Two hundred and thirty-five can't wait for reinforcements
Now, the Germans and the Allies, the two sides are fighting all over the coast of Utah, the battle is very fierce, this is a battle that no one can afford to lose, and the two sides are engaged in a tug-of-war for every inch of land.
The German infantry and artillery battalions had already sent a request for reinforcement from Colonel Frederick von when they were hit by combined heavy fire from the Separate Company and Company E.
At this time, Colonel Frederick Von had only one infantry battalion left at his disposal, and this infantry battalion was severely reduced in the battle with the rest of the 502nd Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.
So Colonel Frederick Von had to turn to the commander of the 702nd Infantry Division, Major General Jaeran Richardson, for help.
The 702nd Infantry Division was one of the elite units of Field Marshal Rommel and was responsible for part of the defense of Normandy.
At first, including Marshal Rommel was not convinced that it was a large Allied force that landed in Normandy.
It was only after the annihilation of their artillery regiment stationed on Omaha Beach that Field Marshal Rommel was convinced that the Allies had landed in Normandy.
This caught the German troops stationed in Normandy by surprise, and worse, the German defenses in Normandy were very weak, and under the strong onslaught launched by the Allies, the German defenders in Normandy suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to launch an effective counterattack, let alone withdraw troops to support the defenders on Omaha Beach and Utah Beach.
General Jaylon Richardson has no troops to send. In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, he told Colonel Frederick von that reinforcements were on their way.
Colonel Frederick Fung knew that his troops on the Utah coast had suffered heavy casualties, and he knew that General Jaeran Richardson might not have troops to send, so he had to bring out his reserve company and reinforce it in the direction of the Utah coast.
And the artillery battalions on the coast of Utah believe that as long as they can hold on, they can solve the crisis when their own reinforcements arrive.
The artillery positions on the Utah coast are very important, and the military will definitely send troops over to reinforce them.........
Before the German artillery battalion could come to support, it found that the natural barrier at the front of its position had collapsed in just half an hour. They couldn't believe that the strength of an infantry battalion, in less than half an hour, was eaten by the Allies.
So, the German soldiers of this artillery battalion were afraid. But they are in a position that does not allow them to retreat at all, there are cliffs and seas in front of them, it is impossible to retreat, their back road has been strangled by the Allies, they know that it is possible, today will be their last day in this world.
In the face of death, man's will to survive is superb. So, the soldiers of this artillery battalion stopped firing at the coast of Utah, they picked up their rifles and prepared to defend themselves against the Allied offensive.
Winters continued to attack forward with machine gun fire, advancing step by step, this time using the advantage of firepower to flatten the positions of the enemy artillery battalion, and finally carry out grenade and grenade attacks.
The combat effectiveness of this German artillery battalion was far from that of the infantry battalion that was eliminated, their heavy armament was 108 mm cannons, and the entire artillery battalion was only equipped with four light machine guns, which could not organize an effective counterattack at all.
At the beginning of World War II, the German army's weapons and equipment were very sophisticated, even if it was an artillery battalion, it would be equipped with at least twelve machine guns, but with the consumption of the war, the German army's domestic military industry manufacturing gradually tightened, and the supply of weapons became more and more difficult, and the consumption on the battlefield was much greater than the manufacturing in the rear, so in the later stage of World War II, the weapon configuration of the German troops was gradually decreasing.
Only ten minutes later, the position of the artillery battalion was penetrated by the powerful machine gun fire of the Allied soldiers, but because the terrain they were located was relatively complicated, and some places were uneven, in order to facilitate their concealment of artillery, so if the Allied forces wanted to completely clear the remnants of the enemy in this land, they needed to use individual combat, and the power of the machine guns became correspondingly smaller.
Winters himself led his soldiers forward along the thorn bushes, and with him Private Rald Lorain, Private Win, nicknamed "Bubble Eyes", and Tuesday Baby.
Private Lold Lorraine, who used to be Colonel Sinck's chauffeur and later joined E Company, had long longed for E Company, so Colonel Sinck let him come to E Company.
This was when the previous training of Company E came in handy, as they fought in tandem, advancing layer by layer, forming horns with each other, killing five German soldiers, and continuing their advance along the thorn bushes.
However, due to the very complicated terrain of this artillery position, the low bushes and the obstruction of the ground made it impossible for them to see where the German soldiers in front of them were hiding, so Tuesday Wa climbed onto a large tree with dense foliage.
Pushing aside the leaves, Tuesday saw that a dozen German soldiers were huddled in a trench one hundred and twenty meters away, they were obviously frightened, a dozen people were almost huddled together, the muzzles of their guns were pointing outward, if someone suddenly appeared in front of them, they would definitely be beaten into a nest of ants.
Tuesday gently slipped down the tree, and with Winters, they crawled to the top of the trench where the dozen German soldiers were, and several of them threw several grenades down at the same time, and then rolled aside.
"Boom ......"
When Winters and the others looked up, in front of them there were all the enemy's internal organs, blood everywhere and rotten flesh and bones that had been blown up into the sky, and a severed hand of a German devil fell from the sky and smashed into the steel helmet of the two children.
The wails and cries of several German soldiers were heard in the trenches, apparently not killed on the spot, but had already been wounded, and the sound was very badly wounded
Tuesday Wa just wanted to throw away the severed hand, but found that there was a golden ring on the finger of the severed hand.
Mom......
Tuesday knew that this was a good thing, so he held the gold ring and pulled it out a few times, but he didn't pull it off.
Because the fingers of that hand were blown to a bloody blur, and the bones were stuck in the ring, and they couldn't be pulled off for a while.
Tuesday Wa pulled out the bayonet from her body, chopped off the finger, took off the ring from the severed finger, wiped the blood on the clothes of a dead corpse next to her, and then put the ring on her own hand.
"Just right!" Tuesday Wa said to herself, with color in her eyes, "If this is for the dog to see it, I won't be envious to death." ”
Winters threw a grenade into the half-blown trench below, and the cries and wails below stopped as a burst of bloody rain passed.
Suddenly, several German soldiers came out from under a large pile of dead leaves and ran desperately in the direction of Brell Manor.
These German soldiers were holding pistols in their hands, they should be artillery operators, probably just now I saw Winters and they threw grenades into the trenches, and the trenches were bloody, so these German devils couldn't hide, so they ran in the direction of the manor.
"Kill them." Winters yelled,
