256 Barrage Blocking Zone (Asking for Monthly Pass Recommendation Tickets)
When Sobel was the commander of E Company, he often led the soldiers to practice their eyesight in simulated positions at night, so that the soldiers could quickly adapt to the darkness when they were airborne at night.
When both sides are in the dark, the soldiers on either side will have the upper hand to adapt to the darkness.
Now, the ability that Sobel had taught the soldiers of Company E to adapt quickly to the darkness has finally come in handy.
Even in the darkness and fog, the soldiers of Company E still had better eyesight than Independent.
Winters listened to Wu Zhonghua's suggestion, and at this time it can only be like this, there is no better way.
Captain Mike Winters ordered six soldiers of Company E to carry anti-tank bombs, and in teams of two, they used the cover of darkness to quickly approach the thorn bushes around the German tank positions that were firing artillery and take cover, looking for an opportunity to enter the German tank positions and destroy the German tanks.
Winters told the six soldiers who went to blow up the tank not to make unnecessary sacrifices, and if there was no chance, just wait!
On the battlefield, recklessness equals death!
For the task of blowing up the tank, Winters did not assign soldiers from the independent company to go with him.
After all, there is a language barrier between the soldiers of the two companies, and now to bomb a tank, there must be a very high tacit understanding between the soldiers.
If it weren't for the wartime and war situation, the soldiers of the two companies would not have joined forces.
The soldiers of the independent company knew almost nothing about how to blow up tanks, and they had never even experienced such a simulation class.
Winters knew how to use his soldiers to their advantage.
The soldiers of the independent company are good at assault, have rich battlefield experience, and are masters of gnawing hard bones.
The soldiers of Company E are inferior to the Independent Company in terms of battlefield experience, but they are superior to the Independent Company in the use of weapons and tactics.
The soldiers of the two companies have their own strengths, and when they join together, their power is greatly increased!
Winters led the Allied forces, using the cover of small buildings, to quietly approach the German division headquarters. His eyes are very good, and he can see the darkness dozens of meters away.
Suddenly, Xu Zheyou, who was walking in front with Winters, made a stop gesture!
All the soldiers immediately crouched in the shadows, keeping absolutely hidden.
"There is an enemy ambush ahead!" Xu Zheyou whispered to Winters.
Listening to the interpreter's words, Winters raised his eyes to look ahead, and he could not see that there was an ambush near the German division headquarters.
"Look," Xu Zheyou said to Winters, pointing to the thorn bush not far away, "when the German artillery fire flickered in the air, there was a white cross on the German steel helmet in the thorn bush, faintly shining. ”
Winters looked closely, and sure enough, when the German tanks fired, the shells pierced the night sky and glowed, and countless white bright spots appeared and disappeared in the thorn bushes ahead, which were difficult to spot if you didn't look closely. These white dots of light are so tiny that they can easily be overlooked by the powerful brilliance of the cannonballs.
Winters secretly said that he was ashamed, if Xu Zheyou hadn't found out in time, he might have entered the encirclement of the Germans with his soldiers by now.
"What now!" Winters asked.
At this time, Wu Zhonghua and Fang You also quietly came to Winters and Xu Zheyou's side.
Xu Zheyou said: "In the current form, it is impossible to raid the German division, the German army is on guard, and their troops in ambush are far superior to ours.
We might as well retreat to the morgue and wait for our chance.
The small morgue building was not far from the German division headquarters, and when the Allies launched a full-scale attack, the defenses around the German division headquarters would be relaxed. ”
Wu Zhonghua said: "Judging from the current situation, the German army must know that their position has been infiltrated by us, and when the German army is fully arranged, they will definitely find and destroy us in the position."
But they would never have imagined that we would hide in the little building where they parked their bodies.
When they can't find us anywhere, they will think that just a few of our men have infiltrated their positions, and they will let their guard down. ”
Second Lieutenant Glenn Hurters of Company E also quietly followed, and after listening to the conversation of several people, he said: "Now that the Germans are launching a fierce attack on our positions, we should storm their division headquarters and relieve the pressure on our side!" ”
Wu Zhonghua said: "As far as our more than 100 people are concerned, it is useless to attack them by force, it is equivalent to going out to die."
As soon as the battle starts, we will be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and we will not be able to hold out for even 20 minutes, and we will not have the effect of relieving the pressure on our positions at all. ”
Mike Winters nodded, Wu Zhonghua was right, as long as more than 100 of them launched an attack on the German division headquarters, there would be countless enemies on all sides of them, and the final result could only be the annihilation of the entire army.
Xu Zheyou said: "Since we can't storm the enemy's division headquarters, it is better to retreat and wait for the opportunity, when the enemy and us enter the white heat, we will suddenly kill and catch the enemy by surprise, which may immediately change the direction of the battlefield." ”
Winters whispered: "Order the troops, the guard will become the forward, withdraw to the small building, and wait for the opportunity!" ”
Second Lieutenant Glenn Hutters whispered, "That...... What about the six brothers who were sent out to blow up the enemy's tank just now? ”
"When they see that we are not attacking the enemy's divisional headquarters, they will know that the plan has changed, and they will hide and wait for the opportunity!" Winters whispered to Ensign Glenn Huttes, "Don't worry about them. Remove! ”
Yan Zhi took Fan Xiaosi and them quietly to a small building on the north side of the commanding heights of the German devils by the river.
Standing on the roof of the small building, you can see several commanding heights occupied by German devils.
These commanding heights are about 100 meters away from the river bank, and these commanding heights used to be special places for farms to store grain, and the terrain is slightly higher, even in the continuous rainy season, the stored grain will not be wet.
Several commanding heights are actually huge granaries built with cement and giant stones on the seaside, after the military transformation of the German army, these giant granaries have become giant bunkers, holding the most important places by the river, without the assistance of large-caliber artillery fire, the Allied 101st Airborne Division wants to break through these large bunkers, it is very difficult.
Huge stones brought from the seashore to withstand grenade attacks.
At present, the biggest problem facing the 101st Airborne Division is to build a few small bridges on this not wide river, otherwise the soldiers will cross the river and become the target of the German devils in the water.
At this time, a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the river, and even if the soldiers successfully crossed the river, the severe cold would make them incapacitated, and their wet clothes would soon freeze in such a cold climate.
Suddenly, Yan Zhi saw that in the rain of artillery fire, several machine gun positions appeared on the Allied positions, which were marked by the strongest firepower of the enemy at the front, extending forward in the form of a fan, covering 15 meters, and firing the enemy's positions with blocking machine guns.
At this time, all the light and heavy machine guns of the entire 101st Airborne Division were pushed to the front line, ensuring that the tongue of fire of the machine guns could continue to blast out one barrage after another, penetrating the rain of bullets and gunsmoke one after another, forming a dead barrage blocking zone, completely suppressing the enemy's firepower.
When these barrage cut-off zones were formed, the Allied sappers who built the bridge appeared.
