Chapter 0377: Dutch War (3)
Zheng Yingqi was stunned.
He never thought that the reinforcements he was waiting for like years would be like a group of moths fighting fire, and they pounced on the Germans straight and straight from their actions of rushing towards the Germans.
It is true that in the training of the US army at this time, there is still bayonet training, but the firepower advantage of the US army has made white-knuckle warfare a thing of the past, and the mainstream equipment of the paratroopers is the M1 carbine, with a magazine of 15 or 30 rounds, which makes the density of firepower much higher than that of bolt-action rifles, and the reaction of the vast majority of US troops after the enemy rushes to the position is to turn around and run away, and will not fight a brutal white-knives battle at all.
So when Zheng Yingqi saw that the reinforcements actually rushed towards the enemy with the intention of fighting a white-knuckle battle, he was completely stunned, and even forgot to change the magazine.
Compared with medium- and close-range engagements where you can only see the enemy fall to the ground and long-distance engagements that are only responsible for firing bullets, white-knuckle combat requires very high psychological quality and stabbing ability of soldiers, and at the same time, it also requires "sharp knives" very much - why do ancient soldiers revere the brave more than modern soldiers? It is because in close-quarters combat, a brave man who can defeat three or more enemies with one is a sharp knife, which can make one's own morale like a rainbow, and can also make the enemy frightened.
Zheng Yingqi, who had fought in the Bright Sword World for several years, knew these very well, and after being surprised, he immediately stood up, took out his pistol and rushed forward.
But the Germans reacted beyond imagination - they were almost on the verge of collapse, and the moment the white-knuckle battle broke out, these Germans reacted beyond imagination, they actually ...... Subconsciously stepped back!
Zheng Yingqi was simply dumbfounded, he recognized from a German corpse that was still convulsing that this was the legendary murderous, fearless, cold-blooded and ruthless SS, the legendary SS didn't even care about his own life when he heard about the charge, and dared to play the Soviet-style "Ula" charge, why did he collapse at the touch of a button now?
It's a pity that he still wants to make another sharp arrow - it's a pity that he fights with bayonets here, and there is no "competition" between Monk Wei and himself.
Although I regret and miss it in my heart, this did not affect Zheng Yingqi's rush to kill, he held a pistol with an accurate single shot, and became the most beautiful boy in the white-knuckle battle - the Germans will not say bullshit such as "you don't have the spirit of bushido", after seeing Zheng Yingqi's efficient slaughter with one shot, they not only did not have the courage to fight head-on, but turned around and ran!
Exposing one's back to the enemy at such a close distance and blocking one's own gun with the front is exactly the legendary pig teammate encountering a god enemy.
Of course, Zheng Yingqi unceremoniously accepted the "gift" of the German army, and then shouted: "Put down the gun and surrender!" Whoever puts down the gun doesn't kill! ”
Zheng Yingqi's shouting in German also made the paratroopers of E Company react, and they shouted one after another—before D-Day, the smoothest German they spoke was a total of two sentences:
Lay down your arms and surrender without killing!
I give up! Please treat the captives preferentially!
At this time, of course, it is the first sentence to shout.
The reinforcements divided into three columns, with the cooperation of the German pig teammates, were easily inserted into the German army, obviously there were only a dozen people, but they were stunned to play the momentum of hundreds of people, the Germans retreated backwards in embarrassment, but in the case of crowding, the efficiency of retreat was not comparable to the speed of E Company's brave sprint, and in despair, many German troops lost their weapons and raised their hands, and the paratroopers of E Company also cooperated to let go of the surrendered German troops, which made the Germans' fighting spirit pour out wildly, More and more people are choosing to surrender or continue to run backwards in despair.
The rushing river became a barrier to the Germans' evacuation, and in desperation, the Germans had to flee frantically along the embankment or the land below the embankment.
It is said that the poor are not chasing, but this is a situation, just like now, if you don't take advantage of the low morale of the German army to expand the results of the battle, and wait for the German army to react, then the tide of the battle will have to be reversed, so in this case, Winters made the most correct reaction: "Chase!" ”
A dozen men of E Company hung behind the Germans, constantly driving the Germans and reducing the Germans behind them - but after chasing a few hundred meters, a troublesome situation arose, and the fleeing Germans collided head-on with another German army.
Although the defeated and fleeing Germans disrupted the formation of the German army that was hurrying in, the opponent still had a few supporting firepower points, and the burst of fire interrupted the pursuit of E Company, and also gave the panicked Germans time to react.
"Oh my God! There are only a dozen of them! ”
"Don't run! There are only a dozen of them! Kill them! ”
There were shouts from the German army not far away, and after Zheng Yingqi translated the German army's words from time to time, Winters's face sank.
Don't...... And that's the end of it?
But then the good news came, Welsh came with the remaining 17 men of the 1st platoon, and at the same time brought back good news to Winters, F Company sent a platoon of reinforcements, which was rushing to this side, and the artillery behind also sent observers, and they would arrive in about a few minutes, which meant that they could get artillery support.
The paratroopers that had increased to more than 30 people, and the German troops of hundreds of people were shot at each other, but they did not fall behind, and Winters also mobilized his subordinates to constantly press on, especially the combat group headed by Zheng Yingqi, which repeatedly broke through the German fire blockade and knocked out the supporting firepower of many German troops one after another.
The Germans had to retreat one after another, although the Germans who had fled before had already joined the battle at this time, but their participation made the Germans even more constrained - the two German companies did not cooperate with each other at all, much like the way the American and British armies cooperated with each other in Operation Market Garden.
With the arrival of British artillery observers, the artillery in the rear began to roar, and the Germans, who had no time to dig foxholes, completely lost their will to fight in the shelling.
"We surrender!"
Finally, some Germans shouted, under the alert of the paratroopers, the Germans who shouted surrender raised their hands and went directly out of their positions, and some Germans fired at the surrendering crowd, but they annoyed the rest of the Germans, and in the stunned eyes of the paratroopers, a brief civil strife broke out in the positions of the Germans.
For the Germans, this was a sad moment when the house leak happened to rain overnight, and they finally stabilized their positions, but the other side came with reinforcements, and they were finally able to withstand it, and the other side began to shell. It was not easy to suppress the civil strife of the two companies, but Nima ......
More reinforcements are coming!
For Company E, reinforcements from Company F are coming, and the battle can come to an end - they first chased one company with half a platoon, and then one platoon pressed two companies, and now with one more platoon, wouldn't it be possible to end the battle? And for the Germans, the American army came with reinforcements, and their defeat was inevitable!
In this case, the Germans finally gave up their resistance and began to rush to the crossing point like crazy - that was the crossing point of the German company in the back, where the boats were still there, and they could pull some troops back as much as possible before everyone was annihilated, and in order to evacuate, the two German companies reached a consensus, leaving some people in charge of blocking the attack, and the rest began to scramble to cross the river.
After the battle, the paratroopers learned that the vast majority of the German company they encountered was actually Poles, although this group of Poles surrendered very decisively, and after being abandoned in the later period, they did not resist for too long and chose to surrender, but it has to be said that it was precisely because of their resistance that E Company did not expand the myth, allowing nearly 80 Germans to cross the river by swimming or boating.
Company E wanted to keep more Germans, but the German shelling came at this time, and 88mm shells fell one after another, buying precious time for the retreating Germans to evacuate more than 80 people.
The sudden shelling made the two platoons fall into panic, in the face of the continuous bombardment of the 88 guns, as strong as Zheng Yingqi, what can be done at this time is to hug the head of the rat, under the threat of steel and explosives, probably only God can calmly smile at the wind and clouds, right?
Mortal?
Only shuddering.
In the face of the wailing of their comrades, the paratroopers hid in the still hot craters, and could only rush out to pull the wailing wounded back.
Zheng Yingqi pulled back three wounded people in succession in the middle of the year, the three unlucky ghosts were all injured by fragments, and Ali was among them, this guy was cut off by the fragments of the upper target left in Rumler, and also lost a piece of meat on his buttocks, so he could only lie back and snort, because compared to the other two, his injuries were not serious.
Most of the flesh on Boyle's left thigh was blown off, and Bai Sensen's bones were clearly visible, and in his helpless howls of pain, Zheng Yingqi dragged him into the crater where he was hiding, tore open his pants, sprinkled him with sulfonamide powder, and injected him with pain-relieving morphine.
"I ...... Will you die, won't you? Boyle looked nervously at Zheng Yingqi, who rescued him, and Zheng Yingqi shouted loudly: "You can't die!" Just your wound, even if the German army is finished, you can't die! ”
This is not a comfort, the powerful late-stage capability of the US military is there, if such an injury is placed on the battlefield of the domestic anti-Japanese war at this time, it can only be three points and ninety-seven points depending on the will of God, but here, Boyle may not need to amputate his leg......
Another unlucky ghost was even worse, his leg was directly blown up by the cannonball, Zheng Yingqi could only tightly tie the other party's wounds, waiting for the shelling to send people away - such injuries can only be leaning behind.
The German shelling finally stopped, and the wounded were carried away at a rapid pace, and everyone hurried out of the area where the shells had been plowed—a total of 18 people were wounded in this shelling, but fortunately, there were no deaths.
"Captain, we've killed three of us, including Sergeant Duckerman from the second platoon." Tired Welsh reported to Winters, who was leaning on the car with trembling hands: "The patrol led by Sergeant Duckermann collided with the Germans, and he was killed instantly by a grenade, but the two patrolmen who followed him were fine, and the other ......"
Welsh said with a gloomy expression: "The Germans infiltrated from the defense area of the third platoon, and the two crossing points were within the patrol range of the third platoon patrol, but the patrol of the third platoon did not find out, and I have sent someone to ask Lieutenant Peacock, the worst case is that the patrol of the third platoon was attacked by the Germans, in that case, we may have six people killed." ”
Winters raised his hand with great difficulty, wiped away the sweat that was still dripping, and sighed and said, "Got it." ”
Although this was an unprecedented victory for E Company, it lost six brothers......
Winters swept his gaze over everyone on the field, and said forcefully: "Let the battalion headquarters send someone over quickly, if the Germans come back at this time, they may see one more number of soccer team casualties." ”
Naturally, the Germans did not send anyone over, and after the interrogation of the prisoners, the regimental headquarters of the 506th Regiment finally figured out what was going on - the two companies of the German army were infiltrated and attacked the left flank in a roundabout way, and if there was no E Company to intervene, the 3rd Battalion on the left flank would face a frontal attack by a battalion of Germans at this time, and at the same time, it would be stabbed from behind by these two roundabout German companies - what was the result, I don't know.
"Look—the boys of Company E, they saved our regiment again!" Colonel Zink, who learned all this, felt a sigh of relief, and at the same time had the idea of promoting Winters, who believed that an excellent officer like Winters should be placed in a more important position and play a more important role.
At this time, E Company was immersed in the joy of a hearty victory.
This great victory would have been more flavorful if it had not been for the shelling at the end of the E Company - but even so, this great victory made everyone in E Company ecstatic, and see, this is the Airborne Forces!
This is the paratroopers, and if they choose to join the ordinary army, how can they enjoy such a legendary victory?
At this time, the paratroopers of Company E did not know what kind of ...... they would experience after a big victory in the next period of time Trough!
Because E Company is going to change its company commander!
(Uh, I seem to be late again?) Again? )
