257 Independence should not be believed

Yan Zhi took off the M1903 sniper rifle from his back and put the M1 on his back.

View several of the German firepower vantage heights from a sniper scope.

Now, there is a dark silence on these commanding heights of firepower, which is in stark contrast to the forward positions.

There's fraud in this!

The guns on both sides of the strait were loud and the sound of killing was loud and loud, but not a single shot was fired and they remained silent from these commanding heights, and they were definitely waiting for a critical moment to deal a head-on blow to the allied forces.

Yan Zhi concluded that when a large number of Allied sappers rushed to build improvised bridges, these commanding heights of the German army would be fully fired.

The location of this small building at the feet of Yan Zhi is a bit off, although you can see several commanding heights of German firepower, but you can't shoot with a sniper rifle, and the German devils hidden in the commanding heights.

"No, no, no," Yan Zhi turned the muzzle of the gun and whispered to himself, "Standing here, I can only see the German devils on the far right, and I have to change places." ”

Yan Zhi looked to the right, about 400 meters away from the small building where he was, there was a three-story building, which happened to be directly north of several commanding heights of the German army's firepower, if he could occupy this small building, his sniper rifle could kill all the enemies in the commanding heights of firepower within a few minutes.

Yan Zhi judged that there must be German soldiers guarding the three-story building.

If you want to occupy the three-story building, you must quietly kill the defenders inside, and then hide in the building and shoot black guns at the German devils in several commanding heights.

"Black guns?"

"Poof......

Yan Zhi smiled to himself.

It's kind of interesting.

It's a bit of a spoof.

Wait a while, the German devils in the commanding heights don't know where the bullets came from when they die......

…… Thinking of this, Yan Zhi thought it was very funny.

That's good!

Put away the sniper rifle and change back to the M1, and quickly went downstairs, Yan Zhi said to Fan Xiaosi who was guarding downstairs, "Let's go, let's find a good place." ”

Although Fan Xiaosi and they are not very old, they are definitely old foxes on the battlefield, alert, bold, and calm, with the cover of darkness and fog, they shuttle silently through the positions of the German devils.

While dodging the German devils who came from several directions at the same time, Fan Xiaosi took Yan Zhi and them up to a two-story building.

Standing behind the window on the second floor, Yan Zhi saw that there were German soldiers hurrying by from time to time, many of them were sleepy-eyed, some were yawning, one by one like headless flies, looking at the artillery fire in the air in horror, not knowing whether the shells that crossed the air were fired by their own side or by the other party.

Although the Germans were the first to attack, they were not fully in shape and were still mobilizing their troops.

Judging from the panicked and overwhelmed movements and expressions of these German soldiers, it did not look like they were preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Allied forces, Yan Zhi judged that the Germans may have noticed that the Allied detachments had infiltrated their positions, so they hurriedly launched an attack on the Allied positions, using the method of attacking instead of defending, mobilizing their own soldiers, so that the Allied detachments that infiltrated their positions had no chance.

The Germans are really clever at this trick!

Major General William C. Leigh, commander of the 101st Airborne Division, had been conducting sandbox exercises with all the combatants in the temporary war room until four o'clock in the morning, when he and Brigadier General Mariano Rivera La Paz, commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 29th Airborne Division, returned to their respective rooms not far from the temporary war room.

The first shell fired by the German Tiger tank exploded about 100 meters from the room of Rear Admiral Wilhelm C. Leigh.

When Major General William C. Leigh arrived in the war room, Brigadier General Mariano Rivera La Paz was already in the war room, furious at the divisional combatants.

The shell landed 70 meters away from his room, and the old building where he lived almost collapsed.

"I have long said that the Chinese are unreliable, and General William C. Leigh just does not believe it, and he has to let the independent company of the ZG take out the commanding heights of the Germans.

Now that they hadn't killed the damned, deadly Germans across the river, they couldn't even see their figures, and I wondered if they had found a place to hide away from the battlefield.

I said let my garrison company cross the river and eat up a few of the commanding heights of the Germans, but you would rather choose the ZG soldiers who are losing on the ZG battlefield to carry out such an important mission.

The soldiers of the ZG Independent Company are unreliable, they are short, all of them are yellow and thin, they have little combat effectiveness, and they have no tactical literacy, and occasionally they win a battle, which makes you look at them with admiration.

Now we are in big trouble, the damned Germans have tanks to help them overnight, so that our army is in a dilemma for a while, and the group of ZG soldiers entrusted by you with the important task disappeared at the most critical time.

We want to attack the river crossing, but those damn commanding heights on the German positions opposite will be a nightmare for all our airborne troops. ”

Brigadier General Mariano Rivera La Paz heard the sound of military boots coming from outside the door, and he knew that it must be Major General William C. Leigh, so he deliberately raised his voice and loudly reprimanded the captains in the War Department.

Last night, Brigadier General Mariano Rivera La Paz and Major General William C. Leigh had a dispute over which unit to send to sneak across the river and take out several commanding heights in the German forward positions.

Brigadier General Mariano Rivera La Paz wanted to send his most trusted company of guards to carry out this difficult task, but Major General William C. Leigh decided that it would be most appropriate for the Chinese Independence Company to be entrusted with this important task.

Although Brigadier General Mariano Rivera La Paz had long heard that the Chinese Independence Company had made great achievements in the battle of the Allied airborne troops on Omaha Beach, he had only heard of it, he had not seen it personally, and he did not believe that a small detachment of several dozen people could stir up a bloody storm in the German position of a regiment.

There are too many examples of such exaggerations of merit in wartime.

Generals always put gold on the faces of their troops, always find ways to hide casualties, and report good achievements, often exaggerating the achievements of the army exponentially, so that they can get more material rewards and have a greater chance of promotion and fortune in the future.

After a night of sand table maneuvering, Major General William C. Leigh and Brigadier General Mariano Rivera La Paz finally agreed to launch a full-scale attack on the German positions as soon as the fog cleared at dawn.

No one would have thought that the remnants of the German infantry division, which had always been on the defensive and had only 3,000 people left, would dare to take the initiative to attack.

No one even thought about where the Germans got the damned Tiger tank, and the diabolical Leopard tank.
