.

Just when Zheng Yingqi returned to Rumler, the interrogation of some prisoners of war also had results:

In fact, there were two German armies, and one German army would arrive around noon today, when the two German armies would attack Ramler together, but the company commander of this German army, because of a word from the escaped prisoners of war, changed his mind, and without joining the other German army, he took the lead in the attack at night, intending to complete the infiltration and occupation of what he said.

But what about the result......

"That is, in time for noon, there will be a German army arriving?"

"Yes, Jacob, I intend to ambush this vanguard of the German army! I'll leave this matter to you, how's that? ”
