226 Winters' Crisis

Yan Zhi threw out the bayonet in his hand, relieved the crisis of Second Lieutenant Winters, pulled out the pistol from his waist with his backhand, and "snapped ......" seven shots in a row, killing the seven German devils who surrounded Fan Xiaosi and Ma Ben behind him.

Yan Zhi clasped his thumb, the moment the M1911's magazine automatically slipped down, the pistol was inserted back into his waist, and he took out a grenade, and the skull of a German devil who kicked back with his backfoot was shattered and vomited blood, and at the same time he fell to the ground, he pulled out the safety pin of the grenade, and kicked a German devil with a straight low kick, and the knee was shattered with a "click".

The German soldier screamed, reflexively bent down to hug his knees, Yan Zhi's grenade had been stuffed into the collar behind the German devil's neck, one side swept his legs, kicked the German devil into a full bow, flew out seven or eight meters away, flew down between the dozens of German devils who came to this side, smacked down seven or eight people, the grenade burst with a "boom", and suddenly, dozens of devils cried wolf howls, and for a time the stumps and broken arms, flesh, blood rain, and flesh and mud flew all over the sky, and several steel helmets jumped into the air, Fell and smashed on the heads of several German devils.

The paratroopers of the Allied countries descended downward, and they watched a Chinese major from afar in the air, as if they were in a no-man's land, and killed a dozen Germans in a matter of seconds.

The major of the independent company was sometimes like a god, majestic, brutal in killing, fighting a bloody way in the enemy's position, and everywhere he went, the German devils suffered countless casualties;

He was sometimes like a ghost, rolling and moving near the cannon, slashing the enemy's legs with his knife, and after killing seven or eight German devils in a few rolls, his body rose into the air and knocked a German into the air, a large area of the sternum was inverted, and he vomited blood.

Yan Zhi jumped up, jumped on top of the cannon three or four meters high, and then fell with both feet, stepped on the heads of the two German devils, and stomped their helmets on their shoulders along with their necks, and finally there was no neck, and blood gushed out from around the brim of his hat.

The Allied paratroopers in the air saw that behind this killing god, there were more than thirty soldiers of the independent company, each of whom seemed to be crazy, following behind their demonic commander, fighting to the death.

They act in unison, kill decisively, everyone only attacks and does not defend, no matter how many enemies attack behind them, they all attack forward, and the enemies behind them will always be killed by the brothers behind.

The tacit understanding between all the soldiers of the independent company has reached perfection, and each of them believes that when they are facing the enemy, the crisis behind them will be cleared by their comrades.

The level of trust between them has reached a point that terrifies the enemy.

The soldiers of the Allied countries who followed the Chinese Independence Company were also infected by the bravery of these soldiers of the Independence Company, and burst out with great combat effectiveness.

When Winters landed, the only weapon he had left was the bayonet stuck in his boot, and his leg pocket disappeared as soon as he jumped off the plane.

Ensign Winters was flying in a C-47 with Gordon and the others, and they were all terrified when their plane suddenly fell under heavy anti-aircraft fire. Their pilot, Andrew Lannes, had no combat experience before that.

When he saw the cannonballs swarming like cobwebs on the ground, chasing and intercepting his plane, Andrew Lannes was so frightened that his face turned pale, and for a moment, like a fool thinking with his feet, instead of slowing down, he stepped on the accelerator, increasing the speed he had just slowed down to 160 miles per hour, although he did not know where he was at this time, only that it was somewhere over Normandy.

When Andrew Lannes began to panic, his emotions infected the crew, and the parachutist quickly turned on the green light and urged the paratroopers to prepare for the airborne landing, telling him that the sooner they left this ghost place, the better their chances of survival.

Lipton was the first to jump off the plane.

The second to jump off the plane was Private James.

The third was Private Paul Rogers, who threw his leg out and jumped out as requested, but he fell at the door of the cabin, his head and half of his body hanging from the door of the cabin, and the heavy leg bag hung under the door, and as the air swirled, the leg bag became heavier and heavier, and soon tore Rogers in two, causing him to scream in pain.

In the moment of crisis, the tall Gordon shoved Rogers out from behind, and two seconds later, Gordon himself jumped after him.

"Leg wearing" is a method devised by the British Airborne Forces, which has not been tested in actual combat before, and later this method has flowed into the American Airborne Forces.

The bags contained ammunition, radios, tripods for machine guns, medical equipment, high explosives, and other equipment.

A quick-release mechanism is attached to the hook in the cabin, and when the "leg bags" are released, a 20-foot rope connects them to the paratroopers' parachutes.

When the parachute is opened, the paratrooper carries the weight of the legs. The leg bag is tied to the paratrooper's leg, and when landing, the leg bag lands before the paratrooper, and theoretically the paratrooper should fall on the big leg and do not need to spend time looking for his own equipment.

However, it backfired, and the "leg wearing" later became a nightmare for many allied paratroopers.

Second Lieutenant Winters jumped after Gordon, and as he descended, he could hear the bells of the church ringing in the air not far away.

Winters saw the German artillery positions as he descended from the air, and also saw the soldiers of the independent company, led by their major company commander, bravely storm the German artillery positions, creating a blood-colored air corridor for the Allied paratroopers. So he fell in the direction of Yan Zhi, and when he landed, he saw Gordon, who jumped out of the plane before him, surrounded by a group of Germans, and was tearing up the Germans with a machine gun that had not yet been assembled, and a German soldier on the side fell to the ground holding his head and struggled, obviously, when Gordon descended, the military boots kicked him on the head.

Winters kicked over a German devil with a cannon latch, who was about to wait for an opportunity to smash Gordon's head, and inserted the bayonet into his throat, picked up the cannon latch in his hand, and smashed it on the calf bone of a German devil, when the devil let out a pig-like howl, Winters pulled out the bayonet and stabbed him in the throat, he was just about to pick up the machine gun dropped by the German devil and shoot around, but another German devil grabbed his neck from behind, and rolled on the ground together. There were German shaking leather boots everywhere, and when Winter inserted the bayonet in his hand into the German abdomen again, and quickly stood up, a German picked up a machine gun and smashed it at his head, he was unstable, and there was nowhere to dodge, just at the last moment, Yan Zhi's bayonet flew from more than ten meters away, and stabbed into the throat of the German devil who wheeled up the machine gun and smashed it on his head.

Winter narrowly escaped death, threw a grateful look at Yan Zhi, pulled the trigger of the machine gun in his hand, and sprayed the bullets frantically towards the German devils, for a while, the miserable howl continued, and the Germans fell under his angry gun.
