243 Crossing the River (Asking for a Monthly Pass Recommendation Ticket Five-Star Praise)
The Germans occupied the eastern side of the river, and no sniper rifle shots rang out.
As a result, several Allied soldiers accelerated their movement towards the river.
On the other side of the river, only sporadic gunfire rang out on the west side, and the east side remained silent.
"Smack!"
Yan Zhi fired a shot across the river, and the muzzle of his M1903 spat out red flames, which were very conspicuous in the faint fog.
And after Yan Zhi fired this shot, he didn't seem to dodge, his steel helmet still stayed in that window, and M1903 was still in the window.
Under the window, Yan Zhi held a stick in his hand, and shook it twice in the window with his steel helmet on top of it.
On the east side of the river, the Germans remained silent.
Yan Zhi retracted his hand, took back the steel helmet, reached out to retrieve the M1903 sniper rifle, and came down from the current building, and after more than ten seconds, he appeared in the window of another small building, and his gunshot sounded again, and then his steel helmet still stayed in the window, and the sniper rifle also stayed in the window.
The east side of the river remains silent.
"Up!"
Yan Zhi whispered to Zhao Fugui downstairs.
"Quack, coo!"
Downstairs, Zhao Fugui smacked his tongue and learned the two long and three short sounds of the frog.
"Coo, quack!"
So, on the bank of the river, there was a sound of three short and two long frogs responding.
Then a dozen Allied soldiers slowly rose from the ground, including those who had been hit by German snipers.
A dozen soldiers took a few strange steps forward, but there was still no movement on the other side of the river.
At this time, the dozen or so soldiers fell down one after another, and then a dozen other soldiers stood up, and they quickly took out the wine bottle from their bodies, poured it into the sky and poured it a few times, put it on the ground, took off all their clothes and shoes, put it on their rifles, and walked into the river.
After the dozen or so soldiers took off their clothes, their bodies seemed to become darker, almost merging with the night.
On the ground after they left, there were a dozen straw men.
It turned out that the soldiers who appeared from the room just now were just scarecrows wearing allied clothes and steel helmets, they lowered their heads and lowered their bodies, and under the cover of light fog and night, they actually hid from the snipers of the other side, attracting snipers to shoot.
And controlling these scarecrows were the soldiers of the independent company, who blackened their bodies and faces with soot, and used the fog on the ground and the cover of the night to hold the scarecrows wearing military uniforms and steel helmets, crawling forward on the ground, detecting the fire points of the opposing snipers, and being destroyed by Commander Yan one by one.
On the west side of the river on the opposite bank, snipers on both sides still fired cold guns at each other, breaking the silent night from time to time.
A dozen soldiers of the Separate Company went into the water and began to cross the river.
On the bank, a dozen machine guns were mounted and aimed at the other side of the river, and as soon as the Germans were spotted, a dozen machine guns would fire fiercely to cover the soldiers crossing the river.
At this time, the soldiers crossing the river were extremely vulnerable, and if there were still snipers on the other side, these dozen soldiers would undoubtedly be severely damaged.
In such a cold winter, this small river has formed a layer of ice as thin as cicada's wings, and if the soldiers are shot, they cannot get underwater, because to get under the water to avoid bullets in such a cold winter night, it is almost to find death, even if they are not hit by bullets, they will freeze to death at the bottom of the water, and they will never be able to float again.
More than a dozen soldiers of the independent company crossed the river safely, and their black charcoal was washed clean by the river.
After crossing the river, a dozen soldiers did not immediately put on their clothes, but quickly found a thorny place to hide, and guarded the soldiers who were about to cross the river behind them, and then shivered to get dressed.
Seeing that the dozen or so soldiers of the Independent Company had successfully crossed the river and established a defensive and covering position on the opposite bank, the soldiers of the Independent Company and the E Company, who had already taken off their clothes and were waiting in the room, lined up in a long line, and walked out of the house under the leadership of Winters.
After crossing the river, the soldiers did not immediately put on their clothes, but immediately found a place of shelter and put on their clothes to guard the troops crossing the river behind.
At this moment, Yan Zhi has been standing tall on a building, his eyes are like electricity observing the other side of the river, holding an M1903 sniper rifle, as long as there are Germans on the other side of the river, he will immediately kill the first German. He was sure that he would kill 20 of the other party's 20 people within 20 seconds to protect the safety of the brothers who crossed the river.
In less than five minutes, more than 100 soldiers successfully crossed the river, and then, under the leadership of Winters, found bunker near the opposite river bank line and set up a simple defensive position.
In the end, Yan Zhi, Xu Zheyou, and Zhao Fugui successfully crossed the river together.
On the bank of the river after Yan Zhi and them crossed the river, more than a dozen "Allied soldiers" lying on the river beach were left behind, and they were used to confuse the German reconnaissance.
These scarecrows were wearing military uniforms and helmets, lying on the bank of the river, and if they hadn't walked in front of them in person, no one would have been able to see that these corpses on the river beach, the "allied soldiers" who had been dead for a long time, turned out to be scarecrows.
After crossing the river, all the Allied soldiers were scattered around the houses on the other side of the river.
There were no Germans in these rooms near the riverbank, and the surrounding areas were safe, and the Allied soldiers crept into them, and each man sat in the room with a gun, and was not allowed to speak, move, or smoke.
According to Yan Zhi's instructions, the soldiers of several independent companies found the small building where several German snipers who were killed by Yan Zhi just now, dragged the bodies of several German devils aside and hid them, and then took their Mauser 98K sniper rifles and shot at the scarecrows on the opposite bank from time to time, or shot at the room where there was no one, so as to deceive the Germans and make the Germans feel that everything was normal in their eastern position.
The Allied soldiers who stayed on the other side of the river also had a tacit understanding and played a tacit game with their own people on the other side of the river, and the two sides fired at the open ground from time to time to prevent the Germans from being suspicious.
After settling the soldiers, Yan Zhi, Winters, Zhao Fugui, and Li Dazui took advantage of the cover of the night and the gradually thickening fog to touch the hinterland of the German army.
Colonel Synck gave the Independence Company and E Company the task of touching several commanding heights in the German forward positions.
Yan Zhi and Winters believed that it was not appropriate to take a few high points in the German forward positions at this time, because these commanding heights would always be in contact with the German division headquarters, and if these German commanding heights were taken at this time, the independent company would be exposed in less than half an hour.
You must know that the German army on this side of the river has an integrated division, although after a fierce and tragic battle, this integrated division has only 3,000 men left, but if they find the 100 or so men of the independent company and the E company together, they will immediately send heavy weapons to kill them.
will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected.
The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and commanders should not stick to one pattern but should flexibly apply strategy and tactics.
Therefore, after discussing with Winters, Yan Zhi believed that for the time being, instead of capturing the commanding heights of these German forward positions, he should first find the location of the German division headquarters, and when the battle began tomorrow, the more than 100 people on his side would violently attack the German division headquarters with lightning speed, cooperate with the frontal attack of the allies, and quickly disintegrate it from the enemy's interior.
