Chapter 0405: Actually, there are no heroes in war

What is Battlefield?

The battlefield is a hell where death has no dignity!

Around Novell, traces of hell can still be seen - the remnants of the battle on the 20th of last month, several wrecked Shermans are lying on the pale ground, surrounded by frost and silver, and inside and outside these Shermans, there are still many frozen, horrible-looking corpses.

On the 20th, the Soberry detachment and the 2nd Battalion withdrew from the defensive line with Foisie as the core, although they bought 48 precious hours of precious time at the critical time when the 101st Division arrived in Bastogne, their retreat was still defeated, and these corpses were left here in this way, waiting for ...... It's a month smaller.

It may be that everyone felt the heaviness of the coming storm, and looking at the corpses from afar, Hubul couldn't help but whisper: "If we die, someone will always deal with the corpses, right?" ”

The others were stunned, obviously the corpses of their comrades-in-arms in recent months had caused them a great impact on their hearts.

Feeling the gloomy atmosphere of the Hubler group, Zheng Yingqi said: "Last time, it was the Germans who had the advantage, they were the attackers, and we could only defend passively, but now we ......."

He pointed behind him and said, "We are the attackers!" We are here to kick the Germans into the abyss! ”

The morale of the paratroopers is always so easy to inspire, as soon as they think that they will end this war with their own hands as soon as possible, several paratroopers in the Hubul group laughed again, Zheng Yingqi patted Hubuler on the shoulder before leaving, and when Hubuler laughed, he glared at this guy - the meaning of the warning is obvious, you are a non-commissioned officer, you are the backbone of this group, will you lead the team?

……

Under the intervention of Zheng Yingqi, the 2nd Battalion easily arrived at the village of Recowne, and the 2nd Battalion, with D Company as the arrow, easily occupied Recowne, and then rushed in the direction of Coubulu - after occupying Coubulu Village, the 2nd Battalion would be like a bayonet against the throat of the town of Norville, and the Germans in the town would wash their necks and wait for the butcher's knife to come.

But how could the Germans be captured? How could he allow this bayonet to occupy the village of Kaublu and then hold it against his throat?

"The Germans are out! Get ready! ”

Khubler's roar could be heard dozens of meters away, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Nowell, and then gasped.

Come out, come out, why do so many people come?

You really look up to me!

Looking at the old German array pulled out, Zheng Yingqi cursed in his heart.

Although the flat terrain here is not a nightmare for defense, it is definitely not a good place, in the case of being outnumbered, there is no psychological comfort at all, the only thing that can comfort people is that now that D Company has laid down the village of Recaogne, which only serves as a guard post, he does not need to hold out here for long, just let the 2nd Battalion break through from here.

"We can stay here for 20 minutes at most, 20 minutes is enough for all of our 2nd Battalion to break through from here!" Zheng Yingqi shouted cheers up the paratroopers, but then he passed Big Brother (crossed?) Reported to Spears on the dynamics of the German army.

"I'll build a makeshift position behind your front, and your troops will fight for a quarter of an hour!" Spears's answer reassured Zheng Yingqi, but the battle broke out immediately - the Germans opened the way with artillery fire, and the infantry almost stepped on the bombing point and launched a charge.

[When the Germans were at their tightest, they were ...... fatter than several countries on the Asian battlefield]

Zheng Yingqi silently sighed, the German infantry began to approach under the cover of the tank, the machine guns of the four guard groups began to roar at the same time, and the crossfire made the German infantry hiding behind the tank fall to the ground one after another, but the German tank immediately began to roar, and the exposed machine gun positions began to meet waves of shelling.

After only three minutes of firefighting, two of the four groups had machine guns that were directly muted, but fortunately, judging from the sound of the rifles, there was no such thing as a pot.

The paratroopers desperately held back the attacking enemy, but this time the enemy also desperately followed, following the infantry of the tank, regardless of casualties.

When the tank entered more than 40 meters away from the blocking line, Zheng Yingqi's hind hand, which had been holding it down, finally went crazy, and the five-door Bazooka rocket launcher destroyed two tanks, but the German officers forced the retreating infantry to continue the attack under the cover of the last tank.

"The Germans are coming up!" Hubl yelled.

Zheng Yingqi understood that this was to make him order a retreat.

But...... How to return?

The entire 2nd Battalion is marching frantically on this wide field, and the 2nd Platoon is arranging a blocking position more than 100 meters long more than 300 meters behind their position, and now retreat, the 2nd Platoon will face the Germans' front, without positional cover, they are destined to be crushed by the Germans, and the 2nd Battalion will be cut off by the Germans at that time!

"Can't be returned! We have to hold on for another ten minutes! ”

Zheng Yingqi roared, Hubuler cursed, and said to the two recruits in the group with red eyes, "Follow me!" ”

This was the worst battle the 1st Platoon had ever experienced since D-Day - facing the enemy with the least number of troops, and it was still on open ground without cover, although the battle lasted only more than ten minutes, but it was a tragic white-knuckle battle, and when the Germans rushed into the position, these paratroopers did not choose to retreat, nor did they raise their hands, but under the leadership of their platoon commander, they fought hard!

The Germans were also confused!

They rushed over with great losses, thinking that the Americans would retreat with the situation, but they did not expect that the other side would not retreat, but fought with them in a melee together, and the brutal white-knuckle battle made the German army lose a lot of momentum.

Compton, who was building a second line of defense, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, Nima, so fierce!

After seeing the Germans being dragged into a white-knuckle battle by the 1st platoon, Spears seized the opportunity and yelled at the 2nd platoon, which was still rapidly building a position: "Rush with me!" ”

The soldiers' favorite officer was the one who shouted to me, and when Spears rushed with the sapper shovel, the paratroopers rushed out without hesitation - the rest of the 2nd Battalion on the march witnessed this crazy scene, and their scalps tingled.

Of course, the 2nd Platoon did not directly join the white-knuckle battle, but after reaching the periphery of the battlefield, it spread out and skinned the chaotic German troops in a point shot.

The Germans originally thought that the American troops would run after they pounced on the position, but they never thought that they would be dragged into the most tragic white-knuckle battle, and even the formation could not be expanded.

Before their commander could make a decision, the German soldiers made a decision for their commander - run!

Defeat is like a mountain!

When the first soldier desperately fled appeared, the battle was already doomed, and the German commander could only follow the soldiers with disbelief, anger, despair and other emotions like a flood of defeat.

The Germans were defeated unscientifically, and everyone in the 2nd Battalion, who witnessed this scene, was thinking:

Isn't that unscientific?

The most outrageous thing is that it was originally a blocking battle to buy time, but before the battle ended, he actually captured more than a dozen Germans who raised their hands and surrendered directly after being frightened - this is even more outrageous!

"Win?" Hubler looked at the battlefield with a vacant gaze, and this was won?

"Win." Zheng Yingqi on the side gasped and sat on the battlefield full of corpses and howls, and even not far from him, a German soldier was covering the wound stabbed by the bayonet, shouting with difficulty: "Seagulls pounce on rice!" ”

Huebler sat next to the pleading German soldier, took out the pistol that killed him in the original time and space, and slowly aimed at him in the German soldier's pleading, and at the moment when Huebler pulled the trigger, Spears held his hand and shook his head gently.

Sergeant Hubler, who succeeded Gordon and was known for his broken mouth, suddenly burst into tears: "They are all dead...... They're all dead......"

Spears sat down beside Hubule, took him into his arms, patted the collapsed Hubule, and said vigorously: "You have done a good job, their sacrifice is worth it, they saved the entire 2nd Battalion and avoided the heavy losses that the 2nd Battalion may have suffered...... You're all good! It's all good! ”

……

The 2nd Battalion launched an assault on the village of Kaublu, and most of the units of the three companies participated in the attack, with only the makeshift infirmary and a group of soldiers who could not participate in the battle crouching behind and watching the battle.

Private Garcia, who was walking and clicking, walked to the resting place of the 1st platoon of E Company, took out a pack of dripping cigarettes, threw it aside in annoyance, rummaged through his pocket for a long time, found a pack of cigarettes that had not been opened, and handed them to everyone in the row one by one after opening the package, even Zheng Yingqi, who did not smoke, took one, lit it and took a big puff slowly, but spit out all the cigarettes directly from his mouth without passing through his lungs.

"What's the matter with you?" Zheng Yingqi asked.

"I didn't jump over the river when I crossed the river, and I fell asleep in ......"

"More than a meter wide, you didn't jump over?"

"Carrying six mortar shells, overestimating myself." Garcia shuddered at himself, "Our platoon commander said that my clothes are frozen now, and I can hear the clicking sound in Berlin when I walk, so he didn't let me participate in the attack." ”

"Hold on, and when you're here, you can change out of your clothes."

Garcia nodded fiercely, and then said, "Platoon Commander Jacob, your platoon is good!" ”

"Thank you."

"I mean really, we all think you're real heroes!"

"Heroes?" Chewing on the word in his mouth, Zheng Yingqi suddenly laughed and said, "In war, there are no heroes. ”

He hasn't counted the current situation in the 1st platoon, and everyone seems to have forgotten the statistical report, hero?

In this case, the hero?

Scold......

Garcia didn't understand what Zheng Yingqi meant, but stubbornly said: "You are heroes!" ”

"You can go over there and help, I think the medics welcome a perfect workforce, and the sound of your clothes being icy and walking is something that the wounded may like more."

Garcia scratched his head: "Platoon Leader Jacob, I want to have a good chat with you when I have time in the future, I want to write your story into a book!" ”

"Okay, I'll have time to say." Zheng Yingqi was perfunctory, and Garcia left - he left here with most of the pack of cigarettes in his arms and went to the infirmary to help.

……

The battle for Kaublou was just as fierce, with the wounded being brought down from the front line one by one, but the Germans here were dying and struggling, and the battle evacuation of Kaublou came to an end after the last of the recalcitrant houses collapsed in the sound of explosions in the dark.

Zheng Yingqi's eyes were locked on Nowell, who was 800 meters awayβ€”tomorrow, it would be to attack there.
