Two hundred and twenty-three offense

I wish my brothers and sisters a safe and healthy winter solstice and a happy family!

When Yan Zhi returned, there were many paratroopers descending from the sky, most of them soldiers from E Company and Independent Company.

This made Yan Zhi feel a lot more sure in his heart, each of the soldiers he brought out could be on their own, and they could dominate one side when they got together.

All the soldiers are ready.

All the grenades and grenades on the corpses of the Germans were collected by the soldiers, several of whom were holding the MG42 machine guns of the Germans, and several soldiers of E Company, who were armed with American M1941 machine guns.

The rest of the soldiers were on M1 rifles, already with bayonets.

Several soldiers were trying to mount the Type 38 anti-aircraft guns high enough to bombard German artillery positions.

The range of the Type 38 anti-aircraft cannon can reach about 2,000 meters, and it is an anti-aircraft heavy weapon, with an impact of 450 rounds per minute, which can level a small hill. However, due to the high firing angle of the gun, it is very cumbersome to adjust the angle if you want to shoot horizontally, and the terrain of this machine gun position is relatively concave, so it is difficult to transport these machine guns to a high place and strike at the enemy's artillery position.

At this time, the battlefield was already very chaotic, and if you wanted to mount these machine guns to a high place, you had to use a lot of manpower to lift them, and it would take at least an hour, and even if the machine guns were arranged, it was easy to injure the Allied soldiers who were constantly landing in the air.

Yan Zhi took a general look, and at this time, more than sixty soldiers had been assembled in this area, including more than thirty soldiers from independent companies, and the rest were E Company, as well as airborne troops from various allied countries, and there was also a steady stream of soldiers who landed from the air.

This Normandy landing gathered the elite airborne troops of various Allied countries to participate in it, and many of the airborne troops who had been training at the McCall military training base also joined.

The main bayonet of the US army is the M1905, which is suitable for use on various rifles.

The M1905 bayonet is 41 cm long, the blade is sharp, hard and tough, it is a sharp weapon in close combat, there is a blood groove in the middle of the front of the blade, which is specially used to bleed to cause greater lethality, and it is a bayonet unique to American paratroopers.

Yan Zhi ordered all the soldiers of the independent company to rush forward behind him, forming a sharp knife formation in front, and then rush into the German position, surprise the enemy, and start a white-knuckle battle.

The soldiers of the separate company, each with a Nepali scimitar, some with a bayonet in their left hand and a Nepalese saber in their right hand.

Yan Zhi briefly told the soldiers that most of the Germans in the artillery positions used machine guns to facilitate strafing in the air, and the six or seven gunners of each cannon had no weapons in their hands, so he asked all the soldiers to twist into a rope and rush towards the hinterland of the German artillery group, using the strengths of our weapons to attack their weak points.

As long as it can penetrate the belly of the artillery group of the German devils, it will disrupt the rhythm of the Germans, so that more and more Allied troops will land in the air, and the favorable situation on the battlefield will gradually tilt towards their side.

Originally, this beach was only prepared to parachute the independent company and the E company, but because the German anti-aircraft fire was too ferocious, many C-47s were heavily damaged in mid-air, and the paratroopers on the planes that did not explode were forced to parachute, so the soldiers who could be assembled here were not limited to the more than 200 people of E Company and the independent, as long as they disrupted the air defense rhythm of the Germans, more allied paratroopers would successfully land, and once a certain force was formed, the tide of the war would be turned around in an instant.

The German anti-aircraft artillery fire was deafening, and the fire illuminated almost the entire ground and air of Omaha Beach as if it were day.

Yan Zhi led the soldiers to quickly approach the thorn bushes on the edge of the artillery position of the German devils.

The German artillery positions were still rumbling, 88 mm anti-aircraft heavy guns were constantly spitting huge balls of fire into the sky, and Allied planes were constantly hit, exploded, or fell into the sea.

Yan Zhi led the soldiers to quickly approach the thorny land, at this time, not only to prevent the enemy and his own people from stray bullets, but also to prevent not being smashed on his head by the paratroopers who were constantly landing in the air, because the current form of the battlefield was already very chaotic.

The closer he got to this artillery position, the more Yan Zhi felt that the ground under his feet was rumbling violently, and it seemed that the shock wave left behind by each shell running into the sky could tear a gap in the ground under his feet.

Yan Zhi looked at the artillery position in front of him in the thorny bush, and the shock wave under his feet seemed to be able to jolt people up, and the scorching artillery fire wandered everywhere in the void, cluster after cluster, like a hell messenger who hooked souls everywhere.

Actual combat and training are completely different things.

The vast majority of American paratroopers were on the battlefield for the first time, and as soon as they felt the atmosphere of this killing battlefield, they were instantly shocked by the artillery fire that filled the sky, the smoke of gunpowder that filled the air, and the smell of death rendered by the smell of blood.

The composure that the soldiers had practiced for a long time was swallowed up by the bullets that rained into the air, and the original self-confidence in their hearts was gradually replaced by fear.

Some soldiers were killed by low-flying bullets, hanging their heads on parachutes and slowly descending aimlessly, the blood plasma on their bodies was constantly spurting in the air, and it looked very strange and terrifying by the fire of the shells on the ground.

How to land safely on the ground without being injured is a major subject of paratroopers in peacetime, and now some soldiers are stiffened by great fear and rush towards obstacles that can be easily avoided in peacetime......

Because of nervousness and fear, some paratroopers could not control their parachutes when they landed, causing themselves to fall heavily on the ground, resulting in injuries......

Yan Zhi led the soldiers to bend their waists, using the cover of the thorn layer, quickly approaching the German artillery position, and when they were still more than ten meters away from the position, all the soldiers launched a wave of grenades and grenades at the German position almost at the same time.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, several 88-mm anti-aircraft cannons were dumbfounded, and more than a dozen German soldiers were killed and wounded.

The sudden attack overwhelmed the German soldiers next to several 88-mm cannons. They don't know where the attack is coming from.

The most feared thing for soldiers is that when they are attacked, they do not know where the attack is coming from.

When all the Allied soldiers had just thrown out the first wave of grenades and launched a surprise attack, Yan Zhi took the lead in rushing out of the thorn bushes, and broke into the German artillery positions when the German troops in this area were overwhelmed by the grenade attacks.

The soldiers of the independent company followed behind Yan Zhi, drawing their Nepalese scimitars and killing the enemy group, and the soldiers of E Company and other paratroopers from the Central Allies, holding machine guns or rifles with bayonets that had already been loaded, followed behind the soldiers of E Company, shouting together and entering the German artillery position.
