255 Preemptive strike

5:03 20 minutes ago.

Major General Jayron Richardson, commander of the German 702nd Infantry Division, suddenly received a call from the defenders on the east bank of the river, who did not know that several snipers had died in the east of the riverbank, according to the coldness and stiffness of the corpses, the time of death of these snipers should have been two hours ago, and these snipers were all killed by one shot.

And 40 minutes ago, these sniper positions were still shooting at the Allies on the opposite bank.

There is fraud!

Major General Jaylon Richardson's first reaction - there is fraud!

Major General Jaylon Richardson immediately asked the orderlies to inform all the personnel of the divisional operations department to come to the operations headquarters for a meeting within a minute.

At the same time, Major General Jaylon Richardson ordered the operational staff officers to make telephone calls to the regimental headquarters and order all the soldiers to enter their defensive positions at once, and that no one should make a sound, and that there should be no light in all positions except the river, and that everything must be done in the dark.

ordered, the whole division immediately entered a wartime state.

Order, in particular, to strengthen the alert and defense of all tanks that arrived in the middle of the night so as not to be exploited by enemy infiltrators.

Order, the guard company strengthened the control around the division headquarters and strengthened the vigilance!

In fact, all the personnel of the divisional combat department have never left the combat department at all.

A minute later, when the division commander, Major General Jaylon Richardson, arrived at the War Department, everyone was waiting for him.

Before the division commander arrived, the combat staff officer had told everyone about the killing of several snipers by the river.

The 702nd Infantry Division responded to emergencies very quickly, and in just a few minutes, everything was arranged!

~~

Due to the fog, poor visibility, and stealthy movement in enemy positions, Winters led the five tank-bombing soldiers to walk slowly.

He still wore the uniform of the German army, walked in the front, prevented the Germans from meeting the German army on the road, and waited until he arrived at the intended attack site, and then changed into the uniform of the Allied army, so as not to be accidentally injured by his own people in the fog.

Wu Zhonghua led more than 100 allied troops composed of two companies of soldiers, followed behind Winters, about 20 meters apart, as long as Winters did not speak, it means that there were no Germans in front of him.

Yan Zhi was also wearing the lieutenant uniform of the German army, and after taking Fan Xiaosi, Zhong Jiagen, and many later, he walked towards the place where the matte red fire faintly came from the riverside, and that position happened to be the position of several commanding heights of the German army.

Suddenly, Yan Zhi felt that the ground under his feet seemed to sink down suddenly, and then a deafening cannon sound sounded not far behind him, and with the moment the air suddenly condensed, a colorful fire dragon rose into the air with an astonishing sound, penetrating layers of fog, leaving a wet red void shadow, galloping, whistling, and falling on the position of the allied forces opposite.

"Boom!"

Even if his vision was blocked by the many small buildings in front of him, Yan Zhi could see a huge matte red fireball rising from the Allied position a few miles away, piercing the fog and night, rising higher and higher.

Immediately afterwards, the ground under Yan Zhi's feet sank again continuously, and then the cannon rumbled, and one after another fire dragons swept through the fog hundreds of meters away from him, lighting up the hazy night sky, like huge meteors, bursting out with breathtaking power, and rushed towards the position of the Allied 101st Airborne Division.

Yan Zhi was shocked, and the Germans fired preemptively.

Tiger and Leopard tanks, firing at Allied positions.

This means that the chances of Winters and their chances of blowing up these tanks are very slim.

No one would have thought that the Germans, who were in a defensive position, would be the first to open fire.

Now the 101st Airborne Division must be beaten a little confused, and it will not be long before the whole division will launch an attack on the Germans.

The 101st Airborne Division had no heavy weapons, no artillery and no tanks, and if they did not attack, they remained in place and could only be beaten.

A dozen tanks of the German army could constantly move positions and carpet bomb the positions of the 101 Airborne Division.

The 101st Airborne Division could only attack with all its divisions, and at this time, the Germans had already set up defenses on the banks of the river, waiting for the 101st Airborne Division to attack.

The 101st Airborne Division knew that the attack would suffer heavy losses, but they had to attack under heavy enemy tank fire.

Yan Zhi moved forward quickly, and he had to knock out several commanding heights of the German army before the whole division launched a full-scale attack, otherwise the Allies would suffer heavy casualties under the repeated blows of tanks and several commanding heights of the German army.

Fan Xiaosi, Zhong Jiagen, and many others followed closely behind Yan Zhi, and under the illumination of the flying fire dragon in the air, the road under their feet was very clear, and they ran forward quickly.

Yan Zhi knew that he couldn't go back to join the company now, and it was useless for him to go back at this time.

Now, the company can only be handed over to Captain Winters, Wu Zhonghua, and Xu Zheyou.

Winters is calm, courageous, and rich in theoretical knowledge, although he has a little lack of battlefield experience, but with the assistance of Wu Zhonghua, Xu Zheyou, and Fang You, who have rich battlefield experience, he will definitely be able to find a way to deal with emergencies.

At this time, the continuous shells fired by the Tiger and Leopard tanks reflected the sky above the position red, hazy and full of murderous intent and even the fog in the sky, under the scorching red artillery fire, seemed to dissipate a lot.

Yan Zhi couldn't judge how many tanks the Germans were firing, so he could only take Fan Xiaosi and them to keep running forward.

At this time, the gunfire on both sides of the river began to rage, and the Allied soldiers placed on the bank opened fire and launched a machine-gun attack on the German positions, which were only a few tens of meters apart.

The soldiers who were already in place on the river on the German side also began to rush at the Allied positions on the opposite side.

~~

At this time, Winters was leading his soldiers to hide in the gap between several buildings, and just now he led his troops towards the enemy division headquarters, and just halfway through, the German Tiger tanks launched an attack on the Allied positions.

At this moment, Winters thought that it was already difficult to blow up the enemy's tanks, and the Germans would definitely send infantry to defend the tanks.

But Wu Zhonghua didn't think so, he believed that at this time, the German tank position had not been consolidated, and the infantry defense was not in place, so he should take the opportunity to send a small detachment to find the defensive gap that the German infantry had not yet fully arranged, quickly insert it into the German tank position, and take advantage of the chaos to blow up the German tanks, and blow up a few vehicles to reduce the pressure on the Allies as much as possible.

Wu Zhonghua suggested that while sending a small team to bomb the German tanks, the remaining brothers should take advantage of the chaos and unswervingly attack the German division headquarters.

Because Wu Zhonghua judged that from the time Yan Zhi and Winters left the German tank position and returned to the small building, it was only about 20 minutes now, and the Germans did not arrange everything so quickly.

Xu Zheyou and Fang You also judged that they must have gone wrong and were discovered by the Germans, so the Germans temporarily decided to use tanks to suddenly attack the positions of the 101st Airborne Division and strike first.
