On this battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke and the sound of killing, the second wave of federal troops appeared on the scene with a completely different mental outlook and made a beautiful charge, forcing a breakthrough through the enemy line from the front. Seeing such an exhilarating scene, Weiss and the soldiers he brought with him suddenly became enthusiastic. It was also at this time that the 16th Combat Division's battle commando team selected elite soldiers and strong organizations finally came!

The morale was "burning", and the opportunity could not be lost, Weiss shouted "Combat commando, attack ......" and rushed towards the Normans in the first place. At this moment, the greatest threat on the battlefield is the armored combat vehicles of the Norman army, which can be damaged and destroyed with pineapple bullets and explosives packs, but with rich combat experience and keen sense of the battlefield, Weiss did not choose to throw mines, but rushed to a heavy machine gun deployed by the Normans on the side of the street. It is one of the standard equipment of the Norman army, 7.8PIR caliber, magazine feeding, fierce firepower, long range, equipped with gun carriages and gun wheels, and a heavy shield-shaped steel plate in front of the gun, which is a sharp weapon on the battlefield both offensive and defensive.

"Brighton, Carson, follow me!" Weiss ran and roared, his hands and guns playing with great waves. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the side of the Norman machine gun battle position, without blinking his eyes or heartbeat, gave the enemy two headshots at a face-to-face distance, left the empty pistol, drew his bayonet, turned over and jumped into the sandbag battle position, and stabbed the blade into the chest of the third enemy soldier with lightning speed, killing all three Norman gunners in the battle position. At the same time, two Union soldiers summoned by him followed closely behind, clearing the remnants of enemy troops around the gun emplacements with rifles and bayonets.

After capturing the enemy's machine guns, Weiss's mind remained in a "cold state". Looking around, seeing a group of Norman soldiers retreating to this side, he immediately took a pineapple bullet from the individual equipment, pulled the ring, threw it out, and leaned over in one go, and reminded the nearby companions to "throw the spindle bullet", just waiting for the grenade to explode, quickly probe to observe, confirm that there is no major threat approaching for the time being, decisively came to the artillery position, quickly turned the direction turntable, moved the muzzle plane, aimed at an enemy armored combat vehicle that was firing, and pinched the shooting trigger similar to the brake of a motorcycle......

Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble......

This powerful cannon sound, like a beating war drum, makes people feel passionate. The bursting machine shells easily tore through the outer wall of the armored combat vehicle from a hundred feet away, and smashed it into flames and black smoke on the spot, but the occupants of the vehicle were not killed on the spot, and out of fear of the flames and the possibility of an explosion at any time, out of the primitive instinct of survival, they fled in panic and crawled. Instead of sneering at them and not falling into the trap, Weiss turned the turntable with an indifferent look and turned the muzzle of the gun to the next Norman chariot.

Rumble...... Rumble......

Two machine shells flew away, hitting the target impartially, and penetrating unhindered. It felt like two or three more rounds would be enough to break it into a pile of scrap metal, but the machine gun was dumb at this time.

The advantage of the magazine feeding system is that it is stable and reliable, and the disadvantage is that the fire is poor, and in this regard, the warring sides are clear but do not have a good solution. Weiss pulled open the gun, took off the magazine, and called, "Carson, reload!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet almost grazed Weiss's steel helmet, and he leaned down in a conditional manner, and took advantage of the momentum to roll sideways to the pile of sandbags. Street fighting is difficult to fight, and the extreme complexity of the battlefield environment is the primary reason. In this neighborhood, more than 80 percent of the buildings were destroyed by artillery fire, and officers and soldiers on both sides basically fought in the rubble. The fierce resistance of the Norman army made a situation on the battlefield in which I have you and you have me......

Leaning on the sandbags, the angle of attack narrowed, and Weiss was able to calmly and calmly observe the situation: the appearance of the combat commando was like a stab in the back for the Norman army under pressure head-on, the situation suddenly deteriorated, and the morale suffered a heavy blow, but the blow did not hurt the vital point, and their fighting spirit remained, and they were killing and wounding the Union troops who were engaged in the counterattack every moment. More and more Union troops poured into the battlefield, and the numerical superiority was creating victory on the battlefield, and they began to crush the Norman infantry, although the casualties were staggering, but they still took out one armored fighting vehicle after another of the enemy, and the victory seemed to be in suspense, only the question of time and cost remained.

Private Carson braved enemy bullets and moved the magazine from the ammunition box at the rear of the battle position to the machine gun. Weiss took a deep breath and got up suddenly, the two of them did not have a tacit understanding but successfully loaded the magazine into the gun. Despite the occasional clinking of bullet fragments against the shield, Weiss resolutely returned to his position, adjusted the muzzle of the gun without distraction, and opened fire on the enemy vehicle that had been hit but failed to destroy, and set it on fire with a short shot.

Overlooking the battlefield, the machine gun that Weiss captured and controlled was only a very inconspicuous firepower point on the battlefield at first glance, but the combat commandos who infiltrated behind enemy lines through the sewer exit were basically veterans who had been tested by war for a long time, and they knew how to "judge the situation and size up the situation" and "take advantage of the situation." They did not bury their heads in rushing around, but consciously concentrated their forces to clean up the enemy in this area, and consciously seized the enemy's technical weapons and used them. In less than ten minutes, dozens of Norman armored fighting vehicles were destroyed. Lost fire support, the remaining Norman soldiers retreated in panic, and only a small number of those who had no time to withdraw continued to defend the so-called imperial honor with their own lives, and most of them sensibly chose to disarm and surrender.

The nearby gunfire thinned out until it died down completely, and Weiss and his companions finally straightened up. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, no one celebrated, not to mention that breaking the Norman army's battle line and meaning victory in the battle, expelling the Normans from the city was the ultimate victory of this counterattack - retaking the center of the city was only a phased goal of this battle. In addition to those who remained to treat the wounded and guard the prisoners, the frontal Union soldiers continued to advance, while the combat commandos and reconnaissance battalion task forces were grouped separately. The former was not under Weiss's command, and their actions were under the direct command of the division headquarters, while the latter was completely under his orders.

After counting, there were still 44 officers and men of the task force regrouped around Weiss, and if there were no losses among the soldiers who had dispersed the reconnaissance, the losses in this battle would have been more than a quarter and less than a third, which was normal in such a tragic urban street fighting.

After the company was assembled and organized, Weiss saw several familiar figures running from the south, followed by a communications soldier with wiring equipment on his back, so he shouted loudly: "Hey! Yagut! Hey! Over here! ”

Hearing the commander's call, the soldiers of the task force company in charge of battlefield reconnaissance and liaison hurriedly led the communication corps to rush over. In the era when radio communication equipment had not yet been miniaturized and portable, laying field telephone lines was the only way to realize real-time communication on the battlefield. As soon as this battlefield reconnaissance liaison group arrived, it only took a few seconds for Weiss to get in touch with the division commander, General Karl.

"The troops fought beautifully, the assault was decisive and powerful, and several hundred prisoners were captured, but the casualties of the troops were also large...... The troops are still on the offensive and are expected to be stubbornly held back by the Norman army in the vicinity of the artificial river in Alfred, and I have sent two reconnaissance groups to reconnoiter the passage and exit from the sewers to the north of the artificial river, and for the sake of seizing the time of the battle, I propose that the combat commandos advance with us......"

According to the original plan, before the end of the counter-attack, as long as no new orders were received, the task force was to continuously carry out combat reconnaissance forward, look for weaknesses and loopholes in the enemy's front, and explore and guide the way for the follow-up troops. In response to this, General Karl said that it was still going according to plan, and as for Weiss's proposal, he asked Weiss to call Lieutenant Colonel Nard, the commander of the combat commando, to speak to him.

The arrogant Lieutenant Colonel Nalde did not come, but asked the adjutant to have a communications corpsman with a wire on his back and a field telephone to lead the combat commando team to the place where the combat commandos were assembled. Weiss didn't know how he communicated with General Karl, but at this juncture, he heard a lot of startled news from several friendly soldiers next to him: the leader of the red fuselage and white wings had been shot down, and the pilot had parachuted, but landed in the area north of the city controlled by the Norman army.

What the soldier described was clearly Nikolai's landline!

No matter how top-notch a pilot is, even if he is a gifted master, as long as he continues to carry out combat flight missions, it is inevitable that he will encounter danger - it may be a mechanical failure of the fighter, it may be hit by enemy aircraft or local ground artillery fire, and in this era when engine and aerodynamic technology are not so developed, and flying warships are rampant, the probability of these two possibilities is not low. Weiss knew this, and even in the most difficult of circumstances, he was constantly concerned about Nikolai's safety. If it weren't for the war situation, his father, President Leiboyd, would not have agreed to him join the Union Flying Force, and repeatedly led attacks on the Norman fleet. If you witness that thrilling process, Mr. President will have a heart attack!

Weiss stepped forward to ask the soldiers for details, but they only glanced at them from a distance and could not provide more detailed information. Thinking that the two combat reconnaissance groups he sent had already penetrated into the northern area of the city one step ahead, maybe they had the information they wanted. So, Weiss hurriedly ran to the communications corps, at this time Lieutenant Colonel Nend had already finished the call with General Karl, and when he saw Weiss, he was holding his head high and was about to say something to him, but he didn't expect to be swept by directly, and his face was hanging down, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Divisional operator, pick me up on Line 27...... Hey, Bradio? I'm Clumber Haysen, have you seen a plane with a red fuselage and white wings go down? See? What about pilots? I don't know? Beside the communications corps, Weiss made no secret of his eagerness.

"Division operator, give me Line 28...... Hey, Charles, I'm Clumber Haysen, we have a plane with a red fuselage and white wings that went down, and the pilot parachuted, and that's important, did you see that? Didn't you? Listen up, keep an eye on everything related to it, and report to me in time if there is news! ”

Two phone calls in a row, without getting critical information, Weiss felt very bad. When he put down the phone and turned to walk back, he found Lieutenant Commander Nard looking at him with a strange expression.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel, but this fact is in a hurry, if you are offended, ......"

Lieutenant Colonel Nold snorted and interrupted him directly: "Okay, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to find out so clearly." General Karl gave me the order to lead a combat assault team to jump over the enemy's ground lines with you, to wait for an opportunity to surprise the enemy from behind the Alfred artificial river, and to receive our troops across the artificial river. As always, your task force company is scouting ahead, and we'll follow! ”

Weiss didn't have the heart to ponder the other party's words, he answered "yes", and his mood had already flown to the north of the city.

Nikolai, my friend, don't be okay with you!
